STATE SENATE ORDERS ROAD BOARD PROBE Use of Funds and Pressure on Legislators Will Be Sifted. HOUSE FIGHTS ON TAX Four Income Levy Measures Argued; Wright Law Action Delayed. Investigation of the Indiana highway commission by state senators was agreed on today, while representatives, holding their first Saturday session, battled on the floor over four income tax measures. Action on the Weiss bill for repeal of the Wright bone-dry law was postponed until Monday, after a count showed many representatives had ignored today's session to return to their homes. The highway department investigation, centering on charges that the department is a .political machine, is scheduled to be opened at 10 Monday by state senators. The house income bills would tax net incomes on a graduated percentage scale and corporate incomes 3 per cent. The fourth measure, known as the Kistler bill, would tax net incomes 1 1 ■■ per cent and in-! comes of business firms 12 1 2 per cent. Responsibility on House At, a session Friday night, the committee argued hotly for and against the measures and, failing to agree, suggested the bills be printed and placed upon, desks of house members. This placed full responsibility on the house. Directly involved in the highway quiz is the senate resolution requiring an accounting of the collection of funds made for the state committees of both political parties. Additional questioning is expect- i ed to cover the general allegation ! that commissioners arc trading road | improvement patronage in an effort to keep their $24,000,000 annual budget intact. The probe also will touch on the j promise of Commissioner Arthur | Sapp to oil a highway for a Wabash i manufacturer if Senator Charles L. j Strey (Rep.), Wabash, can be j whipped into supporting the com- i mission. Strey Favors Split Strey still favors dividing the state highway funds on a 50-50 basis with cities, counties and towns. He announced that he will appear at the hearing and present evidence to show that his stand has the support of the counties he represents —Kosciusko and Wabash. Today Strey received telegrams from the Wabash Chamber of Commerce and the Wabash county farm bureau, indorsing his stand. Senator John C. Sherwood (Rep ), Mitchell, is chairman of the roads committee. After saving the commission at the 1931 regular session, he was rewarded with anew paved highway past his farm. LUNCHROOM IS LOOTED Merchandise and Cash Taken: Grocery Also Is Robbed. Merchandise and $8 in cash was taken from the Club lunchroom, 1035 Prospect street. Friday night, the proprietor, A. F. Englehart, 1632 Woodlawn avenue, reported to police today. Entrance was gained by cutting a hole in the rear door. Cigars, cigarets and candy were included in the loot. When Sylvan J. Roth, manager of a Kroger grocery at 2304 Central avenue, opened the store early today, he reported to police that a screen had been torn from a rear window, a lock forced and the store ransacked. He was unable to give an estimate of th*e loot. BEGIN CHEVALIER CASE Divorce Hearing Is Authorized by Court at Paris.

Canary's Too Busy With Eggs; Can’t See Judge By United Press CHICAGO, July 23.—The Matusik-Frankiewicz cenary trouble can not be settled before next Friday. Kunish, Mrs. Anna Matusik's canary, is not at home. She's over at Carol Frankiewicz' place, on Avenue O in South Chicago. "And that’s j.ist the trouble,” Mrs. Matusik told Judge Samuel H. Trude. ''l want Kunish back and Frankiewicz won't give her back.” “Well, what’s she doing over there?” asked the judge. “Well, you see, it was this way,” explained Mrs. Matusik. “I had Kunish, see? And Frankiewicz had Zigmunt . . . “He had who?” asked the court. Zigmunt, another canary. And we thought it would be nice for the two birds to know one another. So I took Kunish over to Frankiewicz' place. v “Well, after a while, Kunish hatched out two settings of eggs, three the first time and five the second. I should have got four, but I got only three and instead of my own Kunish I got a dark, scrawny bird.” “Why don’t you give Mrs. Matusik her canary?” Judge Trude asked Frankiewicz. “It would be very unwise to move Kunish just now,” Frankiewicz replied. “You see, she’s sitting on some eggs again.” “Case continued to July 29,” the court ruled.

