FATE OF AIL EUROPE RESTS , ON HITLERISM Destiny of Continent May Be Decided Within Twelve Months. IT IS TOUCH AND GO Imperialistic Policy Has France Keeping Wary Eye on Germany. BY' WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS ScrlpDs-lloward Foreirn Editor MUNICH, Aug. 26—Here, in a room the color of bright, warm blood in a yellow building facing Brienner Strasser at No. 43, the destiny of Germany and of Europe may be decided within the next twelve months. Munich is the capital of the Fascist chief, Adolpf Hitler, whom Prince August Wilhelm, fourth son of the former kaiser, called “God’s gift to the fatherland.” The yellow building is the Gho of the national Socialist German workers party, or Fascists, and the bright red room is the chamber of the inner council where Hitler and his chiefs of staff meet in times of crises to plan their moves. It’s Touch and Go Today it is touch and go with the German republic. The crisis, it is believed, will come this winter. And it may well be that the stand of the Hitlerites and the nationalists that side with him may tip the scales shaping European history for decades to come. I visited the red chamber, rarely entered by outsiders. It is one of the most striking I ever saw. It is almost square, with a high ceiling. It will seat about eighty people. The walls are of red brierwood, beautifully paneled with inlays of lighter and darker reds. The floors are thickly carpeted in red and the seats, arranged horseshoefashion about three sides of tl>* room, three rows deep, rise in three tiers. Each row, therefore, occupies a tier to itself. All Is in Red The seat frames, like the room, are square. They are done in lacquer red and the upholstery is in rich red morocco. At the closed end of the amphitheater stands a table made of a wood similar to the wall paneling and by it is a crimson chair. It is the “chief’s” —for Hitler, like Benito Mussolini, the Italian duce —is called “Chief” by his followers. Above the table and behind the chair where Hitler sits, is a great splash of black and gold—a striking mosaic, some six feet by ten, set in the wall. The black is an enormous Reich eagle fiercely clawing against a golden background. Above the eagle are six historic dates. They are: 1919 (party founded); 1920 (chartered); 1923 (the famous “beer hall putsch,” which sent several Fascists to their death. Hitler to prison and broke up the party); 1925 (reorganization); 1929 (Nuremburg demonstration), and 1930, date of the elections which gave the Fascists 107 seats in the Reichstag. He Is Not a German Strangely enough, the occupant of the red chair by the red table in the red room of the yellow building in Brienner Strasser, the man who aspires to rule Germany, is not a German. The son of a petty Austrian customs official. Hitler early came to hate the dual monarchy of AustroHungary because to him it represented not a nation, but a number of nationalities held together by force. So, when the war came he refused to serve with the Austrian army. Instead he joined the Bavarians across the border in Germany. Automatically, therefore. he ceased to be Austrian without becoming German and. after the beer hall revolt, the German government refused to grant him citizenship. Today he is literally a man without a country. Practical and Impractical The program of the Hitlerites contains twenty-five points, a number of them have to do with scrapping reparations and the treaty of Versailles. Others demand the nationalization of key industries; better distribution of profits; better care of the old, infirm and children; confiscation of unearned income; death to usurers and profiteers and the confiscation of war profits; educational reform, and more or less control over the press. It is a composite of capitalism, communism and socialism, of the practical and the impractical, admittedly designed to - , -**e a greater Deutschland than ever on top of the European world—a program which is causing France to keep an uneasy, but extremely vigilant watch on the Rhine.

WILD FOWL SEASON CUT TO ONE MONTH

On His Toes An auto thief is free today to try to steal again, because a toe collided with a chair. A. V. Sholty, 2425 North Pennsylvania street, Tuesday night heard the whir of the starter on his car that wa? parked in the garage. He groped his way toward a window in the lightless room, but before he reached his goal, he stubbed his toe on a chair. Sholty, like most people whe stub toes in the dark, had quite a bit to say and turned on the light to inspect the damage to the pedal extremity. This was enough for the thief. He fled.

