PIERPONT KILLED SHERIFF, SHOUSE TELLS OFFICIALS Dillinprer Gangster Identifies Trigger Man’ as Slayer of Lima (0.) Officer in Delivery of Leader. CONFESSION VOLUNTARY, IS REPORT Failure to Collect His Share of Bank Loot Alleged Reason for Statement by Desperado in Prison. Confession which l>oth Indiana and Ohio authorities hope will result in death sentences for the Dillinger gangsters now in the Lima, 0., jail has been procured from Edward Shouse, member of the gang still held at the Indiana state prison, it was learned today. This was revealed by Wayne Coy, McNutt secretary in charge of penal affairs, who procured the alleged confession, together with Prosecutor Ernest Botkin of Allen county, Ohio. Mr. Coy told of the confession after it had been reported that Shouse is l)eing held at Michigan City because he intends to turn state's evidence.

He said it was procured voluntarily from the prisoner, who was one of the ten who escaped last September. It is alleged that Shouse divulged detaiLs which identify Harry Pierpont. Dillinger mob "trigger man,” as the one who shot* and killed Sheriff Jess Sarber in the Lima jail when they broke in and released John Dillinger. gang leader. Principal reason for Shouse wanting to confess was because in bank robbery jobs of the gang, staged between their escape and capture, he failed to share the loot, so he is alleged to have said. Names Flerpont Leader “When I was informed at the prison, on a trip there two weeks ago. that Shouse wanted to confess. I got the prosecutor who will try the case to come at once," Mr. Coy said. "I then sent for Captain Matt Leach of the state police. En route he was in an automobile accident, so the prosecutor and myself took the confession.” Miss Marie Grott of the criminal bureau traveling with Captain Leach, still is suffering from injunes due to the accident in which the car in which they were riding overturned. Shouse, according to Mr. Coy. charged that Pierpont was the “strong man and real leader” of the Dillinger mob. He also said that Pierpont is "kill crazy” and was constantly pulling his gun and threatening every one. John Hamilton was another gang member who didn't get his share, Shouse is reported to have said. Trump Card in Case He gave the Ohio prosecutor complete details of the entire plan of delivery of Dillinger, according to Mr. Coy. This confession is expected to be a trump card in the state's case, he said. Shouse was not among those captured in the Tucson. Ariz.. roundup. He was taken some time previously at Paris, 111., where the police fusillade killed officer Eugene Teague of the Indiana state police. Two girls were traveling with him at the time. He had a car which, it was learned later, had been rtolen from another of the escaped .convicts—Russell Clarke. After the Tucson captured, it also was learned that Shouse was "on the list” with the other gangsters, both for stealing Clarke's car and lor being “girl crazy.” This latter description of him is credited to Mary Kinder, the Dillinger "gun moll.” who is facing trial here for aiding in the prison delivery in which ten convicts escaped. Shouse is said to have been with the gang at the time of the shooting of the sheriff and the delivery of Dillinger from the Lima jail.

FARLEY RIGHT, ROARSBLACK Ruling Will Accelerate Aviation's Progress, Says Senator. By United Pn ss WASHINGTON. Feb. 17—Hopes of air mail operators for last minute modification of drastic governmental cancellation of air mail contracts evaporated entirely today in the face of a stinging attack by Senator Hugo Black, chairman of the air mail investigating committee. and a New York court decision j ruling that companies deprived of j contracts could not sue the government. Meanwhile, the army was pre- j pared to take over flying the mails midnight Monday and the capital awaited the long expected appearance of Walter F. Brown, post-master-general in the Hoover cabinet. before Senator Black’s committee. Br. Brown has been frequently mentioned as a witness before the committee. He will appear Monday at his own request. Senator Black's attack last night was upon air mail contract dealings under former President Hoover. He charged that ‘profiteers and stock manipulators” made milli on s through government subsidies. Farley’s Policy Defended Senator Black defended Post-master-General James A. Farley s recent order annulling domestic air line contracts. He said the cancellation would “accelerate aviation's orderly progress.” “It was never intended by patriotic citizens.” he said, "that this governmental aid should be diverted by collusive agreements into the pockets of favored bankers, brokers, or stock manipulators, politicians and lobbyists.’’ Senator Black outlined evidence before the committee relating to an alleged "spoils conference” in the postoffice department in 1930, at which air line operators were said to have divided various mail routes and receyed contracts without competitive %idding. Charges High Bid Accepted Southern Democrats charged that in one instance in 1930 in which competitive bidding was held, “the high bid of the Transcontinental Air Transport. Inc., and Western Air Express was accepted by the Postmaster-General.” According to documnetary proof and sworn evidence.” he said, "this high bidder was an amalgamation of companies selected by the group of operators and the postmaster-general, to receive this contract, long previous to its award, and even long before it was advertised for bids. "If the government had awarded this bid to the low bidder, it would i have saved the taxpayers $835,215 per year."

