JUDGE BARS REPORTERS ON TIMES STAFF Sheaffer Orders Two Out of Courtroom. Then Changes Mind. STORY ROUSES WRATH Feud With Morrissey Is Renewed by Jurist in Contempt Case. After losine the first clash in his feud with Chief Mike Morrissey, Municipal Judp' William H Sheaffer today declared open war on The Times, barring two reporters from his court room, hut later lifting his ban when confronted by an attorney for The Times. Sheaffer Tuesday fined patrolman Raymond Boyd $25 for direct contempt of court, remanding Boyd to Jail on nonpayment of the fine. Sheaffcr's ruling was reversed by Circuit Judge Earl H. Cox. in sustaining a petit on for a writ of habeas corpus brought in Boyds behalf. Events leading to the citation were the arrest of Clarence Matthews, 403 North Grant avenue. Boyd's nephew, on a traffic charge, his failure to appear in court, and issuance of a rearrest warrant, which was not served by police. Rules "No Contempt” Cox, in freeing Boyd, ruled that the patrolman's actions, as shown by lower court records, were no cause for the contempt citation. Sheaffer appeared in circuit court, leaving after charging that an attempt was being made to humiliate him. Apparently irked by The Times’ coverage of the citation and resultant hearing, which included a report that the safety board was considering an appeal to Governor Paul V. McNutt for his impeachment, Sheaffer thus morning met a veteran police court reporter for The Times in the corridor near the courtroom. "Don't dare come in my courtroom and I don't want to talk to you," said Sheaffer. Another reporter was sent to cover the news of the coujt. Walking to the front of the courtroom, the reporter conversed with the bailiff. ‘Get Out,’ Says Judge "Are you a reporter?" asked Sheaffer from the bench. "Yes," was the reply. "What paper?” demanded the judge. "The Times." said the reporter. "Get out and stay out," said Sheaffer.

Americans Are Periled in Cuba; Flee from Interior to Refuge Near Santiago Families Without Shelter: Ambassador Welles Acts for Relief: Army Officers Threaten Rebellion Against President San Martin. BY LAWRENCE HAAS United Press Staff Correspondent ‘CoDvrleht. 1933. bv United Press* HAVANA. Sept. 13.—American refugees hastily concentrated at Rente, across the harbor from Santiago to the east of here, Tuesday night while the United States embassy anxiously awaited further word of their plight. The United Press correspondent at Santiago reported that several American families from American-owned mines in that vicinity had gathered at Rente, on property belonging to an American. Among the families seeking safety there, he reported, w'as that of a man named Wetmore. manager of the Standard Fruit Company. | Others w T ere Toman of the Gen-

$35,000 TAKEN IN BANK HOLDUP Robbers Believed to Be St. Paul Express Theft Gang. Ry I nitnl Prrt AMERY, Wis., Sept. 13.—Four heavily armed men, believed to be members of a gang which conducted an express robbery in St. Paul, held up the Union State bank today and escaped with loot estimated at $35,000. Description of the men tallied exactly with those of four men surprised near Hayward, Wis., Tuesday, while they were burying a strong box seized in the St. Paul robbery. The quartet apparently spent the night in the bank. At 7:50 a. m. today Clifford Olson, assistant cashier, met when he opened the bank and was forced to unlock all boxes in the safe deposit vaults. Three of the bandits leisurely looted the bank, while the fourth slipped out to bring their automobile to the front door. The bandits wore while handkerchief masks about their faces, just as did the eight men who perpetrated the St. Paul robbery. Several times they mentioned that their driver would return at 8:20 a. m. After SIO,OOO in currency and $25,000 in securities, about half nonnegotiable, had been placed in leather brief cases, the bandits left the bank at 8:20 a. m., right on schedule. SLEEPING DEATHS IN ST. LOUIS TAKE DROP Slackening Fatality Rate Reported by Scientists. Bit I'nitcd Fres* ST. LOUIS. Sept. 13.—Health officials today noted an apparent j slackening in the number of deaths resulting from the epidemic of en- j cephalitis that has drawn more than one hundred of the nation's leading medical authorities here. Although the officials emphasized ‘ that no preventive or successful j method of treatment has been j found, they said the slackening death rate, although possibly only temporary, is encouraging. Two additional deaths in the last twelve hours increased to 132 the number of fatalities among the 754 cases wihch have been confined to hospital isolation wards. Approxi--mately 150 persons have recovered from the disease. ACCUSED SLAYER DEAD T. B. Claims Prisoner Alleged to Have Killed Wife, Physician. Ry United Pres MICHIGAN CITY. Ind.. Sept. 13. —Leo Dembinski. 27. who was to have gone on trial at South Bend next Tuesday for murder of h*. wife and a Negro physician, died in state prison here Tuesday of tuber- j culosis. Dembinski shot and killed his wife and the physician. Dr. J. L. Curtis, in March. 1930. He was j committed here without trial after being adjudged insane. TALK ON TAX SLASHES Zoercher.

