CONGRESSMAN CHARGED WITH NRA SABOTAGE Representative Told Lumber Men to Ignore Codes, Officials Claim. PROBE IS UNDER WAY Financing of Authorities Discussed in Session at Capital. Ft I nitrd Prr,, WASHINGTON, March 6.—Two letters by Representative H. P. Fulmer 'Dem., S. C., advising sawmill operators in his state to • operate on a common sense basis” without regard to NRA codes, were introduced in evidence today before the NRA code reorganization conference. C. C. Shepard, lumber man of Clarks, La., representing the lumber code authority, read the two letters he said Mr. Fulmer had written and said that he nad wired home for more letters from congressmen on the same subject. He said that Representative Fulmer had written to E. W. Watson of Winsor, S. C., and Roy Hunter, saw mill operators who had been charged with flagrant violations of the lumber code. In a letter dated Feb. 16. to E. W. Watson, Mr. Fulmer said, according to the witness: Warns of Investigation *T I were you I would operate your mill on a common sense basis.” In a P. S. to the same letter, Mr. Fulmer warned Mr. Watson that an NRA compliance director soon would call upon him. ‘The man will rail on yrvi in the few days—look out f% him," the letter said. In the other letter to Mr. Hunter, a mill operator, in Bamberger. S. C., the congressman said: I feel sure it will be impossible for you to pay the wages and comply with the hours,” set up in the lumber milling code. Armin W. Riley, deputy administrator of the NRA who had refused to accept the letters from Mr. Clark last midnight because newspapermen were present, took them immediately today and said that they were to be rushed through the NRA minmeographing department for immediate distribution. Congressman Is Invited The NRA telephoned Mr. Ftilmer inviting him to appear before the conference on small industry codes at the Raleigh hotel to explain the reasons behind the letters. “We want to give him a chance to tell his side of the story,” said Leon Henderson, code chairman of the meeting. M. B. Mosesohn of the Wholesale Trade Code Authority, addressing the code administration meeting on the question of financing code authorities, said that contributions to rode authority finances must be made mandatory. “Firms must be prohibited from doing business if they do not aid the code authorities financially,” he said. If the NIRA is construed to allow shutting down of businesses for violation of codes, non-support of a code authority financially must be a major violation. Must Contribute, He Says ‘ Too many firms are getting the benefits from codes without contributing anything. The mere fact that a firm is working under a code is an admission of benefits.” Jay O. Ball of the boot and shoe code authority, told of the system used by his group for financing operations. He explained that the boot and shoe code was one of the early codes. He said that there were only two paid officers in the code authority, which governs the 800 units in his industry. He said one of the greatest objections offered by individual members of the industry was concerning the possibilities for loose and unnecessary expenditures. He said this had been done away with, however, bv an efficient system of triple-checking all expenditures. U. S. GOLD RESERVE GAINS $484,222,367 Record Teak of 57.502.486.293 Is Reached.

"THE LIFE OF OUR LORD" Written by CHARLES DICKENS For His Children in 1849 mid Kept as a Precious Family Secret for Eighty-Five Years
WHEN King Herod was dead, an Angel came to Joseph again, and said he might now go to Jerusalem, and not be afraid for the Child's sake. So Joseph and Mary, and her Son Jesus
Jesus Questioning the Doctors—By Gustave Dore
Xote to'Readers: The reason why Charles Dickens refused to permit publication r,f “The Life of Our Lord” in his lifetime was that he did not care to throw open to the public this intimate personal opening of his heart to his children, with the possibility of attack and defense of his religious convictions. In a letter to a clergyman, he said: ‘There can not be many men, I believe, who have a more humble veneration for the New Testament, or a more profound conviction of its all-sufficiency than I have . . . My observation of life induces me to hold in unspeakable dread and horror these unseemly squabbles about the ‘letters’ which drive the Spirit' out of hundreds of thousands.” In view of Dickers’ expressed desire, we urge readers of The. Times to respect his wishes and to read this beautiful and touching story, not with an attitude of criticism for omissions of interpretations, but with an understanding that here is a Victorian father telling the eternal story out of love for his children when they W'ere very young.
