He’s Seen Depressions Come, Go; Fears This One

Bit l nited Press DES MOINES, Sept. 15. George A. Gay, who has lived through several business depressions, thinks we’re all too greedy and hard-hearted. , Gay—he was a captain at 17 in the Civil war and is attending the army’s annual encampment of the G.

OCEAN AIRMEN LONG OVERDUE Fear Brave Foreign Trio Victims of Atlantic. B„ f nited Press NEW YORK, Sept. 15.—Two German fliers and a Portuguese sportsman, who started an unheralded trans-Atlantic flight Sunday, were hours overdue today and fear was expressed they had perished in the lonely stretches of the Atlantic. Willy Rody, a young Hamburg aviation enthusiast; Christian Johansson, veteran German war flier, and Fernando Costa Viega, Portuguese sportsman, started from Lisbon at 3:30 a. m. (Indianapolis time) Sunday, bound for New York. At 12:30 p. m. today they had been gone fifty-seven hours, w r ith a fuel supply equal only to a forty-five-hour flight. Up and down the coast line today searches were under way. Ships at sea were advised to be on the lookout. Airplanes along the North Atlantic coast were cruising over desolate spots where the airplane might have landed. In Nova Scotia and Newfoundland searching parties hunted some trace of the Junkers plane, named the Esa, after Rody’s sweetheart. The plane was sighted only twice on its flight from Lisbon, once over the Azores and again when it circled the liner Pennland, then plunged westward into the Grand Banks region—the blind spot of westward trans-Atlantic flying.

The captain was not yet fourteen when he enlisted in the Union forces when he was mustered out as a captain he was not quite eighteen. Hence, he is one of the youngest of the G. A. R. today at 82. He's still active as a civil engineer.

9 Children; Beer Orgy; Judge Irked “Daddy may be a liquor baron and keep his family living sumptuously from his profits, but he is liable to child neglect charges.” This decision was handed down today by Judge John E. Geckler from the Marion county juvenile court bench. “This court can’t stop selling booze or end the parties, but we are not going to allow any children to become involved,” Judge Geckler declared at the trial of Mr. and Mrs. Granvel Smith, 1306 West North street, on child neglect charges. Taken Under Advisement The Smiths’ case was taken under advisement because, as the judge informed them, “you are charged with operating a blind tiger in the police court and we will await the outcome of that.” They were in juvenile court along with John Connor, 3102 West Sixteenth street, and Girtie Whitaker of 2624 West Walnut street, for holding a booze party in the presence of the Smiths’ nine children. “This has got to stop immediately,” the judge commanded, when officers testified that 8-year-old Alfred had thrown a bottle of booze down the stairs —helping his parents destroy evidence at the time of the raid. Won't Be Tolerated Deputy Sheriffs Frank Lindsey and Harry Dioger told the court they took five gallons of brew, nine quarts of beer and one-half pint of liquor from the room in which nine children were attending the alleged booze orgy. “This thing of having booze around children will not be tolerated,” the court informed the parents. He fined Connor and Whitaker each $1 and costs when he found them guilty of contributing to child neglect. ‘KING OF RIVER’ SOLD Side-Wheeler Cincinnati Is Purchased by St. Louis Company.

as they entered, but was prevented from getting it into action. Cornelius Richmond. Negro, custodian of the building, was held for blind tiger. Squads under Lieutenant Ralph Dean, Sergeant Ed Kruse and Sergeant John Haney made the raids. In each of the trunk lockers in the basement, police found quantities of liquor. However, they said they would not search all the apartments in the building, believing that the Blacks had rented most of the locker space in which to store the liquor.

By United Press TEGUCIGALPA. Honduras, Sept. 15.—More than 100 persons were reported drowned today in the loss of six Honduran schooners, including two government vessels, caught in a hurricane. BY ELMLR J. SMITH Amateur Radio Operator at Belize (Copyright. 1931. United Press) BELIZE, British Honduras, Sept. 15 —(By radio to the United Press) —Further clearing of streets and wreckage of homes today revealed scores of additional bodies and lent added strength to the fear that the total dead in the hurricane horror of last week may reach well above 2.0C0. In some quarters it is believed that as many as 2,500 residents of the British Honduran capital lost their lives. Concern for the living, threatened with disease and lack of medical supplies, water and common necessities, was relieved today, however, by the distribution of supplies brought here by a British warship. Order Partly Restored The population, working ceaselessly since the clearing after the storm, have begun to restore the streets to a semblance of order. A few stores, undergoing repairs, were opened for business today, with whatever stocks survived the hurricane. Day and night the monotonous process of burning the dead continues. With the uncovering of each pile of ruins, the death toll increases. Meanwhile, in a constant stream, refugees were fleeing the city to the north or south. Approximately ICO small boats, tossed upon the land by the violent winds and waves, are being recovered from unbelievable places, some far inland, and are being sal-* vaged and put into shape for transportation, in case an epidemic should force the remaining population to leave the city. * Starvation Is Faced Reports from outlying villages, beginning to filter into Belize, say that hundreds of surviving inhabitants are now facing the danger of starvation unless relief comes at once. A severe squall hampered the work Monday night, when a typical tropical downpour struck the city. This, however, was not without a certain advantage, for through it the inhabitants hoped to catch enough water to prevent a famine in the drinking supply.

