JOBS JAYLESS Chicago School Board Has No Money in Sight. By United Press CHICAGO, Sept. s.—The official summer vacation of 13,000 Chicago school teachers ended today with the school board still owing the instructors for the last two months’ work they did last year. Counting the money owed to summer teachers, substitute teachers, janitors and engineers, the total debt to its employes was $11,685,000. And the board admitted it was “broke.” To make matters worse, said members of the board, no money was in sight to pay any of the employes either their back wages or for the work they will take up again next Tuesday, the day after Labor day. The first opportunity the board will have to get any money, it was said, will be in October, when payment of 1931 taxes will be due. But there is no guarantee the debts can be paid even then. Payment will depend upon how many Chicago property owners choose to pay their taxes. NAMES CLINIC STAFF School Physicians, Nurses Chosen by Morgan.

Children Are Special Guests on First Day of Exposition. A Hoosier fog lifted the curtain at 6 a. m. today on Indiana’s seven-ty-ninth state fair, and as it rolled away with the sun the turnstiles clicked their welcome greeting to early visitors. Blinky-eyed sheep stirred in their pens. Calf club boys began braiding the tails of their “bossies” for parade before the judges in the 4-H club contests. Sandwich men scraped off the residue of yesterday’s hamburgers and prepared to pass out innumerable buns for the opening day to childdom. For today, children under 12 years old, are admitted to the fair without charge. Day for Children In fact, the entire day will be one for farmers and farmerettes of the future. Judging of 4-H clubs in swine, calves and poultry claimed the occupation of the fair’s ribbon-stick-ers, the judges. Bands in the coliseum, radio broadcasts, awoke the livestock and limbered the muscles of the gatekeepers to make change for early arrivals. With sunshine in preponderance, fair officials hoped to better last year’s natal fair attendance of 9,008. The exhibitor’s list in all departments will equal the 1930 record. Carnival On Lot The play-bent will find a carnival, with sideshows; races schedled for this afternoon and tonight; stage shows and singing quartets, to feed their desires. Winners in the fine arts, domestic arts, and applied arts, were the first to receive ribbons at this year’s fair. But one point of interest, one spot, was the highlight of 1931’s fair today and that w r as the new $225,000 grandstand. Tired of roaming among sheep and cattle pens, the visitors this morning rested their weary “dogs” by trying out the seats in the new stand or admiring its appointments in comparison to the old fire-trap of erstwhile years. Dinner Gven by Girls Members of the state fair board were feted Friday night at a dinner prepared by girls of the home economics school. Devotionals, with Billy Sunday as the speaker, at a mass meeting in the Coliseum at 3 p. m., will feature Sunday at the fair. All exhibits and show stock will be on display for visitors. Labor will take the bow on Monday, when the fair has been set aside for those who toil by the day, with tools. One of the mian events of Labor day will be the dedication of the new grandstand at 1 p. m. by Governor Harry G. Leslie and other state, county, and city officials. Special tram and bus service, carrying fair visitors to the gates, is provided daily by the Indianapolis Street Railway Company and the Peoples Motor Coach Company. Ample parking room for motorists has been set aside by the fair board for the 1931 week of weeks. The gates of the fair are open from 6 a. m. to midnight daily.

MILK WAR NEAR CRISIS Farmers Campaign for Support of Customers. By United Press ST. LOUIS, Sept. s.—More than 300 Illinois and Missouri farmers marched from house to house in St. Louis today urging housewives to support them in a milk price war, which has resulted in the dumping of thousands of gallons of milk along state highways. ‘ We’re going to tell the customers exactly what we’re fighting for and let them be the judges,” declared A.

