CITY AUTOIST CHARGES COPS SLUGGED Hi Policemen Used Fists and Clubs in Traffic Pinch, Motorist Says. CHIEF TO MAKE INQUIRY Pair on Carpet Today; Woman Witness Calls Attack Unjustified Charges of police brutality In an arrest for a minor offense will be weighed by Police Chief Mike Morrissey, he announced today, in calling two radio patrolmen to appear before him at 2 this afternoon. Beating of a 21-year-old motorist with clubs and fists by the two officers, who arrested him for driving with improper lights, is alleged by the victim and by witnesses. Ralph Surber, 752 Livingston avenue, driver of the car, was slated at police headquarters Sunday night on charges of resisting an officer, using profanity and driving with improper lights. Shows Black Eye Today he exhibited a blackened eye which he says resulted from a blow by a policeman. Otto Burk and James W. Graham were the arresting officers. Chief Morrissey refused to comment on the case until he has completed his investigation. Surber claims the attack by the officers was unwarranted and that he did not resist arrest or use profane language. Surber, a toolmaker, was driving west on West Washington street early Sunday night with three young companions. In the party were John Wiltermood, 19. of 1016 Fleming street, a Washington high school student; Miss Katherine Powers, 447 North Arnolds avenue, Technical high school student, and Miss Aileen Van Austin, 1410 Oliver avenue. Narrowly Misses Crash According to Surber’s story, a police automobile suddenly turned around in the street, causing him nearly to collide with it. Unaware, he said, that the other car was a police auto, he yelled: "Why don’t you watch where you’re going?” After he had driven several blocks west, Surber said, the police car came from behind and ordered him to stop. “What was that wise crack you made back there?” Surber charges one of the officers said. “I just told you to watch where you were going,” Surber replied. “Well, thfe judge will tell you where we can go,” Surber stated the policeman told him, “and besides, you’re driving with only one light.” Hit With Club, He Says Surber stated that he told the policemen that both of his headlights were burning when he left home, but that he would get out of his car and look. He says that when he stepped from the automobile and bent to look at one of the lights, one of the officers struck him with his fist. He charges he was struck several times, and that when the officers had taken him to a police call box he was beaten with a club. Suuber’s story of the arrest was borne out by witnesses, including Mrs. Grace Royster, 2522 West Washington street. Surber’s car was halted by police in front of her home. “I had just come out on the front porch,” said Mrs. Royster. “I saw the young man stoop as if to look at his lights. One of the policemen slapped him Tire young man was knocked down. He was struck several times. I did not hear the young man use profanity or talk loudly ” OCEAN REiCORD SET Empress of Britain Crosses Atlantic in Four and a Half Pays.

COURT HALTS CITY DRIVE ON BEGGARS

Blind Accordion Player Is Winner in Battle for Injunction. Plaintive notes from street beggars’ tarnished guitars and accordions echoed again today in down town Indianapolis, after a blind musician won a court order favoring him and his brothers on alms row. Police were halted from arresting solicitors of alms by a temporary restraining order issued by Judge Joseph R. Williams in superior court two. A blind accordion player. Wesley Ambler of 416 North Delaware street, filed the suit for injunction against Police Chief Michael Morrisey and the safety board. Several arrests have been made in the last week in the police drive to rid the streets of alleged ‘'racketeering beggars.”" Three cases in which the defendants were charged with vagrancy were dismissed in municipal court. A similar charge is pending against Ambler. Judge Williams set next Monday for a hearing on a permanent injunction. Ambler’s attorney, Roy L. Volstad. informed the court that “it practically was impossible to make a vagrancy case in court against the alms solicitors.'’ Some arrests are being made under a city ordinance preventing the soliciting of funds in public places, city attorneys declared. “Although arrested eighteen times, one beggar never was convicted in court on a vagrancy charge,” Volstad pointed out.

Dr. Howe, playing golf at Port Washington, L. 1., was summoned by telephone and flew immediately to West Orange. Members of the family gathered at the home. After treating Edison, Dr. Howe revealed the inventor had been suffering from diabetes for several years and that he also had ulcers of the stomach. The collapse might have been brought on, he said, by the fact that Edison has observed a self-imposed milk diet for several years which has left him undernourished. During the day the Edison residence in Llewelyn park received many messages inquiring about the inventor’s condition. Two of these were from Edison’s old friends, Henry Ford and Harvey Firestone. The three have formed a famous vacation triumvirate, meeting in the south every winter. Ford’s telephone call came just as Edison was about to eat some tapioca. The automobile manufacturer ordered a fleet of cars placed at the disposal of the family.

