E. Padgett, 3648 North Delaware street, president of the association. told the 1.500 delegates to the eishty-fifth annual Indiana State Medical Association convention today. “The pa.st few years have witnessed many drastic changes in our economic and social life and the physicians have turned their attention to medical economics,” Dr. Padgett said in his address at the Clay-pool,’* but the educational phases of our work actually have improved during thus hectic period. Dr. Padgett spoke after greetings had been given the delegates by Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan and Dr. J. W. Carmack, 5145 North Meridian street, who introduced Dr. H. S.

University of Pennsylvania medical school, Philadelphia. whose tpoic was, “Problems of Acute Appendicitis.” Dr. Ravdin finds that mortality of appendicitis has increased. “Vital statistics show that the mortality of appendicitis has increased in the last two decades although the operating mortality, according to selected series, has decreased.” Dr. Ravlin said. Assails t'se of Cathartics • Regardless of the method of computing the mortality, the figures still are too high.” he said. “It is impossible to reduce the death rate in surgical eases unless the patient is operated upon speedily.” Dr. Ravdin said that the two major causes of appendicitis mortality are "the unauthorized use of cathartics and delay in sending the patient to the hospital.” This situation can be remedied only by an extensive educational campaign. Dr Ravdin concluded. “Erythroblastic Anemia of Childhood” was the topic of the next guest. Dr. Robert A. Strong, who came to the convention from Tula lie university medical school. New Orleans.

Kansas City Massacre Suspect, Hunted Year Nabbed by U. S. Agents Alleged Accomplice of ‘Pretty Boy’ Floyd, Wanted in Union Station Killing of Four Officers, Found in New Orleans. Up United Press WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.—Arrest of Fdchard T. Galatas, hunted for more than a year for alleged complicity in the Kansas City Union Station massacre, was announced today by the justice department. He was taken to Kansas ity and will be arraigned today on a charge of conspiracy to deliver an escaped federal prisoner. The attempt to deliver the prisoner, Frank Nash, resulted in assassination of four law enforcement officers in Kansas City on June 17, 1933. Galatas was accused by the federal government of being

U, S. INCOME IN STATE DOUBLED September Revenue Tops Last Year by Nearly Five Millions. Internal revenue collections in Indiana last month totalled $6,139,260.57, as contrasted with $1,368,801.55 for September, 1933, it was announced today by Will H. Smith, Indiana district collector, with offices in the federal building here. At the same time, Mr. Smith revealed that total collections for the quarter ended Sept. 30 were $13,968,265.38, as contrasted with collections of $5,689,372.17 for the same period last year. The great increase in the quarter's collection was due principally to a swelling of the distilled spirits tax collections from $116,963.44 to $3,020,358.55; of the beer tax collections from $766,077.50 to $2,011,865.75, and of processing tax collections from $579,505.68 to $2,372,011.23.

Vulgar and Swaggering Cardinals Rule Diamond World

BY WESTBROOK PEGLER Times Feature Writer Detroit. Mich., Oct. 10.— Those coarse and vulgar Cardinals of St. Louis finally won the world series in a contest fraught with vulgarity, persona) rudeness and swaggering contempt. They beat the Tigers yesterday. 11 to 0. and dragged the proud spectacle down from its wonted high plane to the level of a contest played with dice up an alley. Unkind words were uttered in the heat of combat, a crowd was incited to acts of disorder and Joe Medwick, the Cardinals’ left fielder, was herded out of the park in the seventh inning under escort of a police detail lest the steerage trade from the left field bleachers fall on him in baffled rage and beat him over the head with his own arms and legs,, for lashing at Marvin Owen with his spikes. It was one of the most disgraceful and delightful incidents ever witnessed in the annual after-

