BAKER SETS ARRAIGNMENT OF VEHLING FOR TUESDA Y

PARTY LEADERS WANT CORONER TO RESIGN JOB Commissioners Hint They Will Present Request for Withdrawal. SAYS HE WILL NOT QUIT Judge Suggests Jan. 19 as Tentative Date of Trial. Coroner P’red W. Vehling today was ordered to appear in criminal court. Tuesday morning for arraignment on a charge of soliciting a bribe. The order was issued by Judge Frank P. Baker to Thomas McGee one of the coroner’s attorneys. Baker also told McGee a date for trial of the coroner would be set Tuesday, adding he considered Jan. 19 as the possible date. However, it was reported today that McGee, Fred Barrett and Eph Inman, counsel for the coroner, probably would plead for time. A motion to quash the indictment is expected to be filed, and it was understood a motion for a change of venue would be presented. May Ask Resignation Removal of the trial to another county probably will result in a long delay, it was pointed out. This afternoon George Snider, Dow Vorhies % and Thomas Ellis, county commissioners, were to confer with Charles B. Clarke, county attorney, relative to taking steps to demand Vehling’s resignation. Vehling, w'ho has he did not intend to withdraw from office, has been gathering evidence in his own behalf over the week end, it was said. Commissioners indicated they already had prepared a withdrawal writ, to be approved by Clarke. Marion county Democratic leaders said "they wished” Vehling would resign, but did not believe he would do so voluntarily. Prosecutor Herbert Wilson and Oscar Hagemeier, deputy, announced additional indictments may follow the bribe solicitation charge and impeachment proceedings, scheduled for airing before Circuit Judge Harry O. Chamberlin Saturday. Other Witnesses Appear Wilson and Hagemeier said since Vehling’s arrest Saturday numerour voluntary witnesses have appeared at the courthouse. At this time there is no grand jury in session, but WUson has power to file affidavits. Hagemeier Indicated the new grand jury, to be selected soon, may be instructed to reopen the Vchling investigation. Vehling is charged with demanding $l5O from relatives of Benjamin Stickel, gas victim in March, and with threatening to return a suicide instead of accidental death verdict unless the money was paid. Return of the suicide verdict would have blocked collection of double indemnity on insurance policies held by the gas victim. Vehling is at liberty under a $lO,000 bond signed by relatives.

By United Press FT. WORTH. Tex.. Jan. 4—Supporters of Melvin A. Traylor, Chicago financier, who started as a small town Texas banker, launched a campaign today for his nomination as the Democratic presidential candidate by opening headquarters here. However, the Traylor boo, i is contingent upon what John N. Garner, Texas, Democratic Speaker of the house, does regarding the nomination. Traylor supporters said they hoped Garner would announce his stand soon. The Traylor committee said “Traylor would make an ideal president because he has all the necessary qualifications. A mere banker, farmer, merchant, lawyer, or other specialist, won’t do. It has been demonstrated that a great engineer is not the right man.

RUTH M’CORMICK URGES G. O. P. TO SIDETRACK HOOVER

Republicans Must Choose Leader With Chance of Victory, She Says. By United Press ROCKFORD, 111., Jan. 4.—Mrs. Ruth Hanna McCormick declared President Hoover is not a popular leader and urged the Republican party to select a presidential nominee with a fair chance of victory, in a dictated editorial appearing today in the Rockford Register-Re-public, of which she is publisher. Mrs. McCormick, daughter of the late Mark Hanna, widow of Senator Mcdill McCormick and unsuccessful contestant against J. Hamilton Lewis for the senatorial toga ai the last election, inquired why Hoover “should not be discussed freely and weighed impartially as a seeker for public office,” and urged in her editorial that the party “kick precedent into a cocked hat” by picking another nominee. The editorial contrasts the “hundreds of thousands of Republicans who either will vote against Mr. Hoover or refrain from voting for him” with the united and confident Democrats, and suggests if “a considerable number of Republicans would prefer to have Mr. Hoover step aside as a candidate, the party leaders should sele,.. somebody else." Admitting the entrenched position of the President, “as head of a gigantic corporation which has on its pay roll 700,000 men and women, and supporting 3,000,000 Americans,” the editorial states: “It would be a gratuitous affront to the President to imply that he would, if necessary, marshal this great force and use it for a political purpose in which he is concerned vitally. “A good beginning for the Republican party this new year would be a resolution to stop saying: ‘ln accordance with a time-honored custom, we shall, of course, renominate the President,’ and to begin to say: Who is the best man in the United States for the biggest job Uncle Sam ever tackled?’”