Carter’s luck was not of the best. Then Mrs. Kendrick says one of the men caught a glimpse of two “‘eights’’ as he “laid down.” Both were diamonds. Sergeant Ralph Dean, in the course of events, was called to the home. He said Carter was drunk. Carter charged he’d been robbed of his gun and his purse. The sergeant haid the purse had been returned to him. Carter was brought to police headquarters. His gun, returned to police, was kept and Carter was suspended by Major Herbert Fletcher. Carter has been under suspension before because of trouble, Major Fletcher said. .

They are two Negro brothers, Charles ' and Theodore Taylor, of 1510 Olive street, who face charges of soliciting money on the streets in violation of a city ordinance.

INDIANAPOLIS, MONDAY, AUGUST 3, 1931

CITY TO SEEK CUT IN HUGE UTIUTY BILLS Sullivan Calls Conference With Power, Light and Water Companies. , OPPOSES WAGE SLASH Mayor Against Proposal to Reduce Pay of Police and Firemen. Opposing suggestions for police and fire department salary cuts as a means of reducing taxes, Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan this afternoon was to confer with representatives of the Indianapolis Power and. Light Company in an effort to reduce the enormous municipal power and light bills. In announcing the conference, Sullivan said a parley also will be held immediately with Indianapolis Water Company representatives to seek water bill reductions. The city’s water and light bills annually total nearly $1,000,000, Sullican pointed out. The city is buying electricity under a ten-year contract signed in 1925 in the last part of the Shank administration. Rates paid by the city are considerably higher than those paid by local industries and other large electricity consumers, Sullivan said he has been informed. No Adjustment Made The light contract contains a sliding scale rate based on prices of coal and other commodities, but no adjustment has been made since the more prosperous days when the contract was executed, city officials point out. The city has no contract with the water company, operating under rates fixed by the public service commission. Water costs the city approximately $120,000 every three months, while electricity bills aggregate $500,000 a year. In addition to Sullivan and the light company representatives, the meeting this afternoon will be attended by representatives of the city legal department, works board members, City Controller William L. Elder and Jackiel W. Joseph, park board president. Tax Cut Needed The meeting today merely is a preliminary step in an effort to reduce the city’s oppressive utility bills, it was pointed out. “Because of business conditions, it is necessary to reduce taxes,” Sullivan said. "However, because some departments this year are operating partly on balances which they will not have for next year, and because of reduced revenue other than the levy, it is possible that a levy increase will be necessary, despite a city budget decrease. “I feel that it is better to seek a saving in utility bills, to which the city is entitled, than to attempt to cut the already low salaries of policemen and firemen, who daily risk their lives.” Sullivan explained he was making no criticism of salary adjustments proposed in the sanitary department. Situation Is Different “The sanitary board, in a way, is an industry, manufacturing and selling by-products, and to meet competition of similar industries, must pay salaries and wages comparable with other industries,” he said. “Wages proposed by one member of the board (B. J. T. Jeup) as a minimum are equal to those paid by the county for similar work and higher than are paid by private local industries for such work. “In addition, workers in the sanitary department have the advantage of steady work, less affected by administration changes, and their work is less hazardous.” LLOYD.

thick, which breathes with a lung." The story of its development, according to Dr. Raymond L. Ditmars, curator of reptiles at the zoo, goes back about six and a quarter eons ago this coming Labor day, when some radicals among the fish devised a five-year plan for evoluting into land animals because there seemed to be little, if any, future in the ocean. These radicals ignored the advice of their conservative brethren, and departed, with them the lepidosiren.

Lane, native Hoosier, who wrote the so-called Indiana prison report for the Wickersham commission. Hits War Record “It seems strange that you would accept the criticism of these unAmericans,” he told The Tiirtes reporter. “You would better look up Lane’s record during the war.” It was pointed out that Lane, as an investigator for the Wickersham commission, has the approval of President Hoover, who sponsorsed the investigation and report. Leslie said he had no comment to make on whether he would advocate or oppose wage cutting of employes as a general state policy. Won’t Answer Telegram Telegrams protesting action of police at Gary Saturday night in arresting unemployment demonstrators will remain unanswered, “as that is a local matter,” the Governor declared. The Governor stopped at; his office en route from the Dunes State park, where he is vacationing with his family, to Camp Knox, Ky., where he will-be guest of honor Tuesday, to inspect the Indiana national guard.

