ARMS PARLEY IS VIEWED AS FORLORN HOPE Little Chance of Success Seen as U. S. Delegates Sail for Europe. SENATORS PESSIMISTIC Holiday of Two to Five Years Is Regarded as Best to Be Expected. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Srrlpps-Howard Foreign Editor WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-Keenly j alive to the epochal nature of the world conference on disarmament, due to open at Geneva a week from next Tuesday, Washington watched the getaway of the American delegation today with somber misgiv- i mgs. Hardly anybody seriously believes the fifty-odd nation*, with aims as far apart as the poles, will be able to agree on disarmament. The international atmosphere is too hectic with suspicion, fear, and nationalistic ambitions. The best that anybody seems to hope lor here is that the nations may be able—as an alternative to complete failure—to get together on an arms holiday to last, say, from two to five years, during which time the world may get back to normal. Has Little Hope The view of Senator Royal S. Copeland (Dem., N. Y.) might be taken as that of the national capital. Asked if he was expecting my radical reduction of armaments f Geneva, he replied: "Frankly, I think it extremely mlikely that much will come out of the conference. I hope I am ais taken.” Senator Arthur R. Robinson Rep., Ind.), when asked the same question, answered: “I fervently hope that the conference may be helpful in promoting peace, but in view of what has taken place in the past, I am a little pessimistic.” Said Senator John J. Blaine (Rep. ,Wis.): “Europe is not ready for disarmament." Sees Little Reduction Senator M. M. Logan (Dem., Ky.), said he did not anticipate any such cut in the world's war machinery. Senator Robert B. Howell (Rep., Neb.), said: “No.” Said Senator Harry B. Hawes (Dem., Mo.): “No." Said Senator Arthur Capper (Rep., Kan.): “I believe substantial reductions possible: I hope they are probable.” Senator Millard E. Tydings (Dem., Md.): “No.” Senator Walter F. George (Dem., Ga.): “I fear not.” Senator Wesley L. Jones (Rep., Wash.): “I hope so.” Senator C. C. Dill (Dem., Wash.): “If the nations meeting at Geneva want to reduce armaments, they can do so.” Thus goes opinion on Capitol Hill. But while the tone is pessimistic, so far as arms reduction is oncerned. congress generally seems j n agreement with Senator Borah hat arms holiday would be far betor than nothing. Hope for “Holiday” That is to say, if the nations can not agree on arms reduction, every effort should be made to get them to refrain from increasing their anriaments for a given period of years, in the hope of finding a sane solution meantime. Capitol hill seems also of Senator 31aine’s opinion that Europe is not eady for disarmament at this time. Great Britain is uneasy over Euope, Russia, India and the Far East. France is worried over Germany, taly, Russia and China. Italy will not disarm unless Fiance Joes, and French policy, of course, will determine the stand of her allies —Poland, Czecho-Slovakia, Rumania and Lugo-Slavia. Poland .ears both Germany and Russia. Germany to Be Flouted Germany, already disarmed by the treaty of Versailles, will try to make France and the other armed powers of Europe reduce down to her level. But no one expects her to get what she wants. Russia again will likely make her gesture of total disarmament. But, her gesture ignored, she will go on building up what the rest of Europe tears soon will be the world’s biggest army. Japan, with the conquest ot Asia oeckoning to her at a time when the hands of the rest ot the world (cem tied, hardly will scrap her war machine or materially reduce its ■ffectiveness. Stimson Delays Departure Chairman Stimson, succeeding Charles G. Dawes, wil Join the delegation later at Geneva. Until his arrival, Hugh Gibson, ambassador to Belgium, will head the delegation. Norman Davis, former undersecretary of state and Ambassador Gibson are already in Europe. Miss Mary Emma Wooley and Senator Clude A. Swanson, sailing today, will head an advisory and secretarial staff of nearly forty persons, eleven of whom are women. Just before the liner President Harding lifts anchor at 3 p. m. a petition bearing 500,000 signatures and calling upon the world for drastic disarmament will be presented to the delegation by members of-the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom

Son Sobs Story of Jackson Killing at Witt Murder Trial Dramatic Testimony Given in Lebanon Court; Describes Shooting Down of Father by Bandits in Raid on Store. By Timet Special lEBANON. Ind., Jan. 20.—Breaking down twice while testifying, Ches- / ter Jackson today told a dramatic story of the murder of his father by bandits, as the state closed its case against Charles Vernon Witt, charged with the slaying of L. A. Jackson, Indianapolis chain store chief. Chester Jackson sobbed out details of the shooting as the final witness for the prosecution, seeking to send Witt to the electric chair or the aged grocer’s murder.

