BANDITS SLAY POLICEMAN AND MAKE ESCAPE Sergeant Lester Jones Is * Killed in Holdup of Bus Garage. (Continued from Page One) ammunition. The armorv. believed comprised of weapons stolen from the Franklin, O. police headquarters recently, included a sawed-off Winchester rifle, a Winchester pump pun, two fully loaded Springfield '3O-06 riflles and a '3O-30 repeating rifle, and an automatic rifle. Six Boxes of Ammunition The ammunition included six boxes, each containing fifty auto-! matic rifle cartridges, 100 cartridges, for the Springfield rifles, a clip of machine gun cartridges and cartridges of the repeating rifle. An automatic rifle which was ■ jammed was found shortly after the murder at Twenty-first street and the Nickel Plate railroad by rail-' road detectives. City officers found the trail of two of the gunmen in an alley in the rear of Nineteenth and Bellcfontaine streets, where they also found a rifle cartridge. | One of the bandit.s apparently fled from this point through a vacant lot and the other through a residence yard. Both Indianapolis radio stations were broadcasting descriptions of the bandits every few minutes. The stolen bandit car was the | property of Emlie Moores, county I auditor at Dayton. O. This car was I stolen from the Ohio city Jan. 19. Stolen Indiana 1933 license plates were on the machine. They had been issued in the last two weeks for a Buick, the property of a Brookyille, Ind , resident. Inside the auto was a set of Ohio plates, changed expertly. Originally carrying the numbers E 36-335, the numbers W'ere altered to read; EB6-835. The change was detected by Morrissey under strong lights. A set of Illinois plates for this j year that, records in Springfield, 111., j show, had not been sold either at the statehouse or through license branches, also was in the car, bearing the numbers 964-894. Operated in Three States Police believe that the gang may have been operating in the three states. Sergeant Jones was carried from j the garage to a nearby restaurant j and was dead when Dr. John Salb. deputy coroner, arrived at the scene, ! Salb immediately opened his investigation of the shooting along with j police. Sergeant Jones had been a mem- j her of the police force since Nov. j 26. 1913. He held various posts, including one as inspector of traffic j in 1926, and later was captain of j traffic. He was named a sergeant; Jan. 6, 1930. He was born in 1881. : In thp dairy company robbery, the j gunmen held back a dozen employes! while they looted the safe and cashier’s cage of $2,000. They first I warned the employes not "to start | anything.” Funds Given Bandits The bandit with the machine gun j look his place at the head of the j stairs, while another walked into the office of Arthur P. Holt, plant j manager. With a revolver trained on Holt, | ,the bandit said: “You'd better get busy or wee'll fill j you all full of lead. - ’ “Show' them where the money is.” Holt told Robert Hedrick, cashier. Hedrick opened the unlocked safe j and turned over the funds. Henry L. Myers, office manager. j was slapped by one of the gunmen j when he walked into the office, not j knowing the crime was in progress. | Young women employed at the company were treated with courtesy, “Here, you, get some chairs for these girls to sit on,” one bandit ordered men employes. “Don’t worry and nothing will happen.” Apparently familiar with the layout of the plant, the bandits had driven their car into the driveway while the holdup was staged. One of the gang remained at the wheel. EX-SCHOOL TEACHER IS TAKEN BY DEATH Funeral for Miss Jean Coulter Skillen to Be Held Wednesday.

Buddy Waits in Vain for * Return of His Master

“Buddy” waiting for Jiis master to take him on another “bye-bye” ride.

Pet Has Taken His Last Ride: His Pal Is Victim of Gang Murderers. ‘‘Buddy" took his last “bye-bye” ride Monday night. And the one w j ho knew him best, the one for whom “Buddy” runs to windows at every door knock, went on his last “ride,” too. He went like he’d hoped to go—- “ Quick! If they ever get me, that's the way I want to go.” And it is thus that Mrs. Goldie M. Jones, of 517 North Riley avenue, relates in her home today of the “good-by” of her husband, Sergeant Lester E. Jones, before he went to his job and his death. While she tokl of how Sergeant Jones was fond of dogs and how “Buddy,” his bulldog, was the last of the family to ride with him, the dog scampered around the room, ncsel at strangers, jumped upon them, as if seeking news from his "pal.” He hadn’t come home from work. “Buddy” barked questions at visitors. “You've taken your last bye-bye ride with him, Buddy,” said Mrs. Jones, as she smoothed the hair of the dog's head ar.d patted him. “Always, every night before he went to work, he'd take Buddy for a ride in the car. Last night it was sleeting and slick outside, and as he started to go, he turned to Buddy and said: 'You've got to take your bye-bye ride now.’ He took the dog I out to the car and drove around the j block. It was a nightly rite with him. They came back shortly and 1 he said: ‘Now are you satisfied?’) Then he told me good-bye. It was the last we saw of him,” she said. “Buddy” seemed to be listening to her words. He dashed to the window at the approach of a car. He looked longingly, and then dashed back to the side of the sergeant’s window. “He always liked dogs and children. He was in charge of the dog pound for a long time. It all seems so awful, so unbelievable. Those men that shot him should be hanged. I'd almost be willing to do it myself,” said the widow. “But he always told me that if his