Nonresidents Head City Light Cos., U.S. Reveals Local Firm’s Chiefs Also Hold Scores of Offices, Directorships in Other Companies. Board Claims. BV WALKER STONE Times Staff Writer WASHINGTON, March 6.—Some officers of he Indianapolis Power and Light Company, nonresidents of Indianapolis, hold scores of offices and directorships in other companies, it was revealed today at a hearing before the federal trade commission.
These nonresidents of Indianapolis use other people's money to control the Indianapolis utility and work only part time in its management. it was shown. Facts proving this paradoxical setup were made part of the record of the commission hearing in receiving a report on the intercorporate relations of the group of utilities controlled by the Utilities Power and Light Corporation of Chicago. The report rounded out that part of the record of its six-year investigation inv> profits, control and practices of utilities concerns, conducted pursuant to a senate resolution. As of December 31.1931. the intercorporate relations report, made by W. B. Horne, commission examiner, revealed six of the twelve officers and two of the eleven directors of the Indianapolis company lived m Chicago. The nine non-Chicago residents on the board of directors, the report disclosed, served only bv sufferance of the Chicago clique and Harley L. Clarke, president, of the utilities power and light corporation. Mr. Clarke, himself, through the medium of three personal holding companies—Public Utilities Securities Corporation. Webster Securities Corporation, and Utilities Gas Company, controlled 679.002 shares, or 56.7 per cent of the outstanding stock of the Utilities Power and Light Corporation, which in turn held 100 per cent—except for a fraction of 1 per cent allotted as directors’ qualifying shares—of the voting stock of the Indianapolis Power and Light Company. Thus, through an ingenius pyramiding of stockholdings, is Mr. Clarke enabled to exercise absolute absentee control over the management of the Indianapolis Power and Light Company without owning half of the actual investment. Appertaining to the part-time-job status of several officers and directors of the Indianapolis utility, evidence presented to the commission discloses that, on Dec. 31. 1931: H. L. Clarke, director of the Indianapolis company, also was director of eighteen other companies, and officer of twelve other companies. H. C. Orton, vice-president of the Indianapolis company, also was director of twenty-four other companies, and officer of twenty-nine other companies. Directs Twenty-Nine Companies W. A.

DILLINGER REWARD? NO, ROARS M’NUTT Governor Refuses to Offer State Remuneration. Governor Paul V. McNutt today declared emphatically that there will be no reward offered by the state for the capture of John Dillinger. “It was the reward system that led Dillinger into the crime limelight and launched the worst part of his career,” Governor McNutt declared. “After his capture in Dayton, 0., on information supplied Ohio authorities by Captain Matt Leach of the Indiana state police, Dillinger was taken to Lima. 0., instead of extradited to Indiana, because of rewards offered. ‘‘Surely no police officer in the United States would fail to try and capture Dillinger as part of his job and without thought of reward.” HOUSING PLAN UPHELD Attorney-General Delivers Opinion to Secretary Ickes.

