BOAT COMPANY Vlbl ATED WAR LAW. IS CLAIM

Ships Sold to Italy Despite Neutrality Rule, Is Charge. 'Continued From Pifr Onr| hid lniperted submarines a year before the United States entered the World war. Senator' Clark also introduced that evidence at the third day of the senate's spectacular hearing into! ramification of munitions sales | over the world. Henry R. Carv. president of the j company, testified the United States government was not advised of the transaction. “Whal was the purpose of the se- ; erecv?** Senator Clark asked. Mr. Carse said he thought ship- j ment of the vessels was not made until after the United States en- . tered the war. The boats were motor yachts, ! wh.ch, company officers said, were shipped on the decks of larger craft and not subject to exclusion under i neutrality laws. Roster, correspondence revealed, j was decorated by the Italian gov- i emment in 1920. “What was that for?” Senator Clark asked. “Oh. I don't know," Mr Carse replied. wearily. "That didn't im- j press me. It didn't mean anything i anyway " • According to earlier testimony. Roster was reported throughout Europe to be an 'international spy.” Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg ‘Rep.. Mich.), attending the inquiry for the first time, charged that the 1 company “doubled" Roster's salary j in 1927 immediately after expressing j i;n opinion that the Paris agent “doesn't produce anything.” Mr. Carse explained it was im- j possible to discharge Roster because 1 he was doing "important work” in connection with the United States- j German mixed claims commission. Returning to an earlier phase of , the inquiry. Mr. Carse explained how Germany obtained Electric Boat patents by which they built the famous U-boats, which sank American ships during the World war. He said the Rrupp company. I powerful German munitions firm, ' took possession of certain patents i which Electric Boat filed in Ger- j many. “We brought action in the patent courts of Germany.” he said. “We ; sued Rrupp for a certain sum and they offered a nominal payment, claiming that the patents covered only minor features of the boats. “We contended it was an important part.” The case was appealed by both j parties, he said, but before a final j settlement could be made the war j broke out. After the armistice, the j matter was referred to a mixed ; claims commission. Records showed that 441 boats had been built on the patents, and the boot company asked $40,000 in damages for each vessel. MRS.

Man and the Machine LOOMS . . . hundreds of thousands like this . . . chattering mechanisms with clamorous shuttles, watched by tense, deft workers ... drawing billions of threads into the cloth you wear and use. . . . Often they have woven anew pattern into industrial life—more speed, more cloth, fewer men, shorter hours. And now the man at the loom wants working time lessened for himself and about 500,000 other workers in order that approximately 125,000 now unemployed may have new jobs. . . . He knows there! will be violence and nation-wide alarm. . . . He wonders when he will come back to help pick up the tangled threads of progress.

INDIANA PRISON SETUP FLAYED J. Edgar Hoover Urges Adoption of Proposal of The Times. (Continued From Page One) federal government's chief operative said. “The same civil service rules should apply to the county jails. I certainly favor The Times' plan for giving the state supervision over these jails. That is the only way to get away from the privileged prisoner and establish some standards of discipline in all counties of the state. It stamps out the danger of local politics.” Citing the Dillinger case as a "horrible example.” Mr. Hoover said that the institutional record of that outlaw should have been sufficient to keep him from being paroled. Points Out Law's Side He pointed out that Dillinger's parole resulted directly in the prison delivery and the unprecedented trail of death and bank robbery. Dillinger's Crown Point “escape” was the cause of the killing of one of his own federal agents in Wisconsin. he said. “There are some persons who go about bewailing the fact that Dillinger shouldn't have received the long-term original sentence.” Mr Hoover continued. “They say it made him bitter. But. what about the rights of society in this matter. the rights of the widows and orphans which were made because of his bitterness? Certainly, that should be part of the picture.” “New York City recognized that fact,when they didn't let the Dillinger family troupe perform.” Pleads for Merit System Although he said he was not familiar with the details of Dillinger's ! “wooden pistol” escape at Crown Point. Mr. Hoover did say that he j understood the jail itself was well ' constructed. “Such things can not happen without misfeasance or malfeasance on the part of jail officials.” he declared. “The only way to stop that is to adopt the merit system in its entirety. “Low paid guards constitute one of the factors which result in brutality, inefficiency and bribe-taking, j both in state prisons and county jails.” Mr. Hoover asserted. “Do not think that I am opposed i to an adequate parole system,” he concluded. “There are some first offenders who can be rehabilitated and restored to society. But. it takes an intelligent, non-political board of well qualified experts to sort them out.” OFFICER IS ADVANCED Major Bluemrl Is Promoted to Lieutenant-Colonel by Army. Major Clifford Bluemel, Eleventh infantry- executive officer of the Indiana division of the civilian conservation corps, ha? been advanced j to lieutenant-colonel. Orders from ■ the war department for the adj vancement were received at Ft. Benjamin Harrison yesterday.

