PRISON REFORM IS GIVEN BACKING OF STATE’S SENATORS Few of Members of Upper Legislative House Oppose Times* Proposals for New Penal Setup in Indiana. VERMILLION HITS POLITICAL RULE Others Join in Pledging Support for Abolishment of Spoils System in Running of Jails in State. Indiana senators; whose terms do not expire this year joined today with candidates for the 1935 legislature in the nonpartisan drive condemning political management of the state’s penal institutions. Voting in a state-wide poll on The Indianapolis Times’ proposals for establishing a central state supervision over penal institutions and placing officials and guards under

strict civil service merit regulations, Senator \N alter \ ermillion, Anderson, pledged his support of sound legislation looking to these necessary reforms. Senator George D. Miller, Logansport. physician member of the upper house from Cass and Fulton counties, aligned himself definitely with the supporters of the program to oust the ‘•spoils” system of selecting cxecut :ve and subordinate personnel of the institutions and to plare the state police force under civil service regulation. Regardless of political affiliation, incumbent senators and candidates gave a majority in favor of the nonpolitical proposals of The Times. Schricker for ‘Polities* Senator Henry F. Schricker, Knox, favored the plan to place the state police force under civU service regulations and fiat-footedly opposed the proposal to remove politics from the selection of penal institution officials and guards. Senator Schricker said he would require more details before expressing an opinion on the creation of a state department of correction to have supervision over penal institutions. Senator Larry Brandon, Auburn, expressed favor of the plan to remove the state police entirely from political patronage, and also approved placing prison officials and guards under civil service He was noncommital on the proposition to create a central state department. .Senator Jacob Weiss. Indianapolis, favored all of the proposals, with tlie reservation that merit and not strictly civil service regulations shall control the selection of state police and prison personnel. Vermillion Assails Setup "Political patronage and political control of state penal institutions mav be good politics but bad government.” declared Senator Vermillion at his Anderson law offices. “I believe that good government is of first importance. Political consideration doubtless will make difficult enactment of the reforms indicated, but for myself, as a state senator and somewhat Independent of these political considerations, I would go along with sound legislation looking to these necessary reforms." Senator Vermillion, agreeing that the proposals are not a matter for partisan politics, said he is in accord with The Times' effort to revamp the state’s law enforcement agencies. • Indiana.” he declared, “is not alone in suffering from imperfect criminal procedure and enforcement of criminal laws. This misfortune in government seems, however, to be American, and can not be compared favorably with law enforcement in European countries. “The criminal procedure in Indiana permits of delay and prevents snappy and effective disposition of criminal cases and there is great necessity for amendment of criminal laws resulting in this condition.” "However.” continued Senator Vermillion, "the right to a fair trial must be guaranteed to all persons charged with crime. The state police force should be free from Influence of political patronage, and It seems a civil service merit basis would acccomplish this result.

JURY RECORD IN DEAN CAS_E NEAR 337 Talesmen Examined So Far; Seventh Venire Questioned. Examination of the seventh panel of prospective jurors dragged slowly today as the state and defense worked to complete a jury for the murder trial of Edward (Foggy) Dean in criminal court.

Anew all-time record of veniremen summoned for jury service neared today as the seventh venire, composed of seventy-five men. was examined. A total of 337 talesmen have been summoned since the trial's opening, eight days ago.

