BARCE ‘HIDING’ 8 ‘WITNESSES’ IN BREAK QUIZ Prober Leaves Monticello in Hurry to Continue Dillinger Probe. ARRESTS BELIEVED NEAR Assistant Attorney-General Departs Hurriedly to Escape Writ. Rrlativrs of Mrs. Otis Cleveland, East Chicago, aunt of Lewis Raker, Lake county jailer, today planned to appeal to Governor Paul V. McNutt to disclose Baker's whereabouts. Baker, one of the “witnesses” in the Crown Point jail investigation, is in custody of Edward Raree, deputy attorney-gen-eral. The Lake county jailer’s presence at Mrs. Cleveland’s funeral is sought by her relatives, heeause he was "her favorite nephew.” BY ARCH STKINEL Times Staff Writer MONTICELLO. Ind.. Oct. 31.—His whereabout again successfully hidden in the deepest mystery, Edward Barce, assistant attorney-general, this afternoon continued his “quiet questioning" of eight “witnesses’ in his investigation into John Dillinger's notorious “wooden gun" escape March 3 from the county jail, after having fled legal interference here by a mad dash in’o the cold of an extremely early morning, i Three actual arrests, in the air now for several days, were expected before nightfall. The performance this morning was said by those familiar with lawenforcement in this state to be unique. At 1:30 this morning/ while, it is said, some of the “witnesses” were dictating statements on the jail j break, P. Twyman, attorney ior Ernest Blunk. one of the “witnesses.” arrived in Monticello with the avowed purpose of freeing his client through a habeas corpus action. At that time. Mr. Barce, his large group of state police and Detective Sergeant Sandor Singer, Hammond, special investigator for Mr. Barce. were occupying twenty of the fortyfive rooms in the Forbis hotel here with their "witnesses.” The iWvrncy rooms took up the entire third floor of the hotel and part of the second floor. Petition for Writ Mr. Twyman went at once to the office of Circuit Judge Ralph McClurg. who was awakened by phone, and there petitioned for a writ of habeas corpus for Blunk, deputy sheriff and finger print expert at the Lake county jail. Judge McClurg. a Republican, allow-ed the writ to be sworn out. Sheriff William Hayes then set out to serve his fellow-Domocrat, Mr. Barce, and Harvey Hire, state ; police investigator, named by Mr. Twyman as the men who had Blunk in their custody. At the hotel. C. B. Wirls. proprietor. refused to allow the sheriff j to go up to the third floor, saying he allowed no one to go through the rooms of his guests. Sheriff Hayes retreated to determine the law and to find out whether, as Mr. Wirls insisted, a search warrant was necessary before he could look ior Mr. Barcc. Mr. Twyman insisted that the sheriff did have the right to search for Mr. Barce. The sheriff returned to the hotel. Skirmish With Writers In the meantime, a ear carrying Mr. Barce. Mr. Hire and, among others. Mr. Blunk, had left the hotel. Three other cars were out in front, ready to leave, with the state police. Sergeant Singer and others of the “witnesses.” There was an unconfirmed report that Mr. Barce had departed from j the hotel by way of the back fire escape. Just before the three remaining state automobiles left, there was a brief, but extremely lively skirmish, between Sergeant Singer and state police, on one side, and newspaper men on the other.

