SAGES ABSORB 72 CENTS OF RELIEF DOLLAR 28 Cents Is Direct Dole and Administration Costs Here. COUNTY GETS $600,00C Distribution Expenses Are Among Lowest in Nation. BY ARCH STEINEL Tint** SUIT Writer Indiana's relief dollar 1* a pay roll pie for the unemployed. Sliced into bites, a 62-cent portion of each relief dollar spent in the state goes into the pockets of men on FERA works projects and thence into the tills of groceries, pockets of landlords and department store bank accounts in the state. In Marion county and Indianapolis in November, plums totaling $600,000 were doled out. with 72 cents of each dollar going to wage relief and 28 cents spent for food, shelter, fuel and administration cost. When the pie is divided, mark out three sections: Direct relief work, work relief and administration cost. Work relief is the paying of wages to the unemployed on worthwhile public works and relief manufacturing projects. It forms a 72cent hunk of the relief dollar. Direct relief is the giving of food orders, fuel, shelter and medical aid without the beneficiary working for bare subsistence grants. It is 23 per cent of the relief dollar. Administration cost is only a 5cent slice in Marion county and 7 cents a relief dollar in the state. Administration Cost Low State reliefs summary of the three main costs of aiding the unemployed follows. Work relief. 62 cents of each relief dollar; direct relief. 31 cents, and administration costs. 7 cents. The state as well as the county has one of the lowest administration costs in the nation. Illinois reported in one month this year administration costs of 13 per cent. Columbus. 0., in a recent survey, reported an overhead of 10 per cent. Although forming one-half of the relief load. 9.000 families in the county, the family head on direct relief receives but 23 Tents of the relief dollar. Beneficiaries of direct relief do not work for their portion of the relief dollar. Illness, old age, insufficient government funds for work relief programs, prevent them from being placed on a wage basis. Out of each 23 cenL received by direct relief “clients,” as social workers call them, 15 cents is for food; 4 cents for fuel; 2 cents, shelter: 1 cent, clothing, and 1 cent, medical aid and hospitalization. Work for Rent Their rent, in many cases, is paid either bv working for the landlord or through the relief dollar paying delinquent taxes and an additional 50 cents monthly for upkeep of each additional room in his dwelling. _ .

Babes in Woods Tragedy Brings Bitter Family Feud Relatives of Five Victims Split Into Two Factions Following Identification of Bodies. By United Prem ROSEVILLE. Cal., Dec. I.—ln a strange sequel to the “babes in the woods” tragedy of the Pennsylvania hills, relatives of the five victims today split into a bitter family feud marked by arrests and charges of bewitchment.” The intrafamily, dispute swelled into a storm following the positive identification of the bodies as those of Elmo Noakes, 32-year-old Rose-

ville widower; Winifred Pierce. 18. his niece and housekeeper, and three little girls, two of them Noakes' daughters, the third, his ward. Mrs. J. C. Gibby, sister of the man who led the group from Roseville to Pennsylvania, charged that Winifred was responsible. “I warned Elmo not have anything to do with her.” she said. ••Winnie could make him do about anything she wanted him to.” The girl’s mother and her brothers rallied to her defense and claimed that if any one had been misled, it was the girl who quit high school six months ago to enter Noakes’ home to take care of the girls—l 2, 10 and 8 years old. They retaliated by having Mrs. Gibby and her sister. Mrs. Winnie Chaffin, arrested on charges of disturbing the peace by “abusing and cursing” Mrs. Pearl Pierce. Winifred's mother and their sister. When John Bass, justice of the peace, imposed a ninety-day suspended sentence on the two women. Mrs. Chaffin collapsed, kicking and screaming, according to courtroom witnesses. Both families insisted that it was fear of small town gossip—Roseville is a community of less than 5.000 — more than a k>ve affair that drove Noakes and his household to flee Nov. 11 in an automobile the railroad ygrd worker had purchased for *4B just the-day before. Their flight ended when their funds became exhausted, with ■the three little girls apparently suffocated and Noakes and the Pierce girl shot to death in central Pennsylvania. Authorities believed the adults

