COURT'S RULING GIVES WALKER CASE NEW LIFE Plea to Halt Hearing Denied, but Roosevelt Procedure Called Unfair. BY FREDERICK A. STORM linltrd Prt*t Staff Correspondent ALBANY, N. Y„ Aug. 30.—Mayor James J. Walker's fight against ouster charges was given new life today by a court decision which denied a plea to halt the hearing, but criticised the procedure as "unfair.” Ellis J. Staley, supreme court justice, ruled against the mayor, who sought to prohibit Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt from removing him, in a 3,000-word memorandum handed down late Monday. Tlie Governor "is responsible, not to the courts, but to the people and his own conscience,” the justice 1 held. Says Power Exceeded In every other respect, however, the ruling seemed a victory for the embattled mayor. It appeared to uphold Walker in three major contentions, as follows: That the Governor should have summoned witnesses against the mayor and allowed him to crossexamine them instead of accepting the ex-parte testimony before the Hofstadter legislative committee, on which the ouster charges are based, as evidence which he must explain away. That the Governor exceeded his | power in holding the mayor, now serving the latter part of his sec- : ond term, accountable for the of- I ficial acts of omissions of his first term. Hailed as "Viclory” That charges relating to "personal , affairs," not within the scope, or! affecting official action, unless such aet3 amount to moral turpitude,” are. precluded as grounds for removal. John J. Curtain, Walker’s attorney, hailed these interpretations as a great victory for the accussed official, but as a "greater victor for law and order and respect for the Constitution.” In line with Justice Staley’s criticism, Walker contends that six of Samuel Seabury's fifteen charges should be thrown out entirely and four in part.

CITY BUDGET MAKERS STRIVE FOR SLASHES Sullivan, Aids Seek to Opt Fund Pleas Ready for Council. Hopes of whipping the city’s 1933 budget into shape in time for submission to city council at a special meeting later this week were held by city officials today, it was reported. Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan and other city officials have been closeted in the offices of William L. Klder, city controller, working until late at night for more than a week in an effort to effect' economies, in addition to a 10 per cent salary cut, in the city government operation. The task of reducing the levy materially to comply with the $1.50 maximum levy law passed by the legislature, is complicated by more than $100,000,000 reduction in assessed valuation and increasing tax delinquencies. TWO THIEVES SOUGHT Negro Snatches Purses; Bandit Gets SlO From Grocer. A Negro youth accused of purse snatching near the downtown area and a bandit who robbed a grocery in the southeast section Monday are sought today by police. Miss Lydia Lycan, 1433 North Pennsylvania street, and Mrs. Louella Moore, 2226 North Talbot street, reported they were robbed of small amounts of money by a Negro footpad within a period of a few minutes in the same vicinity. Conrad Russell, 1202 Lexington avenue, grocer, was forced to give *lO to a bandit who accosted him in the store while several persons looked on from the street.

RAZZ FOR MIRACLE MAN City Man Visits Ontario Foot Twister

BY ARCH STEINEL TiyCY feet aren’t mates. . '*■*■*■ If they were this would be a lot of bother writing about debunking a guy you’ve never seen. But my feet aren't mates, and I got to get them mated. It happened this way. A fellow, friend of mine, said, “Did you read that yarn that Rex Beach wrote about the Canadan doctor who kills pain by twisting your foot in the August number of the Cosmopolitan?” When I replied "No.” he says, “Well, grab yourself a load of the magazine, and then go over and talk to Dr. Edward Lesch, podiatrist in Goldstein's department store. Lesch went up to Canada, made a special trip to see Beach’s miracle man, and he says that he’s been doing what this fellow has for the last thirteen or fourteen years. So, a load of the magazine is grabbed w'hich says in brief: "In a small Ontario village—Williamsburg—lives a country doctor who has the largest practice in the world. . . . His name is Dr. M. W. Locke. ... It is claimed he cures rheumatism, neuritis, sciatica and arthritis. He treats between 800 and 1,000 persons dialy. . . . His fixed fee is sl. . . . Twenty seconds suffice for the manipulation on the foot.”

