Her name was on the danger list, j Miss Josephine Hutchinson, actress friend of Miss Le Gallienne, and Miss Marie Cou, a maid, were burned about the face, shoulders and arms. Miss Le Gallienne’s burns were more extensive. She was burned on face, shoulders, thighs and chest, and her hair w-as singed. Dr. William W. Tracey, hospital physician, said that “unless complications set in,” Miss Le Gallienne would recover. The explosion occurred when the three women attempted to light the j heater, which had not been working properly. They were thrown to | the floor. It was believed that gas- j oline fumes from a leak caused. the explosion. Anthony Gerace. Miss Le Gallienne’s gardener, heard the explo- : sion v and with his wife Angela, helped beat out the flames on their ; gasoline-sprayed clothing. He then drove them ten miles to Norwalk! hospital.

INDIANAPOLIS, SATURDAY, JUNE 13, 1931

MANY CALLED, ! BUT FEW PAY FOR ‘STICKERS’! 140,000 Little White Cards Passed Out in 1930: 7,955 ‘Cough Up/ ‘FRIEND’ MAKES IT RIGHT Police Wage Losing Battle in Effort to Enforce Traffic Law. Oscar got a little sticker. Was Oscar filled with woe? No. Oscar was a wise *ur. The "right’* bird he aid know. u a tt Apparently a majority of the erring motorists of Indianapolis bear the name Oscar. From a check of figures at police headquarters, it is revealed that but a small per cent of the motorists; who receive stickers for violation of the city's parking laws, ever walk | into the office of city clerk and plank down currency of the realm. Captain Lewis Johnson, head of the traffic department, estimates that traffic policemen, tramping or ■ riding the streets of Indianapolis' for twelve months in 1930. marked and slipped 140,000 little white cards under windshield wipers. Small Percentage Pays And of that number, 7,955 holders of those little tickets, came dutifully to police headquarters and paid j $16,004 for first, second and third j offenses. During the first five months of 1931, the motoring public has responded a little better to the demands of the law. According to the records, fines were paid on 5.049 stickers in January, March, April, and May. There are no compiled figures for February, 1931, but taking for granted the' number might have been as high as 1,500, 6,549 stickers would have been returned and paid. According to Johnson, 66,000 stickers have been distributed this year. Policemen will admit their efforts to teach the motoring public where and where not to park are hard work. Many motorists who dash out to their cars just as the sticker is being put in place often try to hand it back to the policeman. They Play Tricks Then there is the group of auto- j ists who spy from office windows. ' They note the time when the-traf-; sic cop places the little mark on a j tire. They count up the time limit' and just a few minutes before he i is due again, either rub off the mark or move the car. The new traffic law, which has j been more or less of a delayed pass, due to a technical slip-up, probably will reduce the number of violaJ tors when it begins to operate again. Tow-in of automobiles does not appeal to the motorists, and more than once last week, when the towin order was enforced, police received the “bird” from spectators. Efforts have been made several times by police and city officials to stop sticker-fixing. But, apparently. it only has a temporary effect. Everybody Is Fixing Through politicians and employes of city, state and county, comes a ; steady stream of stickers to be fixed. Sometimes a single sticker will go through three or four hands bej fore it gets to the party with the j power to fix it. They are sent to | the proper place by messenger, mail, : office boys and stenographers. Police officials who have studied : the situation say there is no other i demand of the law that sends so 1 i many persons scurrying for a! | -’fixer.” Patrol wagons have been used to impress the importance of a traf- ' sic sticker on those who have rej ceived them, but fail to appear either in court or at the traffic de- { partment office. But there always is a “fixer” and always several hundred persons to whom he is “the friend in need.” FLORISTS NAME GREENE New Indianapolis Group Elects Rieman as Vice-President. Clarence R.

CAPONE REIGN SEEN AT END Gang Is Practically .Broke, Says U. S. Attorney. BY SAM KNOTT United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, June 13.—Government attorneys and investigators declared today that by indicting Scarface A1 Capone and sixty-eight followers on liquor charges, they had loaded the proverbial “last straw” on to the broad back of the Capone gang and forever had broken its reign of lawlessness. His confidence that Capone’s gang was “wrecked” was evidenced by United States Attorney George E. O. Johnson, when he ruled that the underworld leader need not post anew bond on the liquor indictment. Capone last week posted $50,000 bail on charges of evading income tax. Johnson held this was sufficient to cover the new charge also. The Capone gang already is “practically insolvent," declared Johnson, because of raids and high bonds, and he believes one bond sufficiently protects the government.

