ASSEMBLY CALL PREDICTED BY STATE CHIEFS Leaders Forecast Session Early Next Year for Booze Control. FRY TO GET SUPPORT McNutt Backers See Need of Special Meeting to Clear Scene. Having routed foes of Governor Paul V. McNutt who sought a special session of the legislature, administration leaders in both house and senate today were somewhat more free in making the prediction that "perhaps a special session will be necessary early next year.” As one of the senate leaders who led the fight against the special session move at the informal legislative meeting at the Claypool yesterday said: "It ia going to be extremely difficult to rule the liquor traffic by edict, as has been done in the case of beer.”

Opinion May Support Fry When appeal becomes effective Dec. 5, it has been predicted that Governor McNutt will attempt to prescribe regulations for both manufacture and sale of liquor through rulings of Paul Fry, state excise director. This power Is expected to receive approval through an opinion now being prepared by Attorney-General Philip Lutz Jr. Governor McNutt soon will name a committee to study ways and means of handling the new liquor business and it might turn out that the committee (unless instructed) will find a special session to enact new law necessary. The Governor consistently has opposed a special session and administration leaders have supported this view on the ground that disgruntled legislators would use the occasion for a sounding board to voice their animosity against the McNutt regime. Governor Controls Moves Yesterday’s meeting served to dissipate this fear. It indicated that the Governor still controls a large working majority on the Democratic side of both houses, as he did throughout the 1933 regular session. Another {actor disclosed at the meeting still might be considered a handicap, however. That is the number of legislators now holding statehouse jobs, some as department heads. All were on hand to support the administration, and someone suggested that "the statehouse must have let out.” It has been charged by certain anti-McNutt Democrats that the government wouldn't be able to carry on during a special session with so many pivotal posts vacated by members serving in the legislature. In the past. Republicans have had one or two legislators on the state pay roll between sessions, but Governor McNutt has rewarded nearly a score directly or through the beetbusiness.

NEW SPEED TO REIGN IN AIR

Indianapolis-New York to Take 4 Hours on TWA Line

WITHIN a few months. Indianapolis citizens will be able to board a plane here early in the morning, fly to New York in four and one-half hours for luncheon and a show, or a business engagement, and fly home again the same day. This is quite a contrast from the horse and buggy era, when a trip to Indianapolis from the outlying towns of Marion county required the entire day. This one-day junket to New York and return will become p>jssible when TranscontinentalWestern Air receives delivery of Its new super-speed, super-com-fort airliners, being built by the Douglas company. The new ships will have an easy cruising speed of more than three miles a minute. First of the deluxe model planes is to be delivered to the company within the next few days, but the complete order will not be ready for use before next spring. The Douglas liners will be used on all regular TWA schedules, and, in addition on anew "blue ribbon,” or limited stop, schedule, expected to make the trip from east to west coasts in sixteen hours, or less. This service will permit New Yorkers to reach Los Angeles before delivery of a night letter telegram sent before their departure. tt tt tt WITH a high speed of mere than 215 miles an hour, the new TWA liner will have a cruising speed of 186 miles an hour, using only 75 per cent of the horsepower of its two powerful motors, of 700 horsepower each. According to present plans, only three stops will be made between Los Ar.geles and New York on the new 7 schedule. These are expected to be made at Columbus, 0., Kansas City, Mo., and Albuquerque, N. M. These few stops, saving the time ordinarily lost by more frequent landings and takeoffs, will be made possible by the 1,000 miles cruising range of the new ships. Cruising range of the present Ford trimotors is only about 600 miles. The long cruising range adds to safety of passengers as it enables pilots to cruise longer, aw’aiting a break in the w’eather before landing, and also permits them to travel around storm areas without danger of running out of fuel. While Indianapolis probably w’ill not be a stop on the limited line, passengers here will have advantage of the speedy ships on the regular schedules. It is expected schedules will be arranged so a passenger here may take a regular plane to Columbus or St. Louis, and there transfer to the "blue ribbon” planes. Company officials estimate that the new service will reduce the present six and one-half hours schedule from Indianapolis to New York to four and one-half hours, or possibly less. Before the planes are placed in service they will be operated over the route, without passengers, for a month or tw-o to work out satisfactory schedules and to give the planes a thorough test. The new’ planes will have many remarkable features in addition to speed and comfort. u n tt THEY have a ceiling of 22.000 feet, much higher than present equipment, and will be flown at high altitudes because of the greater speed attainable there, where there is less air "drag” on the plane and w’here the supercharged motors operate more efficiently. using adjustable-pitch propellers. In a recent factory test, one of the two motors of one of the new planes was shut off during the take-off run. The plane left the ground end climbed to 9,000 feet on one motor, cruising at 125

I Promise—‘Playboy’ Wiggins Still Owes S2O Fine.

