STAGE WRECK AT CROSSING IN MURDER PLOT Kidnapers Fail in Effort to Put Surgeon to Death. (Continued From Page One) naped heir of the O Connell political pmpire, is expected within twenty-four hours, the United Press learned today from well informed sources. A communication from the kidnapers received during the night acrpp’ed one of the intermediaries nominated by the family. Ransom of between $50,000 and $75,000 in bank notes of small denominations was ready to be paid over to the abductors. Intermediary Is Accepted The kidnapers accepted either Paul Carroll or Dave Hotailing as intermediary, it was understood. Both are well knov.n in Albany sporting circles. Edward I. and Daniel P. O’Connell, uncles of the kidnaped 24-year-old national guard officer and brewery executive, and bosses of one of the most powerful political machines in America, preserved the greatest secrecy, fearing a last minute hitch might break off the negotiations, and endanger the youth’s life. The youth’s father, a prize fight promoter and a subordinate leader in th O'Connell machine, and his two brothers went to bed for the first, time Tuesday night since Friday. Ransom Believed Motive All possibility of any other motive than ransom having motivated the kidnapers definitely was believed ended. Some had believed the kidnapers might be seeking revenge on the O'Connells, whose political power extends even into the underworld It was suggested that Albany racketeers, deprived of revenue by legal beer, were seeking to force the O'Connells to cut them in on the legitimate beer business. The elder O'Connells are stockholders in the brewery of which the younger man is an executive. Ask Banker to Halt Hunt By I nitct/ l'rc*n ALTON. 111., July 12.—More than 200 county and state officers searching for the kidnapers of August Luer, 77-year-old retired capitalist, today were asked by his son, Carl Luer, to withdraw from the case. Luer was abducted from his home Monday evening and since then no word has come from him or his abductors, police and Carl Luer, spokesman for the family, said, despite the latter's plea to the kidnapers to make their ransom demands known. Alton’s chief of police, James Hart, said following Liter’s plea to

•'clear the field of police” that he would ‘‘talk the matter over" with Sheriff Peter Fitzgerald and Mayor T. W. Butler before announcing whether police would be withdrawn. The request was made after Luer returned from a mysterious trip alone early today. Luer said he drove “north, just looking around,” but an attendant at a bridge across the Mississippi river was sure he recognized young Luer in an automobile that drove south into Missouri. Luer issued a seeond appeal to the kidnapers of his father today to get in touch with him immediately. His father, he said, has been ill for several months, and he fears the strain of imprisonment might result seriously. SHERIFF IS JUDGE IN UNIQUE CASE New Form of Court Procedure Settles Damage Suit. /*_>. f ti i/rd Prrst WILLIAMSPORT. Pa., July 12. Anew form of court procedure for this section —one in which a sheriff served as judge—has just been written into the records of Lycoming county. The case involved the fixing of damages by a jury, as the result of an automobile accident more than a year ago. Harry E. Webb, defendant in the suit, defaulted by failing to make an appearance when the action was brought by Paul L. Kitchen. The court, finding that Kitchen should recover his damages, but recognizing that the amount of damages was unknown, ordered Sheriff Clayton E. Mitstifer to conduct an inquisition into the case to determine the amount of damages and costs due Kitchen. The sheriff proceeded to select twelve jurors and conducted the inquisition. serving as judga. One of his deputies acted as sheriff and the county solicitor sat in the capacity of prothonotary. Kitchen was awarded $416.25 damages. CHILD ACCIDENTS IN HOME ON DECREASE Insurance Survey Also Shows Adult Fatalities Increase. NEW YORK, July 12.—The number of fatal accidents in the home has increased for adults but decreased for children during recent years, the Metropolitan Insurance Company finds. Part of this increase may be due ■to the depression which has forced large numbers of persons to remain at home who would be employed otherwise away from home a large part of each day, officials of the company point out in a report on home accidents. “The increasing hazard in the home appears to be due entirely to the greater number of fatal accidents involving falls,'* the report states. “Each year since 1924 ha- shown an increasing number of accidents of this type.'* Degree Work Is Slated Indianapolis chapter, No. 5, Royal Arch Masons, will confer the master degree on a large class of candidates Friday at 6 in the Masonic temple, North and Illinois streets.