Dll United Press DUGGER, Ind., July 23.—Three hundred national guard troopers patrolled the Hoosier mine property today, as quiet reigned on the scene of the thirty-six-hour siege of twenty-seven miners by a thousand union pickets. Both pickets and the besieged mine staff had returned to their homes today. Despite the presence of the troopers, martial law- was not in force. The guardsmen were to protect the property pending a settlement of differences between the union and nonunion forces. No further disturbances were expected by authorities. Governor Harry G.

By United Vim* WASHINGTON. July 23.—The St. Lawrence treaty assures the Illinois waterway an- ample flow of water greater than that in the Panama canal, according to technical data prepared by Major General Lytle Brown, chief of army engineers. Brown’s report was issued by the administration in reply to mid-west-ern critics who asserted that provisions of the St. Lawrence treaty recently signed by the United States and Canada would destroy the usefullness of the Illinois waterway. Brown dismissed these charges as being “without basis in fact.” He said the Illinois waterway was assured a flow “ample for any commerce that may develop.” DENY POPE MET PRIEST Father James Cox Merely Admitted at General Audience, Paper Says, By I nited Per** VATICAN CITY.

July 23.—After taking a toll of nearly 275 lives by drowning and prostration, the heat wave which blanketed thirty states virtually was at an end today. High temperatures continued in a few regions, but over most of the area cool winds and rainstorms drove the temperature down from near the 100-degree mark, where it had remained for nearly two weeks. HUNTED 5 HOURS WITH DEATH IN HIS POCKET Army Major Given Too Strong Medicine; Found in Time. By United Press SEAGIRT, N. J., July 23.—Major George R. Koehler went about his duties at Camp Moore today, after riding around New Jersey Friday with “death’’ in his pocket. A pharmacist at Patterson, N. J., had given the major capsules containing a strychnine compound considerable stronger than his prescription had indicated. The druggist discovered his error and notified state police to hunt the officer. For five hours, police of two states vainly trailed the major’s automobile. Late at night, Major Koehler strolled nonchalantly into camp. He had taken two capsules several hours before, but still was “very much alive.” CHILD KILLED BY TRUCK Boy, 3, Run Down in Street Near His Home. Robert H.

However, the signing of the home loan bank bill by President Hoover Friday night injected anew angle into the situation. This bill provides for expansion of national bank notes by nearly a billion dollars.

Wife and Daughter Rush to Bedside, Too Late to Bid Farewell. By United Press LOS ANGELES, July 23. Florenz Ziegfeld, known the world over as the man w'ho “glorified the American girl," w'as dead today, victim of an attack of pleurisy that followed pneumonia. The silver-haired New' York producer, whose annual "Follies" was an institution of the American stage, died at 10:30 Friday night. His beautiful wife, Billie Burke, and his daughter Patricia, were near the bedside at Cedars of Lebanon hospital when death came. Ziegfeld's death w'as unexpected, although his condition had been critical for several weeks. He had been under treatment at a New Mexico sanitorium and was brought here this week, when he suddenly became worse. His physicians, however, had thought him improving in the last few? days. Rise Is Spectacular Born in Chicago in 1868, Ziegfeld's rise to the heights of theatrical fame combined an odd mixture of astute business sense, artistic dreams, and visionary theories. V Through the passing fancies of the show' .world, Ziegfeld moved, changing his productions to suit the popular vagaries, but always leader. Death came to Ziegfeld just a few minutes before the hour w'hen the curtain ordinarily fell on one of his lavish extravaganzas. The great producer w'as alone in the hospital chamber, the finest in the institution. He lay on the white hospital bed. the fragrance of many flowers in the air. A few minutes before he gaily had bade goodnight to his wife and 15-year-old daughter. Miss Burke had gone to the R-K-O film studio, w'here she was engaged in making a motion picture. His c’ ughter Patricia had returned to their home at Santa Monica. Suffers Heart Attack Helen Kennedy, 25, one of Ziegfeld's three nurses, each of them rivaling in beauty some of the stars of the producer's ‘•Follies,’’ entered the room, attracted by the sound of two sharp gasps. At glance she saw her patient was dead or dying. Ziegfeld's personal physician. Dr. E. C. Fishbaugh, w'as out. Miss Kennedy reached his associate. Dr. Maurice Radwin, who was in the hospital, and he hurried to the bedside. Ziegfeld had suffered a heart attack and, weakened by the long siege of pleurisy and pneumonia, his body had been too feeble to resist longer. Miss Burke hurried from the film lot. She collapsed as she entered the room and found she had been too late to see her husband alive. Patricia arrrived a few moments later and mother and daughter w'ept unrestrainedly. A moment later, Will Rogers, whose comedy act was one of the most sensational successes to come out of the "Follies,” came with his wife. He had been told of the death of his old friend and patron. Comforts Stricken Pair Sadly he comforted the producer's beautiful wife and daughter. A few minutes later Miss Burke and her daughter left to spend the night with the Rogers. After the first outburst, Miss Burke regained her outward composure and calmly comforted her w'eeping daughter. The shock of the death was heightened by the apparent strides toward recovery Ziegfeld had made in the last few days. His wife and daughter dined’ with him in the flower-banked hospital room with its view over the profuse flower ! gardens of the institution.

