BRAVES FLAMES TO. SAVE WIFE AND CHILDREN Gardener Carries Family to Safety as Home Is Destroyed. Braving flames which blocked their escape from second-floor bedrooms early today, 6us J. Schoeneman, 4825 East Raymond street, rescued his wife and daughters after leaping from an upstairs window. He obtained a ladder and carried his wife, Margaret, and daughters, Evelyn, 11, and Dorothy, 9, to safety. Schoeneman said his wife awakened him when the second floor of his residence became filled with smoke. With electric wiring burned, Schoeneman groped his way to the stairs to find them incased in flames. House, Contents Consumed Kicking a screen from a window, he slid to a porch roof and dropped ten feet to the ground, to obtain the ladder he used to carry his family from the house. The house, valued at $5,000, was burned to the ground. Estimate of the value of burned furniture, some of which was new, was not given by Schoeneman. He was unable to tell what might have caused the fire, declaring the lower section of the house was a roaring mass of flames by the time he had carried his wife and children to safety. He made three attempts to return in the house for money kept there, but was driven back by the flames, he said. Apparatus Arrives Late First declining to aid, Indianapolis and Beech Grove fire apparatus arrived after the fire had been underway nearly an hour, Schoeneman said. County investigators opened a probe of the fire, indicating it may have been caused either by defective wiring or was of incendiary origin. Schoenemans a market gardener. Cries of the children for help while their father was getting the ladder were heard by neighbors, who also said they pleaded with fire companies in Indianapolis to come to the aid of the family ELKS ORGANIZE DRIVE Name Committee to Handle Annual Christmas Charity Work.

What did Community Fund agencies do during the past year? Here are just a few of the things. Pa*d the rent for 4,207 families. Gave service and care to 8,605 families; gave free lodging and meals to 31,310 homeless men and young men; 42,863 unpaid visits were made by nurses to the sick, the injured and the handicapped; 39.560 quarts of milk were given to families where illness and children were involved. The Million Dollar Fund which must be raised in this year's campaign cannot be raised by duplicating last year’s subscription. Every subscription must be increased. It is not a question of how muclpwe can rjive, but how much are we willing to SACRIFICE. It means to give when it hurts. nan Over 3.000 volunteer workers are giving almost two weeks of their time, their efforts and their own money ro put this year’s drive over. They are making a sacrifice that those upon whom they are calling should be willing to match. u n Here is one version of why experts come high. A muncipal plant in a small Colorado town broke down. The man in charge who was also the town constable, superintendent of the water works and street cleaning departments, was at a loss to know what to do. An expert was called in. He took one look, tapped on a certain place with a hammer and told the man to start the plant. His bill was $250.00. When the town council asked him to itemize the bill, it came through thus: Tapping with hammer, $1.00; Knowing where to tap, $249.00. * ft M Inspect your battery more often. Have it tested more regularly, " and if needs recharging don’t hesitate to have it done. It is far less costly to have the battery charged than to overload it and perhaps ruin it. n a The Chief Tire Changer ROSE TIRE CO, Inc. 365 h. Meridian St. MILLER TIRE DISTRIBUTORS

COP SHOT DOWN IN SEARCH FOR ESCAPED BOY Riddled by Shotgun Blast jt Suspected Hideout; Farmer Is Held. By United Preis / BEDFORD, Ind., Oct, 21.—Patrolman Charles Crawford, 42, was wounded seriously late Tuesday night at the home of John Mitchell, 56, near here, where he went in search of a fugitive from the Indiana boys’ school at Plainfield. Mitchell, in custody at the police station here, admitted the shooting, authorities said. Crawford and Cloudy Tyree, deputy sheriff, accompanied Arthur Kirk, John Babb, John Martin and Frank Patren, officers from the boys’ school, to the Mitchell home. They had been told that Lee Henderson, 15, who recently escaped from the institution, was being protected by Mitchell. Crawford was walking from the front of the home to the rear when a shotgun charge, fired from a window twelve feet away, struck him in the head and shoulders. All available Bedford police were called to the Mitchell home. After breaking their way through a door, they arrested Mitchell and his 80-year-old mother, Mrs. James Mitchell. Mrs. Mitchell suffered a nervous breakdown in the police station and was placed under a physician’s care. She told authorities that she saw someone walking outside their home and told her son to fire. Henderson was not found at the Mitchell home. Both Mitchell and his mother denied having seen him.

THEY TELL ME

BY BEN STERN MORE and more is the name of L. Ert Slack, former mayor of Indianapolis, being mentioned in Democratic circles for the nomination to one of the important offices in 1932. Yet party managers declare that although he would, of course, not refuse the nomination either for Governor or senator, his ambition at present is to be a judge of the supreme court. His friends steadily are advancing Slack for this post and large circulation has been given his address at the joint meeting of the Kiwanis and Rotary clubs in Hartford City last week. In this address, among other things, he gave expression to views which are causing comment. nun “Big business must recognize the benefits of a decentralization of profits and through itself, arrange some plan whereby the products of labor shall be spread out and more generally distributed,” he said. “Os course, it means more profit sharing, more interest in the business which they make for others, and the reserve of the earnings of industry to meet not only unfortunate and unforeseen conditions arising in individual instances, but also to meet depression and panic.” Slack declared that federal and state governments should aid in the movement to guarantee “ a fair distribution of wealth and earnings.” Turning his attention to the public utility situation, the former

mayor declared: “I doubt if you can find more than three or four large utilities that are not in a highly inflated condition. Utility rates, which constitute, in the Anal analysis, a tax upon consumers—have been so inflated that immense utility properties have been created and constructed. tt m m “Extravagant and unprecedented valuations have been placed upon these properties, far beyond actual value, for the sole purpose of keeping up high and extravagant rates and charges,” Slack declared. He also charged that the “boards and commissions regulating rates and valuations have been aiding in the program of enriching bondholders and stockholders at the expense of the people, who pay exorbitant rates and charges.” If Slack contemplates becoming a candidate in the convention, he has, to all appearances, picked upon the topics in which the majority of the public is interested and has aligned himself upon the popular side, party leaders say.
