CHAPTER ONE HP HE young man with tne gray eyes, clean-cut profile and well-knit shoulders passed the pretty girl in Pullman 20 again. Funny how she could still he reading- the same magazine so—well, so darned enthusiastically. He would have been cheered if he had known that the girl occupying the Pullman two seats in front of him was aware that he had passed to and from the observation car exactly two dozen times since they left Washington and that almost as many times she had stifled the impulse to follow. It was plain that the observation car was interesting to the young man and just as plain that his interest was short-lived, once he reached it. “Restless,” Joan Waring decided, “and spoiled. Likes his way and generally gets it. If there were the slightest excuse, he’d be starting something right now.” She smiled into her magazine just as the occupant of Pullman 24 swung through the coach again. He noted the smile and checked it up against her. Like silly stories. If she didn't, why in heaven's name had she sat for two days with her particularly pretty nose in a magazine and those particularly lovely eyes upon it, refusing to meet his eyes once in a while? What could you do in a case like this? Evidently his education had been neglected for it provided no ways of meeting such a situation except the time-worn ones which would, he felt, not work with this type of girl. He grinned as he thought of the old methods such as, "I’m out of matches. Stupid of me. but if you—” Tli at procedure had come in after the old handkerchief plan died of old age and abuse. Some of the fellow's at school had kept a regular supply of girls’ handkerchiefs which often paved the way to a number of interesting adventures. The match idea probably had been outmoded, too. while he was grinding aw r ay at Boston Tech. Anyway, it wouldn't work. Not with this seif-assured younff woman who was so outrageously lovely, devastatingly different, and distractingly sweet with her gray-blue eyes, straight little nose and her dark hair. * * But. with all the glamour, there was something sensible and genuine and matter-of-fact about her. He could like this girl. He knew it. Funny, how you could know' things like that. Just what would happen, he wondered. if he should walk up to ner and say something like this—which, by the way, would be the exact truth: "We'll be in Memphis soon —a city. I understand, of several thousand souls. I am afraid that when you get off this train. I'll never see vou again and I want to tremendously. So I am taking this extraordinary way of meeting you. It happens to be the first time I've been such a darned idiot and opened a conversation with a girl." Maybe she would light a cigaret. blow a smoke ring and say companionably: "Sit down and let’s talk it over.” But no—that would be just the thing she wouldn't do. She probably would think he was trying to concoct one of those silly affairs which had always disgusted him. His face grew red at the thought and he settled into his seat more comfortably, reaching for a magazine. mum AT the end of the half hour he gave it up because he realized that no one word was registering'. He was simply mooning over an unapproachable young woman who looked as though she could be friendly and understanding and yet had maintained that consistent aloofness throughout two trying. \ yet strangely interesting days. The porter had stopped and was gathering up his bags. ‘ Coming into Memphis, boss.’’ "On time, are we?” "Yessuh. we re right on time." Robert Weston reached for his felt hat and overcoat, swung his scarf about his neck and moved toward the entrance. He stopped there suddenly as the girl behind him came near. "I beg your pardon.” Cheers. I had been a silly ruse, blocking the way. Probably she suspected—but it had worked. * a a HE moved aside. “Sorry.” He said it abruptly, at loss to seize opportunity now that it was presented to him. Others had pressed into the narrow passage and for a moment the girl was very close to him. He watched her later as she selected her bag from the miscellaneous assortment outside, tipped the porter and followed in the wake of the red cap. Having identified his own luggage, he hurried after her, his long srldes bringing him close again as the neared the gate. “I beg your pardon. Did you drop vour handkerchief?” She whirled, resentment in her eyes and in her voice. iTarn to Page Eleven) '

