HOOVER LAUDS U. S. COPS AS ‘REAL HEROES' Police, Not Thugs Should Be Glorified, Asserts President in Talk. By f nitrd l<rr ** WASHINGTON, Oct, 12—In a radio greeting to the International Association of Chiefs of Police at St. Petersburg, Fla., President Herbert Hoover, speaking from the White, hott.se, said today that the country should glor'fv its police instead of glorifying cowardly gangsters. The President said the police were national heroes and intimated that he thought crime could be suppressed if the police were not hampered by indifferent support, inefficiencies in criminal procedure, and occasional lack of co-operation on the part of prosecuting authorities. Mr. Hoover did not refer to the Wickersham commission report charging widespread police brutality in the use of third degree methods of crime detection. "In not a few of our communities,” said Mr. Hoover, “(he police have been subject to criticism. That criticism arises from the exception and not the rule in police conduct.

Need Glorification of Cops ' Moreover, there is a sentimentalism in some people which makes popular heroes out of criminals, which needs replacement by a sentimentalism that makes a popular hero of the policeman for the courage and devotion he show's in proi tection of our citizens. Instead of glorification of cowardly gangsters, we need the glorification of policemen who do their duty and who give their Lives in public protection. ‘lf the police had the . vigilant, universal backing of public opinion in their communities, if they had Ihe implacable support of the prosecuting authorities and the courts, if our criminal laws in their endeavor to protect the innocent did not furnish loopholes through which irresponsible, yet clever, criminal lawyers daily find devices of escape for the guilty, I am convinced that our police would stamp out the excessive crime and remove the world-wide disrepute which has disgraced some of our great cities.

Wonders at Persistence "But so long as criminals ran proceed with the smug assurance that they can defeat the law there is a constant discouragement to the police. I wonder at times that they maintain the vigilance and courage they do against the odds W’ith which they have to. contend. “I extend to you my cordial good wishes for a helpful convention. I know there will emerge from collective counsel at your meeting an increased skill and resourcefulness and deeper devotion in advancement of public welfare. "I look forward confidently to the day when the moral forces of every community will rally to your support in the fight against crime everywhere. ’’

BANDIT WINS ON INNOCENT FACE’ V Governor’s Action Arouses Hammond Citizens. Because he is small and has a i ‘ baby face” is the only reason Indiana state reformatory trustees recommended commutation of sentence for Charles McManion, Chicago Heights holdup man. * This explanation of the recent action of trustees, approved by Governor Harry G. Leslie, w-as given 1 today by Gaylord Morton, Governor's secretary in charge of pardons and paroles. “I w r as opposed to commutation of sentence for McManion. but the trustees recommended it,” Morton declared. “Homer York, of the board of trustees, said it was done solely because the youth looked so innocent he didn’t seem to deserve to face a twenty-five-year sentence.” Upon recommendation of the trustees, the Governor changed the sentence to “from two to twentyfive years.” which will make McManion subject to parole as having served his minimum time next January. Hammond citizens are aroused over the Governor's action. McManion was given a flat twenty-five-year sentence after having confessed to seven holdups, they declare. He was alleged to have participated in a holdup at Schneider, Ind.. in which Louis Teboda w T as killpd . and . a railroad detective wounded.

Oct. 12. —The $12,500 automobiles in A1 Capone’s garages, : the $7,298.15 worth of floor lamps, chaise lounges and other furnishings in his Palm Island (Fla.) mansion, and the S3O shirts in his bu--1 reau drawers, were checked off by i witnesses at the gang leader’s income tax fraud trial In federal district court today. , Jean Rieves, smartly dressed bookkeeper for the Jack Niles Furniture Company, Chicago, where Capone bought most of his furniture, stood alongside Judge James H. Wilkerson's bench poring over a bulky ledger and identifying entries as Capone purchases. The glimpse into drawing room and music room followed previous views in the Capone kitchen and over the estate, presented by witnesses- called by the government to show that Capone lived in luxury, although he never paid income tax. Phil D'Andrea, Capone's body guard-chauffeur, appeared before Wilkerson on a contempt court charge based on carrying a con- ' cealed weapon into the courtroom Saturday, as a prelude to today's trial session. D'Andrea was arrested Saturday by secret service operatives as he left the federal building with Capone. The judge postponed the hearing until Tuesday morning.

