FIND IRON BARS AT JAIL HERE SAWED; SEARCH FOR TOOLS Woman, Held for Questioning, Signs Statement About Plot to Free Alleged Killers, Officers Claim. JOHN DEAN IS HELD INCOMMUNICADO Scheme to Blow Up Gunner’s Cage, Effect Release of Slayer Suspects, Had Gone Far, Assert Prison Heads. Additional evidence that the plot to dynamite and deliver the Marion county jail had gone far was found today when officials at the jail revealed that four iron bars in the basement supply room at the prison had been sawed. An immediate search was made for saws and other tools which officials thought might still be hidden in the jail. It was pointed out by deputy sheriffs that the supply room, located in an unfrequented part of the prison, offered an easy way to effect a getaway by escaping prisoners. A hunch, it was learned today, inspired Charles (Buck)

Sumner, Marion county sher- [ iff, to fortify the jail a month ajro. Yesterday, he revealed a plot to free the alleged slayers of Sergeant Lester Jones and dynamite the jail.! A woman, whose husband is a prisoner in the jail, w’as held for i questioning by detectives. She said,! in a purported signed statement to ; police yesterday, that she had in- ; troduced John Gordon, trusty, who ' is serving a sentence for burglary, to John Dean, brother of Edward (Foggy Dean, alleged trigger man in the slaying of Sergeant Jones. Dean and Gordon were held for i a hearing Dec. 4. Charged with vagrancy, John Dean is held incommunicado. in default of $5,000 bond. In the purported statement, police say, the woman stated that Gordon had dates with her in the jail garage and took her to and from her home in a county automobile. In her purported statement, the woman said that John Dean was the “outside man” in the plot. She is said to have related that he smuggled two loaded revolvers and two sacks of ammunition into the old road patrol office of the jail garage with the aid of Gordon. Dean, according to police, was to have smuggled dynamite into the jail on the day of the proposed break to blow up the steel machine gun cage, erected in an anteroom of the jail by Sheriff Sumner about j a month ago when the ‘‘terror mob” of escaped convicts was running beserk in the state. Refused Aid, Is Claim In the intricate plot to free the accused slayers of Sergeant Jones, the jail barber, Hershel Towler. a federal convict, since taken to the Atlanta penitentiary, refused to aid in the plans to smuggle arms into the prisoners, it was asserted. Towler. police said, was given the j impression that Dean and Gordon were to smuggle small packages into the prisoners, each of w-hieh j was to contain pistols and ammu- I nit ion. In her purported statement to the police, the woman held for ques- j tioning said: I •On Nov. 7. 1933, Jorn Gordon j came to my house and I rode to I the jail garage with him. While Gordon was doing some work in ; the garage. I sat iu the garage office j reading. About thirty minutes after I we arrived at the garage John Dean , came into the garage and asked me where Gordon was. Statement Is Quoted ‘•Dean walked to the back of the garage where Gordon was and they, talked for about fifteen minutes. | Dean went out the front door and Gordon took me home.” In the alleged statement the woman said that Gordon first appeared at her house Oct. 29 and asked for her husband. Then on Nov. 1. the woman said, a man who she learned was John Dean called at her'home and said: “I learned from my uncle, Ernest (Red* Gibberson (one of the alleged Jones slayers', who is in the county jail, that vou know a man whoworks in the jail garage.” Revolvers Are Found The woman, according to police, admitted that she knew Gordon and that Dean then asked her to introduce him to Gordon because he had a “kite.” <a letter) and also a package of Mirajuana cigarets which he wanted to send to the fellows “in, middle east.” the cell tiers housing the Jones slayer suspects. In her statement, the police said, the woman then told how she effected the introduction of Dean and Gordon and how the package containing revolvers and ammunition was to be smuggled into the jail at night. Shortly after the plans had been about completed. Sheriff Sumner, who has been suspicious of a jail delivery for more than a month, discovered the revolvers and ammunition hidden in the office of the old road patrol. Taken Into Custody When the barber. Tovler. told of the efforts to involve him in the plot. Sumner laid plans to capture Dean. Dean appeared late Wednesday at the jail and was taken into custody. Corroboration of the jail break story was furnished by Miss Thelma Hall. 21. of 614 East Ninth street, whose father is a prisoner at the jail, police said. She told police, officers claimed. that she was approached at her

