MISStSSINEWA POLLUTED BY PAPER PLANT Once Beauty Spot, Loved by Indians, River Now Is Stream of Waste. EATON REFUSES TO ACT Strawboard Firm Trying to Check Damage', Officials Say. BY ARCH STEINEL Time, Stlf Writer • The white man couldn't give the Mississinewa river back to the Indians now, no matter how much he wanted to—the Indians are far too smart. This seems an inescapable conclusion after a close survey of the present polluted state of this stream, which years a*o so beautiful thaf it attracted the valiant Miami Indians Irom another beautiful river lr Ohio to live along its banks. Now, however, the Indians would not take the river back, even if the state would throw in a fish hatchery or two for good measure. And the Indians would need the fi'-h hatcheries if they took the river, for the game, tasty fish they once took from its waters are gone. Playground for Scavengers Waste from the Eaton strawboard plant of the Ball Brothers Manufacturing Company, Muncie. has made the river just another playground for carp and catfish, the seaxengrrs among fish. Twenty-four hours a day the Eaton plant sends into the river a mush which takes the oxygen from the water. Game fish need oxygen. The Mississinewa is shy the life-giving substance and so they hunt for cleaner and clearer waters j or turn up their flippers and die. Swimming in the Mississinewa is ~ust a dare than no one takes except the immatifce. Livestock shy away from its borders. When the Miamis came to Mississinewa, its banks carried swamp rider, butternut, paw-paw trees. , iron wood and other redolent trees* and shrubs. ‘Most Beautiful’ Stream The Miamis were good river handicappers. or at least the state histories credit them witii it, for i they say of the tribe: "The Miamis came to the most | beautiful river in Indiana—the Mississinewa ... It had a winding bed. high cliffs. Wild grapes abounded. The stream was wellstocked with numerous varieties of fish. The fish were easy prey to aeilc Indians skilled with bow and arrow. The springs gushing from banks furnished an abundance of excellent water for man and beast.” But that was in the dear, dead, days beyond recall. Now the Mississinewa is rated at Eaton as an A-No-l breeder of giant gillinapers, than which there is no bigger or more ferocious mosquito. Only the garden-worm hunter fishes in it and hopes for catfish that will fry to a tasty brown without giving him indigestion. Eaton Is Apathetic Eaton in general is apathetic to the pollution of its river. A weekly pav roll of SI.BOO from the strawboard plant us Eaton's sugar-jar. It wants to keep the jar filled. Harry Neff, a banker, expresses the town's sentiment with the exception of a few living on the river bank who are not employed at the strawboard plant, with, “whatever the strawboard plant wants, \vc want.” The sanitary division of the state health board savs ot the pollution of the river: "Industrial waste (Turn to Page Three> WOMAN PROSTRATED BY HEAT: MERCURY AT 89 ( ooling Showers Promised City This Afternoon.

Peace in Balance, World . Awaits Speech by Hitler Way Is Open for Germany to Join in Security Pacts: All Europe Sees Danger Ahead. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Scripps-Howard Foreign Editor WASHINGTON. July 13. —Diplomats here and in capitals the world over today had their eyes on Germany and Adolf Hitler as they anxiously waited to see if history would repeat.

Twenty years ago this Friday the thirteenth Europe's peace hung in the balance which a single man could sway. The Archduke Francis Ferdinand had been slain at Sarajevo. Germany and Austria virtually had decided to -pure" Serbia. The decision was up to Kaiser Welhelm n. He gave carte blanche to . the purgers. a decision which cost him his empire. 9.000.000 men their lives, and wrecked a world. Today Germany's destiny again was in the balance. In fifty world capitals statesmen were listening to learn, if they could, which wav former Corporal Hiller, her newmaster. would tip the scales As matters stand. Hitler has bren outplayed at every turn By his policies which have caused him to collide with Jews. Catholics. Protestants, and Masons, his country is boycotted and isolated. Germany's neighbors, big and little. have formed self-protection pacts. The "iron ring” once so feared by the kaiser is on the point of becoming a reality to an extent even he never dreamed. Germany has but two ways out. The pacts of mutual protection purposely have been left wide open

Hitler, in today's world-wide broadcast <1 p. m., Indianapolis time', with the puppet reichstag. as his visible audience, was expected to make use of Germany’s “encirclement” as an antidote for the wave of horror now sweeping his country as a result of his wholesale use of the firing squad Dragging in a foreign bugaboo is one of Europe's oldest tricks, though usually it leads only from the frying pan into the fire It merely substitutes a foreign imbroglio for civil war. Adding to the perilous situation is the increasing tension between Germany and Austria. There seems little likelihood of a clash at this time—unless the present German rulers have lost their reason completely. Germany's way out seems to lie in the direction of the new European peace lineup. Should Hitler scorn now held out to him Europe's future would loom dark, indeed.