ANSWER TO LEUSSE BAIL PLEA SHORT, SNAPPY ‘NO’

“No argument is necessary, I deny the petition that Theodore Luesse be freed from prison on bail!” In this flat statement, Criminal Judge Frank P.

Contract to Complete Job Awarded to Moynahan Construction Cos. Completion of the interior of the Indiana War Memorial with Indianapolis and Indiana labor and materials, at a cost of $1,058,753, will be started this winter Trustees of the project today announced awarding of the contract to the Moynahan Construction Company of Indianapolis, which underbid the lowest of three competitors by SIOO,OOO According to trustees, the work of completing the structure, interior of which has stood bare since the building was erected, will take more than two, and possibly three, years. It is estimated the construction company and subcontractors who will be retained will spend more than $5,000 weekly in wages to more than 100 men who will be employed. Will Be Scene of Beauty The building will be the scenic enclosed spot of the plaza, with its exhibits of art, w-ar relics, and shrine to the flag, which trustees and architects said, will be the most beautiful piece of art work of its kind in the world. Under the contract arrangement, the Moynahan company is given the blanket plan for the finishing work, all of which will be sublet by the firm to companies specialising in each line. Funds for completion of the interior of the structure have been appropriated by three different legislatures in the last decade, and the contract is so written that the amount of work can be cut dow* by trustees should funds be slow in forthcoming, they stated. With completion of the auditorium with Its startling sound arrangements, the hall will be thrown open to patriotic organizations for meetings. Previous Bid Too High Trustees previously rejected bids for the work because the offers were too high. Today, though, they said the cost of construction is “as low as it ever will be.” Definite date for start of construction is to be announced later. Trustees announcing letting of the contract were Marcus S. Sonntag, Evansville; William Elder, Frank Henley, secretary, and Samuel Ashby of Indianapolis.

BANK GUUGE REVEALED ON SCHOOL FUHD 5 Per Cent Charged on Loan by City Financiers Who Demand Budget Cut. 3 PER CENT IN CHICAGO Taxpayer Group, Chamber of Commerce Want Slash Made ‘Somehow.’ BY DANIEL M. KIDNEY How five Indianapolis banks combined and charged the Indianapolis school city 5 per cent on a ninetyday loan of $150,000, where formerly the money was borrowed in Chicago at 3 per cent, was cited as an example today of why tfle school city budget can not be cut from the proposed sl.Ol. The episode was related by Russell Willson, president of the school board, in defending the new budget before the state tax board. Attack on the budget was launched by the Indiana Taxpayers’ Association, which took an appeal to the state commission, and by a Chamber of Commerce committee. Arthur V. Brown appeared as a member of the Chamber of Commerce committee and urged that the budget be cut “somehow” to 94 cents. Banking Deal Cited It was in answer to Brown that Willson cited the banking deal. He pointed out that it is high interest rates on bonded debts and “fixed charges” which prevented the school board from making any rate reduction this year. Brown’s own bank was one of the five charging 5 per cent, and Brown, as bank president, told Willson that cash reserves at the time were as large as at any time in the history of the institution, Willson said. “There is no use of coming here and talking platitudes,” Willson challenged. “This is the sort of things that we are up against in operating the school system efficinetly. It’s the sort of thing that you don’t see in the newspapers when they are crying out for budget cuts.” Every seat in the house of representatives was filled v and many women, members of parent-teacher associations, were standing. Corporations Seek Cut Willson pointed out that not a single protest against the budget came from taxpayers generally, but only from such organizations as the Chamber of Commerce and the Indiana Taxpayers Association. “Corporations don’t send any children to school,” he declared. “But of course they are interested in cutting taxes, because any cut means a saving of money to them. But just how that can be considered a program of ‘pro bono publico’ is somwehat obscure. “Our board intends to carry out its election promise and keep the city schools efficient. If a single cent is cut from this budget, it will ! stulify the schools, and we are not to be responsible for it.” J. J. Daniels, attorney for the school board, pointed out that no definite objections or program were propounded by the Chamber of Commerce and, therefore, its pleas were worthless and should be ignored. Micsse Submits Plan A program of definite cuts was set out in a detailed plan submitted by Harry Miesse, secretary of the Indiana Taxpayers’ Association. It provides for a reduction of $750,000 and would cut the rate by 11 cents. The budget is to be gone over item by item, beginning this afternoon, and Miesse will seek to substitute his budget for that drafted by the school board. Only salary cuts suggested are the superintendent, now $12,000, and business manager, now $6,000. Other cuts would be made by Miesse in the sinking fund, automobile maintenance, equipment and fire insurance. COUNTY SCHOOLS OPEN 11,000 Enrollment is 500 Higher Than a Year Ago. First class recitations of the year in county schools were held today with more than 11,000 pupils in attendance. This number of boys and girls living outside the city were enrolled in county rural schools Monday. Fred T. Gladden, county superintendent, has announced this is a gain of 500 over last year. Seventy-five new teachers have been added to the teaching staffs in the thirty-one grade and eleven high schools of the county. VISITS SON: KILLED Father, on Way to Injured Boy, Struck by Automobile.