is the time for all good motorists and pedestrians to come to the aid of their city. Although the descriptive phrase "hick town" has come into the latest argument over downtown traffic operations, hundreds in the city will resent its use and testify that the traffic system is big time. Well, whether it's hick or big town, the battle of the semaphores is underway. Two months ago. the semaphores for traffic direction went into the storehouse. The cops were leaning too much to suit their bosses. Now, some of the cops say it s

None Has Shelter The brief dispatches indicated they were without shelter and needed tents In which to live during the crisis. The Santiago military command was in the hands of enlisted men and noncommissioned officers. Ambassador Sumner Welles ordered further details at once. He checked out of the National hotel Tuesday afternoon, but denied earlier rumors that he planned to | return to Washington. He said he ! was leaving the hotel because of the current strike of the hotel employes, called out by their union. Welles and his family moved to the President hotel, but left their trunks at the National. The threat of a counter-revolution i led by the 300 army and navy officers, ejected last week during the j bloodless rebellion of enlisted men, ! further endangered the new cabinet iof provisional President Ramon i Grau San Martin. The cabinet was : sworn in Tuesday. Revolt Is Feared It was feared the officers might seek political support and inspire a | counter-rebellion —but no move to break up their sessions was made by the authorities, who so far apparently felt it best to let them talk it out. As long as they commit no overt act, they will not be arrested, it was indicated. The officers themselves insisted they had no intention of starting trouble with the troops They were too badly outnumbered, j the army mustering upwards of 10,-: 000 men. Officers arriving from the provinces reported starvation and misery i in the interior. Observers pointed 1 out, however, their reports might be exaggerated, inasmuch as they are prejudiced against the new regime. President Is Optimistic President Grau San Martin remained optimistic. He told the United Press that the ‘‘officers’ question will be settled shortly and satisfactorily all around.” “With the cabinet functioning and order maintained throughout Cuba,” Dr. Grau San Martin said, “I am confident we shortly can secure recognition." He also was optimistic that the numerous labor disputes causing increasing separate strikes—there has been no general strike movement as yet—could be handled satv isfactorily by the new cabinet.

INDIANAPOLIS, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1933

THREE MORE STATES WET; SCORE: 29 TOO Minnesota, Maryland, and Colorado Are Added to Repeal List. DRYS ROUTED IN CITIES Baltimore, St. Paul, and Denver Roll Up Huge Majorities. By United Press Approval of only seven more j states was needed today to remove the eighteenth amendment from the Constitution. Substantial returns from Colo- ; rado, Minnesota, and Maryland, | which voted Tuesday, indicated j good majorities for repeal. They | were the 27th, 28th, and 29th states I to join the unbroken wet parade. ! With more than three-fourths of I the state’s precincts counted, repeal led in Colorado by more than 2 to 1. j With more than half of the pre- | cincts counted in Minnesota, the | repealists were maintaining the | sa4ne lead. In Maryland the repeal victory was expected to approach j the proportions of 5% to 1. Tuesday’s landslide for repeal, following close on a wet victory in the prohibiton pioneer state of Maine Monday, placed repeal within reaching distance of actuality. Ten states vote between now and Nov. 7. Wets are confident of winning all, but need to win only seven for victory. Others Vote Soon New Mexico and Idaho vote next Tuesday. Virginia votes Oct. 3, Florida Oct. 10, and Ohio, Pennsylvania, North and South Carolina, Utah and Kentucky, Nov. 7. The last repeal convention will be held Dec. 6 and if the wets are victorious, the eighteenth amendment will die

on that day. Two of Maryland’s Eastern Shore counties apparently were dry, resisting the overwhelming repeal ! sentiment of the rest of the state, j But this will not keep the repeal | convention from being unanimously i wet, it was believed. Three delegates were elected from each of the six congressional districts, and six were elected at large. All districts seemed safely wet, and Baltimore’s almost 11-torl majority for repeal seemed to asslire election of wet delegates at large. Rural sections, holding true to traditional dry allegiance, made the wet victory less overwhelming in Minnesota, but the state’s cities proved themselves no different from cities elsewhere. Minneapolis was almost 3 to 1 wet; St. Paul about 41 2 to 1. Denver Heavily Wet Every urban center of Colorado was wet, while rural communities displayed dry tendencies. Denver’s’ wet majority was 5 to 1. Lake county, in which is the old mining camp of Leadville, celebrated for moonshine, cast 1,038 votes for* repeal and 61 against. The latest vote figures from Colorado, in 1,339 out of 1,548 precints, give:’ For repeal, 128,916; against 58.158. Maryland’s figures, from twenty of twenty-three counties, give: For repeal, 179,399; against, 32,127. Minnesota figures, 1,980 of the states’s 3,693 precincts reporting, are: For repeal, 313,349; against, 149,189. INSPECTS PROBATION OFFICE OF U. S.

