Fantastic Andean Expedition Returns to U. S. With Almost a Whole Circus.

By United Pres* NEW YORK, April 28.—The University of Syracuse Andean expedition got back from the jungles dl Venezuela today with a native boy who wants to be President of the United States, a Boy Scout who wants to do fifteen successive daily good turns, fifteen suspected parrots, a fish with two mouths, a wild rat that fights like a dog—and various other attractions. The expedition, headed by Dr. Parke H. Struthers, zoologist at the university, consisted of nine members, and the first of the several hundred specimens brought back from the Andes on the steamer Caracus today was Pedro Fernando Rodon, a 12-year-old native boy. He worked hand in hand with the expedition and endeared himself to Dr. William Reed, who will get him a tutor and put him through school and college. Pedro Fernando was described as intelligent, and constantly expresses the desire to become President of the United States. a tt WHEN the health officers boarded the Caras at quarantine and found fifteen parrots they anftounced the birds would have to undergo fifteen days of quarantine at Hoffman’s island. Further, they said, someone would have to stay with the parrots during tire confinement. But all members of the expedition, having been away from home since last December, wanted to get back to Syracuse and no one offered to play chaperon to the birds. Finally, John Enifiejian, a Syracuse Boy Scout, who accompanied the expedition, said he would do fifteen good turns daily and take care of the birds on the island. He was given the job. u a THE queer fish brought back from the Andes is called a gianoid and has overlapping plates instead of scales. It is the oldest known specie of fish, Dr. Struthers said, and is equipped with two mouths. One of these is used for eating and the other for hanging on to rocks. These fish inhabit a river near Lake Maracaibo, and the water often reaches a speed of fifty miles an hour. If the gianoid were swept on into the ocean, he would die of salt water, it is said, so nature has given him the extra mouth. He creates a, vacuum of sufficient strength to cling to rocks when the water is flowing swiftly. The ferocious wild rat is known as a pecuri, weighs about six pounds and will attack a human being upon little or no provocation. u tt tt THE expedition brought back fifteen monkeys, one of which appears only at night, has a face like a cat, a. monkey tail and feet like a raccoon. In one native village, the expedition encountered a race of Indians most of whom suffer from goiter. They became afflicted several generations ago, they said, and attributed the disease to a certain tree in tire village. The tree was cut down with great civic vehemence about fifty years ago and since then the goiter has been gradually dying out, it was claimed.

YOUTH AGAIN TO FACE GIN DEATH TRIAL ■ Virgil Kirkland’s Life Will Be at Stake; Hearings Open Wednesday, VENIRE V OF 60 CALLED Chicago Lawyers May Drop Out of Case, as Result of Friction. By Time* Special VALPARAISO, Ind.. April 28. From a venire of fifty-nine men and one woman, defense counsel and the state Wednesday will begin selection of a jury to try Virgil Kirkland for the second time in Porter circuit court as the murderer of Arlene Draves. Episodes of a gin party in Gary last fall, during which the state charges the girl was attacked by Kirkland and four companions with fatal results, were resurrected by Kirkland’s attorneys after the first trial concluded, with life imprisonment imposed on the youth. The other four men yet are to be tried. Leon Stanford will be first, on plea of his counsel, who say the weakest of the state’s cases is against their client.

Trial Set for June 15 Trial date for Stanford is June 15, in the same court, set by Judge Harry Crumpacker over protest of the prosecution, which wished to bring David Thompson, in whose home the party was held, to trial as soon as possible after Kirkland’s second hearing. The trial which begins Wednesday morning means death or freedom for the former high school football star accused by the state. Formerly he was charged with murder in lesser degrees, but when his attorneys petitioned for anew trial, Prosecutor John Underwood dismissed all but the charge of murder by criminal assault, which by Indiana statute makes mandatory the death penalty upon conviction. The jury that tried Kirkland late in February voted on its first ballot 11 to 1 for conviction on that charge, the foreman holding out because of Kirkland’s youth. He is 20. Attorney’s Father Is Judge On the bench Wednesday will be Judge Grant Crumpacker, uncle oi the judge who will preside at Stanford’s trial, and father of John Crumpacker, one of the defense attorneys.

With Crumpacker, defending Kirkland, will be Oscar B. Thiel of Gary. Whether Barrett O’Hara, noted Chicago criminal attorney, and Richard Oldham, also a famed Chicago attorney, will represent the boy, is not determined. Prejudice he!*e against the Chicago lawyers and friction between them and the Indiana defense attorneys, may lead to their withdrawal from the case, despite wishes of Kirkland’s parents that they carry on defense of the boy. Prosecutor Has Aids Building evidence by which the state expects to send Kirkland to the electric chair will be Prosecutor Underwood, Robert Estill of Crown Point; his deputy, Floyd Vance, and E. J. Freund, a Valparaiso lawyer, retained as special prosecutor. Trials of Thompson, Paul Barton and Harry Shirk, the others indicted on the murder charges, will follow that of Stanford this summer.

