EIGHT MORE U. S. DESTROYERS ARE ORDERED TO CUBA Coast Guard Ships Will Be Rushed to Caribbean; Eight Others Will Stand By for Emergency. DISORDERS MENACE NEW REGIME .Violence Reported From Many Towns; Plea Against Intervention Made by Rebellion Chief. By l ntt'd I’retx WASHINGTON, Sept. 7.—The navy department today drew eight additional destroyers into its preparations to pro- * tect American lives in Cuba, while the coast guard ordered a similar number of its destroyers to participate in the movement. The navy department announced eight coast guard destroyers had been ordered from Norfolk, Va., to Cuban waters, where they will report to Rear Admiral C. S. Freeman aboard the cruiser Richmond and in command of the special service squadron.

Eight naval destroyers were ordered from Newport, R. 1., to home stations to disembark naval reservists and take aboard their regular crews of eighty-five men each. They then would be available for instant movement to Cuba. Disorders Are Fought BY LAWRENCE S. HAAS l?nitd Pres* Staff Correspondent HAVANA, Sept. 7—Disorders in Cuba were vigorously fought by the new revolutionary regime today as the concentration of United States warships and marines toward Havana stirred grave fear of intervention. Sporadic outbreaks, seizure of sugar centrals, some of them American owned, scattered killings and a threat against at least one American citizen caused the revolutionists. still insecure in the saddle, to fight hard against further incidents that might bring United States marines ashore. Dr. Ramon Grau San Martin, leading member of the governing commission of five, said the sporadic outbreaks were being promptly quelled. He referred to them as a heritage from previous regimes, arising from economic distress. Asks Fair Play Regarding intervention, he declared all Cuba asked was fair play and a chance to draw up anew constitution of its own. not one dictated by the United States. The presence of the American warships here will render the whole task of the regime more difficult, he said. ••Have we been prejudiced and found guilty?" he asked in a statement to the United Press. ‘ Must the first truly Cuban government this country has had succumb to intimidation? This is hardly in accord with President Roosevelt’s •good neighbor' policy that all LatinAmerica recently applauded As United States warships raced toward the island and marines awaited orders at Quantico. the executive commissioners met at the president's palace early today with the new chiefs of staff of army and navy, both sergeants, and the police chief, a lieutenant. They decided it wise to bring back to their units officers throughout the country against whom no charges or accusations were pending and who enjoyed public confidence and the confidence of their men. I'nrecognized by Welles They met in an atmosphere portentous with possibilities of triumph or disaster. Unrecognized by any foreign government entirely out of touch with Sumner Welles, American ambassador, who co-operated in every phase of the preceding Cespedes revolutionary government, uncertain of the discipline of the enlisted men running the military and police, and unbacked by most of the principal political figures, the committee fought desperately to make itself secure, establish absolute order, and avoid American intervention. which every Cuban patriot would regard as the ultimate tragedy. Mobs of workers In Oriente province seized the Chaparra and Delicias sugar centrals. Other workers seized the Baguanos central in the same province. The United Press received an unconfirmed private report that 1.000 workers seized the Hormiguera central in Santa Clara province. Police Watch Newspaper In Havana the government assigned policemen to guard the Havana Post, fearing attacks because an article in another newspaper declared that the Post was for Machado. Ambassador Welles prevented a possible incident that at the moment might have caused intervention when a group of students, port workers, and members of the ABC radical society sought to prevent the sailing of Mathew V. Molanphy. American general manager of the United Fruit Company, whom they accused of instigating the assassination of Margarito Iglesias. a worker.

Mum’s Word! State Cops Not Let In on Bank Robbery, Says Captain Leach.

“ \ LL I know is what I read in A. the papers.” This Will Rogers comment was applied by Captain Matt Leach of the state police today to the co-operation between his department and the Indianapolis city police. For the local headquarters never called the state police at all regarding the $25,000 bank robbery Wednesday and Leach knew nothing of it until the afternoon papers came out. The state police have a motor force which could be used instantly to guard roads and help prevent a getaway, it was pointed out. Other cities usually call the state police headquarters at the statehouse, it was said. START FINAL DRIVE ON GOLD HOARDERS Sept. 18 Last Day for Filing of Blanks by Holders.

