VOTE NEAR ON WRIGHT DRY LAW REPEAL House Action Is Expected on Bill Not Later Than Monday. BLOW AT EDUCATION Senate Measure Imperils Standards Set for State Schools. Possibility of vote on Wright bone dry law repeal by the house of representatives not’ later than Monday, a 1 unanimous senate passage of a bi" which cast aside all state educational standards, were highlights Os the legislature’s session today. The Wright law attack gained tnonvntum when the Weiss repeal **nd enforcement substitute bill was fforwarded to final reading for passage. Attempts of Representative Jafcob Weiss (Dem.), Indianapolis, author of the repealer, to suspend constitutional provisions and pass the bill, failed. Before advancement sos the measure, the house adopted Several amendments. Agrres With Federal Law One far-reaching amendment fchanges definition of spirituous liquor in the r.ate law to correspond (wi'h that in the federal statutes, so 3i e ngress ever increases the legal alcoholic content or votes to manufacture beer, the state law automatically will agree. Cne of the rejected amendments V'ould have raised the prosecutor s fee for each conviction from $5 to sls. The Wright law sets this fee at $25 and although it now goes Into the state general fund, it is charged the high fee has' encouraged prosecutors to obtain convictions, no matter how flimsy the evidence. To provide for more state revenue, another amendment provided liquor wholesalers and retailers obtain licenses from the state auditor. License Fees Set Annual license fee for a wholesaler is set at SSOO and retailer, $25. To have immediate repeal, an “emergency section was adopted w h provides that the repealer a substitute bill goes into effect the day it is signed by the Goveri or. An illiterate teacher presiding over classes in a school house made from a piano box will be a firstclass rural educational institution, If local school authorities so decide under provisions of the educational measure. This abolition of all educational Standards went through the upper bouse without dissenting vote under the guise of a tax-saving measure. Forty-four ages porsed the measure. The bill wipes out all jurisdiction of state boards over local schools. This means educational standards laid down by the state board of educa f ion. sanitary rules of the state Uv-nlth board and fire hazard requirements of the state fire marshal's office, could be ignored. No Defense Given Not a senator arose to defend upholding school standards. According to officials in the department of public instruction, any one could teach school if the bill becomes law, provided school jtrustees were satisfied. The school term could be reduced *t will and nay shelter could constitute an adequate school building. Department of public instruction Officials pointed out that even if the state standards are abolished, Indiana schools either will have to rstablish high local standards or not be recognized for college preparatory. Sales Tax in Disguise Senator J. Clyde Hoffman ißep.i, Indianapolis, appeared in the senate today cast in the role of a successful magician. That is, successful. so far. Through his legerdemain the chain store tax will be transformed into a sales tax which will put onefrialf of 1 per cent levy on all gross retail sales. The measure was introduced innocently enough as an “amendment to the ch&in store act.” Later it was discovered that it was the old retail sales tax in false whiskers, which, according to many economists, completely ignores one of the fundamental principles of taxation— ability to pay. Under a sales tax the poor and those of modest means will bear the greater burden, since their mass purchases of necessities are far in excess of the rich, these economists Bay.

NATIONAL GUARD RUSHED TO STATE MINE; THREAT OF TROUBLE INCREASES

Robs Bank in ‘Style’ With His Liveried Chauffeur

By Times Special METAMORA, Ind., July 22. A bandit whose automobile was driven by a liveried chauffeur robbed the Farmers bank here of $1,200 this morning. Entering the bank while it was occupied only by George Lennard, cashier, the bandit, who wore a blue suit and a panama hat, presented the card of an Indianapolis law firm, Lennard said, and stated he wished to obtain a loan. "How much do you want?" Lennard inquired. “I am not at liberty to say,” the bandit replied. "But wait. Here are the papers.” The caller reached into a

Not so Ro-osy By I nited Press BROOKLYN, Corn., July 22. —“Franklin Delano Roosevelt is a distant cousin of my husband,” said Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt, widow of the late President, today. “I am going to vote for President Hoover.” Mrs. Roosevelt expressed weariness after reading a deluge of letters and telegrams congratulating her on the nomination of her “husband” at the Democratic national convention. Judging from her mail, thousands of Americans believe the Democratic nominee is the same Roosevelt who was President from 1901 to 1909.

