Neighbor to the Rescue If City Tries to Fight Sheaffer Ban. Business neighbors of Jack Klein, 332 North Capitol avenue, today offered him financial aid if the city appeals from a decision of Municipal Judge William H.

Klein, whose car was seized March 13, while parked on North Pennsylvania street, provided bond and effected its return, and took the case to court.

Deery, city attorney, asked about the refund, said: “I don’t know of any way it can be done.” However, S. C. Bodner, who was counsel for Klein, declares there is

CURB SCARLET FEVER New Injection Builds Up Resistance of Child to Disease. By Science Service WASHINGTON, April 2.—New weapons with which to conquer scarlet fever, one of childhood’s most serious diseases, have been forged by the scientific research division of the United States health service here. Chief of the new weapons is a scarlet fever streptococcus toxoid, a product which may be injected into a child’s body to build up his resistance to the disease. This toxoid has been given to about one thousand children and has given them much greater protection against the disease than *ny method heretofore used. Toxoid is the poison of the scarlet fever germ to which has been added the chemical formalin, and which then has been incubated for several months, during which time it loses its poisonous property, but retains ability to give protection against the disease.

no legal barrier to recovery of fees, but asserted: ‘‘l would not consent to be a party to any such action. It would be unconscionable. Expense was incurred in equipping tow-in trucks and men employed to operate them. It would be unfair to press for refunds.” Dubious on Course City officials have not yet decided on what course they will pursue in regard to an appeal. The matter will be settled at a conference early next week to be attended by Deery, safety board members and other officials. Klein said tbday he fought the ordinance not only from a personal standpoint, but because he believed it worked a hardship on many persons hard pressed for money. He expressed belief that many seized cars, still held in the Plaza garage, have not been removed because the owners are without money to pay tow-in and storage fees. He declined offers of aid when his car was seized, but said today he may accept help if the case is appealed.

Police Claim Bank Decoy Really a Man With Bass Voice. By United Press CHICAGO, April 2. Edward Bennett is a whiskery gentleman wtih a deep bass voice. Nevertheless, police said today that his pseudo-simpering in skirts led to many a hitherto unexplained bank robbery in the midwest. Officers called him the “Julian Eltinge of the underworld,” a “female impersonator de luxe.” They had him and three accomplices in cells and sought a mysterious woman known only as “Jean.” * , |Jean,” they said, was the “brains” of the gang, suspected of robbing more than a score of banks in Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin. Bankers from the three states came to Chicago in an attempt to identify “Mrs. Bennett” and his cohorts. Bennett confessed, police continued, that he shaved off his whiskers, daubed his cheeks with powder and rouge, put on a wig and a pert spring hat, donned skirts and a silken blouse and sat in the front seat of a large sedan. At the wheel was the mysterioue “Jean.” Hidden in the tonneau, police added, were Michael Yaro, Edward Halligren and sometimes Edward (Bones) Kuzma. “Jean” parked the car in front of the bank she had previously chosen, the police said. “Mrs. Bennett” would primp his wig and smirk coyly at any passersby, and then when the coast was clear the hidden robbers would pop out of the sedan and into the bank. Arthur Bennett, chief deputy sheriff of Du Page county, Illinois, and no relation to the female impersonator, was responsible for the tip that led to the arrests. Said Deputy Bennett of Impersonator Bennett: “He is a real tough egg, willing to do anything for money; even dfess up as a woman.” DUMMY MODEL TO WED Hollywood Theater Employe Picks Telephone Girl for Bride.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

