JUDGES, COPS TO GO TO ‘MAT’ ON ‘LOST’ RUM Safety Board Will Conduct Hearing on Disposal of Liquor Evidence. Further investigation into what appears to be suspicious circumstances regarding disposal of a liquor case in municipal court, that resulted in acquittal of the defendant, will be made at a hearing next Tuesday before the safety board. The board will ask Municipal Judge Clifton H. Cameron to attend the hearing and explain what is alleged to have been a “mistake” in ordering destroyed liquor which could have been used as evidence. This decision was reached by the board today when Police Chief Jerry Kinney, reported he found insufficient evidence against three police officers to warrant filing charges against them for what Criminal Judge Frank P. Baker termed “unexcusabe failure on their part to obtain evidence” in the rase of William Harringion. Harrington was acquitted by a criminal court jury on a liquor transportation charge. Baker to Attend Hearing Judge Baker and the three police officers also will be asked to attend the hearing, Charles R. Myers, afety board president, stated. Cameron, who first heard the case, dismissed other charges, including speeding, against Harrington and sent the case to the grand jury on the transporting charge. The case was brought to attention of police and the safety board members from Baker, who asked for an investigation March 17. It was alleged there was a change of evidence between what the police officers, acob Hudgins, Dulin Judd and Alexander Dunwoody, told prosecutors and what they testified on cross-examination in criminal court, regarding alcohol possessed by Harrington. Probably Made Mistake With the alcohol destroyed, the court was unable to prove that it was the type “for beverage purposes.” “As I understand it, Cameron’s only defense is that he probably made a mistake in ordering the alcohol destroyed,” Kinney said. Cameron said today: “They tell me I wrote an order directing destruction of this particular liquor, ff I did, it would be oversight due to the fact that the liquor was not kept in a locker designated for such cases.” Police officials stated it is their practice to keep all liquor for evidence until it is ordered destroyed by the court. ‘Could Be Reopened’ In regard to dismissal of the speeding charge against Harrington, who is alleged by police to have driven sixty miles an hour in a chase preceding the arrest, Cameron said: “These other charges which were dismissed could have been reopened by the grand jury should it have desired.” Cameron further stated that “she officer’s testimony, under supreme court rulings, that the can contained alcohol, is sufficient and the court can take judicial knowledge of the fact that it was intoxicating.” Baltzell Overrules Motion Motion to suppress evidence in the case of Leo Walsh, 26South Delaware street, charged with liquor violation, because of search and discovery of liquor by police without a search warrant was overruled by Federal Judge Robert C. Baltzell today. Evidence was presented to show that police officers, without a search warrant, entered Walsh’s apartment and discovered liquor. A federal dry agent was called and Walsh was arrested on a federal arrest warrant. Walsh was sentenced to six months in jail. Peter Dailey, 344 North Pine street, was convicted of nuisance in operation of a lunchroom at 453 West Washington street, where a liquor raid was conducted in December. He was sentenced to fortyfive days in jail. James Demetroulos and Elmer Kelley, same address, pleaded guilty in the same case, Demetroulos being fined S3OO and sentenced to ninety days in jail, and Kelley sentenced to thirty days. Emanuel Lorlan, 618 East Market street, charged with liquor violation in a room at 610 la East Washington street, a building owned by Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan and Frank Ross, was found guilty and sentenced to six months in jail. MRS. HOOVER KNOWS HER RADIO ‘MIKES’! Makes It Clear to Broadcast Experts She Is No Novice. By United Press WASHINGTON, March 24.—Mrs. Herbert Hoover, known to her fellow Girl SCouts as Big Buffalo, discussed their work in connection with unemployment relief Monday night over the radio. Participating in a nation-wide broadcast, arranged by the women’s division of the President's emergency employment committee, she made it clear to the radio experts present at the White House for the occasion that she knew a thing or two about broadcasting. When they proceeded to instruct her in the matter of facing the “mike,” speaking steadily and keeping her voice up, she said: "Suppose I just talk the way the President does—then it will no doubt be all right.” Before the microphone she betrayed no nervousness, a result, it was understood, of her four previous radio appearances.

