PRISONER RELATES AMAZING STORY Tells of Being: Kept in Dark Room, Fed Two Daily Meals of Cold Gravy and Cold Potatoes. Bond of SI,OOO each was continued today for Harry Mack, 38, and his wife, Mrs. Ora Mack, 32, of 1302 W est Market street, at their preliminary arraignment before L*. Russell Newgent, juvenile court referee, on charges of child nglect arising out of the year-long imprisonment of their 10-year-old daughter, Helen. Mrs. Mack, a bakery employe, made bond yesterday afternoon a few hours after her arrest. Mack, a groceryman, still is held at county jail in default of bond. They are represented by attorney Paul P. Scharffin. Both were arrested yesterday afternoon on charges of child neglect after their daughter had been found, wrapped in a dirty blanket, in a dark room at the W est Market street address. Trial was set for Monday in the absence from the

city of Judge Geckler. The Macks denounced charges that they had imprisoned the child as a “frame-up” by relatives and blamed the admitted fact that they locked her in her room on what they said was her kleptomaniac tendency to steal available objects in the home. Helm was freed when Mrs. Metta Davis, policewoman, and two juvenile court investigators. Miss Nell Dunkle and Miss Helen Maroney. •raided" the Mack home, half of a double house, gaining entrance with a skeleton key. Denies He Gave “Tip” They are reported to have acted on a “tip” from Walter S. Troutman. 115 North Harding street, father of Mrs. Mack, who is the girl's stepmother. Later, while Mack was charging that relatives had “framed" him. Mr. Troutman denied to newspapers that he had supplied the information on which the juvenile court action was based. Warrants for the arrest of Mack, who twice was convicted while a youth of contributing to the delinquency of minors, and for arrest of his wife were issued by Mr. Newgent after the three women "raiders" had reported what they found at the Mack apartment. The Macks were arrested when they returned there early yesterday afternoon, apparently for luncheon.

Bing Crosby, and that she had rot heard of the arrest of Bruno Hauptmann on charges of kidnaping the infant Charles Augustus Lindbergh Jr.. Helen has no plans

for the future. -May I Help With Dishes” She was sure of one thing, however. as she told her pitiful tale. This was that she did not want to return to her fathers and stepmother's home. "Please,” she asked Mrs. Anna Pickard, matron of the Marion county detention home, may I help with the dishes?” This question, which came aftet Helen had had a few minutes freedom from her dismal room "cell.” was accompanied by a tentative smile as the girl warmed to her new friends The answer was not one to shake her fears that she had found haven after her months of misery. "No. my dear.” said Mrs. Pickard. "you're going to play for a while now." Tells Amazing Story While she was becoming accustomed to her new home. Helen told an amazing story of mistreatment. This was denied categorically later by her father and stepmother. Helen told a story, convincing to juvenile home authorities and newspaper men. her audience, of having been locked for years in single rooms of houses inhabited by her family here and in Edge wood and Beech Grove. She charged that her food had consisted of two daily meals of cold gravy and cold potatoes while her parents ate. in front of her. such tantalizing delicacies as chicken and rabbit. "Helen always ate with us at the table.” countered her mother in a statement at the city prison while Helen was talking at the juvenile detention home, only a few blocks away. Stole Money. Says Mother The parents were emphatic, too, in their charges that Helen had stolen money in the house and that, if she were let outside, she would steal from other*. The girl denied this. She said she never had stolen from the Macks.

EXPENSES FILED BY DEMOCRATS *2 Per Cent Club' Donated $55,275 to Fund, Report Shows. The Hoosier Democratic Club, dubbed by its critics as the "Two Per Cent Club,” had a controlling monetary interest in the election campaign of the state Democratic committee. it was learned today from the financial report filed by William Storen, committee treasurer. The club donated $55,275 of the total receipts of $103,533. Committee disbursements were $103,151. Federal check taxes amounted to $6 and a balance of $475 remains. The club was so nicknamed because dues asked of state employes originally was 2 per cent of their salaries. Leading contributors to the state fund were Senator-elect Sherman Minton. $2,500; Thomas Taggart, $1,800; Governor Paul V. McNutt, $600; Paul Fry, excise director, $400; R. Earl Peters. $200; Omer S. Jack- : son. state chairman. $250; Victor M. OShaunessv. Lawrenceburg, SI,OOO, and Pleas Greenlee, the Governor’s secretary. S2OO. The report shows that county committees were assessed $20,000. Lake county received $6,000 from the state fund and Marion county $3,500. Governor McNutt throughout the campaign contended that contributions offered by state employes through the club were solicited rather than donations from interested persons seeking government favors.

TEACHER GRILLED IN KILLING OF 3 BABIES Decomposed Bodies Found in Trunk. By f nitetl Prc* NEW YORK. Nov. 21.—A neatly dressed, obviously cultured former school teacher was paraded in the criminal lineup at police headquarters today accused of homicide in connection with the grisly discovery of the bodies of three infants in a stored trunk. Aparently on the verge of collapse, Miss Ruby Clarke. 36. of Upper Nvack. denied vehemently that she knew anything about the bodies, so badly decomposed neither sex nor age could be determined. She said the trunk contained only odds and ends when she placed it in storage two years ago. The bodies were discovered by a warehouse employe. Ownership of the trunk was traced quickly.