Buchanan ‘Estate’ Case Now Is Taken to Court

Suit Is Filed at Cincinnati Charging City Man With Malicious Slander, The famed Buchanan $850,000,000 estate case, which has resulted in attempts to garner a fortune by hundreds of persons purporting to be heirs of William Buchanan, took a turn to the courts in Indianapolis today. A suit is on file in circuit court by Samuel Richardson of Cincinnati against C. E. Merrill of Indianapolis, demanding judgment of $5,000 on charges of malicious slander. Merrill lives at 255 South Audubon road. According to the suit Merrill is alleged to have said that Richardson, who is reported to be leading some of the negotiations in the estate case, said Richardson talked too much and might face prosecution. More than a year ago, the estate case, which is reported to hinge on

1 FOUND Lesch. He’s berrybrown, with quick-talking eyes. "Yes, I went up there a week ago to see this doctor. The very thing he’s doing I’ve done in this city to two-thirds of my patients and those seeking relief from arch trouble for ten years,” retorted Lesch modestly, but firmly. "He gives but one manipulation, and the easie/i one is effecting his so-called cures. I give three preliminary manipulations in addition to this one, and any one of those other manipulations is more important than the one manipulation. "Here give me your foot,” and with a firm grasp Lesch twists the meek foot downward, then snaps its first to the left then to the right. "That’s the entire manipulation this miracle man gives to the patients that come from everywhere in the United States and Canada. I do it in ten seconds. He does too. You can do it yourself after a few moments practice,” he explains. “It’s the shoes that he sells at $9 a pair upon which he depends for the ultimate cure of the arch trouble of his patients. m a it CARS crowded the roads around Dr. Locke's home for blocks. It would have taken me

a wealthy New York estate, caused a furore in Indianapolis. Hundreds of persons filed claims on the basis they were related to Buchanan. Since then, however, a Buffalo (N. Y.) paper searched records of courts and reported the entire story was a myth. This, thougn, has not prevented the continued efforts of the purported Buchanan heirs to seek the estate. THREE HURT IN~AUTOS Minor Injuries Suffered in Crashes Near City. Minor injuries were incurred by three persons in traffic mishaps outside the city limits Monday afternoon and night, according to deputy sheriffs. The injured are Lillian McArthur, 28, of 553 West Twenty-ninth street, lacerations on the legs; Hazel Henderson, 20, of 541 West Twenty-fifth street, face cuts, and Esther Love, 20, of 224 North Noble street, bruises.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

one and one-half hours to attain a seat in one of the chairs on his, lawn where he effects his ‘cures.’ But thirty minutes of watching was sufficient. He does nothing that I haven’t done for years here and while in the Panama Canal zone as the zone's only podiatrist. “There's something Beach didn’t mention in his story about him, and that is that the severe cases brought in in wheel-chairs and on stretchers are treated I understand by a chiropractor. "Beach claims Locke cures arthritis. I deny that possibility. Physicians can not cure it, nor can podiatrists. They can merely alleviate it at the present time,” Lesch said. u n u lYyf'Y “twisted” foot was beginning to feel light, odd, arched like a scared cat’s back. The other foot seemed dull, lifeless. They weren’t mates! Zounds! Then Lesch did credit to Locke the possibility of curing that which seemed to be rheumatism by the use of shoes with arch supports and the slight treatment. "Ninety-nine out of one hundred chances that 75 per cent of the people who have been treated for rheumatism, sciatica and haven't been cured can be cured of their ailments by proper arch supports and treatments,” Leach says He does not call these ills rheumatism, but says they are directly due to faulty bone struc ture in man's foundation—the foot. nun “■VTOU should see this doctor X pack them in, hour upon himr,” continued Lesch. "He does just as Beach said he did, works on a cash basis,and collects from each patient as he or she sits in a chair in front of him. He works from a swivel chair and goes around and around, continually in a circle, twisting feet and collecting dollars. "He is doing nothing that has not been done before, many times,” Lesch concluded. "Thanks' Doc!” I called to Lesch as the feet that weren’t mates hobbled out of his office.

