NATURAL GAS CASE BURSTS INTO CUURT Petition Federal Judge to Restrain Prosecutor of Vigo County. INTERFERENCE CHARGED Kentucky Firm Declares Whitlock Working for ‘Personal Clients/ Charges that Charles G. Whitlock, Vigo county prosecutor Is "using unlawfully” his position “for the private benefit of personal clients and himself,” are contained in petition for temporary restraining order against Whitlock, his deputies and the Vigo county sheriff and deputies filed in federal court here by the Kentucky Natural Gas Company. This is the same company which is seeking to furnish natural gas to Indianapolis corporations. Hearing on the petition is to be held here Thursday morning before Federal Judge Robert C. BaltEell when substantiating testimony is expepted to be produced by Miller & Miller attorneys for the natural gas company. Outline of what is termed “a program for the purpose of harassing, Interfering and stopping work” on the laying of the natural gas concern’s mains into Terre Haute is given in the petition. “Attorney for Industries” It charges that Whitlock is attempting to obstruct the work “in the hope and with the wrongful design and purpose of compelling the plaintiff to make certain agreements as to the furnishing of natural gas to certain individuals and corporations” at Terre Haute “and dictating and controlling the prices at which such gas should be furnished to such corporations and individuals.” Whitlock, the petition asserts, “is attorney for certain industries and persons and proposes to prevent the gas company from going on with the work of laying the mains until the Kentucky Natural Gas Company would furnish the natural gas prices which he would dictate.” Alleged threats made by the prosecutor to “kick the natural gas company out of Indiana” are set forth in the petition together with the history of Whitlock's verbal and legal attacks upon the company. Claim $1,500,000 Expense The petition declares that $1,530,000 is being expended by the company in laying its pipe lines from the Kentucky field through Evansville and Terre Haute to Indianapolis and that the open flow of its gas wells reach 350,000,000 cubic feet flally. A franchise was obtained from the Vigo county commissioners to lay the mains into that county; and on April 14, 1931, a contract was made with the Universal Gas Company at Terre Haute to deliver natural gas to the Indiana Consumers bas and By-Products Company for fifteen years. Contracts were made with Conner & Sons Construction Company of Terre Haute to lay a lateral main to the plant at a cost of $20,000 for construction and $25,000 for pipes. Work started on June 1, 1931, with approximately 125 men employed on the job. "On June 26 Whitlock visited the scene of the work and threatened to jail the employes unless work was stopped.” On the same day, it is alleged, he filed an affidavit in the Vigo circuit court charging that the contracting firm was obstructing the road while laying the mains. Warrants Are Issued Warrants for the arrest of the employes were issued, but none was served except on the Kentucky Natural Gas Company. The petition sets out that work was stopped on June 27 and that in the meanwhile Whitlock went before the circuit court to obtain an injunction to halt the laying of the mains. Not only dobs the Kentucky Natural Gas Company ask for a temporary restraining order against Whitlock, the sheriff, Joseph M. Dreher and twelve deputies, but Judge Baltzell also is asked to mandate Whitlock to drop his criminal prosecutions and the injunction *uit.

Children Tortured in Federal Prisons, Hoover Board Finds

Startling Story of Dungeons and Floggings Are Detailed to President by His Law Enforcement Commission. BY PAUL R. MALLON United Press Staff Correspondent \\ ASHINGTON r July B.—The Wickersham law enforcement comrniss'on, in a report made public by President Herbert Hoover today, details a startling story of alleged prison tortures which it finds are being inflicted upon youthful offenders against society’s laws. t The report is that of the section on child offenders and embodies a detailed study of the subject. Dungeon cells, bread and water diet, flogging and nervewracking punishments are not unusual for prisoners who laugh or have a concealed 2-cents stamp, the report contended. Fatal consequences were reported in one case. Writing of conditions at Washington state reformatory, the commission investigitor, Miriam Van Waters, said:

BANK BANDITS' BOOTY J 12,000 Hartford City Institution Is Held Up. By United Press HARTFORD CITY, Ind., July 8. —Four bandits raided the Hartford City bank here shortly before noon today, menaced the employes and one patron with guns, and escaped with loot estimated at $12,000. The men fired two shots at James Cronin Jr., president of the bank, but both went wild. The bandits scooped the money from the cages but did not touch the bank vault. They escaped in an auto in which a fifth man was waiting and headed north toward Marion. BAGS GIANT SPIDERS City Man Captures Three Big Tarantulas.

