NOTRE DAME IS GRIEF-STRICKEN BY AIR TRAGEDY Tribute Paid to Beloved Football Mentor by 3,000 Students. <Continued From Pa gt 1) mor that gripped the campus at noon, the students, priests and faculty were In a stupor. In small groups, students stood dent, their conversation limited to snatches of sorrow for which they found no adequate expression 'Throughout the afternoon they filed into the big church for individual prayers for the man who almost was a god to them. Mid-semester examinations were postponed and classes dismissed until Wednesday. Funeral Rites Not Set Funeral arrangements have been set tentatively for Monday. The mass at dawn was the reply of the students to a petition of Mrs. Rockne, who telephoned the Rev. Charles L. O’Donnell, C. S. C., president of the university, to intrust to him all arrangements for last rites for the coach. ‘And will the students pray for him. Father?” she pleaded. From the study in which he sat at the phone, Father O’Donnell looked across the main quadrangle to the church doorway. All pathways led there, and on them lines of students were walking slowly to pray. Father O’Donnell described the scene, and she was comforted. Contrast to Other Gatherings The gathering of 3,000 young men in the church this morning was the ultimate contrast to the old cheer with which they greeted Rock in the past. It was the growling cheer, “R-R-R-R-Rockne,” barked beligerently across the tumult of the football arena, replaced today with the chant of dirges, the mournful song of heavily intoned prayers. An escort named by Father O’Donnell today was on its way to meet the remains and bring them back to South Bend. It includes the Rev. Michael Mulcaire, Assistant Coaches Heartley Anderson and Jack Chevigny, and Howard Edwards. They will arrive with the body tonight. University Is Stunned "Nothing that has ever happened at Notre Dame has so shocked the faculty and student body as the tragic news that came at noon Tuesday of the accident which took Mr. Rockne’s life.” said Father O’Donnell, in a formal statement. “To every person at Notre Dame this is a personal grief as it would be if a member of his own family died. Everybody was proud of Rockne, everyboy admired him, but something far more than that, we loved him. “My own friendship with him extends over the past twenty years, when I first was assigned to Notre Dame after my ordination. Rockne was a student in Corby hall, where I was a prefect. Civic Tribute Planned “The friendship then rormed has remained unbroken, and will always be for me one of the fairest memories of life. Our hearts go out in loving sympathy to Mrs. Rockne and to his children. All the students will receive holy communion for the repose of his soul.” Special meeting of the South Bend city council today was called to plan a civic tribute to Rockne. Mayor William Hinkle ordered all flags in the city lowered to halfstaff. Business virtually ceased Tuesday when first news of his death was received. Posthumous Book Likely Possibility of a posthumous book on football by Knute Rockne. Notre Dame gridiron mentor, who died in a plane crash in Kansas Tuesday, was admitted here today by officials of The Bobbs-Merrill Company, publishers. Manuscript on the book was to have been delivered to the publishers May 1, and only recently a letter from Rockne assured the firm it would be ready on time. Rockne for several years has driven himself ferociously, writing articles and stories on the sport in which he achieved fame, lecturing, coaching, and building up business connections. “We are praying the manuscript is sufficiently completed for publication,” said D. Lawrence Chambers, vice-president of the firm, today. Untitled, based somewhat on previous articles on football, the ! book was to have been about 75,000 i words in length.

Straight Down By United Press COTTONWOOD FALLS. Kan., April 1. Four men working on the farm of Seward Baker witnessed the dive of the giant Fokker airplane carrying Knute Rockne and seven other persons to their death. Edward and Arthur Baker, R. C. Blackburn and Clarence H. McCracken told of the fatal plunge. Baker’s story, substantiated by the others, ran: "I heard the plane, and saw it shoot through the clouds, which probably were less than 1,000 feet from the earth. The nose was pointing straight downward. It struck with a crash that could be heard for a long way. “The motors were buried two feet and more. The cabin was crushed and broken, and bits of wreckage were scattered all around. A minute later a wing came floating down and landed a quarter of a mile away."

LINGLE TRIAL IS NEAR END Leo Brothers Is Confident of Acquittal. By United Press CHICAGO, April I.—Confident of acquittal, Leo V. Brothers entered the thirteenth day of his trial today with the expressed hope that the jury might begin to deliberate his guilt or innocence of the murder of Alfred J. Lingle, Chicago Tribune reporter, by nightfall. The possibility appeared remote that the case would reach the jury before Thursday, but Brothers was impatient and demanded more of the speed which enabled his attorneys to open and close his defense Tuesday. “I wanted to go on the stand,” he said, “but my attorneys said it wasn’t necessary, so now I’m hoping they’ll hurry and get it over with, because I’m certain the jury can’t do anything but acquit me. I hope to be back in St. Louis before the week is ended.” Rebuttal evidence, closing arguments and Judge Joseph Sabath’s charge remained before the jury retires. Defense attorneys said they would need only three hours for argument. The defense consisted of eight witnesses who testified that Brothers was not Lingle’s slayer. COUPLE~PARK; ROBBED Gunmen Take Wrist Watch, Money in Rolling Ridge Lane. Frank Welsh of Coal City and Miss Helen Beesley, 4459 College avenue, reported to police that they were robbed by two gunmen Tuesday night while parked on Rolling Ridge lane, northwest of the city. The gunmen obtained a wrist watch valued at S4O and $3 from Welsh and $1 from Miss Beesley, police were informed. rothroclTreappointed Indiana U. Dean Again Named for Conservation Department.