Vivid Tale of Runaway Lovers' Life on Eden-Like Island Revealed in Letters From Self-Styled ‘Adam of Galapagos’

Wall St Plotted to Make Him Dictator of U. S., Smedley Butler Asserts Financiers Planned Coup to Overthrow Roosevelt, Install Ex-Marine as Fascist Czar to ‘Save Capitalism,' Major-General Tells Probers, BULLETIN NEW YORK. Nov. 21.—Gerald P. Maguire, Wall Street bond salesman alleged to have broached the idea of a Fascist revolt to General Smedley D. Butler, has identified himself as the “cashier” of a dictatorship movement, Representative Samuel Dickstein declared this afternoon. By United Press NEW YORK, Nov. 21.—Professing to take seriously a charge of a Wall Street plot to replace President Roosevelt with a Fascist dictator, members of a congressional committee today ordered a thorough investigation. Representative John W. Mac Cormack, chairman, hinted the committee had information of the alleged plot independent of that given by Major-General Smedley D. Butler and other witnesses yesterday. Butler’s sensational charge that

he had been asked to be "the man on the white horse" to lead a private army of 500,000 into Washington and take over the government, invoked a chorus of denials. These denials came from Gerald p. MacGuire, whom Butler said was the agent of Wall street; Colonel Grayson Mallet-Prevost Murphy, head of a Wall street house and MacGuire's employer; Thomas W. Lamont, partner of J. P. Morgan & Cos.; General Hugh S. Johnson, former NR A administrator, whom Butler said was third choice for the dictatorship, and General Douglas MacArthur, army chief of staff, alleged to be the second choice. All to Be Summoned McCormack announced that every person mentioned by Butler when he testified before the committee (appointed by congress to investigate un-American activities) would be summoned. The committee will hold another session this afternoon to probe deeper into the purported plot. “We have been in possession of certain information for about five weeks and have been investigating it,” he said. Butler returned to his home at Newton Square, Pa., yesterday, oblivious of the excitement his sensational charge aroused throughout the country. In brief, Butler's story told in executive session to the congressional committee was: McGuire approached him first last summer with a proposal that he lead an army of 500.000. made up mostly of war veterans, “to save the capitalistic system.” Intimated by this show of force, it was hoped. President Roosevelt would turn over power to Butler, either directly or through subterfuge. The march was planned for next summer. The backers had $3,000,000 in cash immediately available and could raise $50,000,000 in short order. This was all outlined to Butler in his first conversation with MacGuire, he said. It looked like treason to him, but he wanted more information, he testified; therefore, he made no definite decision immediI ately. Offered Money, He Says MacGuire told him, he said, that ; Wall Street interests were behind 1 the plot, and named names. Later, I he said. MacGuire arranged for a meeting with Robert Sterling Clark, a wealthy man with Wall Street inj terests. While these negotiations were under way, MacGuire offered him 1 SIB,OOO for his expenses if he would ; make a speech favoring the gold 1 standard before the American i Legion convention. Later Clark, too. offered him money, he said, and MacGuire showed him a bank book with deposits of some $60,000 to pay his expenses. Butler said he told Clark he ought to be ashamed. Butler said the plotters planned to ! invite General MacArthur to be dictator if he refused. Next in line, he said, were General Johnson, the;. Hanford MacNider, former legion commander. General Johnson's comment was: “He'd better be pretty damn careful. Nobody said a word to me about anything of this kind, and if they did I'd throw them out of the window."

Outside the Washington county poorhouse the valuable crude oil was making a black plume around their equipment, giving forceful reality to their dime-novel romance of success. Yerian and Hupp had been prosperous oil drillers who worked from Ohio to Oklahoma. Bad times came. They finally trudged off to the Washington county home, penniless, but not so much concerned over that as over the termination of a work they enjoyed. L. A.

LABOR-CAPITAL TRUCE SOUGHT Labor Fears Must Be Set at Rest, Is Belief of New-Dealers. By United Press WASHINGTON. Nov. 21.—Recovery urgently needs now a realization of the industrial truce proposed by President Roosevelt before the election. Labor and industrial management representing capital are far apart. Mr. Roosevelt seeks a middle-of-the-road course. He shortly must assure labor that its interests will be safeguarded in developing co-operation between the New Deal and tie United States Chamber of Commerce. Both sides will be disappointed when the assurance is given. Each will find favorite policies scrapped. But New Dealers believe it is vital to calm labor fears because the subsurface situation is alarming Factors favoring a Christmas business upturn would not be controlling if labor got out of hand. Confidential information leads o_ficials to believe steel, automobile and textile industrialists have a gentlemen's agreement to block employe elections designed to further organize their employes. Mr. Roosevelt probably will stand with labor on that issue. CRACiTPENNSY TRAIN DERAILED: 13 INJURED “Spirit of St. Louis” Is Wrecked Near Johnstown, Pa. By United Press JOHNSTOWN.