Flier Will Dare Atlantic in Hope of Winning Cure for His 111 Mother

By United Prraa Cincinnati, July 8. —if Captain George Endres and his companion, Alex Magyar, succeed in flying to Budapest from New York City, the flight may mean relief for his bedridden mother now suffering from cancer. This is Endres’ major interest in the trip, to make enough money to provide radium treatment for her, the aged parents of the Hungarian army ace revealed

“Punishment in the dark' cells is given for trivial as well as serious offenses. Not! standing at count, speaking in the dining room, laughing in the cell block, and making loud popping noises with the mouth, were listed on some of the discipline slips of the federal cases studied. “It was related to our field worker by one of the reformatory staff that a prisoner was found dead in one of these cells.” Concerning the industrial reformatory at Chillicothe, 0., she charged: “A few minor offenses noted in the records as punished by from three to six days in the guard house were, possession of a 2-cent stamp; talking in mess line; ebneealing an apple in a bunk; kicking a refuse can, and stealing five eggs from the kitchen.” Shackling Is Related Shackling of boys with leg irons and misuse of the flogging system was charged against the national training school for boys at Washington last year, but these conditions were said to have been corrected. Overcrowding was shown at nearly all places where federal juvenile delinquents are placed. At Chillicothe the living quarters were found to be “in poor repair, crowded, insanitary, and not fireproof.” The national training school for girls at Muirkirk, Md., was described as "a dismal restrictive place, reflecting its spirit.” The Washington state institution received the severest criticism. Twelve correction cells there contained no light or bedding, the report said. Inmates are required to sleep on a plank on the floor. The aim of the medical aid was said to be “to stave off epidemics, rather than to treat those who obviously are seriously ill.” Reformatory Is Assailed To merit such lives, the federal delinquent youngsters generally were guilty of one of three crimes, violation of the prohibition law, the immigration laws or the motor vehicle theft act. the commission found. Os the 2,243 boys and girls under 18 Incarcerated during the six months ending Dec. 31, 1930, there were 990 convicted of violating the prohibition law (44.2 per cent of the total), 492 violators of the immigration law and 392 motor theft miscreants. Eighteen of the prohibition law violators were under 14 and nearly 250 were 16 or under.

Ask Expert Research The report did not consider the vast number of state and local delinquents—only those guilty of violating federal laws. Its recommendations, therefore, were confined to what the federal government can do in the situation. Concluding the report stated: “It is recommended that the federal government recognize Tie concept of juvenile delinquency and withdraw the child offender from the ordinary operation of federal penal justice, save in cases in which the local processes for dealing with delinquent children prove to be or plainly are inadequate. “The precise nature of legislation required to accomplish this result will have to be determined by expert legal research.” WIPERS KEEP BUSY Slot Machine Is Seized at Cigar Store.

U. S.TOTOKIO PLANE BARELY MISSESCRASN Graze Wires as Nonstop Refueling Flight Gets Under Way. HEADED FOR ALASKA Fliers Hope to Keep Plane in Skies for 5,100 Miles. BY GEORGE HELMER United Press Staff Correspondent SEATTLE, Wash., July 9.—Reginald C. Robbins, 28-year-old breaker of aviation records, and Harold S. Jones, wealthy oil man who took up aviation asa hobby, crawled into the monoplane Ft. Worth today, waved nonchalant farewells and flew away into a hazy Pacific dawn on an ambitious 5,100-mile nonstop refueling flight to Tokio, Japan, via Alaska. “Tokio by tomorrow night,” Jones shouted from the cockpit as he waited for Robbins to push aside a remonstrative policeman who didn’t recognize the youthful pilot in Lie little crowd waiting for the takeoff. Barely Miss Wires The heavily-loaded Ft. Worth was away at 5:59 a. m. (Indianapolis Time) heading due north, with ideal weather ahead, for Fairbanks, Alaska, there to keep the first of Its two rendezvous with the waiting refueling ship which will replenish its gasoline supply in mid-air. Difficulty was met because the Ft. Worth was loaded near capacity with 410 gallons of gasoline. Robbins bounced the sluggish ship three times before it rose, just missing high tension wires at the far end of the long runway, whose full length never before had been necessary to clear a plane. The fliers hoped to reach Fairbanks in fifteen or eighteen hours, take on gasoline from the refueling ship while flying along, proceed to Nome for the final contact, then head west over the Pacific on the last half of the attempt. Robbins at “Stick” At the Ft. Worth’s controls was Robbins, modest, drawling, afraid of crowds, who once decided that the glory of having established a world refueling endurance record was enough for him, but was “kidded” into the Tokio venture, and went about it with grim serioifmess of purpose. Robbins planned to handle the controls all the way on the roundabout route, letting the businesslike Jones, to whom the flight was “just a lark,” make full use of his skill at navigating, although in an emergency the rich oil man could take over the pilot’s job.

