‘CONSTABLE’ IS ‘VINDICATED’ IN EVICTION CASE Judge Declares ‘Officer’ Was Within Rights in Slugging Affair. Charles Freeman, special “constable,’ today was vindicated of employing brutality in an eviction disorder last month, when Municipal Judge Clifton R. Cameron dismissed two assault and battery charges against the officer. Cameron heard evidence on Oct. 6 in one case and on Oct. 14 in another, postponing his decision until today. In freeing the constable, Cameron said: “Thus man had a writ to serve and he had the state of Indiana back of him—a writ ordering him to dispossess these people. “There was a crowd there to prevent him doing this. He had the power and the right to use all force necessary to execute that writ. If he had gone beyond this, he would have been liable. I do not think he used more force than necessary. I therefore dismiss both charges.” “Thank you. Judge,” said Freeman as he walked away. Freeman was charged in two complaints with slugging Robert Griffin, 42, of 559 Marion avenufe, and striking Mrs. Della Bridgewater, 45, of 826 Coffey street, with a chair during an eviction of Mr. and Mrs. James H. Evans and their six children from the Coffey street address. Mrs. Bridgewater is Mrs. Evans’ mother. The “constable” is alleged to have struck Griffin with a blackjack from behind as Griffin, attracted by the uproar attending the eviction, stood on the sidewalk, talking, at the Coffey street address. The alleged slugging was attested by Sergeant Noel Jones, who sat nearby in a police cruiser and arrested Freeman. Bearing writs issued in the court

Forgotten? Al! By Initrd Pre NEW YORK, Oct. 21—Alfred E. Smith learned today that as far as underwear is concerned, he is not the forgotten man. In his Tammany Hall speech Wednesday night, the former presidential candidate, referred Jokingly to patches on his undergarments. Since then he has been deluged with letters and telephone calls demanding to know what size, what kind, and what color preferred. Smith has modestly declined to reveal his tastes but a whispering campaign has it that he prefers long, fuzzy woolies, not necessarily red.

of T. 8. Crutcher, Irvington justice of the peace. Freeman went to the Evans home Sept. 15 with the command: “Come on! Get your clothes on, because I'm going to put you out. I’m tired of monkeying with you.” Occupants of the house said he displayed no badge and read no papers. Seating himself on the porch, Freeman waited two hours for a truck to arrive and then, it is alleged, tore down an American flag nailed over the doorway, broke the door, and entered. During the altercation inside, Freeman is alleged to have struck Mrs. Bridgewater on the head with a chair and attacked, with another chair, Mrs. Evans and Mrs. Anna Mount, a neighbor. Rushing from the house, Freemen, it is alleged, charged into the crowd, striking Griffin and several other bystanders. Police quelled the disorder and arrested Freeman. CUT WHOLESALE PRICES By Bcrippt-Howard B'exespaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.—Wholesale prices are continuing the downward course visible since Oct. 1, the United States bureau of labor statistics reported today.

MORE JOBS, IS GOAL OF HOME loanbankers Patriotic Duty to Extend Loaning Power, Building Association Told. ‘‘lt is the patriotic duty of building and loan associations to take part in the functioning of the home loan bank in order to resume their loaning power to their individual clients,’’ Morton Bodfish of Chicago, member of the federal home loan bank board, said in an address this afternoon at the Lincoln. Bodflsh was the principal speaker at the annual convention of the Building and Loan League of Indiana. Speaking on the subject, “Hard Times and Mortgages,” Bodfish described workings of the home loan bank as it effected the individual association and the citizens of their communities. WIN “The public has a right to expect the building and loan associations to arrange their affairs in such manner that they can continue functioning as lending agencies,” Bodfish declared. “There are enough jobs in Indiana, Illinois and Michigan for painters, carpenters and roofers to solve the unemployment problems of these trades for the next three years,” he declared, “if money can be obtained to finance the work. It is to supply this money that we have set as our goal.” Second objective will be to care for the refinancing needs of homeowners which require assistance in carrying their loans and saving their homes from foreclosure, Bodfish said. Woman Injured by Auto Miss Melesse Critchfield, 21, of 311 East Twenty-fourth street, suffered bruises on the head and body Thursday when struck by an automobile driven by Peter Hinds, 64, McCordsville, at Twenty-fifth street and Central avenue.

His opponents have found Joe Kurth, Notre Dame’s star tackle, a hard fellow to stop whefi he starts going places, but Miss Virginia Gottlieb, 19 (above), has halted him in his choice of jobs on graduation. A freshman student at Wisconsin university, she has announced her engagement to Kurth and her insistence that he become a sports writer rather than a football coach. So Kurth is majoring in journalism.

1. U. NOT TO STAGEREVUE ‘Jordan River’ to Be Merged Witn ‘Gaities/ • Passing of two Indiana university i institutions was announced today with the decision not to produce the "Jordan River Revue,” the univer- j sity’s annual musical comedy, or the “Garrick Gaieties,” annual vaudeville show. Instead, the two shows will be merged and only one show produced j with John Gant, Attica, who was to i have directed both productions, in '< charge. The new production will be put on some time during the second semester in Alumni hall. The manuscript will be written professionally. The “Jordan River Revue” first was produced in 1922 and played the larger Indiana cities after its Bloomington premiere. A New York state team of Belgian horses set anew world’s record for pulling power recently, by pulling 3,285 pounds.
