DETECTIVES RETAIN CUSTODY OF PAIR IN MURDER PROBE Child Neglect Charges Replace Vagrancy Counts as Attorney Seeks Release of Jacobs, Boy’s Mother. HOMICIDE SQUAD CONTINUES QUIZ §2,000 Bond Set by Juvenile Judge Despite Vehement Protests of Lawyer for Couple; Police Challenged. After giving the pair’s attorney a very bad forty-five minutes this morning, police this afternoon still were holding Mrs. Dimmie Dillon, 35, mother of the brutally murdered Donald Dillon, and Gilbert Jacobs, 37, for whom she keeps house at 1871 Shelby street, while homicide squad detectives pressed their investigation into the 13-year-old boy’s death. The day opened with the attorney, Lawrence Shaw, apparently oi*the offensive. Petitions for writs of habeas corpus, on which he hoped to gain their freedom from custody, were returnable in Sultrier Judge Joseph R. Williams’ court, and it seemed that l>olice would have to display what progress, if any, they had made in making a case against Mrs. Dillon and Jacobs, both of whom had been held in $5,000 l>ond on vagrancy charges.

Then, after detectives had gone to the county jail to get Mrs. Dillon, apparently to take her to sui>erior court, the police l>cgap their maneuvers. Warrants, sworn out with a minimum of fuss in juvenile court, were produced which charged Mrs. Dillon with child neglect and Jacobs with contributing to child neglect. •Bond of $2,000 was set in each instance. Simultaneously, vagrancy charges were dropped. This automatically ended any chance of a hearing on the habeas corpus writs. Mr Shaw, however, refused to believe this and appeared before Judge Williams. "It appears.” he shouted, “that the police are afraid to press their case. I challenge them to make murder charges." • Mr. Shaw.” interrupted City Attorney James Deery. his voice rich with sarcasm, “all the reporters are not here yet. Aren't you hurrying things a little bit?” Goes to Juvenile Court Mr. Shaw then proceeded to juvenile court and asked Judge John C. Geckler there to lower the bond, repeating his challenge to the police department and adding that he believed it would be afraid to pursue the child neglect charges. "You don't want me to acquit these people on charges of murder in this court, do you?" Judge Geckler asked. "They have been threatened with the electric chair.” stormed Mr. Shaw. "The police are playing ring-around-the-rosy with these people. I am only asking for lower bond. I think bond should be set at not more than SSOO for each.” Judge Geckler said that bond had been as high as $2 000 in his court before and added that he intended to consult with police this afternoon before the couple's arraignment at 9:30 tomorrow morning. At that time, the court will decide. too. whether the three remaining Dillon children should be placed in the custody of the court or allowed to remain* with neighbors. Geckler I'pholds Police Mr. Shaw made much of the fact that what he called police “persecution” had deprived the children of their home as. he added, it had cost Jacobs a job and brought V~ ' family to the edge of eviction. "I think police are making an honest effort to find the murderer of this boy” interjected Judge Geckler. Mr Shaw.” Russell Dean, asssitant county prosecutor, observed at another point, "has admitted that Mrs. Dillon has been gu ,w y of child neglect—and that Jacobs has been guilty of contributing to that neglect—when he' admits that Jacobs has lived at that house for more than a year and has supported them.” Mr. Shaw later told reporters that he felt Mrs. Dillon was justified even if she had lived with Jacobs, because the latter had been “so good to her and to the children.” He compared Jacobs with Shirley C. Dillon. Remington. Ind.. the divorced husband, much to the latter’s disadvantage. Police Praise Father Mr. Dillon has co-operated in the case with police and has been praised by police officials for his help. The attorney said the treatment accorded Mrs. Dillon and Jacobs by police was “un-American and unconstitutional." Jacobs first was arrested a few hours after Donald s body was found in Pleasant Run creek last Tuesday. Mrs. Dillon was arrested Friday night after she had been questioned six hours following her son's burial in New Crown cemetery. Police have said that their stones of event* before the boy’s disappearance a week ago Sunday differ m several respects and have added that Jacobs has contradicted himself on several occasions as to time of disappearance from his room of a .22-cahber rifle. The bullet which ended Donald's life came from a gun at thi* caliber. This noon, the two laborers who found the body appeared before Deputy Coroner John E. Wyttenbaeh. conducting an independent Investigation, and testified to their discovery.