THEY TELL ME

BY BEN STERN PROOF or error of the contention made by the opposition to the McNutt boom for the Democratic nomination for Governor that he is unpopular in his own county and will not have the undivided support of his district in the 1932 convention should be evidenced at the dinner and rally of his district at Franklin. State Democratic leaders have been invited and have signified their intention of attending the dinner, which marks the opening of the campaign in the new Seventh district.

Sponsored by those friendly to the candidacy of the Indiana law school dean and former national commander of the American Legion, political astuteness was exhibited in arranging the program. Instead of having as the principal speaker McNutt or R. Earl Peters, state chairman, or some other known leader in that group, Henry E. White. Johnson county chairman in charge of the meeting, arranged for the principal address to be delivered by Frederick Van Nuys of Indianapolis. Van Nuys is one of the most popi ular figures in Hoosier democracy. Former United States district attorney and state chairman of the party, he steadily has maintained neutrality in the fight between the South Bend and Peters-McNutt

TRIO SLAIN AS GANGS VIE FOR CAPONE THRONE With Al Tied Up in Court, Hoodlum’s Warfare Blazes Anew. By I'nitrd Prrn* , CHICAGO, Oct. 12—The guns of gangdom blazed anew and Chicago assumed again today the appearance it had back in those sensational times before the government stepped in and dragged Scarface Al Capone to the bar of justice. One gangster was riddled by machine gun fire. Another was fished from the river, his skull crushed and sprinkled with lead. A grape merchant was murdered in a mysterious manner. ♦

This wa,s Chicago's record for the twenty-four hours before Scarface Al, stripped of his friends and perhaps of his power, sneaked back today into the federal court where he was on trial. ‘Madman’ Is Suspected In the background of the news of the day stalked a sinister figure, that of Frank (Madman) McErlane, j the fugitive gunman whom the po- ; lice call crazy and whom they acI cuse, among other things* of ' slaughtering his wife and her two | pet dogs while on a drinking spree more prolonged even than the one which reached its climax when he stood on a street corner and blazed i away with shotguns at imaginary j enemies w ; ho popped out of gin bottles. To police veterans who have survived the bjoody street and alley wars which began years ago with the murder' of Dion OBanion in his flower sjiop, today's murders and today's trial seemed, somehow, to be related. Capone, w'ho was credited with organizing all the. gangs into one band, has been on trial a week, spending all his time in court, unable personally to prevent the ever present underworld civil skirmishes from becoming wars.

The possibility of his being sent j away has been emblazoned every day in every local paper. The gangs | are fighting again. Wilson Bullet-Riddled It sounded just like one of the i reports back in the Torrio- ; O’Banion - Capone - Genna -AielloLombardo days when police recorded officially Sunday night the finding of George Wilson's body in the heart of what once was known as “The Valley,” a near-west-side ! section noted as an old-time "training ground” for gunmen. Wilson, who was 33, formerly was a policeman. He had been arrested frequently since his dismissal from the force in 1923. Three girls found his body in the street. He had been shot eight times, once in the head, once in the neck, and six times in the body. The regular spacing of the wounds marked the slaying as an old-time machine gun shooting. Police theorized that Wilson was caught in a war of the gangs for the power which the papers indicated Capone might be losing. ’Madman’s’ Enemy Slain The slaying of James L. Quigley was perhaps eren more sensational. Quigley was better known than Wilson. He had been accused of several murders. He was known as an enemy of “Madman” McErlane. Quigley’s body was fished from the river. He had been shot in the head and body. Detectives figured he had been in the water since just about the time the “Madman” disappeared. They advanced a theory that McErlane got drunk, killed Quigley, (hen shot down his wife and her dogs and left their bodies in his limousine. The third slaying was that of Anthony lalongo, 40, a grape mer- j chant who was lured from his home i and shot down across the state line 1 in Indiana. lalongo was in business on the south side—the end of town McErlane claimed. Mystery surrounded the slaying of lalongo. Police were not sure it was a gang killing. ‘Y’ BRANCH TO MEET Phyllis Wheatley Advisors to Map Girl Reserves' Program. All advisors of the Phyllis Wheatley Y. W. C. A. will meet at 7 Tuesday night in the committee room of the branch to discuss plans for a Girl Reserves’ anniversary program, Nov. 1 to 7.