HEALTH CHIEF HITS AT SANITARY BOARD

Members of the Indianapolis! sanitary commission were called be- i fore the state board of health today and denounced for inaction in carrying out th§ sanitary district program outlined by the state. Dr. William F. King, director of the state health department, de- j dared that the conference was; called for a report on progress made j on the program laid down and: promised to have been executed by the sanitary district commissioners more than a year ago. Walter Myers, Speaker of the house and attorney for the sanitary commissioners, contended that the lack of progress on the program is due, in part, to various tax suits in which the district. is involved. Sewage Plants Delayed King contends that the sewage disposal plant is but half completed, and no construction has been under way there for the last four years. Truly Nolen is plant superintendent. Salaries of the commissioners now are $3,600 a year, contingent on the construction program. When no construction is under I way, that is if the plant ever would be completed, these salaries would i be curtailed to a nominal sum for part time service. This was one of the points brought out at the meeting. The matter of the north side sewage being dumped into White river, and thus contaminating the swimming pools, also was up for discussion. The board of health program provides a remedy for this if ever carried out, it was said. Joseph Hutchinson, deputy attor-ney-general, was present at the meeting as attorney for the state board. His Power to Enforce King said the commissioners left with little definite promise of more speedy progress in the future. The state board of health is empowered to enforce its demands if it so decides. Members of the sanitary commis-

A young mother, 18, to whom her second child was bom eight days ago, ended her life on the tracks of the Big Four railroad, west of Jamestown, today. She was Mrs. Opal Williamson, who hurled herself before a fast, west-bound passanger train. Members o fthe train crew were not aware of the tragedy until they found parts of the woman’s clothing and body on the engine as it reached Crawfordsville. Before leaving the home of her parents, near here, Mrs. Williamson wrapped the youngest baby warmly and took it to a shed near the house. The other child is 1M years old. Mrs. Williamson was married to Cecil Williamson in a double ceremony more than two years ago. He is an employe of the Prest-O-Lite Company in Indianapolis.

I By United Press CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va., July 8. —Clark McKercher, general counsel of the National Chain Stores Association, outlined today before the institute of public affairs here the strategy by which the association hopes to .persuade the United States supreme court to reverse its decision on May 18 upholding the special tax levied by Indiana on chain stores. A petition for rehearing, McKercher said, will be filed with the court July 12. “It will be based,” he added, “almost entirely upon an obvious misapprehension of the facts disclosed in Justice Roberts’ partial analysis of the testimony of witnesses before the trial court.” Motorist Killed By United Press CLINTON, Ind., July B.—Jack Logan, 25, Paris, HI., was killed almost instantly near here when the automobile he was driving crashed against a moving Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paid freight train.

STEVE’S CASE MAY BE RULED ON SOON

Decision in the D. C. Stephenson murder appeal may be made this summer or early next fall, it was being predicted at the statehouse today. Predictions came as the aftermath of the visit here Tuesday of Clarence Darrow, noted lawyer and social philosopher, who spent the day in behalf of his client, the former klan dragon and Hoosier political power now serving life sentence for murder. * Darrow was scheduled to argue for the suppression of a writ of prohibition issued by the supreme court in Stephenson’s habeas corpus action instituted in La Porte superior court. Largest crowd in the history of the court assembled to hear Darrow argue. But if he did any arguing it was behind closed doors in the conference room of the court, where it was voted by the judges to have the whole matter thrashed out in briefs rather than hear it orally.

WITT, HAMILTON TO PENDLETON Prepare to Take Suspects to Reformatory. Pending their trial in Lebanon this fall on charges of slaying Lafayette A. Jackson, Standard grocery head, Louis E. Hamilton and Charles Vernon Witt wil be remanded to the state reformatory at Pendleton. Preparations to take the prisoners to the state institution, are being made today by county authorities. Meanwhile, papers and records in the case were taken to Lebanon by Thomas Doyle, deputy county clerk. Trial of the men wfil be held before Circuit Judge John Hornaaay, probably in September or October. Boone county officials believed dangers of jail break or gang vengeance would make holding of the suspects at Lebanon precarious. BOOZE JCILLS FOUR Alleged Legger Held in Poisoning Case. By United Press BROCKTON, Mass, July B.—The death toll of a poison liquor drinking party at a circus here Tuesday night was increased to four today when Lloyd Deane, 43, died at Brockton hospital.

Williams, city health commissioner, shows that five sets of twins were born in Muncie during June.