C- HARLES (CHUCK) WIGGINS. the "Hoosier playboy.” added another round to his long list of court appearances yesterday when he succeeded in talking himself out of an intoxication sentence—at least temporarily. Chuck was haled before Municipal Judge Dewey Myers on a much continued charge of intoxication, based on his arrest Sept. 11. •How are you getting along, Chuck?” asked the court. "Fine, judge: how are you?” Chuck countered. "Well, how about that S2O fine and costs you were supposed to pay when I suspended that sixtydav jail sentence last July?” asked Judge Myers. "The probation department tells me you haven't paid the fine and you reported only once." Smiling broadly. Chuck sparred with the explanation he had been in St. Louis organizing anew gymnasium, for which he was to be athletic director, adding that he would pay the fine, if ever he got the money. Judge Myers continued the case until Dec. 14, warning Wiggins to pay the S2O before that time, or the new gymnasium would have to hunt another athletic director. Coal Theft Suspect Held Charles Wright. Negro. 57. of 341 West Middle street, was arrested last night after Horace Page, proprietor of the Page Coal Company. 341 West Tenth street, told police he recognized Wright as one of three men he saw attempting to steal coal from the company's yards.

Here are two views of the new speedy Douglas monoplanes being built for Transcontinental & Western Air. which, when placed in service next spring, will make coast-to-coast schedules of about sixteen hours possible. The ship is shown in flight, above, while one of the comfortable seats in the luxurious, soundproof cabin, is shown below.

miles an hour, the cruising speed of present Ford equipment with all three motors operating. The planes seat fourteen passengers in two rows of seven seats each, but, by addition of a third row of seats in the wide aisle, can be made to accommodate twentyone passengers, besides baggage and air mail. Comfort of the individual seats in the new plane is one of its unusual features. Deeply upholstered, they are tw’enty-four inches wide, and have as many adjustments as a barber’s chair. They permit the passenger to face in any direction, or to lie within 10 degrees of horizontal. Conversation in normal tones can be heard from one end of the sound-proofed cabin to the other, while a loud whisper easily is audible to the passenger in the seat across the aisle. The cabin is said to be as sound-proof as a Pullman. Unusual height of the ceiling permits a man six feet tall and wearing a hat to walk upright, with room to spare. Aisles are wide, and unobstructed the length of the plane. In a recent test of the new steam-heating equipment on the plane, it W’as flown to a height of 15.000 feet where. W’ith the thermometer outside registering close to freezing, passengers were perspiring within five minutes after the heat was turned on.

(Continued from Page One) acceded. There was a little matter of money a a a THE chimes in Christ church were striking noon when Bob emerged from his office. The conference in Washington had lasted so long that his special plane had left before he had had time for breakfast. He intended to get a sandwich nearby and then start setting up his undercover organization. At the door he almost collided with a girl who was about to enter Breen's office. "Bob!” ‘‘Hello, Aval Come and have lunch with me, will you?” ’ Ava Breen, a slender, dark-haired girl with sparkling blue eyes and pert nose, hesitated doubtfully. She didn't know just how to treat Bob Martyne any more—since she had grown up. and things had become so complicated. "I'm supposed to meet Dolly here and drive her up to Crow’s Nest. She's going to stay with friends for a few' days,” she said at length. “All right. Won’t your father take care of her until we get back? I want to talk to you.” "Bob.” regretfully, “you know Lionel doesn't like to have me ” “The dickens with Lionel St. George!” Ava's eyes widened, but she said nothing. Mr. Breen joined them. “What do you say. Mr. Breen? Will you take care of young Miss Dolly if she arrives while Ava is lunching with me?” “It's all right with me, Bob, if Ava ” Ava smiled her brilliant smile. After all, she did like * Bob very much, and Lionel couldn't fairly monopolize her—yet. “Well, if you insist!" she said. Bob grasped her hand. Nations may be in distress, enemies may threaten mankind—but when a man and a girl look into each other's faces as these two did, time stands still. “I ll be back about 1 o'clock.” Bob told the switchboard operator. a a a AS they entered the elevator a dark man peered around a corner after them, and somewhere a telephone bell rang insistently. Ava drove him over to the Clavpool. A tall man with a Van Dyke beard and moustache waited near the door. “Lionel!’’ Ava exclaimed. “Hello, dear. I hoped to surprise

