MISSING CITY MAN'S BODY IS FOUND IN LAKE Walter E. Kipp Declared to Be Suicide, After Coroner’s Hearing. Search of more than two weeks for Walter E. Kipp, 53, of 1331 Central avenue, who disappeared after leaving notes threatening was ended today with recovery of his body from Lake Erie, fifteen miles off shore from Cleveland. Fishermen returning from their nets Sunday found the body, according to word received by police and the widow here, and in United Press dispatches. Coroner’s officials in Ohio said it probably had been in the lake a week. Mr. Kipp had been ill several months, and was on the verge of a nervous collapse when he left home suddenly, Mrs. Kipp said, when he failed to return home Aug. 27 from a trip downtown, where he withdrew SSO from a bank. Taken From Lake Arrangements are being made to bring the body to Indianapolis for burial, although funeral plans have not been completed. Hauled out of the water by Capt. William Woods of the fishing tug Louisville, the body was bound around the waist with a rope, to which was attached the handle and metal skeleton of a hand bag, indicating it had been weighed as Mr. Kipp was thrown or leaped from a Lake Erie steamer. Authorities consider both murder and suicide in their investigation. Stateroom Key Found Among articles found in the clothing was a key, tag of which was inscribed ‘‘Stateroom 417 —D. & C. Navigation Company,” and on the reverse side ‘‘D-3.” Cleveland offices of the Detroit & Cleveland Navigation Company said no one had been reported missing from any of their liners. The key indicated passage on the City of Detroit 111, they said. Also found among effects were a slip of paper on which was written “J. C. Kipp, 1331 Central avenue,” and a bunch of keys. No money was found. Born In City Mr. Kipp was born in this city, the son of a pioneeer family, and lived here virtually all his life. He founded the Kipp Phonograph Company here, and about five years ago sold it to the Thomas A. Edison interests and retired. Survivors are the widow, Mrs. Thresa Kipp: three brothers, William and Alfred Kipp here, and Herbert Kipp, in Houston. Tex.; and a sister. Miss Paula Kipp, of Indianapolis.

EXPONENT OF NEW RELIGION IS VISITOR

BY BEN STERN.

“'KJOBODY ever won any voter i-N playing with the Chamber of Commerce,” is one of the old, old axioms of Indianapolis politics. In fact, the county council has alienated thousands of votes from its own party, the Democratic, by futilely attempting to please the commerce body, and the real result has been that no one is satisfied. , Studying the entire situation from the political standpoint, and not that of the dire need for tax reduction, which everyone admits to be true, poor, nay, bad, politics has been played by the council. After weeks of effort, study, and loud talk, the council succeeded in slashing—if that can be the word — the tax rate one-half cent. To accomplish this, labor, the farmer, the banker and the reformer have all been flouted, and the members of their own party are vowing vengeance. a a a Abolition of the road patrol can be charged as really criminal. Not that the road patrol ever captured an important criminal or uncovered a major crime. But the very fact that such a police branch did exist exercised a psychological and intimidating effect upon would-be law violators. To the farmers on lone highways, it was the symbol of law and order. With the use of the radioequipped automobiles, the mobility and usefulness of this patrol was increased 1,000 per cent and bankers depended upon it. Whether one holds with or against the Anti-Saloon League, it is a fact that the patrol had a salutary effect in controlling bootleggers and hi-jackers. Whoever be the sheriff or whatever be the party, the natrol should be maintained, is the demand of public opinion. a a a Naturally all of these organizations feel intensely bitter towards those responsible for abolition of their protection. In this case it is a Democratic county council. What the political effect will be is, of course, at present, unknown. But council members will feel the effect in the 1932 primary. It’s true that no one can please everybody—but, as the political rule book says, “if you want to win votes in this county, the best group to disregard is the Chamber of Commerce.”

AGED WEALTHY WOMAN ON TRIAL FOR MURDER State Accuses Widow of Slaying Mate in Jealous Rage. By United Press NOGALES, Ariz., Sept. 14.—Mrs. Louise F. Marshall, a stooped and feeble woman of 72, accustomed to weath and social position since childhood, went on trial today on a charge of having murdered Thomas K. Marshall, 49, her husband. Marshall was shot April 26 while sleeping at his Tuscon home. He died May 22 in a Los Angeles hospital where his wife sent him for an operation for removal of one of the four bullets the state contends she shot into him in a jealous rage. Most of the evidence against Mrs. Marshall was obtained by the state from Marshall while he was on hia deathbed. The wounded man refused, however, to sign any complaint against his wife. According to the story, Marshall told William Hall, Pima county attorney, Mrs. Marshall was needlessly jealous of attentions she said he paid Mrs. Henrietta Seymour, for.mac hmis^keeofijk

British Writer Represents Oxford Group; Terms Dole 'Farce.’ A religion that may be practiced in offices, that may hold its meeting at the eighteenth green, or wherever “good fellows” get together, visited in Indianapolis over the w r eek-end in the person of A. J. Russell, British novleist and journalist. Russell is a member of what is known as the Oxford group. The group believes in prayer, reading of the New Testament, listening to God for guidance, and rising early in the morning. Creeds Are No Bar “Creeds are no bar to belonging to an Oxford group,” Russell explains. “A group can be formed anywhere among men or women who desire God’s guidance in life,” he says. “Putting into daily practice the teachings of the New Testament is the desire of the Oxford group. It first was formed in Cambridge university, England, and later spread to Oxford,’’ he said. Contemplative worship with thoughts, luminous ones, received by a mind when receptive, are keynotes of the religion. “You might call it the shadow church,” Russell asserts. Terms Dole Farcical Russell termed the dole in England as farcical. He says there is much protest in England at present against its payment to married women. Asked what England’s reaction w*ould be to the proposal of Senator Borah for a five-year vacation in battleship building he said, “I’d sooner see airships built than battleships. England is Britannia, and she, like w T omen, always pays. Sometimes she feels herself the atlas of the world. Business conditions in Great Britain was described by the novelist as “treading w*ater.” Russell left today to visit an Oxford Group in Louisville.