Moore, supervisor of the department of justice, inspected the local offices of the United States probation department today in the last stop of a tour of inspection throughout the middlewest.

Just a Regular Fellow That’s Wiley Post, Who Hates Fuss and Frills; And How He Hates to Make a Speech! - ?§§§B§B&U

Wiley Post BY LOWELL NUSSBAUM, Times Staff Writer A WHITE monoplane flashed out of the haze over Municipal ah port, circled in a thundering roar, banked into the wind, and th'jn seemed almost to stop as it pointed at the long runway. An onlooker got an idea, somehow, that the white monoplane wasn’t so eager to come down. The idea faded as the airplane dropped to a perfect landing, taxied to a stop and turned facing a crowd of Indianapolis celebrities, gathered at the airport Tuesday afternoon.

A hatless, bushy, black-haired head popped out of the opening atop the plane- A white patch over his left eye, Wiley Post, holder of one globe-circling record after another, seemed to be gazing apprehensively at the crowd. Welcomers approached, chattering their greetings. A worried look creased Wiley's brow. Then he grinned shyly as he clambered down to the ground. “Glad to meetcha,” he said to introductions. a a a LATER in the day, before a dinner given in his honor at the Severin, Wiley Post sat is a comfortable chair in a room at the hotel, surrounded by newspapermen. He said nothing. “Flying around the world,” said one newspapermen finally, “is as tough a grind as you’ll find, isn’t it?” . “Well,” said Wiley Post, haltingly. “Next week, the week after that, and the week after that on this tour is tougher, I guess.” Newspapermen grinned. It wasn’t hai'd to understand Wiley Post. He didn’t have to say a word. He was a welcome relief to newspaper men, after the minerun of egotistical, pseudosophisticated celebrities. You could tell that Wiley Post can be happy just sitting and listening. He’s just a human being. Perhaps that's the answer. It wasn’t necessary for him to burst out and tell what he was 'thinking. Every one in the room knew it. Wiley was wishing he was in some hangar, in smudgy overalls, tinkering with an airplane motor, far from a bunch of fellows who wanted to ask questions—even if they were nice fellows. a a a WILEY POST was wishing he was somewhere up in the clouds at the stick of an airplane. But wish as he would, the prospect of a banquet was in front of him. He would have to make a speech. One could almost see him shuddering. This, at least, was better. These boys were “good guys.” They didn’t expect him to be some big (Turn to Page Five) STORE LICENSES BOOM 8,558 More Paying State Fee Now Than Year Ago.

250,000 MARCH IN NRA PARADE Breath-Taking Evidence of Loyalty to President Is Given by New York. BY JOHN R. BEAL United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Sept. 13.—The placid breadth of Fifth avenue resounded today to the martial tread of a quarter million people, when the greatest parade in American history drummed up the long avenue in a breath-taking demonstration of confidence in President Roosevelt and his national recovery program. More than 250,000 marched, but at least double that number massed on the flag-spangled sidewalks and in the main reviewing stands between the carved lions of the public library where Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, General Hugh S. Johnson, Governor Herbert Lehman and dignitaries represented city, state and federal governments. On the stately street was concentrated almost all the city’s activities of the afternoon. Stock and commodity exchanges had closed, banks were reduced to skeleton staffs, and other employers under the blue eagle had closed up shop early and dispatched their quota to the ranks of the marchers. It was a tribute to the trust of the people in their leadership, almost overwhelming in its magnitude. More than 200 bands brightened the long march with military and popular music; 76 military and civilian planes circled overhead, and more than 2,000 police patrolled the route of the seven-hour procession.