CHILD SLAVE, CHAINED BY MOTHER, FREED IN COURT

BY PAUL COMLY FRENCH United Presi Staff Correspondent CAMDEN, N. J., July 22.—New friends in Camden’s detention home brought happiness today to Lena Persiana, 12-year~old slave, whose mother chained her “like a dog” while she made lamp shades for her parents to sell and who refused to kiss her daughter after her cruelty was condemned in court. The undernourished girl’s big brown eyes were afire as she told how she had been chained by the legs* many times during a two-year period which ended Thursday when her story finally was told in court. She recalled vividly the day her mother first chained her when a little more than 10 years old. “Mother said I was running around with boys,” she said, “and then she put the chain on my

pocket. A revolver instead of papers appeared in his hand. As Lennard was marched to the vault, the chauffeur entered from the automobile, parked directly in front of the bank. Most of the loot was obtained from the vault. The remainder was picked up from tills. Tying Lennard’s hands with wire and rope, the robbers locked him in a customer’s room. He freed himself within a few minutes and broke glass from a door. Lennard said the men were about 30, and that the chauffeur wore a whipcord uniform. Bandits who held up Lennard in the bank in May, 1930, obtained S7OO.

Murder Suspected, Despite Suicide Evidence: Probe Farm Girls’ Deaths. j By United Press LAKE CITY, Minn., July 22. ; A pistol in her hand, Agnes Stevens, i 24, Boston, University of Minnesota i student, was found shot to death I today in her parked automobile. | The scene was twelve miles from j Ryan’s bay in the Zumbro river, j whence the bodies of two farm girls ; were removed Thursday after their j mysterious deaths. Authorities were inclined to reject the theory that the two tragedies were related, but took notice of the circumstances that all three deaths occurred after automobile rides. Search has been futile so far for the two youths who took Louise Prigge, 22, and Frances Polikowski, 21, schoolgirl chums, for a “joy ride” just prior to their deaths | from causes which are unestablished except that neither was drowned. Authorities believed the farm girls were murdered, but were puzzled by Miss Stevens’ death, despite the indication of suicide. - Miss Stevens, who lived at Sanford Hall at the university, and drove her own automobile, was found seated at the wheel, a bullet wound near the right ear. In her right hand was a .38-caliber revolver. Her left hand was on the wheel of the car which was fifty miles from the campus. A small diamond ring was on the engagement finger of Miss Stevens’ left hand. The body was found by fishermen. A bag of golf clubs was found in the automobile, as were several music books. At the University of 1 Minnesota, it was learned Miss Stevens was a student of music. Her automobile was parked on a side road about 300 feet off trunk (Turn to Page 16) LINDYS WILL GO HOME Return to Hopewell Planned After Birth of Second Child. By United Press ENGLEWOOD, N.

Walsh, secretary of the Camden Society for prevention of Cruelty to Children. Mrs. Walsh, who learned of the case from neighbors, said the child came to her Wednesday, after she had broken the lock on her chain. When Persiana came before Judge Garfield Pancoast, he refused to say whether he or his wife was responsible for the chains. "We had to do something." he insisted. "Because the cruelty society wouldn’t let us beat her any more. She keep running away.” “Sure. I ran away,” rejoined Lena. “Just as fast as I was able to break the lock after I was chained.” So Judge Pancoast committed her to the house of detention while he sought a home for her.