TOBIN IS SILENT ON CABINET CHANCES Declines to Say If He Will Accept Position. Daniel J. Tobin, Indianapolis labor executive, considered as an appointee to the post of secretary of labor in the cabinet of PresidentElect Franklin D. Roosevelt, today declined to say he would accept the post if it is tendered him. A trip to Miami, Fla., next week will not be in promotion of his candidacy, Tobin declared, but will be in interest of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, Chauffeurs, Stablemen and Helpers Union. Tobin, president of the union, has received indorsement of the American Federation of Labor for the cabinet post. He is the only leader of organized labor who has this support. Leaving Indianapolis tonight for New York to attend a dinner Wednesday night for Mrs. Roosevelt, as “first lady of the land,” Tobin said he would return to Indianapolis and leave Sunday for Miami.

THE INDIANA POLIS TIMES

PRIMARY DEATH MAY HALT WAR FOR MAYORALTY Bill May Be Rushed Into Legislature to Prevent Democratic Fight. BY DANIEL M. KIDNEY Primary law repeal, to prevent a Democratic fight for the Indianapolis mayoralty nomination, may be asked in a bill being drafted for presentation to the legislature, it was learned today. Under the measure, the selection of all candidates will be in the hands of the party organization. Details have not been disclosed and pressure is being brought to bear to keep the measure from becoming effective at the May municipal primaries this year. Advocates of the measure will push it to passage on the grounds of “economy,” pointing out that it costs thousands of dollars to hold primary elections throughout the state. Law Gradually Tom Down Bit by bit the primary law has been repealed by recent legislative sessions, until little remains but municipal offices, party precinct committeemen. and members of congress from the eleven districts. The primary repeal bill would abolish what is Toft and put all nominations in the hands of the parties. “Party responsibility” also will be used as a talking point for the bill's passage. Should primary repeal pass with an emergency clause, making it effective immediately, it will serve to checkmate what promises to be a real battle here. Significance was attached to the fact that the bill, talk of which had languished, took on life following announcement that Sheriff Charles (Buck) Sumner probably will be a candidate for mayor. Sumner Has Good Chance With several others in the race, political observers have pointed out that the sheriff stands a good chance to win. He has built up an effective personal political organization in Marion county, it was said. Representative Fred Galloway and Thomas Markey, attorney, also have announced for the Democratic nomination and others mentioned include Judge Thomas Garvin of municipal court and E. Kirk McKinney, chairman of the works board. Abolition of the primary might cause all factions to cease firing and settle on a candidate, backed by the full party power, it was asserted. Another primary bill, pending in he senate, moves the election to September, giving but a month’s time between primary and election.

House Advances Old-Age Bill to Second Reading

Amended Measure Slices Maximum Payments, ‘lncreases Limit. With amendments suggested by its judiciary B committee, the house of representatives today advanced to second reading a bill to establish an old age pension system in Indiana. The original bill, introduced by Representative William J. Black (Dem., Anderson), set $25 a month as the maximum pension and 65 as the starting age. The amendments make the starting age 70. and the maximum pension, sls. No change was made in a provision which makes application of the pension play mandatory upon counties. The Fraternal Order of Eagles, one of the leading advocates of pensioning the aged, thus far is victorious in its efforts to prevent an optional plan. Proposals for teacher-tenure law repeal and a two-year moratorium on real estate foreclosures were among the most important of the seventeen new bills introduced in the house. Administration leaders have reversed their tactics on the controversial beer control bill, abandoning the idea of a legislative recess, and have decided to send the measure back to second reading in the house. With the constitutionality of the beer bill questioned, it had been planned to recess the legislature, see what congress docs on beer, and then resume the session to enact a state liquor control act. A recess not only would have avoided the constitutionality conflict on beer, but aiso would have given Hoosier Democrats a chance to attend the Roosevelt inauguration March 4 at Washington. Governor Paul V. McNutt and his advisors are reported to have received a divided opinion from constitutional law experts as to whether Indiana can enact legislation

Watson Is Reported Active in Fight to Oust Morgan

G. 0. P. State Committee in Session Today at Claypool. Active part in the fight to oust Ivan C. Morgan from the state chairmanship of the Republican party was taken Monday night by Senator James E. Watson in long distance telephone communications with committee members and issuance of the edict that "Morgan must go." it was reported today. Members of the committee were to meet at 1 this afternoon in the Claypool. Reports were current that a majority of the group favors ousting of Morgan. Entrance of W T atson into an active eleventh-hour campaign against Morgan was seen as an indication that the .defeated Republican senator is loath to relinquish his hold on the state organization and seeks to become its real, if not nominal head, through selection of a state chairman more satisfactory to him than Morgan. Leaders in the fight to oust Mor-

$75 Headache Is Black Blue? He Is! Money Cache Blown to Bits by Bandits.

