CARDS LEAD TIGERS IN

TRIAL OF DEAN TO END TODAY, IS INDICATION Final Arguments Heard by Jury Listening to Murder Trial. SUSPECT SHOWS STRAIN Mattice Comments on Failure of Prisoner’s Wife to Testify. Two lawyers—one suavely persistent In prosecution, the other eloquent in the defense —this afternoon were fighting a dramatic duel of words for the life of Edward 'Foggy) Deans, charged with murdering Police Sergeant Lester Jones in a garage holdup last year. Floyd Mattice. chief deputy prosecutor, in his argument to the jury, made much of the fact that Mrs. Leona Dean, the prisoner s wife, had not been called upon to testify during the trial. Clyde Miller, defense's attorney, speaking of patrolman Michael McAllen, who identified Dean positively as the banidt who shot Sergeant Jones with a submarine gun. said: "I have nothing but admiration for the bravery and efficiency of Mr. McAllen, but. under the stress and terror of the holdup. I say that he was in no condition to identify anyone.’* Miller Resumes Argument At noon today the trial was recessed. Mr. Miller resumed his argument after the recess. Mr. Mattice is expected to make his rebuttal argument this afternoon and the case probably will go to the jury late today. Dean showed the strain of the trial and watched sharply the expression on the jurymen s faces during the closing argument*. The courtroom was packed with the curious who had been attracted by the sensational nature of the murder trial. Armed police and detectives guarded the exits. The defense has attempted to convince the Jury that Dean wore a mustache at the time of the robbery of Peoples Motor Coach Company’s garage when Sergeant Jones was murdered, whereas state's witnesses have testified that the submachine gunner who killed Sergeant Jones, as he flung open a door during the robbery, was smooth shaven. Mattice Begins Summation Opening the summation of state's evidence late yesterday. Mr. Mattice told the jury the bandits of Jesse James* time were "pikers” compared with the bandits who robbed the motor coach garage and killed the policeman. The chief deputy prosecutor reminded the jury of the arsenal of submachine guns, sawed-off shot guns, rifles and pistols used by the bandits and of the theft of highpowered automobiles for use in their flight. "The preparation of an alibi is Just as well known among bandits as is the preparation of the crime itself.- Mr Mattice charged "This may be particularly true when the crime is being committed in the home city of the criminal.”

Thinks Stale Case Proved Defense witnesses claimed Dean was at his father's home from 7:30 cm the evening of the crime until y when he drove relatives to the Veterans hospital on Cold Spring road to visit hft brother-in-law, then a patient In the hospitrl. Returning to the Dean home at about 11. the alleged triggerman was pictured as going to bed and remaining there until 7 the next morning. "The state of Indiana does not say that Dean was at the motor coach company garage at 5 o'clock or 6 o'clock or 8 o'clock on Feb. 6. but the state does say and has proven by witnesses that he was there at about 3 on the morning of Feb. 7 when this crime was committed.” Mr. Mattice said.

RESCUE TRIP TO ARCTICFAILURE Crippled Mission Ship Back in Port With Huye Hole in Side. By United Press CHURCHILL, Manitoba, Oct. 3. The Catholic mission supply ship, Pope Pius XI, with a gaping hole in her side and her crew suffering from exhaustion and exposure, was back in port this afternoon defeated in a heroic dash into the arctic circle to rescue Father H. N. Bazin from his lonely outpost in the far north. The small but sturdy vessel, under command of Father Emmanuel Duplain, 40-year-old Ottawa missionary, struggled into the harbor here last night. The weary crew related briefly the epic story of the thwarted rescue trip. Trapped in wild gales on the 800-mile journey to Repulse Bay in the arctic circle, the little ship fought clear. But instead of continuing its journey 700 miles farther to Igloolik, where Father Bazin has been stranded for four years, the ship was forced to turn back after delivering supplies to several northern mission posts. Early winter squalls, freezing temperatures and icebergs blocked the crew’s efforts to break through. The hole was ripped in the ship’s side during one encounter with icebergs. Father Duplain was downhearted. He had held high hopes that the Pope Pius XI was capable of negotiating the hazardous journey. Only a small ship is capable of attempting the northward dash during the short summer period. Father Bazin has not been heard from since early last year. Eskimo trappers who made their way here reported then that he still was ministering to tribes near Igloolik, living in primitive fashion.

