ROAD WORKERS CHARGE VOTE INTIMIDATION Commissioner Marker Denies Threatening County Employes. 150,000 WILL BALLOT Heaviest Visit to Polls in County Primary History Seen. Charges of intimidation of county employes was made today to The Indianapolis Times as the city and county precincts prepared for balloting in tomorrow’s primary. The vote tomorrow is expected to be the largest primary balloting in the history of the county. Election officials declared 150,000 voters are expected to go to the polls. The vote registration was 226.000. Alleged charges of intimidation came in the race for county commissioner of the Second district. Workers on county highway crews charged to The Times that Ernest Marker, candidate for renomination, told them at a meeting in the county yard that they would have to get out and wwk for him or lose their jobs after election. Mr. Marker denied the charges. ‘ What I did say was ‘lt's the duty of every one to whom we have been loyal, to return that loyalty to us and be just as loyal,’” declared Commisisoner Marker as he charged his words were misconstrued and that the attack w r as ‘ mud-slinging.” Returns to Be Slow ‘ And only yesterday at the poor farm I talked, and told every inmate and employe, entitled to vote, regardless of whether they were Democrat or Republican should do so and should not be hampered in exercising that right,” Mr. Marker said. Due to the large number of candidates in the primary and the lengthy ballots it is expected that returns will be slow in coming in. Certification of precinct boards has been difficult, it is reported by county chairmen of both parties, due to the lengthy and long time to count the votes. Board members previously selected have been with- I drawing because of belief that the j count will require two or three days j and that they receive pay but for j twenty-four hours. Polis open at 6 a. m. and close at 6 p. m. Urge Day-time Voting Housewives and those males able 1 to vote through the day are urged to do so to prevent a jam during opening and closing hours when workers cast their ballots. Many firms in the city are giving j their employes “time-out” during the day for balloting. Election supplies w r ere distributed yesterday at a meeting in Tomlinson j hall. A force of deputy prosecutors wall be on hand in the office of Prose- j cutor Herbert E. Wilson to answer any complaints at the polls and to aid police and deputy sheriffs in protecting the primary against fraudulent voting. Prosecutor Wilson requested voters reporting trouble to telephone Lincoln 6561. At Tomlinson hall yesterday. Superior Judge Russell J. Ryan spoke j in the abolition of the primary elec- : tion system at the meeting to give precinct election board last minute j voting instructions. Resuts of the primary voting will | be canvassed officially beginning at j a. m. Wednesday. Democratic ballots will be canvassed in criminal court and the Republican tabula-: tions in probate court.

Baker today announced he would not receive the delayed grand jury report on the defunct Meyer-Kiser bank until Thursday. The grand jury, it was learned, attempted to return indictments against four former officers of the bank last Friday, but was unable formally to file the indictments due to the absence of Judge Baker.

Wilson, prosecuting attorney, who is in charge of the investigation into the affairs of the bank, was present, it was learned, when the grand jury attempted to return the indictments. When Mr. Wilson heard of the absence of Judge Baker, he insisted to court attaches that the indictments were “most important.” Wilson Withholds Comment Frantic efforts were made to reach Judge Baker en route to the races, and urge him to appoint a pro-tem judge. Interviewed at his office today, Judge Baker said: “In order that the prosecutor may not be subjected to criticism of having timed a grand jury report for its political effect upon his candidacy, no report of the grand jury will be received in this court until Thursday morning of this week. “Grand jurors, the prosecutor and his deputies dre under oath to keep secret the proceedings of a grand jury.” Mr. Wilson refused to comment on Judge Baker’s statement. Four Reported Indicted For former officers of the bank are reported to have been under grand jury investigation. They are Ferd and Sol Meyer, Melville Cohen and j. J. Kiser. The Meyer-Kiser bank closed its doors May 11, 1931. Judge Earl Cox named Alvan Rucker as special investigator into the affairs of the bank.

The platinum blond film star revealed today she has separated from her husband. Harold G. Rosson, ace cameraman, with whom she eloped eight months ago. She plans to seek a divorce, she said. “It is the only way out for both of us,” the actress told friends. “It is wrong for us to go on together when we obviously are uncongenial.

Instructed to Resign “Arbitrarily, I had been instructed to resign as the head of these companies which I had built and which I had tried to protect. “I was told that I was no longer needed. Tired from the fruitless ; struggle to save the- investment of ! thousands of men and women, dis- ! couraged in my attempts to defend ; the investment of my friends and associates, as well as everything I had, I got out. “I wanted to rest. I knew that the work of reorganization by- the new management of the companies from which I had been asked to resign, would be hampered if I remained. Policies and administrative plans W’ere being altered to meet conditions I had not foreseen. The new management was entitled to a free hand, unembarrassed by any suggestion from me. "No charges were brought against me until I had been away for three j months. My return at that time I would have further complicated the problems of the reorganization of the companies. I Have Erred “Charges against me grew out of my business operations. My trial, I felt, prior to a reorganization and readjustment of the companies’ troubles, would hinder this recon- : struction. This, to me, was far more important than my fate, because it affected the investments of thousands of people. Then, too, from my own point of view, I was confident that my trial would be simplified if all the facts about the companies were known first and their reconstruction was well under way, before I was forced to face charges which had been placed against me. "I have erred but my greatest error was in underestimating the effect of the financial panic on American secuirties and particularly on the companies I was working so hard to build. “I worked with all my energy to save these companies. I made mistakes but they were honest mistakes. They were errors in judgment. but not dishonest manipulations. “The whole story nas not oeen told. You only know the charges of the prosecution. Not one word has been uttered in even a feeble defense of me. And it must be obvious that there also is my side of the sorty. “When it is told in court, my judgment may be discredited, but certainly my honesty will be vindicated.”