Dickens’ Pen Found Ample Material for Satire in America

IT was in 1839 that Charles Dickens, then a youth of 27. decided to take a trip to America. He had already written several successful novels, and was casting about for material for further books. He saw in America possibilities for material in its rough, unhewn wilderness. So. after turning the matter over in his mind for a couple of years, he definitely made up his mind to make the hazardous voyage. and on Jan. 3. 1842. “I opened the door of. and put my head into, a ‘state room’ on board the Brittannia steam packet. 1.200 tons burthern per register, bound for Halifax and Boston, and carrying Her Majesty's mails.” So Mr. Dickens describes his embarkment for the wild anil woolly shores of America, with p. satirical pen which never once lost its sarcastic venom during his trip through the states. m a a AFTER touching at Halifax, the Britannia docked at Boston. and Dickens, along with hu

By United Press ABOARD THE S. S. BEAR OF OAKLAND. BAY OF WHALES. P’eD. 17. (Via Mac Kay Radio) With another great adventure behind her, this 60-year-old vessel is ploughing through more or less open water toward Little America, apparently none the worse for a violent battle with pack ice that threatened to freeze her in. Having made a number of records, penetrating the unknown 190 miles beyond the record northeast coasting of the British ship Discovery and charting 5.000 square miles of hitherto unknown seas. Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd is anxious to reach his base as soon as possible because of the rapidity with which the bay ice has disintegrated. He fears the difficulty of finding a safe mooring of the Bear. Three days ago. during her voyage ; of exploration, the Bear became sur- ; rounded by a thick, heavy, jagged ice ! pack. lor hours Captain R. A. J. English sought an opening. One cold night, he knew, would freeze the vessel in for the winter. Finally, early yesterday open water was discerned on the other side of a point of the pack. The passage was about half a mile wide. English ordered the vessel into the pack. The Bear rammed ice blocks and shoved i them aside. Often progress was by | inches, it was disconcerting at times ; but there was no backing up bej cause of the danger to the rudder from the jagged ice.

It was still civilization, much as Dickens had known it in England. It was not until the young novelist set off for the "great west"—Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, and such frontier towns — that he began to encounter those elements which left him with the permanent bad taste set forth in “American Notes” and ‘Martin Chuzzlewit.” Os Boston, he said, ‘‘The city is a beautful one. and can not fail, I should imagine, to impress all strangers very favourably. The private dwelling houses are for the most part large and elegant: the shops extremely good, and the public buildings handsome.’’ He recorded the Bostonians as genteel and hospitable. Much, indeed, like the English. He was particularly impressed by a young blind girl named Laura Bridgman. an early Helen Kellar.

