HOOSIER SWIMMERS AND ANGLERS RISK DEATH IN GERM-INFESTED WATERS

Disease Lurks in Streams Polluted by Filth From Industry and Sewage, Times' Survey Reveals. DOCTORS LEND AID IN CRUSADE Laboratory Statistics, Physicians’ Statements Show Beaches, Rivers, Lakes and Creeks Are Danger Spots. BY ARCH STEVNEL Times Staff Writer Heat and the summer’s sun send Hoosiers to beaches, rivers, lakes, creeks. From Lake Michigan to the Ohio river, from the Mississinewa river on the east side of Indiana to the \\ abash and its winding way on the west, the streams are beloved spots for the anglers for bass and the devotees of a swandive. Some find their crappie and bass, some find cool shaded depths where water isn’t brackish.

But some are found by pollution from industry’s smoking factories that Dour ditches of waste into the pathway of some swimmer’s Australian crawl. B roll, colon barillas or human wastes populate the waters. The swimmer becomes ill. Serious illness—sometimes death—finds them just as they unwittingly find B roli. And some vacationists are found with rod and line casting, forever casting, for clean, healthy fish only to find their shouts at the tug of a line broken in disgust at the sight of the flippers of a carp or some other scavenger fish. The Indianapolis Times has made another summer survey of purported polluted waters of the state. The Times investigator has ranged the state from the white caps of I ake Michigan to the yellowing waters of the onoe beautiful blue Ohio river. Sulphuric Acid in Water The Times will show in this series swimmers, babes learning to mudcrawl. in waters that at times carry sulphuric acid. It will show how sewage disposal plants and the health of Hoosier cities and people have been made to wait the will of politicians who are more desirous of harvesting votes than cutting down the harvest of bacteria and its resultant cause of disease. It will show one city council refusing money from the United States government for a sewage system which would prevent it from polluting a stream at its very backdoor. The series will take you to the v?ry places where you swim or fish and will present laboratory statistics and doctor's statements on the danger of the water and its lack of fertility for aquatic life of an edible nature. Fishing Spots Gone It will show the homes of members of Indiana's Four Hundred, as well as those of other states, depreciating in value as the sewage from one city slowly surges upon their beaches. It will demonstrate that industry, sometimes, is more interested in the dollars saved in enlarged waterways than in the lives saved from damming up wastes or converting them into useful fertilizer for adding a few inches to the corn and wheat stalks of farmers. The series will take you to mosquito-laden cities where creeks —that wouldn’t be first class hogwallows —are permitted to pester citizenry because the "So-and-so's plant furnishes the pay roll for this town You mustn’t say anything about them. They might move away. Anything they do is all right with us." It will take you to spots that once were described in the state's history books as "abounding in fish" and that now abound in waterTum lo Page Three) Times Index Page Berg Cartoon 12 Bridge 6 Broun 11 Classified 16 Comics 17 Crossword Puzzle 18 Curious World 17 Editorial 12 Financial 13 Hickman—Theaters 15 Let's Go Fishing 15 I ippmann 11 Pegler 11 Radio 9 Serial Story 17 Sports 14. 15 State News 10 Vital Statistics 13 Woman's Pages 6. 7 Hourly Temperatures 6 a. m 71 10 a. m. ... 81 7a. m..„.. 74 11 a. m. ... 83 8 a. m 79 12 -noon> . 85 9 a. m 82 1 p. m. ... 86

COY MAY GET RELIEF BERTH McNutt Is Reluctant to Name Undersecretary to U. S. Post. Wayne Coy, undersecretary to Governor Paul V. McNutt, may succeed William H. Book as state unemployment relief director, it was reported today. Mr. Book resigned from the past to accept the pasition of vice-presi-dent and general manager of the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce. The Governor was reluctant to let him go, but finally agreed to relieve him of his duties. The Governor also is reluctant to appoint Mr. Coy because he feels his undersecretary is doing a firstrate job in his present post and his removal from the Governor’s office would be felt keenly. Mr. Coy is in charge of state penal affairs and the Governor is reported to feel that the time Mr. Coy has spent in mastering the details of that work would be wasted if he is named to succeed Mr. Book. The difficulty in filling the relief director job lies in the necessity for federal approval of the man chosen. There are at least a dozen applicants for the past, but only two or three are regarded of sufficiently high caliber. Mr. Coy. it is reported. has the approval of national relief officials.

