Clarence A. Jackson Avoids Committing Himself at Meeting. By Times Special NEWCASTLE, Ind., Jan. 27.—Clarence A. Jackson, director of the state income tax department, was boomed here last night at a Tenth district Democratic meeting as a candidate for the United States senate, in the presencee of R. Earl Peters, who previously had announced his candidacy. However, Mr. Jackson said, "in the conduct of our offficial duties we have studiously avoided promoting ourself or any other individual for any offfice. There are several reasons W’hy I do not believe this is a propitious time to officially announce even if my mind is made up. "Let us wait awhile and see, if in the opinion of Democrats in other parts of the state, I happen to fit the requirements necessary for Democratic candidate for senator in Indiana this year.” These remarks were interpreted by political experts as meaning that Mr. Jackson was waiting for some public sign of approval from Governor Paul V. McNutt before he launched his campaign. The Governor has remained silent thus far on who his favorite will be. The Governor, principal speaker at the meeting, made an indirect reference to the senatorial contest by asserting, “my sole interest is the election of the entire Eemocraic ticket.” Mr. Peters, former state Democratic chairman, received a hearty welcome when he w r as introduced. He declared that he would be proud to join Frederick Van Nuys and with him serve under “the matchless leadership of Franklin D. Roosevelt.” Mr. ePetrs made no reference to Governor McNutt’s administration other than to say that critics should give the neew T laws and their administration fair trial.

A WIRE received late yesterday advised Mrs. George Walker, 4628 North Manlove avenue, and Mrs. Sophia Shelby, 4621 Hoey street, of the safety of their two nieces, Mary Stifle, 14, and Pauline Stifle, day in a hut, wher they had taken refuge during a blizzard in Win--18, and their nephew, Vernon, 12. The children were rescued Wednes-
nipeg. Manitoba, Canada. According to the message received by Mrs. Walker and Mrs. Shelby, the children were overcome by the blizzard as they were crossing a lonely three-mile stretch of open country on their way home from school. Blinded by the storm, they lost their way and took refuge in the abandoned shack. The children’s father. Edward Stifle, almost perished in a futile search for them. He abandoned the hunt when darkness came. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police resumed the search and found the children alive, but suffering from exposure in the unheated shelter, with temperature outside at 20 below zero. The message to the two Indianapolis women said the children were recovering from the exposure. The blizzard was recorded as one of the worst in recent history of that section.

It was alleged that while the regular truck driver was ill the foreman had others drive it, but had the ill man sign the pay roll, the foreman collecting the money and paying the other drivers.

FAVOR PUBLIC OWNERSHIP OF CITYJTILITIES Efforts of Sherman Minton Indorsed at Meeting of Civic Clubs. Public ownership of utilities for Indianapolis was strongly advocated at a meeting of the Federation of Community Civic Clubs last night at the Washington.

A copy of the resolution will be sent to Mr. Minton. “We must own and operate oui utilities,” said William Bosson, public utilities committee chairman. “Profits from municipally owned gas, water and electric plants have in many cases lowered taxes immensely, while providing service to patrons at a cost below the average. Industries are attracted by the cheap power rates.” The meeting also adopted a resolution asking that delinquent tax sales set for Feb. 12 be postponed until next year, and a permanent committee was picked to co-operate with existing agencies in smoke abatement work.

DILLINGER MOB FANCIED SOFT LIFEIN EXILE Ready to Quit U. S. for Good When Captured, Experts Say. John Dillinger and his gang realized they had come to the end of their sensational and meteoric career when they were captured in Tucson, Ariz., according to crime experts. Only seventy-five miles from the Mexican border, where they might become lost to United States authorities, Dillinger, together with three men and four women, were prepared for immediate flight. The theory is thus supported by reports obtained from time to time from former friends of Dillinger and his mobsters. The gang had made large hauls from several swift-striking bank holdups in Indiana, Ohio, Illinois and Wisconsin. In the rooms where they were lodged was found $38,000 in money and jewels, together with a complete arsenal of bristling arms and ammunition, with which they might shoot their way to freedom if captured. Tucson, far away from the scene of their crimes, was one of the last places they expected to be seized. Planned Easy Life With the loot they had obtained from holdups, they might easily spend the remainder of their lives in obscure luxury in South America. They feared that the end, the capture which they all dreaded, might come to them if they continued their marauding raids in the United States. The police net was tightening and they knew it. Their pictures were pasted on police station bulletin boards throughout the land. It is probable that the group met separately in Tucson for a rendezvous, but only as a stopping place. Charles Makely had registered as a transient in a Tucson hotel. When it burned, the gang was forced to seek another hiding place. They rented a house, bought a radio, and were so deceived by the quiet life of the hot sun-baked city .that they ventured to walk on the streets. The women were all avowed sweethearts of the mobsters and planned with them to slip quietly away to some safe haven. It is doubtful whether they all planned to live together, but rather to divide the loot and then scatter by twos. Knew Capture Was Near These plans mark them as some of the most canny criminals that ever have run wild in the United States. They knew that sooner or later the law claimed those who lived in the alleys of crime. They would strike swiftly, gather a fortune and spend the rest of their lives in idle ease. Such a plan has been conceived in the minds of authors, and frequently European criminals have fled to the outposts of the world, but never has a band of criminals together planned such a stupendous scheme. The flaw in every scheme, no matter how bold or how logical, caught up with the mobsters and their “molls.” Slight chance, playing an important part in the lives of those who live desperately, checkmated them when the hotel caught fire and Markely was recognized, an unpredictable twist of fate. The blustering shout of, “We’ll fight our way out,” was lost as they were captured only a few feet away from where a death-dealing arsenal was stored.