CITY’S BUDGET IS APPROVED BY TAX BOARD $1.31 Figure Given 0. K.: $5,000 Voters’ Item Is Eliminated. SCHOOL LEVY STUDIED • Session May Be Called for This Afternoon, Says Leader. Tax rate of *1.31 for the city budget, set by the city council three weeks ago. was approved today by the Marion county tax adjustment board. Only change in the budget was the elimination of a $5,000 item set up for the city's share in the cost of permanent registration of voters. Siqce the county's share of the cost has not been appropriated, and apparently no attempt will be made to carry out the law, the board decided the appropriation was superfluous. With city, county and township rates already approved, the school budget alone remains for the board's consideration. Trend of the session before noon adjournment indicated that approval of the 92-cent school rate, without change, may be expected this afternoon. H Session Is Likely When the school budget is approved. the board will turn at once i to writing its order declaring an emergency and setting out the details, as required by law to raise the i total rate above $1.50. John Newhouse. board president, said the attorneys for the city, county and school board probably would be summoned this afternoon for a conference. This announcement may be taken as definite indication that early approval of the school budget is expected. The order must be written before midnight, Saturd3y. when ( the board adjourns. At noon today the total rate to be paid by Indianapolis residents in Center township appeared to be $3.13. a 2-cent reduction from original figures having been accomplished by a SIIO,OOO slash from old age pension fund, bringing the county rate to 56 cents. Officials "Play Safe” Disputes over estimated amount i of aid to be received from state taxes have been the greatest stumbling block in the board’s path in con- : sideration of city and school appropriations. With all revenue from excise, intangible and gross income sources entirely speculative, and with several hundred thousand dollars involved. there appears to be no certain method of calculation. City and school officials, wary of deficits, have "played safe” by using minimum estimates, while tax reduction advocates insist that higher figures are practical. Figures given to the board Wednesday for possible budget reductions were discarded by the board, when it appeared that there were sizable errors in the totals used in the calculations. A 38-cent reduction, represented by a city rate of $1,052 and a school rate of 86.8 cents, could be accomplished if a program suggested by Harry “Miesse, secretary of the Indiana Taxpayers' Association w r as followed. Attacks Working Balance In the city budget. Miesse attacked working balance figures, insisting that $686,185 more has been provided than in the 1933 budget. His estimates also showed a possible increase of $247,297 in miscellaneous and state revenues. Gain of $388,464 from state aid in the school budget also was shown, including gross income tax receipts estimated at $608,200. instead of $324,800. Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan, present at the meeting when Miesse's figures were explained, termed the working balance figures "ridiculous” and said they were bookkeeping figures only. Township rates approved by the board are; Center. $1.60: Decatur, 49 cents; Lawrence. $1.37; Franklin. 90 cents: Perry $1.10; Pike $1.08: Washington. 77 cents: Warren, 95 cents, and Wayne $1.43.

M'NUTT RAPS LESLIE IN PRISON PLOT PROBE Flays Ex-Governor for Failure to Warn of Escape Break. Harry G. Leslie, former Governor, today was criticised by Governor Paul V. McNutt for failing to warn officials of the Indiana state prison break, which Mr. Leslie forecast at South Bend five hours before the break. “If Mr. Leslie knew of the plot, it was his duty as a good citizen to turn the information over to the proper authorities,” Governor McNutt commented today. Mr. Leslie was reported, in a story from South Bend, to have told friends during a chat at breakfast that morale of the 2.000 prisoners was being shattered by dismissal of many veteran guards. “If this policy is continued.” he was quoted as saying, “there is going to be trouble, a big prison break or rioting.” THREE DIE IN BLAST Charred Bodies Dragged From Texas Refinery Ruins.

Jail Delivery Plot Here Is Probed; Weapon Found

Bare Robbery Man, Almost in Nude, Is Found by Police.

SERGEANT KENT YOH and squad thought they were seeing a freshman member of a nudist colony on vacation as they were cruising in vicinity of Tenth street and Indiana avenue early today. They found a man, attired only in underwear, socks and shirt, shivering in a street car booth at the corner. The man gave his name as Charles Ray, 221 North Alabama street. He said two Negroes held him up and took the remainder of his clothes. Taking him to this address, police found it to be a printing office. Officers, who said Ray had had a few drinks, locked him up for investigation.