STATE TO PAY HIGHER WAGES OH ROAD JOBS Mechanical Equipment to Be Restricted, to Give More Employment. Increased wage scales and re- | strictions on use of mechanical : equipment, as required under new ! rules of the federal government in i co-operation with NRA. will govern bidding for paving and bridges by the state highway commission next Tuesday, it was announced today by Chairman Janies D. Adams. The new rule will appiy to all the $10,000,000 allotted to the state for road work, through the national rej covery act funds. Adams explained. They will apply to about sixtyeight of the ninety-one miles of paving and grading up for letting next week. j The new minimum wage scale gives skilled workers 55 cents and unskilled. 47 cents an hour. Wages Go Up Minimum wage, under the Hoover emergency federal aid program, was 45 cents for skilled, and 35 cents : for unskilled labor. New rules restricting use of me- , chanical equipment are designed to j provide for more laborers and the 1 use of teams, it was explained. Hours of work will be shortened from forty to thirty a week, with exceptions to be made for longer working periods where weather conditions make it necessary, i All workmen, with certain exceptions, must be employed from lists provided by the unemployment relief agency in the county where work is being done. Ex-service men will be given first preference under the rules. Successful bidders also must agree i to use only American-made products, with preference given to firms which have qualified under the blue eagle code. Under Federal Rules The sixty-eight miles are the first j authorized for payment from the $10,000,000 fund, Adams said. Plans | for $5,000,000 of municipal highway I improvements have been pending ! approval at Washington for weeks. This work will be carried on by I the state highway department unj der the same new federal rules. How highway construction can be j made to provide jobs was illustrated | in a highway department bulletin today, showing in detail how 400 men are being employed on an eleven-mile project in Rush county. Every man employed, with r,he exception of the foreman and a few skilled laborers, are from the ranks of the Rush county unemployed.

Petition for appointment of two appraisers to examine Florida real estate held among assets of the defunct Meyer-Kiser bank was filed today in circiut court by Thomas E. Garvin, received. In his current report, filed Tuesday, Garvin pointed out that nearly half of the real property of the bank is located in Florida, and that much of the securities and intangibles are secured by real estate there. Garvin suggested the appointment of Ralph E. Peckham, Indianapolis, and O. Philip Wolfson, Miami Beach, Fla., as appraisers. The work will start immediately after the appointments and probably will be completed about Oct. I, Garvin said.

President’s Patience Near End Over Delay in Coal Regulations. RECOVERY SPEEDED UR Army Housing Project Is Approved: Steel Parley Is Called. Ry United Prcm WASHINGTON, Sept. 13. —President Roosevelt is prepared to swing the “big stick” within the next few hours to bring coal operators into line on recovery. This policy was strongly indicated today at the Whiste House, where the President was watching every development in the situation that for nearly a month has held up signing of the bituminous coal code. Mr. Roosevelt was prepared to meet with the operators and officials of the NRA and others in an attempt to bring about speedily a definite peace. Friends of the President represented him as feeling that the negotiations were lasting too long and that the miners were somewhat justified in becoming restive. Acts for Recovery The President moved swiftly today to cleave the way for unrestrained movement of the recovery program, which he indicated already is making its full effects felt throughout the nation. He spread re-employment by starting a $50,000,000 army housing project. He reported that the upswing of farm prices was bringing results, that the recovery program was reducing the number of destitute, and that the administration was pouring credit into trade channels to quicken the business upturn. He called steel magnates to a conference, which he hopes will result in large orders of steel rails for railroads, under his program for aiding the carriers and spreading work in the steel sections.

Drive Gains Momentum Meanwhile, the force of the renewed drive toward prosperity [ emanating from the White House made itself felt in the recovery administration. The master retail code was in form for definite action by Administrator Hugh S. Johnson. Oct. 1 was set as the deadline ; for substitution of wage and hour provision in the President’e re-em- ] ployment agreement. The national labor board considered two industrial disputes, the silk textile situation and the Brockton shoe strike. Hearings were continued on proposed codes for the motion picture ! and boot and shoe industry. Johnson remained in New York after Tuesday night’s speech, in which he said that 85 per cent of | the nation’s employers were under | the blue eagle. He warned against backsliding and obstructionist ! tactics. Delay Is Charged The delicate situation in coal centered about charges that a deliberate policy of delay is being encouraged so that large purchasers of i coal, principally railroads and the j utilities, may stock up at present | low prices. 1 Deputy Administrator A. D. Whiteside said the retail code has been put into form for final consideration. Some changes may be necessary, but Whiteside said he anticipated action on it within a few days. The code still contains the pricefixing feature of making it an unfair trade practice to sell at less than the invoice cost plus 10 per cent. The consumers’ advisory board was protesting this provision and some discussion on this point may still be necessary. The codes substitution deadline was decided on in an effort to hasten codification of industry so that the program may pass to the administrative phase, in which emphasis will be placed on 100 per cent compliance with- agreements calling for shorter working hours and increased pay. It also was announced that Johnson no longer will approve substitution of codes presented by industrial or trade groups which aggregate less than 1,000 employes. Individual firms in such groups not already under the blue eagle, and unable to comply with the NRA, should seek exception before local compliance boards, it was said. Thirty Chickens Are Stolen Mrs. Bertha Morris, 849 Temple avenue, reported to police that thirty chickens, valued at S2O, were stolen Tuesday noon from her horn*.