YOUTH LEARNS CRIME'S TRICKS IN FEWWEEKS Case Is Pointed Example of Evils in State Penal System. (Continued From Page One)

during his. fourteen years of service in the prison he has seen only one sane convict, a Negro named Boone, thrown in with the insane inmates. The Negro, according to Mr. Schmuhl, became so difficult to the guards that the then warden, Walter H. Daly, ordered him “thrown over the wall” into the insane ward. Such conditions, prisoners and officials agree, arouse well-'behaved inmates to the point of desperation. The risks of a dash for freedom over the wall are to be preferred to the risks of remaining, one prisoner said. Separation Is Necessary Separation of the sexually normal from the perverts: segregation of hardened, desperate men from first offenders are described by prison authorities as abjectives of a wellmanaged penal system. In order to show more clearly the evil roots which have wound themselves around the state prison at Michigan City, choking out all efforts to establish an intelligent and humane prison administration, at the request of the reporter, an inmate retired to his cell and wrote out answers to specific questions. “How does the old orde compare with the present order of *. anagement, and what is the re., ’tion among the inmates? Is there evidence of a pronounced favorable response to change, and is the general morale better now than it was under the old management?” “There is a decided change for the better,” was the‘answer. ‘ The general morale is better and the men are manifesting a genuine desire to carry their part of a trying burden. Brutality has been abolished and intelligence substituted in dealing with Infractions of the rules. Comparisons are always difficult and that is not the proper approach.

Several Ended Lives “Under the old order violence was manifested in the form of protest with ugly tempers on every hand. Fights occurred almost daily—usually with knives or other deadly weapons. This resulted in two killings, while many men were disfigured for life by ghastly slashes about their faces. One man’s skull was crushed and another stabbed to death. This was due wholly to the methods of official management, and not to the prisoners.” Several inmates committed suicide; others tried i£ and failed, the prisoner w'rote in answer to questions. “Men walked off the prison farm in groups and on one occasion drove away a dairy herd and sold the prison cattle in the Chicago market. “One man was pardoned to marry a young girl whom he had compromised while exerting liberties granted. One favorite lived in almost open adultery with the wife of a guard on one of the prison farms,” the prisoner claimed. How many of these incidents might have been avoided through competent psychiatric analysis of prisoners, penal experts do not know. They do claim that proper separation of the inmates into well defined classes of reliability would have prevented many stains on the record of Michigan City prison. Tomorrow’s installment will deal with “Rosenburg,” sailor, stick-up man, profesisonal wrestler, Michigan City prison inmate, who breaks the convict’s code and talks.

FRANKLIN JAIL BREAK FOILED Four Prisoners Discovered in Act of Prying Up Steel Plates. By United Prens FRANKLIN, Ind., Sept. 6.—Four prisoners seeking to escape from the Johnson county jail a second time were thrwarted by Sheriff Albert M. Mulkins late yesterday when he discovered an attempt to remove steel plates from the bull pen floor. They are James Mathis, 26, Franklin: Virgil Witham, 23, Franklin; Jerry Griffin, 21, Indianapolis, and Bethel Adams, 29„ Greenwood. Mathis, Witham, Griffin and Chester Carson, Indianapolis, escaped two weeks ago, but were captured a short time later. Adams was in on the escape, but failed to get outside the jail. Sheriff Mulkins said that Carson apparently was not in on the plot discovered yesterday. The four prisoners had been in the bull pen while bars which they had sawed in first delivery were being repaired. They obtained a coat hanger and dragged a heavy wooden bench from an adjoining cell close enough to take it apart. With the wooden blocks from the bench, they had started to pry up steel plates from the cell floor, hoping to escape through the basement, Mulkins said. Sentenced in Book Theft Convicted on charge of stealing 187 volumes from the Indiana Historical Society library, Arnold Meger, 2306 North New Jersey street, was sentenced to 180 days on the state farm, and a fine of $lO and costs by Judge Dewey Meyers today.

BOYS’ SCHOOL GRID STARS TO USE SUITS OF PURDUE’S-HEROES

Numerals which have flashed to fame over Purdue university's football field on the backs of “Boilermaker” stars will make sec-ond-run appearances this fall —on the football fields of the Indiana Boys’ school, Plainfield. This was assured yesterday when Noble Kizer, Purdue coach, called on A1 G.

All Indiana coaches have promised co-operation and Mr. Kizer and Elmer Layden, Notre Dame university coach, have promised to visit the school to speak to the young players. Other coaches are expected to follow Mr. Kizer shortly with specific gifts of equipment.