DEATH CLAIMS NOTEDWRITER Frank Harris, Author, Editor, Passes at Cannes. By United Press NEW YORK, Aug. 26.—Frank Harris, editor, author and confident of many of the most brilliant literary figures of the past century, died last night at Nice, France, according to word received here today by Simon and Shuster, publishers. Harris, himself one of the most noted writers of his age, was born in Galway, Ireland, in 1854. A naturalized citizen of the United States in his youth, he returned to England to become editor of the Evening News and the Fortnightly Review, later obtaining control of the Saturday Review. In late years he has been a prominent member of the expatriate colony in France, and suffered many financial reverses. His aging figure was to be seen, night after night, at the dome case, in Paris, where he was the center of the so-called “artistic crowd.” Considerable notoriety was attached to the recent publication abroad of “My Life and Loves,” an intimate, all-revealing biography in which Harris went into details of his “friendship” for many women—some’of them of note. The book was barred for sale in the United States and thousands of volumes were confiscated. LESLIE APPOINTS TWO Names Peru Woman to Board Post; Fills Hospital Trusteeship. Mrs. Ecwin F.

ATTACKED BY DOG, SUES FOR $50,000

A bouncing German police dog owned by Elnora C. Haag and Herbert L. Haag, 2859 North Meridian street, who bounced into George Philip Meier, manager of the dressmaking department of L. S. Ayres <Ssf Cos., resulting in hip injuries, caused a suit of $50,000 damages to be filed today in superior court five. Meier alleged in the suit that on May 29, the dog dashed upon him as he passed the Haag residence and knocked him to the pavement. He charged the dog was vicious and was not confined to a leash at the time of the accident. Meier asks judgment to cover hospital expense for loss of time in his occupation as stylist of the department store. He declared in the petition for damages that he was injured at the time of the year when his firm planned to send him on his yearly

President’s Proclamation to Conserve Game Hurt by Drought. By United Press WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 26. Wild fowl hunters in Indiana and all other nothern states will be restricted this fall to a season of but one, instead of three months, on proclamaton of President Hoover to preserve migratory game birds. The restriction covers the entire country, and it was learned on good authority here today that it is expected to be duplicated hi Canada. In the northern United States, where the open season on ducks, geese, brant, coot, jacksnipe, etc., has been, almost universally, from Oct. 1 to Jan. 15, the season this fall will close Oct. 31. The President’s proclamation, which also included Alaska, is in the form of an amendment to the migratory bird treaty act, and was issued on recommendation of the department of agriculture. It is understood to have almost unanimous support of game conservation organizations. The department of agriculture predicted that due to disastrous conditions in waterfowl breeding grounds because of the drought, flights of duck and geese this fall will be the poorest on record. A serious shortage of birds already has been observed in the drought regions. RECEIVES PURDUE GIFT Hoover Presented Ten Pounds of Ice Cream by Will Wood.

INDIANAPOLIS, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 26,1931

BY CARLOS LANE LIFE dawned for Emil Fertig not beyond the horizon of a lace-strewn cradle, but down third bose line with two down, three and two on the home town batter, and the bases full. Nor was his initial whoop the normal infantile shriek for nourishment, but an age-old derision at a rival pitcher: “Nothin’ on it but a prayer! Ya couldn’t fan yer face.” Or so it seems, at least, today as Fertig looks back the long avenue from the twilight of his 76 years along which shines with his other great devotions, an ardor for the national pastime that long ago earned for him the imperial scepter as king of the rooters. Paints and painting were his business—the Fertig firm was established by his father here eighty-three years ago—but like most men with a hobby, while he watched his commercial enterprise diligently he pursued his avocation, ba. c . jail, passionately. an n FERTIG remembers baseball here in 1865 when the Indianapolis nine met all invaders in a lot on Virginia avenue where such hickory and horsehide greats as Aquilla and Ben Jones thrilled the paying and the knot-hole customers. It was as one of the latter, chiefly, that the young Emil watched his first games there and at South and Delaware streets, where Indianapolis’ first organized club played some years later. Emil turned the oppression of a job his father gave him into pleasure. “I had to drive a paint wagon,” he said. “I hid one of the ladders under some freight cars by the ball park, and when there were games we kids put the ladder on the wagon against the fence and had our own bleachers.” An inconsiderate railroad, not a jerky horse that bolted on day and threw the pack of boys overboard, put an end to this knothole bleacher row “The freight cars where we hid the ladder pulled away, and the

