Editor limes — HOW much longer are the' people of Indianapolis going to stand the attitude of traffic policemen? This morning as I came to work I heard a corner policeman use language that if any bystander had used and the policeman had overheard he would hfjve arrested him. I have heard people swear before, but I don't think one should have to listen to a corner cop do it. A truck from Ohio, loaded with horses, was going west on Washington street and the driver evidently had not seen the sign that trucks were not allowed to go straight through the city. At any rate, I imagine those men always will remember that they got one -grand" calling from an Indianapolis policeman. Courtesy certainly was not a. part of this mans attitude. The fact that he wears a blue uniform and has a badge should not make him forget that he is a gentleman. I am not one of the people who think that all policemen are the bunk, but I think, if I hear a few morp of them on a rainy morning, I shall change my opinion. A READER. n n a Editor Timm — SETTLERS of Hooverville would do well to choose a name for their village which show's mors sportsmanship. It is a mud-sling-ing epithet, at the President of the United States, who could not in any way be held personally responsible for the plight which they are in. All fair-minded citizens will agree that, Hooverville and Qurtisville are names poorly chosen. Why not call t heir towns Depression or some more general name? The depression is world-wide, and certainly is not to be attributed to any one person, and especially not to a hard-w’orking, hard-thinking man like the President of the United States. I suppose it gives them a feeling of importance that they thus pity themselves in the eyes of the world. Also, I greatly would appreciate it If the gentleman who believes in spanking our grown-up daughters would quote his scriptures, so that W'e will not be troubled in looking them up. I long have been an advocate of more paddling and less psychology, but I believe there should be an age limit. SUBSCRIBER. B B B Editor Timm — IF it is true, as opponents of the bonus claim, that 25 cents of each dollar paid by the taxpayer goes toward some kind of veterans’ relief, how can our patriotic American Legion, and our Veterans of Foreign Wars, unless they are fullfledged ignoramuses. have the nerve actually to expect more? Relief for the veterans in this country has given our eloquent, vote-seeking politicians more to be eloquent about, our grafting, moneygrabbing politicians more to graft, and our taxpayers (poor devils) more to kick about than anything you can mention. In our effort toward lessening the burden that is crushing our taxpayers (poor devils again), how about squelching this bonus thing and eliminating some of the grafting sweets by cutting down on bonus relief? A BUSINESS MAN. Bum Editor Timm — WE certainly are grateful for the good work you have done for highway construction employes, but, it seems of little help since Hoover has put his plan into effect. Nine dollars a week probably would keep a man in a construction camp, but what about his wife and children? They, too. need food, clothing and shelter. And children are required by law to attend school until the age of 16. Most of the men follow their company from job to job. They are between the ages of 25 and 50. and most of them have famiiles. Probably less than one-third of them have furniture, because it is necessary to move so often. The rest rent housekeeping rooms and either must pay high rent to be close to their work or keep ftp a car. Few’ construction companies work In the winter, so employes must make their summer’s wages last through winter, when they are out of work. If Hoover is to have an unrestrained hand until March it certainly will be a hard job to face the future unafraid. MRS. M. M. B B a Editor Timm — IN answer to the .so-called man who thinks he is one of "w-e better class of thinking people" who won the war by staying at home while the real men went across and gave their lives for their country and to save men like him. how many medals has he? Has he ever visited the veterans' hospital. If he is .so patriotic, perhaps he gladly would exchange places with some of them or with seme in Flanders Field. He couldn't be a real man and not sympathize, instead of criticise the men who were brave enough to go across. I suppose he is one of the many persons who has plenty of money and plenty to eat and just as long as his pockets and stomach are full he doesn't care about any one else. TIMES READER.

