Politics, politics, and more politics formed the subject of discussion in the Democratic party’s booth as well as the Republican today at the Indiana state fair.

Fair officials were well-contented with attendance figures of the 1932 exhibition. “We had a rainy Saturday for a bad start and then counting the depression on top of that we'll be lucky if we get out with a $20,000 red mark on the register,” one fair official said.

Cop Quarters Attention, Chief Mike Morrissey! On Thirty-eighth street, near the Monon railroad, and on Coliseum avenue south of the state fairground main gate stand uniformed patrolmen with canes waving motorists to “park here.” Officer 942, at least that’s the badge number, on Coliseum avenue was having a degree of success today with enticing autoists into his private parking zone. But the rub is that by the time the driver follows the officer’s cane wavings he's charged 25 cents by the parking place operator for being induced by the law-and-order badge. Large signs tell the pricecharge but the badge of the law looks bigger as it waves to motorists—and they fall like the fly did to the spider.

BABE RUTH IS ILL; RUSHED TO NEW YORK King of Baseball Sluggers Is on His Way Home for Examination. APPENDICITIS IS FEARED Mates View New Ailment With Alarm as World Series Approaches. By United Press DETROIT, Sept. B.— Babe Ruth, baseball's heroic slugger, returned to New York today for examination and treatment of abdominal pains, which he feared might resu’i in appendicitis. The New r York Yankees’ famous home run hitter was seized with the ailment Wednesday afternoon. When the pains grew worse, he telephoned to Manager Joe McCarthy at Buffalo, N. Y., for permission to go home. Ruth and his wife left Detroit aboard a Michigan Central train at 8:30 p. m. The seriousness of his ailment will not be known until he is examined by his personal physician in New York. He declined an examination in Detroit. Recall 1925 Collapse In view of the approaching world series, in which the Yankees are almost certain to participate, many of Babe’s teammates viewed his illness with alarm. They recalled his collapse at Asheville, N. C., in 1925 after a somewhat similar attack. He was in the hospital for more than a month then. Ruth’s absence from the world series would be a severe blow to the Yanks because he is their leading hitter. He has averaged 348 this season, despite his 38 years. He ranks fifth amon? the major leagues’ leading hitters. He is second in home run honors, with 40, while Jimmy Foxx of the Philadelphia Athletics has 51. Injured on July 18 Because of his careful diet and systematic exercising, Ruth has managed to slug away in recent years despite several injuries and illnesses. Babe's most recent injury was on July 18 when he pulled a "charley horse in his right leg at Yankee Stadium while sprinting after a fly to short right field. This kept him out of the game more than a week. The Yankees arrived here Wednesday to open a five-game series today with Detroit’s Tigers. Manager McCarthy is expected today.

‘BLACK BOX’ COMES TO LIFE—AS TERROR OF ’LEGGERS

'T'HE “black box” made its appearance today in the municipal court of Judge William H. Sheaffer. Not the famous "black box” of the D. C. Stephenson case, but a black box which strikes terror in bootleggers’ hearts by locating hidden booze like a bird dog points a sitting quail, or the proverbial peach tree rod divines the presence of hidden water. Sergeant Edwin Kruse and patrolmen William Marks and Kenneth Downs Wednesday night went to the home of Felix Crow. Negro, 1525 Cornell avenue, armed L

OPEN INQUEST INTO SUICIDE OF JEAN HARLOW’S HUSBAND; FILM BEAUTY, ILL. EXCUSED Plea of Platinum Star Accepted After Powerful Movie Interests Fail in LastMinute Effort to Block Probe. HOLLYWOOD STAR IN SECRET PARLEY Silvery-Haired Actress Confers With Brother of Mate to Discuss Intimate Details of Two Months of Married Life. BY RONALD WAGONER United Press Staff Correspondent LOS ANGELES, Sept. B.—Jean Harlow, platinum blond screen star, pleaded physical unfitness today and was excused from giving testimony at a coroner’s inquest called to seek a motive for the suicide of her husband, Paul Bern. The star made her plea through her attorney, Mendel Silverberg, who informed Coroner Frank Nance she still was incapacitated from shock suffered when Bern’s body, a bullet wound in the head, was found Monday. “She is too weak to testify,” the lawyer told Nance when he appeared at the Price & Daniels funeral home, where Bern’s body was held.