E. S. Black and the box that gave him a 575 headache. ES. BLACK, 3938 North Ta- . ccma avenue, day foreman at the Peoples Motor Coach Company, has a $75 headache today that he didn’t have Monday. It’s a headache that tablets can’t assuage. Black had been saving a little sum of money for summer vacation. He kept the $75 in a headache tablet box inside the coach company's safe. The bandits who held up the company and killed Sergeant Lester Jones early today, used shotguns to break open money drawers. When Black looked for his $75 cache today the room turned almost the color of his name. The saving hand been shredded to bits by the shotgun pellets. Injuries in Fall Fatal Albert Stiner, 47, of 315 North Senate avenue, who suffered a fractured hip and other injuries last Wednesday in a fall from a hay mow' at 426 West Pearl street, died Monday in city hospital. Coroner William E. Arbuckle plans to investigate.

I anticipatory of congressional action. Plans now call for reporting the bill out of the public morals committee with amendments to aid the home brewers. One amendment designed to aid the home brewers would prohibit manufacture of beer “for sale” except by licensed breweries. Another amendment would reduce the malt tax from 40 cents a pound to 2 cents. Included among other bills advanced to second reading in the i house today included the adminis- ! tration measure to facilitate municipal ownership of public utilities; to J end tax exemption of Barrett law bonds, and to make interference ; with transportation of farm prod- | ucts a felony. Bills indefinitely postponed today j in the house on committee reports j included a free school text-book measure. Only one member, Repre- | sentative Fred S. Galloway (Dem., ! Indianapolis), spoke in favor of the j bill. Bill to create a state chiropratic examining and licensing board also was postponed indefinitely. The j same fate was met by a" bill dej signed to change drastically the ! criminal court procedure of Indiana, | including a ten-juror verdict instead jof an unanimous one of twelve. Other new legislation included j bills to make cities of 10,000 pop- | ulation fifth class cities; revamp | the law governing primary election j recounts; provide fines for private ; use of state-owned autos; assess j $2 additional costs in city courts for i a special judge fund, and grant j | county commissioners power to dis- ; miss for any cause they see fit, any ; employe hired by them. I A request bill would appropriate S3OO for relief of David Nelscn. Lake I county, falsely imprisoned seven years on perjured testimony. Speaker Earl Crawford, ill with tonsilities, was absent from the | speaker's rostrum, today and his place was filled by Representative j Edward H. Stein (Dem., Bloomfield) i majority floor leader. Crawford was ! j improved today and was expected to return to the house Wednesday

gan was expected to be John Scott of Gary, First district chairman, who seeks to name Don B. Irwin of Frankfort, Fifth district chairman, to head the state organization. ; Certainty of a stiff battle was promised when Morgan declared on Monday night in a formal statement ! that he would not resign, and pointed to his record in heading the organization at a time when “the party was facing a losing campaign, disorganized and without money with which to pursue it.” “I will resist every attempt of the part of any selfish group in the Republican party to oust me from ; the position.” Morgan asserted. “I became state chairman at the behest of Senator Watson. I have given my time to the party at a sacrifice, and I ma’ntain that the record of the last .mpaign is one of which Indiar an be proud.” If you lose ie article of value, Don't Delay.

MUSIC DEAN'S WIFE SET FREE BY KIDNAPERS 65*Year-old Woman Safe After 24 Hours in Captives’ Hands. Bjl United Prrs* LOS ANGELES. Feb. 7.—With Mrs. Mary B. Skeele safe home after twenty-four hours in the hands of kidnapers, Los Angeles police today sought four men and a woman as her abductors. Lured into an automobile by a fake accident call, and held under threat of death for SIO,OOO ransom, the wife of Dr. Walter Skeele, dean of music at the University of Southern California, was set free, without explanation near her home Monday night. No ransom was p|id, Dr. Skeele said, and detectives were at loss to understand the sudden decision of the kidnapers to release their victim. Sent at once to bed to recuperate, the slight, gray-haired, 65-year-old woman was able to give only the sketchiest description of the gang which abducted her Sunday night, after she had received a telephone call saying that her husband had been injured in a traffic accident.

HELP TO BIG DEBTORS ONLY TO BE ASKED Relief for Railroads and Corporations, but None for Farmer. Is Aim. B\ RUTH FINNEY Times Sl.ig Writer WASHINGTON, Fob. 7.—An attempt to provide relief for debtor railroads and corporations, without extending benefits to mortgaged farmers and other individuals may be made in the closing days of the session. Such a plan is being urged by senate conservatives, who do not like the McKeovn -La Guardia bankruptcy bill as it passed the house nor the liberalizing amendments being proposed in the senate. Conservatives object particularly to provisions in the bill making it possible for mortgage-holders to be bound, in a debt-scaling action, by a majority of unsecured creditors, and to be required to extend their leans by action of a federal judge. In spite of general agreement in congress that receiverships for railreads and other large corporations should be forestalled if possible, a strong group of westerners and southerners will object to any action which docs not benefit farmers, and can prevent passage of any legislation at this congress.