SEVEN KILLED IN TENEMENT HOUSE BLAZE Firemen Seek More Bodies in Ruins of 5-Story Building. FOUR IN FAMILY BURNED Survivors, in Night Clothing, Brave Near-Zero Weather. By United Press NEW YORK. Feb. 17—Fire raged through another of Manhattan's squalid and crowded tenement houses today, taking a known toll of seven dead. One was known to V be missing and firemen searching the debris of what had been a fivestory building housing a dozen or more families, feared that several additional bodies would be found. The single stairway was ablaze and near collapse before a barking dog of one of the tenants aroused his master, who gave alarm. All escape was cut off and firemen hauled men," women and children down ladders. The survivors were clad in their night clothing. Temperature was ten degrees above zero. , The survivors were taken into tenements nearby and watched their homes and possessions go in flames. Water Freezes Rapidly Fire equipment was massed in all neighboring streets. Firemen fought the blaze for two hours before they could get into the building. Water froze almost as soon as it left the nozzles. Within a few minutes the front of the building, the sidewalk, and the street were a mass of ice. Bodies of the Wechselbaum family, a father, mother and three children, were found in the basement. They had dropped there when the fourth, third and second floors collapsed. Before the floors collapsed, firemen found the bodies of a woman and her child. They were believed to be those of Mrs. Giovannia Terranolo, 52, and Anna Terranolo, 11. All were so charred identification was difficult. Pitiful Scenes Enacted While the fire was at its height, tenants ran through fire equipment screaming hysterically for missing relatives. They were herded back into houses because of their scanty attire, but dashed out again the moment the watch over them was relaxed. The chief mourner was Mr. Terranolo. A fireman carried him forcible down a ladder with his daughter, Frances. 15. His wife and two other children were inside, he screamed, and he wanted to rescue them. Firemen attempted to get back into the fourth floor apartment, but the flames barred them. Later they found the bodies of the mother and one child. The third child was missing—feared dead. -Tenants in the house next door were evacuated and sheltered in buildings nearby. Firemen after a long fight prevented the flames from spreading. THREE ARMY FLIERS DIE INJDRACKUPS Killed as They Fly Toward Postal Assignments. Bp United Press SALT LAKE CITY. Utah, Feb. 17. The United States army, pieparing to assume its new job of flying the mail, today recorded the deaths of three pilots whose planes crashed as they flew toward their assignments in the postal service. The bodies of Lieutenant Gene D. Grenier. Ft. Crockett. Galveston, Tex., and Lieutenant Edwin D. White. March field. Riverside, Cal., were found in the wreckage of their plane near Oakley, Utah, last night. They had crashed during a blinding snowstorm. Near Jerome. Idaho, Lieutenant James Y.

Lowell, Mass., visited just after Boston, proved equally satisfactory. Dickens was much impressed by the workingmen's and women’s condition there, and remarked with surprise the presence of “joint stock pianos” in many of the boarding houses. a a a FROM Worcester, the itinerary of the writer and his wife followed along the Connecticut river through Hartford, then to New Haven and then to New York. It was a leisurely trip and the couple spent four days in the town of Hartford, where they saw recorded impressions of the “famous oak in which the charter of King Charles was hidden.” New York, too, was not so bad. "Was there ever such a sunny street as this Broadway? he asks, and "No stint of omnibusses here! Half a dozen have gone by in as many minutes.” After visiting the Bowery, the Tombs and other points which took his fancy, Dickens traveled

Austrian Jail Officials Turn Back Clock, Save Six Men From Hanging Dramatic Reprieve by President Rescues Socialists Condemned to Gallows by Fascists; Two More May Be Pardoned. VIENNA, Feb. 17.—Jail officials, turning back the hands of a clock, saved the lives of six men today and gave a picture of the aftermath of Austria’s Socialist revolution. Fascist court-martial condemned the men who had been

found guilty of leading groups of Socialists in the four-day revolution, to be hanged within six hours. They were due to be hanged within three hours under the Fascist procedure for dealing with traitors. But jailors delayed the executions by retaring the clock until President Wilhelm Miklas, silent during all the time of the revolution, dispatched orders for their pardon. Two more Socialists were condemned to death after the pardons were issued. It was believed that President Mikas would pardon them also. Fascist demands for hangings, and the presidential refusal to permit court-marital sentences to be executed, left the Vienna situation in doubt. The Christian Socialist president a leader of Chancellor Engelbert Dollfuss’ party, while he flouted P'ascist ambitions to conduct mass hanging of their defeate enemies, seemed to approve of the Fascists themselves. He decorated Major Emil Fey, vice-chancellor and a Fascist leader, with the Austrian Grand Cross, charterizing him as chiefly instrumental in breaking the revolution, “thereby probably marking a turning point in the history of central Europe.” The condemned men were pardoned dramatically. The United Press correspondent was with the condemned men. The hour of execution approached. Officials turned back the clock as the three-hour execution period passed. The condemned men were served wdth coffee, in compliance with their last wish, as the moment approached at which they would be taken to the scaffold. The state's attorney, their procecutor, ran into the prison,

