MAYOR DOUBTS IF ANY IN CITY ‘WENTJjUNGRY' That’s Recommendation of ‘Made Work’ Given to Wisconsin Visitors. “I don’t think anyone in Indianapolis went hungry last winter.” This asurance of the success of Indianapolis’s relief work to the needy was sounded today by Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan to members of a committee from Racine, Wis., who are here to study Indianapolis poor-aid relief methods. Members of the Racine committee are Mayor William Swobode; .7. B. Farmer, parks superintendent; J. R. Starbuck, publisher; Joseph Redler, president of a business men’s organization, and Robert Foster, member of the association. C. of C. Officials Attend City and Chamber of Commerce officials and operators of the “made work” program in the city, attended the conference. Sullivan and other speakers pointed out that co-operation of city employes, organized relief agencies, the American Legion, township trustees, and other groups had brought success in the Indianapolis campaign. Members of the Racine group said they did not know whether the “made work” plan would operate successfully there because of the smaller population, which totals 60,000 and the possibility of union differences. They were told that the unions here had co-operated, a member of a leading union having been appointed to the relief committee. Had 35,000 Jobless Indianapolis, according to figures presented, has 35,000 jobless who must depend on charity for food, clothing and housing. It was pointed out that the Center township trustees’ office had handled as many as 9,000 families needing relief, but this number had dwindled to 3,400 during the summer. Walter Clarke, attorney for the Center township trustee, told Mayor Swoboda that people in Indianapolis “cried for work.” “They don’t want charity, and if they get work, they’ll take it gladly,” he said. The program “made work” by which food and money were supplied after sixteen hours work each week. Francis Coleman, deputy controller, in charge of city employes’ poor relief, said much foodstuffs was donated by market stand operators, and bread and milk companies.

WIN FIERCE DUEL WITH GIANT SHARK

Man-Eater Rips Hole in Skiff as Pair Fight Desperately. By United Press SEA BRIGHT, N. J., Aug. 28.—A thrilling encounter with a blue nose shark was described today by two Seabright fishermen who barely prevented the infuriated man-eater from sinking their skiff. Nelson Jacobson, chief of police, and Commodore Franklin Covert, the fishermen, were reeling in a seven-pound blue fish when the shark made a lunge for it, missed and struck its head on the boat splitting the planking near the stern. Covert attempted to plug the hole with his oilers, but water poured through. Jacobson vainly tried to maneuver the skiff out of the path of the shark which, cutting the water at terrific speed, flung itself against the other side of the boat.

Approximately 100 men will be benefited by the plan in Indianapolis, according to J. Frank McCormick, chairman of the local Big Four branch. The plan will become effective Sept. 1. Temporary regulations, adopted at the national convention recently, limit monthly mileages of members of the brotherhood as follows: Regular passenger trainmen and exclusive extra passenger trainmen, 5,500 miles; other extra passenger trainmen, 4,500 miles; regular freight trainmen, 3,500 miles, and extra freight trainmen, 3,000 miles. Regular yard trainmen and switch tenders, under the plan, will work twenty-six days a month. Twenty-four days per month will be the maximum for extra yard trainmen.

James Demetrius and Miss Vera Popcheff, in charge of the playground. are staging the pageant with the aid of Miss Margaret Yule, assistant director of the settlement.

Meeks was arrested on charges of reckless driving, failure to stop at a preferential street and assault and battery. In an auto-truck collision at Raymond and Harding streets Thursday night, Mrs. Virgil Alford, 19, of 1433 Kennington street, sustained a fractured shoulder and bruises. Mrs. Alford was riding in a truck with her husband, and the car was driven by Ivan Grimm, 36, of 847 River avenue. Mrs. Amelia Spencer, 51, of Greenwood, sustained back and neck injuries when the car in which she was riding was struck by a truck at Sherman drive and English avenue.

As it struck Jacobson drove a harpoon deep into its side. The eleven and a half foot fish went mad with pain and for more than an hour towed the skiff in a circle with such speed that it took all their seamanship to avoid being swamped. Water was pouring in through the hole despite the oilskin plug and the men were miles from shore. Finally the shark tired and was drawn near the boat where another harpoon was driven into it. Jacobson then leaned over the side and ended the battle with several stabs.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

WOMAN DEFIES BISHOP CANNON CASEJ’ROBERS Refuses to Answer Queries About Handling of Campaign Funds. By United Pres* WASHINGTON, Aug. 28.—The senate’s pursuit of information as to Bishop James Cannon Jr.’s 3928 campaign against Governor Alfred E. Smith today ran smack against a plump, stubborn little woman who would not answer questions. The senate campaign fund committee investigating Cannon’s receipts and expenditures during the anti-Smith campaign had encountered the woman, Miss Ada L. Burroughs, before. On May 7 she appeared and refused to testify. The committee was deferent to Miss Burroughs today. Photographers Banned Photographers were instructed not to take her picture. She, was seated comfortably in the witness chair. But she was as determined as ever to ignore the committee, the senate, and the fact that her refusal In allegedly in contempt of the senate. “What are you going to do about it?” Nye was asked after Miss Burroughs had appeared and refused to answer questions. “I can not say,” replied, the senator. “No member of the committee can say that.” Miss Burroughs read a statement to the committee which said she would give no evidence. Senator Wagner (Dem., N. Y.) plied her with questions. She would not reply, even when Wagner asked if she was a Methodist or whether she had been employed by Cannon as secretary. Treasurer of League In her capacity, as secretary to Cannon, Miss Burroughs was treasurer of the anti-Smith organization. Nye sought today to learn why she did not report a balance of $48,300 contributed to the bishop by E. C. Jameson, a New York capitalist. Nye read correspondence of Cannon in which Cannon in September said he was raising $25,000 to $50,000 to distribute literature against Governor Alfred E. Smith in the south. In this letter, Cannon said any contribution could be listed as having been made to the Methodist board of which he is chairman. Nye sought to show that Cannon thus endeavoring to handle campaign funds through the oard and to avoid reporting them as political expenditures.

A STATEMENT ABOUT • AMERICAN TRAGEDY” £ We sincerely believe that “An American Tragedy” is Paramount’s outstanding contribution to the screen. For here is LIFE ... as any of us might have lived it. “An American Tragedy” has been re-enacted in real life a million times. It is being re-enacted today whenever the wild fire of youth burns away age old barriers. Therein lies the story’s vital appeal to the world public. “An American Tragedy” has no heroes or heroines. They are average girl and boy. On the threshold of life. Awakening to love. Eager. Bold. Plunging along dangerous paths. Scorning advice and caution, until Fate calls the turn. They might be any one of us! A Paramount Picture, based on Theodore Dreiser’s novel. Directed br Joseph Von Sternber* with Phillips Holmes, Sylvia Sidney and Frances Dee. PREMIER TIT I"!