a ringleader in the plot to free Nash. Nash himself was killed in the fusillade that brought down the four officers. According to federal authorities the actual assassins were Vernon C. Miller, Charles 'Pretty Boy) Floyd, notorious Oklahoma outlaw, and Floyd's lieutenant, Adam Richetti. Miller was slain near Detroit in November, 1933, apparently by gangsters. Federal agents are conducting a relentless hunt for Floyd and Richetti. Galatas, a professional appearing man, and his wife Elizabeth were found in New Orleans, where the fugitive, under the name of E. W. Lee, had been engaged in business as a distributor for a cellophane products company. 1 Federal Officer Killed The officers slain in the Kansas City massacre were federal agent R. J. Caffrey, Police Chief Otto Reed of McAlester, Okla., and William J. Grooms and Frank E. Hermanson, Kansas City policemen. With the arrest of Galatas, the justice department said, AttorneyGeneral Homer Cummings and J. Edgar Hoover, director of the division of investigation, had ordered a vigorous and intensive investigation looking toward the location and apprehension of Floyd end Richetti with a view to prosecuting them, their accomplices and any person or persons who may have aided them subsequent to the commission of the crime. Floyd is one of the few most dangerous public enemies still at large. Justice department officials are hopeful of bringing about his early capture. Agents Swear Revenge It was the Kansas City massacre, together with the Lindbergh kidpaing, that was responsible in a large measure for the federal government throwing all its available resources into the battle against the underworld. The. killing of agent Caffrey at Kansas City wrote in blood a challenge to the justice department and its men vowed to avenge his death. With the capture of Galatas they feel they have accomplished partly that. BODY OF MAN TAKEN FROM WHITE RIVER Victim Tentatively Identified as Spanish War Veteran. The body of a man about 65 years olds, tentatively identified as George Wuensch, Craig hotel. 328’i East Washington street,' a Spanish war veteran, was recovered from the White river just north of the Washington street bridge today. The body, identified through a postcard found in the pocket, was first sighted in shallow water thirty or forty feet from shore by two Negro youths. They summoned police, who recovered it and sent it to the Royster & Askin mortuary. 1902 North Meridian street.

show which is the proudest hour of the baseball industry. Horrified baseball magnates, sitting around the plant, swooned into the orchids on their ladies’ shoulders at the humiliation of it all and Judge K. M. Landis, the disciplinarian of the trade, hid his face in his hands and screamed. Through it all, the incorrigible Cardinals maintained their harsh attitude without the slightest apparent twinge of conscience. They were mean to the Tigers in every possible way and were not heard to utter a kind word to them at any time except in leering mockery. And while the whole pack of them were conducting themselves in this highly objectionable manner. Brother Dizzy Dean was uttering in a high, falsetto voice a funning fire of comment intending to imply that the Tigers were not great big, wonderful athletes at all, but sissies. And all the while he was doing this he was practicing deception with his

GRIPPED BY WAR FEARS, EUROPE SHUDDERS OVER ASSASSINATIONS

Body of Slain Monarch Started for Yugoslavia , Escorted by French Ships Women and Children Kneel in Streets of Marseille as Funeral Cortege Moves Toward Dock; King Dressed in World War Uniform. BY PIERRE SALARNIER United Press Staff Correspondent (Copyright. 1934. by United Pressi MARSEILLE, France., Oct. 10. The body of King Alexander of Yugoslavia, whose assassination by a fanatic precipitated a tense European political situation, was started home tonight for royal burial. Muffled drums sounded as two battalions of French infantry paraded in review before the body of the monarch who was struck down with Foreign Minister Louis Barthou of France just as he arrived here late yesterday on a delicate