VOLUME 46—NUMBER 148

To Every Boy — This letter is reprinted from The Times of Oct. 28. 1933 at the request of a reader. His request follows the original letter. To the Editor. Indianapolis Times Dear Sir: A near-tragedy occurred at my home last evening about 10 o'clock. Having read the daily press reports of the epidemic of bank bandits, home burglaries in my own neighborhood and holdups generally, my wife and I were discussing the situation, somewhat nervously, when suddenly I heard a noise at my dining room window', as though some one was prying it open from the outside. With nerves tingling, I went to my bedroom, obtained a revolver, dipped quietly into the darkened dining room and waited. Almost at once I saw a head rise before the lower window pane and the prying or scratching sound started again. I took careful aim and quickly made up my mind to fire if the window was raised the least bit. The tenseness of the situation was getting the best of me, my revolver was cocked ready to shoot. The head gradually came up. then a part of the face and nose showed. I aimed again, and —just as I started to pull the trigger, I heard a laugh, and then other voices joined in the laugh and they ran from the yard—merely some big boys playing a Halloween prank. I slumped into a chair and was absolutely helpless, speechless, for almost an hour, and I haven't yet gotten over the shock of how- near I came to killing a young man. Something should be done by the press of the city. Boys have started almost two weeks before Halloween to soap windows, throwrotten tomatoes and fruit at porches and windows, and to destroy property generally. No doubt bandits and crooks will take advantage of the Halloween spirit to rob and plunder and. perhaps, kill. There is a tenseness in the air and citizens are determined to protect their homes. They will not tolerate the usual trespassing and destruction of property this year. It is a DANGEROUS situation. My experience last night so impressed my young son that he immediately decided to forego the usual outdoor activities this Halloween and will confine his fun to indoor parties with his friends. The Times w'ill be rendering a great public service if you publish on the front page of your paper each day for a short time a warning to parents to persuade their children to forego the usual Halloween pranks and destruction of other people's property this year. It may even save a few lives. VERY SINCERELY. A WORRIED FATHER. • • '■■■ Editor. The Times. Dear Sir: Last Halloween The Times published on the front page in a box a letter from a “Worried Father” who came near shooting a boy over a Halloween prank. I am satisfied that this letter kept thousands of boys and young men from malicious destruction of property. At least it was the best thing that ever happened in my neighborhood. I have heard the same said by a lot of other property ow-ners. Why not republish this.letter again this year in the same position? It may save lives as well as property. Year before last about SIOO worth of damage was done to my premises and this year I intend to protect my home, regardless. A TIMES ADMIRER.

By l nited Prc* WOODLAND. Cal., Oct. 31.—A midsummer night's tragedy that interrupted forever the trilogy of “The White Hibiscus" through the slaying of a young poet in love with another man's wife, continued its unfolding today in selection of a jury to decide whether Judson C. Doke committed murder, as charged by the state, in killing his wife's paramour. A panel of 100 prospective jurors was reduced to fifty as the attorneys renewed efforts to cull from the veniremen any who may have been prejudiced by the revelations of the burning love the slaving victim. 23-year-old Lamar Hollingshead, professed in passionate letters and love poems for 26-year-old Helen Louise Doke.

PEACEFUL END PREDICTED FOR A. & P. STRIKE Truce Drawn at Parley in Washington Studied by Rivals. DECISION IS DUE SOON U. S. Labor Board Acts With Unprecedented Speed in Cleveland Case. Hi) United Presx WASHINGTON, Oct. 31.—Acting with unprecedented speed, the National Labor Relations Board today submitted a plan for a peaceful end of the Cleveland grocery store strike and lockout which threatened President Roosevelt’s truce between capital and labor. Official hopes were high that the board’s plan would be accepted by both parties. Drafted in conference with John A. Hartford, president of the Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company and officers of Cleveland labor unions, it will be submitted to the A. & P. directorate and the union membership. A decision is expected within a few days. In New York, financial circles pointed out that the Great Atlantic j & Pacific Tea Company virtually is controlled bv Mr. Hartford and his brother, George, and that his deI cision was not subject to approval !of his board. The fact that Mr i Hartford took part in the conference that drafted the plan was taken as a strong indication of its acceptability to the company. In Cleveland, it was believed the plan would be acceptable to the unions, if, for no other reason, than it assures the A. & P. rehiring its 2,200 employes, discharged when it closed all its 300 stores, and conj tinuing in business there. For the Hartfords to have carried out their | threat to abandon the Cleveland field would have been an expensive j “victory” for organized labor.