St. George shook hands rather stiffly. “We have met previously. All right, dear. I’ll have to beg to be excused; I have a most important appointment. I’ll see you tonight.” Pressing her hand, he bowed and strode away. It was nearly 1 when Bob and Ava, after a rather uncomfortable lunch, approached the postoffice again. Traffic was heavy around the circle. They found a parking place on Ohio street, next to the school board building, and Bob held the door open for Ava. "Next time,” he said, “I’ll be the chauffeur.” At that moment there was a gigantic explosion. It came—Crash!— like a thunderclap, tearing at their eardrums, shaking the downtown district of Indianapolis. The west wing of the postoffice building erupted, hug£ chunks of masonry hurtling through the air like rock fragments from a volcano. Meridian street was full of flying stone, timbers and glass. A solid wall of expanding air struck Bob and Ava and hurled them against the automobile. The upper part of the wing of the postoffice building trembled, rocked from side to side, and toppled. Shielding Ava's body with his ow r n. Bob awaited apprehensively another explosion. After a moment, when none came, he warned her to stay in the car and ran toward the postoffice. ana THE street was smoky, and. underfoot. debris was several inches deep. It was a scene of terrific confusion. Automobiles parked in Meridian street and on Ohio street had been tossed aside like toys, and lay on their sides, or piled one on top of another. Fire was beginning to spread in the postoffice. Here and there lay a prone figure, pedestrians who had been knocked down by the blast, Bob ran to several, but found none badly hurt. The clang of fire engine gongs and the wail of police cars were audible through the frightened cries of the gathering crowd. And above it all Bob heard the drone of an airplane. „ A uniformed policeman, who had been on traffic duty, was able to get up with Bob's assistance. He had been struck by a slab of stone glancing off the Board of Trade building. “An airplane dived right down at me,' he gasped, “and just as I was

ments to tell him w’hat the plane is doing than would be found in a watch factory. Air brakes on the lower side of the wings reduce the new plane’s landing speed to less than sixty miles an hour, adding to the safety factor. This permits the plane to land safely in much smaller fields than smaller and slower planes could do.

wonderin' if it was out of control, everything went black.” "Let’s see what’s inside the postoffice,” Bob urged. “May be some hurt.” He led the way through the Pennsylvania and Ohio entrance. A clerk was clambering toward him, through the “outgoing mail" window. “Any hurt in there?” Bob asked. “No. Scared a little, that's all. But it looks bad upstairs. a a a THE ceiling had collapsed at the west end of the corridor, wrecking the postmaster’s and assistant postmaster's offices, and damaging the supply room. A hurried search, however, located no casualties. "All out at lunch, I guess," hazarded one of Bob’s companions. Firemen and police rushed into the building at this juncture,. and they led the way upstairs. They found two men lying at the elevator shaft door, apparently struck down as they waited there. Climbing through the wreckage of the special delivery office, they found a postman unconscious. An ambulance surgeon looked him over. “Not serious,” he said. On the second floor the damage was so great a wrecking crew, with axes and acetylene torches, had to cut the way through. A stag’s cloven hoof, from a desk in one room, had been blown into the corridor ceiling, and a portrait of ex-President Herbert Hoover tossed into the washroom. Not an injured person was found there, however, nor on the top floor, where the internal revenue collection service offices had been wrecked. The explosion had apparently centered on the top floors of the building; more than that they could not tell at first. The universal custom in Indianapolis of eating during the noon hour had undoubtedly saved scores of lives. Police fines had been drawn to hold back the crowd, and Bob found Police Chief Mike Morrissey had set up emergency headquarters on the postoffice steps. Bob introduced himself. “Any estimate of the injured, Chief?" “About fifty. I should say. mostly minor—bruises, cuts and shock. It's a miracle a lot of them weren’t killed.” “Any eyewitness story that's worth anything?" “You mean who set the bomb off? No, not yet; but were working on it. May be just another one of these blackhand cases." “I don't believe it’s a black hand job,” Bob said. He would have explained further, but the Chief was too busy to listen to him just them ,