Apparent Truce ShortLived; Nonunion Workers Under Siege. BY STEVE RICHARDS United Press Staff Correspondent DUGGER, Ind., July 22.—A1l three companies of national guardsmen quartered in Shakamak state park, near here, were called into the Hoosier mine area today, instead of only one detachment, as at first planned, to protect marooned nonunion miners, entombed for forty hours. Adjutant-General Paul Tombaugh took command of the battalion and brought the entire available force into action, when picketing union miners assumed a more threatening attitude than had been anticipated. Guardsmen left the park shortly after 10 a. m., and it was expected that the remaining twenty-seven men, imprisoned in the mine since Wednesday, would depart immediately. Remain on Guard Virtually all the beleaguered miners were on guard at the pit entrance, with their two machine guns and smaller arms ready for immediate action, pending arrival of the troops. Tension increased during the morning, when the anticipated early departure was delayed, but there were few union men in evidence. A majority of the pickets dispersed shortly after midnight, when a truce was declared. Reads surrounding the mine area was clogged for two days with the ! union picketers, protesting operat- , ing of the mine on a co-operative i basis. These roads were deserted today. Ready to Return It was learned, however, that the pickets had not disbanded, but only had moved back a few miles from the mine. Toward Hymera, and in other Sections, the picketers congregated and were ready to converge once more upon the Hoosier mine at a moment’s notice'. Tombaugh said the troops would be kept at the mine until the situation appeared to be quiet fully. There was talk among the picketers today of surrounding the Dixie Bee mine at Pimento, also operated on a nonunion basis. It has been the scene of several recent disorders. scoldY veteran who PATRONIZED LEGGER Cameron Says Federal Compensation Not Meant for Rum. World war veterans who keep the “bootlegger’s” wolf from the door with their compensation money from the government face a severe scolding and possible state farm sentences in the municipal court of Judge Clifton R. Cameron. Michael Rodgers of 529 East New i York street, was fined $lO and costs and placed on one year's probation by Cameron fer supporting a “bootlegger” on his sl2-a-month compensation. “The government doesn’t have to support the bootlegger or the drunkard. I'm tired of this. If you're brought in again you’re going to the state farm,” scolded the judge. INTRODUCES BILITo GUARANTEE DEPOSITS Evansville Legislator Moves to Aid of Bank Patrons. Public demand for enactment of laws guaranteeing deposits in banks and trust companies found a champion today in the house of representatives in Representative William McClain (Dem.), Evansville. In a bill introduced, McClain would require financial institutions to post a surety bond with the state banking commissioner insuring depositors’ funds. The measure stipulates that the bond shall be not less than half of total deposits, and would guarantee immediate payment to depositors of at least part of funds on closing of banks and trust companies because of insolvency or involuntary liquidation. STUTZ ORDERS PICK UP Man Power in Factory Increased 40 Per Cent in Two Weeks. Six times as many unfilled orders were on the > books of the Stutz Motor Car Company at the middle of this month as were listed by the company for the entire month of June. According to Colonel E. S. Gorrell, president, the unfilled orders for one-half of July were greater than the entire shipments for June. The man power in the factory has been increased 40 per cent in the last two weeks, with the pay roll three times what it was two w'eeks ago.

COURT RULING TRIUMPH FOR WATER USERS Slash in Rates Upheld by Federal Judges in Utility Case. ORDER PROPERTY AUDIT Six Per Cent Is Declared Fair Return on Investment. Most significant victory for utility patrons in the history of public I service commission control in In- ; diana was recorded late Thursday ; in federal court, when three judges denied the Indianapolis Water Company's suit to block enforcement of reduced water rates. Os particular significance in the ruling was the fact that the threejudge court held that 6 per cent is a fair return on the company’s valuation, said to be the first time a federal court ever has upheld a return so low for a utility. The hearing was presided over by Judge Evan A. Evans, Chicago, circuit court of appeals; Judge Robert C. Baltzell, southern Indiana district, and Thomas W. Slick, northern Indiana district. Their ruling will retain in effect Commissioner Hjyry K. Cuthbertson’s order reducing the minimum monthly rate to SI.OB from $1.50 and the $#5,000 reduction in hydrant rental granted the city. Audit to Follow The reduced rates were ordered in effect until completion of an audit and appraisal of the water company’s property, which will be followed by anew rate hearing before the commission. Evans advised the appraisal be completed in time to permit setting of a final rate schedule before Jan. 1, 1933. He also advised water company officials that if future receipts do not conform to estimates on which the ruling was based, the company might appeal again to the court without prejudice. In announcing the decision, Evans pointed out three determinate issues in the case: What is a fair value of property used in supplying water to Indianapolis? What would be a fair rate of return on the investment? Will the present rates produce this fair return? Reaches Valuation Figure The court declared it impossible to determine exactly a fair valuation, but added that on the "showing made here, we believe it to be $21,250,000.” This figure, he said, was arrived at by taking the $19,000,000 valuation set by the supreme court as of Jan. 1, 1925, adding depreciation costs, lower reproduction costs and including net additions to the property. "There is a difference between a fair rate of return and a confiscatory rate, and w s feel that a 6 per cent return is not confiscatory,” Evans said. “Water companies, because of the nature of their product, and the fact that water is a necessity, do not suffer fluctuation in revenues as often is possible in the case of other utilities.” Credit to Cuthbertson Credit for the victory of utility patrons belongs to Cuthbertson, who fought the entire matter almost single-handed. Through the water rate decision, the way is paved for immediate re- ; duction of other high utility rates. The court upheld the emergency rate reduction plan and a 6 per cent return under present conditions. It also accepted something besides company figures as evidence of valuation, the company having j fought for a $26,000,000 valuation 1 and a higher rate of return. Emergency rate reduction was upheld in principle in the Vincennes Water Company case, but the 20 per cent cut was held confiscatory. Nicaragua Uprising Reported WASHINGTON, July 22.—The i navy department was advised to- i day that a group of Nicaraguan in- | surgents had sacked two stores in j western Bluefields, eastern Nicaragua, killing eight employes.

