This homage was followed by Bishop Ritter's address to the congregation. Grateful for Trust “We are mindful of and deeply grateful for the trust that has been placed in us." Bishop Ritter said. “Nevertheless, in all humility and yet with confidence we willingly assume the burdens of this high office. To it we dedicate our whole being and whatever we are, either by nature or by grace, that God may use us as His instrument for whatever good we may accomplish; and in our efforts we will be consoled and strengthened by the thought that we do not walk alone; that we are linked with the leadership of the supreme pontiff. Pope Fins the Eleventh.” Bishop Ritter paid tribute to the period of a hundred years' history just being closed for the diocese, and to the bishops who had served in that time. “During this period, six bishops shepherded the diocese with Christlike devotion,” he said. “Not as six individuals perfecting so many works, but as one engaged in perfecting and building the one mystical body of Christ, the church of the diocese. From a small mission settlement, they have constructed a well-organized diocese. The traditions of these years are genuinely American and Catholic.”

Crisis Seen Brewing Over Policy of Japan in Asia United States Expected to Address Note to Nippon on Her Hands Off China Declarations. By United Press A far eastern crisis of major importance appeared developing today from implications of Japan's “hands off China” declarations, now enlarged in their scope. The United States government was understood to be considering representations to Japan, seeking definition of its ambitions and reminding Japan of treaty obligations.

Great Britain awaited a reply ; from representations it made to i Tokio, understood to be in the form ! of a verbal message and a memorandum. At Tokio. reports were that the cabinet had officially approved the declarations of policy made first at Tokio. then at other world centers. By Times Special WASHINGTON. April 24. The United States may follow' the lead of Great Britain in officially rei minding the Japanese government of ! its obligations under the nine-power I pact, it was stated in authoritative quarters today. State Secretary Cordell Hull was clue back in Washington today from New York, and his arrival w r as expected to coincide with the dispatch of either a memorandum to the Japanese government, or of instructions to American Ambassador Joseph C. Grew in Tokio to make such a reminder. Officials here characterized as “unusual, to say the least.” the methods by which Japan has circulated her “hands-off China” manifesto. This has been done entirely by statements to the press in Tokio and other world capitals. There has been no official communication to any foreign government, although the issue is considered the most important development in the far eastern situation since Japan presented her famous “twenty-one demands” to China in 1915. By United Press LONDON, April 24. —Threat of a diplomatic crisis rivaling that, of the Manchurian incident in 1932 was seen in European capitals today as the result of a world wide drumfire cf Japanese “hands off” declarations concerning Asia. It was understood that the cabinet would consider tomorrow what was called already the Far Eastern crisis, and that the government was only awaiting Japan's reply before considering the advisability of consulting the United States. It was believed that the method adopted in communicating with Japan was a verbal message through the ambassador at Tokio, and a memorandum to be presented by him. A few hours after its dispatch Nasavuki Yokoyama. Japanese con-sul-general at Geneva, league headquarters. issued a formal statement in which he declared that Japan intended to assume responsibility for events in "Western” Asia, It was explained later that this was a translator’s error and that eastern Asia was meant but the implication was unmistakable.

COLORFUL RITES MARK ENTHRONING OF NEW BISHOP

Reviewing the evils of the slate. Mr. Denny pointed out the tremendous power it places in the hands of party bosses with the resultant losses to taxpayers. "Having selected a slate, the boss uses the precinct organizations to put the slate across,” Mr. Denny asserted. “In the cases of judicial candidates, even promises of rich receiverships can be peddled for places on the slate. “Consider, for example, the temptation to the party chairman to sell the selection of a post on the safety board, which runs the police department, or a place on the works board to some contractor or producer of paving materials. Very nice for the parties involved, but the taxpayer pays.” Mr. Denny also pointed out that the voter is deluged with slates other than the organization selections. "There are labor slates, employers’ slates, barbers’ slates, phony good citizens’ slates, and even par-ent-teacher slates that the ParentTeacher Associations never heard of.” he said. In addition to outlawing the slate, other changes are necessary if the primary is to survive, Mr. Denny said. He advocated making primary

BASEBALL RAGE STARTED HERE New Season Makes Debut at Perry Stadium After Parade. Despite the frosty tang of the weather, Indianapolis today tuned its ears for the familiar cry of an umpire to “Play ball" and for the answering crack of a willow bludgeon against horsehide out in Perry stadium. There at 3 this afternoon Manager Red Killefer’s Indianapolis Indians were to open the baseball season in Indianapolis against Steve O’Neill’s Toledo Mud Hens, after the annual monster parade downtown in celebration of the event.

Two $lO Bills —My, What a Costly Breakfast!