Mrs. Cole to Trial on Charge of Plotting Husband's Death

By Time * Special RUSHVILLE, Ind., March 24. Displaying little concern, Mrs. Marie Cole, 25, of Indianapolis, charged with being an accessory to her husband's murder, watched state’s attorneys in Rush circuit court today accept tentatively a jury avowedly not averse to infliction of the death penalty. Attired in black, the woman who is accused of having put her husband, Raymond I. Cole. “on the spot” on a lonely 'ane near Greenfield last Hallcu .en, sat almost motionless as the first morning of her trial passed before Rush Circuit Judge John A. Titsworth. 12 Tentatively Accepted Her counsel this afternoon was to begin questioning of the twelve veniremen tentatively accepted by the state in the course of the morning. The twelvq; Elmer Porter, Jackson township; Fred Shubert, Mays; Fred Pike, Richland township; John Semour, Richland township; Clyde Aichey, Miiroy; T. T. Beher, Center township; B. B. Staples, Richland; Blaine Reeves, Noble township; Clarence Tevis, Orange township; Ed Newby, Richland township; Albert Gahiner, Walker, and Otis Gwinnin, Richland township. Reeves and Newby are barbers, the others farmers. Seven veniremen were rejected this morning because of their aversion to the death penalty. Kiplinger Defense Counsel John H. Kiplinger, Rushville, and J. Herbert Hartman and Lewis F. Pomush, both of Indianapolis, comprise the defense counsel. State’s attorneys are Albert C. Stevens, Rush county prosecutor; W. E. Bussell, Hancock county prosecutor, and Bussell’s assistant, Milo Gray.

By United Press CLEVELAND, March 24.—Selection of a jury to try Pittsburgh Hymie Martin, charged with the murder of William E. Potter, former city councilman and Republican leader, proved difficult today as one after another venireman was excused on peremptory challenges. In contrast to yesterday’s opening session when eleven prospective jurors had been accepted, this morning’s proceedings added none to the list. Many indicated fear and nervousness in being selected, Bailiff Frank Boltz said. The situation drew a sharp question from Judge Walter McMahon after they had professed an opposition to capital punishment, circumstantial evidence or a set opinion. “Is that an honest opinion, or just one recently formed?” he demanded.

STATE TO ANSWER STEPHENSON PLEA

Ogden Soon Will Prepare Reply to Petition Filed for New Trial. Answer to the coram nobis petition of D. C. Stephenson, former Indiana Klan leader, in which he seeks anew trial on a charge of murdering Miss Madge Oberholtzer, Indianapolis woman, will be prepared soon by the state, AttorneyGeneral James M. Ogden said today. The petition was filed by Stephenson’s attorneys with Circuit Judge Fred E. Hines at Noblesville late Monday. It alleged that, due to errors in his trial in November, 1925, upon which conviction he is serving life imprisonment in the Indiana state prison, the former Klan head is entitled to anew trial at Noblesville. Hines indicated that hearing on the petition probably will be held during the term of court which opens April 7. Ogden today indicated that Charles Werner, deputy, will prepare the answer to Stephenson’s plea. Several similar petitions, some of them written by Stepehnson, have been filed previously. A coram nobis petition filed with the Indiana supreme court, several months ago, contained like allegations and all of these were stricken out except the charge that the former klan leader did not receive a fair trial because of purported threats of mob violence.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Cole to a lonely spot and kill him, marked Jordan's trial. Jordan, an employe of an Indianapolis steel mill and the father of two children, was enmeshed by state’s attorneys in a network of evidence circumstantially establishing his guilt to the crime. Cole—unsuspecting of the plot, according to witnesses—drove with Mrs. Cole to the creekside lane last Oct. 31, to meet Jordan. Cole’s body was found the next morning by hunters. Three shots had penetrated the body. • State’s evidence included three purported confessions of Jordan, each of which told a different story to circumstances of the death meeting. From the witness stand, Jordan told a jury that he was near the scene of the shooting but did not take part in it. He arrived at the death spot to find Cole dead and Mrs. Cole prostrated with grief, he testified.

Mrs. Cole’s purported confession, read against Jordan, told of the woman’s desire to “show herself more of a woman than ycu (Jordan) are a man.” She admitted the murder plot, Greenfield authorities declare. Mrs. Cole and Jordan, under accusations of the murder at the Greenfield jail, continued to nourish the tragic love for which Cole paid with his life. At Jordan’s trial, witnesses testified that Cole owned the gun which was found after the killing in a nearby field. Jordan denied its ownership. No hint was given as to Mrs. Cole’s defense. Attorneys ind icated impaneling of a juiy might require at least a week.

