July 21 Roger Touhv. desperate little gang leader who robbed the old Capone mob of much of it* power, was held under strons? guard with three of his henchmen today, accused of the kidnaping of John <Jake the Barber* Factor here, and of William Hamm Jr in St Paul Three machine gun squads of Chicago police went to Elkhorn. Wi where the gangsters were cap*ured by an unarmed policeman, to return them to Chicago. Fearing a repetition of the recent Kansas City Union st3tnn massacre, in which five men were killed in an attempt to free a prisoner twenty patrolmen and federal officers brought Touhy and his men to Chicago.

( heck < urrencjr Numt*ers The serial numbers of 51.730 in $lO and S2O bills found on the men taken, to be checked with numbers of SSO 000 in bills of the same denomination paid for Factor's release. Police Chi i Thomas DahiU of St. Paul was expected here today to question tin* men regarding the Hamm kidnaping. Hamm, a wealthy brewer, was held captive until payment of ransom near Lake Geneva, twenty mil -s south of Elkhorn. Factor was held captive in the same territory, it was believed. Federal agents said that charges of kidnaping Factor would be filed against th* men immediately. Chiet DahiU also said he would file charges.

Relieved Major Capture Patrolmen Harold Ward, who was off duty, captured the men after Touhy, driving an automobile in which the suspects were riding, struck a telephone pole. In the car police found seven pistols, a rifle, a golf bag filled with ammunition, and a supply of gauze adhesive ta(M* and a rope other members of the “Terrible Touhv" gang taken with their leafier were Gustave 'Gloomy Gusi Shafer, 36 St. Paul; Willie Sharkey. 37 sought for the murder of a Capone gangster last year, and Eddie 'Father Torn* McFadd'ui. accused of acting as negotiator in kidnapmgs. A fifth member of the gang escaped. Touhy s arrest was hailed as a major step in efforts to smash midwestern kidnapings. CENT AND HALF TO BE ADDED TO TAX LEVY Voters' Registration I.aw to Cost About $103,000, Says Ralston. Approximately a cent and a half will be added to the 1934 Marion county tax levy to pay the cost of establishing machinery for carrying out the new permanent voters' registration law. County Cl.'rk Glenn B Ralston estimated today. First cost of the registrition and equipment is estimated by Ralston at $103,724, which on th*> current $65,000 for onc-ccnt ratio gives the probable addition to the levy. Ralston’s estimate will be submitted to the council with request for an appropriation. The estimated cost is based on figures obtained by a committee which visited Cincinnati early this week Cincinnati registered 250 000 voters at a cost of 5195.305.5 C. Ralston said.

Something had to be done, and at once. Captain St. James had fought many battles and he realized that he had another on his hands, a battle that was different from any he had ever waged, a battle against flies to combat sickness and filth. t After trying several plans, one was very successful. A rectangular screen wire pen, 24x12 inches, was built, having a cone built from the false bottom into the center. The flies are attracted to the trap by means of sweet smelling bait. They rrawl through a small opening and when they get in

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

they never find the wav out. Twenty-one traps were built at a cost of less than 10 cents each. Each trap has a capacity for approximately 15.000 flies and each of the twenty-one traps becomes full and is emptied twice a day. destroying approximately 630.000 flies a day. The flies are sprayed with poison and killed, then taken from the trap and burned, to make sure that none survive. r a a TJESIDES having the traps, two -L* men are kept busy in each of the two dining tents, doing noth-

ing but killing flies. The great swarm which greeted the men on their arrival now is cut to a very few. This war on flies probaolv has prevented a great many cases of illness, not only to the men at the camp, but also to citizens of Boonville. The public has been urged to assist the camp officials in their effort to have a ‘fly-less” town. The camp is sanitary throughout. City water is supplied to the kitchen for cooking purposes and also piped to a modern open-air shower.