CUTS SILK HOSE BILLS IN TWO A New York fashion expert has found a simple, easy method to double the wear of silk hose and undergarments. These articles, worn next to the skin, wear out doubly fast because of the perspiration and other body excretions which soften and rot the silk. This lady found that soap and water were inadequate for washing such articles. She recommends when washing silks to add a tablespoonful of Energine to every quart of lukewarm, soapy water. Wash and rinse as usual. This method not only cleans thoroughly and quickly but makes silks like new with revived colors and pleasing freshness. The difference m results over the use of soap and water alone will amaze you. It means longer life—real economy. Energine is unexcelled also for qufckly removing all dirt and grease spots from dresses, hats, gloves and ties. Large can 35 cents at any drug store.—Advertisement.

CLEAR COPS OF BACKING DOWN IN RUMCASES Safety Board Decides There Is No Evidence Against Three Men. Three policemen today stood cleared of charges of “weakening” in their testimony in criminal court in a liquor case, as result of action taken by the safety board following a hearing Tuesday. Charles R. Meyers, president, and Donald S. Morris, board memoer, who presided at the hearing, decided there was no evidence the officers “backed down” in their testimony on nature of a gallon of alcohol found in the car of William Harrington a year ago. Harrington was acquitted by a jury of liquor charges recently when the three officers, Jacob Hudgins, Dulin Judd and Alexander Dunwoody, admitted on cross-examina-tion they did not know if alcohol in the case “was the kind for beverage purposes.” The liquor had been dumped on an order signed by Municipal Judge Clifton B. Cameron. The board decided the order came as result of confusion over dismissing a “blind tiger’’ case against Harrington. Bernard Kelly, city hall custodian, an uncle of Harrington, told the board he had not known of the case until he read of it in the newspapers and that he had not approached any officials or police officers to aid Harrington. The investigation was started when Criminal Judge Frank P. Baker, after the trial, wrote a letter to the board criticising the officers and recommending an investigation of their testimony. SMASH STORE WINDOW Thieves Get Two Rifles, Shotgun at Lincoln Loan Company. Police who answered a burglar alarm at 201 West Washington street early today found the window of the Lincoln Loan Company smashed with a brick. Two rifles and a shotgun, valued at $45, were missing. Berald Bymeister, attendant at a filling station across the street, said he saw a truck speed away from that vicinity, south on Capitol avenue.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Traps Killer

Fictional amateur detectives have nothing on Joseph Hunsacker, 30, above, truck driver of Green City, Mo., who was responsible for the capture of Fred Burke, known as “the most dangerous man alive,” accused of the St. Valentine day massacre in Chicago and the murder of a St. Joseph, Mich., policeman. The small town sleuth was able to identify Burke after reading a detective story magazine containing his picture.

COPS TRIAL IS SET Patrolman Carter to Face Duty Neglect Charge. Charges of neglect of duty filed by Police Chief Jerry Kinney against patrolman Elzie O. Carter will be heard by the safety board April 14. Kinney charged that on May 24, Carter, while off duty, was riding in a car, the driver of which was intoxicated and crashed into a cement safety zone. It was alleged the driver escaped and Carter failed to make an arrest or report the matter until questioned later. The board ordered purchase of 50,000 traffic stickers for the police department, Tuesday. Automatic retirement of Lewis M. Moore, chauffeur for Water Tower Company 13, because of age, recommended by Fire Chief Harry E. Voshell, was approved. The board refused petition of H. R. Springsteen, city market master, for permission to use Delaware street from Market to Washington streets for market stands.

CONVICTION IN ILLICIT LOVE CASE REVERSED Hoosiers Answer Only to Consciences in Breaking Seventh Commandment. Sins of the Seventh Commandment are punishable by conscience only and not oy statute in Indiana, the supreme court ruled Tuesday in reversing an Allen county appeal of a couple arrested in a Ft. Wayne hotel raid. The opinion, written by Judge Clarence B. Martin, cites numerous former decisions whereby it has always been held that the law providing a $500 maximum fine and six months maximum imprisonment for illicit “romances” does not apply to “occasional, transient interviews,” but only where unmarried persons have been living together as man and wife. In the Ft. Wayne raid two couples were arrested under identical circumstances. Both were found guilty and appeals were taken to the appellate court under the misdemeanor statute. One case was reversed and the other affirmed. The affirmed case, that of Robert Warner and Lucille Dean, was appealed to the supreme court and reversed Tuesday. Pointing out that persons actually must live together before being liable to prosecution under the Indiana law, the opinion declared: “The design of this law is not to affix a penalty for the violation of the Seventh Commandment, but to punish those who, without lawful marriage, live together in the manner of husband and wife.” In conclusion it is cited that the “living together” need not be “open and notorious” to make the parties liable, but that there must be “complete proof of crime.” DISHWATER ANALYZED; TWO GET RUM TERMS When dishwater contains 3.92 per cent alcohol, there’s been a bottle in the kitchen! Municipal Judge Paul C. Wetter reasoned that way Tuesday when he sentenced Charles Scott, 66, of 1545 South Reissner street, and Walter Galloway, 35, of 1441 Kappes street, to thirty days each on the state penal farm and fined them $100 each. Sergeant Leo Landers said he entered Scott’s house with a search warrant Friday in time to see Galloway pour a quantity of alcohol into the dishpan. Anaylsis of the water revealed the high alcoholic content, according to city chemists.