LEO RAPPAPORT FIGHTS SCHOOL BUDGET CUT Prominent Attorney Gives Views in Letter to Tax Board. Expressing the view that “no cut should be made which would impair the efficiency of our teaching staff or require the elimination of such valuable departments as free kindergartens, vocational training and free night schools,” Leo M. Rappaport, prominent Indianapolis attorney, has written a letter to the state tax board giving his views on the school city tax rate. The state board will hear remonstrances on the school budget Tuesday morning. Rappaport pointed out that the present school board is composed of persons who were “drafted” and did not seek the office. “It would be poor policy to destroy any of these departments today merely for the purpose of saving the taxpayers a few cents on the dollar, when a re-establishment would be more costly than the amount which might be saved presently.”

GANDHI SILENCE BLOCKS ACTION AT CONFERENCE: Refusal to Speak Hampers Meeting Called to Plan India Rule. By HARRY FLORY United Press Staff Correspondent LONDON. Sept. 14.—The federal structure committee of the Indian round table conference met today to consider a constitution for India, holding one fifth of the population of the world. The meeting convened at 11 a. m. at St. James palace. Mahatma M. K. Gandhi, leader of the Indian nationalists, arrived twelve minutes late. He was observing his regular weekly day of silence. Gandhi, silent, but observant, listened carefully to the speeches during the committee's meeting and carefully scrutinized the documents presented. Silence Blocks Action The committee adjourned after an hour’s session, unable to complete the general discussion on account of Gandhi's silence. Delegates said they hoped the preliminary discussions would be completed Tuesday. The mahatma said, before his day of silence began, that if his opinion was needed during today's meeting, he would communicate it by note. Mrs. Naidu carried a thermos flask of goat’s milk and Desai a package, apparently containing nuts and fruit, indicating that Gandhi felt that he had insufficient time to ride from the palace to Kingsley hall, the welfare center in the east end where he is living, to have his lunch. Gazes at Palace Gandhi earlier in the day had conferred with Lord Sankey and agreed on procedure to be followed by the committee. After the meeting, the Mahatma walked through St. James park and gazed up at Buckingham palace, residence of the kings and one of the most famous structures in the world. “What is the name of that building?” Gandhi asked a companion. He was told that it was Buckingham palace. “It looks like a nice place,” the mahatma said, and continued his walk toward his cellroom at Kingsley Hall, east end welfare center. Hundreds of visitors were received at Kingsley Hall Sunday and a curioius crowd filled the streets of the neighborhood. Gandhi conducted a half-hour prayer service in the evening, attended by residents of the hall, and later received the press in the dining room.

PRIVATE DRIVER BIG PERIL TO CHILDREN

Four-Fifths of Fatalities in 1930 Due to Car of Individual. “Among children of school age, automobile accidents hold first place as the most common cause of accidental deaths.” “Nearly four-fifths of the motor vehicle fatalities during 1930 involved privately-owned automobiles.” These statements based on investigation by the National Safety Council show advisability of the individual motorist driving carefully to protect the lives of school children as urged in the two-week camuaign of The Times. No Fatalities to Date Since the opening of school this year, school children have escaped death by autos. The Times campaign is in its second week. According to the safety council’s figures, fatal accidents by busses, trucks and taxicabs have been reduced 19 per cent., while Mr. and Mrs. Motorist have increased their death mark* 37 per cent. Indianapolis safety 'leaders today said the decline in commercial vehicle crashes is due to the active interest employers have taken in safety measures and the education that has been directed to their ' drivers. Deputies Open Drive It is the purpose of The Times to educate the individual motorist to: LOSE A MINUTE AND SAVE A LIFE. According to national surveys, speeding causes 19 per cent of the motor accidents and 29 per cent of the fatalities. In view of this, city and county authorities today informed The Times that police and deputy sheriffs are under orders to halt speeding on streets and highways. In addition, motorists were asked to check their cars for mechanical defects. A tire that bursts, a loose or broken steering connection, faulty lights or a windshield that results in poor vision may cause a motorist to have the life of a child or an adult marked against him.

LEGION LEADER PLEADS FOR AID IN JOBS CRISIS Conditions Are Ripe for Communism, He Tells Capital Parley. By United Press WASHINGTON, Sept. 14—Commander Ralph T. O'Neil of the American Legion opened the legion's unemployment conference today with a plea for co-operation in this country to cope with an emergency which, he said, is comparable to that of 1917 when the United States entered the World war. O’Neil addressed about 100 persons representing labor, industry, the government and more than a score of states. He told them present conditions were a menace to the government. He said Communism and racketeering were nurtured under such conditions as exist today in the United States. The meeting of sta e and national leaders was called, O'Neil said, to devise a program in which thp 1.000.000 members of the Legion could aid in the effort to restore normal conditions. “Work must be found for those who are ready and willing to work, to save them from the stigma of pauperism and the dole and to save our government from the menace of the racketeer and the Communist.'* he said. “We are offering the services cte our organization to serve in this economic emergency. “The gangster and racketeer are looking for recruits and their seductive whisperings will be poured into the ears of hungry men. Unrest and fear are abroad in the land and the ranks of the unemployed are fertile fields for the fallacies of Communism.”