LA FOLLETTES FALL BEHIND IN WjSCONSIN Democrats Sweep State as New Progressive Party Disappoints. Bp Times Bperinl .MILWAUKEE, Sept. 19.—Governor A. G. Schmedeman was renominated by the Democratic party in the Wisconsin primary in which anew Progressive party was baptized at the polls. Returns today indicated that the Progressive party, a trial balloon for anew national alignment of liberals, failed to reach any impressive heights in its first test. The new party, led by the La Follette brothers, Senator Robert M. La Follette Jr., and former Governor Philip F. La Follette, appeared likely to poll a few more than the 120,000 signatures obtained to give it birth earlier this year. Supporters of the New Deal, however. claimed a reaffirmed faith in the Roosevelt administration on the part of the Badger state electorate as a result of the heavy vote collected by Governor Schmedeman. Governor Schmedeman, who told the voters he was “proud to be a rubber stamp for President Roosevelt.” won over two opponents. Other winners were uncertain but Howard T. Greene appeared to have received the Republican nomination for governor. Callahan Appears Winner The Democratic senatorial race was close with John M. Callahan holding a slight edge. Returns from 1,816 of the state’s 2,915 precincts for governor gave: Democrats—Schmedeman, 101,003; William B. Rubin, 24,043; Richard F. Lehman, 5,451. Republicans—Howard T. Greene, 53,605; former Governor Fred R. Zimmerman, 30,393; James N. Tittemore, 6,890. Progressives Former Governor Philip La Follette, 83,883; Henry O. Meisel, 4,545. Socialist —Geonge A. Nelson, 16,546. Returns from 1,787 precincts for senator gave: Democrats—John M. Callahan. 33,990; former Governor Francis E. McGovern, 28.927; Charles E. Hammersley, 21,643; State Senator William D. Carroll, 15,233; Mrs. Gertrude Bowler, national committee woman, 13.600. Republicans—John B. Chappie, 64.595. Progressives—Senator Robert La Follette, 81,529. Socialists—James p. Sheehan, 15,704. Democrats Are Spurred ‘Philip La Follette himself drew--395,550 votes when he w*on the nomination in the Republican primary of 1930 and 319,884 in 1932 when he lost to Walter Kohler, but no such figures were in prospect today. Senator La Follette, unopposed within his party, fell far behind the total of five Democratic candidates for the office. Divided praise which President Roosevelt bestowed upon the Progressive senator and Wisconsin's Democratic Governor when he visited the state last month appeared to have spurred the Democrats to even greater party activity.

Earlier in the morning, Miss Harris’ father, Charles Harris, whose wife also works in the mill, as does another daughter, had complained to police that someone had discharged a shotgun at his house, breaking glass in the front door.

It was stoned at Washington street and White river. An affidavit alleging that patrolman Charles Springer, on duty at the bleaching company, threatened a picket with a revolver and then slugged him with a blackjack, all without provocation, was presented to the safety board today w’ith a demand that patrolmen Springer be tried by the board. Charles R. Myers, board president, promised that the matter w r ould be investigated “from all angles,” but indicated that no action would be possible before the board meets next Tuesday. He said, too, that patrolman Springer’s record was excellent and that Indianapolis policemen did not carry blackjacks. The affidavit, taken twice to Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan’s office yesterday w r hen that official was out, is signed by Carvel Herron, 24, of 230 Minerva street, a United Textile Workers of America member.

DILLON PLACED UNDER ARREST IN COURTROOM Father of Slain Boy Accused of Child Neglect by Divorced Wife. The center of interest in the Dillon murder case teday moved to juvenile court and a family row, while homicide squad detectives, apparently optimistic, continued their efforts to build a case against the mother of the slain, 13-year-old Donald Dillon, and the man with whom she has been living for more than a year. Juvenile Judge John F. Geckler continued hearings on child neglect charges against the mother, Mrs. Dimmie Dillon, 35, of 1871 Shelby street, and Gilbert Jacobs, 37-year-old factory worker for whom she keeps house, until Thursday, Sept. 27, and kept their bond at $2,000 each. The charges were preferred by police yesterday to allow them to continue holding the pair while the murder investigation was pushed. After Judge Geckler had acted despite bitter protests by the pair’s attorney, Mrs. Dillon swore out a warrant charging her divorced husband, Shirley C. Dillon, with child neglect. He was arrested immediately and held under SSOO bond with his hearing also set for Thursday, Sept. 27.

