McCulloch and other prominent Hoosiers. Police Chief Mike Morrissey will provide police escort. Notable men and women of the city and vicinity, including editors and publicists, have been invited. The probable visit of Churchill’s daughter, Miss Diane Churchill, with her noted father, has resulted in arrangements being made on the part of women of the Indiana council to entertain her. Reception to Follow Lecture A woman’s reception committee has been named, including: Mrs. Brandt C. Downev. Mrs. David M. Edwards. Mrs. Isaac Born. Mrs. Wm. Ray Adams. Mrs. G. H. A. Clowes. Mrs. V R.

Miss Marcia Furnas. Ms. Edna Christian. Mrs. Ernest Kncfler and Mrs. William E. Osborn. Churchill will make no public appearance prior to his lecture, but has agreed to a short reception following that event. This is because he must conserve his strength, due to slow recovery from injuries he received when struck by a New York taxicab shortly after his arrival in this country. Churchill’s subject here will be: "The Destiny of English Speaking Peoples.” TWO ARE INJURED IN TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS Man Alighting From Bus Is Hit by Auto, Hurt Seriously.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

CREDIT BILL TO RECEIVE SPEEDY SENATEJCTION Couzens Helpless in Effort to Obtain Delay; Effect Already Felt. By United Pm* WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.—President Hoover's new emergency credit and currency bill is moving through congress with the accelerating speed of an Olympic bobsled. The Glass-Steagall bill was rushed through the house two days ago. Today, it is the senate’s “unfinished business,” with speedy action promised. Senator James Couzens (Rep., Mich.), Tuesday night sought without success to delay the bill. He complained that “others than senators” were amending it, and said it should be recommitted. Senator Curtiss Glass (Dem., Va.), co-author of the measure with Representative B. Steagall (Dem., Ala.), said this was not so. Couzens retorted that Charles G. Dawes’ secret testimony in the bill’s behalf had been taken down by a stenographer and then destroyed. “I have been under great pressure on this bill,” Glass rejoined. “I do not want to delay it. I want to remain outside a lunatic asylum as long as I can.” The bill, which materially would relax restrictions on federal reserve credit and permit issuance of vast amounts of new currency already has added billions to stock market and cotton values. Many members of congress are surprised at its enthusiastic reception in the business world. Private senatorial comment suggests some doubt as to the bill’s efficacy. The opinion is expressed that mere authorization of credit can not make merchants and others borrow. Against such pessimists are arrayed responsible treasury spokesmen, who assert that the bill’s enactment will, at least, end bank failures, or so materially reduce them that they will cease to be a dominant business factor.

Bandits ’ Leader Admits Police Are ‘TooSmart’

"?***?£*'*" v&-a *•

Forest Strother After eight years of defying the law, Forest Strother, 23-year-old gang leader, today decided crime doesn’t pay. He is in Marion county jail under sentence of three to ten years in state reformatory imposed Tuesday by Criminal Judge Frank P. Baker. Only one of Strother’s bandit pals, Jewell Corbin, the “baby” of the gang, was with the leader when he declared: “Police are too smart for me and my pals. This kind of a life doesn’t pay—l’m through.” Corbin, under sentence of fifteen years in the state reformatory, had nothing to say. The roster of the Strother gang includes the names of Charles Vernon Witt, Louis E. Hamilton, Raleigh Munsey, Ray Coherd, Patrick O’Brien all well known to police. Witt, the stoic, in a Michigan City prison death cell awaits the electric chair; Hamilton, his alleged companion in the slaying of Lafayette Jackson, chain store leader, awaits trial; Munsey is serving a twentyyear prison sentence, and O’Brien and Coherd, each is serving ten years. Strother and Corbin were convicted of aiding in the robbery of a Zaring theater employe. Police have charged his gang with many other Indianapolis burglaries, robberies and holdups.

MANN SCORES POINT County Loses Venue Move in Highway Ouster. First victory in his legal fight against ouster charges was won today by Charles W. Mann, Marion county highway superintendent, after Circuit Judge Harry o. Chamberlin overruled a motion for change of venue to an adjoining county, asked by county commissioners. Mann, a Republican, was tried before commissioners several weeks ago and found guilty of neglect of duty, malfeasance and incompetency. Commissioners have appointed John Mann, a Democrat, to the highway post, but he has not assumed duties.
