MEAT PACKING PLANT BURNS; $30,000 LOSS Frank Stumps, Member of Firm Severely Burned, Fighting Flames. FOUNDER BATTLES FIRE Three Generations Help in Effort to Save Building; to Be Rebuilt. Revere ourns were incurred early today by Frank Stumps, member of the meat packing firm of Stumps Bros., when the plant at 3225 South Meridian street was destroyed in a $30,000 Are. Part of the loss is covered by insurance. The business was founded on the present site forty-seven years ago by George Stumps, now 80, who only recently retired from the business, turning it over to his sons, Frank of the Meridian street address and Earl, 252 East Southern avenue. Three generations of the family aided two iire department pumping companies n fighting the flames— George Stumps, the two sons, and Louis, son of Frank, who is 18 today. Treated at Home Despite his injuries, Frank refused to go to a hospital and was treated at his home by Dr. Frank P. Reid, 1203 Madison avenue. Concern over his condition was expressed today, it being feared he inhaled fumes from burning grease. Shortly before 1 this morning, Frank Stumps went to one of the units of the plant to ascertain now the smoking of some jowls was progressing. He said he noticed an unusual amount of heat and endeavoring to find the cause, moved one rack of meat and was preparing to shift another when there was a puff of flame of explosive nature. Flaming grease covered him and he ran from the building to the family home adjoining. Firm’s Founder Fights Blaze The aged founder of the business was first to be aroused and was joined by his grandson Louis. Despite deep burns on his hands and arms, Frame aided them in removing five automobiles and trucks from a garage before the arrival of firemen. Members of the firm praised firemen for their efforts. Water was pumped from a small creek, there being no city supply. The plant had its own supply, but this was insuffixient. Fire spread to a barn on the property of Art Hawks, but was extinguished quickly. Aside from storage house filled with pickled meat, and a portion c. the garage, the plant was leveled by the flames. Roof of the storage house was destroyed. New Plant to Be Built Contents of the plant burned included five tons of lard, 300 pounds of wurst and 400 pounds of sausage. Ruined machinery includes a hog scraper, which cost $1,600, and which could clean a hog completely in one minute, and a $2,250 ice machine. Earl Stumps said today that a new p ant will be erected on the site following settlement of the insurance claim.

DRYS OPEN FIRE ON BEER BILL 3.2 Brew Intoxicating, Draft Is Unconstitutional, Dunford Argues. BY LYLE C. WILSON United Press Stiff Correspondent WASHINGTON. Jan. 7.—Edward B. Dunford, counsel for the AntiSaloon League, W. C. T. U. and other powerful dry organizations, today declared the Collier 3.2 per cent beer bill to be “squarely in conflict wit hthe eighteenth amendment and hence unconstitutional. Declaring the brunt of the dry argument in a scheduled six-hour hearing beforea senate judiciary subcommittee, Dunford, the first witness, staked his case on the contention that 3.2 per cent beer is intoxicating. Dunford was followed by an array of witnesses, including two women, who asserted the failure of the Collier bill to forbid sale of beer to minors would endanger the physical and moral welfare of 30,000,000 children. The women who presented this argument were Mrs. William T. Bannerman of the National Congress r' Parents and Teachers, and Mr-. Henry W. Peabody, chairman A the woman's national committee for law enforcement. Representative Beck (Rep., Pa.), noted as an authority on constitutional law, was to reply to Dunford's arguments for the wets. Privately, many wets express fear that the drys have the best of the constitutional argument and that the supreme court would set the beer bill aside. Dunford declared 3.2 per cent “is substantially the same as pre-pro-hibition beer, commonly known to be intoxicating.” Cited labortory tests made on medical students by Dr. Walter R. Miles of Yale, quoting Miles as having concluded that; “there longer is no room for doubt in reference to the toxic action of alcoholic beverages as weak as 2.75 per cent by weight. He pointed out that 3.2 per cent brew is 13 per cent stronger than that used by Miles in his experiments. Sew for Needy Red Cross Asks Aid of Thousands of Women in Campaign. ORGANIZATION of the largest sewing circle in Marion county's history is the aim of Indianapolis chapter, American Red Cross, as is starts a campaign today to enroll ;he volunteer services of thousands of women to make garments for needy children. More than 15,000 garments already are cu tand ready for delivery to workers. The Red Cross asks that women organize sewing units in churches, lodges, schools, clubs and private homes, so the work may be completed as soon as possible and needy families receive the benefit of clothing during the winter. The Times today is publishing, on Page 2, a coupon to be used in enrolling as a volunteer organizer of a sewing unit. Mrs. William H. Coleman, chairman of the volunteer sewing organization, with headquarters at 110 South Meridian street, reports that 163 sewing units already have been organized and that approximately 3.000 women now are working on garments in Marion county alone. “We feel that we should treble the number of workers at once,” Mrs. Coleman said. “We have made 11.000 garments and our workers completed 2,000 garments last week. It is our desire to reach a production of about 5.000 garments a week so the material for winter clothing now on hands may be placed in use as soon as possible.”. The Red Cross explains that it does not distribute clothing to needy families directly, but that the distribution is made through recognized relief agencies and public officials. i.