POLICE INSULT CHARGE FAILS Pretty Girl Pays $5 Fine for Traffic Violation. Tears and. pleas that she had been insulted by f. police officer, today failed to save pretty Miss Margaret Bassler, 2620 North New Jersey street, from paying a $5 fine for traffic law violation. Traffic officer William Craven said Miss Bassler was parked double at 116 North Alabama street Saturday afternoon. The l>cation is near the city market house. “I told her to move and she refused to do it,” Craven said. “I come from a respectable family,” the young woman told Municipal Judge Clifton Cameron. “He insulted me. He said he would take me out of the car and send me to headquarters. My mother was in the market and I was waiting for her.” Cameron told her traffic must be kept clear at the market and refused to heed the tearful pleas of the young woman and her mother after the trial. Miss Bassler paid a $5 fine for improper parking. Judgment on a charge of violating a police officer's order was withheld and a count of failure to have a driver's license, dismissed. / G. O. P.

DAMPIER AGAIN GIVEN FREEDOM ‘Luck’ Holds Good; Vagrancy Charges Dismissed. A vagrancy charge* dismissed, Art Dampier, Indianapolis hoodlum, is free today after a week in jail in connection with an alleged fake south side booze raid in November. Lawrence Hiatt, companion of Dampier, charged with robbery vagrancy in the case, is free, under bond of $2,100, to appear in municipal court Tuesday. Chester Alfrey, 134 South Keystone avenue, is held in lieu of $2,100 bond, on similar counts. The trio was nabbed by Lieutenant Dan Cummings Tuesday in west Indianapolis. Hiatt and Alfrey are alleged to have posed as federal dry agents, raided the home of Eric Schelski, 908 S. Peter street, and stolen S4B and two revolvers. Dampier’s freedom ends another chapter in the "luck” of the exconvict. He was released from the state reformatory recently, after serving six months on an assault and battery conviction resultant from a hi-jacking episode. It was revealed by Criminal Judge Frank P. Baker that Dampier was released without either paying a SSOO fine or serving rime for nonpayment. Governor Harry G. Leslie was scored by Baker for granting Dampier clemency on the fine.

NURSE SLAYS TWO CHILDREN Takes Own Life to Climax Grewsome Tragedy. t By Vvital Frets CHICAGO. Jan. 4.—A grewsome tragedy which cost the lives of two ; children was blamed today to the mental derangement of their nursemaid slayer who took her own life. When John H. Heindel and his . wife returned to their'home after a ' brief absence they found their sons George, 8 months, and John, 4, and the nurse, Mary Roth, 23. dead. The maid had suffocated the children by turning on gas jets in the kitchen. To make death double sure, she hanged the infant from his crib and the other from a nail in a basement closet. The woman then hanged herself. Physicians said the woman was suffering a delusion that the children were to be taken form her. She was so fond of the boys that rather than part wKh them, she put her charges to death and took her own life. There was :.io reason, the Heindels said, for the maid to suppose she was going to lose her position. $20,000 CLAIM DENIED, PUBLISHER USES ADS 1 Columbus Newspaper Owner Wages Unique Fight for Damages. i By Times Special COLUMBUS, Ind., Jan. 4.—Although defeated in his suit for $20,000 damages against Pr.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