INDIANAPOLIS, TUESDAY, MARCH 6, 1034
Child, they turned out of the way, and went to live in Nazareth. They lived there, until Jesus Christ was 21 years old. Then Joseph and Mary went to Jerusalem to attend a Religious Feast which used to be held in those days, in the Temple of Jerusalem, which was a great church or cathedral; and they took Jesus Chrkst with them, and when the Feast was over, they traveled away from Jerusalem, back toward their own home in Nazareth, with a great many of their friends and neighbors. For people used, then, to travel a great many together, for fear of robbers; the roads not being so safe and well guarded as they are now, and traveling being much more difficult altogether, than it now is. They traveled on, for a whole day, and never knew that Jesus Christ w-as not with them; for the company being so large, they thought He was somewhere among the people, though they did not see Him. But finding that He was not there, and fearing that He was lost, they turned back to Jerusalem in great anxiety to look for Him. They found Him, sitting in the Temple, talking about the Goodness of God, and how we should all pray to him, with some learned men who were called Doctors. They were not what you understand by the word ‘‘Doctors” now'; they did not attend sick people; they were scholars and clever men. And Jesus Christ showed such knowledge in what He said to them, and in the questions He asked them, that they W'ere all astonished. He went with Joseph and Mary home to Nazareth, when they had found Him, and lived there until He w T as 30 or 35 years old. a tt tt AT that time - there was a very good man, indeed, named John, who was the son of a woman named Elizabeth the cousin of Mary. And people being w'icked. and violent, and killing each other, and not minding their duty towards God, John (to teach them better) went about the country, preaching to them, and entreating them to be better men and women. And because he loved them more than himself, and didn't mind himself when he was doing them good, he was poorly dressed in the ski of a camel, and ate little but some insects called locusts, which he found as he travelled; and wild honey, w'hich the bees left in th 2 Hollow’ Trees. You never saw a locust, because they belong to that country near Jerusalem, which is a great way off. So do camels, but I think you have seen a camel? At all events they are brought over here, sometimes; and if you would like to see one, I will show you one. There was a River, not very far from Jerusalem, called the River Jordan; and in this water, John baptized those people who would come to him, and promise to be better. A great many people w r ent to him in crowds. Jesus Christ went too. But when John saw' Him, John said, “Why should I baptize you. who are so much better than I!” Jesus Christ made answ’er, ‘‘Suffer it to be so now 7,” So John baptized Him. And W'hen He was baptized, the sky opened, and a beautiful bird like a dove came flying dow'n, and the voice of God, speaking up in Heaven, was heard to say “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased!” tt tt tt JESUS CHRIST then went into a wild and lonely country called the Wilderness, and stayed there forty days and forty nights, praying that He might be of use to men and women, and teach them to be better, so that after their deaths, they might be nappy in Heaven. When He came out of ih° Wilderness. He began to cure sick people by only laying His hand upon them; for God had given Him power to heal the tick, and to give sight to the blind, and to do many wonderful and solemn things of which I shall tell you more bye and bye, and which are called “The Miracles” of Christ. I wish you would remember that word, because I shall use it again, and I should like you to know that it means something which is very wonderful and which, could r.ot be done without Gods leave and assistance. The first Miracle which Jer-us Christ did, was at a place called Cana, where He went to a Marriage Feast with Mary His Mother. There was no wine; and Mary told Him so. There were only six stone waterpots filled with water. But Jesus turned this water into wine by only lifting up His hand; and all who were there, drank of it. For God had given Jesus Christ the power to do such wonders; and He did them, that people might know He was not a common man. and might believe what He taught them, and also believe that God had sent Him. And many people, hearing this, and hearing that He cured the sick, did begin to believe in Him; and great crowds followed Him in the streets and on the roads, wherever He went.