Viscount Grey Is Dead; Bore World War Blame

By I'nitrd Pre* ALNWICK. England. Sept. 7. Viscount Grey of Fallodon. Great Britain's foreign minister during the momentous years from 1905 to 1916, and one of the handful of statesmen whose policies shaped the events that led to the World war. died today at Fallodon, his Northumberland estate. He was 71. He died after a courageous eleven-day fight against hopeless illness. He had been unconscious for sixty-four hours, without food, and amazed physicians bv his strength. Forced into seclusion in his last years because of failing sight that left him almost blind. Lord Grey attained an expert knowledge of the Braille method of raised letters and numbers for the blind. He instructed himself. A diplomatist of amazing ability, he also was a sportsman, a writer, and a famous bird lover. He was admired universally and liked despite the controversy that still is continued regarding his pre-war policies and the measure of blame, if any, that attached to him in connection with the start of the Great war. He was married twice, but was childless. Both wives died. There,

HEAT KEEPS ITS CLUTCH ON CITY No Hope for Relief Given in Next 36 Hours, as Mercury Rises. The heat wave tightened its grip on Indianapolis today, and at noon the temperature reading was three degrees higher than the noon reading of Wednesday. At 12:30 today the mercury had climbed to 92. There is little or no hope for any change in temperature for the next thirty-six hours, it was forecast today by the United States weather bureau. The mercury is running on an average of ten degrees above normal, J. H. Armington, senior meteorologist said. Wednesday’s high was 91, eleven degrees above normal. Tuesday was nine degrees above normal, and Monday, ten degrees. The temperature dropped to 72 during the night, providing city residents with a comfortable night. Starting at 72 at 6 this morning, the mercury humped itself twenty degrees in the next six hours.

JUDGE BARS GUNMEN FROM COURT SESSION Refuses to Allow Murder Suspects to Appear on Behalf of Captive. BAIL REDUCTION DENIED Cox Lashes Prisoner for Falsehood and Carrying Guns on Trip. With the alleged murderers of Police Sergeant Lester Jones barred from the courtroom, Circuit Judge Earl R. Cox today denied Willard Kelly, Indianapolis bandit suspect, reduction in bonds under which he is held. Charged with vehicle taking and with auto banditry, and specifically accused of taking part in the holdup last November in the Indianapolis Railways car barns, in which $1,300 was taken, Kelly appeared in court with his attorneys in his habeas corpus action. Thomas McNulty and Henry Winkler, attorneys for Kelly, charged police with holding Kelly on excessive bonds of $15,000 and accused the courts of delaying trial. Kelly’s address is 1510 North Bosart avenue. Moved to County Jail The alleged Jones murderers, Fred Adams, Ernie Giberson, and Edward (Foggy) Dean were moved to Marion county jail qarly today from the Hamilton county jail at Noblesville, to testify for Kelly. They are said to have made statements exonerating Kelly of the charges and were ready to appear in court to corroborate their state- | ments. “I am not going to turn loose those men in this courtroom,” barked Cox to Kelly’s attorneys. "If necessary, we’ll go to the jail to take i their testimony.” Placed on the stand, Kelly was ! quizzed personally by Cox. He admitted that he had been arrested three times prior to his arrest in Louisville in January and that in 1 1925 he had been sentenced to two to fourteen years for burglary and had been paroled after serving four | years of his term. Arrest Is Admitted He admitted he was taken into | custody and quizzed as a suspect in the holdups of the Hilgemeier Packing Company and the Polk Milk Company. When arrested in Louisville with the men held on the murder charges, Kelly was said to have been packing two automatic revolvers. He admitted he had two guns and was carrying them ‘‘for protection.” ‘‘Protection against hijackers?” asked Cox. “Yes,” answered Kelly. "Then you were going to Louisville ! to meet Foggy Dean and discuss a beer deal?” pressed Cox. “Yes,” said Kelly. Denies Hijacking Intent “Were you going to do any hijacking?” asked the judge. “No, not then,” answered Kelly. The two guns, police assert, were stolen from an United States armory, but Kelly insisted he had purchased the revolvers. Waving Kelly off the stand. Cox deivered an angry lecture to the attorneys. “This man hasn’t told me the truth,” said the judge bitterly. “He left jail promising to go straight and here he is, admitting running beer, and packing two guns. Assailed by Judge He denies taking part in the street car robbery, but he doesn't explain those guns very .well. The only thing guns are used for is to shoot people. “Purpose of the high bond apparently is to hold Kelly in custody where the officers can put their hands on him when they want him. As far as the delay in the trial is concerned. I never knew of Judge Frank P. Baker in criminal court delaying a trial. “Rather, Baker has been criticized for handling cases too rapidly. Take this man back to jail.”