HOOSIERS VOTE AGAINST POOR ON SALES TAX Crowe, Griswold and Hogg Only Congressmen With Progressive Records. BY WALKER STONE Time* Staff Writer WASHINGTON, April 2.—lndiana’s representatives in congress will have some difficulty explaining to their constituents the votes which they recorded preceding passage of the billion-dollar tax bill in the house Friday night. Not a single Hoosier congressman came through with a consistent record as a progressive. Credit for consistency, however, must be given to Representative Will R. Wood and Representative Fred Pi’unell. They never wavered throughout the tax fight, but went down the line, vote by vote, as reactionary tory Republicans. The best record for progressiveism vas made by Representative Eugene B. Crowe and Glenn Griswold, Democrats, and David Hogg, Republican. Their records were broken when they voted to retain the coal and oil import tax in the revenue bill. Majority Stay With Machine Every member of the Indiana delegation voted for the coal and oil import tax, which admittedly will bring in little or no revenue, and which in reality is merely a high tariff or embargo on these commodities, and will cause consumer to pay more for coal, oil and gasoline. Only three Indianians—Crowe, Griswold and Hogg—voted to keep in the bill the wartime taxes on high incomes. All the others joind in the successful drive engineered by the Republican and Democratic machine bosses to take the high surtaxes out of the bill. More than any other feature of the revenue measure, the higher taxes in the upper income brackets, proprosed by the progressive Representative Phil Swing of California, would have placed on the shoulders of the rich the burden of balancing the budget. Wood and Purnell were the only Hoosiers voting to reinstate the sales tax in the bill. The other ten Indianians voted with the majority. Vote Against Poor Thus Wood and Purnell voted with the rich and against the poor on both the sales tax and the income surtaxes; and Crowe, Griswold and Hogg voted with the poor and against the rich on both the sales tax and the income surtaxes. But the others—Boehne, Canfield, Gillen, Greenwood, Larrabee, Ludlow and Pettengill—voted with the poor against the sales tax and with the rich against the income surtaxes. Canfield’s vote against the sales tax was particularly baffling. He is a member of the ways and means committee, and last week, when the bill was being considered in the committee of the whole, Canfield voted for the sales tax. By reversing his stand Friday Canfield undoubtedly took away from Representative Crowe some of the campaign thunder Crowe had intended to use when the two meet in the battle for the Democratic nomination in the new Ninth district.

By United Press LAFAYETTE, Ind., April 2.—The European corn borer spread strongly to the south and west in Indiana during 1931, it was revealed in a repprt announced today by G. A. Ficht of Purdue university. Likewise, Ficht reported, the intensity of corn borers in infested areas increased. Sixty townships that previously had not been infested were invaded by borers last year. These townships were located in counties that previously were not known to contain the pests. The infested area now reaches westward across the state to Eagle Creejc township in Lake county and southward to Posey township on the Kentucky line in Harrison county. Between a third and a half of Indiana now definitely is known to contain borers, Ficht said. The spread, however, was not as great as has occurred in some other seasons, he said, probably as the result of the setback of the borer, due to the 1930 drought.

RICH PHYSICIAN IS SAVED FROM GANG Rescued by Secret Six of Chicago Without Ransom Being Paid; Two Held. By United Press PEORIA, 111., April 2.—The Chicago Secret Six, unique organization of business men crime fighters today scored another victory with the return to his home unharmed, and without payment of ransom, of Dr. James H. Parker, 65, wealthy physician kidnaped March 14. Coincident with the safe return of the physician, two well-known Peoria men were taken into custoday on orders of Alexander Jamie, Secret Six director, who, with several detectives, has been working secretly on the case since the disappearance of Dr. Parker. The men were Joseph H. Pursifull, attorney, and J. W. Betson, contractor, and onetime mayoralty candidate. Although several demands for ransom were made to Parker’s wife during the abduction, Police Chief Thomas McCann said the kidnaping was not for ransom. Parker, who is president of the Tax Securities Corporation of Chicago, was kidnaped by enemies for an unrevealed purpose, McCann said. “The men who seized me,” Parker said, “treated me well at all times. I was given decent food and my health did not suffer.” Jamie revealed the two men were taken into custody Wednesday after, he charged, they had attempted to act the role of go-betweens in the abduction. Both of the men have been prominent in local reform activities. Release of the physician came after the local police were believed to have dropped all activity in the case at the request of Parker’s wife. The physician was abducted on the night of March 14 shortly after he left his home to drive to his club. Jamie refused to reveal the exact nature of the secret six investigation of the case.