DILLINGER COMING HERE TO GET $15,000 HE GAVE CITY MAN, IS REPORT
Rheta '$ Slaying Still Is Baffling Mystery, Says Defense in Final Plea By L nited Press CRIMINAL COURT BUILDING, CHICAGO, March 6. The slaying of Rheta Gardner Wynekoop, beautiful Indianapolis girl, remains as baffling a mystery today as it was on last Nov. 21, when her bullet-shattered body was found bleeding on her mother-in-law’s private operating table, attorneys for Dr. Alice Wynekoop contended today. “We don't say that Rheta committed suicide,” said Milton Smith as he presented his closing arguments to the jury in Dr. Wynekoop's trial on murder charges. “We don't know whether she did or not. We aren't satisfied what happened
on the night that Rheta was
killed and neither is Prosecutor Charles Dougherty.” Thus the issue was joined in the sensational Wynekoop trial. If the jury of twelve men, picked by defense especially for their youth, reasons with the defense attorney they will return a verdict of acquittal and the mystery of “who killed Rheta Wynekoop” will remain as deep a puzzle as ever. On the other hand, if the jury follows the logic of the prosecutor who has sought to catch the 63-yepr-old defendant in a web of circumstantial evidence tight enough to leave no reasonable doubt of guilt, then Dr. Wynekoop either will pav with her life in the electric chair or will be sent to prison, where probably she will die. “I haven't long to live anyway,” she. repeatedly has said, and a vicious bruise on her face sustained her fears. The bruise was suffered when she swooned and fell in the jail hospital yesterday. Her heart is weak. In his last dramatic effort to clear the ncime of his client, Attorney Smith posed for the jury the nossibility of suicide and the possibility of murder by a burglar. "Mr. Dougherty says he. couldn’t shoot himself the way Rheta was shot. Well, I could. And I’m big and fat and bulky. Or. how do we know that a marauder didn't do it? “It is entirely possible that a drug addict, surprised by Rheta in the midst of his depredations, chloroformed and then shot her.'

Sheriff Holley Must Go An Editorial —
"ttthEN an accusation in writing ... is presented to a circuit court, ▼ alleging that any officer within the jurisdiction of the court . . . has refused or neglected to perform the official duties pertaining to his office, the court must cite the party charged to appear . at any time not more than ten nor less than five days from the time the accusation was presented; and on that day, or some other subsequent day not more than twenty days from the time Lhe accusation was presented, must proceed to hear, in a summary manner, the accusation . . . and if the charge is sustained, the court must enter a decree that the party accused be deprived of his office . . .” —Excerpt from Section 9662 of Burns Annotated Indiana Statutes of 1914. This is the law of Indiana. It applies to sheriffs. It applies to Sheriff Lillian Holley of Lake county, from whose jurisdiction John Dillinger escaped Saturday, March 3. The Indianapolis Times accuses Sheriff Holley of gross neglect of duty on the following courts: That she permitted Dillinger to possess a knife or razor, which was contrary to good prison practice and the dictates of plain common sense. That she permitted Deputy Warden Blunk to mingle with the prisoners, including Dillinger, while Blunk was armed with a revolver, which the desperado stole. That she failed properly to safeguard two sub-machine guns which Dillinger stole, and allowed them to be left lying in the untenanted warden’s office. That Sam Cahoon, handyman, was permitted to have the keys of the jail although he was known to be irresponsible and had served several terms for drunkenness; That Cahoon was retained on the job by Sheriff Holley after Dillinger's jail break although it was he whose conduct paved the way for the escape; That persons in the jail knew Dillinger was making a wooden pistol, but that it was not taken away from him; That Dillinger’s cell door and the corridor door were unlocked when the gunman escaped! This is a black record for Mrs. Holley, it, is a record which may be written in the blood of innocent persons when Dillinger once more begins his reckless depredations against society. Prosecutor Robert Estill of Lake county, who was photographed several weeks ago with his arm around Dillinger, plans to present the case to the grand jury. That is the longest way round. It gives a chance for delay and hair-splitting. Indiana has a law which provides the means for the prompt removal of Mrs. Holley. The section The Times cites today allows no opportunity for pettifogging. Under the statute the court must dispose summarily of the case within twenty-five days. All that is necessary is for some citizen of Lake county to file a formal complaint with the circuit court judge. Mrs. Holley must go!