home in May, 1933, by John Dean, who asked her to take a message to Red Gibberson “that guns would come through the jail garage.” The plot to deliver the prisoners in May was frustrated because of the suspicion of the sheriff at that time, it was declared. The alleged slayers of Sergeant Jones, who was killed with machine gun bullets when he walked into the Peoples Motor Coach Company garage, Twenty-second and Yandes streets, during a holdup, include five men held in the county jail and two in Hamilton county jail, Noblesville. Those held here in addition to Red Gibberson and Foggy Dean, include Fred Adams, George Schwartz and Willard Kelly. Those held in Noblesville are William Mason and Edward Miller.

The late Dr. David Starr Jordan and a few famous “quotes.” BY BASIL GALLAGHER Times Staff Writer

IT is a far cry from the vine-covered Butler campus at Irvington in 1878 to the modern plant of the university on the Fairview campus, which is the scene of a current academic uproar. But despite the march of time which has changed radically not only the styles in students’ clothing, but also the entire educational outlook, investigation by The Times disclosed that even in that distant day, the “downtown office” held the same czar-like sway over Butler’s educators which marked the summary dismissal of Dr. Walter Scott Athearn, president, recently.

- Dr. Athearn, it was learned today, was dismissed, primarily because he attempted to broaden the attitude of Butler’s college of religion and to raise its standards. Research by The Times today also reveals that Dr. David Starr Jordan, president of Leland Stanford university in California, from 1891 to 1913, who taugh zoology and biology at Butler from 1878 to 1879, resigned before he was dismissed for about the same reasons by the university board of directors, as was Dr. Athearn a few weeks ago. v n a DR. JORDAN, who died in 1931, was regarded as one of the foremost educators of his time. He taught Herbert Hoover and Ray Lyman Wilbur, former secretary of the navy, when both were students at the California university. He was the author of numerous books and was an internationally known authority on zoology. His numerous academic posts included the presidency of Indiana university. In Dr. Jordan's book, “The Days of a Man,” published in 1922, he has this to say of Butler and the rule of the downtown office: “The academic years of 1878 to 1879 proved to be my last years at Butler. They were pleasant years, but soon the institution was torn into two factions. One wished to make the college purely a feeder to the Christian church, the other to forward its growing relations with modern scholarship and also to meet the local requirements of the city of Indianapolis. “The first group took up the complaints of many of the rural clergy, who .felt hurt by the election of professors not of their faith. Although both the founder, Ovid Butler, who controlled a majority of the corporation stock, and Dr. A. C. Jameson, the broadminded president of the board of trustees, were strongly opposed to the sectarian movement. a a a “TYUTLER and Jameson refused JD to interfere, however, and the majority of the trustees voted to vacate the three chairs held by individuals not belonging to the Christian church. “Unfortunately, the president. Dr. Otis A. Burgess, a man of considerable ability, finally joined their forces, to the great injury of his standing in the city. “The trustees’ decision created a storm, for the teachers concerned were much beloved, especially in Indianapolis, where Catherine Merrill, professor of English, had been for years an inspiration to all, young and old. who were interested in literature. “Scarcely less appreciated, apparently, was my friend, Dr. Melville B. Anderson, who held the chair of modern languages and who then went to Knox college. •The third of the beloved ‘heretics' was Charles E Hollenbeck, the librarian. "And as Butler was largely dependent upon the city patronage, the attempt to revive denominational intolerance greatly hurt the institution.” man DR. JORDAN goes on to say that he resigned, knowing that he would be the "next heretic” to be discharged from the university. “During the weeks of dissension.” he says in his book, “before my departure. I took a strong stand against the proposed changes, severely criticising the president for yielding to pressure, which, in my judgment, he really disapproved.” At the end of the chapter dealing with Butler, Dr. Jordan pointed out that his successor, Dr. Oliver E. Hay, who was elected because he was a member of the Christian church, was supposed to be an anti-evolutionist, “later

turned out to have quite as radical views on Darwinism as my own.” In a footnote. Dr. Jordan explains that Miss Merrill, for whom the Catherine Merrill Literary Society of Indianapolis is named, was reinstated through her influence with Ovid Butler. She held the chair of English until her voluntary retirement in 1883. Later Ovid Butler endowed the “Catherine Merrill chair” at Butler. - ‘ . . %

