MAYOR BATTLE PERILS PAY OF CITY WORKERS No Salaries on Saturday Is Prospect Faced by Anderson Employes. SUIT FILED BY MELLETT Ouster Is Demanded for Baldwin: Resignation Called Frameup. BY CHARLES F. CARLL Times Citv f.ditor ANDERSON, Ind.. April 14 —While this city's political leaders staged a pitched battle for three major jobs of the administration, the situation today brought alarm to scores of city employes, who feared the fight! would mean absence of pay en-, velopes Saturday. The question of pay for employes j of Anderson is overshadowing thej court suits and the charges that are being hurled. Mayor Harry R. Baldwin today | still holds his office on the second j floor of the city hall. From his home, several blocks distant, Jesse H. Mellett, former mayor, who is ill, continues his drive to regain the post which, he charges, was taken from him by fraud. No Tay for Mellett With alarm increasing over the j pay situation, Baldwin announced that the pay roll will be made up as it has been since he was elevated to the mayoralty by the council Jan. 3. This, how-ever, would not provide pay for Mellett; his daughter, Mrs. Margaret Cole, city controller, who Baldwin says is out of office; and John Rock.'president of the works board, on Mcllett s order. In that case, it was learned, representatives of Mellett have promised that "Hell will pop" Saturday morning when pay warrants are to be honored. "It seems a shame that innocent people may have to suffer, “Phillip O'Neill, attorney for Mellett, said "I hope they don't. I'd hate to see anything like this deprive the working men of their pay. The battle is between Mellett and Baldwin, not the others. Board to Have Two Heads The situation that has boiled here since Monday, when Mellett "ousted" Baldwin and laid claim to the job, stirred again today with appointment of a member of the works board by Baldwin. Edward Rauch, a Democrat, and owner of the Anderson New-s Company, was named to the works board post. He is expected to be elected president as a Baldwin man. In addition to the works board setup, Mrs. Cole retains her post in the controller’s office, w-hile J. J. Netterville, Baldwin's appointee, has provided a $40,000 bond and will be held accountable, by Baldwin, for the office administration. Mellett's challenge to Baldwin hit the high point Thursday afternoon with filing of a quo warranto suit in t circuit court demanding immediate ouster of Baldwin. The suit charges that Baldwin, on Jan. 3. prepared the Mellett resignation that was signed by Mrs. Cole. Threat Is Charged Mrs. Cole, O'Neill charges. w-as forced to sign her father's name after she had been warned that unless she acted "within ten minutes" the council would unseat her father in a declaration of vacancy. The suit alleges the resignation of Mellett was presented to the council without his knowledge or consent and that he had no intention of resigning. ft also alleges that Baldwin knew T Mellett had no intention of resigning and that Mellett had not authorized any action of this kind. The complaint further charged Baldwin with "appropriating the salary and office of mayor” and that "Baldwin still pretends to be mayor." Mrs. Cole admits signing her father's name to the resignation.

Target in Suit The fact that she signed the name and that the council vacated the office on the resignation, rather than in a mandatory declaration, will be ! the target for Mellett's attorneys in I the court, suit. Mellett has appeared at the city hall daily since he filed his claim for office. A wheel chair in which he sits stands day and night in the controller's office. At home, Mellett is surrounded by j his family, including his first wife.' Mary Mellett. He sits in an arm chair by the window until time to go to the city hall. Mellett asserts that he did not know’ he had been succeeded as mayor until April 5. His family says every effort was made to keep newspapers and information from (Turn to Page Twenty) Times Index Page Births and Deaths 26 Book Nook 25 Bridge 26 Classified : 26-27-28 Comics 29 Crossword Puzzle 25 Curious World 26 Dietz on Science 25 Editorial 18 Financial 25 Hickman.

