LOTTERY HUNT HITS CHURCHES OF ,COUNTRY Investigation Is Extended to Bazars, in Wake of Lodge Indictments. COURT FIGHT PROMISED Frank E. Hering, Eagles’ Publisher, Denies U. S. Law Violation. B!l 7 imrs iS (iifiril WASHINGTON. Aug. 20.—A farflung investigation which will include even church bazar lotteries is under way, federal officials revealed today, in the wake or the indictment \ of six prominent men for alleged; connection with lodge lotteries. At the same time, announcement was made by Frank E. Hering of South Bend, Ind.. publisher of the Eagles' magazine, one of the men indicted, that the case will be fought through the highest courts. The campaign against lotteries has been extended virtually to every part of the country, with scores of detective agencies enlisted. Government officials said they have evidence that churches of the countries and lodges have placed thousands of dollars in their treasuries through a large variety of games of chance. Trobe Other Pools Tti addition, baseball pools and other lotteries are being probed, in the general round-up. Evidence in nearly 200 lotteries conducted by Illinois and Indiana churches is being assembled. In one case, that of a Chicago church, it was said that 750 tickets at $2.50 apiece had been sold for a dance in Los Angeles that never was held. However, the holder of the prizewinning ticket received SSOO. One of the lotteries said to have been conducted under direction ol Senator James J. Davis of Pennsylvania. ore of the six indicted, sold a million tickets at $1 each, officials disclosed. However, it was said today by one official that he doubted that the senator would be involved in any direct violation of United States law. He intimated that some of the charges against Davis would be dropped. Mails Watched Closely A close watch is being kept on the mails, to detect any games of chance being operated by means of the postal system. Telegraph, telephone and personal calls are being used by promoters, also. One church in Charleston, S. C., is said to have operated a lottery on the Kentucky Derby this year. Hcring's statement declared that lie believed the whole question was one of law and its interpretation. “If necessary,” he said, “this will be^ear ried through successive courts. *1 voluntarily appeared before the grand Jury in New York a month ago.

I assumed. however, that when the Western Union Telegraph Company, a great national corporation, furnished its services that the corporation must have been advised by its attorneys as we were advised by ours, that the bazars we conducted were not a violation of any federal statute, I still adhere to that, opinion, as do my associates in the Eagles.” ‘MR.

Dance War Police Traffic Chief and Evangelist D spute Over Street ‘Shindigs.’

T'HE rhythm of swaying bodies and the beat of the tom-tom in public traffiicways became the center of a controversy today over the city’s right to sponsor street dancing. From a pulpit in the shadow of the city hall came the verbal mandate of E. Howard Cadle, evangelist, “they shall not dance." And across a chasm of demands of the dance-minded came the answer of Lieutenant Frank Owen of the traffic department, “it is to dance.” The fight started a week ago when Cadle, in a radio address, flayed city officials for “periling the morals of the younger generation by making dancing “free to all.” a a a CRADLE'S campaign was reu warded with some success when A. C. Sallee, superintendent of parks, had no dance scheduled for tonight, in the northwest section of the city. But the victory may be short lived if Owen carries out his threat to stage a street dance next Saturday night at Fountain square. He said hundreds of phone calls have been received from persons who want the street dances continued. Declaring he will fight to “the last ditch” to halt the practice, Cadle today reiterated his assertions of a week ago. "Thr city could not do anything worse than to have street dances which arouse passions of young people." Cadle said. a a a “TN times when people arp brokA en hearted, and in trouble, the city permits the roping off of public streets for a tom-tom dance, but refused to rope off a section at Riverside park for baptising Christians.” He referred to the city’s refusal to give Uldine Utley, girl evangelist. police protection when she baptised about 10(1 converts at Riverside park several weeks ago. “We staged the baptism anyw'ay, but were forced to listen to the jeers of hoodlums,” Cadle declared. To which Owen retorted: “Every knock is a boost from some people."

ASSESSOR APPEALS McCloskey Carries Fight to State Tax Board. Carrying his fight for higher assessments on dow'ntown property to the state tax board, John C. McCloskey, Center township assessor, today appealed from county board review' decisions on seventy-one parcels of real estate. McCloskey s assessments w'ere lowered by the review,board despite his opposition. “The board of review has betrayed small property owners by favoring the large real estate holders." McCloskey said. He seeks to have ground values on Monument Circle fixed at $4,500 a front foot for the north segments and at $5,000 for south segments. Thpse items w - ere reduced materially by the review' board, which assessed southwest segment at $2,900. southeast segment at $2,600 and the north segments at $2,200 each.