CONRAD MANN IS PARDONED BY ROOSEVELT Eagles’ Official Is Saved From Prison Term on "\ Lottery Charge. DAVIS CASE IS CLOSED Federal Campaign Against Lodge Pools Ended by Order. By United Press NEW YORK. Nov. 16 —Conrad H. Mann today expressed gratification for a presidential pardon wTiich saved him from serving a five months’ sentence on charges of violation of the federal lottery laws. He returns to Kansas City today. ‘“The President apparently took into consideration that no moral turpitude w’as involved and that the charity affairs were honestly conducted honestly,” Mann’s attorney, Clyde Taylor, said. “The law under which Mr. Mann was convicted was technical.” Bernard C. McGuire, professional promoter, convicted w’ith Mann on charges of promoting a lottery through the Fraternal Order of Eagles, w’ffe taken to the Lewisburg (Pa.) federal penitentiary to begin serving of his one-year-and-a-day sentence. President Roosevelt signed a pardon earlier in the week for Frank E. Hering, who was convicted with Mann, and sentenced to a four months’ term. Louis Mead Treadwell of the United States attorney’s office disclosed that the remaining lottery charge against Senator James J Davis of Pennsylvania had been nolle prossed. Settlement of the Mann and Davis lottery cases completes the government’s campaign against lotteries in connection with fraternal orders, Treadwell announced.

THE business district of Indianapolis was in a state of wild excitement. As far as Bob could see the crowds extended, frightened faces turned toward the scene of the catastrophe. Panic-stricken women, fearing their relatives had been killed, fought with police who strove to maintain room for the ambulance surgeons. An emergency dressingstation had been set up in the middle of Meridian street, and the injured lay on improvised cots all around it. Ed McHugh, veteran head of the Indianapolis office of the U. S. secret service, came up to Bob. “We've got a special wire set up to Washington, Major Martyne,” he said. “There is a call on it for you.” Bob followed him to a shop on North Pennsylvania street, one of the few in the vicinity which had not been damaged by the blast. His chief was on the wire. “Hello, Major Martyne?” “Yes, sir.” “We have just heard about the explosion. Were you hurt?” "No, sir. Missed me by about sixty seconds. But a lot of innocent persons were injured, sir.” “Do you need the Red Cross?” “I don't think so, sir. The local authorities are doing wonderful work.” "If no one was killed we came out of it fortunately. Has the mail been saved?” "I understand Postmaster Seidensticker is surveying the damage now. The fire has been extinguished.” "Good. Now. listen carefully. I tried to reach you by telephone just before noon, and got no answer.” “I had just gone out to lunch.” “I wanted to warn you. Another alarming letter has been received.” “From—the same party,” “Yes. It threatens you with death if you do not drop your- investigation at once, and demands immediate mass retreat from Marion county. “How did he learn of my assignment so quickly?” “I don't know. The letter arrived soon after your plane left here. That is a most sinister phase of it. But there is no doubt the threat is genuine.” “You are sure?” “Yes—the signature is the same—a grinning black skull with outspread wings, like a human bird of prey.'' “Signed by—?” “Yes, signed by 'Black Hawk, Phantom of Indiana.” Tomorrow—The Black Hawk demands immediate evacuation of ali persons from Marion county. How can he be thwarted?