8-POINT PLAN, HOOVER’S CURE! FOR AILING U. S.— i Special Message Calls on Congress to Rush Finance Program. (Continued from Page 1) dustry and labor against further paralysing influences. "3. Creation of a system of horn*; loan discount banks in order to revive employment by new construction and to mitigate the difficulties of many of our citizens in obtaining mortgage renewals on homes and farms. It has the further purpose of permanent encouragement of home ownership. To accomplish these purposes, we must liberate the resources of the country banks, the savings banks and the building and loan associations. “Under the proposal before congress, most of the capital of these discount banks would be subscribed I by the institutions participating in ’ their use and such residue as might be necessary for’ the federal government to supply temporarily would be repaid in time by such institutions, as in the case of the farm loan banks when they firstwere organized. Restricted by Law “4. The discount facilities of our federal reserve banks, are restricted by law more than that of the central banks in other countries. This restriction in times such as these limits liquidity and tends to increase the forces of deflation, cripples the smaller businesses, stifles new enterprise and thus limits employment. I recommend an enlargement of these discount privileges to take care of emergencies. “5. Development of a plan to assure early distribution to depositors in closed banks is necessary to relieve distress among millions of small depositors and small businesses, and to release vast sums of frozen money. “6. Revision of the laws relating to transportation in the direction recommended by the interstate commerce commission would strengthen our principal transportation systems and restore confidence in the bonds of our railways. These bonds are held largely by our insurance companies, our savings l banks and benevolent trusts, and j therefore are the property of near-; ly every family in the United ; States. The railways are the larg- j est employers of labor and pur-, chasers of goods. Need Bank Safeguards “7. Revision of banking laws in order to better safeguard depositors. “8. The country must have confidence that the credit and stability of the federal government will be maintained by drastic economy in expenditure; by adequate increase of taxes; and by restriction of issues of federal securities. The recent depreciation in prices of government securities is a serious warning which reflects the fear of further large and unnecessary issues of such securities. Our people through voluntary measures and through state and local action, are providing for distress. Through the organized action of employers they are obtaining distribution of employment and thus mitigating the hardships of the depression. Through the mobilization of national credit associations, they are aiding the country greatly. Our duty is to supplement these steps so as to make their efforts more fruitful. The United States has the resources and resilience to make a large measure of recovery independent of the rest of the world. Our internal economy is our primary concern and we must fortify our economic structure in order to meet any situation that may arise and by doing so lay the foundations for recovery. Not Insensible to World This does not mean that we are insensible to the welfare of "other nations or that our own self-inter-est is not involved in economic rehabilitation abroad which would restore the markets for our agricultural and other commodities. But it is our duty to devote ourselves to the problems of our own internal economy not only as the first necessity to domestic welfare, but as our best contribution to the stabilization of the world as a whole. Action in these matters by the congress will go far to re-establish confidence, to restore the functioning of our economic system, and to rebuilding of prices and values and to quickening employment. Our justified hope and confidence for the future rests upon unity of our people and of the government In prompt and courageous action. (Signed) HERBERT HOOVER.

Heiress Faces Trial in Death of Sweetheart

Helen Joy Morgan Premeditated Shooting of Mechanic on Lonely Road Charged. By United Press LANSING, Mich., Jan. 4.—Helen Joy Morgan, heiress to a half million dollar estate, today was to appear in circuit court here on trial for the slaying of Leslie Casteel, her garage mechanic sweetheart. The heiress, a slight young woman of 28 years, has admitted she shot Casteel to death on a lonely road near Glenwood cemetery April 23, according to police. Defense attorneys were to claim the shooting was in self defense. “Yes, I shot him,” police quoted the heiress as saying when she was arrested after Casteel’s body was found. “He threatened me and then drew a revolver. We struggled and I got possession of the gun and fired.” Prosecutor Ralph M. Freeman, however, has discounted the selfdefense claims. He will ask for a continuation on a charge of first degree homicide. “Miss Morgan is very small, while Casteel was a big man, weighing over 200 pounds,” the prosecutor said. "She could not have wrested the gun away from him as her story indicates. State witnesses will prove the gun belonged to her and the shooting premeditated.” The heiress has been free on $15,000 cash bond since her arrest.

LEAGUE VIEWED FAGING CRISIS Japan First to Test Pacts, Oxnam Points Out. When the League of Nations meets Jan. 25 to solve the Manchurian situation, it will be facing its supreme test, Dr. G. Bromley Oxnam, president of De Pauw university, told the more than capacity audience in Roberts Park Methodist Episcopal church Sunday night. “It will be the first time that a first-rate power, Japan, has violated the nine-power agreement and the Kellogg anti-war pact,” Dr. Oxnam declared. “If the league should fail in bringing peace, its next step would be to put trade bans on the Japanese in an effort to halt their resort to arms.” Dr. Oxnam traced briefly the historical background of the present Manchurian situation. He said the Japanese believe that Manchuria should be under their control because of Japan's investment of $850,000,000 in Manchuria, because of Japan’s need for a source of raw materials, and because of the belief that Manchuria is a “first line of defense” which the Japanese must control in case of a war with Russia. Dr. Oxnam returned to Grecncastle Christmas, after spending three months in Japan as a member of the Rockefeller Foundation commission, studying educational conditions. FAILS AFTER YEAR Given Chance, Youth Slips as Parole Is Ended. For a year Eugene Schneider, 17, of 917 Division street, trod the straight and narrrow path. That was because he had been “given another chance.” When Eugene was brought into criminal court for stealing fixtures from a school, Nov. 7, 1930, the court withheld judgment on the charge because of his youth. Throughout the year he reported regularly to a probation officer. Tuesday he made his final report. Tuesday night he was arrested, accused of breaking into a dry goods store. Criminal Judge Frank P. Baker today sentenced him to one to five lears at the state reformatory. BISfIOP TQ OPEN SERIES Methodist Leader Will Speak at Meridian Church Tonight.