Singing Violin Is Silent and Dreamer Lies Dead

Vision Shattered. So Strong Man Finds His Solace in Grave. Rn Times {iprrinl NEW YORK. Aug. 20.—Up from the docks he come, nine years ago. a sturdy, stocky man. strong and hard, his face whipped red by the winds that blow on every sea. Carrying only his battered sea bag and a violin, he rented a room on th° upper floor of a tenement in Brooklyn. He rarely spoke to other tenants, but at night they could hear weird music from his violin, strange music, foreign to them. To the few to whom he spoke, he said his name was John Roberts But he really was Robert M. Rozet. a Russian, who had dreamed, his life through, that he would play his treasured instrument as Paganini did. All his money had been spent in study in younger, happier days, when ambition burned strong in his breast. Then he had taken to the sea. as a strong man would, to get more money. And he bore the scars of his wanderings—long fingers crooked as though broken and a knife scar seared on one jaw. He had known the toils of day and the lonely night watches in the seven seas, had seen the yellow ports of China and had listened to black laughter on the docks of New Orleans.

INTREPID SCOT DELAYS FLIGHT BACK OVER SEA Mollison to Take His Time; Will Fly to New York Next Week. BRIDE TO SAIL FOR U. S. Captain Jimmy ‘Catching Up’ on Sleep After Trip Across Atlantic. Bn United Pre ss ST. JOHN, N. B. Aug. 20.—Captain James A. Mcliison today canceled plans for a flight to Mon- : treal and Ottawa and prepared to fly direct to New York Sunday. (Copyright, 1932. b.v United Press) ST. JOHN, New Brunswick, Aug. 20.—Captain Jimmie Mollison, “flying bridegroom,” who piloted a Puss ! Moth plane across the Atlantic alone, the first to make that deadly east-to-west solo crossing, has abandoned his three-day round trip plan, and will fly io Montreal and Ottawa. He will fly back home later, he | said. Thoroughly exhausted after battling heavy log in that first non- | stop solo fhgni from Ireland to New York, the husband of England s foremost woman flier. Amy Johnson, said he will stop at Montrcal at the behest of his friend. Colonel W. A. Bishop, famous Canadian war ace. Captain Mollison landed at Pennfield Ridge, near St. John, at 12:50 jp. m., eastern standard time, Friday, after thirty hours and ten minutes in the air. He flew the Atlantic in a plane so small he hardly could squeeze into it. He Isn’t a “Fool” The tiny monoplane, which he has called “Heart’s Content,” was being checked and refueled at the i St. John airport today. “It’s a fine ship,” he said. “It didn’t miss a lick. All the way over I felt as though I had a trusted servant beneath my feet. And when I landed, the plane apparent- | ly was in as good condition as when I started.” Captain Jimmie, as he is known to all of England, made aviation history when he completed his flight. The east-to-west crossing of the Atlantic has cost more lives than any other flying course. Since Nungesser and Coli, many men and women have perished trying to reach America from Europe. Yet Mollison flew it, and having flown it, didn’t seem greatly excited about it. “I didn't think I would get so tired,” he said. “But there's no sense in a man's making a fool of himself.” Once he reached St. John from Pennfield Ridge, Mollison’s first thought was of his wife. He asked the press to get the news to London quickly. Then he put in a trans-Atlantic telephone call. Amy to Sail Today An hour later he talked to Amy Johnson. She had stood on the beach at Portmarnock, Ireland, to watch him speed into the haze, over the Atlantic. She told him when he called that he should go to bed, and get some sleep. She told him, also, that in view of the fact that he would not be turning back for England immediately, she would take ship today for New York, to join him in the United States. "I’ll be in New York about a week, I think," the 27-year-old Scot said. "Oh, yes. I'll fly back. But Mrs. Mollison won't be with me."

Then sea jobs came seldom. So he took to the docks, juggling heavy ourdens, lqading and unloading ships from the four corners of the parth as they came to rest in New York. And every night he would play his violin, the strange foreign melodies coming down to other tenement dwellers. Then there was no work. Hr, pawned his w'atch, the trinkets he had picked up in faraway lands, and then his clothes. And still, he played his violin. There came the day when he did not play. He sold his violin and barred the door to his room. And when policemen, called by his landlady, broke into the room, they found the dark man sitting on his bed. A gas tube w r as in his mouth and he had been dead for four days.