Cardinal Dougherty

By I nitcd Press ARDMORE, Pa., Sept. 7.—Police today sought a “man with a scar on his nose” on charges of threatening to bomb the residence of Dennis Cardinal Dougherty, unless the head of the diocese of Philadelphia paid him $50,000. Identification of the man, described by police as a maniac, was made by Thomas Frederick, servant in the cardinal’s home at Merion. “A man has been loitering around the estate for the last three weeks,” Frederick told the United Press, “and I believe he is the man who sent the threatening letter, be r cause he told me Wednesday night that he would be back tonight for the $50,000.” Frederick said the “fanatic” had the idea that the cardinals had made him lose some money.

Guard Torture Suspect; Rescue by Pals Feared

By United Prrgg ROBINSON, 111., Sept. 7. Illinois state police today are guarding a hospital here where Victor Wright, Robinson, suspect member of a torture murder gang, is suffering from a shotgun wound, inflicted last week by a state officer. The guard was set Wednesday night and will be maintained continuously, officials declared.

FIVE SUSPECTS ARE NABBED IN HUNT FOR BANK ROBBERS, FLEEING WITH $24,000 LOOT

FORD TO AID NRA ‘AS FAR AS POSSIBLE’ Magnate Said to Fear That Code Will Hurt Small Parts Suppliers. BY LESLIE D. HARROP United Press Staff Correspondent (Copyright, 1933. by United Press) BIG BAY. Mich., Sept. 7.—Henry Ford has pledged co-operation with the NRA as far as possible, but hesitates to sign the automobile code for fear that it may “injure small parts suppliers.” Ford’s attitude toward NRA w-as presented unofficially today by fellow members of the exclusive Huron Mountain club, where the automobile manufacturer is vacationing. They represented him as being in sympathy with the recovery program as a generality, but said he objected to certain technical features. He was quoted by these sources as saying he had promised Recovery Administrator Hugh S. Johnson that he wopld “work as far as possible with the recovery program. Ford boarded his private tug Wednesday and together with Fred J. Johnson, manager of his upper peninsula properties, sailed to Pequaming, Mich., where he inspected the Ford lumber mills. Later he sailed back to the Huron Mountain Club here. He has given no indication as to when he plans to return, but those familiar with his habits said he had not definitely fixed a date for the trip back to Detroit. Victory Won on Coal Code BY THOMAS L. STOKES Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, Sept. 7.—President Roosevelt emerged victoriously today from the final battle over industrial codes, as he whipped the bituminous coal industry into line after w-eeks of negotiations that came perilously near an upset several times. General Johnson today will hand the operators the code that he has drafted, which was agreed to Wednesday night at a three-hour White House conference. The NRA administrator is giving the operators until 6 p. m. Friday to file objections, an ultimatum backed by President Roosevelt. Then the code will become effective. There is going on here perhaps the most momentous capital-labor arbitration experiment in the country’s history. Under the very shadow of the White House, coal operators and labor leaders are writing wage agreements for the whole industry with the United Mine Workers, now securely established by the dominating John L. Lewis, recognized as the organization with which the industry must deal. The contracts for the various districts are being drafted on the basis of general principles to be enunciated today by Johnson. These have formed the storm center of the negotiations, which so often have been broken off and resumed again, and which finally were concluded Wednesday night by President Roosevelt’s intercession, following General Johnson’s long “wearing down” process.

Economic Unity Goal of Pan-American Conference BY JOHN R. MORRIS United Press Staff Correspondent (Copyright. 1933, by United Press) MEXICO CITY, Sept. 7.—Latin-American nongovernmental debts and a suggestion for a Pan-American system of bimetalism may be outstanding topics at the seventh Pan-American conference at Montevideo next December. Dr. Jose Manuel Puig Casauranc, Mexican foreign secretary, in an exclusive interview with the United Press today, indicated that the question of Latin-America’s foreign debts, a large part of which are owed to United States bondholders, would come before the conference.

He intimated that Mexico probably will move before the conference meets to modifyl the agenda, to make certain that this and other I subjects, including possible adoption of a Pan-American system of bi- [ metalism, would receive careful at-

and questioned regarding the torture murder of Mrs. Mary Schrader, 82, at the farm home of her brother, Bernard Weldon, 84, near Newton. 111. Incensed over his arrest, Wright is said to have obtained a gun after he was released and announced he was going to “get” a state policeman. He was shot in the abdomen by an officer. Wright’s condition has been serious, but today doctors said he probably will recover. Other suspects held in the case are Henry Shelby, Tilton, 111., who is said to have confessed four other torture murders, and John Allen, Danville.

