DEPUTY SIMPLY INVALUABLE TO SLOT MACHINES Can’t ‘Frisk’ the Boys Unless You’ve Got the ‘Law’ to Help You. A brightly polished deputy sheriffs badge is a valuable adjunct to a slot machine operator. Take, for Instance, the dime a dance roadhouse just outside the northeast city limits. There's no business depression there. The steaks are just as juicy; the jazz band just as tantalizing as ever. Bulging hip pockets may contribute to the gayety there, but the big, genial proprietor can’t see everything, can he? They don't get “falling-down’’ at that place—and stay there. They’re bounced pronto. And there’s no use having a deputy sheriff around smoking your cigars and everything without making use of him. That five-by-ten annex recently fitted up adjoining the dance hail emphasized that fact. Take It or Leave It In there, back to the wall, are four of the shiniest slot machines a deputy sheriff ever looked at. No silly mint-vending contraptions on these slot machines. Nothing like that. Just “straight-shcotin’,” win or lose, take it or leave it. ' The nickel machine at the right lets in the ribbon clerks. The dime appliance, next to the left, takes up the preliminary silver offering. But “the real chance to clean up is right up here,” explains the proprietor’s dapper right-hand man, head waiter and come-on agent, waving to the 25-cent twins at the left. “Not that one; this one,” he admonishes, “for this one, see here, has all these quarters in the jack pot. Someone recently ‘hit’ the other one." ’ A handful of quarters gleamed a challenged from their glass-incased jackpot. They seemed fidgeting to get out. “Great fun!” beamed the “master-of-ceremonies" as the levers clicked, sending the wheels spinning with their lemons, peaches, plums and citrus fruits. ‘Twas Tunny’ Thing “You know,” confided the head man, as garrulous as the players were enthusiastic, "a funny one happened out here the other night. “A fellow was playing this quarter machine,” he went on. “He’d take a quarter out of his pocket, slam it : in the slot, bend over the machine ! like this—so you couldn’t see the quarter or the wheels—you know how some fellows and the lever and then listen to see if the bell would ring. “He’d put his ‘earnings’ in one pocket; then put in another quarter; always bending over so no one could see the place w’here the quarter goes down.” “He’d clicked out quite a lot of money and went out to his table, where another man was sitting—when someone noticed he’d left a slug in the machine. He’d been playing quarter slugs! Well, they told the boss, and when this fellow comes up front, the boss takes hold of this fellow’s shoulder and says: ‘Say, I want to talk to you about them slugs!’ “Now 7, What Can You Do?” “Well, this fellow beats it and gets away. But his pal still was sitting in there. So the boss gets this deputy sheriff—you know we always keep a deputy sheriff out here. Well the boss and the deputy sheriff collar this other guy. “They were in a pinch, you know, because, after all, you can’t call the police about someone putting slugs in quarter slot machines, c?n you? “W r j£, they collar him, and they ! r /i7, “Here. This is a federal of- I sense. This is counterfeiting—play- : ing slugs. You’ll go to Leavenworth! ” “Well the guy gets scared and 1 they go through his pockets and ! find slugs in every one of ’em. That’s ; all they could do. They frisked him i of the slugs and $11.50 and had to I let ’im go. “Can you beat that?”

TOO MANY AOS RUINING RADIO, CRITICSDECIDE Not Enough Entertainment Given, Is Verdict of Editors. By United Preen CHICAGO, June 12.—T00 much advertising on radio programs, some of it not in the best of taste, is responsible for many of the ills of the radio industry, it was decided today by 250 newspaper radio editors meeting in connection with the Radio Manufacturers’ Association. The basis on which the decision was reached was the editors’ answers to a questionnaire issued at the convention. The consensus by the

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

“critics of the air” was told to the United Press today by Volney D. Hurd, president of the Newspaper Radio Editors’ Association. “Many of the editors, in reality radio critics to their readers, believe that too much of the listening public’s time is being taken up with advertising material,” said Hurd, radio editor of the Christian Science Monitor. “Some of the material broadcast they regard as not particularly appetizing and much of it as uninterestingly given. The type of advertising to which the editors objected chiefly was that regarding medicines and diseases—particularly when broadcast at meal times.” Hurd revealed that the editors believe many radio listeners have been lost because programs consist too much of advertising and not enough of entertainment. In showing their preference for programs, Hurd said, many of the editors chose those which carried interesting, but short, advertising sketches. Programs with select entertainment, but lengthy and uninteresting advertising were voted down.

BATTLE LINES TENSE IN OHIO MINE CONFLICT Machine Guns Protect 350 Miners Who Refuse to Join Strikers. By United Press ST. CLAIRSVILLE, 0., June 12. Battle lines were drawn today for an anticipated renewal of the struggle between special deputies under Sheriff Howard Duff and 1,000 striking miners who have threatened to drag strike-breakers from the New Lafferty pits. After repulsing attempts of a mob to release eighteen strikers held in the Belmont county jail for rioting, the sheriff's forces, recruited from ex-service men, returned to the mine armed with machine guns and

tear gas bombs. Angry strikers were encamped on the hills surrounding the mine, awaiting opportunity to seize strike-breakers on their way to work. Sheriff Duff, an A. E. F. veteran, was beaten wmen he arrested Leo Thompson, Pittsburgh, who was leading the attack on the jail. Deputies exploded tear bombs when the sheriff disappeared in the milling crowds. Seven women and five men were overcome by the fumes. Three received medical attention. Over 4,000 persons witnessed the struggle. Following the attack. Sheriff Duff, who was voted a $25,000 appropriation to control the tense situation here, said he would “go the limit” to enforce the law, and protect 350 miners who refused to join the New Lafferty strike. His men have mounted the machine guns at the mine entrance, which is twelve miles from St. Clairsville. Violence attending the strike first broke out late Thursday when miners charged the New’ Lafferty tipple in automobiles. They were turned back by deputies who arrested eleven strikers on charges of inciting to riot and blockading a highway.

BANK RUNS IN CHICAGO END System in Good Condition, Traylor Asserts. By United Press CHICAGO, June 12. —Chicago’s banking system—disordered this week by twenty-seven closings and three mergers—is in good condition, Melvin A. Traylor, president of the First National b3nk and one of the nation’s leading financiers, said today. “Public confidence is being restored,” Traylor said. “Financial interests are working to restore the small neighborhood institutions which have closed. “All the closed banks were small ones. They were relatively unimportant in the city's entire banking picture, although their closing, of course, must be regretted greatly.”
