KINNEY NEVER FORGOT DUTY IN SHAKEUPS Buffeted Between High and Low Posts, He Ranked Work First. Thi# '• the fifth of eerlec of stories on the life end police cereer of .Terrs Klnner. Indienspolis police chief, srho died Tuesday morninr. after a lonr Illness. Politics never bothered Jerry Kinney, although he probably was more affected by the breakdowns and rebuildings of city political machines than any other member of the police department in the history of the city. His titles, salary and desk often were shifted, but these changes, that came as the public’s affection tidal waves from one man to another—from one party to another and from one issue to the next—never veered Jerry Kinney from his work as a police officer. Throughout nearly half a century as an officer he stood loyally with his friends—man to man. He was a Democrat, although there are but few of us who ever heard him say so. During his two score and four years on the city pay roll Kinney saw politics ruin his friends and skyrocket others to the heights of fickle public acclaim. He mourned at the loss of two public figures who were driven to the easiest “way out” of suicide by politics. Named Bertillon Chief The police roll book page that bears the title “Jeremiah E. Kinney,” tells the story of Kinney’s buffeting, indirectly, by balloting of the people. The record reads of his appointment as a patrolman on the metropolitan police force June 1, 1887. Then it tells of his transfer to the detective department four years later. Then, perhaps, appears the only change not directly effected by politics. In 1898 he was named head of the Eertillon department because one man realized his value in that branch of police work. A year later he stepped to detective captain. But in 1901 came his first slip. Politics reduced Kinney to a detective sergeant. Two years later the political ship changed its course. Kinney again was a detective captain. Resignation Refused After a minor shift in 1905, a year later found Kinney reduced in rank to a detective sergeant. Three years later he was a detective lieutenant and in 1918 he rose, despite politics, above the ranks to be named chief of detectives. Again fate was with him and he moved to acting chief of police Aug. 1, 1919. Four days later he was chief, although he thought seriously of refusing the post. From 1922 to 1930 Kinney three times was detective chief and three times was reduced to detective captain. And then Mayor Reginald H. Sulllivan named Jerry Kinney police chief of Indianapolis. Last week Kinney wanted to resign. Sullivan refused. Now Jerry Kinney has gone where ; ranks, salaries and decks count for j naught.

Elephants with a wild west—with 101 Ranch Wild West, to be more specific? Certainly. Why not—when you recall that a big portion of the 101 Ranch show is a great far east, and that it takes fifteen acres of canvass to present the combined troupes? Yes, there are elephants with 101, and they eat peanuts, so that

STATE CONTROL OF CHARITIES PROPOSED

Leslie Moves to Regulate Activties of All Organizations. State regulation of the more than 300 charitable organizations and institutions in Indiana has been proposed by Governors Harry G. Leslie. Investigation of various new enterprises and the compulsory filing of reports, including the receipts and disbursements of the various groups, was suggested. Such regulation is being studied by both the Governor and the reorganized state board of charities, and recommendations carrying out the ideas are expected to be made soon. “What our attention is being focussed upon in particular,” declared Leslie, “are the various ‘fly by night’ charitable organizations wherein a man or woman puts on a uniform, a cap or bonnet with some insignia and then goes out to solicit alms and contributions for the needy. In many cases the funds so obtained are diverted from the cause for which they obstensibly were collected. “It is of the utmost importance that something be done to regulate the charitable organizations. “It is not our thought to hinder the worth-while organizations in their laudable labors, but merely to aid them by clearing out the undesirables,” Leslie declared. He pointed out that the statistics

The Governor announced that in a few days he would name the members of the various institutional and beneficial committees which are to work under the direction of the state charities board, pursuant to a bill passed by the 1931 legislature. $1,001,000 TO CHARITY Late Mortimer L.

PANIC REIGNS AS DRYS POUNCE ON NIGHT CLUB Names of 50 Couples Are Taken by U. S. Raiding Squad. Federal and police dry squads confiscated liquor in raids on alleged booze joints and a night club over the week-end. Confusion reigned in the Towne Club at the Antlers early Sunday when a dozen agents headed by James G. Britt, deputy prohibition administrator for Indiana, raided the club. The agents, many of them “imported” for the raid, took the names and addresses of fifty guests and confiscated a quantity of bottles from tables. Names of the owners of the bottles were pasted on the alleged liquor containers by the agents. No arrests were made. The raid was made on a search warrant signed by a federal commissioner. Authorities did not state whether they intended to take further action in the case. Robert I. Griffith is manager of the hotel and Lloyd Turpin is manager of the club. Raiding a barbecue stand at 3053 Madison avenue, police arrested the operator, Frank Foline, on charges of operating a blind tiger after they alleged they found three gallons of liquor on the premises. Others arrested on blind tiger charges: Martin Koss, 2927 West Tenth
