POLITICIAN SHOT IN RUM PARTY AT GIRL'S ROOM New Jersey State Senator in Critical Condition; Blond Is Held. liy United Preen NEW YORK, Aug. 14.—Senator Roy T. Yates, one of the youngest inembers of the New Jersey legislature, and. prominent as a clubman, broker and banker, was shot and critically wounded early today in the elaborately furnished apartment here of Miss Ruth Jayne, an attractive blond. Three hours after the politician was taken to a hospital in a private ambulance, police were notified of the shooting. Six hours later police knew little more of the incident than they did when Detective James Cotter entered Miss Jayne’s apartment. Miss Jayne, who had changed from her pajamas into a small red ensemble, set off with a brown turban, brown stockings and highheeled brown slippers, at first refused even to speak when taken to the police station. Goes Into Hysterics Finally, in answer to a question, 6he blurted in French: "Je ne comprends pas.” •‘You wouldn't tell me in French that you didn’t understand just to kid me, would you?” Inspector Kear demanded. “Why not?” she asked in English, and immediately became hysterical again. All she would say was that some one had choked her and that she did not remember anything after that. She maintained she had not even heard a shot and when shown a .25-caliber pistol found in the court yard, directly below her bedroom window, said she never had seen it. Five Shells Found Detectives found five cartridge shells in the bedroom of Miss Jayne’s apartment. They could locate only the marks of two bullets on the walls. One of the five was lodged in the senator’s abdomen. After Senator Yates had been operated on, Inspector Kear interviewed him and obtained a “rather complete statement,” which he turned over to Thomas Kane, acting district attorney. “All I can say at this time is that Senator Yates went to Miss Jayne’s apartment early Thursday night and that there had been some drinking,” Kear said, adding that the condition of the furniture indicated there had been a struggle. Yates, whose home is in Paterson, N. J., is married and the father of three daughters. He was elected to the state senate for a three-year term in 1927 and re-elected last year. He is also a vice-president of the Lincoln Trust Company of Paterson, and a vice-president of the Investing Corporation of America.

JUDGE GIVES AGED WOMAN JAIL TERM

Sheaffer meted out a thirty-day sentence and SIOO fine to Mrs. Martha Glasspol.* The 73-year-old widow, who lives at 1906 North Emerson avenue, and who operates a chicken dinner place at the location, appealed the case to criminal court. She was the only one of several liquor defendants against whojn the court permitted judgment to stand. Others were freed of counts, or judgment withheld. In a previous hearing last week, Edward Dietz, attorney for Mrs. Glasspol, charged in court that police were involved in the alleged frameup. Charges Not Reiterated These charges were not reiterated today and some witnesses did not appear in court. Others, however, claimed that as regular visitors to the place they never had seen liquor served, and had not seen Mrs. Glasipol distribute intoxicants the night of the raid. Dietz charged liquor was brought into the place In an attempt to discredit further testimony of Mrs. Glasspol in criminal court when she appeared against a youth alleged to have been one of two bandits who robbed and beat her, June 16.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

BUS PETITION DRAWS IRE OF NORTH-SIDERS Smith faces Defeat on One of Three Proposed New Lines. Three bus line petitions of Logan J. Smith were heard by the works board today, and against one of them so many protests were lodged there seemed little chance of its sanction, although the board took the petition under advisement. Smith wanted to run a line from Monument Circle to Capitol avenue and north to Thirty-fourth street and vicinity and return. Representatives from Methodist and St. Vincent’s hospital, from the Butler Fairview Civic League and from the park board spoke against the plan. Fifty south side women appeared before the board to urge they grant permission to Smith to operate a line from Monument Circle on Meridian to South street, east to State avenue, and south to Naomi street and return. They said the line would facilitate transportation of children to high schools. The third petition, unheard by the board until later today was for a line east from the Circle to Arsenal avenue and return. The board adopted a resolution for resurfacing of East Georgia street from East to Noble streets, at a cost of $3,476. In New York state no fewer than one in every twenty-two persons becomes, at some time in his life, a patient in an institution for the mentally ill.