ROOSEVELT RULES CHARGES AGAINST WALKER BASELESS % By United Pres* ALBANY, N. Y., April 28.—Governor Franklin Roosevelt today dismissed charges of misfeasance against Mayor Jimmy Walker of New York, upon which the city affairs committee based a petition for his removal. The Governor, in mtmorandum, held that the charges did not show sufficient reason for removing the mayor, against whom ten counts were cited. The Governor said the charges were so general in character and referred so generally to subordinates of the mayor, that he did not find sufficient cause for removal. To do so, he said, might defeat the intentions of the electorate. It ever has been a fundamental principle of our government that the

people of the state and of our various communities shall be allowed to exercise without restriction their right to select whomsoever they see fit to fill elective offices,” said the Governor’s memorandum. “The greatest caution therefore must be used in the exercise either of the impeachment power by the legislature or the removal power by the Governor, in order not to annul the deliberate decision of the voters of the state or of any municipality thereof. “Otherwise, precedent might be established by which the will of the electorate might be set aside for partisan advantage or for personal advantage on the part of a legisla-

tive majority or an unscrupulous Governor. I have given the charges and the reply my most earnest consideration, keeping always in mind the principles above set forth which must guide a Governor in his decision. “I do not find sufficient justification in these documents as submitted to remove the mayor of the city or New York or to proceed further in the matter of these charges.” Samuel I. Rosenman, the Governor’s personal counsel, advised Dr. John Haynes Holmes and Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, chairman and vicechairman of the city affairs committee, respectively, of the Governor’s decision. Holmes and Wise filed the charges.

Seventh District Posts Are Advised to ‘Tend to Own Business/ By United Press VINCENNES, Ind., April 28. Floyd L. Young, Indiana department commander of the American Legion, absolved the Legion of ail responsibility today in the controversy over De Pauw university. Post and district commanders, Young stated, have authority to make statements touching only their own posts or districts. “The American Legion of Indiana is making no investigation of Dr. Oxnam ” Young’s statement said, "and has taken no action against him.’Internal strhe among Hoosier Legionnaires loomed today over the proposed probe of De Pauw university’s patriotic purity, launched by officials of the Seventh district of the American Legion, made up of Marion county posts. W. S. Donner, Greencastle, commander of .the Fifth Legion district, came to Indianapolis Monday afternoon and informed Dr. Frank E. Long, Seventh district commander, that he considered De Pauw matters “none of the Seventh district’s business.” Simultaneously, Robert Hoffman, commander of the Greencastle Legion post, denounced the Seventh district organization’s action as “unwarranted, unwise and detrimental to the name and welfare of the American Legion. Hoffman called upon Floyd L. Young, Vincennes, state commander, to order the Seventh district to disband its investigating committee and obtain “positive proof of Evans’ statements before giving the legion connection to any publicity. If “positive proof” is unearthed to warrant an investigation, then, Hoffman suggests, the state commander should foster it, not district officials. Protest also was launched by Edward G. Schaub, state commander of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, who termed the legion’s proposed investigation “unpatriotic and unAmerican.” Oxnam Is Target Target of the probe is Dr. G. Bromley Oxnam, De Pauw president, accused by William P. Evans, Indianapolis Insull attorney, of fostering subversive doctrines in De Pauw lectures on “Sex, Sovietism and Socialism.” De Pauw is a Methodist school and Dr. Oxnam a Methodist minister. He was upheld staunchly in his administration and praised as man and minister In resolutions adopted by Indianapolis Methodist ministers Monday. “I feel that the American Legion has no more right to investigate De Pauw than the Methodist church has a right to investigate the American Legion,” Donner declared today. Calls Charges Baseless “Should the matter be within the province of the legion, it would seem that due courtesy wouid place the affair in the hands of the Fifth district, where the school is located. “I am personally familiar with those lectures which were criticised and know that the charges made are without foundation.” Donner declared that he was told by Dr. Long that ‘since we have started, we must go through with it.” Long said the reason the Seventh district legion took the matter up was because Evans’ speech was made here, Donner explained. Meeting of the probe committee is to be held soon. EDUCATOR'S WIFE DEAD Mrs. David Kinley Succumbs in China to Smallpox Complications. By United Press SHANGHAI, China, April 28.