recently also was in the hands of state police when, at the request of local authorities, they went to Mooresville to seek Hubert Dillinger. ’ One of the crimes In which two bandits participated was marked by extreme brutality, the bandits beating with their revolver butts one of the owners and an employe of the Buffalo Inn, 2914 Madison avenue, after robbing the patrons. Joseph E. Lancaster, Box 44, R. R. 1. one of the owners of the tavern, was beaten so badly he was taken to city hospital. Wilbur E. Manwaring, 21, of 2900 Brill street, the employe. was struck several times by one of the thugs because, the thug explained in surly tones, “I don’t like your face.” It was at the inn that one of the two thugs spoke of a brother killed by police and of his desire to obtain revenge. Get $l2O in Cash From the patrons of the inn, where they arrived about 8, the robber:* obtained $l2O in cash, a watch valued at $45 and a Plymouth coupe. The thugs, who had arrived together in a, Chevrolet coupe, drove away separately, one in their car and one in the Plymouth, property of Francis Klein, Box 116, R. R. 1. from whom they also had obtained SSO in cash. Edward J. propper, 2106 East Troy avenue, was robbed of S6O arid the watch and a man who left the inn before police arrived was said to have been robbed of $lO or sl2. In their second raid, which occurred a few minutes before 10, the thugs were traveling together fn the' Chevrolet again. This time they visited a Sinclair Refining Company filling station at College avenue and Forty-ninth street. There, one asked Thaddeus Schoen, 1446 Fairfield avenue, attendant, if he might see a phone directory. Leaves Companion to Follow As Mr. Schoen turned with the directory, one of the thugs threatened him with a .32-caliber blue steel automatic. The gun slipped from the bandit’s hand as he advanced, however, and he turned and fled after recovering it from the floor. The nervous bandit fled north cn College avenue, leaving his companion sitting in their parked coupe. The companion followed the first bandit north on College avenue and, presumably, they rejoined there. It was in this second holdup that the license number, traced through the statehouse to Hubert Dillinger, was obtained.

may have entered into a “murdersuicide” pact as the result of their financial condition and the realization that they could not turn to Roseville relatives for aid or sympathy. R. U. Noakes. brother of the widower, was undecided today about plans to go to Pennsylvania to claim the bodies. He has been advised by authorities that the bodies should be buried immediately. Relatives of the Pierce girl also were not certain of their plans for bringing the body back here.

ANOTHER CHRISTMAS—A CHANCE TO CLOTHE A CHILD

“QANTA CLAUS is coming to town.” Over the radio this Eddie Cantor melody is sung. Bustling shoppers, arms laden with packages, sing it today as they crowd city stores. It is their own Santa they shop for. But Monday The Indianapolis Times is bringing a Santa who goes into the homes where shoe soles are worn to threads, where the clothing of children is handed down in stairstep fashion. That is the annual Clothe-A-Child campaign of The Times. He is a Santa who in four year* of cheering needy school children of the city has clothed more than 2,000 boys and girls.

Accused of Torturing 10-Year-Old Daughter With Hot Iron f Young Widow Is Placed Under Arrest

Ten-year-old Bernice Heitz cried softly in childish bewilderment today at the Juvenile Detention home where bandages that‘wathed serious burns, alleged by police, to have been inflected by her mother represented the only kindness she said she had known for many months. She was found at her home at 539 Bell street last night by police summoned by neighbors, her burns unattended and in a critical state. She said, simply, that she had been “naughty, and mother punished me.” The punishment, she said, consisted of running a hot curling iron over her hands, between her fingers and on her legs, and the offense was the “theft” of a jar of mayonnaise dressing which she said she ate because she was hungry. Police found her mother, Mrs. Jean Heitz, 37, at a restaurant where she worked at nights. Ob-

viously under great nervous stress, she readily admitted the punishment of the child, police said. She was taken to police headquarters where she asked to be allowed to make a telephone call. Completely without funds, she borrowed the necessary nickel. Her husband, she said, died four years ago and she had been the sole support of Bernice and a son, Joseph, 12, since then. To get enough to clothe, feed and house them, she said, she worked days in one place and nights another. She offered no defense for her drastic punishment of Bernice except that she was nervous. “When you are as nervous and have as many worries as I have, you sometimes do things you are sorry for afterward,” she was quoted as saying. Mrs. Heitz did not sleep but instead paced her cell the whole night

Private welfare agencies and the social service division of the public schools felt the Yule tide aid of Clothe-a-Child in 1934 long after the 1933 holly wreaths were wasted.