SCAN GANNON'S BANK NGURES Personal Account Studied by Nye Probers. By United Press WASHINGTON, Aug. 26—Records of the personal bank account of Bishop James Cannon Jr. were produced today before the senate campaign fund committee which is endeavoring to determine Cannon’s disposition of funds contributed to his anti-Smith campaign in 1928. Senator Dill (Dem., Wash.) said the account evidently was a depositary for political contributions. John A. Booker, cashier of the Blackstone (Va.) Citizens Bank and Trust Company, who produced the records, disagreed with him. Dill called attention to a deposit of S2OO on Sept. 24, 1928, and cited a contribution of S2OO by Raymond Robins on that date to the antiSmith Democratic organization. C. B. Stevens, a Charlottesville (Va.) clothier, identified a check of $2,400.33 bearing his endorsement which he testified represented the clearing up of the estate of Mary Champ Moore of which Cannon was executor. Robert H. McNeil, counsel for Cannon, protested such evidence Tad nothing to do with the case, but Nye told him the committee would pursue this line of inquiry, is it was “a part of a juggling of funds” by Bishop Cannon. POOR AID ORDERED Trustee Alleged to Have Denied Jobless Man Help. By Times Special SOUTH BEND, Ind., Aug. 26.—St. Joseph county commissioners have ordered Moine Clymer, Harris township trustee, to extend poor relief to Lester Head, his wife and two children, following filing of a suit by Head in which he charged the trustee refused aid. Head, who has not been employed since March, alleges that the trustee not only refused to give him a food order, but also denied him an opportunity to woriTfor such an order. He has been a resident of the township eight years. Only one year’s residence is required to qualify for receiving help from the poor fund.

‘WITCH OF DELRAY’ HELD IN TEN DEATHS

Insurance Plot Is Scented; Negro Tells of Hush Money Promise.

By United Press DETROIT, Aug. 26.—Mrs. Rose Veres, 48, today was held incommunicado while police delved into the mysterious deaths of ten men, three of them her husbands, who have died at her home under strange circumstances. Finding of insurance policies totaling $1,568 in her favor carried by Steve Mak, 50, a roomer who died in receiving hospital Tuesday, presumably of injuries in a fall, led to detention of the withered woman, known as the “witch of Delray.” John Walker, a Negro, who testified he saw Mak’s fatal plunge, said Mrs. Veres told him that she, her son, and another roomer beat Mak in the basement of the house and carried him to the attic and threw him out. Walker said that Mrs. Veres explained that police never would know what occurred, because a ladder standing below the window would make it appear Mak fell. “She promised me SSOO if I wouldn’t tell anybody,” Walker added. Six years ago Mrs. Veres was questioned when two of her boarder died of alcohol poisoning. Two years later, according to her attorney, Mrs..Veres was in custody when her last husband, a boarder, died of carbon monoxide gas in an automobile in the rear of the Veres home. Deaths of five other boarders also have occurred in the home, two of them apparently hanging themselves. The fact that Mrs. Veres is believed to have paid for the insurances of the men in which she was named beneficiary has caused the police to make a thorough examination. YUGOSLAVS HONOR DEAN WITH MEDAL Texas University Official Given Symbol of Appreciation. By United Press AUSTIN, Tex., Aug. 26.—Dean T. U. Taylor of the University of Texas has been given a silver med*. by the society of the Red Cross of Yugo-Slavia, in recognition of his kindness to students from that 1 country since the World war. A score of Yugoslav youths, many of whom were penniless and could not speak English, enrolled in the University of Texas engineering school, Dean Taylor’s department, following the war. Dean Taylor extended them many courtesies.

L. E. York, superintendent of the Indiana Anti-Saloon League, stated he was on hand at the last session and noticed no drunks, but wasn’t there when the Wright law was passed, and could not say as to the sobriety of those supporting it. “I was present until 2 a. m., the last night of the 1931 session,” York asserted.

Illness caused a heart disease, and a doctor has warned him that the last Great Umpire is waiting to call the third strike if he overexerts or becomes overexcited. “Can’t I go even if I don’t root?” he asked the doctor. And the doctor shook his head. BUT go he will. He knows the heart will stand it once in a while, and the road to Washington park is a tempter he can not resist. One game he will attend, heart or no heart. That will be the day the Indians play the Louisville Colonels in the new Perry stadium. The stadium is the rea’ization of his brightest, and perhaps his last great dream for “my boys,” the Indians. Keep him away Sept. 5? Never. The king still sits on his throne. His arm is weak, but his scepter is still supreme.