Russian Recognition to Come Today, Roosevelt Indicates; Parleys Ending By United Press WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.—The United States was expected to renew diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union today, ending a sixteen-year breach between the two world

powers. Emerging from the White House this afternoon, after a two and a quarter hours conference with the President. Maxim Litvinoff said that he supposed there would be a statement on Soviet-American relations issued by Mr. Roosevelt this afternoon. Replying to questions Litvinoff said: “I have no intention of going to Warm Springs. I still have a number of affairs to attend to in Washington, however, and shall probably remain here for some days." Even while the two were conferring. army trucks moved diplomatic files of the old Russian imperial government from its white stone embassy on Sixteenth street. They were to be examined by state department and Soviet officials. The announcement of Soviet recognition was expected to take the form of a joint statement by thePresident and Mr. Litvinoff, who have been exploring Soviet-Ameri-can problems for the last ten days. Only some last minute hitch, it was indicated, would prevent the recognition announcement, possibly at the President’s press conference late-today.

PERJURY B CHARGED TO FORMER MEYER-KISER HEADS BY AUDITOR IN REPORT FILED WITH COURT

11,500.000 TO BE EDGED TO WEEKLY STATE POV ROU AS 1004H0 GET FEDERAL MB McNutt Explains Giant Project to Chairmen; ' 30,000 to Be Taken Off Relief Rolls Monday; 10,050 County Quota. The state of Indiana will boost its weekly pay roll $1,500,000 and Marion county $150,000 with the culmination of plans laid before county and district unemployment chairmen today by Governor Paul V. McNutt in the Claypool.

Without mincing words, the Governor told the three hundred district and county chairmen that the federal government’s plan to put men on a pay basis instead of a relief basket for the ensuing four months was not a tax-reduc-tion measure. Marion county’s quota is 10.050 unemployed men. “This is not play. You must put men to work on worthwhile projects. They can not tee placed at work removing snow, or collecting garbage. This placing of 100,000 men in the state at work is not to be used in reducing governmental costs," he declared. “The men are to receive 50 cents an hour for unskilled labor and $1.20 an hour for skilled labor on a basis of a thirty-hour week beginning this Monday or as quick as you can find the projects for them.” the Governor told the unemployment commissioners. “You, through £ach county, must provide the tools, equipment and material for the work. If a local government hasn’t the money for Here ire the rules for the Man Without a Job: Relief offices can not accept applications for work in Marion county. Before Dec. 1, the relief offices will select people on the regular relief rolls for employment at 50 cents an hour for a period of thirty hours a week.

But if you can provide the material—you must. “This is no time for local patriots to try and get all they can,” he declared. Up to Dec. 1, 30,000 of the workers will be taken from the regular county and township relief rolls. After Dec. 1, the man on relief must compete with the man who has not been on relief, but is un-

Murderers of Rich California Youth Admit Firing Shots Into Drowning Man

By United Press SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 17.—One of the two confessed kidnapers and slayers of Brooke Hart, 22, emptied shots from a revolver into the youth as he struggled in the water of San Francisco bay prior to his death last Thursday night, federal agents charged they bared new details of alleged confessions. The officers attributed the act of brutality to Thomas Harold Thurmond, 28, who with John Holmes, 29, father of two young children, confessed kidnaping young Hart, slugging him, and throwing him