FREE CARE FOR LI'L ARTHUR KIT Doctors Condemn Hospital Service to Officials at Public Cost. BY DANIEL M. KIDNEY Times Staff Writer WASHINGTON, July 13.—Free hospitalization for highly paid governmental officials, such as that obtained recently by Senator Arthur R. Robinson (Rep., Ind.) at Walter Reed hospital here, was roundly scored today by the District of Columbia Medical Society. In a report by the society’s committee on medical economics, it was pointed out that senators and other high-ranking and well-paid officials of the federal government are usurping hospital facilities, provided for poorly paid members of the nation’s armed forces, to obtain medical care. Just before leaving for Indiana, Senator Robinson spent about two weeks at the hospital as an exservice man, getting himself in physical shape for the fall campaign. The senator's salary is SIO,OOO less a 5 per cent pay cut. Here is what the medical society committee report said about such things: * “These public servants are for the most part adequately compensated and their incomes are far above the average for the American citizen, including the physician. Furthermore, their duties entail no hazardous service and their offices are keenly sought by the aspiring citizen. "It would appear, therefore, that the American people having elevated lone of its citizens to such an office should not be required to pay the | personal expenses of the incum- ! bent.'’ i The report concludes with the statement that such practices should cease immediately. HARROO DESIGNS AS LIGHT CO. PRESIDENT Harry Pritchard New City Power Firm Head. Harry T. Pritchard, formerly of Chicago, today had taken over the duties of president of the Indianapolis Power and Light Company, following the resignation of Clifford L.

Mr. Pritchard, formerly executive vice-president of the Utilities Power and Light Company, Chicago, arrived in Indianapolis about a week ago and has been familiarizing himself with his new position. Mr. Harrod plans to take a vacation of several weeks and then, probably, to open offices here as a consulting engineer. He has done similar work in the past. G. S.

NAB HANRAHAN IS VICTW M It* TEST Police Arrest Pennhoff Grill Owner, Who Is Freed in SSOO Bail. Michael J. Hanrahan. 46. of 523 West Fortieth street, proprietor of Hanrahan’s Pennhoff Grill, 23 North Pennsylvania street, was arrested there shortly before noon today on a charge of selling spirituous beverages. Thus, after two and a half days of warning, the police made their test case under the recent interpretation of the attorney-general’s office that by-the-drink sales are banned under Indiana’s liquor law. Both police and Mr. Hanrahan agreed that it was not a prearranged arrest. “It just had to be me,’ he commented at the police station. “It looks like I'm always selected.” Mr. Hanrahan. a well-known figure in Indianapolis, was arrested by Sergeant Ed Kruse and patrolman Kenneth Downs. Sergeant Kruse had been called into conference this morning and told to go out and make the arrest. This was the first official action apparently, although Fred Simon, acting, police chief, had been insisting since Tuesday that the entire department was working on the case. Big Moment Arrives The police had instructions to make the purchase themselves, Chief Simon fearing that this might constitute entrapment under the law. Sergeant Kruse 'and Patrolman Downs were enjoying beer and sandwiches at the Pennhoff, a popular night spot, when the moment for which they were waiting arrived. Their story of what happened follow's: Charles Silk, 60, Bainbridge, Ind., entered. “Give me a shot,” he asked Mr. Hanrahan, who was behind the bar. While the two policemen watched, Ed Hunter, 25, of 518 Taft street, entered and repeated Mr. Silk’s order. Again, Mr. Hanrahan served the drink, according to the police. This time the policemen acted. One seized the glass which Mr. Hanrahan is said to have filled. The other seized the bottle of what appeared to be Old Ironsides whisky from which Mr. Hanrahan had poured. Bill Also Seized. Then, one of their, got the $1 bill which Mr. Hunter had laid down on the bar. They had seen Mr. Silk lay down a piece and receive 15 cents in change, they said. “I’m sorry,” Mr. Hanrahan said when they arrested him. At headquarters he made bail of SSOO at once through A1 Farb, profescsional bondsman, and was ordered arraigned tomorrow morning before Municipal Judge William H. Sheaffer. The arrest of Mr. Hanrahan, according to Chief Simon, will end police action until the case has been carried through the courts since it is the city's intention to determine on how firm a legal ground it stands on before wholesale arrests are made. This means, in effect, that all restaurants and barrooms in town can continue to serve hard liquors by the drink without fear of molestation. Politics Are Denied The places visited by Sergeant Kruse’s squad, which consumed a not inconsiderable amount of beer and sandwiches in the trip, were all .in the downtown district. There was some comment in political circles over the fact that Mr. Hanrahan has the reputation of having considerable influence with the Republican party. The present city administration is Democratic. Batting Average: .429 While the flower of the Indianapolis police force was scouring the : j city, as it is reported to have been ' since Tuesday, seeking a by-the- \ drink liquor seller a Times reporter made a survey of conditions in the vicinity of police headquarters. He was able to compile a batting average of .429 in his tour. At the first two spots, the thirsty one was greeted with an emphatic ] “Nix. not here; not now, anyhow.” Number three proved to be the charm. Twenty cents was the price of a whisky and water, but only after some hesitation and a whispered “Pretty tough now'. We’re waiting for a goat.” Ditto at stop number five. The whisky and the price w'ere the same, but the question. “How do i you get away with it?” brought I only an enigmatic smile. The proprietor at number six said. “No. We don’t and we won’t : until it’s legal.” At number seven the drink cost | two-bits.