HIGH SOCIETY LINK HINTED IN CITY SUICIDE Mystery Woman Talked of ‘Comedown’ in Life, Says Former Employer. WORKED AS DOMESTIC Coroner Continues Search for Solution, With Meager Clews. Working in an atmosphere of mystery, romance and perhaps mania, Coroner Fred W. Vehiing today bent again to solution of the suicide of a woman in her apartment at 2010 North Meridian street Saturday. Whether the woman, identified tentatively as Miss Lillian Wilmer, alias Sawyer, was connected with a prominent eastern family, as she hinted to a family for which she worked last summer, or afflicted with a mental disease that gave rise to illusions of mystery and glamour, the coroner does not know. Today he is running down another clew taken from a cryptic message in code she left in her suitcase, and connected with a key, probably to a safety box somewhere, which the coroner found among her possessions. Bank Is Questioned He will query officials of the Foreman State National bank, in Chicago, to determine whether a safety box is rented there under any of the names appearing in the strange message. Vehiing said he received an anonymous phone call today from a woman who professed to know the suicide victim. She said the woman had come to her house recently and applied for a position as nurse. The woman gave Vehiing the name of another woman, who, she said, lived on North Illinois street, and said he “would find out plenty about it.” The name given Vehiing does not appear in the city directory. Deduction that the box may be in that institution came from the initial work of the message, when decoded: “FOREMSTATE.” Names in the message were “Isabel McKenzie, Albertson and McKee.” Another name, “Dearborn,” the coroner said, may be a clew to the bank, telephone number of which is Dearborn 7700. Identification of Miss Wilmer was made late Monday by Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Bloemker, for whom the woman worked three months as a domestic servant. Bloemker, who lives at 1440 Central avenue, is a deputy county surveyor. However, today Mrs. Bloemker told The Times she still was a little uncertain as to whether the dead woman was the Miss Sawyer who worked for her last summer

Roosevelt

Bemoaned Her State Mrs. Bloemker said the woman applied for work after having been sent to her home by the Y. W. C. A. employment service. She called herself Lillian Sawyer. Miss Sawyer frequently bemoaned her state, Mrs. Bloemker said, often with the declaration that for “nothing in the world would I let my family know what I have come to.” Her conversation was filled with allusions to social life of Baltimore and Washington, and she told Mrs. Bloemker she was a member of a prominent Baltimore family. % When Van Lear Black, wealthy Baltimore publisher, fell from his private yacht and was frowned Aug. 20, Miss Sawyer told Mrs. Bloemker she knew Black well and had been on his yacht several times. Talked of Capital Society Constantly she talked of political and social life in Washington, speaking of “the senator,” but never elaborating on the man, or offering any clews to her connection with him, according to Mrs. Bloem* ker. She wore clothing that apparently was expensive, but well worn. Her diction was cultured, but she drank frequently, Mrs. Bloemker told the coroner. Several times she spoke of divorce proceedings, and always was waiting for money to be sent to her, Mrs. Bloemker said. After she left the Bloemker home, nothing was heard from her until she phoned Mrs. Bloemker after Jan. 1 to say she was employed as a nursemaid on the north side. Well Supplied With Money Coroner Vehling tried Monday to identify the key by numbers on it, but the key manufacturing company in Chicago said the numbers were merely a mechanical detail. When found in her gas-filled apartment Saturday, Miss Wilmer had $225 pinned in her clothing, and S4OO in a downtown bank, in which she opened the account only the day preceding her suicide.

Y., April 28. —The king and queen of Siam and members of their party left here today on their official journey to Washington, where they are to be received by President and Mrs. Hoover. They left on a four-car special train, which will pass through New York City, traveling in tubes beneath Manhattan and into New Jersey, and will arrive in Washington about 6 p. m. Mourning for Prince Chanbaburi, the king’s half-brother, who died in Paris Monday, will last for a month in Siam by the king’s order. In its American observance members of the party will be clad in black, save for their linen, and Americans attached to the household will wear black armbands. All members of the party will be permitted to play golf, tennis, walk or motor, but they are not to attend receptions, balls or other social affairs unless the king suspends mourning.

Suspension in Force Now . Such a suspension is now in force, on the occasion of the Washington visit, and another will be declared in force next Saturday for the public reception at White Plains. Upon reaching Washington, the royal party will go directly from the train to the home of Lars Anderson, former ambassador to Siam. Their majesties have been incognito since their arrival at Mrs. Whitelaw Reid’s estate, Ophir Hall. They did not drop the titles of prince and princess until today, when they took their regal titles in honor of their visit to Washington.