LONG'S CHOICE WINS ELECTION Allen Far Ahead in Vote for Louisiana Governor. By United Press NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 20.—Huey P. Long's hold on the Democratic electorate of Louisiana appeared clinched today, as his candidate, O. K. Allen, held a commanding lead in the race for nomination for Governor, equivalent to election. The administration’s candidate doubled the vote given his two opponents, Dudley J. Lebranc and George S. Guion. More than three hundred precincts of the state’s 1,441 gave: Allen, 89,000; Leblanc, 25,000; Guion, 16,000. The election was marked with violence, especially in south Louisiana parishes. Police used their clubs to end election fights in New Orleans. Voters in other localities charged that they were forced to ballot under the muzzle of guns. The issue which made the campaign and election so bitter was whether Long would be able to turn over the governorship to one of his followers while he took his seat in the United States senate. Long’s plea for Allen was that he “wanted the good work I have started to go on.”

LOSES DEATH RACE Pilot Braves Gale in Vain Dash With Serum. By United Press PASCO, Wash., Jan. 20.—Tex Rankin, famous speed flier of the northwest, lost a race today when a young Spokane matron succumbed to botulinus poisoning as he was rushing to her aid with life-giving serum. Rankin abandoned his dash from Portland, Ore., when he landed

health officer, who had the only supply in the region. Mrs. Dewar was poisoned after eating string beans which she had canned last summer. Her husband flew from here to her bedside before she died.

FEDERAL COURT TO BE NEXT HOPE FOR STEVE

Further fight for freedom is being planned today by attorneys for D. C. Stephenson, whose murder conviction was affirmed in the supreme court Tuesday by a vote of three to two. B. C. Jenkines and James Parker, Gary attorneys, who, with Clarence Darrow, are the latest defenders of the deposed Klan dragon, announced that they will fight the case through the United States supreme court if necessary. Just what tactics will be pursued in getting the murder case into federal court were not disclosed. The theory has been advanced previously that it could be taken into federal court on the grounds that Stephenson was deprived of his constitutional rights through fear which kept him from taking the witness stand in his own defense at the Noblesville trial. Hope of rehearing of the case by

Jackson was in the office next to his father’s in the central store of the Standard Grocery Company, May 27, 1931, when, it is charged, Witt and Louis E. Hamilton, entered, intent on robbery. “I heard a crash, looked up, and saw Hamilton standing in front of me, pointing-a revolver at me,” the witness told the jury. “I heard him yell something and I begged him not to shoot. “I dropped to the floor and saw Hamilton turn the gun on my father.” At this point the younger Jackson gripped the witness chair, steadied himself and continued. “My father called, ’What’s the matter, son?’ and stood up. As he did this, Hamilton jumped on to the counter and ripped away the wire caging. “Hamilton started shooting pointblank at my father. My father grabbed his revolver and fired once. While this was going on Hamilton was yelling, ‘We want the money,’ and I was trying to make myself heard as I told the bandit he could have it. “The next thing I remember was when my father fell to the floor. I saw Hamilton turn toward the door, shooting all the time. Shots were coming from every place and Witt ran from the back of the store. Hamilton’s head was bleeding “As detectives ran into the office, Witt shot one of them in the head. My father died the next day from bullet wounds.” Bolstered by success in preventing Witt’s purported confession (Turn to Page Eight)