groups for control of the state organization. Although he Is mentioned constantly for the senatorial nomination. he has refrained from attempting to build up an organization. .All this has added to his reputation. and his selection as the orator of the day aids materially in lessening the partisan tinge of the Discovery day banquet. Another factor of importance in the show is the fact that Lee BaysT old Second district chairman, who camp within half a vote of being elected chairman last year, is to be one of the principal guests. Leaders of the Peters opposition have been attempting to keep open any wounds that may have resulted from that fray, but if Bays still smarts he has been successful in concealing this feeling. It is probable that Bays will be asked to introduce McNutt. If he does, it will be a triumph for supporters of the law school dean. Among others expected to be present are three congressmen— Louis Ludlow of Indianapolis, who cherishes senatorial aspiration; Arthur Greenwood of Washington, whose friends have been advancing him for the same honor, and Harry Canfield of Batesville. Asa whole, the dinner tonight will be an important indication of the undercurrent in Democratic circles and party leaders will watch closely th# reactions and the attempt to gauge what is in the offing by the atmosphere of the affair.

WOMAN IS ACCUSED OF BUYING POISON

Druggist Declares He Sold Bottle of Strychnine to Mrs. Simmons. (Continued From Page 1) in the store we put it in the ‘wantbook.’ “The next day we call the drug house and order from the 'wantbook' and the articles desired are billed to us the day we call,” the south side pharmacist asserted. “How I know it was June 18 is because I ordered a one-eighth ounce bottle of strychnine on June 19 from one drug company.

Keeps Cheek on Deal "The company was out of the drug. I re-ordered it from another drug company. The order was filled and I know the woman who purchased the poison was in the store the day before and took the last bottle of strychnine I had in stock," he said. Friedman showed the bills from drug companies verifying his statements and bearing out his contention that the poison was purchased on June 18. During the last two weeks of the trial, Friedman has worried over his "silence.’' “At times I intended going up there. When they began accusing Jackson of the crime, I felt more keenly that I should find out definitely if my identification of her photo would be borne out. "One time I told an Indianapolis policeman .about it and he told me it was outside of Marion county and that it was up to officers in Lebanon to handle it,” Friedman said. Against Chair Death The mild-mannered druggist made his identification with the hope "that she doesn't go to the electric chair.” But mild-mannered as he is in demeanor he is a fury on foot and in his drug store, especially in holdups. Several years ago Friedman can recount when he fought a gun battle with a bandit in his store. The day set *bv Friedman as that of the wholesale purchase of the strychnine was the day that the Riley Hospital Cheer Guild held its breakfast reception in the Clavpool. with a tour of the hospital following the breakfast. The reception was scheduled for 11 a. m. Mrs. Simmons, was seen at the hospital following the reception and later at the Clay pool.