to Philadelphia, ‘ by railroad and two ferries.” In Philadelphia, a few impressions of a fair and quiet city were completely overwhelmed, in Mr. Dickens’ mind, by the dreadful specter of the Eastern Penitentiary, where the "cruel and wrong” custom of solitary confinement was adhered to. From this point, Mr. Dickens’ impressions of America got steadily worse and worse. Washington he saw as “the headquarters of tobacco-tinctured saliva.” though the decorum of the senate and the President of the United States impressed him favorably enough. a a a FROM Washington the itinerary followed through Richmond and Baltimore, and then back to Harrisburg. Dickens gleaned considerable amusement from the antics of the Negroes of the south. From Harrisburg the writer and his wife traveled across the Alleghenies to Pittsburgh, which was then a part of the “real west.”

radiant, breathless, and announced their pardon. “Thank God, I am not too late,” he said. Relatives of the prisoners were admitted to see them, crying with joy. Socialist leaders on the Czechoslovakian border of Austria, Austrian Nazis on the German border, Italian troops on the Italian frontier impelled the French cabinet to hang back on any effort toward revitalizing the disarmament conference. The collapse of the Socialist revolution in Austria meant only the revival of an old problem here —the ultimate fate of little Austria, amasculated heart of Europe, torn between Nazis and Fascists. Anthony Eden, British lord of the privy seal, and Lord Tyrell, British ambassador and veteran diplomatist, sought in a conference with a battery of French cabinet ministers today to advance the idea of a seven-power European disarmament conference. But minds were not on disarmament. Frenzied over riots of their own, having heard over wireless hookups speeches that indicated German and Austrian Nazis were waiting their chance to step over the German frontier into Austria and seize power, French cabinet ministers sought to strengthen France’s own position. By United Press PARIS, Feb. 17.—Austria’s blood bath has killed efforts to revitalize the world disarmament conference on its present basis, it was learned today. Not only were France and Germany far apart on disarmament, but the picture of Europe torn between Socialist and Fascist parties, caused democratic governments to postpone any plans they might have had for rapprochement.

The quaintness and crudeness of the mountain folk of Pennsylvania first amused, then irritated Dickens’ sense of refinement. In Pittsburgh, Dickens remained three days—March 30, 31 and April 1, 1842. His sensibilities shaken by the trip over the mountains, Pittsburgh did not stir Mr. Dickens’ esthetic senses. O' it, he says, “It certainly has a great quantity of smoke hanging about it, and is famous for its iron works.” Cincinnati was next, and a little better, in Mr. Dickens’ eye. Perhaps the voyage down the Allegheny in a steam boat had lulled him back to an appreciation of the country’s scenic values. Anyway, he characterized Cincinnati as “a beautiful city; cheerful, thriving and animated.” At Cincinnati there was a temperance convention in progress, and the author got quite a kick out of the parade in which, f ’The banners were very well painted, and flaunted down the street famously. ,J

President Satisfied Some Industries Are Suffering From Lack of Credit and Moves to Help Them. ADVISERS DIFFER IN BEST METHOD Federal Reserve System or RFC May Be Used in Program; Continued Improvement in Conditions Reported. By United Press WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.—New administration moves to promote the current upswing in business by reopening of industrial credit reservoirs were reported near completion today. President Roosevelt is satisfied that some lines of business are suffering from a lack of credit and has ordered his fiscal assistants to study means whereby a normal flow of credit into business can be attained. Next, week, Governor Eugene R. Black of the federal reserve system will confer with Chairman Jesse H. Jones of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation on possible federal legislative or other assistance to help the flow of credit into business.