SHIP MISSING AFTER SENDING PLEAFOR AID 28 Members of Crew Are Feared Dead on Lost Freighter. RESCUERS SEEK VESSEL Two Liners at Last Known Location of British Craft. By United Press NEW YORK, Oct. 3.—Gravest fears were felt this afternoon for twenty-eight men aboard the British freighter Millpool that electrified the North Atlantic trade route with an SOS. Two ships reached the Millpool’s last known position before dawn, but found no trace of the vessel. The Black Diamond liner, Black Gull, relayed messages from the Cunard White Star liner Ascenik and the Canadian Pacific freighter Beaverhill that were picked up by Mackay Radio. Both the Ascenia and Beaverhill, at the position given by the Millpool 700 miles off Labrador, said they found no trace of the Millpool and could not get her radio to respond. Both ships hove to, waiting clearing weather. A gale was kicking up a high sea. Visibility was poor. The Millpool, a wheat ship out of Danzig, was bound for Montreal. She carried a crew of twenty-eight, three of whom were injured when the gale stove in her after hatch and sliced off her maintopmast yesterday. The Black Gull reported that both the Ascenia and Beaverhill were certain they had received the Millpool’s position accurately. The Millpool’s radio was last heard at 8:59 p. m. (eastern standard time) Tuesday. The signal then was sputtering, barely distinguishable. But twice before the rescue vessels had copied her position while the signal still was clear. The Ascenia, on the scene before dawn, sent out repeated calls to the Millpool to send up rockets, believing she might still be afloat and able to receive messages but unable to send. These appeals brought no response. Another British freighter, the Ainderby, was in distress 1,500 miles off New York, but rescue vessels were standing by to take off the crew if and when it became necessary. The Ainderby’s bridge was partly washed away and she was unable to hove to.

Vanderbilt Case May Be Settled Out of Court Hearing Delayed Two Days as European Friends of Heiress’ Mother Prepare to Rush to Her Aid. By United Press NEW YORK, Oct. 3.—The legal action of Mrs. Gloria Morgan Vanderbilt to regain custody of her 10-year-old daughter Gloria, will be resumed Friday with European friends and relatives rallying to the aid of the New York society woman. Supreme Court Justice John F. Carew announced this afternoon that the hearing had been put over for two days because of illness of the

mother of Nathan Burhan, counsel for Mrs. Vanderbilt. Suggestions that the delay was to permit an out-of-court settlement lacked confirmation, although it Nvas said such action was possible. Mrs. Vanderbilt, who had heard former servants in her household tell of gay all-night parties, drinking and other activities of their mistress’ set in New York and Paris, declined to comment further on developments in the case. Earlier she had said that all the charges were "utterly false.” Her sister. Lady Furness, told the United Press she would come from Paris to aid Mrs. Vanderbilt in the suit in which their mother is on the side of Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney, who now has custody of the $4,000,000 heiress. Prince Hohenlohe, mentioned in the case, also told the United Press he considered coming from Germany to aid her.