Revolver Found Hidden in Floor of Wing Housing 70 Prisoners. Wholesale delivery of prisoners from the Marion county jail was believed thwarted by discovery of a .38 calibre revolver hidden beneath the floor of a washroom in a wing housing seventy prisoners. The weapon and several iron bars were found as result of a tip given Police Chief Mike Morrissey by a released prisoner, who said the break was set for Wednesday night. Sheriff Charles Sumner, who was out of the city when the revolver was found late Wednesday, said he believed it had been passed through a window to a prisoner by outside accomplices about 4 a. m. Wednesday. A screen on a window in the wing, known as “Bum’s Row,” was found torn loose at the bottom. “Shake Down” Prisoners All prisoners in the wing, on the north side of the first floor of the jail, were “shaken down” by deputies after the tip was received. Several iron bars were hidden in mattresses, and wire, a tire tool and angle iron wrapped in cloth, together with a pair of pliers and a i putty knife were found. Included in the prisoners in the ' wing were Ernest (Red) Gibberson, awaiting trial in th Lester Jones murder case, and Elvin Wall and William LaFrance, held on federal counterfeiting charges. Sheriff Sumner said the believed Iden Miller, whom he took to the Indiana state prison Wednesday to serve a 3 to 10-year sentence for burglary, was in on the plot because Miller pleaded that he not be taken to the prison until later. The revolver had been thoroughly disguised, a drill having been used to mutilate identifying marks, and the barrel sawed off. Locks 41 Years Old The sheriff said it would be , >ssible for a prisoner to stuff rags in the lock on a cell door and prevent the cell from being locked, thus enabling him to leave the cell in the night and obtain the weapon through the window. The cell locks are forty-one years old. he said. Explanation by Sheriff Sumner of the manner in which the revolver and tools may have been smuggled to prisoners and the possibility of release of prisoners ip a general jail break, recalled his recent remarks before the county tax adjustment board. CITIZENS WILL AID INPRISON BREAK INQUIRY McNutt Announces Committee and Trustees Will Act. A committee of prominent citizens will be appointed to aid Indiana state prison trustees in investigation of the prison break in which ten desperate convicts escaped. Governor Paul V. McNutt announced today. The Governor said Captain Matt Leach, state police head, will be one of the committee, but other members will not be announced until their acceptances have been obtained.

‘l’m Glad I Did It,’ She Says to Mother From Bed at Hospital. “I’m glad I did it, mother.” Smiling wanly through her tears, her face twisted with pain, Mary Beyerlein, 18 of 26 South Addison street, lay on a small white cot in city hospital today after jumping from a three-story window Wednesday night to prevent what she told police was an attempted criminal attack. Bending over the pretty darkhaired girl, her mother, Mrs. Sue Shadwell, stroked her daughter's forehead. > / “I’m proud of you, Mary,” she said, “I’d rather see you dead than j \ Standing behind the mother at the hospital bedside, a tense little group watched the scene. Delmas Beyerlein, 22. and Robert, 15, brothers of the injured girl, alternately clenched their fists and cried. Nellie Chadwell, 8, her stepsister, sobbed openly. “She is a good girl,” Mrs. Chadwell told reporters waiting in the hospital corridor.” She only made $4 a week in the drugstoae, but she brought every cent home to help us. Her morals were above reproach.” Tells of Tragic Party Mrs. Chadwell, a stately, lighthaired woman, told of the tragic party which ended with Mary jumping from a third-floor window of an apartment house at 431 North Illinois street. The girl told her mother that she attended the party “to hold her job.” Shortly after finding the girl lying on a pile of bricks in the rear of the North Illinois street apartment house, clad only in her underclothing, police arrested Richard Heyman, 30, of 609 East Twenty-fourth street, the girl's “boss” in a downtown drug store, and Wiliam Bowers, 24, 517 North Delaware street a clerk in the same store. Both were charged with vagrancy and held in default of $3,000 bail each to await the outcome of the girl’s condition which was reported critical at city hospital. She is suffering from internal injuries and possible fracture of the skull. Leaps Through Window The girl told her mother and police that Heyman had asked her to attend the party and when she refused, threatened her with loss of her job. Finally, she consented to go with Bowers on the understanding that another girl also would be present with Heyman. Miss Beyerlein told police that she expected the party to be held in a beer joint, but when she got to the apartment, she found herself alone with the two men. After consenting, under protest, to drink a ‘highball,’ Miss Beyerlein told police that both men attempted to attack her and when she struggled, threatened to beat her. In the struggle, she told police that one of the men tore her dress off and in a moment of freedom she hurled herself through the window, falling to the courtyard three floors below, where police found her in a semi-conscious condition. Men Deny Attack Charge Both men denied any attempted attack on. Miss Beyerlein when questioned ny detectives. “She was just crazy drunk,” Bowers is alleged to have told detectives William Miller, Thomas Barnaby and Louis Fosatti. “She was smoking marijuana cigarets and just went crazy, that's all.” Police said that Miss Beyerlein was not drunk when they questioned her. Mrs. Chadwell was indignant at Bower’s insinuation that her daughter was smoking “marijuana,” a narcotic. “Just another deliberate lie,” she said, “my daughter did smoke cigarets occasionally, but never that sort.”