PORTO RICANS CHEER HOOVER PROGRESS PLEA Make Economic Steps the ‘Bulwark of Liberty,’ President Says. BY RAYMOND CLAPPER United Press Staff Correspondent SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, March 24.—Economic advancement can be made the “bulwark of liberty and freedom itself,” President Hoover told the people of Porto Rico this morning, delivering his formal speech here before the legislature after a brief visit to the island’s largest city .and just before returning to Ponce, to embark on the battleship Arizona for the Virgin islands. “We wish to see every Porto Rican with the same opportunities in life to which we believe every American is entitled,” he said. “Economic advancement is not necessarily the foundation of moral and spiritual advancement, but it can be made so if we so conduct our institutions that prosperity shall be diffused among all our citizens. “If we use its surplus to advance the cultural, the moral and spiritual welfare of our people, then economic advancement serves not along these purposes, but. becomes the bulwark of liberty and freedom itself.” Praises Governor Roosevelt The President praised the accomplishments of the Porto Rican people, noting the hardships inflicted by the recent disastrous hurricane and spoke words of encouragement. He praised highly the work of Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, Governor of Porto Rico." “Our nation is proud of the progress made by the people of Porto Rico. Endowed with liberty, freedom, with self-government and individual opportunity through incorporation under the American flag, the island, by the efforts of its citizens and the co-operation of the whole United States, in a single generation has emerged from stagnation to a high place in the march of progress. Illiteracy Is Decreased “You have in this single generation, since joining in our citizenship, increased more than 60 per cent in population, increased over 500 per cent in material wealth and over 800 per cent in attendance upon public schools. You have decreased illiteracy by almost 50 per cent and the death rate has been diminished by more than 60 per cent. Crowds were massed on the steps of the capitol and in the plaza at dawn to be sure of hearing the farewell address. It was a, gay throng, bent on showing anew the tremendous enthusiasm with which they greeted the President Monday. Roosevelt told correspondents that the reception was bigger than the greeting given Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh on his visit here. Roosevelt introduced the President to the throng as “Muy Simpatico,” a complimentary Spanish phrase, which practically defies exact translation into English. Called “Regular Fellow” The governor meant Mr. Hoover was sympathetic and understanding and a “regular fellow” with it all. The crowd understood and cheered loudly. “What we hope to see In Porto Rico is the developing of it as a connecting link between the Americas,” Roosevelt said. “First, I am trying to persuade industries needing men for Latin American countries to use Porto Ricans. They are American citizens, but Latin, and understand the little niceties which are important in the end. The American has to learn them, while the Porto Rican has them naturally and is much better fitted for South American service.” Roosevelt told correspondents that unquestionably the United States had mismanaged some of her insular possessions in the past, and that it was necessary to work slowly toward better methods. It is known, however, that the administration has no plans for a change in the island’s status. The reception at the Pink palace Monday night was one o*. the most colorful this city has known. Governor Roosevelt was host.

Borden of the South Bend schools. Members of the state board of education constituted the textbook commission. They met Monday to consider the bids received last January, upon which action was delayed until after the legislative session.

KNOX COAL CO. RECEIVER PLEA GIVENJEARING Federal Referee Defers Ruling; Unpaid Interest, Bonds Charged. Petition for appointment of a receiver in bankruptcy for the Knox Consolidated Coal Company, to conserve assets of the company until selection of a trustee by creditors April 8, was heard today by Carl Wilde, referee in bankruptcy.

Logsdon, deposed as state court receiver last week when Martin Lowish was named as his successor by Superior Judge Joseph R Williams. Seen as Retaliation The bankruptcy action was seen as retaliation by Logsdon, president of the company, for his removal as receiver. The bankruptcy petition stated that since appointment of Lowish, bonds and interest amounting to more than $1,000,000 have become due and unpaid. Hearing of the petition in federal court marked another milestone in the prolonged legal journey the case has taken since thrown into courts.

Hay issued an inj:*~ctt<y' prohibiting union miners from interfering with other union miners who chose to work in the mines at less | than the union wage scale. This ; angle of the case was prominent in the 1930 Marion county elections, when Williams indicated opposition to the injunction as candidate to succeed Hay.