Counsel’s Question Gives Intimation That Another May Be Accused. By United Press PHOENIX, Ariz., Jan. 20.—Attorneys for Winnie Ruth Judd intimated today they may try to cast suspicion on someone else in the killing of Agnes Anne Leroi, with which a preacher’s frail, attractive daughter is charged. The hint was carried in a question addressed to a prospective juror by defense counsel Herman Lewkowitz early in the second day of Mrs. Judd’s trial. It was objecteed to promptly by the state. Judge Howard Speakman ruled out the question, and Lewkowitz had no opportunity to develop the angle. Lewkowitz’ question was long and involved, but in effect it was this: “If you sit in this trial as a juror and evidence is produced casting a reasonable amount of suspicion on someone else, would you acquit this defendant?” State counsel shouted sharp objections, which were sustained promptly. Mrs. Judd, who also is accused of slaying Miss Helvig Samuelson in the Phoenix-Los Angeles trunk murders, appeared refreshed and calm as she faced the courtroom crowds today. STEALS ‘MERCrGiRUCK “Meanest Thief” Found Again as Souphouse Is Looted. A criminal, who has no regard for the salvation of the poor in Indianapolis, is sought today by police. He is the culprit who, Tuesday night, stole the “mercy” truck of the city souphouse at 227 East Maryland street. The truck is used daily to collect soup and milk cans of the poor which are filled and redistributed.

the state supreme court also was expressed. Jenkines cited the failure of the high court to dismiss the petition for writ of error coram nobis as indicating that the matter is not settled and the avenue of relief in the state courts not finally closed. Grant of the writ by the court would permit introduction of new evidence in the case. Although the three judges affirming the murder conviction handed the case down marked “Per Curiam,” the forty-six page opinion is thought to have been written by Justice Curtis W. Roll. It was signed by Justice Roll, David A. Myers and Julius C. Travis. Dissenting opinions, which would reverse the findings and grant Stephenson anew trial, were written by Justices Clarence R. Martin arid Walter E. Treanor.

INDIANAPOLIS, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 20, 1932

REACH ACCORD ON U. $. CREDIT BRASSAGE House, Senate Conferees Say Measure Can Get Action Thursday. NAVY PROGRAM FLAYED Economy Plan May Wreck Nation in Event of War, Asserts Admiral. By United Press WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.—House and senate conferees today found a basis of agreement on the administration’s $2,000,000,000 emergency credit project and said privately that the measure could go to the senate Thursday for final action. The conferees will meet at 3 p. m., and may require a night session to complete their deliberations. The senate, meantime, was scheduled to act finally on the $125,000,000 federal land bank relief bill, which includes a provision for a five-year discretionary moratorium to farm borrowers. Another of the administration’s relief proposals encountered increasingly vigorous opposition as mortgage bankers continued their protests before a senate subcommittee against the proposed home loan bank system. Henry Robinson of the Commonwealth Title Company, Philadelphia, told the committee the banks would not be self-sustaining and in the end would leave mortgages just as frozen as they are now. Denies Credit Difficulty Winston K. Ogden, Summit, N. J., residential contractor, said there was no difficulty now in obtaining credit for worthy building enterprises. He feared the bill would revive speculative building and eventually cause further deflation of real estate prices. Thomas F. Clark, New Haven, Conn., told the senators that home owners would lose in the long run, if the home loan bank system is established. President Hoover proposed the bill to thaw small mortgages and stimulate residential construction to increase employment. Senator Reed (Rep., Pa.), today gave notice that he would move for higher tariff rates if depreciation of foreign currencies is shown to have opened United States markets to foreign products to the disadvantage of labor here. Reed made the statement in the senate a few minutes after the senate finance committee decided to take upu Friday the Democratic tariff revision bill passed by the house. The senate Tuesday passed Reed’s resolution asking the tariff commissoin to report on the effect of foreign currency depreciation. • Stimson Is Adamant Secretary of State Stimson refused three times today to acede to requests of the senate finance committee for submission to it of correspondence of the state department regarding loans to Colombia. The third refusal left the secretary and the committee in a deadlock, the committee having served a virtual ultimatum upon Stimson that the correspondence be produced by Monday. Stimson rejected the ultimatum almost as soon as he heard of it. A bitter attack on President Hoover’s naval economy policy was made in the house naval affairs committee, with Representative Britten (Rep., 111.) leading the questioning. Rear Admiral Upham, chief of the navy bureau of navigation, told the committee, in response to questions, that the naval economies effected during the last year conceivably might “wreck” the nation, in an emergency. Need Larger Army Britten told the committee that General McArthur, chief of staff, had expressed the opinion that unless congress approved the Vinson warship building program he, McArthur, would be forced to ask congress for a larger army in order to eb prepared “to defend the honor of the United States. Upha mtestified that the navy personnel was now only 84.6 per cent of what wuold be needed to man the ships in war time. Upham said it was a “logical conclusion” that if the present naval policy is continued, “it is possible that the United Sttaes might have to abandon protection of its foreign commerce in some emergency.” Speculative cotton market transactions were defended before the house agriculture committee by Russell .Clarfl, president of the New Orleans Cotton Exchange, as a stabilizing factor in cotton prices which protects both the farmer and the consumer. Opposes “Short” Bills Clark appeared io oppose various bills before the committee which j would restrict short selling on both cotton and grain exchanges. The Rankin bill, authorizing pensions for widows and orphans of World war veterans, advanced a step today when a house veterans’ subcommittee approved the legislation over protest of the administration. The subcommittee decided to confine the pensions to widows with children, upon advice of > Frank T. Hines, administrator of* veterans' affairs. Pensions of S2O for such widows and $6 for each dependent child are provided.