Lying on the sun-baked shore of barren Maichena island, one of fifty in the group, they hinted of a mystery of jealousy and intrigue. “But I am sure that, whatever strange thing has happened down there, Ritter and Frau Koerwin are safe,” said Dr. Baker Brownell of Northwestern university. a a a SPREAD before him were a dozen bulky letters from Ritter. Nearly five years ago he was a member of a yachting party which discovered the self-exiled German physician and his beautiful companion on the sylvan isle. Never again will he and Frau Koerwin return to civilization, wrote Ritter in one of his last letters to the professor. “We are truly at the entrance gates to heaven—we shall remain to the death, our naked bodies toiling in the sun.” “We turned our backs on the society of our fellow man,” wrote Ritter of his flight from Amsterdam with Frau Koerwin, a student of his philosophies. “We sought the solitude of an almost desert island where we would have peace of mind and an opportunity to cultivate our reflective powers to the fullest extent, a thing denied to man by the complexities of civilized life.” FRAU KOERWIN,Ye said, was “enthusiastic over the adventure and never has regretted it.” Dr. Brownell paused in his interpreting of the rugged German scrawl, spread across rough, ruled paper. “I’m sure he is right,” the professor said. “She is a marvelous person. Theirs wasn’t the flight of illicit lovers It was greater than that, or It never would have lasted.” Ritter wrote that: “For relief from the heat we were forced to discard all clothing except hip boots which we thought advisable foi; protection against the jagged rocks. Henceforth that was to be our conventional garb.” an a THE islands he described as volcanic in origin with only partial vegetation. There is very little rain but the clouds hang so low that on the higher slopes there is enough moisture for a lush growth of tropical plants. Cool trade winds fan the island. He described how he and Frau Koerwin, who herself had left a home and husband to travel across the world to the strange place, discovered a fertile valley deep within the place, abundant with fruits and a clear spring. “Dore was so infected by her joyousness that she staged a dance and I christened the lovely valley Friedo, our garden of peace.” Dr. Brownell said that several of his leters to Ritter apparently never reached their Faraway island. One of the envelopes addressed to the professor by Ritter bore a*notation, “delivered by the kindness of Mr. Vincent Astor.” The Astor yacht has made several trips to the Galapagos, mysterious “Garden of Eden.” NAVAL CONFERENCE TURNS TO POLITICS American, British Negotiators to Meet Friday.

Prosecution of Insult Is Depicted as Persecution Government Attempting ‘to Crucify Character Upon Cross of Prejudice,’ Cry of Defense Attorney. By United Press CHICAGO. Nov. 21.—The prosecution of Samuel Insull and his sixteen co-defendants was described in closing defense arguments today as “an attempt to crucify character upon the cross of prejudice." Charles L. Lounsbury concluded a dynamic plea to the jury hearing mail fraud charges with this dramatic appeal and the further suggestion that the prosecution was undertaken "to appease public clamor.”

Whatever may have been the reason for the prosecution, Mr, Louns- j bury continued, it has failed utterly. | “Please consider these factors," he asked the jury as he drew his case to a close: “1. Failure of the government to prove their case. “2. The high type of witnesses who

I will stay here so long as they will allow it.” “They let us drill a well, and that is what we like to do.” said Hupp. "That's our work."

FOUR PERISH IN” SHIP COLLISION Lake Freighter Goes Down Following Crash in Dense Fog. By United Press ALPENA, Mich., Nov. 21.—Four lives were lost when the lake freighter W. C. Franz sank today following a collision with the S. S. Edward Loomis in a dense fog seventeen miles southeast of Sturgeon Point, in Lake Huron. The Loomis was damaged badly in the crash, but was proceeding slowly down the lakes with rescued members of the Franz crew. She was due to dock at Harbor Beach, Mich., around 1 p. m. The S. S. Reiss Brothers stood by and aided in the rescue work. Names of the men lost in the collision were not included in the brief radiogram received at Rogers City commercial marine station which told of the collision and the subsequent sinking of the Franz. First news of the disaster was contained in a jerky SOS call sent out at 3:28 a. m., and picked up by Marconi Radio in New York and lake stations near here. The exact position was not given and the ship's operator was forced to end his call for help abruptly with a trembling SOS to take to lifeboats from the sinking vessel. Communication was made difficult by weather conditions and volume of commercial messages which flooded the air following the “silent” period during the SOS call.

The loss of personal profits to the defendants—a loss which was su.' ined only because of their abiding faith in the future of their enterprises. “In the light of these facts I unhesitatingly put the fate of the defendants in your hands.” Mr. Lounsbury's conclusion came at the start of what promised to be the longest court session since the I start of the famous case in the oid federal building two months ago i Judge James H. Wilkerson planned Ia night session tonight to speed the ' case to conclusion. In building up his final plea Lounsbury recited the economic hisI torv of the last five years, beginning with the lush period of 1929. Mr. Lounsbury endeavored to strengthen the defense plea that the defendants made mistakes, but that these mistakes were based on common fallacy in business judgment rather than upon criminal intent. "The defendants scuttled their ; own ship.” he said, “they passed up a hundred chances to get out with profit, yet they are treated as if they were crooks to commit business suicide.”