BOY KING IS ON WAYTO PARIS Arrives at Calais, Accompanied by Grandmother, Marie of Rumania. By United Press CALAIS, France, Oct. 10.—King Peter II of Yugoslavia and Dowager Queen Marie of Rumania arrived today from England, en route to Paris. The king held tightly to his grandmother’s hand as they boarded the Paris train. The boy ruler learned today how his father died. Previously he had known only that Alexander was dead. At luncheon today his grandmether gave him the details. Holding the child’s hand and stroking it tenderly, the queen told him the tragic story of the assassination at Marseille. “But grandmother, why did they do it?” He asked somberly. The queen wept. The London Evening News said Queen Marie told Peter: “Never forget that your father died like a king. His duty is now your duty and his work your work.” Police of the English countryside were on the alert to guard the royal pair on the journey from London to Dover. A United Press correspondent aboard the train, approaching the king’s car, saw that the door was bolted, with a squad of detectives and railroad guards at the entrance. At Tonbridge, a solitary ploughman doffed his cap respectfully to the passing train. On arrival at Dover, ordinary passengers and newspaper men were whisked from the platform and segregated at the farthest point from the quayside. When the way was clear, Peter, clutching Marie’s hand, walked the length of the platform and boarded the steamer. They retired at once to their cabin. Boy Proclaimed King (Copyright. 1934. by United Press) BELGRADE, Oct. 10.—Eleven-year-old Crown Prince Peter was proclaimed King Peter II today under Article XXXVI of the constitution. He will reign under a regency during his minority. The country was quiet, though shocked and enraged at the death of King Alexander and suspicious that a plot fomented by foreign enemies may have caused it. King Peter II of the KaraGeorgevitch dynasty, whose history is scarred with tragedies such as that which took his father’s life, will rule with the aid of the following regents: Prince Paul, his 41-year-old uncle, whose wife is Princess Olga of Greece, sister of Princess Marina, finance of Prince George of England. Redenko Stankovitch, former minister of education. Governor Perovic of the province of Save.

swifter and his curve and thwarting them no matter how they tried. Dizzy held them to four hits until the ninth inning when he let them have two more. The Cardinals settled everything. including Schoolboy Rowe, in the fourth inning. When tnirteen hitters went to bat and seven runs arrived. a a a IT was a half hour of anguish for Mike Cochrane, the Tigers' manager and catcher, and. for the first time of the series, he took himself out of the game in the ninth to drag himself off to his shower and consider man’s inhumanity to man. He and his nice young men had lost about each in this hall hour of the Cardinals' fourth, being the difference between the winners’ share of 55.821 each and the losers’ individual portions of $4,313.

diplomatic mission affecting the balance of power in Europe. The body, dressed in the stained fighting uniform the king wore in the World war, was carried in state from the Marseille prefecture, where it had been lying, to a waiting automobile. The widowed Queen Marie, grief-stricken, pale, but calm, was escorted to an accompanying automobile. She said farewell to the body here and will go to Paris to meet her 11-year-old son, now King Peter 11, and accompany him to Belgrade for the funeral. President Albert Lebrun, Andre Taridieu, Edouard Herriot and other members of the government journeyed with the queen tq the quay. The city was in mourning and silence, broken by the tolling of bells from Notre Dame De La Garde, overlooking the picturesque port from a high hilltop. Trip to Take Four Days Six French and six Yugoslavian officers stood at salute alongside the casket. Military bands played the national anthems of the two countries. The French, saluting, figuratively gave the body into custody of the Yuogslavians. The casket was placed on a pontoon between the quay and the Yugoslavian destroyer Dubrovnik, which brought the king here yesterday. Slav seamen carried the casket to a cabin of the narrow destroyer, fitted out as a mortuary chapel. It will take three days by sea and one on land for the body to reach Belgrade via the Yugoslavian port of Split. Dressed in Army Uniform The king was dressed in his army uniform, in accordance with the queen’s wishes. Barthou’s body, too, was redressed. The full dress which he wore when he met Alexander was too bloodstained, and instead he wore a gray traveling suit. A third body was that of Mme. Marie Dubrec, widow, a member of the crowd that was cheering the king lustily when he was killed. The assassin Kalemen numbered as victims, also, wounded either directly by shots of his two pistols described by police as miniature machine guns in deadliness, or indirectly by the shots of police, the following who were in hospitals or private clinics: CRITICALLY WOUNDED General Alphonse Joseph Georges, 59, of the superior war council; one of France’s most brilliant officers. Police Inspector Celestin Galy, 32. Mile. Yolande Farris. 22. SERIOUSLY WOUNDED General Alexander Dimitriejevitch. marshal of the king’s household of Yugoslavia. Marius Humbert, 57. Mme. Justine Du Mazer and her son Felix, 14. Laurent Tortero. 14. Felix Forestier, policeman. Admiral Philippe Berthelot, prefect of the Toulon naval base, was wounded slightly by a stray bullet but was able to return to Toulon today.