LAWS TO CURB FEDERAL TRADE INVASION SEEN Shannon Committee Learns How U. S. Has Entered Ranks of Business. BY MARSHALL M’NEIL Times Staff Writer WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.—Legislation to curb the scope of federal farm board operations, and to halt all other invasions of business by government—such as the sale of lingerie, auto parts, and radios byarmy and navy stores—may result from the Shannon committee investigation, now in its last phases. The committee, at present in New Orleans, having gone there from Memphis, is expected to complete its hearings at New- York and in this city, about mid-September. A report to the short session of congress, recommending legislation is in prospect. Thus far, the inquiry has developed more than ten large volumes of typewritten testimony from merchants, businessmen, editors, farmers, lawyers, railroad men, and others complaining against the government's entrance into business, through one doorway or another. Argue Against Farm Board The outstanding testimony has been that against the farm board, whose operations have been anathema to Representative Joseph Shannon (Dem., Mo.). These hearings have revealed some of the government's operations in business which heretofore have escaped general notice. From out in Bremerton, Wash., came the city finance commissioner, to complain about government laundries hurting private business. The committee delved into the manufacturing operations of the war department, and BrigadierGeneral H. C. Whitehead of the quartermaster corps testified that it costs from 85 to 90 cents more to manufacture soldiers’ uniforms at government factories than it would under contract. The general admitted he never had worn a uniform made by a government agency. At Kansas City, L. F. Savage of Portsmouth, Va., told the committee how the navy stores sold “everything from women’s lingerie, perfumery, Frigidaires and radios to spare parts for autos.” Imposing List Presented But it was M. W. Borders Sr., general counsel for a group of business men, who furnished the most imposing list of commodities and services in which the government dealt. According to his testimony, the government, through various agencies in which it is directly or indirectly interested, turns out such things as: Anchor chains, architectural drawings, bakery goods, book printing and binding, brushes and brooms (at prison), calendars, canvas products, clothing, coffee (the farm board traded wheat for it to Brazil), commercial tests at the bureau of standards, contracting work, cordage, creamery products (through farm board co-operatives), dredging, electric power, engraving, explosives, firearms and furniture. The government deals in furs (it has a seal herd on Pribiloff island), helium gas, ice, ice cream (in the Canal zone, in a year, 186,023 eskimo pies were made); it handles insurance, operates laundries, leases oil lands, sells lumber, makes maps and charts, metal castings, and movies; it is interested in the reindeer ranching industry in Alaska, makes sausage in the Canal zone, shoes at prisons, lends money for ships, makes textiles in other prisons, and has an interest in the wool business through farm board co-operatives.

Relief Agencies Worried by Trend This Summer

Seasonal Drop in Needs of Poor Only Fraction of Year Ago. BY MAX STERN Tines Staff Writer WASHINGTON. Aug. 30.—Relief agencies are worried over this summer's trends, as indicated in today’s monthly relief bulletin from the United States children’s bureau. This report, covering June surveys from 126 cities of 50,000 population and more, shows that the seasonal drop in relief expenditures by both public and private relief agencies in these cities was only 1 per cent in June under Mai'. The decline from May to June of last summer was 6 per cent. In the reporting cities, relief expenditures increased 91 per cent in June of this year, as compared with June of last year. This relief, covering 991 agencies of the 126 cities, totaled this June for direct and work relief the sum of $2,960,285. In June of last year the sum was only $12,030,581. Public funds now are carrying more of the burden. Only onethird of the 1931 June’s relief bill was general relief by public agencies. The amount of such public relief in June, 1932, was $10,136,032, or nearly one-half of the month's

total expenditures for all forms of relief. In June of this year, as compared with June of 1931, general relief administered by public departments increased 171 per cent: veterans' relief, 159 per cent; relief administered by nonsectarian family societies. 11l per cent: relief administered by emergency committees, 492 per cent. Many family societies, it is pointed out, have been assuming responsibility for administering relief grants from public treasuries. The number of families aided in June of this year, as reported by 747 agencies, totaled 793,169. compared with 811.355 in May. The average grant per family was $20.89 in June and $20.49 in May. H. P.

THURMAN HELPS SPRINGER DRIVE But He Does Not Mention Name of Watson. Adhering to his announced mten- : tion to speak for the Republican state ticket, M. Bert Thurman, former national committeeman, introj duced Raymond S. Springer. Gov- . ernor nominee, at the meeting of the i G. O. P. Wage Earners’ League at the Clay pool Monday night. But Thurman did not mention the name of Senator James E. Wat--1 son, candidate for re-election. Friends of Thurman, who had i supported him for the Governor nomination, had received assurance that he would "play the game” as far as the state ticket was concerned. but he would not mention the name of Watson, who, it is charged, double-crossed him. Springer attacked Franklin D. Roosevelt for his proposal to call an international congress to settle tariff problems. Members of the Indiana Republican Veterans will meet at a dinner tonight at the Severin sponsored by the Marion county group. Senators James E. Watson and Arthur R. Robinson. Springer and Ivan C. Morgan, state chairman, will be honor guests.