Blames Spite Work Mr. Dillon, who, police say, has helped them materially in their investigation into his son’s death, described his wife’s actions as “spite work.” He said that, though he received only sls a month on the farm where he is employed near Remington, Ind., he had sent to his children, through relatives here, SSO in cash and money with which clothing and Christmas presents were bought. The father had sat with his head bowed as Lawrence Shaw, attorney for Mrs. Jacobs and Dillon, denounced him in the arguments for lowering the accused pair's bond. Mr. Shaw repeated his attack on the police, whom he accused of “grilling” his clients for hours at a time, and challenged detectives to place murder charges against them, adding that police had admitted to him they had no evidence for such charges and describing police tactics as “odoriferous.” “I’d turn prosecutor and demand the electric chair for these people if I thought they were guilty of killing Donald,” Mr. Shaw told the court. “I believe, before Almighty God, that they are innocent of this crime.” Boys Are Excluded When Mr. Shaw turned to the crime and to his attack on Mr. Dillon, Judge Geckler sent from the courtroom the two surviving Dillon boys, Harold, 12, and Le Roy, 6. The boys and their sister Hazel, 16, are staying with their grandmother, Mrs. Mary Dillon, at the home of their uncle, William Dillon, 2017 Brookside avenue. The court has under advisement the question of whether they shall be allowed to stay there or shall be made wards of the county and placed in an institution. Shirley Dillon did not make bond at once, but William Dillon said he believed it could be arranged by early afternoon. Before court this morning. Detective Chief Fred Simon, apparently optimistic, told reporters that the police investigation would continue j along present lines, which have seemed since last Thursday designed to attempt to build a case against . Jacobs and Mrs. Dillon. 8 ARE ARRESTED ON FEDERAL WARRANTS j Marshal Acts on Indictments Returned by U. S. Grand Jury.

‘MISSING’ BOY IS FOUND SAFE City Lad Feared Victim of Violence Located at Detention Home. Excitement over the “disappearance” of Robert Fink, 11, of 1209 English avenue, who seemed for a few brief hours last night to have i been the second south side boy within the last ten days to fall a victim of violence, subsided suddenly today with the revelation that he had “disappeared” into the juvenile detention home. The “disappearance” became a matter for laughter when it was learned that Robert had been in the detention home since early yesterday morning, where, an apparently lost boy, he had been taken at about 6:30, describing himself as “Bobbie Fink from Brown county.” Even as one police report lay in headquarters files showing that the boy had been taken to the home, another w*as made out reporting his disappearance from home and telling of a “mysterious” telephone call to the home of a neighbor after he had “disappeared.” The excitement over the “disappearance,” which was to be culminated today w'ith the boy’s return to the home of his father, Edward Fink, a school board emplye, was caused primarily by the fact that his home is in the same section of the city as that of the brutally murdered 13-year-old Donald Dillon, whose death police are investigating.

The pair then rushed down the stairs, forcing aside Clarence Baxter, an employe, who was on his way up. Pursuing the bandits, Mr. Baxter saw them leap into an automobile outside the plant and drive swiftly west on Michigan street. Police found the car abandoned at 48 North Tremont street. There, they believe, the gunmen transferred to a small sedan and drove down an alley. Several people were loitering about the office when the desperadoes entered the room. They shrunk back at the sight of the submachine gun and two pistols. Several employes already had been paid and had left the office. Police believe that it w r as a carefully planned holdup, occurring at the minute when a large sum of money was in the office and at the same time, the raid could be conducted with a minimum of danger. The first car used by the criminals had the license taken from a car stolen from Emmett E. Stephens, 230 East Ninth street. The bandit who actually took the money was described as well dressed, while the other was grimy and unshaven, according to witnesses. The submachine gun was a small, squat weapon. Police believe that confused witnesses may have erred and that it may have been a sawed-off shotgun. Police squads immediately roared out to the plant and to the west end of the city, past White river, to cut off the escape of the bandits, OHIO SUSPECT ADMITS INDIANA CAR THEFTS SBOO Gary Holdup Also Confessed.