fully reflected the early professional training of their respective managers. Mike Cochrane and his assistant, Cy Perkins, got their raising from old Connie Mack of Philadelphia, one of these silken characters who are best described as sweet. Frankie Frisch, who handles the Cardinals, was raised by John McGraw in the turbulent household of the New York Giants. He was fetched up. therefore, in an atmosphere of bickering and cruelty. Old Mr. McGraw used to call him a dumb Dutchman, and Mr. Frisch, who considers himself pretty bright at repartee, used to snap back: “I am not Dutch.” He played with Mr. McGraw for years, and any sweetness which may have tainted his soul was thoroughly soured out by the master by the time the old man called him a dumb Dutchman for the last time. That day, Mr McGraw added several ruddy adjectives and Mr. Frisch, running in from second base with wrath in

Tragedy in Marseille May Wreck All Barthou’s Work Europe Once Again Is Powder Box, Every Nation Watching Its Neighbor, and All Ready to Leap. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Scripps-Howard Forcfkn Editor WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.—When 1 last saw Foreign Minister Louis Barthou in Paris last June, he expressed the fear that just such a tragedy as that in Marseille yesterday would endanger the peace of Europe. In the privacy cf his closed limousine, as we rode from the French foreign office on the Quai D'Orsay to his home

near the Etoile, he expressed the hope that the nations of the old world would be organized for peace before it happened. He was too old, he said, for any one to accuse him of personal ambitions or selfish motives. If he could be instrumental in helping set up a peace organization strong enough to withstand such shocks, he would die content. Desiiny, however, made him a victim of just such a tragedy as he feared, and snatched him from the scene before his job was done. What was to be Barthou’s crowning achievement—a series of interlocking Locarnos binding all Europe to co-operate to maintain the status quo—has been left in the balance. It may fail for lack of his deft hand to complete the job he began. Barthou was convinced that Hitler was arming for war. Germany's western frontiers already are guaranteed by the Locarrlo treaties of a decade ago, so what he planned was an eastern Locarno to do the same for her frontiers to the east. To promote his scheme he had journeyed to London, Warsaw, Prague, Bucharest and Belgrade. Success had attended his footsteps. It seemed he needed only to bring about a rapprochement between France and Italy, long estranged, to complete his task. He needed to make only one more trip, this to Rome, and the entente would be a fait accompli. Already a tentative date had been set for the last of this month with Premier Mussolini.

his soul, posed himself on the lip of the dugout and yelled his iefi at John McGraw. “For the last time,” he hollered, “you have called me a Dutchman. Now you can go to hell.” So Mr. McGraw traded Frisch to the Cardinals, still insisting, however, that he was not only Dutch but dumb. Under the management of Frank Frisch, the Cardinals have borne a haunting resemblance to the Giants of Old John. Their Pepper Martin is a McGraw ball player who kicks more than his allowance of punts in the course of a season or series but is always fighting hard to win. Their Bill De Lancey, the catcher, is a McGraw type and the old man would have loved to be present at the Tigers’ plant yesterday afternoon ana see a ball player after his own heart slide into third gnashing his spikes at the man covering the bag.