FUSILLADE OF SHOTS GREETS INSTIGATOR OF APPLE PUSHOVER

Some startled Indiana motorist, whose identity is not known because police didn't quite get the license number on his car, probably is wondering today what the shooting was all about last night. The driver in question struck a barrel of apples, knocked it over and. apparently oblivious to what he had done, continued on unaware. Just then patrolman Walter Baase entered the picture to find a crowd shouting, “Catch that man!” Patrclman Baase caught a man hurrying along in front of the crowd. “No, no!” shouted the crowd. "The man in the car. the man in the car!” Patrolman Bdase got the idea and started after the car on foot, calling on its drives to stop. The driver, apparently not hearing him. kept going. Patrolman Baase shot twice at the tires of the car without effect. Then, to his considerable embarrassment. he found out why the crowd had wanted the driver stopped.

Jealo *lv fighting for the civil city budget before the county tax adjustment board today. Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan bitterly attacked tax reduction proposals of the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce.

•If the government is to be run cn such a policy. I am glad 1 am getting out." the mayor said. The chamber, represented by its executive vice-president. William H. Book, demanded that $565,000 of the estimated $650,000 general fund balance be used for tax reduction. Mr. Book also recommended that $250,000 of the park department balance be used for reduction and that the $15,000 contingent fund be abolished. Other suggestions were use of $39 000 gas tax revenues for street maintenance and a reduction in general fund appropriations. Mr. Book said that the chamber's proposal would reduce the tax levy to 55.1 cents. “These proposals are based on uncertain factors and would leave the city where it was a few years ago—broke,” Mayor Sullivan said angrily. “The balance is a safeguard for our splendid financial position now.” Demanding reduction of city officials' salaries.

Robert La Follette

For the first time, voters today will record their opinion of the experimental third party launched by the La Follette forces of Wisconsin in a primary election. Senator Robert M. La Follette is the Progressive candidate for senator and his brother. Philip, will try again for the gQvernorship. There is no contest facing either La Follete, but adherents hope to roll up as high a total as possible in order to make a favorable comparison with the Republican and Democratic primaries.

NRA VIOLATION L.AIDTO MILL Affidavits Presented to U. S. Attorney Aid by Union Head. Affidavits purporting to prove that the Indianapolis Bleaching Company, 900 West Wabash street, is violating the NRA textile code were presented to Paul A. Pfister, assistant United States attorney, today by Charles Drake, business manager of Local No. 2069, conducting the United Textile Workers of America strike against the mill. The affidavits mentioned five specific alleged violations of labor provisions of the code and dealt particularly with alleged use of the banned “stretchout” systerti, under which one worker is made to do the tasks of several, at the mill. Charles A. Young, pant manager, has denied the charges. Mr. Pfister assured Mr. Drake that the complaint would receive the full consideration of the district attorney's office. His conference with Mr. Pfister finished. Mr. Drake went to the city hall to try to protest to Mayoi Reginald H. Sullivan about alleged police brutality in connection with a skirmish between pickets and their sympathizers on one side, and police and workers on the other, late yesterday afternoon. He found the mayor out for the afternoon, how-, ever. After yesterday’s melee, in which cars of workers and policemen were stoned and pickets were slugged by policemen, Mr. Drake charged that one patrolman had threatened a picket with a gun. An impartial observer said he saw what apparently was one unprovoked slugging. Roosevelt May Act iCopvrieht. 1934. bv United Pressi WASHINGTON.

Yesterday Mayor Sullivan doggedly defended the budget against proposals by Harr}’ Miesse. Indiana Taxpayers Association secretary, that a greater portion of the expected treasury balance be used to cut the budget. The mayor said that the working balances provided in the 1935 budget are necessary to avoid borrowing funds to meet current needs. He asserted that the city is powerless to issue additional bonds because decreased taxable values have consumed the borrowing margin. Large working balances. Mayor Sullivan claimed, are required to meet principal and interest falling due Jan. 2. 1935, and pay rolls, because no 1935 revenues will be available the first day of toe new fiscal year. (