POSTAGE HIKE URGED Three-Cent Rate Is Asked by Brown. By United Press WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.—Post-master-General Brown today recommended to the house ways and means committee that first-class postal rates be increased from 2 to 3 cents. Brown estimated that such an increase, putting letter mail back on the war-time rates, w r ould bring in an additional $100,000,000 in postal revenues. This would relieve the hardpressed treasury of making up that much of the postoffice department’s usual deficit. Congress had to appropriate $195,000,000 for this fiscal year to meet the postal deficit. Brown said that if second, class rates of 1921 were effective now they would increase revenues $5,000,000 from that source. KAISER IS IMPROVING Wilhelm Strolls in Park for First Time Since Illness.

POLICEMEN KILL BANDIT AT THIRD HOLDUP SCENE

Trapped in the fire of police guns, Eugene C. Ingram, 23, of Mooresville, Ind., was slain Tuesday night, after he had held up three filling stations on the south and west sides with empty revolver. Ingram, who lived a triple life as employment agency operator, salesman and bandit, was shot by Sergeant Arthur Hueber and patrolman Harry O’Mara immediately after he had robbed the attendant of a National Refining station at Sixteenth street and Kessler boulevard. Hueber, O’Mara and patrolman Albert C. Brahaum leaped from their car as Ingram came out of the station with S2O he had taken from Glenn Hessler, 24, attendant, after terrorizing Hessler and his wife with the unloaded revolver. “Stick up your hands, buddy. We’ve got you this time,” Hueber told Ingram. Instead, the bandit leaped into his car. As Hueber stepped to the running board, he started to back away. Hueber, losing his grasp on the car, fired through the car door,

PERILS TO PUPILS’ HEALTH AND LIVES ARE BARED IN PUBLIC SCHOOL INSPECTION Conditions in Buildings Attended by 5,000 - City Children Are Branded Unsafe and Insanitary. f ANCIENT BOILERS SEEN AS MENACE Survey by Superintendent Osier Adds Weight to Charges Made by President of Board in Address. More than 1 5,000 Indianapolis public school children 'are attending schools where conditions admittedly are decidedly “unsafe and insanitary,” it was revealed by school officials today, following charges Tuesday by Russell Willson, school board president, before members of the Gyro Club. Willson said that “in the budget for the present school year the board of commissioners requested $120,000 for school building repairs, but this amount was cut $20,000 by the state board of tax commissioners.