MINIMUM PAY LAW FAVORED BY ROOSEVELT Plan, With Shorter Work Week, Likely as Major Part of Program. LABOR PRESENTS VIEWS Huge Public Works Program Is Proposed in Parley With President. BY' RUTH FINNEY Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, April 14.—Legislation establishing a minimum wage for w-orkers, together w-ith a short work week, probably will be recommended to congress as a major part of President Roosevelt’s emergency program. Representatives of American labor urged such a course, coupled with public works on a large scale, in a conference with the President Thursday. They w-ere accompanied by Labor Secretary Perkins, w-ho said later that she believes minimum w-age provisions feasibly can be incorporated in the short w-ork week bill now pending in congress. Business and congressional support of the plan also is increasing. Urge Public Works Program A great public works program launched immediately, was urged upon the President, “to save American industry from further destruction by the uncontrolled forces of the depression, and to put in motion powerful forces of recovery along tw-o lines of legislative action.” Secretary Perkins, for President Roosevelt, is suggesting amendments to make the short work w-eek bill more elastic and more enforceable. The minimum w-age plan is thought to be included in these amendments, although formal announcement w-aits action by the house labor committee, probably next week. Members of the committee who favor minimum wages as part of the plan for increasing worker-purchas-ing-pow-er have expressed enthusiasm for the Perkins plan. Present Plan to President At the White House Thursday, in addition to Secretary Perkins, were Sidney Hillman, representing the Amalgamated Clothing Workers; C. D. Robertson of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Firemen; Rose Schneiderman, of the National Women's Trade Union League; Donald Richberg, counsel for the Railw-av Labor Executives’ Association; 'William Green and Frank Morrison, president and secretary of the American Federation of Labor, and M. J. McDonough, representing the building trades. This group, representing a conference held at the labor department last week, was called together by Secretary Perkins. A plan for establishment of labor boards in various industries to regulate minimum w-ages and hours of labor was proposed to the President. The American Federation of Labor, Mr. Green said later, thinks that minimum wage boards “should be established for the textile industries and needle trades and other industries. where labor is not organized to protect itself," but w’ants to be free to use collective bargaining to obtain increased wages when business improves, in organized industries. Gets Powerful Support Additional powerful support for minimum wage legislation came today from Governor Ely of Massachusetts, w-ho. w-ith Henry P. Kendall, owner of large textile factories in New- England, and William G. Batty, representing the United Textile Workers, called on President Roosevelt and Secretary Perkins, urging federal action to establish minimum wages and the short work week and to ban night work. A statement issued jointly by Robertson, Richberg, Hillman and Miss Schneiderman set forth the two parts of the plan presented to I the President. The first called for an immediate i six billion-dollar public works pro- ! gram; the second for the short work week and minimum wage, both as applied to public w-orks and to pri- ' vate industry.

BEER buying has dropped off sharply in local hotels and restaurants since the first shipment of the new 3.2 was welcomed a week ago today. A survey of the downtown eating places today showed a decline from 20 to 25 per cent recently in purchases by the public. Restaurants attributed the slump to the weather, the price.

The 1931 session cost $159,373 and the special session in 1932 cost $98,912. Os the total this year the house spent $86,065 and the senate $54,614.

Monninger's, Weiss', the Budweiser bar, and other places patronized, for the most part, by men have noticed a similar drop. They all are optimistic, however. and expect anew rush of business with return of warm weather. At the Ciaypool Grill, Marr Hoffman, manager, while admitting that beer sales have fallen off. said the new brew has helped the sale of food so materially that he will put on extra help. Despite a 40 per cent drop in beer sales over the first day, the Terminal restaurant looks for a big play on beer in the summer months.

High-Necked 20 Inches of Brass Ring Push Chins Up From Shoulders.

