DIESEL ENGINE : OF NEW TYPE WILL BE MADE Columbus Plant Will Produce Unit for Bus and Truck Use. JS U Times Special COLUMBUS, Ind., Aug. 22. Within six months, it is expected the plant of the Cummins Engine Company here will be producing Diesel engines for trucks and busses, according to Clessie L. Cummins, . president, who a week ago today completed a transcontinental trip in a Diesel powered truck for which the fuel cost was only $11.22. Cummins’ announcement is in direct contradiction of one a few days previously by the Indiana Truck Corporation of Marion, to the effect that Diesel engines for busses and trucks would be turned out by Oct. 1. He pointed out that his factory has not as yet produced any engines of that type, as the truck used in the cross-country trip had an engine of marine type. The trip was 'made for the purpose of ascertaining what changes would be necessary for truck and bus use. Drawings for the new engine are nearly completed. Within ninety days it is expected the first machine will be on the testing block at the Cummins plant. After being run -on the block, it will be placed in a truck for further testing. Two or three months will be required for this work, Cummins estimates. FOUR BANK ROBBERS STILL ELUDE PURSUERS .

PRISONER RELATES WEIRD LIFE STORY

Man Surrenders to Police at Anderson With Tale of Many Crimes. By United Press ANDERSON, Ind., Aug. 22.—Deciding to square accounts with the law after twelve years of violating it, Cornelius Mcßeavy, 41, surrendered to Anderson police. He told an amazing tale of swindles, frauds and check forgeries which netted him many thousands of dollars and said the law never was close to him. t Ralph Rich, captain of detectives, has checked a s part of Mcßeavy s story and found that much of. it is true .Inquiries have been sent to all of the pfoces where the man says he operated and replies are being awaited. Although satisfied that Mcßeavy is telling the truth, Rich is dubious as to the motive that caused McReavy to surrender. Rich believes Mcßeavy is either wanted for murder and wishes to remain in hiding or was identified with Chicago gangsters. Admits Deserting Army A telegram from army authorities confirmed Mcßeavy’s admission that he deserted July 29, 1919, while stationed at aviation field. Riverside, Cal. The army has no record of Mcßeavy having embezzled a S6O officers’ mess fund and theft of pay checks issued to three fellow soldiers, The checks were cashed at Venice, o*l. At Seattle Mcßeavy adopted the alias of Paul E. Barry and with a partner organized what was known as the Great Northern Fur Farms, 111'’. He cleaned up between $3 000 and $4,000 on a swindle, cashed bogus checks in the amount of S3OO and fled. He worked as head waiter in the Congress hotel at St. Louis as Paul Burns. He overdrew his bank account S2OO and passed bad checks before leaving St. Louis. Posing as Ray Barnes he operated a meat market at Graywen, Okla., disappearing after leaving a bank-in the lurch for about SSOO. Mcßeavy, now Paul B. Kvne, says he was married to Jewlin Ansbeck, a wealthy young woman, at Easton, Pa., where he was employed by the Delaware Water Gap Fox farm and associated with aristocratic persons. After eighteen months’ residence at Easton he obtained SI,OOO from his brother-in-law on a fox deal and, deserting his wife, went to New York. Sold Stolen Machines He worked for the Charles Heath Company, makers of meat block leveling machines in New York. One night he returned to the plant, stole three machines valued at $1,200. and hauled them away in a taxicab. He sold the machines in Chicago, which was his next stopping place. Going to Waterville, Me., McReavy assumed the alias of Paul Burke and started a silver fox farm. He sold a pair of foxes to a corporation executive. While caring for the animals he resold them several times, realizing from $1,500 to $2,000 on each deal. He loafed around Indianapolis two weeks before coming to Anderson. “Money was always easy for me to get,” says Mcßeavy. “People seemed to trust me. I saw a chance to make a few thousand at Indianapolis, but passed it up. Most of the money was spent in riotous living. I liked to take a woman companion on a tour of the cabarets.” Mcßeavy is well dressed and educated. He says he was bom in Utah.

ATTORNEY FEES IN ROAD GASES CAUSE THREAT Vanderburg County Bond Issues May Be Banned, Official Warns. By Times Special EVANSVILLE. Ind., Aug. 22.-, Warned by Phili Zoercher, state tax commission member, that unless attorney fees charged in road build, ing projects financed by bond issues are curbed, the state may interfere. Vanderburg; offlcikls are giving ear to plans for lesser charges. Appearing before the county commissioners, Norman Kniese. secretary of the Evansville tax conference committee, pfcposed a flat attorney fee of $250 for each project. He cited figures showing that attorneys had been paid a total of $6,303 for six projects. Attorney Protests Kniese's reduction plan brought a protest from James F. Ensie, an. attorney. He said the tax committee had not filed a p<ptest against improving Walnut street, despite the fact there are only seven homes on the thoroughfare, and was silent when Morgan avenue was improved for the benefit of some factories. The committee secretary countered by saying that the body had not been fully organized at the time the bond issues for the work were floated, but admitted “we went ta sleep on the Walnut street improvement.” Fees Called Outrageous Zoercher declared that continuance of the high fee policy will result in the state board refusing permission for future bond issues. “Attorney fees allowed here in the past have been outrageous,” Zoercher said. “I understand one attorney has gotten rich off road feesi and virtually does no other work. It has been brought to the board's attention that besides collecting from the county, he also collects from the petitioners for getting a, road through.” SCHOOL BUS CONTRACTS COURT ACTION TARGETS Setting Aside of Five Sought in Suit at Anderson.