The cuffs of his baggy, shapeless trousers hid his shoes as they clung to the floor. He eyed the low tables with bent, curly heads leaning on them deep in some adventure book. He sat down, uncomfortably, at one of the low tables, and picked up a book that lounged there. He scanned it. An hour passed. He was engrossed in the book's type.

Helpless; Jail Almost Completely Paralyzed Man Giyen Year in U. S. Prison.

HELPLESS from the effects of paralysis, Fred S. Steel, 29, was carried into the federal court room by two prisoners today and received a sentence of a year and a day in Leavenworth (Kan.) penitentiary. He was one of three Indianapolis men to receive penalties. Steel was convicted of transporting stolen automobile from Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., to Indianapolis in 1929. While awaiting trial three years ago he suffered injuries in a fall which caused paralysis. Owing to his condition. Steel was not sentenced at that time, his case being taken under advisement with instructions that he report to Federal Judge Robert C. Baltzell. Steel failed to make reports. Ironical humor was injected into the proceedings today when the almost helpless man told Baltzell: "I got a job as a night watchman in Kansas City.” Others sentenced were John Perry and A1 Cox, who each received sixty-day terms on liquor convictions. empireWe PACTS SIGNED Nine Units Formally Accept Ottawa Treaties. Bn I nilrd I'res* OTTAWA. Aug. 20.—The British empire economic conference—whose delegates represent one-quarter of the population of the world —wrote its page in history today. In plenary session the chief delegates of nine empire units formally signed the trade treaties they had spent thirty exhaustive days in negotiating. Stanley Bruce for Australia and Neville Chamberlain for Great Britain, signed their treaty at 10:38 a. m. Other chief delegates followed in order. Brought into being as the answer of the British commonwealth of nations to world depression, seeking to stimulate trade throughout that commonwealth, the agreements were not made public at once.

It was announced a statement showing the “nature and scope” of the British-Canadian agreement would be issued some time today. The Australian-Canadian treaty may not be published until Tuesday, so that the Australian government may study it first.

ROOSEVELT IN OHIO TO PATCH UP PARTY RIFT Governor to Open Campaign at State Convention of Democrats. COX TO DO INTRODUCING Standard Bearer Will Try to Heal Wounds From Chicago Parley. bn Time* Spec in l COLUMBUS. 0., Aug. 20.—Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt arrived here by train from Albany, N. Y„ at noon today. The Democratic presidential nominee will open his campaign with an address before the Ohio Democratic convention here at 4 p. m. (Eastern Standard Time). National Democratic leaders are hopeful that the appearance of Governor Roosevelt will heal the wounds of the Chicago convention and break a Republican stranglehold which has endured, with a single exception, for more than sixty years. Already much of the bitterness that marked Ohio's alliance with the stop-Roosevelt .movement has disappeared. Leaders expect that Governor Roosevelt, in his address before the largest Ohio Democratic rally in more than a decade, will complete the task of solidifying party sentiment. Resisted Bandwagon Drive Nearly half of the Ohio delegates to the national convention resisted the fourth-ballot Roosevelt bandwagon, 17 of the 55 swinging to A1 Smith and the others dividing among remaining candidates. Even when his nominatiort was assured, only twenty-nine delegates voted for Roosevelt. The Ohio Democratic split developed because the mother of Presidents had found herself possessed of quadruplet favorite sons —White, Baker, Cox and Bulkley. James M. Cox, ex-Governor and presidential nominee of 1920, who was active in anti-Roosevelt maneuvers at Chicago, has swung his support to Roosevelt, and will introduce the Governor at Columbus. White Is Reconciled Governor George White. Ohio's foremost favorite son at Chicago, has become reconciled to the defeat of his vice-presidential aspirations, and has announced his wholehearted support for the RooseveltGarner ticket. Newton D. Baker, has indicated, although he will be unable to attend the state convention today, that he will assume a generous burden of later speech-making. Senator Robert J. Bulkley, fourth of the favorite sons, cast his delegate's vote for Roosevelt on the final ballot, and recently met th* nominee in Albany to assure him of his support and predict victory in Ohio. He is keynoter of the state convention. The Democratic task in Ohio, as leaders here see it, is to light the fire under lukewarm Democrats, and to woo Republican wets and others dissatisfied with the Hoover administration. Count on Wet Plank The Democratic conquest for Ohio s twenty-six electoral votes two more than in 1928—has been given strength by the Democratic upheaval of two years ago, when White won a decisive victory over Governor Myers Y. Cooper (Rep.), when Bulkley was elected on a dripping tvet platform and six new Democratic congressmen were elected. Democrats also are counting on their outspoken wet platform to win additional votes in Ohio, since 1930 '’lections and subsequent prohibition *’-lls have shown an unquestionable wet trend. If Roosevelt is to win Ohio, the Democrats must) 1 break a tradition which has prevailed in fourteen out of the last fifteen presidential elec- ; tions. In only one of those elections, that of 1916, did Ohio give the Democratic nominee a majority, in that year, Woodrow Wilson gathered 604,000 votes against 514.000 for Charles Evans Hughes. Four years earlier, Ohio's Republican vote was split between Taft and Roosevelt, Wilson winning a plurality. RUM PLOT TO BEPROBED Terre Haute Slaying Case to Be Studied by U. S. Jury. Among cases which will receive attention of the federal grand jury : when it meets Monday after a weekend recess is a liquor conspiracy case linked with a Terre Haute slaying in which it is said about twenty-persons are involved. Another important case to be investigated is based on alleged liquor selling during the convention of the Indiana department, American LeI gion. in Kokomo. Postal cases will receive attention of the jury Monday morning, and i liquor cases in the afternoon.

