CHURCHES’ LABOR DAY TOPIC IS ANNOUNCED Federation Message to Urge Justice as Economic Cure. “Economic Security” is the subject of a suggested Labor Sunday message sent by the Church Federation of Indianapolis to churches in the city. Justice, not charity, is given as the basic demand of the present economic situation. Among imperfections in the national economic structure are given “unsoundness of the present distribution of the national income” and the need for “control of the money-making spirit.” The “stark contrast of vast fortunes and breadlines” can be remedied in part, the message states, by “ample wage during employment, stabilization of employment and safeguarding of the family income by such provisions as workmen’s compensation, health and unemployment insurance, old-age pensions and maternity benefits.” Many Indianapolis pastors have announced their intention of speaking on the subject suggested. Enroll at Orchard School Enrollment at Orchard school, 610 West Forty-second street, is being held daily from 9 until 3, according to announcement of C. H. Matravers. director. The school will open Wednesday, Sept. 16.

“YY7ATSON was reluctant to VV talk about unemployment,” is the most significant thing which may be said about the address of the senior senator at the Eighth district Republican rally at Tell City Thursday. Considering that this new district is almost overwhelming Democratic, the size of the crowd was encouraging to .party leaders. But htere can be no doubt that curiosity, more than active interest in the Republican party, was responsible. All wanted to learn the cures which the veteran senator would propose for the nation’s economic ailments. The senator had no cures. 0 “Unemployment will not be an Issue in the next campaign,” he assured his listeners. “The situation will be met through the presidential plan, in co-operation with county and township organizations. Township trustees are elected to meet just such emergencies as this,” declared Watson. He, however declared against the “dole.” a a a The senator was also optimistic. “Conditions are better now than last year. Farm prices might be higher, but farmers’ bins are bursting with grain and they have plenty to eat.” Watson, however, spoke vigorously against the League of Nations, the bloc system In politics and Communism. There is the entire speech. It sounded good, but the converts It made, if there were any, could be counted on the fingers of one hand. While the senator talked issues, the politicians present talked candidates. Conceding the renomination to Watson, the question of a nominee for Governor came foremost. One candidate sat on the platform. He was M. Bert Thurman, Republican national committeeman from Indiana. a a a But the farmers standing about wanted to hear some words concerning Fred Landis, Logansport editor, and Lieutenant-Governor Ed Bush, rabble-rousing “farmers’ friends,” whose missionaries have been spreading his name along the Ohio river. Leaders of the New Albany group started their campaign to send James Dunbar, defeated last year by Eugene Crowe, back to congres. And, from indications, the other counties in the district will offer no serious opposition. lawWformerly of CITY DIES IN FLORIDA Elmer Wetzel, 63, Was Associate of Major A. Downing. Word was received here today of the death of Elmer Wetzel, 63, Indianapolis attorney, at t . hospital in Miami Beach, Fla., whv._fe he had resided for the last twelve years. Funeral services were to be held today at the home in Miami Beach, with leading attorneys and members of the Miami banking profession as pallbearers. Mr. Wetzel was born in Kane, Pa., and was graduated from Cornell university. After practicing law in Buffalo, he came to this city, where he was an office associate of Major A. Downing for many years. Survivors are the widow, Mrs. Marguerite Wetzel, and a daughter, Mrs. Helen Moore, both of Cocoanut Grove, a suburb of Miami.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

police were told today by Orval Partlow, 22, of 633 South Missouri street, confessed knife killer of Connor. After surrendering to detectives Thursday afternoon, Partlow told them his memory had been blurred by alcohol, but following several hours’ questioning, officers said, he confessed to stabbing Connor in the abdomen following a fight over a milk bottle full of liquor. Connor was stabbed fatally in an alley brawl at West and Abbott streets. Three men and a woman had participated in the two-day '"mule” party that led to the slaying. The party started at the home of Ed Justice, 511 West Abbott street, Monday night, Partlow is said to have admitted. He said Connor “sat in” on the party Tuesday night. The alcohol had been obtained in a milk bottle and was being passed around the group. Connor, according to Partlow’s purported state-

ment, grabbed the bottle and fled from the house. “Grabbing a knife from the table, I chased him down an alley.” Partlow is said to have admitted. “Connor swung at me with the bottle twice when I stabbed him. I never had met him until Tuesday night.” Partlow is said to have confessed he aided Connor to a nearby house and left him there. Connor died several hours later at city hospital.