DEPRESSION ROUTED BY RUBBER CO. OFFICIALS By Scripps-Hotcard Netespaper Alliance AKRON, July 22. —With the claim that it has “beaten the depression,” the India Tire and Rubber Company here has put its wages back to former levels, refunded a 20 per cent wage cut in effect since last January, and commenced operation on a six-hour-day, seven-day-a-week working schedule.

Operating' four shifts a day, to use its machinery all twenty-four hours, has enabled the company to employ one-third more men and made the men better satisfied with their jobs, President W. G. Klaus said today. This schedule has been in effect since April 1. Klaus claimed his company is paying the highest wages in the industry, and yet is making profits. Wages in the factory, from office boys to officials, average 67*2 cents an hour, he said; only 7.6 per cent under the prosperity peak rate. Factory economies were responsible for the company’s showing, he said. “The last time a general wage cut went into effect in the inm

FORMER CHIEF SILENT UNDER JUDGE’S LASH Hope of Parole Is Blocked by Term of Year in County Jail. Stoic to the last, Claude M. Worley, former Indianapolis police chief and once the leader of the county’s strongest political faction, today was sentenced to serve six years in the federal penitentiary and the county jail, and fined SIO,OOO for income tax evasion. Worley, standing before Judge Robert C. Baltzell in federal court, accepted the sentence and the verbal attack of the court, with hands interlocked behind his back, his i head bowed. Only once did he change his attitude. He wiped perspiration from the back of his neck. The sentence was imposed on Worley's plea of guilty to the charge. The five-year term, to be served in Leavenworth, is based on three five-year terms to be served concurrently for the felony of wilful evasion of income tax payment. Year in County Jail The additional year, to be served in the countly jail after completion of the five-year term, is for the misdemeanor of failing to file an income tax return. The man who the government claims made approximately SIOO,OOO in four years, when his hignest paid job was S4BOO as police chief, found himself blocked by the law enforcement which he once directed. The year’s jail sentence closes j every channel for Worley to receive a parole on the federal term. It means that he must serve at least five years and ten months, provided his jail conduct in the last year of his incarceration is commendable. Baltzell denied plea of attorneys that Worley be granted an extension of time, before serving his sentence, to close his business affairs. Marshal Alf O. Meloy said Worley would be taken to the penitentiary in the next few days. Refuses to ‘Tell’ Time after time in the sentencing episode, Baltzell gave the “little fellow,” as Worley is known, an opportunity to tell how he got his thousands and with whom he dealt. The j bowed head and clenched hands were the only answers. Immediately after the sentence, Worley, in custody of Harry Gates, deputy marshal, was taken to the private office of the marshal through thronged corridors. He looked neither right nor left, and was granted his plea: ‘ Put me somewhere where all these people can’t see me.” “It would have been different if this man was a business man and made his money in legal ways,” Baltzell admonished. “This money of his, apparently, came to him through devious channels.” Lauded for Silence Michael Ryan, one of Worley’s attorneys, said Worley should be given credit for “not telling on any one else.” District Attorney George R. Jeffrey sketched the government’s case against Worley. Jeffrey revealed Worley had two large safety deposit boxes which he visited an unusual number of times during 1929 and 1930. “In 1925 he paid $17,500 for a home. Included in the payment wa a a $7,000 check from Leo Traugott which Traugot said was in payment of a loan. We found Worley Had purchased Liberty loa bonds worth $30,000 in 1927 and 1928 under peculiar circumstances. "Before passing judgment, I would like to know where this Income came from,” Baltzell said. “I would like to know if it came from illegitimate channels. Deposited Large Sums "You left the chief’s office early in 1930. During 1930, records show you depostied large sums in the bank, preceding each deposit with a visit to the safety deposit box. I wonder if the money might have been put in the deposit boxes while you were chief. "There may or may not be any significance to these visits, but I consider them significant. In 1930 you deposited about $8,300 In the bank and purchased stock worth $26,000. Where did that money come from?” Worley, looking at the floor, stood mute. “You are not charged witli anything but income tax evasion,” Baltzell continued, “but these thing* are of interest, particularly those occurring while you, as police chief, were responsible for our lives. “You had so much money unaccounted for that there must be something wrong, and I must take it into consideration in fixing sentence. ‘ “Don’t you want to tell me where this income came from? I will be glad to hear anything you have to say.” Worley remained silent. Frank Symmes, other counsel for Worley, said Worley also faced payment of more than $9,000 in income taxes to the government, in addition to his fine.