A TREMBLING Negro stood in a semi-circle of grimly accusing coppers at police headquarters early today and confessed to eating the most expensive breakfast consumed in Indianapolis in many a day. His adam's apple bobbing up and down with fright, Charles Turner, 21, of 971 Indiana avenue, gulped twice and told all. . “Jes’ as I seen de law comin,’ ” he confessed, *‘l gets terrible hungry and ate those two $lO bills. If you all seen de I. P. D. cornin' you’d get excited, too. Turner's eyes rolled with emotion and his stocky frame shook as he gazed appealingly at Captain Jesse McMurtry. Captain McMurtry assumed a gravely concerned look-

U. $. BOARD’S STRIKE ROLING BELIEVED NEAR Union Demands at City Mills May Be Upheld, Observers Hint. VIOLENCE IS RENEWED Recent Election Studied; Several Injured in New Outbreaks. The national labor board will hand down a decision in the hosiery mill labor dispute which may settle the strike, now in its third week, it was announced today in Washington. From all indications, according to Washington observers, it appeared the strikers’ demands for recognition of their union might be upheld by the government. The national board two weeks ago announced that it was making a study of the election held last fall at'the Real Silk plant, in which a majority of employes voted in favor of the Employes Mutual Benefit Association, and against the Full Fashioned Hosiery Federation. Hosiery union members contended the selection was unfair because, they said, hundreds of Real Silk employes not eligible to union membership were permitted to vote. Region labor board officials here today refused to hazard an opinion on the possible result of a ruling by the national board.

Auto Ruling Cited It was pointed out that decision several weeks ago in the automobile industry dispute, in which it was held minorities, and even individuals, as well as majority groups, w r ere entitled to recognition, upset all previous precedents. In the recent Indianapolis street railway bus drivers union dispute, in which the union sought recognition, the matter was settled by agreement, the union being recognized. In the meantime, clashes between strikers and mill employes who remained at work continued, several being injured severely. Six men, said to be hosiery mill strikers, today were arrested in Johnson county following a wild chase in which three carloads of strikers are alleged to have pursued two Real Silk mill guards, whose car was wrecked during the chase. Six Are Arrested The sheriff of Johnson county, who made the arrests, said a number cf bricks were hurled during the chase. The guards, Charles Webb and C. Tressler, the sheriff said, had started for Greenwood to escort mill workers, living there, to Indianapolis for wo<k. Two carloads of the attackers escaped, he said. Those arrested gave their names as Hollis Yensel, Paul Kenthan, Herbert Puckett, William Reeves, Henry Flinn and Gilbert Emswiller. The first violence in the picket area around the Real Silk mill occurred yesterday, when Henry Mertz, 24, of 2229 Union street, a strike picket, said he was slugged with a gas pipe by one of several men who attacked him. Mertz said the attack came as he walked from the picket line to attend a meeting. Four Guards Beaten Four guards employed by the Real Silk mill to protect workers from molestation by strikers were beaten yesterday afternoon by alleged strikers. The men attacked gave their names as Jerry Lake, Frank Ballinger, Clarence Shay and Charles Vmzel, all of the Linden. They said their car was crowded to the curb on Fletcher avenue by men in four cars, who attacked them, and broke glass from their car. Police yesterday afternoon arrested William Curry, 40, Linden hotel, another company guard, on a charge of driving through an automatic traffic signal. Police said there were three other men in the car, together with four hammer handles and a piece of gas pipe, which were confiscated. Joe Cranston. 6108 East St. Joe street, Real Silk worker, reported last night that several men threw rocks at his house but failed to break the window glass. YEGGMEN ~ OBTAIN $75 Safe Crackers Loot Strong Box at City Tea Company. Blowing open the safe in the office of the Grand Union Tea and Coffee Company, 520 South New Jersey street, yeggmen last night obtained about $75 in cash, police were notified today by Mrs. Forrest Barnes, cashier.

“That’s bad.” he told the Negro. ‘ I feel sorry for you. The ink on that paper money is deadly poison.” The Negro’s eyes widened in genuine terror. “Good lawd,” he exclaimed. “You know, Cap’n, I done feel sick ever since I ate ’em. But de law was comin” ’. mum SERGEANT JOHN HANEY explained to Captain McMurty that Turner was arrested in the tire store owned by Harvey Patton, Elder avenue and Michigan street. At daybreak, Sergeant Haney said, he saw a taxicab driven by Turner pull up to the store and Turner and Oscar Pow-

PROSECUTOR WILSON RECEIVES THREAT TO KIDNAP HIS CHILDREN

An unsigned letter threatening the kidnaping of his children was received today by Herbert E. Wilson, Marion county prosecutor. The letter, addressed to "Wilson. Court House, city,” was typewritten and contained the following message: “Mr. Wilson: You took my son away when he was not guilty. The speech of your man Bate is what done the work. You both have children. You might have them taken away also. They said it would take SI,OOO to spring it. Start getting it with Bate, or else. “If you tell police I won’t wait for money as you can't trust parole board even if I would pay them the SI,OOO. If you and Bate care for your kids, do as I say, or else. I am watching if you let police know’.” “Bate' 1 is believed to refer to Deputy Prosecutor Gerritt M. Bates. Neither Mr. Wilson nor Mr. Bates could offer possible identity of the writer of the letter.