This morning she told The Indianapolis Times cynically that no matter what she said it “will be twisted around and used against me.” She paced the cell and dug fingernails into her wrist. She said the child had been a constant source of worry to her, and that she sometimes became unbearably nervous over it. The boy, she said, was much easier to discipline.

Father of *Captive GirV Gets 180 Days, S2OO Fine Stepmother Placed on Probation for Year and Future of Helen Mack Remains Unsettled. The future of 16-year-old Helen Mack, who late yesterday afternoon heard her parents convicted on charges of imprisoning her in a dingy, locked room in her home for more than eight months, remained unsettled today. Juvenile Judge John F. Geckler. after sentencing Harry Mack, the girl’s father, to 180 days on the Indiana state farm and to pay a S2OO

fine, placed her stepmother, Mrs. Ora Troutman Mack on a year’s probation. Judge Geckler said he would decide within a week the arrangements for Helen’s permanent guardianship. The anaemic, undernourished girl returned to the stand toward the end of the two-day hearing and reiterated previous testimony that her stepmother had treated her kindly and had sought to prevent Mack from imprisoning and beating her. This brought leniency for Mrs. Mack. Mrs. John Miller, material grandmother, with whom Helen lived for two years after her mother’s death, has told juvenile court attaches she again is eager to make a home for the girl. An orderly crowd filled the courtroom in contrast to the milling audience which last week broke glass in a partition separating the courtroom from a private office. There were “no sounds that sounded like hissing” during yesterday's hearing after Judge Geckler had questioned the accuracy of descriptions of the courtroom scene of a week ago. Outside the courtroom in the lower courthouse corridor, hundreds of men and women struggled to en-

What do you do? Where do you get the children? How much does it cost to make a child happy for Christmas? Can clubs, bowling teams, lodges, office groups join? All these questions will be answered in Monday's Times with the opening of the 1934 campaign of Clothe-A--Child.

Previously, she said, she had been treated by the school nurse for burns. On that occasion she said she led the nurse to believe that she had been playing with fire.

Reviews Mack’s Career After Mack and admitted locking the girl in her room because, he charged, she had stoledn money from her stepmother’s purse, Judge Geckler said he would take into consideration the fact that Mack had served overseas for thirteen months with A. E. F. “I do not believe,” declared the judge, “that my children would testify against me unless I was guilty of a serious offense. Ido not believe any child that has been raised to love and be affectionate with her parents would accuse me of something I did not do.” Reviewing Mack’s career. Judge Geckler said the man’s limited education would be taken into consideration. “I do not believe he ever read any of the classics or that he knows anything about life,” the judge declared. “This man seems to have had no conception of what a father should be toward a daughter. This probably is due to his training or environment.” Mrs. Mack, who retained her composure during the trial, wept bitterly as sentence was passed on her husband. She stroked his hand affectionately as she wept. Mack stared straight ahead. Helen Weeps Quietly Helen, seated beside Mrs. Anna Pickard, detention heme matron, wept quietly. Judge Geckler said she would be taken to the Board of Children’s Guardians’ Home pending final decision. Testifying m his own defense, Mack asserted Helen had not been fed on bread and gravy, as she Claimed. The girl. Mack said, had eaten the same meals as he and Mrs. Mack. He said Helen had stolen money with which to buy compacts, candy and face powders. A moment later the state had Mrs. Mary Ross. 413 East st.