300 Stores to Reopen The plan provides immediate end of the strike against the A. & P. Company and immediate reopening of the 300 closed A. & P. stores. The 2,200 idle employes would be reinstated without discrimination. Despite apparent collaboration in drawing up the pact, the board emphasized that: “It was understood expressly by the board that neither praty was committed to the proposal, but both parties made it clear that they would take the proposed agreement under consideration as a recommendation of the board and would inform the board within a few days of their decision.” The agreement was announced after nearly twelve hours of continuous deliberation. Besides Mr Hartford and the two members of the labor board, representatives of the seven involved unions and Edward F. MeGrady, assistant secretary of labor, attended the conference. T?ie plan provides: Immediate end of the strike. Immediate reopening of closed stores and reinstatement of all employes without discrimination. Agreement by the company to meet with the unions for the purpose of collective bargaining. Coercion Is Outlawed Agreement by the company not to discriminate against workers for union activities and a promise to advise all workers that it does not object to their joining a union and will not discriminate against them for such action. Agreement by the unions that they will resort to no coercion or intimidation to compel a man to join the union. Agreement that should any difference arise under these points neither side will resort to a strike or lockout but that arbitration shall be employed; agreement that the arbitrator may order reinstatement and back pay for any employe found to have been discriminated against. The agreement to be in effect until June 16, 1935. Agreement by the company to resume its trucking contracts in Cleveland immediately and to insist that employes of these companies be reinstated without discrimination. Unions which must approve the agreement are the meat cutters, bakers, warehousemen, managers and clerks, machinists, stationary engineers and firemen.

The unfaithful wife, who publidy admitted her guilty relations with the youth, was in Woodland when the trial began, but she did not appear in the little courtroom, with seats for eighty persons. Her part in the trial remains a mystery. She may be a defense witness. She has offered to aid her husband, and has professed rekindled love for him. “There is no love between us now,” Mr. Doke said in answer.

POLICE TO CHAPERON DANCERS AT CIRCLE Annual Halloween Social to Be Held Tonight. Thirty policemen, the city's finest, will act as chaperons when Indianapolis holds its annual Halloween dance on the Circle tonight. Their duty, primarily, will be to see that the merrymakers enjoy themselves to the fullest exent of the law, but they have made it clear that the lamp posts around the Circle can not be used as stakes for witch-burnings. Bobbing for apples in the waters of the fountain also will be frowned upon politely, but firmly, by Chief Mike Morrissey and his men. Monument Circle will be closed to traffic after 6 and parking will not be allowed after that time in the area bounded by Ohio, Pennsylvania. Washington and Illinois streets.

The letters told of moments of stolen ecitacies, of ambitions for a building for a solid future, of establishing a home for Helen Louise and himself and of hoping for a child. “We wiil have our home and you will make it beautiful.” the youth in his burning passion for the darkhaired wife of another man wrote. "We will have our child, and I will honor your motherhood with the cloying sweetness of a poet's heart. Darling, ch darling, where there is a will there is a way.” . Hollingshead once wrote of making his home in Mexico, “be-

MEXICO MOVES TO CLOSE ALL CHURCHES AND EXILE BISHOPS (CoDyriKht. 1934. by United Press) MEXICO CITY, Oct. 31.—President Abelardo Rodriguez today charged Roman Catholic clergymen with fomenting rebellion and ordered Attorney-General Emilio Portes Gil to take action against those found guilty. His order was believed to be the first move in a campaign to expel all Catholic archbishops and bishops from the country at once, and to expel all priests later. There were apparently authentic reports that every Catholic church in the country would be closed within a month and every priest expelled. President Rodriguez’ order came just after a decision by the supreme court that property of any one who rented buildings for use by the Catholic church should be forfeited to the state.

It will be in the contact of culture that we will become conscious of our innermost veins.” Once he advised his paramour to be "happy in your home, be happy with Judson.” "For what am I but a pale shadow, a good pearl, a symbol of what is to come.” the winner of campus poetry prizes wrote. "Oh how I love you, I press you close to my heart forever and a day.” A week later he apparently had forgotten Judson for the next letter read: “I am so terrified when we are apart. Now I wish you were here. I would hold you close and tell you with all the force of my being that i I will never you, that I will

I will carry this good pearl. Helen Louise, of my existence to the greatest heights two human souls have ever gone.” Again he wrote: "Oh. God.

