STREET CAR CO. OPENS $140,000 TRACK REPAIRS Projects Started Following Order Handed Down by Court. Repair projects on Indianapolis Street Railway Company tracks were started today following an order from Circuit Judge Harry O. Chamberlin giving the company's receiver authority to spend 8140.000 in the work. The improvements are necessary because of street improvements proposed by the board of works. Receiver George Forrey Jr. told the court. Bondholders and other security holders who soon will Join in a reorganization of the street car system favored the repairs as “necessary and a good business move ’ “These repairs will be necessary even though the rehabilitation program becomes effective," Irving Lemaux, Security Trust Company president and leader of the bendholding groups, testified. Tracks to be repaired follow: South street track from Alabama street to Senate avenue; Shelby street track from Cruft to Troy avenues; Each Michigan street track from Highland to Tacoma avenues, and the Oliver avenue track from River avenue to Division street C.

PROTESTS LIMESTONE •BAN’ ON MEMORIAL Would Save Half Million at Vincennes, Lawyer Argues. Frederick E. Schortemeier, former secretary of state and attorney for the Indiana Limestone Company, officially has protested to Governor Harry G. Leslie that his company’s product is barred in construction of $1,500,000 George Rogers Clark memorial at Vincennes. To use Indiana limestone would save $500,000 in construction costs, Schortemeier contends. Leslie promised to investigate. Dr. George Coleman, secretary of the Clark commission said that alternate specifications for the memorial permit use of Indiana limestone, but that the commission had been advised to use marble or granite for the wearing surfaces.

FROM all appearances, this week seems to have been set aside for Indiana democracy. The program opens today with a new Ninth district rally and dinner at Madison, at which party leaders of all factions, state and local officials are expected to be present. There also seems to be some whispering that this may turn out to be a McNutt “party.’’ Thursday, Friday and Saturday are the dates for the state Democratic Editorial Association jubilee in Gary. So both ends of the state are expected to hear much about "the party of Jefferson, Jackson, Wilson, et al.” a u a It is the Madison love feast in which we are interested particularly, because the Gary’ program does not include a spot for an address by home-grown political ambitions. Senator J. Ham Lewis of Illinois and Mayor Anton Cermak of Chicago are the principal speakers, whereas the bars are to be dropped at Madison today and every one of any importance will be permitted to say his piece. • From all rumors, Paul V. McNutt will occupy the center of the stage, surrounded by his friends, including R. Earl Peters, state chairman; Marshall Williams, secretary’; Floyd Williamson, state auditor; Bill Storen, state treasurer, and many of the other fair-haired boys. Os course, the South Bend group will have representatives at the meeting and they also are expected to do some spellbinding, but the set-up is said to be strongly pro McNutt. aaa However, attention will not be directed so much to McNutt as to a possible bid for the senatorial nomination of Albert Stump, nominee in 1926 and in 1928. Stump consistently has declared he would not again seek the nomination, if Evans Woollen, Indianapolis banker, beomes a candidate, but it has been learned from sources close to Woollen that he does not expect to enter the arena in 1932. This Is expected to result in Stump’s contest against Walter Myers, 1931 Speaker of the house. If so, the Madison meeting is a “natural” for Stump, and he may take advantage of it to deliver one of those oratorical efforts for which he is w’ell known. Myers is not laggard when it comes to the same effects, and indications are those attending the Madison rally are in for a heavy barrage of verbiage, all with the same aim—getting up the lightning rods.

VIUN SLAIN ‘FOR radeloff,' SAYS WITNESS Death Car Driver Tells of Murder of N. Y. ‘Playgirl.’ By United Press NEW YORK. June 23.—Harry Schlitten, who confessed h£ drove the murder car In which Vivian Gordon, vice inquiry witness, was strangled to death, testified on the witness stand Monday that she was killed “for a man named Radeloff.” His statement came at thfc close of the story he had told of the red-haired Broadway night life figure's sensational death; the story of her murder with which Harry Stein and Samuel Greenberg are charged. Radeloff is the name cf a man named in Vivian Gordon’s now famous diary. In it she said she feafed only two men, and those men were identified by police as John A. Radeloff and Sam (Chowderhead) Cohen. Radeloff was Vivian’s attorney; Cohen an ex-convict. “We Done It for Him” After the murder, Schlitten testified, Stein called at his home, told him of selling Vivian’s ring for $650, gave him $212, then picked up a newspaper in which were pictures of tw’o men questioned in the Gordon murder mystery. “There was a picture cf ‘Chowderhead’ and another in it,” Schlitten said. “I pointed to the picture cf the other fellow and Stein said, ‘Yeah, that’s Radeloff. That’s the party we done it for.” The picture was Identified by the newspaper as that of John A. Radeloff. Owed Radeloff 51,500 Schlitten further testified that Stein told him he owed Radeloff 51,590. The lawyer paid him $250 after the murder, Schlitten testified. Schlitten then repeated on the stand the story read to newspaper men by Police Commissioner Mulrooney after his “confession” was first reported. In it he described the auto ride, the luring of Vivian on the story that Greenberg had $250,000 in uncut gems, the strangling, disposal of the body, and “payoff” of the participants. Stein and Greenberg strangled the woman, Schlitten testified. Justice Cohn adjourned the trial until 3 this afternoon. Wrong Address Is Given Through an error in police records it was stated Monday that Lewis Johnson, arrested following a drinking party, resided at 410 North Euclid avenue. His address is 419 North Euclid avenue. Mr. and Mrs. R. G. Miles live at 410 North Euclid avenue.