SUPREME BENCH WUN'T REVIEW CITIZEN RULING Hughes Writes Violently Dissenting Opinion in ‘Arms’ Case. By Unitrd Prettn WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.—Professor Douglas Clyde Mackintosh, Yale theology professor, and Miss Marie Averill Bland, New York City nurse, today were denied reconsideration by the United States supreme court of the decision of last spring which denied them citizenship because of their conscientious scruples against war. Professor Mackintosh refused to take the citizenship oath without making the qualification that he would bear arms only in event of what he considered a just war. Miss Bland flatly refused to swear to bear arms at all. although willing to assist the nation in any other way. Five members of the court held that this was sufficient to bar from citizenship. „ Four members, headed by Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes, who wrote a violently dissenting opinion, held that they should be admitted in spite of their conscientious scruples. Other decisions handed down today were: Rejection of a contention that a federal dry agent can not arrest a suspect and search his person for liquor without a warrant. Appeal for a review of his three-year sentence under the Jones law. made by Eari D. Bess, Huntington, Va., denied. Denial of review in the case of James P. Jones of Richmond. Va., sentenced to five years for embezzlement of $4,000 from the Virginia conference orphanage of the Methodist church, south. Denial of a plea for review by Chicago Union Electrical Workers in the effort to overturn federal court injunctions forbidding them to boycott and strike against buildings in which “open shop'’ Western Union electricians were working. Upholding of the California railroad commission’s order that Los Angeles will get anew union station. The court refused to reconsider its decision of last year, in which it held valid the commission ruling that the three roads running into the city must build a joint terminal. Denial of review of John Garcia of New Orleans, in his attack on the constitutionality of the eighteenth amendment and the Volstead act. The court ruled that it had unheld the validity of prohibition previously.

"Mrs. Simmons was nervous and pale,” she 'said. "She seamed to be affected, as we all were, by the cripple children coming in at the hospital.” Mrs. Todd said she did not see Mrs.t Simmons at the luncheon. Dr. Rollo N. Harger, toxicologist at the Indiana universityl school of medicine, was to take the stand this afternoon to tell that in examining the organs of Virginia and Alice Jean after their deaths he found large quantities of bichloride of mercury in addition to the strychnine. This testimony is to be used by the state to clinch its allegations made earlier in the trial, that Mrs. Simmons had attempted to poison her children two w£eks before the fatal picnic at Memorial park. Relatives on Stand Other witnesses this morning were John Simmons and his son George, who denied poison had been in the Simmons house. The husband also denied that his wife had been in the South Meridian street drug store and said he was with her June 18 on a shopping tour until the time of the luncheon. “I left her before noon and didn’t see her until about 3:30 or 4 in the afternoon,” he said. "Were you with her when she bought the poison in the South Meridian street drug store?” "No,” Simmons said, and turned pale.

ITALY'S FOREIGN MINISTER WILL VISIT STIMSON Grandi's Coming Is Viewed < Sign of Diplomacy's Trend to U. S. 'By Vnitril Prrn* WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.—Italy's foreign minister, Dino Grandi, is to. visit Secretary of State Stimson. next month, shortly after Premier Laval of France concludes his conversations with President Hoover. Thus the f mecca of world diplomacy moves westward. Just as statesmen and potentates converged on London in pre-war days, so now they are coming to Washington _ to talk over world problems—armaments, war debts, reparations and the depression. The Italian foreign minister will sail from Naples Nov. 7, and arrive in Washington about Nov. 17. He will sail for Italy about Nov. 27, thus having ten or eleven days in this country. Friendship Renewed The impending -it grew out of an informal invitation extended bv Stimson when he was in Rome last, summer. The foreign ministers .of the United States and Italy had formed a firm friendship at the London naval conference. It was renewed *;i Rome. A formal invitation to Grandi was extended Saturday through Alexander Kirk, charge d’ affaires ad interim at the American embassy in Rome. Grandi accepted promptly. . Rigidly adhering to official etiquet, Stimson asked Grandi to visit him. not President Hoover. Only heads of states exchange visits. However, Stimson told Grandi he would “be pleased to take this occasion to present you to the President of the United States, who has expressed gratification at the prospect of seeing you.” See It as Opportunity “Both the President and the secretary of state feel that such an. opportunity for personal acquaintance and discussion would be of the greatest value.” There is no doubt in informed circles here that Grandi and Mr. Hoover will have a long conversation about international affairs Probably Stimson will be present ’ • The foreign minister assured Stimson that Mussolini approved of the visit and thought it would be of great value. The American people will see in Grandi one of Europe's most youthul, but most successful, statesmen. He is only 32. A dark beard makes him appear older. His youth expresses itself in an athletic carriage and a fondness for well-cut clothes.