Reporters Visit House Meanwhile, Mrs. Benjamin Thaw, sister of Mrs. Gloria Morgan Vanderbilt, showed a reporter through the brownstone house in which Gloria, storm center of the family squabble, lived until last Friday. Mrs. Thaw, the former Consuelo Morgan, appeared to have been crying. Deep circles shadowed her eyes. “Do you see any rats running around?” she smiled wanly. Testimony at the court hearing had to do with rats that were alleged to have scampered through Mrs. Vanderbilt’s Paris apartment. “Would it be possible for me to see the room where Gloria slept?” “I don’t know. I’d better speak to my sister.” She turned toward the room in which a womancould be heard sobbing. Girl's Room Elaborate “My sister said to show you whatever you wanted to see,” she announced. The room in which Gloria lived proved to be an elaborate chamber with twin taffeta hung beds, a shaded bed lamp, silk draped dressing table, green tiled bath and huge closets. “Most of her toys are In this closet now,” Mrs. Thaw said. “Will Mrs. Vanderbilt remain in New York if she doesn’t get the child back?” “I don’t know.” “Will you stay with her?” “Yes. I’m going to stay with her —she’s my sister,” Mrs. Thaw said. Cabans Fire on Caffery By United Press HAVANA, Cuba.

Irene Joliot-Curie and her husband, Professor Frederick Joliot, in a joint paper delivered to the international conference on physics, announced today that discovery of a formula for production of artificial radium might be within sight. “Future work probably will reveal,” said the paper, “new radioactive families or unknown types of radioactivity with emission of protrons, neutrons or other particles. “Emergencies and intensities at present obtained in tubes for producing accelerated particles allow hope that it soon will be possible to produce by means of these particles radio elements with an intensity of radiation comparable with or even superior to that of preparations of natural radio elements now available.” ROOSEVELT, WAGNER STUDY TRUCE PLAN Senator, Labor Expert, Received at White House.

By United Prefig NAVIN FIELD, Detroit, Oct. 3.—Meeting before a wildly cheering crowd of 48,000 which jammed every, foot of space in Navin field’s high flung, steel and concrete! stadium, the Detroit Tigers and St. Louis Cardinals this afternoon opened the 1934 world series. •The sun was shining thinly through the early October haze. There was a distinct chill In the air and most of the spectators, some of whom stood in line through the long hours of the night, wore sweaters and overcoats. It was almost an all-Detroit crowd. Tiger fans, deprived of world series warfare for a quarter of a century, were having the time of their lives. They cheered and echoed the cheers every time Hank Greenberg, Mickey Cochrane or Charley Gehringer got hold of one during the batting practice. The long awaited announcement of starting pitchers came more than an hour before the game. Just as most everybody had expected, it was Dizzy Dean for St. Louis and "General” Alvin Crowder for the Tigers. Both are right handers. Dizzy Lets Bat Fly The Tigers completed a half hour batting practice at 12:30. The gray clad Cardinals then took their turn. A near-accident occurred when Dizzy Dean lost his grip on the bat during practice and it hurtled all the way to the Tigers’ dugout, narrowly missing two photographers. The groundkeepers came out to tune up the infield shortly after I o'clock. The field was lightning fast. The greensward of the outfield was in perfect condition. Autograph seekers, with baseballs in hand, crashed onto the playing field, and were trying to get signatures of their heroes. They were getting short answers for the most part. Spectators on Feet The unreserved sections were filled to the last seat. Many spectators were standing in the aisles. Crowder and Dean warmed up in front of the dugouts. The managers and umpires held another discussion at the plate and the start of the game was further delayed. Later it was announced that the game was being held up to allow late-arriving ticket holders to get into the park. There was a terrific congestion outside the main gate. Paul Dean and Bill Walker went to the bullpen for the Cards. Walker is a southpaw. The band played the national anthem, and the Tigers rushed out to their positions in the field. The crowd let go a deafening roar. First Inning CARDINALS—Pepper Martin hit the first ball pitched, grounding out, Owen to Greenberg. Rothrock flied out to white. Frankie Frisch was given an ovation as he came to bat. The cards manager was safe when Owen juggled his easy grounder. Medwick singled to left, Frisch stopping at second. Collins filed to White in center field for the third out. NO RUNS. ONE HIT. ONE ERROR. TIGERS—Jo-Jo White grounded out, Durocher to Collins. Mickey Cochrane bounced out, Frisch to Collins. Charley Gehringer singled to left. Hank Greenberg grounded out. Martin to Collins. NO RUNS. ONE HIT. NO ERRORS.