HOOVER BLAST DRAWING FIRE OF DEMOCRATS President Is Elated, but Rivals Prepare to Riddle Speech. HAIL AL SMITH MOVE ‘Happy Warrior’s’ Step to Mean Vote Landslide, Leaders Claim. BY I.EO R. SACK Time, Staff (.orruoindf nt WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.—Confident. that he has pumped new life into his sickly presidential campaign, a happy Herbert Hoover returned to the White House today. But whatever advantage the President feels that he gained through his cordial reception at Des Moines and en route is overshadowed, in the opinion of Democratic leaders, by the significance df the reunion between Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt and A1 Smith. A paradoxical situation prevails today with Democratic and Republican campaign managers both more cheerful over the final outcome. Republican's are hailing Hoover's speech. They think he has helped to stem the tide which has been running against him. They are urging that he make at least one speech a week until election day. Inclined to Heed Advice Although he is adverse to campaigning, Hoover is more inclined to heed this advice than he was before he left Washington. He realizes that one speech is not sufficient, and that a similar personal appeal is necessary in the Ohio-Indiana-Michigan sector, in New York, ana in New' England. Democrats, on the other hand, believe that Smith's cordiality to Roosevelt at Albany will mean hundreds of thousands of votes in New York, New Jersey and New England. It will have the effect, they say, of eliminating the hostility shown by Al's devoted followers to Roosevelt because he w r as the beneficiary of support from William Gibbs McAdoo. Smith previously had indicated that he would campaign in Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York and New Jersey for the ticket. Fighting Campaign Looming Each party is preparing to Pood the north and east with speakers in a final drive. Roosevelt will leave Albany again next w r eek for a trip through the border states. Hoover's next speech will be announced in a few days. Democrats are preparing to “riddle" the President's Des Moines speech and to show that instead of fighting the depression on a “thousand fronts," as he claimed, he marked time in Washington for nearly two years and did not begin to show a real fighting spirit until the last session of congress, when he was on the eve of a political campaign. The first fighting reply to Hoover came from Speaker John N. Garner, Democratic vice-presidential candidate, who declared: "He still is using those long range glasses w'hich reveal nothing except what occurs in foreign lands. It seems impossible for him to focus them upon his own country in an effort to ascertain the real cause and effect of the depression. Called “Drowning Cry’’ “He has not yet discerned the fact that lack of administrative initiative and leadership and blind adherence to obsolete policies here in the United States are the fundamental cause of domestic as well as world conditions." Senator Pat Harrison (Dem.. Miss.), described the speech as the "erv of a drowning man." and "a contortion of facts and w’easel promises." The Presidents assertion that the United States was within “two weeks" og going off the gold standard occasioned surprise at the capitol. where it was recalled that Senator David A. Reed (Rep., Pa.), intimate associate of Hoover, and authority of financial legislation, constantly assured senators, newspapermen and others that there was no danger of the country abandoning the gold standard. Similar assurances were given to the senate finance committee bv treasury officials. Feels Trip Worth While The President's train arrived here at 7 a. m. He went immediately to the White House for breakfast. He felt the trip was worth while, even in the face of several untoward incidents. Faint boos reached his ears at times. Occasionally, as in the street parade in Des Moines, there was silence. Small boys sometimes shouted “Hooray for Roosevelt.’’ At several stops children delighted in screaming "We want beer.’’

FAIL TO REACH AGREEMENT ON TAX SLASHES County Adjustment Board Adjourns Session Until Friday. DEADLOCK IS TIGHTER Reduction Demands of Fesler and Uhl Are Stressed Anew. Struggling for a compromise that would reduce the Center township rate below $3, the county tax adjustment board failed to reach an agrement today, ar-' adjourned until 9 Friday. Demand of Leo K. Fesler and Albe E. Uhl, board members, for reducion of the tentative $3.12 Center rate to $2.19 tightened the deadlock. The board previously had split itc two factions, wtih four memb'rs favoring a $2.90 rate a: 1 Fesler and Uhl demand'ng it be reduced to $2.75. Fesler declared he was “not opposed to compromise.’’ bu ■ anted bi 'get officials to agree to reductions. . Pleads for Co-Operation Nicholas H. Noyes, board member. pleaded for co-operation, asserting: “Let's try to do a good job. If someone else wants to object, and cause trouble, let them do it.’” Noyes apparently is aligned with county councilmen, Walter C. Boetcher, board chairman: John Newhouse and Charles Resener, and Charles A. Grossart, county auditor. This group has consented to a $2.90 rate for Center, and contends the county rate of 41.25 cents can not be sliced. Fesler again warned the board: “Unless we agree, the $1.50 tax limit law will be enforced automatically in Marion ocunty.” Approval of at least five members is necessary, under the new law, to raise the tpx rate above $1.50. Charges that “some members of the board are playing politics and holding up a compromise" was made today by Boetcher. The board did not consider today where it would make budget cuts. School Budget to Be Target “Budget officials of the city, county and schools must agree they will not go into court and start litigation contesting the levy before I will agree tp the $2.75 rate,” Fesler told the board. Reduction proposals include a suggestion to refund half of $709,224 poor relief bonds, falling due next year. This would cut about 8 cents from the levy. Boetcher explained another 14 cents reduction could be obtained in the civil city rate, tentatively $1.30, and the school city rate, tentatively $1,087. City officials already have protested against further reducing their budget and school officials will appear before the board Friday. The school budget apparently will be a target for huge reduction in operating expense. School officials probably will face a demand for reduction of the school term.

SBO,OOO LOSS ESTIMATED IN ‘ FIRE AT COUNTRY HOME

Berrhcote. large and lavishly-furnished country home of James W. Noel, Indianapolis attorney, which was destroyed by fire early today.