But here fate intervened. Italy and Yugoslavia of late have been drifting still farther apart, and if Barthou’s talks with Mussolini were to bear the maximum of fruit, France, Yugoslavia's ally, should act as peacemaker between that country and Italy. Barthou could not very well return to Belgrade. That is something which, diplomatically, could not be done. But King Alexander ! could return Barthou's visit and. once in Paris, the problems so vital to the peace of Europe could be thrashed out. Just a House of Cards Europe is a delicately adjusted house of cards—more so, even, than it w*as twenty years ago at the time of Sarajevo. Had King Alexander been slain in Italy—as he might have been but for his decision to journey to France by warship instead of by train, as did his wife, Queen Marie—war almost certainly would have followed within thirty days. Belgrade likely would have blamed the plot on Rome. The most reassuring factor in the bloody business is that it happened in France, long Yugoslavia's most loyal friend. This and the fact that Louis Barthou, idol of France, fell at his side. Even so it may be days, perhaps weeks or months, before the effects of Marseille's gory Tuesday can be gauged fully. Civil war in Yugoslavia may grow out of the tragedy. Should hostile Serbs, Croats and Slovenes fly at each other’s throats in the unsettled days to come, the first easily might spread to other countries. j Italy long has had its eyes on the Dalmatian coast across the Adriatic, j Years ago she set up a puppet state 1 in Albania as a bridgehead, the Yugoslavs charge, for use in an ' armed invasion of the Balkans when the time should be ripe. Hungary Biding Her Time Hungary, on the other side, has bided her time for years, waiting for Europe's powder magazine to blowup so that her hope of regaining at least some of her lost territory might be realized. Austria, to the north, now is regarded as under the tutelage of Rome. Rumania and Czechoslovakia, members of the little entente with j Yugoslavia and with that country allies of France, can not remain indifferent to any event imperiling their ally to the south. Nor can ' Soviet Russia, now a full-fledged member of the League of Nations. For the southern Slavs are their kin. And across them all lies the shadow of Nazi Germany, headed by Adolf Hitler. Even the unexcitable. j phlegmatic Britishers accuse him of preparing for war the moment the cards fall his way. i

Vienna Trembles as News of Tragedy Sweeps Over Continent. CROATIAN PLOT, IS HINT Capitals Watch Carefully as Developments in Pacts Are Awaited. BY STEWART BROWN United Pros* Staff Cnrrupondent (Copyright. 1934. bv United Press) VIENNA, Oct. 10.—Troops were alert in central and southern Europe today as governments awaited repercussions from the assassinations at Marseille. So serious was the situation regarded in this nerve center of European intrigue that many believed the peace of Europe might depend in great measure on whether foreign countries encouraged the Croatian conspirators whose nominee killed King Alexander and Louis Barthou. Though this view seemed exaggerated, the prospect for Europe was for months of uncertainty and danger. As for Yogoslavia itself, diplomatists here saw its relations with Italy in the next few weeks as the outstanding factor. The countries are unfriendly, really enemies. Some thought that the revolutionary Croats would try to stir up trouble between Italy and Yugoslavia to further their own aims. War Seen as Result In this connection there entered the question whether Yugoslavia would be able to maintain internal order—and some observers saw war as the result if It did not. A danger was seen that Croatians and other disaffected elements In the Yugoslav kingdom might split into warring factions—Croats, Slovenes and Macedonians against Serbs. At best they predicted a series of terroristic incidents that would keep Europe nervous and the troops on the fronters ready for trouble. It was ironic that Yugoslav experts here predicted their country’s real ruler in coming months would be General Peter Zivkovitch, whom the Croats accuse of being the most cruel of their Serbian—to them—oppressors. Frontiers Are Closed Yugoslavia’s frontiers were closed to outgoing passengers as soon as the assassinations were known. Telephone service to Belgrade was severed for hours. Dispatches from several points Indicated that troops were moving, though in small numbers. From Trieste came private reports that the Yugoslav garrisons on th 4 Austrian frontier were reinforced. Some passengers on trains along the Yugoslavian frontier saw troops “everywhere,” but a United Press correspondent who reached Zagreb from Vienna saw few. REBEL CHIEFS HUNTED BY SPANISH FORCES Government Given Free Hand to Crush Revolt. Up United Prt ss MADRID, Oct. 10.—The Spanish government, given a free hand by parliament in dealing with the broken Socialist-Communist revolt, sought today to capture rebel leaders who have promised their followers to “die with the cause” rather than flee Spain. Conservative, impartial estimates of casualties in the six days of fighting in Barcelona, the Asturias and Madrid indicated a death list of more than 450 and over 1,600 seriously wounded.
