THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

$500,000 MORE FOUND IN AGED WOMAN’SDRESS ‘Little Lady,’ 93, Stamps Defiance After Search Yielding Million. By United Press NEW YORK, Oct 10.—A frail but spirited little lady of 93 years, once the belle of mid-Victorian days, today stampe her defiance of searchers spurred by discovery of nearly a million dollars in currency she hoarded in her hotel room “because she was afraid of banks.’’ They found $400,000 in a little paper bundle a few days ago. Thursday they found a half million in SIO,OOO bills hidden within the folds of her voluminous dresses, it was learned Friday. Rare laces, gems and period costumes that rate as museum pieces have bee nrevealed in trunks within that same room in which Mrs. Ida E. Wood had dwelt for many, many years. Money Hoarded Since 1907 Next week, trunks now in storage will be searched for possible rare treasures such as have been revealed daily hidden away in rubbish, under carpets, within mattresses and bed clothing, and in her own garb of a mode a half-century old. Her fortune in currency, it has been revealed, probably has been closely guarded since she dithdrew it from the banks during the panic of 1907. In that year she closed the last of her savings accounts. Also, she had lost a small fortune some time previously in an investment later made good by the J. P, Morgan Company." It was learned today that some of the restored money was among that found this week. Resents Guardianship Her fear of banks grounded on her experiences of that time cropped out in her exclamations to one visitor Friday. “What good are banks? What about the bank of United States? I’ve still got my money, but where are the banks?” Mrs. Wood has been adjudged incompetent. Her affairs now are in the hands of Otis F. Wood, son of Fernando Wood who was New York’s mayor in the fifties. That she resents. She fights off efforts to care for her, for during the last four years she has lived alone. Only a favored few were permitted to enter her room. She resisted efforts to take her curency and depost it in the banks; the last $500,000, in fact, was removed from her dresses while she slept under the effect of a sedative. Clippings Recall Past Nurses now caring for the aged woman permit her to believe she still is keeping house for herself. She helps them wipe the dishes, and she still cooks her own eggs and boils her own coffee. Today she looks forward to something new—a radio. It will be placed in her room at the direction of her nephew Otis, and, so far as is known, will be the first she has heard. Meanwhile, the search goes on for treasures, she had owned when she danced with Prince Edward of Wales, when she attended the Infanta Eulalia ball at Madison Square garden in 1893, and the Empress Eugenie ball in Paris back in 1870. They are described in clippings found in her room.

NAMED HEAD OF SAVINOSLEAOUE Evansville Man Is Choice at State Parley. H. A. Strassweg of Evansville was elected to succeed Carl J. Weber as president of the Savings and Loan League of Indiana at the final session of the organizations convention at the Lincoln Friday. Mr. Strassweg formerly was first vice-president. Newly elected first vice-president of the league is Charles E. Conger. Mark L. Dickover of Valparaiso is second vice-persident. James E. Pierce of Indianapolis, secretary, and George F. Ogden of Peru, treasurer, were re-elected to their positions.

THEY TELL MSI

BY BEN STERN IF the hopes and wishes rarely mentioned, but with difficulty concealed, of Senator Arthur R. Robinson and his friend and political mentor, George V. Coffin, could be thrown upon a screen, they probably would shock many loyal and faithful Republicans of the county and state. In the six years of his experience in the United States senate, Robinson has managed to acquire, besides an affectation in his speech, the art of dissembling. Although no modern Machiavelli, Coffin has essayed to play this role for his “Prince,” who is Robinson, and because of the somber outlook for the Republican party in the state, he may get away with it. ' As the political situation looms, Democrats will be elected to congress from the majority of the districts, the Republicans will lose all state offices, and Senator James E. Watson will go down to defeat. Those Republicans who are not trying the hypodermic of optimism readily admit this to be true. With such a wholesale defeat, the Republican remaining in office will be, at *least in name, the party leader in Indiana, because he will be the only figure. This would be Robinson. In event of a lucky break and the election of a Republican President in 1932, and defeat for Republican candidates in Indiana, Robinson would be even more powerful. Being the only important Repub-