U. S. AGENTS DENY ROCKNE BOMB THEORY Paper Charges Plane Was Wrecked by Gang Plotters. PRIEST INTENDED VICTIM Effort to Kill Witness in Lingle Death, Is Blamed. By United Press SOUTH BEND. Ind., Jan. 7.—A startling explanation of the airplane disaster in which Knute Rockne met death—that a bomb intended for a witness in the famous Lingle case caused the fatal crash renew-ed speculation today in the Notre Dame football coach’s death. The explanation was contained in a copyrighted article in the NewsTimes which said it learned from “unimpeachable sources” that government operatives discovered evidence of such a blast. The story was met by denials of department of commerce aviation officials, department of justice executives and officials of Notre Dame university. Bomb Intended for Priest The News-Times said the bomb apparently was intended for the Rev. Father John Reynolds, C. S. C., a witness whose testimony aided in the conviction of Leo Brothers for slaying Alfred (Jake) Lingle, Chicago Tribune reporter. Reynolds, said the News-Times, had booked passage on the plane in which Rockne and seven others died March 31, 1931. At the last moment, said the paper, he changed his plans and went west by rail. He had testified four days before in the Brothers trial. Call Story Rediculous The Rev. Father Charles L. O. O'Donnell, president of Notre Dame, characterized the story as “ridiculous.” The Rev. Father M. A. Mulcaire, university vice president, said he had not been questioned by any government operative, and believed no other university priest has been questioned. Department of commerce officials at Kansas City who investigated the crash which occurred near Wichita, Kan., said they had found no evidence to indicate such a bomb plot. At Washington, D. C., department of justice operatives said they were making no inquiry. The News-Times article predicted denials by all concerned. DEATH PROBE PLOTCHJRGED Conspiracy to Obstruct Justice in Bandmaster Quiz Claimed. R;i United Press CHICAGO, Jan. 7.—Charges of conspiracy to obstruct justice today faced Carl Bradberry, one of the many witnesses whom police claim are hindering investigation of the strange slaying of Edwin O. Schildhauer, handsome bandmaster. The charge was piace against Bradberry, a former sheriff's deputy, by Police Captain John Stege. It was the first in the complicated inquiry into the private life of the musician and his wife. Arraignment of Bradberry was scheduled today. “There is great unwillingness,” said Stege, “on the part of all connected with Schildhauer to talk to us. We shall use every legal means of our command to find out facts.” Stege said witnesses had met questioning w'ith constant evasions and conflicting of testimony. Among those absent are Mrs. Schildhauer. attractive young widow of the bandmaster who was found slain Dec. 10 under circumstances suggesting a gang ride. Her absence forced a continuance of the coroners inquest.

UTILITY BOARD ISSUE/ACED Only Two Members Remain in Office, No Quorum Now Possible. First task of the Democratic state administration, which takes complete charge of state affairs on Monday, will be to do something about the public service commission. Four of the five member board, provided by law, only two will remain, and no quorum is possible. Those remaining are Republicans, Howell Ellis and Ralph Young. Those who resigned were Chairman John W. McCardle, a Republican, and Commissioners Jere West and Harry K. Cuthberston, Democrats. The latter resigned Dec. 1, while the other two left their office today. Cuthbertson announced that he would quit if Paul V. McNutt was elected Governor*. MeNytt pledged to changed the enftte commission personnel. So McCardle and West left before he had a chance to fire them. They were given a vote of praise for their services by the two remaining commissioners and Fred I. King, Republican secretary of the commision. This was in the form of a resolution adopted at the Friday conference. There final votes on orders were cast by McCardle and West. The commission approved the Northern Indiana Power Company plan to adjust rates, which they claim will save $42,000 annually to rural consumers in thirty counties. Five per cent of the consumers were increased. They made the emergency rates in the south system of the Public Service Company permanent. Both of these companies are of the old Insull outfit.