INSULL RUSHED TO CHICAGO BY U. S. AGENTS Ex-Utilities King Is Taken From Steamer, Put Aboard Train. ROUTE IS KEPT SECRET Ready for Fight of Life, Says Magnate, Under Heavy Guard. By United Press ABOARD PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD TRAIN, CHICAGO-BOUND, May 7.—Samuel Insull, heavily guarded and his route still secret, was on the last stage of his long journey from Turkey to Chicago today in the custody of federal of- : fleers. The former utilities executive said he was ready for the “fight of my life” for vindication. The government kept up the seccecy surrounding return of Insull by hinting that the party in which he is a prisoner might change trains en route to Chicago. They boarded a Pennsylvania train which made a special stop at Princeton Junction, N. J., at 10:03 a. m. In an amazing twenty-four hours, Insull had been taken without ceremony from the steamship Exilona, lying off Sandy Hook, and rushed by government cutter to Ft. Hancock, where he was transferred by motor to the junction point where the train for Chicago was boarded. He faces charges of embezzlement in Chicago. With him was his son, Samuel Insull Jr., who had met the onetime multi-millionaire at sea to offer him aid and comfort on the last thousand miles of his 7.000-mile trip. Their meeting was the only moment of emotion shown by Samuel Insull upon his arrival. Four automobiles, escorted by state troopers, bounced the prisoner and the accompanying party of government officials and correspondents, in rapid order, over the fortyseven miles from Ft. Hancock to the junction. On the way, the party passed the Great Freehold (N. J.) electric plant, once a part of Insull’s great possessions. Maintains Calm Courtesy At the junction, Insull maintained his calm courtesy, end permitted photographers again to take pictures. Issuing a statement in connection with the case, Insull said, among other things: “The whole story has not yet been told . . . There were errors in judgment, but not dishonest manipulations.” His statement read: “I am back in America to make the most important fight of my life —not only for freedom, but for a complete vindication. Two years ago when I left this country, there were no charges against me. “When I left the companies which over a period of forty years I had helped build were in the process of reorganization. The terrific stresses of the depression and the mistakes which I made in an honest effort to protect the companies and the investors in them made a reorganization necessary.

Collegians Put Under Heavy Bond Two Blackmail Suspects Penitent; $25,000 Bail Set. Tearful and penitent, the two i college youths who are alleged to j have attempted to extort $25,000 from Eli Lilly, Indianapolis philan- | thropist, w'ere arraigned before Fae jW. Patrick, United States commissioner, today and placed under $25,000 bond each. They will be held in county jail until the federal grand jury meets in September. The two young men. Carlos McNeil, 26, and James B. Wood, 23, stared miserably at the floor and began to sob when Howard Coughran, assistant district attorney, said: “The country is fighting this type of crime. We must take drastic measures to curb such lawlessness.” S. C. Kivett, Martinsville attorney, representing the youths, pleaded for a reduction of bond. Mr. Patrick replied that the charge was too serious. Present in the courtroom was E. J. Wynn, special department of justice agent, who made the arrest, and the parents of the boys. Dr. J. H. McNeil, Morgan county coroner and father of Carlos, explained to reporters that his son had been wandering about the country looking for employment so that he might become married. He declared that his son had become morose and discouraged during the last few months. The defendants are alleged to have threatened the family of Eli Lilly with kidnaping if Mr. Lilly did not place $25,000 at a designated place. Together with Mr. Wynn, the philanthropist traveled to Martinsville looking for a white flag, the sign at the spot where the money was to be dropped. The arrests were made by tracing the flag as one stolen from a Paragon church. The typewrited used to write the threatening note was checked also.

Reynolds said some 250 police characters whom Dillinger might try to reach if he is in Chicago were under observation. Telephone wires have been tapped and men sit with earphones on their heads in twoheur shirts around the clock.

Experienced farmers point out that this is the time when the oats, wheat and grass most seriously are affected in their growth, and predict that if rain does not fall within the next few days, the results will be disastrous. Temperature for the first six days this month has run consistently above normal. Maximum and mean temperatures for the six days are May 1, 74 and 53, 6 above normal; May 2. 81 and 59, 12 afrove normal;

Farnol’s Thrilling Serial to Start on Wednesday ROMANCE, in the form of beautiful women and bold but honest heroes, mingles with the clash of dueling swords in th? exciting novel, “The Amateur Gentleman,” to be run in serial form in The Times, starting Wednesday. Love pushes aside the distinctions of class and birth as the hero suddenly receives a large inheritance and begins his adventures in the heartless world of lacquered society. The hero is an adventure-craving youth who deliberately plots tumultuous events that upset the whole course of life. He is a Don Quixote with a purpose, a D’Artagnan and a Sir Galahad thrust into modern society. Absolute impossibilities become, under the light pen of Jeffrey Farnol, the author, the most natural events. Farnol has the reputation of enchanting readers from Walla Walla to Brooklyn with his striking melodramas. His writings are a release from the daily monotony. There is nothing anemic about Famol’s characters. They are all furious, passionate people who would as soon shoot or kiss as snap their fingers. They all become dangerously tangled up only to fall into serene ways in the final fadeout on the last page.