How the Market Opened

By United Press NEW YORK, June 13.—Week-end profit-taking brought prices of stocks down on the Stock Exchange today. Losses ranged to more than a point. Steel common opened at 90*2, off "s, and then dipped to 90. Other steel shares went down with it and the industrial list generally pointed downward. Rails also were depressed with Pennsylvania and New York Central losing a point each. Standard Gas was down 1%. at 61*6, in the utilities. Fox lost a fraction to 19 Vs in the amusements. Small losses were noted in Radio Corporation, Anaconda, Montgomery Ward, Union Carbide and Alaska Juneau. Nickel Plate was an outstanding exception, rising 5 points to 50. Other issues to make gains included International Telephone, Chrysler, Public Service of New Jersey, General Motors, United Gas Improvement, Auburn Auto, Kennecott, Commercial Solvents, A. M. Byers and American and Foreign Power. Transamerica dipped fractionally to 6’s, equaling its record low. The dip came simultaneously with a cut from $6 to $4 annually in the dividend of Bank of America National Trust and Savings Association, Transamerica subsidiary in San Francisco. Auburn met considerable selling in the early trading. It opened up J 2 point at 167, and later broke to 162. The tendency in the early dealings was downward in a few issues, trading was dull and without real feature. PHYSICIANS TO CONVENE Eclectic Association Meeting to Open Tuesday at the Lincoln.

Easy on Sex Stage Star, Now Chicago Movie Censor, Clamors for Refinement.

BY RAY BRENNAN United Pres:. Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, June 13.—Blond . Frankie James, who quit j being a musical comedy star to : censor Chicago motion pictures, \ finished her first week on the job j today with the conviction that movie kisses need more refinement. “The time element is the least important thing about a film kiss,” Miss Jaraes told the United Press. “Some kisses last only a second, but they’re very, very suggestive. Other kisses last longer, but look purely platonic. “Now, my suggestion for better, if not bigger, motion picture embraces is to make them respect and refinement. In other words, go easy on the sex.” V tt tt A BLONDE with a golden glint and still on the right side (theatrically) of 36, Miss James has been appointed to the Chicago board of censors by Mayor Anton J. Cermak. Six middleaged women and one elderly man sit with Miss James to guard Chicagoans against objectionable films. She saw about forty-five reels of motion pictures daily in her first week of censorship, Miss James said, “and there wasn’t a thing really shocking.” “Motion pictures may be silly, crude, or disgusting,” she said. “Probably some of them are unrefined, sordid, or brutal, but few pictures contain anything that would actually shock father, mohter and the children. “It’s only human for all of us to like a little snap and zest in our lives. We would rather blush just a wee bit,, perhaps, than be bored.” The worst type of picture, Miss James believes, is that which displays luridness, cruelty or vulgarity. . MRS. FARREL IS DEAD Real Estate Executive’s Mother Succumbs to Long Illness. Mrs. Carrie Adele Farrel, 64, died Friday at her home, 4316 Colege avenue. She had suffered a long illness.

She was a member of the Eastern Star and of the Central Avenue Methodist church. Eight children survive her. They were at the bedside of Mrs. Farrel when she died.

QUIZ EX-SUITOR IN OHIO GIRL’S DEATH

By United Press LIMA, 0., June 13.—The alibi story of a 23-year-old ex-suitor was checked today as authorities investigated the murder of Thelma Woods, 17, whose bruised and beaten body rose to the surface of a quarry pond near here late Friday ending a two weeks’ search for her. County detective Bernard Rooney was returning from Dayton, 0., with a brother of the girl’s former sweetheart. The ex-suitor, arrested after her body was found, was grilled throughout the night. He has denied all knowledge of the crime. Meanwhile, police continued to drag the seventy-five-foot pond in an effort to locate the body of Earl Truesdale, 20, whom they believe was killed as he escorted the girl home from a dance the night of May 30. Truesdale’s automobile was found near the quarry the following day. Police Chief Willis Kipker said he would instr volunteer workers

NEW DIARY, SENSATIONAL IK ITS REVELATIONS, IS FOUND IN HUNT FOR GIRL’S SLAYER Starr Faithfull, Victim in Death Mystery, Told in Lurid Style of Her Many Love Affairs. PROMINENT MEN NAMED IN BOOK District Attorney, Convinced That Society Beauty Was Not Suicide, Presses Search for Killers. By United Press - NEW YORK. June 13.—Discovery of anew diary, which details the swiftly moving love affairs of Starr Faithfull. virtually up to the eve of her strange death, gave promise today of bringing forth the most sensational turns in the case. Described by investigators as "of overwhelming importance,” this second volume, narrating in lurid phrases the experiences of the beautiful Greenwich \ illage girl, strengthened greatly the theory that she had been murdered before her scantily dressed body was cast up by the sea—a theory which lagged momentarily Friday as the mystery grew more

and more undecipherable. Detectives, taking advantage of Friday’s grand jury hearing to make a top-to-bot-tom search of the Faithfull apartment while the family was away, found the volume in a remote corner. So impressed were they with its contents that they rushed forth to charter an airplane and carry it to District Attorney Elvin E. Edwards of Nassau county, who was preparing to leave for the week-end. Edwards, head of the investigation, has been convinced from the first that Miss Faithfull was mur-