DIRIGIBLE PLOT SUSPECTFREED Ohio Syndicalism Law Held Unconstitutional, By United Press AKRON, 0., April 23.—The Ohio syndicalism laws, under which Paul F. Kassey is charged with a plot to wreck the United States naval dirigible Akron, were declared unconstitutional today by Common Pleas Judge Walter Wanamaker. The ruling, handed down as Kassey was prepared to go on trial, freed the young Hungarian rivet inspector, who has been held since his arrest on March 19 by federal department of justice agents. George Hargreaves, assistant county prosecutor, said the decision will be appealed to the state 1 supreme court. . Judge Wanamaker, a newcomer on the common pleas bench, is a veteran of the World war. He was the first American aviator shot down behind the German lines. The blond 37-year-old defendant was elated at his release. “It justifies my belief in the American Constitution and its principles of free speech and free assemblage,” Kassey said. “It confirms the belief I had when I took out my second naturalization papers that it was to become a citizen of a country where the principles of freedom were upheld.” So far as could be learned here, Judge Wanamaker was the first Ohio jurist to rule directly upon the validity of the syndicalism law, which was passed in 1919, during the so-called reactionary period

LESLIE STORY DISPUTED BY HOUSE CLERK Dick Heller Declares That Governor Said He ‘Didn’t Want to Return Bill/ PLOT CHARGES SIFTED Grand Jury Hears Evidence in Conspiracy Case on Bus Measure, Details of the mixup over passage of House Bill 6 in the waning hours of Indiana’s 1931 legislature were related in a conference with Oscar Hagemeir, deputy grand jury prosecutor, today by Dick Heller, clerk of the house of representatives. Heller appeared at the courthouse purposely to talk before the grand jury this morning, but did not because Hagemeir wished to confer with Prosecutor Herbert E. Wilson first, it was learned. Simultaneously, representatives of the attorney-general's office prepared an answer to the circuit court suits in which it is charged the bill was mutilated and passed by alleged conspirators in the period of confusion that marks the closing of an assembly session. Herbert Spencer, assitant city attorney, end Representative Jacob Weiss (Dem., Marion), testified today before the grand jury. Heller, before conferring with Hagemeier, related a story that, is contradictory to that told by Governor Harry G. Leslie Monday before Leslie testified Disputes Leslie's Word

Leslie said he never had refused to return a bill to the legislative bodies. But Heller declared Leslie told him he “did not like to return a bill with my signature on it.” The jury probe is based on suits filed in circuit court by Muncie and Indianapolis, in which an injunction is sought to prevent Frank Mayr Jr., secretary of state, from publishing the 1931 acts, because of the alleged conspiracy and fraud in passage of the motor and truck bill. The state’s prepared demurrer j and answer deny existence of thp I alleged conspiracy, pointing out that i it is May T’s duty to publish the acts ! and he ban not go behind the pass- ! age and signing of the enrolled bill. Commission Given Control It also is set out that prohibition of the publication of 112 acts without emergency clauses would not make the truck law valid and it would come to a real test in fact., only after the commission had issued an order. The bill, as it stands, vests all l authority of bus and truck control I with the public service commission. The original bill, it is alleged, contained the provision for municipalities to control bus and truck operations in cities and towns. It is charged the alleged conspirators had this section removed. Heller said after enrollment of the | bill he received a message from the I senate asking recall of the bill, so a ’ correction might be made. RepreI sentative Russell J. Dean (Dem., I Marion), witness Monday before the ! grand jury, made a motion and j Heller went to Leslie's office, he ; said. Leslie’s Mentor Present Heller said he was admitted and Leslie was in company with Henry Marshall, Lafayette publisher and mentor of Leslie, and another man, who, it is reported, was Charles W, Chase, Insull utility representative. When Heller told Leslie he knew ! nothing of the bill, Heller said Leslie asked: “Has Dean any particular interest, in the bill?” Heller said he told Leslie he believed Dean only had been asked to move for the recall Heller said Leslie picked up several bills, asserting: “I have signed these bills and House Bill 6 is among them. I don’t like very well to send a bill back with my signature on it.” Wanted to Consult Dean “ ‘lf Dean really wants this recalled, I’d like to talk to him about it down here,’ ” Keller said Leslie declared. According to Heller, he told the Governor that he would consult with Dean and if Dean wanted it withdrawn Heller would have Dean see Leslie, and “if Dean doesn't I’ll tell him to withdraw the motion.” Heller said he conferred with Harvey Harmon, house parliamentarian, and was advised that recan after signature probably couid not be effected and the most direct way would be to have the motion withdrawn. “I then went to Dean and asked how interested he was in the bill and he told me he didn’t know much about it,” Heller said, “except that he had been asked to present the motion to withdraw the bill.” Weiss Blocks Move “I then told him that the Governor would like to talk to him about what changes are going to be made, and that it would simplify matters a great deal, if he was not interested in the measure, to withdraw the motion, inasmuch as Leslie had signed the bill.” “Dean then asked for permission to withdraw his motion and Weiss, who had seconded the original motion refused to withdraw his second.” Calies’ Son Sonora Governor NOGALES, Sonora, April 28 Rudolfo Calies, son of Plutarco Calies, former president of Mexico, has been elected governor of the state of Sonora,