STRIKE AGAIN THREATENING STEEL MILLS Labor Troubles Spread in U. $.; Roosevelt Keeps in Touch. Bv I'nitrd Press Labor troubles spread rapidly today, with the menace of strike violence developing in the steel and other industries. The Republic Steel Company refused to participate in a wage scale conference with unionists at Pittsburgh, while Akron Rubber Company strikers appeared to have tossed a side a settlement proposal. At Fall River, Mass., 2,000 American Thread Company workers walked out in a closed shop dispute. Other major strike developments: 1. Ohio onion growers faced possible court action for utilizing child labor, as sullen wives of arrested strikers picketed fields near McGuffey. 2. Federal mediators worked to end the violence marked strike of workers on the Seabrook Farms near Bridgeton. N. J. 3. Pacific Coast maritime strikers refused to yield in their demands as New York Longshoremen Union executives arranged to vote on a sympathy strike. The Great Lakes tugmen's strike continued with slight rospect of settlement. Fear Violence in State BLOOMINGTON, Ind., July 10. —Prompted by fear of severe violence unless labor difficulties in the Oolitic limestone district are settled immediately, frantic appeals for intervention by the national labor board were made today by sheriffs of Lawrence and Monroe counties. The violence will result if union members carry out scheduled plans to begin picketing mills and quarries in the district Thursday night, law enforcement officers said. Union officials are agreed that violence can be averted under present conditions, the sheriffs said. Resumption of picketing, with 2.500 men participating, was voted last night at a union meeting at Bedford. One man, whose name was not learned, was beaten severely in a disturbance at the Hoosier mill of the Indiana Limestone Company prior to the meeting. Roosevelt in Touch WASHINGTON, July 10.—Strikes in various parts of the country were regarded so seriously here today that President Roosevelt was wirelessed reports of the situation. The newly sworn-in national labor board plunged immediately into the task of preventing spread of violence and bloodshed from the Pacific coast and Bridgeton, N. J., scenes of serious rioting. The board, headed by Lloyd Garrison. hoped to be able to avert additional violence at least until President Roosevelt returns from his holiday on the cruiser Houston.

Li’l Arthur Picks John Dillinger to Aid Him in His Senatorial Campaign

BY BASIL GALLAGHER Times Staff Writer FROM a hundred political rostrums in the city and state the name of John Dillinger. Hoosier outlaw, will be shouted by Senator Arthur R Robinson in the coming senatorial fight. Public Enemy No. 1 will be dragged up to the platform in spirit to take his place beside the ’ abused veteran.” and other slightly shopworn members of Li'l Arthur’s gallery of political monstrosities. And that. Senator Robinson said today, should just about take care of the administration of Governor Paul V. McNutt.

Oh yes. there is one more thing. Senator Robinson also will investigate the public utilities act and steal some of the thunder of the Democratic nominee. Sherman R. Minton. But that is a sort of secret like the senator's attitude on the liquor situation. As for the national aspect of the Democratic opposition. Senator Robinson revealed that he is armed with other weapons to take care of President Roosevelt and the New Deal. Comfortably attired in a brown lounging jacket and wnite shirt open at the neck, the gentleman from Indiana reclined peacefully in the garden of his home. 5933 East Washington street, apparently undisturbed by the bulky spectre of James 'Big Jim> Farley, who is due in Indianapolis Friday ”to tear Li'l Arthur's hide off." according to reports.

*

Arthur Robinson

"Dillinger s name is synonymous with crime all over the country." said Senator Robinson, brushing back the bushy senatorial locks. "His name is in the mouths of children all over the nation. • The present crime wave is due largely to the state administration. Heretofore the penal institutions in Indiana have been kept above politics. Now the jails are filled with partisan employes. And not just Democrats, mind you, but McNutt Democrats.”

"Jackie” was the center of attention at William H. Coleman hospital today, as hospital and police officials sought his mother. The child was abandoned by the mother Saturday night. She placed him in a car in front of the hospital, with a note asking that he be taken care of. THE question of who wants “Jackie” held the attention of Indianapolis police and officials of the Indiana university medical center today. "Jackie,” who is fourteen days old, is an unexpected guest at the Coleman haspital.

CITY DEMOCRATS FACE SHAKEUP Boetcher Ax to Descend on Half of Ward Leaders, Is Hint. BY JAMES DOSS Times Staff Writer A 50 per cent reorganization of the city's Democratic ward chairmen is being worked out by Walter Boetcher, Democratic city chairman, it was learned today. Mr. Boetcher has not announced any changes, but he admitted that as many as half of the chairmen may be displaced and that the reorganization probably will be completed this w'eek or next. No reason for the scheduled junking of several chairmen has been voiced openly, but it is reported that factional differences are responsible. Mr. Boetcher is said to feel that he must have chairmen whose loyalty to him is undivided and several incumbents do not fall under that classification. Chief among the changes is the reported ousting of Mike O'Brien in the Eighth ward. Mr. Boetcher neither denies nor admits that Mr. O'Brien is scheduled to go, but it is reported that he will be suc(Ttirn to Page Three) PRESIDENT WELCOMED BY COLOMBIA LEADER Twenty-One-Gun Salutes Exchanged in Cartagena Harbor. By United Press CARTAGENA. Colombia. July 10. —President Roosevelt and President Herrera of Colombia exchanged warm and friendly greetings today as Mr. Roosevelt visited the first foreign country of his vacation trip. The cruiser Houston, bearing the President, arrived in Cartagena harbor escorted by two destroyers of the Colombian navy. Twenty-one-gun salutes were exchanged. The Houston will leave at nightfall for the Panama canal.