So after two hours of restless waiting the crowd adjourned to mill about the corridors and catch a glimpse of Darrow as he left the statehouse for his return to Chicago. Judge Harry Crumpacker, who is enjoined by the temporary writ of prohibition, was in the conference. He pointed out that he was being represented by the Laporte county attorney, Kenneth Osborne, and not by Darrow or Stephenson’s attorneys from Gary. It was agreed that briefs against the writ be filed with the court by opposition attorneys not later tha* July 23. The attorney-generals answer must be made by July 28, and final filings are due Aug. 4. Should the murder appeal be decided in the interim the case would be terminated. Report has long been current that the murder case may be reversed because of technical errors in its conduct in Hamilton circuit court.

And away pa shuffles to the door. “I hope George gives up this idea of making that trip,” speaks Mrs. Endres. "You know it’s so dangerous. Better send him a telegram pa, telling him to come home and forget about it.” But pa Endres thinks differently “Now, ma, you stop worrying about George. Hell be all right,” confides the aged man. “George is a fine aviator.”

BUSINESS MEN WILL SUE TU ENJOIN TOW-SN Injunction Will Be Asked Today in Fight on Parking Ban. MOTORIST IS ARRESTED Alleged to Have Sworn at Officer and Torn Up Sticker on Car. In force but a few hours, the new traffic law prohibiting parking in the downtown area from 7 to 9:15 a. m., today neared anew snag when business men, whose ire has been aroused by the ban, were to seek the aid of a court to halt enforcement of the ordinance. Frank S. Fishback, downtown restaurant operator, was to file an injunction suit in a county court asking a temporary restraining order that prohibits enforcement of the ordinance. The suit was prepared and attorneys were attempting to locate a judge to hear the restraining order argument. The suit was prepared after police had towed-in seven cars that v’olated the rule that no autos may be parked downtown from 7 to 9:15 a. m. Second Attempt This Is the second time in a month police and city officials have attempted to carry out the letter of the law. The first time, it was revealed that a legal flaw in the ordinance made it powerless. Correction of this and councilmen turning a deaf ear to pleas of business men resulted in preparation of the suit. Defendants will be members of the board of safety and Police Mike Morrissey. Fishback, owner of the Virginia Grill, 31-35 East Maryland street, alleges In the suit provisions of the ordinance are “prohibitive, arbitrary, unreasonable and oppressive to this plaintiff and others similarly situated.” The suit is to charge that under the law, there is no allowance for temporary stopping to allow either pick up or discharge of passengers or merchandise and it will leave the streets “bare and devoid of any evidence of business activity” during 7 and 9:15 a. m.

Suffer in Downtown This, it is alleged, will cause business men to suffer losses while in other parts of the city business men have lenient traffic rulings. As claimed by William A. Boyce, former city clerk and attorney, the suit sets out there are parking regulations and sticker asessments, that, if enforced, would be sufficient to control the traffic situation. The tow-in provision is characterized as ‘an unlawful exercise of police powers” in the suit. Fourlane streets in the city also are attacked, the complaint charging the law provides for free use of the streets by motorists from the center to the right. Fairly Well Observed D. S. McCready of the People's State bank was the first victim to pay the tow'-in charge. The fee is $3 where cars are towed in and $3.50 where a crane is used. The ordinance was fairly well observed for the first day, according to Captain Lewis Johnson, in charge of traffic. Johnson said he instructed traffic officers to be reasonable and fair in enforcing the ordinance, taking every precaution possible to avoid towing in cars from out-of-town. A number of car owners appeared in time to save their cars from being towed in and were given traffic stickers. Patrolman Roy Losh arrested James Angelo, 42, of 124 North Pennsylvania street, when Angelo, according to the officer, tore Tip a sticker for improper parking and cursed the officer. He was charged with Improper parking, profanity and resisting an officer. Later Angelo was released on $25 cash bond. Enforce Other Provisions Two ordinances, one repealing the early morning parking ban and the other reducing the area considerably and making it effective for a shorter time, are pending before city council, but probably will not be acted on before the next regular meeting, July 20. Thus, unless a temporary restraining order is obtained by Boyce in his suit, the ordinance will receive at least a two weeks' further trial, as desired by city officials. In addition to the downtown ban, police also were enforcing the provision against parking between 7 and 9:15 a. m. on the west side of Meridian street from Vermont north to Sixteenth street. Parking on the east side of the street is forbidden from 4:30 to 6 p. m. during the evening traffic rush periods. POST, GATTY IN BOOK ‘Round the World in Eight Days' to Appear in Few Weeks.