By United Press NEW YORK, April 14.—Looking like human giraffes, five one-time residents of upper Burma arrived today on the Bremen to display their twenty-inch necks to circus audiences. Consigned, with sixty pounds of copper ringlets around their necks—one ring added each year similar to the occidental add-a-pearl custom —to the Barnum and Bailey shows. Maung Da, Mu Kaun, Mu Prau, Mu Ba and Maung Suri attracted more attention when they landed than his excellency Dr. Hans Luther, the German ambassador. The chief happiness accorded these humans, from the small boy standpoint, is that they never wash their necks. The copper ringlets, w-hich little by little extend their spinal columns, prevents bathing. Maung Sur, the only gentleman of the party, and its official inter-, pretor since he know-s fifteen words of English which he studied all the way across the Atlantic, ranged the women before the moving cameras, and said: "How you like America?" "Przchmgrow-ow-,” the ladies chorured. Maung Sur turned to the microphone and exultantly explained, “I asked them how they like America. They say—.” At this point, the Bremen’s whistle said "bla-a-a-a —a!" drow-ning out what the Burmese actually thought of the skyline.

Court Hearing Starts in Arizona: Slayer's Nerves at Breaking Point. TWO VERDICTS POSSIBLE Blonde Hoosier Woman Will Go to Asylum If She Is Found Demented. BY GALE D. WALLACE, I'nitcd Press Staff Correspondent COURTROOM. FLORENCE, Ariz., April 13.—The eighteen-month-fight of Winnie Ruth Judd, condemned murderess, to escape the gallows entered its final phase today, as her attorneys launched an attempt to have her declared insane. It is illegal in Arizona to hang the demented. Pale and wan, the condemned woman looked on nervously as O V. Willson of the defense counsel, and state's attorneys began selecting the jury to determine her mental state. The weather was hot and the prisoner wore a white summer dress tnmmed in green. She wore no hat. Doom Is Near Mrs. Judd is scheduled to be hanged a week from today for the murder of Mrs. Agnes Ann Leroi, a fellow- nurse, unless the jury at the sanity hearing saves her. Mrs. Leroi and Hedvig Samuelson, another nurse, were shot to death in the Judd cottage at Phoenix in a quarrel over J. J. Halloran, wealthy lumberman. The hearing was requested by A. G. Walker, warden of Florence prison, who said Mrs. Judd was losing her mind through fear of impending death. It was her last hope, since the state courts and the board of pardons and paroles denied her clemency. Two Rulings Possible Two verdicts were possible by the jury being selected from the twenty-tw-o middle-aged ranchers, storekeepers, and miners draw-n on the panel. If it finds her sane, she must hang. If it declares her insane, she would be sent to a state asylum for life, or until such time as she might become sane. A return to sanity automatically would reinstate the death penalty. As questioning of prospective jurors began Mrs. Judd became tense. Her face w-as draw-n. She w-ound a handkerchief around her left hand—the hand she claimed was shot in a struggle with her victims for possession of the gun that killed them. The state contended she wounded herself to bolster claims of selfdefense. Insanity Was Her Plea Mrs. Judd pleaded insanity at her original trial and defense alienists cited her handkerchief-w-rap-ping habit as an indication of insanity. Mrs. Judd became hysterical when she w-as taken from her cell today, Warden Walker said. She learned that official blackbordered invitations had been issued for her hanging and screamed that she "never would hang ” he said. H. G. Richardson of defense counsel, w-ho w-as present, said matrons had great difficulty in calming her. Invitations to hangings are issued as a formality. Seated in the court room, presided over by Judge E. L. Green, Mrs. Judd found the restraining arm of Chief Matron Ella Heath around her. She w-hispered nervously to the matron. Parents Are Witnesses Among the witnesses w-ere Mrs. Judd's aged parents, the Rev. and Mrs. H. J. McKinnell. They came to Arizona from Indiana after they learned of their daughter’s arrest and have fought continuously for her life. McKinnell. a retired Free Methodist pastor, said it was a sad Good Friday for his family. "At the same time," he said, “she was to have been executed today. I guess we should be thankful for the extra week and this last chance to save her.” She was to have been hanged today, but the board of pardons and parole ordered a week's delay in deference to the day. Also present in court was Mrs. Judd's husband, Dr. William C. Judd. The blond nurse married Dr. Judd nine years ago today. The first hour of the hearing was devoted to a fight between Mrs. Judd’s counsel and county attorney Will Truman over the method of selecting the jury.