NATION'S BANKS DRAW UP CODE Minor Changes Are Made in Wages, Hours of Temporary Pact. By United Prcxx CHICAGO, Sept. 7—The banks of the nation, as represented by the American Bankers Association, adopted a “code of fair competition” today. The permanent code made some exceptions to and minor changes in minimum wages and maximum hours as provided in the temporary code under which the banks have been operating. The association was told today that the administration is determined to carry out the provisions of the Glass-Steagall banking act providing for insurance of deposits on Jan. 1, despite opposition. “Bank insurance is part of the federal law,” J. F. T. O’Connor, controller of the currency, declared in aan address at the convention. Wednesday the convention adopted a resolution pleading that means be found to postpone the insurance provisions and contending that under it thousands of banks unable to qualify would be forced to close. O’Connor made a spirited defense of the insurance provision. The banks themselves will save "many millions of dollars,” he said, through the elimination of interest on demand deposits. “Is there any depositor who would not accept one-half of 1 per cent less interest and know his deposit was insured, if such a step were necesssary to save the insurance provision?” O’Connor asked. UTILITY PAYS CITY TAX Profits From Light and Power Plant Take Care of Huntingburg. By United Prexx HUNTINGBURG, Ind., Sept. 7. Profits from the municipal light and power plant will enable Huntingburg to be a tax free city in 1934. Cost of municipal government for the 3,440 persons here has been estimated at $25,000 for next year. Profits of the light plant enabled the local tax adjustment board to dispense with a levy in 1932.

tention. Dr. Pulg is expected to be chairman of the Mexican delegation to the conference. Economic unity among all nations of North and South America should be the goal of the conference, he said. “It is to be hoped,” he told the correspondent, “that the conference will convert into tangible reality much that until now has been an illusion or an ideal. In general, the conference should make of the Americas—if this be possible, in a sense, at the same time generous and practical for all—an economic unit, without thought of aggression against any other group of peoples. It should achieve a spiritual unity, also, which sometime might become a political unity, provided it succeeds in transforming into facts those propositions of equality, respect, and solidarity which already are ideals.” "If the thoughts of the other Latin American governments follow preferentially economic channels,” he continued. “Mexico perhaps will obtain certain modifications in the economic chapter of the agenda, to introduce in a more concrete form | those theme* which now are par(Tom to Page Six)

The car had Ohio license plates, 89-304, and the engine was excessively hot, indicating the car had been driven for a long period at high speed. None of the men will discuss the robbery charge. Indianapolis police officers and barfk officials plan to go to Marshall this afternon to view the prisoners. Police here admitted this morning they are looking for a bandit gang which has committed numerous bank robberies in Ohio during the last two months. Detectives learned today that four men occupied an apartment across the street from the bank for a week, leaving two days before the robbery. Possibility that one of two automobiles used by the robberies was stolen from an Indianapolis man in Chicago on Monday was being considered today. Resembles Bandit Car The car was that of Lawrence R. Lyons, 109 South Traub avenue. It resembled closely one of the bandit cars. Two members of the gang hava been identified and a third identified tentatively, from Bertillon photographs, it was reported. Detectives refused to disclose names. One is reported to have been the man most active in the robbery, another the driver of one of the two automobiles, and the third, one of five occupants of a car. Reports of two automobiles resembling those used by the robbers were received by police Wednesday. Seen by Gas Attendant Henry Alfka, attendant at a filling station at Martindale avenue and Twenty-fifth street, reported he saw two cars going east on the street at a high rate of speed, each occupied by two men. One of the cars had Ohio license plates, which were reported on the automobile occupied by three of the robbers, among them the two which entered the bank. Elmer Riggs, Fairmount, Ind., reported that a car with Ohio plates passed through the town about 5:30 Thursday. He said it was occupied by two men and was being driven on a street distant from the lousiness section of the town. The loss in the robbery was covered fully by insurance, according to bank officials, and will not cause any interruption in operation of the bank. Loot was the second largest ever obtained in an Indianapolis bank robbery. The largest amount was $31,000, taken in 1926 from a Union Trust Company branch at Morris street and Kentucky avenue. GAS PRICES ARE RAISED Half-Cent Increase Put in Effect Today by Standard Oil. Another half-cent a gallon raise in gasoline prices became effective today following announcement by F. H.
