LAW COLLAPSE BLAMED ON 0. S. MONEY WORSHIP British Press Points to Lindy Kidnaping as Disgrace. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Srripps Hnrd Forticn f.dltor WASHINGTON. June 4—Are Americans people? If so, what is the matter with them? Taking the Lindbergh baby kidnaping and murder for its text, the Manchester Guardian. British liberal newspaper, ordinarily very friendly to the United States, attempts to answer these questions. Like it or not. here is how others see us—our friends at that. Says the Guardian: “It is dangerously easy to deduce the general from the particular, and to fasten on to the tragedy of the Lindbergh baby a moral that is beyond its scope. But, like an inverted Dreyfus case, it has without ouestion served dramatically to illustrate the defects of American

civilization. Law Breakdown Shown ■ They have not, it is true, been wanting other illustrations as forcible, and sometimes on a larger ,rale. At the same time, it remains irue that seldom, even in America, has the breakdown of law and order in lace of organized crime oeen made so obvious as in the course of vents since Colonel Lindbergh's baby first was kidnaped till, weeks later, its dead body was found by chance n a r to his house. The po) :e have been active and he newsp pers lavish with space; large sums ol money have been paid over by Colonel Lindbergh to perons purporting to come direct from the kidnapers, and of this money notes have been found in circulation. The most fantastic rumors have been put about, denied, and then put about {gam. Yet all he while this has been going on it looks as though the dead body ol Colonel Lindbergh’s baby lay a short distance from his house, where those who stole it had hurriedly deposited it after having murdered it. Capone Offered Aid "A1 Capone, from the prison where he is serving a sentence for falsifying his income tax returns, sent out offers of assistance, and even President Hoover interested himself personally in the affair. But not only have the police failed completely to discover the actual criminals, they have failed even to arrest those unscrupulous persons who, as is now believed, successfully extorted money from Colonel Lindbergh without knowing anything of the whereabouts or the fate of his baby. •’Various attempts hare been made to explain how such things can be in a country that, in a material sense, is amongst the most civilized in the world. “It is prohibition. It is the mixture of races. It is corruption. It is the lawlessness of old pioneering days persisting still. It is the lack of tradition and the restlessness and instability of a people that is not a people. Wealth Is Blamed "Any or all of these may be, and probably are, contributory causes but the present breakdown of law and order in America is mainly a consequence of the worship of prosperity. "Wealth is a disastrous social value, because so much that is bad can be justified by it. "When wealth is the only social value, then social institutions collapse and gangsters no less than millionaires become national heroes. “It may be that now, in the autumn of her great prosperity. America will rediscover other values and rebuild those institutions the significance of whose decay has hitherto. except by the few, escaped notice."

STATE DENIED RIGHT TO DESTROY CROPS Appellate Court Upholds Decision in Corn Borer Fight Case. State entomologists have no authority to destroy farm crops in order to stop spread of the corn borer, the appellate court held Friday. The ruling was in a case brought ny Owen Feehan. Allen county farmer. seeking $3,000 against Frank N. Wallace, state entomologist, for alleged destruction of sixty acres of oats last year on Feehan’s farm. An Allen county jury awarded Feehan the damages against Wallace and Paul T. Aultman. assistant state entomologist, in charge of the borer drive. The case was appealed, and the verdict sustained. In the ruling the high court held that no commission created by the state can transcend constitutional rights of citizens.

“'T'HIS squeaky shoe Is driving me crazy. You've got to find 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 speak rewarded her. “Can you beat It? When you want It to squeak. It won t.. Can you find It. anyway It's in the sole. I'm sure.” "Yes, miss; I'll let my cobbler, the deaf man over there, find 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 hee’. "But the shoe didn't squeak.” complained the woman," he can't find it." "Yes. he’s found the squeak. He says it's in the heel. Miss, not in the s§le,” replied the manager as he assured the woman it would be fixed. m n m 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 finger-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 five years ago Fischer went to work for us and the machinery wasn’t stilled when we had a job of squeaky

The major portion of Fischer's “squeak” mechanics is confined to the shoes of women. Squeaks are caused by poorly made shoes for

Schakel says. “Then, too.” the shoe repairers add, “women are more conscious of squeaky shoes than men and more particular about having them remedied." u m m A LUBRICATING powder inserted at the apex of the squeak or the use of stitches are popular methods used by Fischer in removing the offending noise.

SEEKS $50,000 IN DAMAGE SUIT Jewel Merchant Charges Malicious Prosecution. For eleven years David Klor, 18, of 2946 Park avenue, trudged Die streets selling jewelry and enjoyed a lively trade until one of his diamonds failed to shine. Suing for $50,000 judgment in circuit court, he has based his claim on the tiny stone that has no color. Klor seeks this amount from Mrs. Gertrude Riskin, 635 Union street, and Wolf Sussman, a merchant, who he alleges had him arrested because the diamond failed to have sufficient brilliancy. A circuit court jury Friday heard the story of the stone. Klor was arrested, tried in criminal court and found not guilty of transferring the dark, poorly cut diamond for a costlier one. He testified this arrest ruined his business and injured his reputation. He demanded judgment for malicious prosecution. Mrs. Riskin alleged In criminal court a year ago that she gave Klor a man’s diamond ring to have the stone transferred into a lady's white gold mounting. She charged that he substituted an inferior diamond, but criminal court failed to uphold her allegations. All trades and professions were represented at the circuit court trial—a truck driver, a dry goods merchant, a fire insurance agent, a hardware salesman, a railroad clerk, a painter and woodworker—being among witnesses.