TUGWELL LAUDS NEW DEAL ERA American Tradition Being Saved, Not Destroyed, Says Professor. By United Press WASHINGTON. April 24.—Professor Rexford Guy Tugwell, $6,800-a-year brain truster, is convinced that the new deal is saving, rather than destroying, American tradition. Dr. Tugwell believes President Roosevelt came into power at the low point of American history. He thinks the country might have gone to an extreme a year ago. He advanced these ideas during a bumpy inspection ride over 3,000 nearby Maryland acres where PWA and CWA funds are creating a model agricultural experiment station. Jouncing along in one of America’s cheapest automobiles, Dr. Tugwell remarked that no one knows the direction in which this country would have gone without some Rooseveltian first aid. In one direction lay Fascism and in the other Communism. Dr. Tugwell didn’t name any names. He spoke merely of directions. But he feels Mr. Roosevelt saved the characteristically American tradition here. Asked about regimentation and control of industry, Dr. Tugwell replied: “I don’t believe in that at all.” His conception of NRA is that of an “economic forum” in which differences among and within industries may be thought out and solved. The real difficulty in the United States, take it from Dr. Tugwell, is maladjustment of the price system. The objective desired by Dr. Tugwell is a continuity of industry—by which he means ample and stable employment and the maintenance of a relationship between prices of all commodities which will enable Industries to exist and perhaps enable all the people to prosper. By United Press WASHINGTON. April 24.—President Rooseevlt today sent to the senate the nomination of Rexford Guy Tugwell to be undersecretary of agriculture, anew position created by the chief executive. Mr. Tugwell has been assistant secretary of agriculture and his promotion was made on recommendation of Agriculture Secretary Henry A. Wallace.

MOORESVILLE ASKS TROOP PROTECTION Dillinger’s Home Village Requests Militia. John Dillinger Sr., the aged farmer who aroused a storm of protest by giving a chicken dinner for his notorious son two weeks ago, seemed unperturbed today over a resolution passed by the Mooresville town board last night demanding adequate miiitia protection for the town. Six solemn members of > the Mooresville town board, W. A. Lyon, president; Henry Wilson, E. N. Milhorn, O. F. Powell, J. F. Cox and Keith L. Wade, clerk-treasurer, passed the resolution brought about by remarks of A1 Feeney, state director of public safety. When word leaked out about the chicken dinner, Mr. Feeney said that the attitude of the town was anti-social in not reporting the incident. The resolution stated that no citizen wished to lose his life in capturing the fugitive and asked that Governor McNutt dispatch a sufficient number of national guardsmen to guard the town.

Patton told police that he paid Turner S2O for the tires which the police charged were stolen from the Sinclair Oil Company station, Tenth street and Indiana avenue. The loot consisted of ten new tires and ten tubes. When he asked the Negro for the S2O, Sergeant Haney explained, Turner told him that he had swallowed the currency. a a u ‘■npHAT'S very bad,” Captain A McMurtry repeated.

POSSES STALK DILLINGER MOB IN NORTHWEST

Grim Federal Agents and Hundreds of Local Officers Track Way Through Pine Forests in Wisconsin. INDIANS TAKE PART IN SEARCH Reports Indicate Fleeing Gangsters Have Doubled Back Through Area Where Two Were Slain Yesterday. (Pictures are on page 3) BULLETIN By United Press COLUMBUS, 0., April 24.—Reports that John Dillinger and three henchmen were sighted at 1 p. m. near Muncie, Ind., headed toward Ohio, were received this afternoon by the state highway patrol. Muncie police reported the car believed to contain the gangsters was a maroon colored Ford sedan, with Wisconsin license number B 455-209. The machine was speeding eastward. By United Press HURLEY, Wis., April 24.—Through snow-covered pine forests and in a half dozen cities of the northwest, grim federal agents and hundreds of local officers today stalked John Dillinger and his ruthless gang of gunmen. A tacit order to shoot to kill—to “play it safe”—went with the searchers. At least five members of the gang which yesterday battled law forces to a standstill in four bloody encounters were believed still lurking in the northern region thickly dotted with lakes and covered with dark forests. Dillinger, himself, perhaps was among them.