! DOOLITTLE IS OUT TO CRACK SPRINTMARKS Flies Back to Cleveland, Seeking New American Land Records. 11 HOURS ACROSS U. S. Wins Bendix Trophy and Goes on to Shatter Other Figures. BY JOHN OWEN United Press Staff Correspondent CLEVELAND, Sept. 5. Major James H. Doolittle, scientist, mechanic and ace flier, was on his way here today to supervise preparation of his trans-continental recordsmashing Laird biplane for the Thompson trophy race, speed classic of the national air races. Doolittle left Lambert-St. Louis field, St. Louis, at 8:11 a. m. for this city. Doolittle flew to St. Louis from here Friday night after spanning the continent in 11 hours and 15 minutes, during which he won the Bendix trophy race to Cleveland. Planning an assault on the American land plane speed record, Doolittle w r as to replace the Wasp Jr. motor, w’hich carried him across the nation, with a supercharged engine of the same design. Predicts New Speed Mark He predicted he would add the Thompson trophy and anew speed mark to the three records shattered in his coast-to-coast dash. Although his trim little “skyways buzzard” hurtled across the continent and back to Cleveland in less than thirteen hours, the former army test pilot plans to increase its speed by forty miles an hour before the Thompson race, scheduled for Monday. After winning the Bendix derby, the former army ace continued on to New York Friday to break Capt. Frank M. Hawks’ trancontinental record. The modest little St. Louis flier, who is 35, was inclined to make light of his cross-country dash. He attributed the new record to his plane. Best Ship in Career “I have never flown a better ship,” said Doolittle, winner of the 1925 Schneider cup. “It was hard to handle, but I was able to maintain a speed of over 220 miles an hour for the 2,400 miles. “There were few spots along the route where I could have set the plane down, if necessary. It has a landing speed of 80 miles an hour. We bucked a headwind part of the way, but later a 10-mile tail wind caught me and was a big help.” Doolittle won $7,500 for first place in the Bendix derby when he landed here 9 hours and 10 minutes after taking off from Los Angeles. He added $2,500 when he landed at Newark for the new record 1 hour and 51 minutes after leaving Cleveland. Harold S. Johnson, Chicago, won $4,500 for second place in the derby, and Beeler Blevins, Atlanta, Ga„ who finished third, won $3,000. While Doolittle’s phenomenal flight captured the imagination of the nation, two other pilots worked over their planes, tuning them up to challenge the Bendix winner for the Thompson honors. Two Are Challengers The pilots are Lee Schoenhair and Lowell Bayles, Springfield, Mass. Schoenhair was to fly his Laird biplane, a sister ship to the one pilote dby Doolitte, from St. Louis today. Bayles was scheduled to fly over the three-kilometer course today in an official attempt to establish a new land plane record. Flying a Gee-Bee special, the Springfield pilot unofficially broke the mark of 266 miles an hour, now held by Lieutenant Alfred Williams last Tuesday. The Thompson classic is expected to a three-cornered race among Doolittle, Schoenhair and Bayles. Goodyear balloons floated over the airport today to celebrate Akron day at the air show. Among the Akron visitors was Judge Walter B. Warnamaker, American war pilot! The jurist was to meet Captain Ernst Udet, the German “wasp,” who shot him down during the war. Captain Udet is here as a member of the international military stunt flying team. Wiley Post and Harold Gatty, flying their round-the-world speedster, the Winnie Mae, were to arrive here this afternoon for participation in the race show. The globe fliers will make brief addresses to the spectators. Neither will compete in race events. Woman Burned Fatally MON TICELLO, Ind., Sept. 5.

Gobble! 37 Ears of Corn Just a Mild Snack for This • Champion.

By United Press ORTONVILLE, Minn., Sept. 5. —Edward Kottwitz, 37, a farmer, ate thirty-seven ears of sweet corn in 1 hour 45 minutes without even unbuttoning his vest and claimed today the title of champion sweet corn eater of the world. “I could have done better,” declared Kottwitz, “only I had com for dinner two hours before the contest started.” Kottwitz came here from Garnt county, South Dakota, to enter the first world’s championship corn eating contest sponsored by the Ortonville Town and Fans’ Club. He lined up with eleven other contestants in front of a huge watering trough in which were stacked ears of yellow corn prepared by the best cooks of Ortonville. Steam from a tractor was pumped into the trough to keep the corn in perfect condition for eating purposes. tt u THE contestants “fell to.” The ears of yellow corn disappeared rapidly. One after another the contestants gave up and quit. Kottwitz ate methodically. He’d pick an ear of corn from the trough (being careful always to select a big ear) and then he’d start chewing. He had it all worked down to a system. Every bite counted. Some of the others ate faster than Kottwitz, but they didn’t last as long. After a half hour of eating, several contestants dropped out. Usually a groan accompanied the withdrawal. Kottwitz kept on chewing. An ohur passed, then another thirty minutes. Only two eaters were left. Kottwitz’ still was nibbling at one cob after another, never faltering for a moment. After eating thirty-two ears, the man who took second, quit. His belt was hanging loose. He staggered as he left the trough. Kottwitz went right on chewing. “I guess I’ve had enough, for awhile,” Kottwitz finally said. “And, besides, I’ve got to hurry home, cause I’ve got twelve cows to milk this evening.” DELAY PACIFIC HOP Don Moyle and C. A. Allen Held at Tokio by Bad Weather. By United Press SABISHIRO BEACH, Japan, Sept. s.—Wind and fog that blew into the North Pacific tonight led Don Moyle and C. A. Allen, American aviators, to postpone the takeoff of their attempted nonstop flight to America. The 4,500-mile dash across the treacherous, fogbound “great circle” route was scheduled to start at 4 a. m. Sunday (1 p. m. Indianapolis time), but Moyle said that reports of inclement weather would delay the takeoff from 24 to 48 hours. Damage Suit Attacked By Times Special ANDERSON, Ind., Sept. s.—Suit filed in Madison circuit court by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company seeks to abate one of two suits in which William Ashburn, former employe, seeks to recover $15,000 damages for injuries. One suit, started here, has been transferred to federal court at Indianapolis. The other action was started in Cook county, Illinois. Prosecution of the suit in the Cook county court would place witnesses at considerable trouble and inconvenience, the plea for abatement says.