WHEELER HITS RESTAURANT WAGESCALES Proposed Code Will Bring Drastic Salary Cuts, City Man Says. Charging that wages for restaurant help as provided in the wage scale of the proposed code for restaurants will bring drastic wage cuts, W. O. Wheeler, president of the Indiana Restaurant Association, today critized sharply the code conditionally signed by President Roosevelt. Mr. Wheeler stated last night that wages under the code will be even less than they are now under the provisions of t temporary code placed in effe e time ago. He charged that an 10 per cent of the Indiai .aurants are abiding by the code. “I guess we’ll have to turn around and fight on the side of labor for higher w'ages,” Mr. Wheeler declared.” I am surprised that labor interests permitted the code to be written with those wages scale and hour provisions. We expected a maximum for forty hours for female help and forty-eight hours for male help, with the wage at 26 or 27 cents an hour. Mr. Wheeler disclosed that the restaurant code establishes a sixday work week, with a maximum of fifty-four hours for male help and forty-eight hours for female help. The code provides that wherever the hours have been shorter they shall not be increased to the code level. Wages, according to the provisions of the code, have been established on two scales. Nonservice employes are to get sl2 to sls weekly according to the population of the community in which they work. Service help are to get $9.50 and $10.50 with all tips to be kept by the waiters. Mr. Wheeler said that he would call a meeting of the state association as soon as a copy of the code is received here. The code is to become effective Feb. 26, it was learned. “The provisions adopted yesterday are exactly what the chiseler wants,” Mr. Wheeler declared. “It will prevent the legitimate restaurant operator from paying a fair wage because of competitive conditions. While admitting that the restaurant code is not fully satisfactory from a “social standpoint,” General Hugh S. Johnson, national NRA administrator, said that the code should result in the employment of more than 125,000 additional workers.

FOLLOWED, Louisville and St. Louis. During the trip, Dickens made his acquaintance with an Indian chief, the Kentucky people Find the Mississippi. A short way into the "prairie” from St. Louis, “we halted at a place called Bellevue,” Dickens said, and there we met a Dr. Crocus, who astounded the genteel Englishman by announcing he had no intention of ever returning to the "Old Country.” Mr. Dickens just couldn’t comprehend this. From St. Louis—the western limit of his journey, Dickens returned to Cincinnati, Columbus, Sandusky and Cleveland, and there boarded a boat which carried him to Niagara Falls. Niagara brought this from his startled lips: “I could see an immense torrent of water tearing headlong down from some great height, but had no idea of shape, or situation, or anything but Vague immensity.” From Niagara. Dickens took a brief jaunt into Canada, then back to New York and boarded a ship, late in June, for England.

In this way, the administration seeks to facilitate the upswing- in the hope that millions of workers can be taken off C \\ A role and absorbed by industry in the summer and fall months. Some difference of opinion exists among administration advisers as to the best way to accomplish the forcing of credit into business. Governor Black is believed to be in favor of establishment of a series of intermediate credit banks to make direct loans to industry, while Mr. Jones believes that current government lending operations could be extended to accomplish this end. Although the Federal Reserve banks have authority and are m ing direct short term loans to industry, it was recognized that their present setup is not ample to do this business on a large scale. This has led to study of the intermediate credit bank idea. Commercial Aid Suggested On the other hand, Mr. Jones believes that additional mortgage companies can be formed with RFC money to make direct loans or that a system of matching RFC money 50-50 with commercial banks can be worked out, whereby the commercial banks would make loan* with RFC assistance. A general program of credit assistance to business is expected to be sifted out of these various ideas some time next week and a possible legislative program evolved. Current federal laws, like the securities act and the banking act passed last year, are being studied to determine whether they are interfering with the flow of investment capital into industry. Another step of the administration to promote recovery meanwhile was ready for operation. This was the export-import bank of Washington, formed last week with RFC capital, to promote trade with the Soviet Union. Actual operation of the bank awaited only the acceptance by George N. Peek of the presidency of the institution. Auto Output Gains Reports of continued improvement in business activity continued to come into the capital as the administration studied further industrial promotion plans. The steel industry this week stepped up its operations to nearly 40 per cent of capacity, the highest rate in many months. Last week automobile output reached 65,143 units, or more than double the output of 27,063 units in the corresponding period of last year. Bituminous coal output continued to gain, reaching 7,750,000 tons last week, against 7,736,000 tons a year ago. Electric power output was 11.4 per cent above a year ago, and rising department store sales were reported in various parts of the country. Nurses’ Apartment Looted Thieves who broke into the apartment of Misses Aileen Maguire and Eva H. Evans, Methodist hospital nurses, at 1728 North Capitol avenue, stole articles valued at S7O yesterday afternoon. The loot included two bed pillows, alarm clock, eight dresses, four white uniforms, five sheets, three blankets and other articles.