INDIANAPOLIS, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1934

Germany Arming Secretly, Charges Pope, Member of Senate Committee Conducting War Probe. “Germany is arming secretly and within a year will have one of the largest air fleets in the world,” Senator James P. Pope (Dem., Idaho), member of the senate munitions investigating committee, said here today as he paused on his way west from Wasiiington. Senator Pope said that the surface "hardly has been scratched” by the munitions investigators and added that, before its conclusion, the people of the United States would be appalled at the "impending catastrophe which certainly will be disclosed.” Running mate of Senator William E. Borah, famous senior senator from Idaho, Senator Pope obviously takes his munitions investigation seriously. Approached even before he had gulped his breakfast coffee, he was discovered delving into "Zaharoff, High Priest of War,” an analysis by Guile Davenport of the so-called "mystery man of Europe,” whose devious activities in international munitions deals have been under scrutiny. Reads Up on Zaharoff The senator believes the biography contains most of the authentic information available about Sir Basil Zaharoff. about whom even nationality is doubtful. “He claims to be a Greek, but he apparently is a Russian-Jew, who came originally from Odessa,” Senator Pope said. “There seems to be little doubt that Zaharoff is the key figure in an interlocking web of international intrigue that is staggering even to us of the senate committee who have had information unavailable elsewhere. "His tremendous wealth and insatiable ambition literally enable him to make and unmake nations, particularly among the smaller Balkan countries. Zaharoff binds European officialdom to him, not only Dy public loans, but by private loans to key officials in various countries.” Reason for Arms Race The senator said that the reluctance of some nations to pay war debts may be explained by the magnitude of the munitions racket and the determination of this nation and that to outdistance the others in armament. “Some international figures apparently are making a great play of letting the world know what the right hand does, but being equally secretive about the activities of the left hand,” he added. “Is it any wonder that disarmament conferences fail and war debts go unpaid when the money which should retire the latter are being spent under cover for munitions and more munitions?” The senator asserted that the investigating committee has discovered that scores of airplanes, unassembled. and disguised as otiier merchandise, have been shipped to Germany from this country and reassembled there. Bavarian Company Licensed United Aircraft and Export Company records reveal the steady expansion of aircraft development in Germany since the Hitler government came into power, Senator Pope charged. Testimony before the senate committee. he said, showed that United Aircraft had licensed the Bavarian Motor Company for $50,000 and royalties for the production of the Hornet aircooled motor for which Pratt & Whitney, a United subsidiary, holds patents. "Large sales to the Fokker Company in Holland are credited to the United Export Company, a trading subsidiary of United Aircraft,” the senator added. “It probably is significant that, when sales to the Fokker Company in Holland were high, shipments direct to German concerns were low. "There is the inescapable conclusion,” Senator Pope said, “that Germany is arming for war as fast as it can. Unless this munitions racket is curbed, the world will be faced with a terrible catastrophe.” Predicts Robinson Defeat Like the remainder of the Democratic senate and many of the Republican members, Senator Pope thinks Indiana’s Senator Arthur R. Robinson is heading toward a merited retirement. "A thoroughgoing reactionary like the Republican senator from Indiana has no place in the program of President Roosevelt, which is leading the nation away from economic disaster,” Senator Pope declared. “Senator Robinson definitely has turned his face against progressivism. There is no place left for him.’’ Senator Pope, on his way to Idaho to take part in the campaign, conferred here with Senator Frederick Van Nuys and E. Kirk McKinney, Indiana head cf the Home Owners Loan Corporation. He hoped to have time in his short stay here to meet Sherman Minton. Democratic nominee for the senate.

HREDESTROVS HOME. LERVMG MNMIESS Armed Vigilantes Patrol Streets to Guard Store Ruins. By United P t ress NOME; Alaska, Sept. 18.—Armed vigilantes, reminiscent of the lusty days of Nome’s glory, patrolled the streets today to guard food and clothing left after fire had levelled two-thirds of this famous far northern mining camp. As in 1898, when gold-miners paid $1 for a slice of bread and $5 for a potato, food was the most important item saved from the devastating flames which originated in the Golden Gate hotel yesterday morning and swept uncontrolled to the river. A hasty survey by the Red Cross and federal authorities howed there was no danger of starvation, as sufficient food had been saved to feed the 1,500 inhabitants for at least two weeks. Temporary shelters were provided for those made homeless by the flames. Last night they slept on floors of warehouses and in the homes of miners which had escaped the flames. They were fed by the community. The number needing assistance was not estimated exactly but one source said 400 persons had lost their homes and most of their belongings. The fire did its greatest damage in the business district, which had been experiencing a revival of the boom days of the gold rush. The flames cut a swath several blocks wide and ten blocks long that left only the northern section of the city standing. Grocery stores, every restaurant, federal buildings, offices, the banfe, warehouses and other structures fell before the fierce flames, which were lashed to greater fury by a strong northeast wind. Even dynamite failed to halt the wild advance. The cause of the fire has not been determined. Several persons were burned during the day, but none suffered serious injuries, so far as could be learned in the confusion created by the mo§t serious fire that had visited Nome sfnee 1905, when several blocks in the same district were destroyed. Residents eagerly awaited the arrival of the coast guard cutters dispatched with needed medical supplies. It was impossible to determine the extent of the damage, although some authorities believe it would exceed $1,000,000. FOUR BANK BANDITS 6ET $35,000 LOOT Quartet Raids Hawley (Pa.) Institution.