A penciled “216“ (appearing just under the postage stamp) is a secret mark used by Powers in a code partly deciphered and in which, officers say, “P-15” meant “graveyard,” this mark having been found on the correspondence with women he slew. The poem on the card at the lower right is from the woman at Vanderbilt.

VANDALS FIRE SITE OF LOVE MURDERS

Burn Down Fence Erected Around Bluebeard’s Death Garage. By United Press CLARKSBURG, W. VA., Sept. 5. —Hoodlums burned a fence today around the garage where Harry F. Powers, matrimonial agency bluebeard, killed and buried two women and three children. Police said they believed the fence was burned by persons who objected to paying 25 cents for the privilege of seeing the murder scene. Police said there was no one at the scene when they arrived. The’ fence had been torn down, saturated with kerosene and set fire. Police Are Balked The property in Quiet Dell, six miles from here, was leased to a man by the name of McClure by Mrs. Luella Strouther Powers, Powers’ wife, who owns the property. It had ben leased to another man for the same purpose previously, but he gave up the project and McClure took it over. Thousands had been going to the garage where the grewsome killings took place. Police attempted to stop payment of admission to the property, but the tenant constructed a high board fence and as he had a lease police could do nothing. Won’t Hunt Vandals Police said they had no clews as to the identity of the persons who burned the fence, but believed it was a group who objected to paying admission. Hundreds of persons who lived nearby went to the scene of the fire, but refused to aid the fire fighters. Although the fire obviously was incendiary in origin, police said no investigation would be made. Mrs. Charles Fleming, Northboro, Mass., sister of Mrs. Dorothy Pressler Lemke, fifth victim of the mail order Romeo, retained J. Phillip Clifford, Clarksburg attorney, today in an effort to recover funds believed appropriated by Powers. Powers is believed to have obtained more than $4,000 from Mrs. Lemke before killing her.

THOUSANDS TO ATTEND BALL PARKOPENING First Game Will Be Played Today in New $350,000 Perry Stadium. DIAMOND ‘GREATS’ HERE Landis and Hickey Among Notables Who Will See Tribe Meet Colonels. BY EDDIE ASH Indianapolis baseball fans who have been harboring a “new park complex” for years will experience a thrill this afternoon when they march into Perry stadium, the $350,000 modern plant built by Norman A. Perry at Sixteenth and Harding streets. The inaugural game will see Emmett McCann’s Indians battling the Colonels of Louisville and numerous diamond dignitaries and other prominent persons will be on hand, paying their respects to the Tribe president, while admiring one of the finest parks in the country. Kenesaw Mountain Landis, baseball commissioner, reached the city Friday night, aloHp with Thomas J. Hickey, president of the American Association. Presidents of the Louisville, Kansas City and Columbus clubs also will be on hand for the opening, as well as the four managers of Indianapolis pennant winners of the seasons of 1902, 1908, 1917 and 1928. “Watty” at Opening W. H. (Watty) Watkins brought the first A. A. flag to the Hoosier capital in 1902 and Charlie Carr won the second in 1908. The third was annexed by Jack Hendricks in. 1917 and the fourth by Albert (Bruno) Betzel in 1908. Carr and Hendricks are Indianapolis residents, Watkins resides in Michigan, and Betzel in Ohio. Owner Norman Perry is not in a position to offer the fans a pennant along with the new park, but he is ambitious to deliver a championship team to the city next season after the formal dedication of Perry stadium in the spring. There is much unfinished work at the stadium, but the field is in prime condition and the grand stand is ready wi f 'i thousands of individual seats in place and spotlessly clean. Plenty of Seats The bleachers also are ready for occupancy and there are enough seats in the plant to meet all demands, both reserved and general admission. The playing field is a square, 350 feet down the foul lines and same distance from, the left field corner to the flag pole and from the flagpole to the right field corner. A high brick wall surrounds the park and it’s a good guess that the home run hitters are going to meet with difficulty in clearing the barrier. The only boxes on the grandstand roof are for the press, telegraph operators and club officials, and a temporary stairway leads up to the coops. Player dressing rooms are beneath the stand and the athletes will reach the dugouts through runways. The Indians will occupy the third base bench the same as at old Washington park. Covers Six Acres The Perry stadium stands and field cover six acres and the parking space for autos adjacent to the park covers about seven acres. The opening series in the new plant calls for five games .with single tilts today and Sunday, a double header Labor day afternoon and and a single game Tuesday. After Tuesday, the Indians will go on the road again, playing in Columbus, Toledo, and Louisville before returning to wind up the season at home with Toledo and Columbus.