He was left, with a pitiful, pleading note, in the automobile of Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Wolf, 277 South Warman avenue, while they were visiting a relative in the hospital. That was Saturday night. The Wolfs turned the baby over to J. B. H. Martin, medical center administrator. Mr. Martin, believing that the mother might regret her action and call for the baby, delayed notifying police. All day Sunday hospital authorities waited for the mother. Long hours passed quickly Monday in the routine of the big medical plant. Then, late in the day, Mr. Martin called police. tt U tt DETECTIVES are looking for the mother, who can be charged with deserting an infant. If they find her, however, it is possible that aid may be obtained to enable her to keep the child. Otherwise, despite her expressed desire that this not be done, the child almost certainly will be placed in an orphan asylum. The hospital has no facilities to care for "Jackie” permanently. The note left with the baby reads as follows: “Please take care of my baby as I am unable to under the circumstances. I will claim him in about a year and try to repay you for any kindness you may have shown him. Please do not give him away. He is twelve days old. His formula consists of one measure of similac and two ounces of water. He last was fed at 7 o'clock. I am asking that you please do not make this public as I want him and this is the only thing I can do. I have a copy of this note to identify myself. “JACKIE’S MOTHER.” newTtay _ granted TO DOOMED MOTHER Lehman Again Signs Reprieve Halting Woman’s Execution. By United Press ALBANY. N. Y.. July 10.—Governor Lehman today granted anew reprieve to Mrs. Anna Antonio, Albany, mother of three children, who was scheduled to be executed in the electric chair Thursday night for the insurance slaying of her husband. The reprieve was until the week beginning Aug. 5.

Senator Robinson paused dramatically. “Indiana is swinging back to the good old G. O. P.,” he said, tapping the reporter’s knee for emphasis. “NRA and AAA have broken down completely. The bureaucratic trend of the government is unpopular with the masses. The Liberty Digest poll shows that Indiana

is anti-Roosevelt. The reporter attempted to point out that the Digest poll revealed the educators and common people of Indiana staunchly behind the Rooseveltian policies with the state bankers strongly against the New Deal. But Senator Robinson was warmning up to his subject. “And the veteran,” he said, "the poor veteran! Surely President Roosevelt in his radio speech the other night was not addressing the veterans when he asked the nation the rhetorical question. ’Are you better off this year than last?’ No, the President is not talking to the veterans when he asks that question. The veteran is worse off this year than ever before. I propose to emphasize the veterans' stand during mv campaign. “Those are the issues,” the senator said. “the

veterans. Dillinger and the crime wave, the collapse of the NP.A and the AAA, the collapse of the state administration, the ” "How about the liquor situation?" the senator was asked. A hurt lock crossed the senator's face at the interruption. "Liquor, oh, no, no, no!” he said hastily. "rrat. that's a vital situation, too,” this reporter ventured, ‘‘with all this dispute about 'by the drink' sales and everything." The senator's agitation was so apparent that the reporter decided not to speak of the Ku-Klux Klan.

5 COHN JURORS ARE ACCEPTED Defense Alludes to Rucker and Garvin Reports in Questioning. Five men had been accepted tentatively as jurors in the trial of Melville S. Cohn, a vice-president and director of the defunct MeyerKiser bank, charged with embezzlement, when criminal court adjourned for luncheon at noon today. At that time, the special panel of seventy-five called for the case had been more than half exhausted. Questioning of Duke Painter, 1505 Viila avenue, Big Four railroad conductor, the first man tentatively seated, indicated the line defense attorneys would follow. Frank Dailey, defense attorney, asked Mr. Painter first whether he knew Alvah J. Rucker, former Marion county prosecutor, or Thomas E. Garvin, receiver for the bank. Mr. Dailey inquired as to whether Mr. Painter had read the newspaper stories of the Rucker and Garvin reports. Mr. Painter, as was to be the case with the next two tentatively accepted, said he had read the newspaper reports, but had forgotten their contents. The attorney also probed for possible anti-Semitism, since Mr. Cohn is Jewish. The second and third jurors tentatively accepted are Lawrence Schneider, 118 Beech street, iron worker, and William Oliver, 1353 Edgemont avenue, an employe of Eli Lilly Company. They were followed by George M. Oberhiserof 2244 Central avenue, and Fred J. Schurman, 3045 Central. Earlier in the day, Special Judge Alexander Cavins had postponed a ruling on a question brought up yesterday by defense attorneys as to whether the state did not have to prove criminal intent to prosecute successfully under the statute under which the indictment is brought. The charge against Mr. Cohn and the three to be tried later is that they paid a dividend of $37.50 to one Albert Blue, a stockholder in the Fralich Realty Company of Gary, described by the state as a subsidiary of the bank, when the company was not making money. Stock in this company was sold extensively through the bank with income guaranteed, the state charges. Fire Razes Berlin School By United Press BERLIN.
