Sullivan’s special gas committee today by William. G. Woolfolk, president of the Marion County Gas Corporation. Details of the proposal were submited to Henry L. Dithmer, committee chairman.

SCHOOL HEADS 1 TO PUSH CAGE TOURNEY QUIZ Ogden’s Ruling That Board Is Without Power Will Not Halt Probe. IMMORALITY CHARGED Witness Will Tell Where Strychnine Was Sold to Athletes. Investigation of alleged immorality and bad effects of the state high school basketball tournament will be continued by the state board of education probe committee, despite a ruling of the attorney-general holding the board powerless to act in the matter. Superintendent W. A. Wirt of the Gary schools, chairman of the investigation committee, told The Times today by telephone that he still is of the opinion that the matter should l. investigated. Plans of procedure will be discussed when the board meets at the statehouse Friday. Wirt requested Attorney-General James M. Ogden for an opinion regarding powers of the committee and board. Committee Has No Power The opinion, written by Joseph W. Hutchison, deputy attorneygeneral, has been delivered to George C. Cole, superintendent of public instrtiction. It sets out that the committee has no power to summon witnesses, nor the board power to abolish the state tournament if it sees fit. Power to forbid any high school from participating in the tournament lies with the local board of education, the opinion holds. “It is possible that many witnesses would be willing to appear and volunteer testimony,” Wirt pointed out. Hines Agrees With View This view also was held by President L. N. Hines of Indiana Teachers college, Terre Haute, a member of the probe committee. “I have the letter of the man who states that he is willing to appear and give the name of an Indianapolis druggist who sold strychnine to some of the athletes to stimulate them for the final games,” Hines declared today. , “Surely such charges should be investigated and I feel that such investigation will be backed heartily by all friends of the tournament. “Two points are involved in this matter—the physical effect on the players and the moral effect on the students attending the games. Both should be gone into. If anything wrong is found, it should be corrected.” . Superintendent Cole pointed out that state board does have power to lay lown rules for a commissioned high school and these could be invoked to make any changes in the basketball situation which the board might desire. Frank Reynolds. Cambridge City, is the third member of the investigating committee. CONTINUE BUS QUIZ Grand Jury Will Not Drop House Bill 6 Probe. . Investigation of conspiracy charges in passing of House Bill 6, regulating bus and truck transportation, was continued today by the Marion county grand jury, despite report that the probe might be dropped. Oscar Hagemier, deputy grand jury prosecutor, denied the report that there was any intention of the investigation being sidetracked because of lack of evidence on which indictments might be returned. “If it is to be dropped, I do not know about it," Prosecutor Herbert E. Wilson stated this morning. Ogden to Address B’nai B’rith Attorney-General James M.

Finally Beryl spoke to him. “Won’t she let you explain, Tommy?” Irene whirled upon her. “So you’ve had a hand in this!” she exclaimed, making the accurate guess through a full knowledge of her sister’s capabilities. Beryl nodded. “Why don’t you let Tommy tell you about it?” she asked quietly. She had learned long

KIRKLAND JURY TASK HOPELESS 33 Questioned, Dismissed Since Trial Start. Bp Tunes Sphcial VALPARAISO, Ind., April 30. Obtaining a jury in Porter county for the second trial of Virgil Kirkland, 20-year-old Gary athlete, on murder charges, is an impossibility, his attorneys told Judge Grant Crumpacker today, because of* the fixed opinions of a great majority of the residents. Oscar B. Thiel, chief of defense counsel for Kirkland, who is accused of killing Arlene Dravcs, his 18-year-old sweetheart, during a wine and gni party in Gary, prefaced the defense examination of prospective jurors with that explanation. The defense hopes. Thiel indicated, that Judge Crumpacker will take advantage of an Indiana law which permits a court to obtain jurors from outside the county in which a trial is being held. Prosecutor John Underwood declared the state would fight such a move. The defense questioned candidates all morning without finding a single man satisfactory as a juror. A total of thirty-three veniremen has been dropped from the jury box since the trial started on Wednesday. ‘ARROWSMITH’ IN FILMS Sinclair Lewis’ Book Bought for Screen by Goldwyn.

before that the way to drive Irene frantic was to speak to her calmly when she was excited. Irene seemed to want the sparks to fly in every direction. Cool people disconcerted her. Being disconcerted always caused her rage to mount. “He needn't bother,” she cried. “I’ve been waiting here for hours! I'd like to know what he thinks I am.” Beryl turned to Tommy. “Why don’t you tell her?” she asked sweetly. “I wish she'd give me the opportunity.” Tommy’s answer cut through her like a knife. “I think you ought to know, Irene, what I think of you,” he said. “I’m crazy about you. Now, are you coming with me?” 9 9 9 A WAVE of anger, overwhelming and savage in its intensity, swept over Beryl with Tommy’s words.