‘Too Bad’ Is Hull Reply to Germany Secretary of State ‘Regrets’ Reich ‘Misconstrued’ Johnson Speech. By United Press WASHINGTON, July 13.—General Hugh S. Johnson’s remarks on German Nazi executors brought an immediate protest today from the Germany embassy and resulted in the state department “regretting” that General Johnson's Waterloo, la., speecn nad been . “misconstructed as official.” Mr. Hull refused to amplify on the statement event to the extent of saying whether or not he considered that this closed the incident. If the incident is closed, it will be one of the quickest ends to such a diplomatic incident on record. The incident became an international affair today when Dr. Rudolph Leitner, charge d’affaires of the German embassy called on Mr. Hull. Leitner, smiling and debonair, as he went into Hull’s office apeared somewhat agitated after his conference. Statement Is Issued An hour later came a statement of explanation. The statement said: "The German charge d’affaires protested to the secretary of state against remarks reported to have been made by General Hugh S. Johnson in a speech on July 12, 1934, relative to recent events in Germany. “The secretary of state called Dt. Leitner’s attention to the published statement of General Johnson to the effect that he 'was speaking an an individual and not for the state department or for the administration.’ Mr. Hull said it was to be regretted that the position in the government occupied by the speaker made it possible for remarks uttered by him as an individual to be misconstrued as official.” Johnson Stands Pat In typical fashion General Johnson refused today to back down from his outspoken condemnation of the German “bloody week-end.” “I meant everything I said,” said Johnson. “I will not take anything back and I do not expect to be ‘called down by the state department.” In his speech he said: “A few days ago, in Germany, events occurred which shocked the world. I don’t know how they may have affected you but they made me sick—not figuratively but physically and very actively sick. The idea that adult responsible men can be taken from their homes—stood up against a wall—backs to the rifles—and shot to death—is beyond expression. I have seen something of that sort in Mexico during the Villa ravages and among semi-civilized people or savages half drunk on sotol and marajuana—but that such a thing should happen in a country of supposed culture, passes comprehension.”

Ed Jackson’s Brother Is Indiana’s New Klan Chief Takes Over Headquarters Here, Admits Organization Will ‘Take Interest’ in Fall Campaign. BY JAMES DOSS Times Staff Writer James Jackson, brother of former Governor Ed Jackson, has taken over the Indiana affairs of the Ku-Klux Klan, succeeding Harry B. (Doc>