Mass Chinese Forces to Block Japanese Advance Widespread Movements of Troops Inside Great Wall Indicate Determined Stand Will Be Made. * By United Press CHANGCHUN, Manchuria, Jan. 7.—Clashes between Japanese and Chinese troops in Jehol province appeared imminent today as both armies continued to strengthen their positions in the vicinity of Shanhaikwan.

Troops of Marshal Chang HsuehLiang, young Chinese war lord charged with the defense of the area, occupied the towns of Ping Chuan, Lingyuan. Chienkouchen and Piechangyingttze, all in Jehol, today. From Pieping it was learned that volunteer troops under Chang Kueilin have been ordered to take up positions around Chiensuou, Suichung and Hsingcheng. Inside the great wall, Marshal Wang Shu-Chang was advancing his infantry and two artillery corps toward Shanhaikwan, where the clash earlier in the week resulted in the seizing of that city by Japanese. The widespread movement of Chinese troops in the region was interpreted as meaning the Chinese will make a determined stand against any effort by Japanese forces to advance into Jehol province. Rumors that the Japanese planned to capture Tientsin next persisted at Peiping despite denials issued at Japanese military headquarters here. Southwest of Shanhaikwan, Chinese troops were reported to be busily constructing fortifications and bringing artillery into position. Troops stationed there were substantially reinforced Friday. All Quiet, Says Japan By United Press PEIPING, Jan. 7. Japanese headquarters at Tientsin today reported all quiet in the Shanhaikwan sector, where Japanese troops occupied Chinese territory inside the great wall. Reports of an artillery duel Friday night and resumption of fighting today were denied both by Japanese and Chinese. SELLS-FLOTO CIRCUS NOT TOJOUR U. S, Famed Show Taken Off Road This Season. By United Press PERU, Ind., Jan. 7.—Only one of three circuses wintering at Peru will go on the road next summer. Latest to be withdrawn temporarily because of economic conditions is the Sells-Floto circus. The John Robinson show was taken off the road two years ago. Hagenback-Wallace will take up the trail early in the spring, however. Last season the show had a successful tour. It will be enlarged considerably. S. W. Gompertz, Sarasota, Fla., general manager of the Ringling Brothers circus, said during a visit here that only three railroad circuses would be on the road next summer. This is the smallest number in fifty-five years, he added.

PENNSYLVANIA FACES PROBLEM IN FARMCREDIT Report Gives New Insight Into Keystone State Conditions. By United Press HARRISBURG, Pa., Jan. Agricultural credit in rural Pennsylvania is in the most critical condition in fifty years, the state agriculture department reports. Agents of the department told of forced sales of farm real estate due to delinquent taxes, of forced sales due to nonpayment of mortgage obligations, of nonavailability of local money for refinancing mortgages, and of a rising trend in the number of farm foreclosures. Tax Problems Baffling The northern, western and central portions of the state are affected most madly. The section southeast of the mountain region is in the best shape. Two of every three rural communities reported perplexing problems arising from unpaid taxes. In some areas 50 to 70 per cent of the taxes were unpaid. In three of every four country communities farm property owners reported inability to meet mortgage payments. Leniency of tax collectors and mortgage holders in granting extensions has been “the only salvation of many of these financially burdened farmers,” the department said. Credit at Standstill Local credit machinery for farmers is at a standstill in the northern half and the southwestern quarter of the state. In the ether farming territories, less than 40 per cent of those queried reported refinancing money available. Eighty per cent of the sources questioned “were of the opinion the situation would be worse next spring,” the survey read.