employed, for the other 70,000 jobs, the Governor explained. Checks for work will be disbursed through the United States veterans’ bureau and local disbursing officers to be named by the new organization created—the civil works administration of Indiana. The Governor’s unemployment commission, headed by William H. Book, will form the new civil works body. In his talk, the Governor forecast that many projects in which federal aid or loans played a part would be returned to the states for visa, when he said, “If this civil works is successful, I think the future will see all public works handled through the state, instead of by the federal government.” Re-Employ 30,000 The 30,000 men on relief rolls are to be re-employed through county chairmen of the unemployment commission and township trustees. But, after Dec. 1, all employment on the vast program of civil works in the state will "be handled by the federal re-employment agencies in each of forty-two counties of the state, the Governor said. “There’s nothing political in this. Men must be hired regardless of whether they are Socialists, Democrats or Republicans,” he asserted. Projects now pending before the federal public works board can not be used in the civil works plan, explained the Governor. Useless Projects Banned “But in time, many of those projects are expected to be returned to the civil works administration for approval for use in employing men,” he said. “These projects will not go to Washington for approval. You must not let this plan fall through useless projects. You can’t erect buildings or do other functions of a government with these men. This is primarily for the payment of wages. It’s pp to us to play the game and it’s the most important game’ since the World war,” the Governor declared. In explaining worthy and beneficial projects, Wayne Coy, secretary of the relief commission and civil works board, said trees could be planted in parks, municipally owned buildings and school houses could be repaired, additions to boulevarq systems, grades for street extensions, levee work in flood prevention, cleaning of streams and river banks. Aged on Relief Rolls “It is the relief organization's job and township trustees to provide food for the men by baskets until they can get pay for worthwhile projects. Destitute aged men and women will remain on the relief rolls,” Mr. Coy said. He said that relief roll workers now employed on state highway widenings would receive a raise from 40 cents to 50 cents an hour. ‘.‘Every unemployed man will be guaranteed 130 hours work a month. After Dec. 1, the men employed, who have not been on relief rolls, will be investigated to determine their need and only, the needy will receive the jobs," asserted Mr.-. Coy. Other Meetings Set Application blanks to be filled out giving data on the projects were being filled out this morning by district and county chairmen of the unemployment commission. Many of the chairmen expected to begin the job of taking their quota of workers off relief rolls beginning Monday. The first pay checks will be mailed out next Saturday. This afternoon, the plan for providing work for approximately 100,000 was explained to mayors of Indiana cities, county commissioners, school board members and school superintendents.

Painter, certified by Judge Cox, completed an in progress since May. i Findings in the report will jbe turned over to Alvah i Rucker, special circuit court 1 investigator, who will determine whether grand jury action is advisable, according to Thomas E. Garvin, receiver. Mr. Garvin emphatically denied this morning that he had said grand jury investigation of the bank is pending. He pointed out that such action is not within his province as receiver, and that the determ.'nation of future action rests with Mr. ! Rucker. • I Much of the information in tha auditor’s report was used in framing questions asked Sol Meyer, former bank president, in a public hearing in circuit court this week. The hearing was continued inj definitely on request of Mr. Garvin and his attorney, Walter Myers, to enable them to make further investigations. Summary Is Given Numerous facts of “particular significance” are listed in the opening of the report as basis for possible criminal action against the former bank officials. The summary follows : “Through a systematic practice of manipulation of the accounts of the bank, and its affiliated partnerships, 1 individuals, and corporations, the directors and officers of the bank [ made false statements of the bank’s affairs. ! “The bank’s money was loaned in large amounts to affiliated partner- ! ships, individuals and corporations, ! and related corporations. “The bank’s assets were donated to affiliated corporations. Claim Assets Not Owned “Certain assets recorded as belonging to the bank, are not now owned, and have not been accounted for. “Staple assets belonging to the bank, consisting of federal and mu- | nicipal bonds, and high grade stocks, were sold, and the proceeds of such sales were used to acquire and support bonds on Florida properties, then in default and since depreciated to a great extent. “Bad loans and depreciated assets \ were carried at face and cost values, in the accounts, and the officials failed to charge off such losses and depreciated amounts as they ocI curred. ; “Money was advanced to -Indiana realty companies, with which to pay preferred stock and dividends coming due, in which it was then ap- ; parent that such advances consti- ; tuted long time loans and speculaj tive transactions; the preferred ; stock paid off with such cash ad- ! vances was subsequently turned over to the bank, in payment of the advances, and the due dates of the stock were then extended, and such stock now is held by the receiver in a large aggregate amount; all of which apparently was done to support the said preferred stock issues, originally sold by the bank to its customers, and which had faced default. “Large salaries were paid officers of the bank, at the time when tha bank was in a failing condition. Borrowing Is Charged “Large sums of money were bori rowed from other banks, in order to keep the bank open and going, with the officials pledging as collateral security for payment of such loans, the best and apparently hand picked assets belonging to the bank, and apparently in larger amounts was customary or necessary; and j furthermore, it was not known from I published reports that such asset* were so pledged.’’ Under the heading “liquidating period” the audit report discusses iTnm to Page Six)
