FALSE ALARMS PROBE PRESSED BY AUTHORITIES Redouble Efforts to Nab Persons Blamed for Fireman’s Death. Police and fire inspectors are working on several new clews to identity of th~ persons who Nov. 1 sounded a faFe Are alarm from a box at Fifteenth and Lafayette streets, sending Fire Lieutenant l ewis L. Stanley to his death, Fire Chief Harry E. Voshell said today. A quiet but determined campaign to apprehend the guilty persons ' s been waged since Lieutenant Stanley was killed and five other firemen were injured in a collision while responding to false alarm No. 413 this year. In the meantime, fire department officials are lecturing in the public schools, conducting an educational campaign to acquaint children with the possibility of death resulting from a false alarm. Two Youths Confess Confessions have been obtained from two 13-year-old youths that they sent in several other false alarms, Voshell said. The two youths, who have been turned to juvenile court, were aapprehended as result of investigation by Harry G. Davis and Roy Howard, Negro, fire prevention inspectors, and Bernard Lynch, fire prevention bureau chief. One youth said he didn’t have any soap to put on windows for ■Halloween, so he sent in two false fire alarms for amusement. “I believe a few convictioas in court will do a lot to stop the sending in of false fire alarms,” Voshell said.

Case to Grand Jury He announced that the case of a woman suspected of calling fire trucks frequently to a house in the 5200 block Guilford avenue has been presented to the grand jury. Asa result of jealousy over attention paid the woman occupying the house by a man admired by the suspect, Voshell said, not only fire trucks, but the coroner, ambulances, loads of coal, bug exterminators and floral wreaths for caskets have been sent to the house. Lynch and Voshell also announced they are submitting to the grand jury confession of a high school girl that at the insistence of an aunt, she twice set fire to the aunt's home. She said the aunt threatened to reveal the theft of $5 if the girl did not burn the house. Each time, the fire was extinguished before much damage was done.

EX-COPS SUE BOARD Four Demand Jobs Lost Upon U. S. Conviction. Two suits have been filed seeking to mandate the Indianapolis safety board to reinstate four policemen who were suspended when found guilty in federal court here of liquor law conspiracy. Thomas Gray and, Claude E. Reidenbach brought mandamus proceedings in circuit court; and similar suit was filed in superior court three by Martin O’Brien and Ralph Lambert. The papers relate details of the indictment of the police by a federal grand jury on charges of accepting bribes and liquor in an alleged speakeasy and of the finding of guilty in federal court. The cir* cuit court of appeals at Chicago reversed the lower court decision. The board of safety however, held that the men had been guilty of conduct unbecoming officers and made permanent the temporary suspension.