SENATORS HEAR PLEA FOR COAL REGULATION John L. Lewis Urges Federal Supervision for Industry. By Scripps-Hoicard Xcwspapcr Alliance WASHINGTON, June 4. —The senate was turned back to its records of ten yenrs 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 medicine for the ailing mine industry.

COPPER POOL TO BE AIRED IN STOCKS INQUIRY John D. Ryan to Testify Today Before Wall Street Probers of Senate. Pv United Pres WASHINGTON, June 4.—With John D. Ryan, chairman of the Anaconda Copper Company as a witness, senate stock market investigator hoped today to develop a complete picture of how Wall Street’s leading figures manipulate a stock into public favor. Ryan was called by William A. Gray, banking committee counsel, as a closing witness in the inquiry into the operations of a multimilliondollar Anaconda stock pool in 1929. Ryan’s name has run like a thread through numerous hearings regarding pool operations in the stock of the nation's leading copper producer. The pool operated early in the year that saw the beginning of the great stock market collapse. It closed with a loss on Its books, but under Its tutelage the stock had shown a substantial gain. Bank Didn't Deal in Stork Ryan’s name figured prominently Friday in the testimony of Charles E. Mitchell, chairman of the National City bank of New York. The bank itself did not deal in the copper stock. Mitchell explained, but its affiliate, the National City Company, conducted a selling campaign in the stock at about the time the pool was active. He said that between early spring and the collapse of the market, the company bought $167,526,904 worth of Anaconda stock and sold $163,020,509 worth to its clients. The famous banker's testimony was made more interesting by the fact that two equally famous members of the bank’s board of directors, Percy Rockefeller and James A. Stillman, had been participants in the pool. Seemed Well Worth Price Mitchell was firm in his conviction that Rockefeller and Stillman probably did not know of the National City Company’s activities in Anaconda. “Do you think it was proper to be in a pool of that sort and on the board of directors of a bank that was interested?" asked Senator Carter Glass (Dem.. Va.), banking expert, and unrelenting foe of stock market speculation. “I don’t like to pass on the question of the other fellow’s conduct.” the banker answered. “I can’t reproach him, though I might sometime reproach myself.” Pounding the committee table. Mitchell declared Anaconda In the boom days seemed well worth $125 a share because copper was selling for 14 cents a pound. Anaconda stock is now selling for $4. Raskob’s Story Is Told The banker said he believed those who lost money in stocks were in no worse position that those who lost money on farm lands. The situation was the same, he said, with land declining in value as wheat prices went down, and stocks declining as the products of the corporations became less valuable. John J. Raskob. frequently mentioned in the hearings, testified in detail regarding his transactions in the stock of General Motors. He is a director of the automobile corporation. Raskob strongly denied that he had sold the stock short. Interest in Raskob's appearance centered about the fact that he is chairman of the Democratic national committee. He frankly was perturbed about the bearing the testimony might have on his political position. JUNE CANNON OUT SOON Arsenal Magazine Will Appear for Distribution Monday.

A big group of boys from all over the city turned out at Perry stadium when the first Indianapolis TimesAmerican 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.

LONG. SENATE'S CLOWN. TARIFF BATTLE VICTOR ‘Kingfish’ Gains Name of Being Formidable , Fighter. Ay Brripp*-H owned Xrwtpnper Altianco WASHINGTON. June 4—Whatever else the senate may think of Huey Long, it now is convinced that the red-haired Louisianian is a formidable fighter. In the tariff fight, the "Kingfish" made several new enemies, underwent numerous scathing attacks by fellow Democrats, emerged

apparently uni touched and unperturbed, and won what he started out to get. wh“h was a tariff on oil. Long’s antics dominated the , tariff battle, his speeches consumed a large portion of the time devoted to debate on the ropper. oil, lumber and coal im-

port duties, and he demonstrated he is willing to consort with either side of the aisle—Republicans or Democrats—to get what he wants. Senate Floor General The "Kingfish" of Louisiana Democracy became in fact the floor general of the senate. And following him. as Senator Tydings • Dcm., Md.) pointed out, were “Privates" Smoot and Watson. The former. 29 years in the senate, is chairman of the finance committee; the latter is the majority leader. Relegated, as are all new senators. to back seats in that august chamber, Long seldom occupied his own chair. Listening, or talking, he would sit a while in Borah’s seat. Then he would occupy Norris' chair. Any seat on the Democratic side was his, with one expection. He never sat in the place of Joe Robinson, the Democratic leader. Dared Courtesy Rule During bitter personal attacks made upon him, the "Kingfish" sat smiling. Neither curbed him. He used the tactics of reading old records of tariff votes of those who opposed his tariff. No sharpshooter like Pat Harrison of Mississippi, who has used the same avenue of attack without arousing enmity. Long drew down the thunderous criticism of dignified George of Georgia. He has made himself the senate clown, but undoubtedly a shrewd playboy, who uses circus methods to accomplish his ends. And the senate is trying to resign Itself to the five remaining years of Long's term.