Friend of American Labor Pleads for Election of Minton. TOBIN FLAYS ROBINSON Gigantic Parade and Bombs Precede Speeches: 2.000 Hear Van Nuys. BY JAMES DOSS Times Staff Writer Organized labor's back was turned squarely on Senatoi*\rthur Robinson last night when almost 13,000 turned out to hear Senator Robert F. Wagner, New York, in one of the largest and most enthusiastic political rallies Marion county has witnessed in some time. Cadle tabernacle started filling more than an hour before the program opened and before marchers in a huge torchlight parade were able to reach die meeting. So tremendous was the crush that approximately 2.000 of the overflow crowd were sent to Tomlinson hall, where Senator Frederick Van Nuys spoke until Senator Wagner’s address was put on the air at 9:30. Bombs Herald Parade Aerial bombs signalized the approach of the parade in which bands and floats interspersed blocks ot marchers by wards and townships. A stunt flier zoomed over the tabernacle, flares burning on the fuselage of his plane. A toy cannon roared and brass bands, jug bands and drum corps competed with the music inside the tabernacle as the marchers drew near the meeting place. And if there was any doubt about the way the Negro vote is going in Marion county, it was dispelled last night. There were huge blocks of Negro marchers, bearing flags and banging away at tin pans. There was a uniformed Negro band, too. Officials Are In Van No formal march music for them —they played “hi-de-ho” strains, led by a strutting drum major topped by a rakish dolman. An hour was required for the marchers to pass a given point and the program was through Ludlow and almost to Kern when the last float and last marcher had reached the tabernacle. Presiding in the gaily decorated tabernacle was Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan, who introduced Superior Judge John W. Kern, mayoral nominee; Louis Ludlow, Twelfth district representative; James Shanessy, president of the International Barbers’ Union; Dr. S. D. Merriwether, head of the Negro division of the Democratic county committee; Daniel J. Tobin, president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters and Chauffeurs, and Judge Earl R. Cox. Mayor Sullivan explained that Dr. William H. Larrabee, Eleventh district representative, was ill and unable to attend. The mayor also presented state Senator Jacob Weiss, speakers* bureau chairman, who was a leader in arranging the meeting; Walter Boetcher, county chairman; Omer S. Jackson, state chairman, and Talcott Powell, editor of The Indianapolis Times. Mr. Powell introduced Senator

Kern Speaks Briefly Judge Kern spoke briefly, renewing his challenge to the Coffin element in the Marion county Republican government and pleadinc 195, a continuation of the good govirnment policies which have marked the Sullivan administration. Judge Kern's voice almost broke and he was visibly affected when he mentioned the name of his father. Senator John W. Kern and the impulsion he feels to pass along that name untarnished to his own son. His position of vice-president of the American Federation of Labor lending added weight to his words, Mr. Tobin assailed Senator Robinson as an enemy of the working man. Indorsing Sherman Minton, the Democratic nominee for senator, Mr. Tobin arraigned Senator Robinson for his failure to support labor’s new deal. "The working man, the friends of organized labor, hold in their hands today a noble heritage that Senator Robinson never thought of giving them,” Mr. Tobm declared. Assails Li'l Arthur "In Section 7-A of the National Recovery Act, the American working man has a declaration by his government that it is national policy for labor to have equal privilege with capital—the right to collective bargaining. “Can labor turn its back upon the first man ever to occupy the White House with the courage and fairness to give labor equal opportunities? Can the friend of labor vote against the greatest friend labor ever had—President Franklin D. Roosevelt? “Every laboring man knows, or should know, that the policies of former President Hoover, Andrew Mellon and Ogden Mills favored the interests of capital as opposed to the interests of labor. Every laboring man in Indiana should know that Senator Arthur R.