Mrs. Roosevelt's Plane Is Headed for Puerto Rico
‘First Lady’ Takes Off on Caribbean Flight From Miami, Fla. By United Press MIAMI, Fla., March 6.—Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt arrived here at 7 a. m. today by train to take off for Puerto Rico and the Virgin islands to learn for herself about these Caribbean islands of the United States. Mrs. Roosevelt's plane roared away here for the Caribbean flight at 8:52 a. m. Because Mrs. Roosevelt wanted to see the citadel built by Henri Christophe, the slave who became a king after being the first president of the republic of Haiti, PanAmerican Airways changed the course of the ship, and will fly above this “veritable marvel’’ built 2.500 feet above sea level. The black king killed himself with a golden bullet in 1820. Mrs. Roosevelt also expressed the hope that she might see the Haitian fort Smedley Butler took, which caused such controversy several years ago. The party will spend tonight in Port-Au-Prince, capital of Haiti. Just as she has gone from coast to coast and from north to south in the year she has been in the White House, seeing all kinds of life in the United States, Mrs. Roosevelt wants to get first hand information about Puerto Rico and the Virgin islands.

Chiof Mike Morrissey could not be reached to confirm the threat, but stories were circulated under cover that police might be asked to guard certain locations, following threats that Dillinger was coming here to get the money. According to information obtained by The Times, Dillinger gave some of the loot from recent bank robberies to a. local friend. While the desperado was held at the Crown Point, jail, lie sent, for the man alleged to hold the money. The local man. according to the reports, never attempted to get in touch. with Dillinger, believing that the gangster was certain to be executed. Since his rscape, Dillinger is reported to have been in touch with Indianapolis underworld characters, telling them that, he was coming to Indianapolis "to get, his money and the guy that is bolding it.” The Timps learned that the threatened person will seek twenty-four-hour police protection while Dillinger is at large. Chicago Police on Guard By I >iited Prefix CHICAGO, March 6.—An army of plainclothes men in bullet proof vests massed in Chicago's north side today and patrolled the vicinity of loop banks in a search for Johp Dillinger, desperate Indiana outlaw. Information that the escaped convict, planned to rob the Builders' bank led to a concentration of forces there. Warning that Dillinger. whose escape Saturday from the Crown Point • Ind.i jail started one of the largest man hunts in history, planned to rob the large Builders’ bank today camp to police during the night. William Blaul. deputy chief of detectives, said the source of information w'as considered authentic. If accurate, the tip would indicate that police had gained at least a slender clew to the desperado’s whereabouts. The hunt for Dillinger centered in Chicago late yesterday after police found the automobile of Sheriff Lillian Holley of Crown Point, in which Dillinger fled. Hoosiers Are Blamed Blame for the escape of John Dillinger, public enemy No. 1, bandit and alleged murderer from Crown Point, jail, was placed squarely on the shoulders of Indiana authorities today by Chicago police seeking the desperado in the gangster haunts of that city. Captain John Stege and his detectives declared that Dillinger was able to enter Chicago Saturday because the wrong license plate numbers lor Sheriff Lillian Holley’s car, in which Dillinger and Herbert Youngblood. Negro, escaped, had been broadcast by Indiana authorities. The license numbers broadcast for the car in which the bandits fled from the Crown Point jail Satui.iay were in reality the numbers on the plates of a private citizen of Gary, it was learned. While no explanation of this glaring mistake could be obtained from Indiana authorities early today, newspaper men here recalled that they had beer, given a false description of the car in which Dillinger escaped, by jail attaches at Crown Point Saturday. A Times reporter who called at the jail shortly after the escape was told by a jail attache that Dillinger had escaped in a “Dodge.” In reality, Dillinger and the Negro escaped in a Ford V-8 sedan with a conspicuous red light' and ri siren owned by Sheriff Lillian Holley. Chicago police were outspoken in their disgust at this new revelation. They asserted that Dillinger was able to make his way into Chicago through the exclusive north side suburbs because of the wrong license numbers which they had received of the sheriff’s car. A ‘ Chicago detective, it was learned, had followed the sheriff s car for some distance, despite the discrepancy in the license plate number, but lost it when Dillinger apparently recognized him. Sheriff Holley’s car. it was learned, was abandoned by Dillinger Saturday night in front of a north side apartment house in Chicago. Police admitted that the informatior was withheld until yesterday in tb > hope that Dillinger would return t the car. &