TRUTH X

IT WAS PREDICTED that the overwhelming rush for beer which the nation experienced early in April would let up v as soon as the novelty had worn off. We ourselves expected that to happen. But instead, the demand for Bergboff has grown —by leaps' and bounds day after day until it has far outdistanced our ability to supply. It is obvious that more and more of the general beer demand is being concentrated in a call for Berghoffi The public has developed a real preference for this brand. And from all sides we are asked, "How did you manage to hit the public taste so accurately ? ** The truth is, tie didn't "manage.” No effort was made to blend a brew to satisfy any preconceived idea of popular taste. We had our formula —a secret blend brought to

LABOR TO FORM UNDERNEW ACT Indiana Leaders Will Meet to Map Recovery Program. Efforts to have Senator Frederick | Van Nuys deliver the principal address will be made by the Indiana State Federation of Labor for the i first mass meeting called to organj ize Indiana labor for its part in suc- | cess of the national recovery act. Adolph Fritz, secretary of the | state federation, said date for the i meeting tentatively has been set for next Wednesday night at TomI iinson hall. An invitation will be sent to Mrs. 1 Virginia Jenckes, Indiana’s congresswoman, who is a champion of organized labor. Other speakers ! on the program include John Manning, union label secretary' of the national labor federation; George L. Berry, president of the pressmen’s union, and Harvey Brown, vicepresident of the machinists’ union. Similar organization meetings are to be held in other sections of the state under auspices of the state federation, Fritz said.

SPEED PLANS FOR 35-HOUR WEEHRDER Action Certain Despite Gain in Submission of Codes by Industry. (Continued From Page One)

administration faces its first struggle with the ptoblem of production quotas within an industry, price- ; fixing and foreign competition. The code submitted creates an; emergency national committee, com- ] posed of lumber men and members of the recovery administration, j to fix production quotas for divi- j sions of the lumber and timber i products industries and also to fix minimum prices. This last power would extend to ! prices fixed for domestic sale of foreign products, and the code provides that imported lumber shall not sell for less than domestic lumber. Wage and hour schedules submitted by the lumber men will not be accepted, Administrator Johnson has indicated, though a decision will not be reached until the lumber- j men’s case has been heard. The proposed code calls for a forty-eight-hour week' in most of the divisions of the industry and in no case less than forty hours. With this long work week goes a minimum wage of 22 1 3 cents an hour or SIO.BO a week, scaling up to $20.40 in west coast logging camps. The proposed code also makes liberal exceptions from the forty-eight-hour work week for “nature of the work,” “emergency” and “seasonal employment.” While the code declares for conservation and sustained production of forest resources, it promises cooperation only if public agencies assume ‘substantial obligations” for this work, and only if there is “prompt change of systems of local taxation of forest property.” Like the cotton textile code, that for lumber proposes abolition of child labor under 16 years. Hearings on the lumber code will begin July 20. Steel code hearings may get under -way a day sooner and continue simultaneously.

It is the same formula by which we brewed years ago for those who insisted on a "full bodied” old world beer —and who were willing to pay the extra cost involved in brewing it. The public today has tried this beer—and likes it. What was once a brew enjoyed by a discriminating class is now a favorite of discriminating millions. We feel, therefore, the popular taste that exists for this distinctive flavor and "body** is not a taste that Berghoff met —but one that Berghoff created. • • • O *£)erghoff —a Dortmunder style beer —is brewed by the old Munich process.. .When you order a case for your home, specify your choice Pale or Dark.

‘Follies’ Director Finds Talent of Ability Here

Second Rehearsal Brings Out Large Cast for Granada Show. “With these girls, I could reduce the time required for production of a revue to a minimum. They're talented. They’re sincere. They're intelligent. They know how to take orders and they are alert.’’ This was the comment of Jeff Creager. Broadway director, following the second rehearsal at Hotel Severin Tuesday night for “The Indianapolis Follies of 1933,” which is to open its three-day run next Sunday at the Granada theater. Creager started nearly fifty Indianapolis girls on their first routine dance numbers for the revue, which will include upward of 100 girls and boys. Girls Act Like Veterans Throughout the rehearsals, the girls appeared like regular troupers. First, an explanation by Creager, an example of the steps or routines to be rehearsed, and in an unbelievably short time they were going through the intricate steps and routines in a smooth manner. Already the show :s beginning to smack of the professional, as the shyness and timidity of the various performers fades under the direction of Creager. The veteran producer declares that he can have his dancers doing their stuff like old-timers within a few days of training, and if Tuesday night’s rehearsal is any criterion, he can do it quicker than that. Mothers Are Invited Creager invites mothers and chaperones* to accompany those who are participating in the revue. He made it clear, however, that bystands or outsiders who have nothing to do with those in the show, will be barred. In addition to the stage show, a feature picture is to be shown at the Granada, but there will be nc advance in prices. Another rehearsal is scheduled for tonight at the Hotel Severin at 7 o'clock. Those who have witnessed the various stages through which mem-

bers of a revue pass during rehearsals commented on the rapidity with which those who will take part in the Indianapolis Follies’’ have progressed.