SAFETY RALLY PLANSDRAWN Ministers to Aid 2-Day PreSchool Program. Pastors of all churches in Indianapolis and Marion county are urped by sponsors of the city-wide safety rally to make announcement from their pulpits Sunday morning about the safety program at Garfield park Sunday afternoon and to stress the need. for greater caution in traffic with the opening of the schools. Sponsors of the two-day rally include the Hoosier Motor Club, the police department, citizens safety committee, and city, county, state and school officials. “There were 32,500 fatalities in 1930 and 960,000 motor injuries, Todd Stoops, secretary-manager of the Hoosier Motor Club and one of the general chairmen of the rally committee, declared today. “There were 122.5 deaths to every 100,000 vehicles registered.” Stoops advocates legislation which will eliminate from the streets the reckless driver and the automobile which mechanically is unfit to drive. He believes that after the driver’s responsibility law goes into effect Oct. 1, accidents will decrease.

OXNAM’S FOES FORM TO OUST DE PAUW CHIEF Trustees Are Sent Article Branding President as Red Sympathizer. EDDY CONNECTION CITED Part in Soviet Conference Revealed in Effort to Discredit Educator. Renewed effort to oust Dr. G. Bromley Oxnam from the presidency of De Pauw university will be made* when he returns from Europe this fall, it was indicated by mail received by certain De Pauw trustees today. The mail consisted of a reprint of a story made by The National Republic Magazine, designed to rearouse antagonism against Oxnam as an alleged Red sympathizer. Originally the story was published in the Ft. Wayne News-Sentinel under a Washington date line of Aug. 17, that paper being one of the more militant anti-Oxnamites. Edited by Hoosicr The National Republic magazine is edited at Washington by George Lockwood, Hoosier Republican lead|er from Muncie. It is filled with anti-red ‘ articles and one time launched a drive for funds to put down the reds in America. Senator James E. Watson was one of the first to support the move, but it was laughed out of effectiveness at Washington and elsewhere. The article received by the trustees is headed “Oxnam Visits Soviet Russia,” and “De Pauw Head at Conference as Member of Party of Sherwood Eddy, Socialist Leader.”

Long “Y” Worker Eddy spent a lifetime with the Y. M. C. A. and turned Socialist a year ago, after his retirement from active Y service. The story, designed to label Oxnam as a Red sympathizer, follows: "Dr. G. Bromley Oxnam, president of De Pauw university, Greencastle, Ind., was a recent visitor to Soviet Russia to attend a five-day conference of lectures and discussions led by Soviet officials, according to Dr. Frederick W. Roman, founder and director of the ‘Parliament of Men,’ a pro-Soviet organization of Los Angeles. “Dr. Roman stated in a letter from Moscow to community forums throughout this country, under date of July 1, that Dr. Oxnam wold arrive in Moscow as a member of a party conducted by Sherwood Eddy, Socialist. “Eddy is a former Y. M. C. A. leader, who last fall announced his withdrawal from official Y activity to engage in campaign work as a Socialist leader. He delivered a series of lectures at De Pauw university. Contended Excursions “He is on close terms with Soviet leaders and has conducted a number cf excursions to Soviet Russia, on which he was once before accompanied by President Oxnam. “Other members of the Eddy party are reported to include Senator Hendrick Shipstead, Minnesota, an advocate of Soviet recognition; Dr. John Hayne Holmes, wellknown radical clergyman, and others identified with the liberal and radical movement. “The De Pauw president’s visit to Russia this time may come as a surprise in -Indiana, since he announced before his departure that he was off for a trip to Germany and England. No announcement was made that his itinerary would include another visit to Sovietland. “While in Russia, President Oxnam was expected to join his brother, an engineer employed by the Soviet government. Oxnam was duo to arrive in Moscow July 28, according to Roman.” HEIRESS TO MILLIONS, COLLEGE BOY ELOPE Whipple Van Ness Jones and Mary McCullough on Honeymoon.