A citizens’ posse discouraged bank banditry in Marion county today when it captured two men who held up the Oaklandon State bank, taking $3,000. Top picture shows the bandits being led, handcuffed together, into the sheriff’s road patrol office. Left to right are Deputy Sheriff Tom Scanlon, James Cor-

Robbers Chased Across Fields by Citizens, Surrender Without Fight; Hide Behind Counters in Holdup. Two young 1 bank bandits who robbed the Oaklandon State bank of $3,000 early this morning were captured ten minutes later, when a half dozen citizens overtook them after a mad steeplechase across fields west of the village. Refusing their names or any information to deputy sheriffs who brought them to Indianapolis, the pair were turned over to detectives. Later they told detectives they were James Cordell, 32, Detroit, and Charles Le Roy Palmer of Cleveland, but they were silent again.

Detectives today received requests from Ohio authorities for description of Cordell and Palmer, whom they believe are wanted for crimes there. Tells of Other ‘Third Degrees’ Both bandits refused to say anything when quizzed by detectives, i However, Cordell's description is , said to tally with that of a bandit who robbed a bank in St. Clairs- j ville, 0., Tuesday. “You can beat me. kick me. or do what you damn please, but I’m not talkin,’ ” Cordell, the younger man, told detectives. “I’ve been in hos- 1 pitals as long as three weeks after | one of these sessions, but I never | told anything." A moment later he denied ever having been in trouble before, and said he. couldn’t be wanted for anything in Ohio. Prosecutor Herbert E. Wilson said he would rush indictments against the pair as soon as possible, and { work to bring them to trial without delay. “Robbers with guns are potential ! killers,” he said. When Edgar Mock, assistant cashier, opened the bank at 7:30, the pair arose from behind a counter, with pistols in their hands. “Get ’em up, quick,” one commanded. Then he looked out of the window, noticed that the holdup might be seen, and commanded Mock to lower his arms and walk behind the counter. Threatening death if he stepped ; on alarm buttons or refused to obey j them, the bandits ordered the vault opened. From it they scooped j $3,000 into a sack, and forced Mock into the vault. Pulls Burglar Alarm Once inside, swiftly he grabbed i a steel door, and slammed it shut l to protect himself, pulling a burglar alarm at the same time. The alarm sounded in the fire station nearby. As the bandits fled I through the rear door of the bank, ! seven men ran after them. Some l of the citizens were armed with | shotguns. Others had.no weapons. The chase led west of the town, with the villagers gaining on the bandits. In an open field, half a mile away the bandits split, one darting in one direction, and other in another. Close behind one of the bandits was Alexis Riley, unarmed. “Stop, you! Or I’ll drill you,” he yelled at the panting fugitive. His bluff was not called. The bandit stopped, and surrendered without any opposition. Before he discovered his captor was unarmed, four other men, with shotguns, had covered him. They were R. V. Bruce, Otto Apple. Paul Burk and Jess McCord. Riley took away the gun, and

Below (left), the bank, and (left to right) Paul Burk, one of the posse; Edgar Mock, assistant cashier, who was held up, and R. V. Bruce, another of the posse.