Beechcote, Residence of James W. Noel, Is Destroyed. Loss estimated at between SBO,OOO and SIOO,OOO was caused early today by flames of undetermined origin which consumed Beechcote, large and lavishly furnished country home of James W. Noel, Indianapolis attorney, at Big Eagle creek and Eightieth street. Jack Enrico, Filipino houseboy and caretaker, only occupant, told firemen he was awakened at 5 a. m. by heat of the flames and found smoke billowing into his room. Running into the library, which contained a valuable law book collection and antiques, and which apparently was the seat of the fire, Enrico dodged flames in a dash for the telephone. Finding it out of order, Enrico left just before the library floors started to give way, and drove to Trader's Point, about a mile away, to call firemen. Fire Companies Join Forces Fire company No. 24 from Indianapolis answered the alarm and meanwhile, Harold Taylor, attorney, and Noel's neighbor, had called the Zionsville fire department. The two forces joined, but the flames had gained too much headway to be controlled. After he had called firemen, Enrico returned to the house in an effort to save some furniture, and was joined by John and Henry Brandenburg and Raymond and Clifford Snyder, neighbors. Their efforts were futile, however, as a heavy pall of smoke and the increasing fury of the flames drove them out at once. Only casualty was Mickey, a red Irish setter, presented to Noel by his friend and neighbor, Taylor, overcome by smoke. Mickey burned to death in the hallway—almost at his goal in his dash for outdoors. Neighbor’s Wrist Cut Hugh Brennerman, another neighbor. suffered a cut wrist when he shattered glass of a door to the Noel home in an effort to rouse Enrico and rescue Mickey, in event the Filipino had not been awakened by the flames. A two and a half-story stucco structure, the Noel home was valued at $50,000. Antiques, furnishings and the law book collection were valued at a minimum of $30,000 by Enrico, with the total probably larger. Noel is on a vacation trip to Lake Walloon, Michigan, and was scheduled to return to Indianapolis today, according to his daughter. Mrs. Earl Henry, 3015 North Meridian street.

MARTIN INSULL DEFIES PLEAS TO SURRENDER Refuses to Surrender in Canada: Opens Battle to Bar Removal. ASK FUGITIVE WARRANT Samuel and Son Disappear From Paris: Believed Fleeing Extradition. By United Press CHICAGO. Oct, 6.—The Insull billion dollar utility debacle entered its most dramatic stage today. Authorities here sought money and methods to return to Chicago from foreign refuges, the Insull brothers. Samuel and Martin, who held sway over one of America's mightiest industrial empires. They are under indictment charged with larceny and embezzlement. In Paris, Samuel Insull was reported missing from his usual haunts. There were unconfirmed rumors that he may have left the country to avoid extradition. Martin Fights Efforts It was thought he might have gone to Luxemborg, where he would be safe, or possibly that he could have boarded the liner Majestic to return home voluntarily. In Orillia. Ont., Martin Insull refused to waive extradition and return here voluntarily. He retained attorneys to fight efforts of Chicago authorities to bring about his return. In Toronto, John Hampton, assistant state's attorney of Chicago, prepared to request. Canadian authorities to jail Insull on a fugitive warrant, thus holding him long enough to undertake extradition proceedings. R. F. C. Loan Sought Chicago authorities are harassed by a lack of funds. Governor Louis L. Emmerson refused to ask the state department to begin formal extradition proceedings until Cook county guarantees the cost, about SIO,OOO. John A. Swanson, state's attorney. is without funds to make the guarantee. Meanwhile, receivers of the vast Insull utility properties sought to hold them together. A formal application for $21,000,000 loan from the Reconstruction Finance Corporation for the Middle-West Utilities Corporation, Insull holding company, was in preparation. Martin Opens Fight By United Press TORONTO, Ont., Oct. 6.—Edward Bayly, deputy attorney-gen-ertl of Ontario, was retained today by Cook county, Illinois, to seek a warrant in Canada courts for the arrest of Martin J. Insull, as a fugitive from justice. Bayly consented to represent the county in Canadian courts after a conference with Wohn Hampton, assistant state’s attorney of Chicago. Hamptons plan was for Bayly to appear before a Canadian supreme court justice here this afternoon and apply for the warrant. If granted, it will be served on Insull in Orilllia immedia ely, and he will be imprisoned in a Canadian jail until the President's warrant for his extradition is received from Washington, together with the necessary papers from Ottawa. It was announced here that Insull had consulted J. C. Mcßuer and S. S. Mills, attorneys, in regard to fighting the indictments. He was interviewed at Orillia by Hampton, who flew through storms to Toronto to question him. The Chicago official reported his interview was "very unsatisfactory.” Insull, he said, refused* to answer questions except by a "no,” a shake of the head, or by “nothing to say.” Disappear From Paris By t nited Press PARIS. Oct. 6. Reports that Samuel Insull and his son, Samuel Jr., had left France so they might escape extradition to the United States were investigated today after the father and son disappeared. The Insulls were believed to have left their hotel early Wednesday, Officials at Le Bourget airdrome had no record of their departure by air. They would be safe from extradition if they reached Luxembourg.

The Rise and Fall of the Insulls Samuel Insull, his brother, and his son, are in exile, sought by the law for larceny and embezzlement in the stupendous crash of their utility empire. Their story soars far above the imagination of the writer of fiction. It is a tale which has no parallel in industrial history. Beside it the Mississippi Bubble and other vast enterprises which have colla osed, are as nothing. This story will be told in The Times by Forest Davis, famous New York writer, starting in Friday’s editions, in his series on “The Rise and Fall of the House of Insull.” It is a story that will interest every one, for every one has heard of the Insulls and thousands of Indianans have invested in Insull securities to their sorrow. Read the first article Friday.