WORLEY IS RUSHED TO FEDERAL PRISON
Starts for Leavenworth on Same Day That Judge Gives Sentence. Prison doors closed today with a harsh, grating sound and Claude M. Worley, once Indianapolis police chief, exchanged his name for the number by which he will be known for the next five years. In a surprise move. Alf O. Meloy, United States marshal, started Worley on his way to Leavenworth penitentiary four hours after the former chief Friday heard Federal Judge Robert C. Baltzell pronounce sentence of five years in prison, followed by a year in jail, on income tax evasion charges. Worley also was fined SIO,OOO. He probably will be forced to serve the entire five years in prison without parole, because of the pending jail sentence, Meloy said. Kept in Marshal’s Office t Ordinarily, several days elapse between sentencing of a prisoner and his start to prison. The prison trip was made with Worley in charge of Deputy Marshal Harry E. Gates and a civilian guard, Claude E. Williamson of Ben Davis. The dapper, diminutive former chief was kept in the marshal's office, away from prying eyes, between j;he time he left the courtroom and time to go to the Union station to enter the drawing room in which he and his guards made the trip west. After being sentenced, Worley talked only to his attorneys. He was not visited by Mrs. Worley before starting the trip to prison. Silent in Court In the courtroom Friday morning, the ex-chief ignored Baltzell’s questions as to where he obtained the more than SIOO,OOO income the government charged he received from 1927 to 1930, inclusive, on most of which, it was charged, he failed wilfully to pay income tax. He stood poker-faced, as usual, and silent as District Attorney George R. Jeffrey recited results of investigation which brought a federal grand jury indictment, to which Worley pleaded guilty rather than face trial. Jeffrey recited the official salaries Worley had received each year since 1915, as an investigator, policeman

and finally as chief, and pointed out his mode of living was far beyond his salary. Baltzell pointed out that in 1930, besides depositing $8,300 in a bank after visits to his safety deposit boxes, Worley paid $15,000 cash for Silver Flash stock shares, loaned the company SI,OOO, bought Oxford Gable stock worth $6,000, and produced more cash for $5,000 in shares of a wood absorbent company. Questioned on Source “Where did that money come from?” Baltzell asked. “It looks like it came from the deposit boxes and had been placed there while you were chief.” To the remark of Michael A. Ryan, who, with Frank A. Symmes, represented Worley in court, that he “might have obtained the money from horse racing, gambling and shooting craps,” Baltzell remarked: “It would take a long time to win $90,000 shooting craps.” In describing an alleged purchase of $30,000 Liberty bonds by Worley in 1927 and 1928, while he was chief, Jeffrey said the bonds were bought for cash, Worley inducing Jake Wolf and Mike Maroney to make the purchase for him. In 1925 Worley bought a home for $17,500, which would have takeh all the money Worley might have saved up to that time, Jeffrey said.
HUSBAND ASKS $6,000 ALIMONY IN DIVORCE Suit Is Filed in Superior Court Seeking Judgment From Wife. John H. Ullrich wants to score a victory on the alimony racket and get legal sanction for his belief that wives, if they have the money, should be as responsible, financially, as husbands in*divorce actions. He filed suit today in superior court demanding a divorce and $6.000 judgment from his wife, Alice, with whom he lived seventeen years. His charge of cruel and inhuman treatment is based on allegation that she swore a warrant for his arrest as a “lazy husband.” She refused to cook, threw away food he bought and told him to get out of the house and stay out, the complaint charges. He supports his unusual request with: “I provided well for mv wife wffien I was able to find work.”