Ferrell, it was ieamea uoaay. At Klan headquarters, 435 Knights of Pythias building, Mr. Jackson was somewhat noncommittal about the Klan’s affairs, but admitted *he was in charge of the office. Mr. Jackson said he was “going to a somew'hat different sort of work than that in w'hich Mr. Farrell ias been engaged.” Mr. Jackson said further Mr. Farrell never may return here. Mr. Jackson rormerly was head of the state feeble-minded school at Ft. Wayne during his brother’s tenure as Governor. James Jackson quitted that post in 1929 and said he since has been engaged in real estate and surety bond business and would continue them in addition to his duties with the klan. Mr. Jackson said he has been in charge of klan headquarters two days. Asked about what part the onetime politically powerful klan will attempt to play in (he fall election, Mr. Jackson was guarded in his replies. He said the# organization's membership has shown a "considerable increase, one that would be surprising to a great many people.” “A great many people feel that the purpose for which the Idan was organized still exist,” Mr. Jack-' son said. Asked if the klan would put a slate into the field this fall in the election, he said he was unable to say, but did admit that “the klan probably take an interest in the election.”

By United Press Food supplies for more than 1,000,000 Americans were imperiled today as striking labor prepared to lay siege to two cities. In San Francisco, 20,000 union workers were on strike. Violence dared on the waterfront. Vandalism, pillage and kidnapings broke out in other sections of the city. In Minneapolis, 6,000 truck drivers prepared to walk out Monday. Union leaders hoped to have a general strike in effect within a week. Drivers in the Twin City of St. Paul refused to strike, but Minneapolis labor leaders refused to be swayed by their action. In northern Indiana, 120,000 persons were without their morning milk delivery.

HOKE QUITS AS RELIEF CHIEF Commissioner to Remain on Board; Resigns as of Aug. 15. Fred Hoke, national emergency relief commissioner for Indiana, has resigned his post effective Aug. 15, it was learned today. He will remain on the relief board, however. Mr. Hoke’s resignation was due entirely to private demands upon his time, it was indicated by Governor Paul V. McNutt, who voiced regret at losing him. “Fred has done an outstanding piece of work and his resignation is a loss to the state,” the Governor said. The Governor asserted no decision yet has been made as to Mr. Hoke's successor. A successor also is scheduled to be appointed to William H. Book, who has resigned as director of the Governor’s commission on unemployment relief. The vacancy will be filled Tuesday at a conference between Governor McNutt and Howard Hunter, FERA field representative. There are five outstanding contenders for the position. ASSIGNS HAItTmARINES U. S. Orders Third of Group to San Diego. By United Press WASHINGTON, July 13—A third of the United States marines being removed from Haiti will be stationed at the San Diego (Cal.) base, marine headquarters said today.

When he indicated reluctance to talk for publication, it was suggested that he not say anything he did not want to see in print. “Be fair, will you?” the former Governor’s brother asxed. “I can’t see why you fellows want to ‘ride’ the klan anyway—a lot of you who used to ‘ride’ the klan w’hen it was in the height of its pow'er, were members. “So were a lot of judges and public officials,” he added, a trifle regretfully, it appeared. Mr. Jackson said he did not know anything about the report that Mr. Ferrell’s domestic difficulties caused his severance from the klan. Suit was filed in superior court yesterday by Mr. Ferrell against Mrs. Nina Russell Ferrell. The klan official alleged his wife falsely accused him of infidelity and with improper conduct with their eldest daughter, 18. The Ferrells, married nineteen years, have four children. The present three-roonv klan headquarters are a far cry from the luxury enjoyed by the organization in the days when D. C. Stephenson's word was law to Indiana’s public officials. A far cry. indeed, from the days when “Steve” could give Mr. Jackson’s brother that $2,500 horse.

President Roosevelt’s mediation board, tired and exhausted from its long effort to bring peace in the embroiled maritime dispute, reached anew impasse when longshoremen charged that employers, in agreeing to arbitration, had exempted other maritime unions. The calm that settled over the waterfront since last Thursday’s fatal rioting which caused Governor Frank Merriam to call out the national guard, was broken last night. Young Sailor Shot Strike pickets shot Jerry Duffy, 19, San Pedro sailor, in the stomach as he stood on the deck of an inbound McCormick line ship. He may live.

Union Loses Charter By L nitid Press MINNEAPOLIS. July 13. Six thousand truck drivers and their fighting women prepared feverishly today for the warfare of a violent strike, undeterred by threats of martial law and the denunciation* of their own union officials. Myles Dunn, secretary of the Minneapolis union, revealed that the charter of his local union 574 has been canceled by officers of the international union at Indianapolis. “They call this a ’wildcat’ strike,” Dunn said. "Well show them what a wildcat is and thank them to step aside from difficulties between uaand our employers.”