A Park Falls, Wis., policeman, Elmer Peterson, warned St. Paul, Chicago and all Wisconsin authorities last night to watch for five men in a mud-spattered, brown sedan. The five stopped in Park Falls about midnight to Ljuy gasoline and oil. Peterson said he was certain there were guns in the car, and that the man answered descriptions of the fleeing gangsters. Discovery of a Packard sedan, stolen early yesterday by two of Dillinger’s men from a resort owner near Spider Lake, Wis., at the end of a blind road, only fifteen miles from the resort, led to redoubled activity there. Pursuers believed the desperate men, afraid to return over their route when they discovered their road was a short lumber road, took to the woods afoot. The gigantic search, in which even Indians of the Lac de Flambeau and La Pointe reservations took part, pointed today toward this wide open, roistering border town, only a comparatively few miles from the spot where yesterday two men died and four were wounded in battles between Dillinger’s gang and officers.

Department’s Best Gunners Are Hurried to Wisconsin

By United Press PHILADELPHIA, April 24.—The most expert machine gunners from this district have been hurriedly dispatched west to aid in the hunt for John Dillinger. R. George Harvey, chief of the local division of investiga-

New Alarms Send Police Out on Highways Again

By United Press PARK FALLS, WIS., April 24—New alarms sent Wisconsin peace officers out on the highways again today in a hunt for members of the John Dillinger gang of outlaws who were reported to have appeared again in the region of yesterday’s bloody battles with federal agents.

Night Policeman Elmer Peterson of Park Falls warned Wisconsin, Chicago and St. Paul police to witch for the appearance of five men in a dark brown, mud-spat-tered sedan. Peterson warned that these men were believed to be the reunited remnants of a gang of desperadoes who bested several federal agents yesterday at the Little Bohemia lodge, near Eagle River. The five men appeared shortly after midnight at the lunch and gasoline station of Robert Sarning at Park FalLs. Four of them walked into Sarning’s establishment, while

doctor and cut you open and get that poison money out of you. It won’t make a very big hole,” he added. Turner suddenly was seized with an ague. ‘‘Now cap’n, yo’ honor,” he pleaded, ' that won’t do no good. Not a bit of good. No doctor’s gonna cut a guy open for S2O, is he?” “They won't, huh?” said Captain McMurtry, ‘'some of 'em will cut you open for nothing.” With visions of a pending major operation looming large, Turner was led to a cell after being charged with vagrancy, burglary and grand larceny. Powell was charged with vagrancy and Patton with receiving stolen goods.

HOME EDITION PRICE TWO CENTS Outside Marlon County. 3 Cents

After yesterday’s hot pursuit of three of the gangsters from Manitowish. Wis., to St. Paul, with the gunmen battling a deputy sheriff and stealing a motor car en route, the report today indicating that they had doubled back through the north country sent hundreds of officers pouring again over woodland roads. In isolated farm houses housewives bolted their doors, although Dillinger always has shown an eccentric consideration for noncombatants in his war with the law. Lonely country stores were closed and the whole countryside watched their roads apprehensively. A score of brawny lumberjacks, armed only with double-bitted axes and contemptuously unafraid of the city gangsters’ machine guns, left Hurley today to join in patrolling roads leading to the Canadian border. ' While the huge army of officers thrown into the search concentrated on the wilderness area, they gave active attention also to other reports. A Milwaukee street car conductor told police today that he saw a car containing four rifle-armed men leaving the Milwaukee city limits. Police and deputy sheriffs took up a pursuit through the country.

the fifth remained in the rear seat of ’’icir automobile. Saming reported that the men ordered beer and manipulated his radio, choosing Chicago stations and tuning them out when music was heard. He believed they sought to tune in on a police broadcast. Before leaving the men purchased twelve gallons of gasoline. Saming noted that their rear license plate had been bent so that its numerals could not be read. They stopped about sixty feet away from Sarning’s place and walked another twenty feet to the brightly lighted garage in which Harvey Hoffere, an attendant, was reading. The men purchased several quarts of oil for their automobile from Hoffere and he walked to their automobile to pour the oil into the car. The men trained a spotlight cn Hoffere during the time he was outside his garage. Hoffere said that at one time he caught -the glint of metal on the seat of the automobile and believed he saw a machine gun there. The men paid for their oil with bills from fat wallets, he said. The automobile was driven south to the Fifield road, which leads both to St. Paul and to another important highway from Chicago. Peterson said he believed the five men included the three men who were pursued by St. Paul police after driving to Minnesota from Eagle River and two others who had , escaped toward Duluth.