Civic to Open Its Season “Let Us Be Gay” to Be the Opening Bill at the Playhouse. THE Civic theater will begin its new season Saturday night, Oct. 17, when it is to open the doors of its own Playhouse at Nineteenth and Alabama streets for the first performance of “Let Us Be Gay. Featured as guest artist in this sparkling comedy success will be ! Judith Lowry in the role of Mrs. Boucicault which was made famous on Broadway by Charlotte Granville and on the talking screen by Marie Dressier. A select group of the best players available in the roster of the Civic theater will support Miss Lowry. The play’s action is unfolded in a prologue and three acts. It tells of a young wife who divorces her husband because of his infidelity and-in spite of his protestations of unwavering love for her. For three years, she travels through the capitals of Europe, living and loving in a light-hearted manner. On her return to this country, she receives an invitation to a house party at the stately Westchester home of Mrs. Boucicault, a wealthy and somewhat eccentric dowager whom she had met in Paris. The elderly woman and the dashing young divorcee had become close friends abroad, and the latter accepts the invitation to the weekend party. She soon learns that Mrs. Boucicault wishes her to save a granddaughter from a philanderer

lican office holder in the state, he would control all federal patronage. The Republicans ousted from iY-ate and county posts would look to nim for jobs and he would be in a position to dictate terms to all party managers. Simply, the outlook is this: Let his party be defeated in the state and Robinson wields the whip. What could be easier and simpler than for Robinson and Coffin to take over the organization just as Watson controls it at present? u u It is no secret that the Watson forces are in charge of all except one district organization, the old Seventh, or Marion county, and that as long as this continues, Robinson’s own chances for renomination in 1932 are in jeopardy. With the beautiful picture painted for Robinson, depicting him as rewarding the faithful with largesse and punishing those who question his authority, is it any wonder that the junior senator is not worried greatly about the dire outlook for 1932? And Coffin has waited for years to repay the slights and rebuffs which came his way after the McCray bribery case. So he has an incentive. If, however, Robinson and Coffin believe they are “kidding” the organization men, then they are not as astute as they imagine themselves to be. A battle royal between Watson and Robinson would be interesting, and entertaining. “On with the gladiators!" shouts the populace.

On request, sent with stamped addressed envelope, Mr. Ripley will furnish proof of anything depicted by him.

LAVISHNESS OF PAST RISES TO i TAUNT CAPONE U. S. Puts Croesus Tag on Gang Czar, on Trial for Tax Fraud. BY RAY BLACK United Press SUIT Correspondent CHICAGO. Oct. 10—A background of riches was built up for A1 Capone by the government today at his income tax fraud trial. The government seeks to show that Capone was not the $75-a----week gang handy man he pretends, but an underworld Croesus with a thick roll of SSOO and SI,OOO bills always in his pocket, a Florida island mansion, a Chicago hotel suite that cost him $1,500 a week, and a spendthrift trait that led him to scatter $5 tips. As the gang “big shot" faced the fifth day of his trial on a charge of defrauding the government of $215,000 tax on a six-year income of $1,038,654, the prosecutor’s battle to send him to prison for a maximum of thirty-two years had gone steadily against him. $75,000 Sent to Florida The latest phases of testimony admitted by his own attorneys as damaging to his case were: That his Chicago underlings telegraphed nearly $75,000 to Capone during the winter of 1928-29. That be bought a $40,000 estate on Palm Island, Miami, rendezvous of a fashionable winter colony and near the house where Herbert Hoover as president-elect spent some time in January, 1929. That for his eight-room suite in the Metropole hotel here he paid $1,500 weekly and spent $3,000 on one two-night party to celebrate the Dempsey-Tunney fight. Letters to U. S. Bared Those damaging additions to the government’s body of testimony followed the prosecution’s success in getting admitted as evidence a letter in which Capone's Washington attorney stated he believed Capone’s income in four years was $266,000 and its tentative success in connecting the “Scarface” with Cicero gambling houses which netted huge profits. The government must prove only that Capone had an income of $5,000 in any one year that was taxable. He admits he never paid tax. The jury of small town tradesmen heard from Fred S. Avecy, promotion manager, and Macßamsey Smith, day clerk of the Metropole hotel, where the gang chief had headquarters, how he peeled off $3,000 from a roll to pay for the two-night party and had “plenty left.” 1,500 Miles to Testify They heard from Parker Henderson, then owner of the Ponce de Leon hotel at Miami, how he cashed telegraphic money orders for Capone under the name “Albert Costa” and how he spent, at Capone’s direction, $2,000 for a wall and $4,000 for a swimming pool at the Palm Island estadte. To many of the jurors, the price of the swimming pool represents considerably more than they earn in a year. Miss Anna McNeil and Miss Katherine Gaines, employes in the Miami Western Union offices, identified the transfers by which Capone got his money in Florida. They came some 1,500 miles to speak a dozen words each.

Third, at times there is an annoying electrical disturbance that upsets radio reception. J. T. In reply to roar first complaint.