Bruce took the sack of money Cordell was carrying. Search disclosed two other guns, one of which be- j longed to the bank. Meanwhile, Norris Lingle and Marvin Springer overtook Palmer. Florin Huntley, 16, and Ross Apple, 19, had seen him hide a small sack of money in a drain tile. It was recovered, and his gun was found along interurban tracks where he threw' it as he ran. Think Third Man Involved W. E. Fleming, Oaklandon marshal, said he thought a third man was in on the plot, and was to have picked up Cordell and Palmer, but was unable to carry out the plan when Mock stepped on the alarm. He said that while driving a school bus west of the town shortly after the alarm sounded, he saw a stranger driving a maroon coupe, looking backward toward the village several times as he sped away. Mock and the citizens who captured the pair may share a SIOO reward offered by the American Surety Company of New York, which carries a policy on the bank. The insurance company already has begun arrangements to pay the reward to the bank, which will distribute it among the members of the posse. Mock was held up June 23, 1930, while alone in the bank. The bandit was Bruce Scott, now wanted here for murder of a city fireman, on trial in Oklahoma for kidnaping. The men were returned to the bank and searched. As the money was piled upon a table one of the bandits protested: “Hey, listen, $35 of that was mine,’ he complained. But the money was not given to him. Officers Soon on Scene Deputy Sheriffs Thomas Scanlon, Pearl Craig and Pat Kinney, on the scene in eleven minutes after they received the alarm, handcuffed the prisoners and brought them to city prison. Police believe the men entered the bank through a side window during the night, and planned to blow the safe, but w’ere surprised | by Mock. Searching the bandits, deputies found two guns on them, one a blue-steel .45-caliber revolver, and the other a pearl-handle .45 automatic pistol. Cordell was a tall, husky man, and Palmer is short and heavy. Rumanian Parliament Dissolved By Vnited Prtea BUCHAREST, Rumania.

POISONS WIFE OF RIVAL AND THEN HIMSELF Love Pirate Slays Woman Rather Than Lose Her, Ends Own Life. DIE AT HUSBAND’S FEET •One Last Drink Before We Part’ Is Plea Leading to Tragedy. By United Press CHICAGO, April 30. Rather than let his sweetheart leave him to return to her husband, J. H. Hartung of Dayton, 0., tricked her into taking “one last drink ’ before they parted. A moment later both fell dead at the feet of the husband, who just had announced proudly that he had won back her love. The other victim in what police said was one of the strangest martail tragedies on record here was Mrs. Kathleen Garrison, 38, wife of Ralph Garrison, a magazine circulator of Kalamazoo, Mich. They died almost instantly of prussic acid, which Hartung, a salesman, had poured into the liquor before he urged her to have “just one last drink" before they parted in the hotel apartment where they had lived as man a.ci wife. Planned to Kill Self Only Letters left by Hartung indicated h e had planned to kill only himself, but when Garrison and his wife, reconciled, called for her clothing, he decided suddenly, it appeared, to kill them also. He offered drinks to both, but only Mrs. Garrison accepted. The romance which led to the tragedy began several months ago, police learned from Garrison and from Mr. and Mrs. B. M. Jones, friends who came with Garrison from Kalamazoo to help nfluence Mrs. Garrison to give up Hartung, five years her junior. Last March Garrison sent his wife to Miami, Fla., in the hope of breaking up the romance he knew was growing between her and Hartung. In April Mrs. Garrison, who formerly lived in Chicago and Cleveland, returned home, but she and Garrison quarreled again over Hartung and she left on April 18. Friends Sent Word Garrison believed she would come to Chicago and asked several friends here to notifj him should they see her. Monday Mrs. Charles K. Foley called Garrison and told him she had heard from Mrs. Garrison, who was living with Hartung at the Bismarck hotel under the names of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Gerhardt. Garrison hurried to Chicago and met his wife at the Foley homt. After thirty minutes alone, they announced happily that they had become reconciled. Mrs. Jones accompanied Gamson and Mrs. Garrison Wednesday night to the hotel to get Mrs. Garrison's clothes. “One Last Drink” Hartung extended a pleasant greeting when the trio entered his room. He made no comment when Garrison told proudly that Mrs. Garrison was going home again. On a table were three pints of gin and a whisky bottle, which contained the poison. Hartung had packed Mrs. Garrison’s three suitcases, which were on a bed. “Let us have one last drink,” he pleaded of Mrs. Garrison. She was willing, but Garrison disapproved and refused to accept the drink which Hartung mixed. Hartung raised his glass, waited a moment until Mrs. Garrison's touched her lips, then drank. A momeht later he fell, crying “I’m dying; it was poison.” Mrs. Garrison fell at his side, both at the feet of her husband.

Warburton, Selfridge field army pilot, who “bailed out” of his flaming pursuit plane yesterday on the outskirts of Detroit today, had one chief worry as he lay in the hospital here, suffering from burns about his face and left arm. “The flames burned away my moustache,” he mourned. “Three weeks of tender care and work gone up in smoke.” He was reminded he now was a member of the Caterpillar Club, through his use of the parachute Wednesday to save his life. “Yes. I know,” he said morosely, “but Id rather have my moustache back.”