Nation’s Notables Join Humble Citizens in Paying* Closing: Tribute to Former President at Northampton. HUNDREDS PASS BEFORE BIER Body of Rugged New Englander to Be Taken to Last Rest in Vermont Hills to Lie Near Father and Son. BY SIDNEY B. WHIPPLE United Press Staff Correspondent NORTHAMPTON, Mass., Jan. 7.—The nation’s leaders and Northampton’s humblest joined today in tribute to the memory of Calvin Coolidge, who had served them as President and as neighbor. One morning hour was allotted for the men and women of this Connecticut valley city to pass by the bronzed coffin in which lay the body of the thirtieth President. Soon thereafter, in bare ritual, the Rev. Alfred J. Tenner, a youth of the church, conducted a service in the presence of Calvin Coolidge’s successor, Herbert Hoover, and other representatives of international officialdom. And, finally, toward mid-afternoon in the Green mountains a hundred miles northward, were to be the rites dedicating to its final resting place, the man of New England who won the highest honor within the gift of his nation. Calvin Coolidge’s fellow-citizens, still stunned by the suddenness of his passing, needed no proclamation by Mayor Homer C. Bliss for them to close up their shops during the services and until noon. Such a proclamation was mere formality. Hours before the services began and long before the body was transferred from “The Beeches” to the church, crowds gathered in the streets, passing- beneath buildings draped in black, hurrying to be first among those who would pass by the bier for a final glance at one who was to all of them a familiar figure, to a few a familiar fnend. They had known Calvin Coolidge, not so much as chief executive as neighbor. Only Mrs. Coolidge, her son John, and his wife, and a few of the widow’s most intimate friends followed on to Plymouth after the services.

CLEAR TRIO IN STORESLAYING Police Fail in Effort to Identify Three Men as Killers. Detectives today failed in efforts to identify three suspects in the slaying of Chris C. Wade, 54, of 842 South Lyon avenue, who was shot Thursday night during a robbery attempt in the grocery of Otto Aldendorf, 650 South Lyon avenue. Those held are Raymond Jutt, 30, and George White, 34, both of 347 North East street, and Archie Lawson, 29, of 436 West Norwood street. Although apparently cleared of any connectio with the slaying, the three will be held as Jutt has made a statement, according to detectives, that he and White obtained a truck, shotguns and rifles on Dec. 30 in a burglary of the store of R. E. Harrell at Fichers Station, and sold the loot in Terre Haute. A statement credited to Lawson said he had planned to take part in the burglary, but failed to go because of “ a sore foot.” White has made no statement. Mr. Wade leaves two daughters, Darlene, 6, and Ruth Joan, 4; a brother, B. M. Wade, and three sisters, Mrs. Lillie Robbins, Oolitic, Ind.; Mrs. Elizabeth Block. Louisville, Ky., and Mrs. Laura Gilliott, Charlotte, N. C. Funeral services will be held at 10 Monday morning at the home of Robert Ramsey, 828 South Roena street. Burial will be in Floral Park cemetery.

At 8:30 a. m. when the doors of the church were opened, several hundred citizens had gathered. There was a marked absence of display. Main street had been closed to traffic. The former President's body had lain during the night before the fireplace in the warmly lighted living room, a portrait of Calvin Jr., who had died during the Coolidge administration, looking down upon the bronze casket from an opposite wall. His neighbors, passing before the bier at the church, found him almost lifelike in appearance. His face was placid. He appeared to be in deep slumber—at peace. Policemen Bear Casket There was but one striking ornament, a black intaglio ring on his left hand which had been placed across his breast. He was dressed in semi-formal attire with a wing collar, black cravat, a cutaway coat and striped trousers. At the left of the casket on a tall standard hung the American flag. At the right, balancing this only display of color, was the church flag, blue and white. Active pallbearers were six Northampton ploicemen led by Chief Bartholomew Brenahan. They were selected because of the difficulty of choosing only six pallbearers from among Mr. Coolidge’s many friends. Honorary bearers were Frank W. Stearns, intimate friend; William Whiting, secretary of commerce under Mr. Coolidge; Clifford Lyman, Superior Judge Thomas J. Hammond, Reuben B. Hills, Walter L. Stevens, Ralph W. Hemenway, William M. Butler, Mayor Homer C. Bliss, former Governor John H. Trumbull of Connecticut, and Treasurer Charles E. Andrews of Amherst college, a classmate of the former President. Nation’s Notables Attend Among the attendants at the simple services were these men and women: President and Mrs. Hoover, Lawrence Ritchie and Theodore Joslin, the President's secretries; Rudolph Forster of the White House staff; Vice-President Curtis, Secretary of State Stimson, Secretary of Commerce Chapin, Secretary of Navy Adams, Senator David Reed, Chief Justice Hughes, Dr. Joel T.