INDIANA MINE RIOTING FLARES; TROOPS HELD READY TO HALT RENEWAL OF UNION DISPUTE

TROOPS JOIN IN HUNT FOR TEN CONVICTS Hope for Quick Capture of Desperadoes Abandoned by State Officers. By United Press MICHIGAN CITY, Ind.. Sept. 28. —Three companies of the state militia were ordered today to join the hunt for ten desperate criminals who broke from Indiana • State prison as hope for immediate capture of the men virtually was abandoned. The national guardsmen were ordered to assemble at Deep River, Ind., a tiny crossroads hamlet not far from Chesterton, Ind., where the last authentic sighting of the fleeing criminals was reported. A foot-by-foot search of the area north to the state prison here was planned. Principal object of the careful hunt was Sheriff Charles Neel, Corydon, Ind., kidnaped hostage of a group of the convicts. Authorities are almost certain Neel has been slain or wounded and tossed aside in some isolated sector. An elaborate trap based on information supplied by a convict tipster failed today. The convict told officers he believed the men were hiding in an abandoned shack near here. The shack was surrounded and searched but none of the men was found. In the confusion attendant of the search, an eleventh Michigan City convict calmly placed street dress over his prison uniform and walked through the gates to freedom. Trace Illinois Report By United Press OTTAWA, 111., Sept. 28.—Sheriff E. J. Welter announced today he had obtained information indicating that two of the escaped Michigan City find.) convicts passed through here Wednesday night. Ottawa Is about one hundred miles southwest of the Indiana prison. Prison officials heard Welter describe one of the men as having a long scar from his left eye down to his jawbone and immedi- j ately expressed the opinion he was Walter Dieterich, who had served two years of a life term for bank robbery. Reported in Nebraska By United Press LINCOLN, Neb., Sept. 28.—Six heavily armed men, who police believe were fugitives from the Indiana penitentiary, were sought here today after they divided in two groups. The men Wednesday night commandeered a sedan by forcing the occupants to the street at a stop crossing.

Judge Eby made his request after 500 union men raided homes of nonunion employe of the co-operative Somerville and Francisco mines. Employes were driven from their homes and ordered out of town. Windows in several houses were broken and several men were beaten. The riot was halted by Sheriff George Hitch, Prosecutor Clarence Rumer and Marshall William Brown of Oakland City. Upon their arrival at the mine, however, they reported to Judge Eby that the situation was beyond their control. The three officials pleaded with the rioters to disperse, threatening to call out the militia. Conference Is Set A conference of Gibson county officials and mine representatives was called for 11 a. m. Outcome of the meeting will be reported to Governor McNutt, who then will decide whether to carry out his intention of ordering troops to the scene. The Francisco and Somerville mines employ approximately 300 men. They work on a co-operative basis, sharing in the earnings. Many of the Francisco and Somerville miners recently came from coal fields of western Kentucky and uniorx men have charged that they were illiterate. Authorities at Oakland City recently complained that many of the non-union miners’ children were involved in a juvenile theft ring. The union miners first gathered Wednesday night on the stairway of an apartment where ten non-union men were rooming. Ordered to “Beat It” Several members of the gang went inside and ordered the men to “dress and beat it back to Kentucky.” No resistance was offered. From there the rioters went to other homes and ordered non-union workers to leave. No arrests were made but grand jury indictments against known members of the marauding bands will be sought, the sheriff said. Ranks of the raiders were augmented by a large force of high school and college students, seeking excitement, officials reported. Both the Francisco and Somerville mines were operating this morning with short crews.