“We are urable, with this amount, to put all of our nine-ty-seven public school buildings in safe and sanitary condition.” At school No. 12, it was revealed today, a boiler, installed more than twenty-five years ago, and even then second-hand, still is in use. * Boiler Just Patches H. F. Osier, superintendent of buildings and grounds, reported to Willson that the boiler “has been patched year after year, until now it is a case of putting a patch on a patch. It is getting near the point of being almost impossible to keep together.” Last fall, when hearings were held, Osier made a plea for funds to install anew boiler at No. 12, but William H. Book, chairman of the civic affairs committee of the Chamber of Commerce, was reported to have said, “If the boilers could be used last year, they can be used this year.” “That isn’t the attitude we want,” asserted Willson today. “That boiler isn’t going to explode, or anything like that. No Immediate Danger “There is no immediate danger whatever, but we can’t keep putting these things off. We want our children to be housed in schools where there isn’t a single trace of peril.” Information disclosed in Osier’s year-end report of the board of commissioners revealed such conditions that additional information was requested. Osier’s personal letter to Willson formed the basis of the latter’s speech to the Gyro Club, in which he said that thirteen elementary schools and three high scools needed repairs badly. School No. 12 has 563 pupils, official figures showed today. Fire Hazard Present Osier's letter to Willson cited the fact that at one school there is only six inches of space between the boilers and the flooring of the classrooms above. In the event of overheating, which is not likely, because the boiler is a low pressure plant, there would be a grave fire hazard, and Osier reported that the space is so scant that the underside of the floor can not even be lined with asbestos. The trouble lies in the original construction, not enough “head room” being provided above the boiler, and Osier said that it would cost more to reline and repair the situation than to install anew heating plant. Action Called Unwise • “It certainly is unwise,” said Willson, “even in times like these, to curtail school expenditures. We should make our buildings safe for our children, and our motto should be ‘the child first.’” At seven elementary schools, Nos. 18, 20, 45, 51, 57, 60 and 70, old cast iron toilet equipment is in use, branded by Osier as “germ and odor breeders.” “They most certainly need new

the bullet striking Ingram under the left armpit. At the same time O’Mara fired a charge from his shotgun which tore off part of Ingram’s face. The bandit was dead when police opened the car. , . First trace of Ingram’s activities came shortly before 8:30, when he held up Earl Rader of Plainfield, attendant in a filling station at Madison avenue and Pleasant Run parkway, fleeing with sls. Half an hour later, Ingram struck again at another station at Lyndhurst drive and the National road, where he obtained $15.35 from Joseph Concumas, 22, attendant. Ingram, married a year and a half, was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Addison H. Ingram of Danville, Ind. The young bandit was dressed in the height of style, and in addition to the money he had stolen and the empty revolver he carried a receipt showing he had purchased an employment agency Jan. 16 for $350. His father said he also had been employed as a tobacco salesman.

School No. 18 has 596 pupils, No. 20 has 492, No. 45 has 554, No. 51 has 858, No. 57 has 629, No. 60 has 690 and No. 70 has 815. “Although there is no immediate danger,” declared Willson today, “the tax-paying public has a right to know in what condition our schools are and has a right to insist that they be made safe. It is a tremendous task to overcome public apathy. With the iimited amount of funds available during the current year, Willson said, these conditions can be remedied, and other school officials today took opportunity to commend Osier for his accomplishments in overcoming the fund dilemma which confronts his department at every turn.

JURY INDICTS GARY'S MAYOR Probe Group Makes Charge of Official Misconduct. By United Press CROWN POINT, Ind, Jan. 20. Mayor Roswell O. Johnson of Gary, who served ten months in federal prison at Atlanta m 1924, was indicted by the Lake county grand jury today on two counts charging malconduct in office. The indictments voted today charge that Johnson used city funds to construct a summer beach home and to build a rock garden at his residence in Gary. Johnson was charged with being “unlawfully, willfully and corruptly guilty of oppression, malconduct and misfeasance in the discharge of his duties as mayor.” The charges were brought by Robert Estill, Lake county prosecuting attorney, before the grand jury, sitting here. Johnson is serving his third term as mayor of Gary. He first was elected in 1913 and served a complete term. He was re-elected in 1921, but indicted and found guilty on charges of heading a Gary liquor conspiracy. He was sentenced to eighteen months in Atlanta penitentiary and served ten months in 1924 before being pardoned by President Coolidge. LABOR CHIEF, DENTAL HEAD, ASK FOR BEER “Create Law Respect,” “Save Mothers and Children,” Senate Begged. By United Press WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.—Matthew Woll, vice-president of the American Federation of Labor and president of labor’s national committee for modification of the Volstead law, today urged legalization of beer before the senate committee hearings-on pending beer legislation. He told the committee that legalization of beer would reduce the demand for hard liquor; “end the reign of gangsterism and the corruption of public officials, and create real respect for law*” President Martin Dewey of the American Dental Association pleaded for legalized light wines and beer ‘ in the interest of protecting and nourishing the health of expectant mothers and their unborn children.” ADAMANT ON PAY CUTS Councilmen Refuse to Restore 10 Per Cent Clashes.
