RAIL DETECTIVE BEATEN, NEGRO SHOT IN CLASH 'Alleged Coal Thieves Face Five Charges for Assault. Beating of a railroad detective •nd wounding of a Negro marked fi flareup this morning in a clash involving officers and alleged coal thieves, and brought a statement from Donald O’Brien, general yardmaster of the Nickel Plate railroad, that drastic steps will be taken to halt the thefts. Twelve years ago a similar situation resulted in the slaying of a railroad officer. Theodore Woodbeck, Tipton, Nickel Plate special agent, was beaten today, receiving a severe wound on the back of the head. He shot Henry Holsey, Negro, 1726 Cornell avenue, in a leg. The Negro was not injured seriously. Holsey was arrested shortly afterward at 1740 Lewis street and, at the same address, Eugene Weaver, 18, Negro, 1801 Alvord street, was taken into custody. Arrests were made by city police sent to the Monon tracks and Twenty-second street at Woodbeck's request. Woodbeck said he took three Negroes, including Holsey, into custody, and that Holsey became unruly. The officer drew a revolver and shot Holsey. The other Negroes attacked Woodbeck, taking his Holsey and Weaver are charged with assault and battery with intent to kill, resisting an officer, petit larceny, trespass and vagrancy. Bond of each is $2,000. John Bridges, 20, Negro, 519 East Eighteenth street, who fled Tuesday after Woodbeck attempted to arrest him. surrendered today. He is charged with vagrancy and petit larceny, revolver, and it is believed the weapon was used in striking Woodbeck. All three fled after Woodbeck was knocked down. Weaver denies attacking Woodbeck, but police said they found the officer’s revolver at the Lewis street address. Weaver was arraigned March 16 before Municipal Judge William H. Sheaffer on a coalsi ra ling charge. Fine of $1 and costs was imposed and suspended. “Railroads lose thousands of dollars annually as a result of coal thefts,” O’Brien said. ‘‘Shippers and consignees are complaining. We pay taxes and we feel that we have a right to protection. “We will break up this stealing if wc have to add a dozen men to the force. Suspended sentences given in coal stealing cases encourage the • crime. “Persons arrested go into court with a plea for sympathy, saying they took coal only for their own use. In many cases, however, the coal is stolen by tons, and is sold, tb" money being used to buy liquor.” Lee Stringer, former city policeman, was slain Oct. 30, 1919, the day he began his duties as a railroad detective, in + he vicinity where Woodbeck was attacked today. Sixteen Negroes were arrested in connection with the case and two, Abe Spalding and Earl McCoy, were convicted and given life terms in prison.

GLASS BANKING BILL'S DEFEAT APPEARS SURE Administration Opposition Seems Likely to Scrap Present Measure. BY LYLE C. WILSON United Pres* Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, March 30.—Administration opposition has hit the Glass bank bill with a tremendous impact that today appeared certain to defeat the measure in its present form. Eugene Meyer, chairman of the federal reserve board, proposed to the senate banking and currency committee general revision of the bill, including the provision for relief of depositors of failed banks. Meyer would scrap the Glass proposal. Instead, he proposed a federal liquidating corporation whose benefits would be restricted to member banks of the federal reserve system. The Glass liquidating corporation for failed banks would obtain funds from forced levies on the reserve banks and member banks. Meyer would draw on the treasury for $100,000,000 and authorize the corporation to sell $200,000,000 of stock in the corporation to the reserve banks. The chairman accompanied this proposal with a recommendation for unified system in banking in the United States, meaning the elemination of state banks operating outside federal supervision. If relief for depositors were withheld from non-member banks, many persons believe state banks not now belonging to the federal reserve system would be compelled to join, thus achieving a unified system under federal supervision. The proposals advanced to the committee by Meyer would have the effect of striking from the bill the restrictive paragraphs relating to bank investments and loans. He approved of the general purpose of the bill, but challenged these restrictive provisions as likely to restrict credit at a time when deflation is not in the public interest.