Earlier in the day, Miss Harlow held a secret conference with the brother of her dead husband, Paul Bern, to discuss intimate details of their life preceding the motion picture executive’s suicide. Even the studio officials and friends who have been Miss Harlow's counsellors since Bern shot himself weer barred from her room —the room in which her wedding took place two months ago. For two hours Miss Harlow and Henry Bern cofnerred in secret, but an expected statement which it was thought would disclose the motive for Bern's suicide was not forthcoming. What Bern discussed with the famous platinum-blonde actress, and what she told him, was not disclosed. Bern's Condition Topic But belief was general, as the conference ended, that the talk had hinged around the latest theory—that Bern killed himself because some intimate physical condition made him a prey to melancholia during the two months since his marriage to Miss Harlow. In the house were, besides Henry Bern, Louis B. Mayer, head of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studios;: Irving Thalberg, husband of Norma Shearer and Mayer's assistant, and Marino Bello, Miss Harlow’s stepfather. All, as they emerged from the confreence to go to the inquest into Bern’s death, refused even to discuss Miss Harlow’s condition. ’’All-Star” Cast Called Last-minute attempts on the part of powerful interests to block the inquest and sensational disclosures regarding Bern’s past life, tending to establish a motive, failed to move Coroner Frank Nance to bolt the inquest. The coroner assembled an “allstar” cast of witnessses for the hearing. The whirlwind series of incidents following the discovery of Bern’s body last Monday, continued. Miss Harlow was reported guarded constantly to prevent another attempt on her part to throty herself from a high balcony of her stepfather’s home. Her physician asserted she was too ill to testify at the inquest. Motive “Too Delicate” Dr. Frank R. Webb, assistant county autopsy surgeon, declared an autopsy on Bern’s body showed the producer free from disease at J the time of death and established a motive for the suicide that was “too delicate” to include in his formal report. It was learned in New York that j young womar lived at the Algonquin hotel for several years under the name of Mrs. Paul Bern ana received a yearly visit from ihe Hollywood executive. A second woman, according to Henry Bern, was loved by his brother and supported by him in a sanitarium after she suffered a j nervous collapse and a “derangement.” Refuses to Stop Inquest A radio conversation was held between Mayer and Dr. Ed B. Jones in Honolulu. Dr. Jones, Bern's phy- ! sician and personal friend, was said t 9 have elaborated on his theory! that Bern shot himself due to “acute melancholia.” Dr. Jones said he planned to return here Sept. 13. Mendel Silberberg, attorney, who j said he represented Miss Harlow,; M-G-M studios, and the Bellos, attempted to block the inquest. Coroner Nance refused. He in- j formed the attorney that he wanted to learn the definite motive and find i out why studio executives from M-G-M were at the suicide house more than two and a half hours before authorities were called. Harlow Heads List The witnesses called by Nance are as colorful a group as any movie cast ever selected on the M-G-M lot. Miss Harlow, ill and distraught, headed the list. Another was Thalberg, called Hollywood’s “boy wonder” when he was appointed Mayer’s assistant before he was 30. Henry Bern was called. Near exhaustion from his long plane ride

and from grief, the younger Bern announced his intention “to see that Paul’s name remains untarnished.” Butler’s Testimony Valuable M. E. Greenwood, tall, grayhaired studio manager at M-G-M, was another witness. Greenwood's face is heavily lined and he seldom smiles. He puffs constantly on a cigaret. With Thalberg, Greenwood was summoned to the Bern home when the body was found. John Carmichael, the butler who found the body, and his rotund wife, who took care of the Bern home’, are expected to give valuable testimony. Carmichael is a husky, heavy-handed man, not at all the' sleep type of butler usually found in movie homes. Carmichael has been silent since his early and conflicting stories on Bern's last hours at home. Star’s Parents Called H. A. Garrison, Negro chauffeur and bootblack on the Metro lot, is to tell of Bern’s last automobile ride on the Saturday preceding his death—when he asked the startled Negro how he (Garrison) would kill himself if he felt in a mood to die.” Another on the list is Clifton. Davis, Bern’s Negro gardener, who wept bitterly when he learned his employer was dead. Marino Bello, dapper mining man and stepfather of the platinum bland star, was called, as was Mrs Bello. Detective Lieutenant Joseph Whitehead of the Los Angeles police department, is typically the detective at all times. He was the first officer to reach the Bern home. It was he who found the death note in which Bern spoke of his “abject humiliation” and the “comedy” of the night before. MINER WAGE-SLASHING TEST 1$ DUE FRIDAY Convention Will Be Reconvened to Consider Operators’ Proposals. By United Press TERRE HAUTE, Ind., Sept. B. Indiana’s mine wage negotiations face the most crucial test since 1931 contracts expired March 31, when miners themselves meet here Friday to consider operators’ ultimatum proposals. The convention of district No. 11, United Mine Workers of America, must decide whether it will accept operators’ wage slicing proposals, and return to work, or whether the strike in Indiana’s union coal shafts will continue.
