SCIENCE FIGHTS TO FREE GENIUS IN GIRL ATTACK Perfect Mate of Want Ad Bride Goes to Lab From Cell Daily. f’nitref Prrss CHICAGO, June 4—Seventeen years ago there appeared in the want ad columns of the Chicago newspapers the following notice: "Wanted—A perfect husband. One who wants the happiness not of a day, but of a liftime; who would receive the fullest pleasure in staying home at night talking to me and would be as wrapped up in me as in his work. Jessie Wood, Glencoe, 111." Today, John E. Mellish, 46, rose from his cell in the Geneva (111.) Jail and proceeded, as he has each morning since his arrest, nine months ago, on a charge of attacking a young girl, to the small laboratory nearby, where he works. Behind those two brief items there was revealed today a strange and human story—such a one as O. Henry wove in Action. Won Jessie Wood For Mellish, a man obscure except to a handful of scientists who study the heaveas with their telescopes by night, is the youth out of 2,000 who wooed and won Jessie Wood. But Mellish was "not just as wrapped up in me as in his work.” Science has been his master and he serves it still in his daily trips from Jail. It was his wife who placed him behind the bars with a complaint on which the grand jury acted. Also she has brought suit for divorce charging cruelty and claiming he forced her to bear eleven children, thereby endangering her health. "Happiness, not of a day, but of a lifetime," has not come. Mrs. Mellish lives with her youngest children In the cottage next to the laboratory In which her husband works, but they have no communication. The older children are in the custody of juvenile authorities. He's a Genius His science alone has taken Interest in the plight of Mellish, who faces twenty years’ imprisonment on conviction of the charge to which he has pleaded not guilty, though Prosecutor George Carbary said the attack on a 15-year-old girl was admitted. Mellish. who had just started his astronomical research at, the time of the "perfect husband" romance, is a genius in a rare art. astronomers say. He discovered four comets and won seven medals for his feats while at Yerkes observatory, then gave up study of the stars to build telescopes and lenses for the country's principal observatories. Fearing the loss of Mellish’s delicate technique would seriously hamper research, astronomers have become aroused over the possibility of his imprisonment. They obtained an attorney for him and permission to work in his laboratory. Court In Quanderv State's Attorney Carbary and Circuit Judge John K. Newhall, under whose jurisdiction Mellish is, declared they were in a quandary over disposition of the case. They said a dozen letters from scientists of seven universities have appealed for mercy. Garbed in rough working clothes and spattered with the rouge of the lens-grinder, Mellish worked unconcerned today in his laboratory, content with any fate that does not take him from his telescopes.

They Squawk to Mute’s Fingers

-npHIS squeaky shoe is driving me crazy. You've got to And it. Here, I’ll show you,” and the sport-costumed woman advanced a trim silken ankle and rocked back and forth on one foot. No squeak rewarded her. "Can you beat it? When you want it to squeak, it won’t.. Can you And it, anyway It's in the sole. I’m sure.” "Yes. miss; I’ll let my cobbler, the deaf man over there, And it,” replied the repair shop manager. He handed the shoes to Carl D. Fischer, 45. of 702 North Bosart avenue, after explaining the ailment in pantomime by bending the pumps. Fischer bent the shoes back and forth. He spoke to the manager and pointed to the pump's heel. "But the shoe didn't squeak," complained the woman," he can't And it.” "Yes, he’s found the squeak. He says it's in the heel. Miss, not in the sole," replied the manager as he assured the woman it would be Axed. B It B THIS byplay is enacted daily at the Roy E. Steele service shop, 15 North Meridian street, as Fischer, a deaf-mute, takes out the squeaks of milady’s shoes. He has taken out thousands of squeaks and never heard a one. He knows the hiding place of the sidewalk siren because of educated Anger-tips that feel the vibration of the squeak when he bends shoes in his hand. And because of his ability he has taught Herbert H. Schakel, the shop's manager, how to feel a squeak instead of depending on his ears to hear its location. "It used to be that we had to turn machinery off in order to permit the shoemakers to listen to squeaks. Then Ave years ago Fischer went to work for us and the machinery wasn’t stilled when we had a Job of squeaky