HOOVER, DOAK DISCUSS UNEMPLOYMENT RELIEF Labor Secretary Spends Week-End With President at Rapidan. By United Press WASHINGTON. Aug. 3.—The unemployment outlook for the winter was discussed by President Hoover over the week-end with Secretary of Labor W. N. Doak. The secretary was a guest at the Rapidan camp, from which Mr. Hoover was returning today. Doak recently reorganized tne federal system of employment bureaus. It was reported Mr J Hoover devoted much of his conference with Doak to the question of bringing this service to its maximum efficiency. The seriousness of unemployment among older men was shown in a report issued by the census bureau which said one of every four of the unemployed in 1930 was past the age of 48. LOAN RELIEVES LONDON Credit Extension to Bank of England Expected to Steady Pound. By United Press LONDON, Aug. 3.—Widespread relief was apparent in London today after the agreement by the Bank of England, the federal reserve bank of the United States and the Bank of France.

The weather man received the blessings of more than three million Hoosiers today as they climbed from beds to find ten degrees sliced from the near-record thermometer readings of last week. Long overdue, relief from the stifling heat wave of last week will continue at least until Tuesday, the weather bureau here forecast today. The heat wave was broken here about 9 Sunday night, when clouds that had been bunching most of the day collected and spread showers over virtually the whole city. Heaviest rainfall was believed to have been in the northern part of town, while in the eastern sections there was little or no rain. However, the general condition of rains cooled all sections. At the weather bureau .06 inch of rain was recorded. At 6 this morning the thermometer at the weather bureau registered 70 degrees, while last week at that hour the readings were from 7 to 9 degress higher. Alp. m. the mercury had climbed to 78 degrees, 15 degrees lower than the usual mark for that hour during the heat wave. J. H. Armington, senior meteorologist at the bureau, this morning admitted possibility of a return of high temperatures after Tuesday. The mercury is on another spree in the northwest, and may renew its unpleasant performance here later this week.

By United Press CHURCHILL, Manitoba, Aug. 3.—The cheers of hardy woodsmen acclaimed Colonel and Mrs. Charles A. Lindbergh today as they visited this Hudson bay shore village, just one of the many stopping places on their dangerous 7,000-mile vacation flight from Washington to Japan. Flying on schedule despite unfavorable weather, the colonel and his wife landed their pontoon-equipped mono-, plane on the choppy waters of the bay at 5:50 p. m. Sunday,, and, after a tumultuous greeting from the traders and trappers, settled down for the night in George Kydd’s bachelor; cottage.

The Lindberghs had flown 750 miles from Moose factory since 9a. m. Both smiled as the 1,200 residents of the village swarmed in canoes about the monoplane while it rode the harbor waves.

Mrs. Lindbergh remained in the cockpit of the plane for more than an hour, while her methodical husband made detailed plans for refueling and took all possible precautions against a dangerous riptide which twice has carried planes to destruction in the harbor here. Pose for Photographers Neither of the famous flying couple objected to posing for amateur photographers and both were in the best of humor. Lindbergh remarked it had been a fine trip from Moose Factory, where they landed on schedule Sunday, although radio communications were such that the landing was not reported for many hours. Col. Lindbergh told reporters they would leave today for Baker Lake, a town 390 miles to the north, from which their uncharted air trail will turn sharply westward toward the town of Aklavik, up near the Arctic ocean. He arose at 6:30 and started inspection of the plane. At Aklavik the Western Canada Airways was reported concentrating its fleet of powerful pontoonequipped planes to hold them in readiness for a great search in case the Lindberghs are forced down somewhere in the Arctic wastes of which only these men of the northland know the dangers. Face Risks on Route While recognizing the flying ability of Lindbergh, pilots of the northland know from their own experiences the risks which the colonel and his wife are facing and were prepared to lend every assistance possible in case of emergency. The Lindberghs, with the famods husband doing most of the piloting and Mrs. Lindbergh doing the radio operating, flew Saturday from Ottawa to Moose Factory, averaging well over 100 miles an hour, despite imperfect weather. When they were unheard from for hours, due to the fact that their receiving radio station was shut down and Mrs. Lindbergh was not sending, some worries were felt in quarters not thoroughly familiar with the country and plans for the flight. They took off from Moose Factory at 9 Sunday morning, after being entertained by the manager of the Hudson Bay Company and after Colonel Lindbergh, with his usual attention to details, refueled the plane unassisted. Couriers brought back word that he waded barefoot in the cold water about the plane to fill the pontoon tanks for the flight to Churchill. Wife Enjoys Scenery Coming from Moose Factory here, the couple flew along the bay shore, past and over countless sparkling minor lakes and mile upon mile of virgin forest. Mrs. Lindbergh described it as “thrilling," said upon arrival here that she was ‘‘enjoying the whole trip immensely," and added with a smile Uiat they “hoped” to reach Japan. During the first hour after landing here, Mrs. Lindbergh acknowledged most of the plaudits of the northmen, while the colonel busied himself making preparations for to(Tum to Face 11}