MOB ATTACKS POLO TEAM AT WILLARDPARK Life Guard Is Slugged and Policewoman Disarmed by Rioters. HUNDREDS IN FRACAS Free-for-AII Staged, With No Officers Near to Quell Trouble. Severe injuries were suffered by a city pool life guard and a policewoman was handled roughly and disarmed during clashes in two parks Friday night, which in one instance assumed the proportions of a riot, with several hundred persons engaged. Policy of the police department in placing women instead of men on duty at parks was blamed largely for the situation today. James Clark. 2005 North Delaware street, chief life guard at Rhodius park pool and coach of its water polo team, was unconscious for a time after he received a broken nose, bruises and other injuries in a general fight at Willard park. The battle followed a water polo victory of the Rhodius team over the Willard team. riayers Not Blamed Clark today declared that the | game, a triple overtime clash, was on a strictly sportsmanlike basis and blames none of the players on either side for the trouble that followed. The policewoman attacked and disarmed was Mrs. Mary Moore, on duty at Camp Sullivan. She said a Negro youth twisted her arm and [ seized her revolver after she fired one shot into the ground to attempt ito frighten him. She was trying to protect another youth the Negro is I alleged to have beaten. Mrs. Moore said that the Negro ! accused the other youth of having i "squawked to the cops.” causing a I raid on the craps game. Though a crowd estimated at 1,000 ! attended the water polo game, Mar- | garet V. Osborn, policewoman, was the only officer on duty at Willard ! park. She stated today she knew little about the fight which followed the game, taking the attitude that she had performed her duty by keeping the crowd in its place during the contest. Fight Starts in Park She remarked today that “semei body told me, “It's a good thing ! the fight was not in the park.’ ” Statements of police called by i radio and witnesses of the disorder I show the fight was in the park and spread to Randolph and Washington streets.
A motorist who halted at the intersection described the scene today. “I saw eight or nine fights in progress at one time.” he said. •They were all over the place. They piled up on the fenders of my car and were fighting on lawns. Triffic was halted.” First report was that of patrolman Clinton C. Robeson, who arrived at the park at 8:44. He said a crowd in the park and one at the street intersection were dispersed. Robeson said he was informed the participants in the fight had left in a truck. Another report was that of patrolman William Haugh, who said he arrived at the park at 8:45. He stated "they were gone before we got there.” Attacked After Game Clark said he and twelve Rhodius polo players went to Willard park in a truck and that they were oil their way to the machine after the game, preparing to return to Rhodius to don their street clothing, w-hen he was attacked. One man grabbed him, Clark said, and another struck him. He went to his knees and was struck again. He lost consciousness. Clark says 200 persons attacked him and the other members of the Rhodius group. After considerable fighting, the Rhodius men reached the truck, Clark was placed Jn an automobile, and taken to city' hospital. City Woman Attempts Suicide When William Talbot returned home to 6159 Indianola avenue Friday night he found his wife Martha, 64, lying cn the kitchen floor in a gas-filled room, with doors and windows stuffed. She was unconscious when police arrived and was taken to the Methodist hospital, where her condition is said to be not serious.