Political Control of State Penal Institutions Apparently Doomed, Poll of Indiana Legislature Candidates Reveals. TIMES PROPOSALS HEAVILY INDORSED Seventy-Three Seeking Senator and Representative Posts Cast Ballots in Survey of Sentiment in Campaign. Political control of Indiana’s penal institutions appeared doomed today on the face of returns thus far from a statewide poll of candidates for seats in the 1935 legislature. Party lines were cast aside in the poll. Republicans and Democrats alike enthusiastically pledging support to the plan. Three of The Indianapolis Times’ proposals for improving the management of prisons and jails and law enforcement agencies were given decisive majorities, and a fourth was assured of indorsement with modifications. Seventy-three candidates for senator and representative on the Democratic and Republican tickets voted in the poll of

SEVENTH VENIRE FOR DEAN NEAR Some Talesmen Now Seated Will Be Excused, Is Belief. A seventh venire may be necessary to complete the jury for the murder trial of Edward (Foggy) Dean, it was indicated today by Special Judge Clyde H. Jones in criminal court. With twelve challenges left for the denfse and thirteen for the state, it was apparent shortly after noon today that some of the talesmen now seated would be excused. Judge Jones said that he would wait later in the clay to decide upon summoning anew venire. Judge Jones, impatient at the inability of defense counsel and Floyd Mattice, chief deputy prosecutor, to agree on a twelfth juror, said he feared it wall be necessary to assume a “hard-boiled attitude to avoid being here all summer.” Judge Jones made this remark from the bench after Thomas W Sargent, 3023 Nowland avenue; Harry Huston. R. R. 8, and Walter C. Pieper, 2418 Union street, had been excused in quick succession when they insisted they had formed opinions from newspaper articles of the murder of Police Sergeant Lester Jones that would not be altered by formal evidence. Milton C. v Humphrey, Acton, was excused because of age, and Vernon Scott, 318 South Walnut street, left the jury box when it was shown jury service would interfere with his railroad employment.

sentiment. The proposal to remove the state police from political patronage by placing its personnel on a strictly civil service and merit basis was given practically unanimous favor among the candidates of both parties. Lacking only two votes of equaling the popular indorsement of the state police proposal is The Times’ plan to crush the “spoils” system of selecting the personnel of penal institutions by substituting a strictly civil service merit basis in making appointments of all officials and employes ol such institutions. Creation of a state department of correction which would have direct authority over all state penal institutions and a limited regulatory power over county institutions also was indorsed decisively A suggestion that a state department of correction be created having direct authority over all penal institutions—both state and county —won by a scant majority of five. There were sufficient noncommittal responses to warrant the belief such a proposal would not be favored as invading the home rule principle. Opinion Virtually Unanimous Responses to The Times’ poll indicate that opinion of candidates scattered throughout the state is almost unanimous in demanding that immediate steps be taken to correct a system that has contributed to a series of shocking jail and prison breaks. The poll indicates that the conflict in the 1935 legislature over the program to reform the state’s system of managing penal institutions will center around the degree of authority to be given a central body to exercise supervision over all penal institutions. Twenty-six candidates—thirteen Democratic and thirteen Republican —voted in favor of a state department of correction having direct authority over all penal institutions, both state and county. Twenty-one are opposed—nine Democratic and twelve Republican. Twenty-three were noncommittal. However, a centralized control, possessing limited regulatory power over county institutions, attracted forty-seven affirmative votes. Only nine were registered In opposition to this plan. Two Democrats Opposed Twenty-three Democratic candidates cast their votes in favor of the plan for limited control and twenty-four Republicans Joined with them. No Republican candidates voted against the proposal to remove the state police from political control. Two Democratic candidates for senator were found to be opposed. Two Republicans—one a candidate for the senate—favored the suggestion conditionally. Two Democratic candidates for representative were noncommittal. Os the twenty-eight Democratic candidates favoring the police civil service plan, six are candidates for the senate and the remainder candidates for seats in the lower house. Nine Republican senatorial candi(Tum to Page Three)