CHANCES ARE UMPS WON’T BE LICKED

Tunney to Call Balls and Strikes at Baseball Tilt of House. By Vnit fd Perns e WASHINGTON, June 4.-Fully equipped with charley-horses. lame arms and strong-lunged ‘protesters," Democrats and Republicans were ready today to transfer their dispute from the house of representatives to the baseball diamond. Proceeds of the show go to unemployment relief. Two weeks of more or less strenuous training have taken a toll of sore muscles, but both teams have sufficient reserve strength to last nine innings, or so their captains claimed. Stocky Republican Thomas McMillan of South Carolina, captain and catcher for the Democrats, suggested the Republicans would do well to take wheelchairs to Griffith stadium. As for his own squad, he said there wasn't a man on it over 45 and "we will win without a struggle." Didn't Try Harr’ "Four years ago we played these fellows,” he recalled, “and we didn’t try very hard, but succeeded in getting thirty-six runs, while they got four.” Tall and heavy. Representative Vincent Carter of Wyoming, Republican pitcher and captain, was equally confident. "It looks like a landslide for us.” he proclaimed in the best congressional mannner. “If we get to bat first, they will never get us out.” Gene Tunney. former heavyweight boxing champion, will call the balls and strikes and try to preserve order. Each team has named official "protesters" to argue with Tunney over his decisions. They are Representative Schafer of Wisconsin for the Republicans and Representative Park of Arkansas fee the Democrats, and they have about the strongest voices in congress. Shouse Cheer Leader Jouett Shouse, chairman of the Democratic national executive committee, and Robert H. Lucas, executive director of the Republican

Naughty Andy! By United Pre* * NEW ORLEANS, June 4. The New Orleans chapter of the W. C. T. U„ in a letter to President Hoover, has criticised the conduct of Andrew Mellon, ambassador to the court of St. James, because he drinks whisky and soda. Miss Sylvia Metcalf, spokesman for the women, characterized the President himself as a man "supposed to be dry.” in commenting on the action of her organization. "Amelia Earhart, you'll notice, took only water at the recent banquet in London.” she said, "but the Honorable Mr. Mellon had whisky and soda. “And just remember that man was appointed by Mr. Hoover, who is supposed to be a dry.

Lewis Urges Federal Supervision for Industry. By Scrippn-Hotcard Xetcspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, June 4. The senate was turned back to its records of ten years ago, when Senator William S. Kenyon of lowa—now a United States circuit judge—strongly recommended that the federal government regulate the coal industry to serve the best interests of miners, operators, and consumers. Another senate committee Friday began final consideration of the Davis-Kelly bill intended to accomplish the same purposes. Kenyon’s findings were recalled by John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers, in the concluding testimony of the twomonth hearings by a subcommittee consisting of Senators Davis (Rep., Pa.); Hatfield (Rep., W. Va.) and Hayden (Dem., Ariz.). They hope to present a report to the senate soon, but prospects of passage at this session are small. Lewis argued in five hours of eloquent, dramatic testimony that federal regulation is the only medi- ; cine for the ailing mine industry.

By United Prrts NEW YORK, June 4 —Operation on the principle of purchasing bonds for proAt without being a rescue party” to business was the a flounced policy today of the newly formed $100,000,000 corporation of twenty leading banking institutions of New York. This frank policy in disclaiming any intention of acting as a "price stabilizer," but standing ready to supply bids for high graie bonds, was considered by Wall Street observers as setting up a bulwark which would prevent wiae breaks in the market, ordinarily caused by the offering of a few Issues. Bidding by these bankers, observers calculated, would bring & large number of outsiders into the market, and consequently bonds would win over a great many new friends.

Times-Legion Baseball School Is in Full Swing

Second Instruction Course to Be Given at Perry Stadium June 11. A big group of boys from all over the city turned out at Perry stadium when the first Indianapolis TimcsAmerican Legion free baseball school, under direction of Manager Emmet McCann and his Indian teammates, was held. The second Times-Legion class will be held Saturday morning, June 11. McCann, Archie Campbell, pitcher; Johnny Riddle, catcher; Frank Sigafoos, second baseman; John Bedore, third baseman; and Harry Rosenberg and Pid Purdy, outfielders, got a real workout tutoring the groups who desired to gain inside information about certain positions. Purdy gave pointers on how to go back after a fly ball, looking over the shoulder instead of attempting to run backwards, as boys are wont to do. After Purdy’s instructions, he batted a few fly balls and the boys discovered they could do it, too. Johnny Riddle had a big class of boys who aspire to be catchers. He gave detailed instruction on footwork required of a catcher, throwing to the bases, and on giving signals to the pitcher and to teammates. Johnny got a kick out of teaching little Notra Trulock, 8, of 2038 Koehne street, who has his own uniform and glove, and after his instruction, Notra knew a lot more about catching than some boys twice his size and age. Any boy in the city, county, or state is invited by owner Norman A. Perry of the Indians to take part