occur in the library's children room, as growm-ups bashfully ask to read the books of their boy and girlhood. “The chances are he did want his grandson to read the book, but the chances also are that it was a pretty good excuse for him to read the book over again himself,’’ Miss Garten says. But 1932's youth does not need ‘ grandpop" to send them back to adventuring with "Huck” Finn or reveling in the armored fights of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table.

Tired, Weary, but They Are Determined to Keep On Until Sunday. CELEBRATE IN SKY Dozen Planes Stunt Wildly as Former Mark Is Bettered. By United Press VALLEY STREAM, L. 1.. Aug. 20. —Two weary young women piloted their "flying boudoir" above Curtiss airport here in the sixth day of their record smashing endurance flight, determined to remain aloft until Sunday afternoon. At 2 p. m. (eastern standard time) today Mrs. Frances Harrel Marsalis and Mrs. Louise McPhetridge Thaden had been in the air 146 consecutive hours, hours longer than the old record established in January. 1931, by Bobby Trout and Edna May Cooper. The old record was 122 hours and 50 minutes. They were "dog tired" today, but convinced that they and their plane were good for many hours more. They want to stay in the air ten days. If they do, they will establish a record of 240 hours. But C. S. (Casey) Jones, manager of the airport, declared he probably would order them down Sunday. "Those girls have done wonderfully,” he declared. "I don't want them to risk their lives, and I think Sunday will be the limit of safe endurance. If they stay up until then they’ll have a record that will stand for a long time.” Celebration in Air Five minutes before the new record was established Friday afternoon, half a dozen planes stunted wildly about the women's blue and silver monoplane. The refueling plane, piloted by Johnny Runger and Stewart Reiss, hopped and joined in the demonstration. Runger leaped overboard and floated to earth, waving to the girl pilots as his parachute carried him past the endurance plane. The Flying Boudoir swung away from its escort, and dropped low over the airport, dipping its wings in salute. Then it zoomed up to 3 500 feet, contining its aerial antics. Sheafs of congratulatory telegrams and messages were taken aloft for the girl fliers. There was a message from Mrs. Thaden’s parents in Bentonville, Ark.: another from her husband in Baltimore. William I. Marsalis, a commercial pilot, sent a note to his record-breaking wife. Both “Veteran” Fliers Neither Mrs. Thaden nor Mrs. Marsalis is a novice at flying. Both are 26. and have flown for several years. Mrs. Thaden in 1920 won the first women's air derby from the Pacific coast to Cleveland. She has held the women's altitude record, the nonrefueling endurance mark, and the speed record. Mrs. Marsalis learned to fly in 1927. She participated in the national air tour in 1929. Later she toured the United States, Canada and Cuba with an air circus as its only woman flier. Good weather today indicated the Flying Boudoir could continue for hours. The two women were fresher than on the third and fourth days of the flight. Both pflots had a few hours sleep Friday, their first in thirty-six hours. Heavy rain and fog most of Thursday had kept them under constant strain. HOOVER NATTY ALL THROUGH FISHING TRIP Never Seen Withou Flannels, Coat, Collar and Tie.