RAILWAYS LAY MERGER PLANS Four-Line Link Soon to Be Presented to I. C. C. By United Press NEW YORK, June 13. The $450,000,000 four-trunk line merger plan agreed to tentatively by the major eastern railroads last December is expected to be presented to the interstate commerce commission for approval soon after the commission receives the joint peti- I tion of the country’s railroads asking for a 15 per cent increase in freight rates. The few minor difficulties still remaining in the merger plan were ironed out at a meeting at Pennsylvania station Friday, attended by the presidents of all the major lines. The plan was given President Hoover's approval Dec. 30. 1930. Those attending the meeting Friday included O. P. and M. J. Van Sweringen of the Chesapeake & Ohio-Nickel Plate lines; W. W. Atterbury, president of the Pennsylvania; Patrick E. Crowley, president of New York Central, and Daniel Willard, president of the Baltimore & Ohio. ATTACK PRESIDENT Resignation of Venezuela’s Chief Demanded. : By United Press CARACAS. VENEZUELA. June 13. —President Juan Bautista Peres was expected to tender his resigna- { tion today. It was demanded by ■ congress Friday night in a resolu- j tion drawn up by a majority in both senate and chamber. The president was charged with : incompetence to meet the present “disturbed political and economic situation” facing the republic. General Kuan Vicente Gomez, former president and dictator, was men-1 tioned favorably as a “strong man” I needd to solve the nation’s diffi-! culties.

to start dragging Hoover lake, a body of water near the quarry, if the youth's body was not found in the pond today. He expressed belief that the young couple was attacked by several men, and said he expected other arrests before tonight. Authorities were ready to abandon the murder theory when the girl’s body, weighted down and partially covered by a burlap sack, appeared on the surface. A long gash, discovered at the base of the brain, led Coroner Frank Smith to a verdict of murder. After an autopsy, the coroner said he believed the girl was knocked unconscious by a blow on the head, and thrown into the pond. He found water in the lungs, and ascribed drowning as the cause of death. When Truesdale and the girl were reported missing after the dance their disappearance at ftast was regarded as an elopment.

dered, despite the many indications of suicide so far revealed. The sensational nature of the diary was not revealed until today, though Inspector Harold R. King, chief of Nassau county detectives, was forced to acknowledge after the airplane flight that an important new clew had been found in the home. , While an effort was made to guard its contents closely, the new volume was understood, to have elaborated upon and brought up to date the first diary, which was produced, but not put into evidence, at the opening grand jury hearing. It was said to have contained the names of many more men, some of them prominent, with whom the impetuous and eccentric young woman was acquainted and described in greater details her love affairs with them. Father Hints of Sensation While Edwards and his assistants engrossed themselves in a study of the new evidence, the hint of another startling development was dropped unexpectedly by Stanley E. Faithfull, the spare and dignified foster father of Miss Faithfull. Returning from the grand jury session at Mineola late Friday, he stopped outside his home and spoke in a mysterious voice of something which he feared was inevitable. ‘•Something tremendously important and something which I've been hoping could be avoided is going to take place at Mineola in the morning,” were the words he was quoted as uttering. “I can't tell you any more about it now.” If the grey-haired chemical manufacturer was referring to a development he anticipated in the grand jury hearing, he apparently was mistaken about the time, for the next session will not be until Tuesday. New Angles Found The grand jury session of Friday was perhaps a bit disappointing to the sensation-seekers who clustered about the courthouse at Mineola and in front of the once-aristocratio residence in which the Faithfully family live, a few doors away from Mayor James J. Walker. From the witnesses who were called, there seemed to have come no clew regarding the young woman's possible slayers, and the testimony was generally not of any startling nature. Several new sides to the mystery enhanced interest today, however, and set investigators working on fresh leads that may lead to important developments. Inspector King assigned twenty men to begin a search this morning of the shore and sewers from Atlantic Beach westward for thirtyfive miles, on a chance rof finding Miss Faithfull’s missing clothing or possibly some other Dit of evidence in the region where her body was discovered last Monday morning by a beachcomber. Girl Was “Narcissist" From a man who described himself as an intimate friend of the Faithfull family came other information bearing on Starr’s peculiarities. The man. whose name was withheld, said Miss faithfull had been under the care of a neuroloigst quite recently and that her family had been told her case bordered on paranoia. “She was a Narcissist,” he was quoted as saying. “Three-quarters of her waking hours were occupied with thoughts of her own physical appearance. In many respects she had the mentality of a 12-year-old girl. Her instability brought trouble to every one who had anything to do with her.” The informant explained that Starr’s many infatuations with men of various ages and stations in life had left her without any unusual admiration for any of them except one. and over this one she was said to have brooded constantly. Infatuated with Doctor The man in question was said to have been Dr. G. Jameson Can, ship's surgeon on the Cunard liner Franconia—the liner from which it was necessary to remove her recently as it was sailing for Europe. Dr. Carr, now on a vacation in Europe, while the Franconia Is being remodeled at its Liverpool pier, was said by other persons to have been a close friend of Starr The commander of the liner knew i of no acquaintance, however, t&at Starr had made among his officers.
