DRY CHIEFTAIN SUSPENDS TWO AGENT KILLERS Woodcock Believes Them Guilty of Misconduct, Rather Than Murder. By United Pre* WASHINGTON, April 18.—Amos W. W. Woodcock, prohibition director, today suspended N. D. Heaton and L. C. Smith, prohibition agents, pending trial as an outgrowth of the shooting of Marion McGlothlin, some ninteen miles from Dallas, Tex. Woodcock said: “While I do not think that the agents are guilty of crime in a legal sense, I do think that they did not measure up to the standard we have required in the bureau of prohibition. Their conduct was a marked contrast, for instance, to that of Agent Gershon in South Carolina, last week, who with two prisoners in his custody, and in the dead of night, stopped a car containing three armed men and arrested them also, without a shot. Tells of Arrangements In relating the events which led tip to the death of McGlothlin, Woodcock said that on the night of April 8, 1932, Prohibition Agents Heaton and Smith, and an informer, had an arrangement to meet Lester Ccx at a filling station and store of Marion McGlothlin, nineteen miles from Dallas, Tex. When Cox arrived, according to Woodcock, he was accompanied by his wife. Cox went into the filling station and agents followed him there, intending to serve the warrant on him there. Woodcock said. “When the agents informed her husband of their identity and their purpose. Mrs. Cox resisted and is said to have produced a pistol. “About the time of the resistance of Mrs. Cox, Mrs. McGlothlin cried out that Mrs. Cox could not be arrested. She was quieted by Agent Heaton, who told her who he was. Bhe produced a pistol, however, and aimed it at Heaton. Shot From Hand “He told her to drop the pistol, but upon her failing to do so, shot it from her hand. Mrs. McGlothlin's pistol and the agent’s pistol apparently were fired simultaneously. Mrs. McGlothlin sustained a wound in her hand. “Almost at the same time, McGlothlin produced a double-barreled shotgun and fired one shot at Agent Smith, who escaped by falling to the floor. Smith fired with his automatic pistol at McGlothlin and killed Mm.” The case presents two distinct problems, Woodcock said. First, whether the agents are guilty of a crime; second, their conduct as federal agents. The first matter is one primarily for the courts, Woodcock stated, and said that in his judgment, however, thev are not guilty of any crime. "What they did, they did clearly In self-defense," the director said. "Any one has a right to defend his life.”

Hoosiers Climb Sisters of Skillet Once With Charlie Davis Band Here.

A CHANCE acquaintance and bright idea, with an Indianapolis background, proved to be the success formulae that has sky-rocketed two jovial Hoosiers to national radio fame. In a “gag” act that amuses thousands weekly over the ether, Eddie East and Ralph Dumke, better known as “Sisters of the Skillet” are just being natural. Back in 1925 at the Colonial theater as members of Charlie Davis’ band, Eddie and Ralph met for the first time and began their march to fortune. Local audiences, however, heard none of the wisecracks that have made the pair famous, because both were banjo players “waiting for a break.’’ Ralph, a South Bend native, and Dumke of Bloomington, plunked away at their banjos for several months at the Colonial. n tt n 4 *tjUT it wasn’t long before we O decided we’d strike out for ourselves in the show' business,” they decided. Their first stepping stone was ■“song and patter” act over station WON, followed by a fling at vaudeville. Then the bright idea struck. “Why not work up a ‘gag’ act and burlesque the household hinters?” Ralph proposed. And now— East and Dumke are inseparable companions. They weigh : more than 500 pounds together. “And we don’t intend to diet, either,” they say. 25,000 Pieces of China W.

IROOPS FIRE ON MINE STRIKERS; IHREEWOUNDED Work Is Resumed in Ohio Shaft After Soldiers Disperse 'Raiders.’ By United Prest CADIZ, 0., April 18.—Cutting machines sent echoing rattles through corridors of the Somers mine of ithe Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company near here today, a few hours after state troops shot down three strikers who marched

on the shaft in an effort to prevent resumption of operations there. Work was resumed at the mine with 200 workers who refused to join the strike. The disorder came after officers of the United Mine Workers of America had issued strict orders against violence by protesting miners. The strikers, defying orders of union officials, bore down on barricades thrown up by the soldiers. Rifles cracked when they ignored a shout from Captain F. G. Ruffner, Company L. Akron, warning them to “halt.” The wounded strikers w r ere Elmer Trionfio, 20, Pinefort, shot in the leg; Louis Porter, 32, Bellaire, shot in the leg, and Frank Spataford, 52, Dillonville, shot in the arm. The troops erected a placard above their breastworks in a road leading to the Somers mine, reading: “The road is under rifle and machine gun fire.” The invaders, a rough-clad column, ripped the sign down andstamped on it. They advanced. Several rounds were fired before the advance halted and the strikers fled in disorder. A national guard airplane was ordered over the troubled area to report any assemblies of miners. Soldiers sprawled about resting, and

paced patrol lines, at the Somers mine. “Fire low” was the order which went along the line, when it became apparent only force would halt the invaders. Miners throughout Ohio’s bituminous fields are under strike orders and shafts in West Virginia’s pan handle area are affected. Peace obtained in other sections. About 15,000 men are idle through the strike. Larger mines are closed. Archduke Otto Under Knife VIENNA, April 18.