The “Minstrel Man’s’’ professed aim in life is not to eke out an existence but to cheer the multitudes caught in the toils of economic chaos. This, he insists, and not the unusual aspect that, he and his canine companions present, is the reason why he attracts greater crowds than any other street entertainers, and has people following him even when he is not performing. n a a ALBERT was born in New York City. His boyhood was distinguished only by his love of song—and sandlot baseball. Nineteen twenty-seven is the “red letter” year in the “Minstrel Man’s” life. Until that time he had tried vainly to persuade Manager John J. McGraw of the N. Y. Giants to give him a tryout as pitcher. Unable to win his point, he switched his plea, asking for a tryout as mascot, to keep the team “pepped up” with music. The Giants were playing the last game of a series with the Pittsburgh Pirates, pennant rivals. McGraw consented to Albert's plea, and that afternoon, before the game, Albert appeared in the team's clubroom, with a ukelele, to sing inspiring melodies. With the “Minstrel Man’s” music ringing in their ears, the Giants promptly w*ent out on the field and 9-3. Albert's star with the Giants had set. But Albert can explain. It seems the Pirates got wind of McGraw's intention to beat them with music and lured the “Minstrel Man” into the Pirates’ quarters first. There Albert sang for the Pittsburg aggregation. “I could tell they were the winning team,” says the “Minstrel Man,” “they responded better to the music.” • m m IT was in December of the same year that Albert acquired his second dog. For some years he had Fritz, a German police dog.

FARM BUREAU OUTLINES NEW TAX PROGRAM Elimination of Property Levy Except for Local • Government Asked. CONVENTION IN SESSION State President Favors Inflation: ‘Future Bright,’ He Says. * New and indirect taxation for payment of educational costs, and elimination of taxes on property for all except local government, will be the future program of the Indiana Farm Bureau. The program was outlined by Lewis Taylor, tax and legislative director of the bureau, to delegates at the annual convention yesterday in the Odd Fellow’ auditorium. ‘The time has come when all the people should pay all the bill for education, thus bringing to the poor district aid of the concentrated wealth of cities, many of which have grow’n great and wealthy by processI ing and manufacturing the raw products derived from those poor districts,” Mr. Taylor declared. Fights Income Repeal Criticising reported movement of a group to repeal the gross income tax and for a low property tax, net income tax with low exemptions and a retail sales tax high enough to make up the deficiency, and which merchants would be compelled to add to retail cost, Mr .Taylor said: "It seems strange a merchant can not pass the present 1 per cent gross income tax on to the buyer when he heretofore has been able to pass on freight, interest, labor bills, property tax and overhead without mandate of the law.” He urged founding of co-operative banks by farmers as protection against respectable financial racketeers.” "We have within our hands the means of taking away from these financial ghouls our money, upon w’hich they have grown so great,” he said. “By using it strictly for our owti farm use. w r e can release ourselves from a bondage that is more than an idle threat.” An amendment to the $1.50 property tax law striking out the emergency clause also w r as advo- | cated. President William H. Settle urged a form of currency inflation that would give the farmer debt and taxpaying powers until price parity can be achieved. Praises Anti-Strike Stand Pointing to the $3,500,000 offered to Indiana farmers to’ reduce their wheat acreage, and $20,000,000 to reduce corn acreage and hog production, Mr. Settle said farmers today have a brighter future than at any time "since I can remember.” "I am extremely proud of Indiana farmers,” he said. “You have not permitted yourselves to be led aw’ay with the holiday strike idea or any other erroneous doctrine from which only disaster, death and disappointment could be expected. It is only through constructive, united efforts by organized farmers that the economic victory w’ill be won.”

The dog could catch a rubber ball thrown sixty feet. The “Minstrel Man saw the second dog, an English bull, in the Union Square Subway Station, New York City, dashing madly b-ack and forth along the platform, in imminent danger of jumping into the path of an oncoming train. “Some people say that dogs can’t think, but I believe differently,” says the “Minstrel Man.” “I could see the dog was lost, probably it was desperate and intended to commit suicide by throwing itself under the train. Well, I'm not trying to make a hero of myself, but I saved him. I brought him home and named him Laddie Hoy.’ By that time, Alfred says, he had foreseen the coming depression, so he and his dogs set out on the road to spread the gospel of good cheer. It was pretty difficult catching freights with the dogs. Albert would grab a dog by the collar, catch a train, then after depositing his first ward, descend and catch up the second who was racing alongside the train. So Albert, man of destiny, Is traveling the length and breadth of these United States urging the people to “Smile, Smile. Smile,” and keep their “Sunnyside Up” with all the sounds and effects a tenor voice, and a crooner’s trumpet can achieve. C. C. C. IN NEW HOME Dunes State Park Outfit to Movo Into Winter Barracks.