NAB SUSPECT IN HOLDUP MURDER Columbus Man Is Returned Here for Grilling. Held as a suspect in the robbery slaying of William Layton, barber, last May, Frank McQueen was being questioned today by detectives after he had been returned ;rom Columbus, Ind., to face a murder count. The holdup took place as Layton walked near the Monon railroad on Michigan street. Layton was shot as he resisted the attack of two gunmen. Arrested in Missouri two weeks ago for riding freight trains, McQueen was returned to Columbus. Authorities in Missouri said McQueen appeared mentally unbalanced and, under the state law, was returned to the county in which he resides. Learning of his return to Indiana, city defectives nabbed him as the murder suspect. McQueen, officers said, was implicated in the Layton robbery and killling by Thomas McCubbins, one of the alleged bandits, who now is serving a fifteen-year term at the Indiana state prison.

Brother Cap By United Press WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.—The revelry was at its height, the midnight climax near at hand. A fraternity house door opened and an elderly man in evening dress entered. He was unobserved for several moments. Finally, one of the gay young dancers saw a stranger was in their midst. “Ha,” he exclaimed; “‘we have a guest!” Advancing upon the newcomer, the college boy delivered a hearty slap upon the back and cried: , “I’m Milt Dennis; and who are you?” “I’m Senator Capper.” was the reply. The Kansas senator, an alumnus of Kansas State, had been on the fraternity mailing list for some time, but it was the first of its parties he had attended. He remained for two hours, apparently enjoyed himself among the pretty girls and youthful revelry, and then departed with the remark: “I’m not quite so young as I used to be.”

ROAD CHIEF TO FIGHTOUSTER Two Officials on Job as Highway Superintendent. Action to replace Charles W. Mann, Republican county highway superintendent, with a newly appointed Democrat, brought an order today from commissioners that he defend his right to office at a hearing. This hearing, on charges of “incompetency, malfeasance and neglect of duties,” which were to be filed against Charles Mann today, will be held before commissioners Saturday. Both Charles W. Mann and John S. Mann, newly appointed Democrat, reported for work as highway superintendent today. Charges are being filed against Charles Mann, despite a statement from Dow W. Vorhies, Democratic president of the county commissioners, that “Mann has made an enviable record as highway superintendent.” Charles Mann is fighting the ouster because he declares that he was appointed for a four-year term, only two of which has been served. Verl Pierson, commissioner's court bailiff, served notice on Charles Mann that “you hereby are notified that you have been suspended from the position of highway superintendent, pending a hearing of charges to be filed against, you.’’ George Snider, Republican board member, did not sign the letter, sent out by Vohies and Thomas Ellis, majority board faction. The board has ordered John S. Mann to take the office until the hearing Saturday.

JAILED, FREED. RETURNS WITH ROBBERYSTORY From Cell to Speakeasy, Woman Claims Loss of 5749. Perhaps you think you’ve heard of hectic week-ends—but listen to the week-end tale of Mrs. Pearl Kress, 516 Patterson street. Chronologically speaking, the story goes like this: Saturday night Mrs. Kress found herself in city prison charged with drunkenness and vagrancy. She was accompanied by her mother, Mrs. Anna Kennedy, also charged with inebriation. She was released, and went to a speakeasy on Madison avenue, she says, and was relieved of $749. Battled With Husband Today she appeared before Municipal Judge Clifton R. Cameron and was fined $lO for drunkenness. Then she was threatened with arrest unless she answered questions of detectives about the alleged booze joint robbery. Now for details as related to Cameron. A patrolman testified he saw Mrs. Kress and her husband. John, battling in a taxi near a downtown hotel. “I had waited nearly all night for her,” Kress related on the stand. “She had $1,200 of my money when I saw her Friday night." Mrs. Kennedy declared she was not drunk; her daughter asserted she “might" have had a drink, but the arresting officer was positive both of them were drunk. Refuses to Talk “Why, of course not,” Mrs. Kennedy said. “We had just got out of bed and had not been drinking.’ But they were arrested. And then Mrs. Kress called police to admit she had gone from jail to the speakeasy. “And when I got home $749 I had was missing.” she told police. An assault and battery count against Kress was dismissed, as were the charge of drunkenness against Mrs. Kennedy and the vagrancy charge against Mrs. Kress. Silence Is Broken As the trio prepared to leave the court, detectives halted them. “We want to talk to you about that robbery,” they told Mrs. Kress. “I won’t talk about it,” she declared. “I haven't got anything to sav.” “Make up your mind, Pearl.” the detectives warned. “You either talk or we lock you up." Mrs. Kress is talking. Former “Y” Aid Accused By Times Special HUNTINGTON, Ind., Jan. 4. Among defendants who will be arraigned Jan. 11 in Huntington circuit court is J. A. Kramien, former Y. M. C.