Helen had denied she stole money and said whatever money she had came from Mrs. Rose*

Coast Guardsman Loses His Life in Daring Attempts. FIGHT 15-FOOT WAVES Crew of Storm-Battered Whaler Taken From Ship Safely. By United Press MUSKEGON. Mich., Dec. 1. —Desperately battling their way through a sixty-mile-an-hour gale, coast guardsmen today rescued all twenty-five members of the crew of the steamer Henry Cort as the blizzard pounded the ship on a breakwater outside Muskegon harbor. With one coast guardsmen lost in an earlier attempt to reach the foundering ?r earner, the rescuers bravely took to the seas again and cheers rose from 1.000 shivering spectators as the coast guard surfboat fought its way out to the wallowing whaleback freighter. Members of the Henry Cort.’s crew had huddled in the cabin as the gale pounded unmercifully at the ship during the night and frustrated all rescue attempts. As the tiny surfboat was launched once again thus morning, they came on deck and grasped firmly to cables to watch the guardsmen fight their way out. Lashed by 15-Foot Wave For thirty minutes, the guardsmen struggled madly to keep their tiny craft from capsizing in the fifteenfoot waves. When they had reached the lee of the breakwater finally, they secured themselves with lines hurled out from the Henry Cort. The men on the Cort lowered themselves hand over hand to the bobbing surfboat and were carried back to shore in another deathdefying ride through the waves. The man lost in the desperate battle during the night was Guardsman John Dipert of Frankfort. He was thrown into the sea from the lifeboat during one of the unsuccessful attempts to put a line alxxul the steamer for a breeches buoy. Asa gray dawn lighted up the storm-swept. Muskegon harbor shore, the battered whaleback was barely visivle through the raging blizzard, rolling loggilv in the giant waves. Hundreds See Dramatic Battle Spindrift from the riprap breakwater flew over the cabin and pilot house in which the crew were sheltered. Snow made the ship invisible except through occasional rifts. Hundreds of Muskegon residents built bonfires along the shore and remained through the night as the drama developed. Soaked through his heavy sea clothing but still laboring in the biting cold to prepare a breaches buoy for use at daylight. Captain John A. Basch, commander o* the Muskegon coast guard station, told with tears coursing down his face of the loss of Mr. Dipert. “We had all kinds of trouble getting our craft launched,” Captain Basch said. “Surf piled the boat back on shore several times before we got off. “We finally got away and were almost out to the Cort when a cable parted. Our boat jumped like a cork. Deport shot out into the lake like a bullet. I never even saw him after that. A man couldn’t live a minute in that sea.” Lashed to Seats Captain Basch himself, with two other crewmen, lashed themselves to their seats after Mr. Dipert’s loss and were washed helplessly ashore. The Henry Cort has a reputation among lake sailors as a “bad luck” craft. The ship sank in Livingston channel just a year ago, but was raised and refitted. Its commander Ls Captain Charles V. Cox of Detroit. So severe was the storm that the Ann Arbor car ferry No. 6 cancelled its schedule from Manitowoc, WLs.. and another ferry bound from Frankfort. Mich., for Kewaunee, Wi*.. was forced back to the Frankfort harbor. Colder Here Tonight. While the terrific storm which was responsible for a 22-degree temperature drop here in the last twenty-four hours continued to move slowly northward, brushing this city only with its fringes, Indianapolis shivered m temperatures only a little above freezing, uncheered by the knowledge there would be even colder weather tonight. At 9 a. m., the thermometer shor ed 34 degrees and the city was gray under cloudy skies, which were not expected to break before sunshine earlier than this afternoon. The temperature drop prevailed all over Indiana, with a maximum drop of 26 degrees shown at Terre Haute and a minimum of 12 at Ft. Wayne. Ohio river valley cities and towns showed drops of from 22 to 24 degrees. The fair weather expected tonight probably will be followed by more cloudy weather tomorrow and, as warmer weather arrives tomorrow afternoon, possibly by rain tomorrow night. The center of the storm, which was born in the Gulf of Mexico, was traveling slowly northward above iii- ‘ichigan peninsula, where low tem>*rmtures and snow prevailed. Northern Ohio and western Pennsylvania were cloudy and. occasionally, rain-deluged.
