HAUPTMANN IS NAMED RANSOM WRITERJGAIN Suspect Linked to Kidnaping by Seven State Script Experts. (Continued From Page One)

He was a real surprise, however, even to some members of the prosecution staff, who had not known Atty. Gen. David T. Wilentz planned to put him on. His testimony struck deeply at the defense's manifest intention to try to prove the kidnaping was an "inside job.” Thumb-guard manufacturer Maish, business-like and wholly at ease, came all the way from Wyoming. 0., to testify for 10 minutes. In that 10 minutes, he said he manufactured the Baby Alice” thumbguard used by Mrs. Lindbergh. ‘‘lt will not rust,” he declared, "even when it is exposed to the elements. It might get a little tarnished, but it won’t rust.” Fisch Family Hidden Mr. Reilly tried to shake his testimony by inquiring whether he had ever made scientific tests with its metal. Mr. Maish said he had had a ring of the metal that refused to rust and that no thumb-guards manufactured by the Baby Alice Cos. would rust. Then Mr. Reilly dropped the subject.

The status of the Fisch family, newly arrived from Germany in the company of detective Arthur Johnson, agitated both sides today, although Mr. Wilentz said the German witnesses would not be used unless the Hauptmann defense tries to pin the crime on Isidor Fisch. The utmost precautions W’ere taken to guard them. ‘‘They will be taken to a safe place,” said Mr. Wilentz, "and where that place is, is nobody’s business. They will be kept away from the press.” Strikes at Defense * It is therefore unlikely that the name of the dead man will be brought—except indirectly—into the trial until after Bruno Richard Hauptmann goes on the stand and declares his former friend was the man from whom he received the ransom money. When that happens, the entire friendship, the intimate personal life, the habits, customs, lendings and borrowings, the quarrels and jealousies of Bruno Hauptmann’s small group of Yorkville and Bronx companions will be dragged into the light. Th" prosecution says that when that happens, the name of the man now lying in a grave in Germany, Will be cleared.

Four Closely Guarded Bu t il it< il Press NEW YORK. Jan. 16. —Four witnesses brought from Germany to testify against Bruno Richard Hauptmann were guarded so closely by police today that outsiders could not approach within 20 feet of their hotel rooms. They will be used by the prosecution to attack Hauptmann's expected alibi—that he obtained the ransom money found in his possession from Isidor Fiseh. dead German i furrier. They were esti Wished in the Half Moon Hotel at Corey Island and will not be called until after Hauptmann tells his story. They are Pincus Fisch. Isiuor's brother; Hannah, his sister; Mrs. Czerna Fisch. Pincus’ wife, and Minna Steignitz, nurse who attended Fisch during his fatal illness. They will testify that Fisch died penniless.

Driving Fire Truck May Be Thrill to Some, But It’s Pain in Neck to Adkins

BY TIPTON BLISH Time* Staff Writer THE driver's seat of a fire truck may be more impressive than a throne to most young boys of Indianapolis but it is too remote from the scene of action for Clifford Adkins of Pumper Company 8. On the recommendation of Fire Chief Fred C. Kennedy, the Safety Board yesterday reduced Mr. Adkins from the rank of chauffeur, which he had held since Jan. 1, to his former position as first grade private. The board members arched their eyebrows well into their hair in amazement when Chief Kennedy explained that this had been asked by Mr. Adkins himself Because he had not found the life of a fire-truck driver thrilling enough for his tastes. When they were told that this would mean a pay reduction of 18 cents a day for the homesick smoke-eater, the Safety Commissioners were too dumbfounded to do anything but grant the unprecedented request. Mr. Adkins told The Indianapolis Times, when asked for an explanation of his strange conduct, that he had never been so bored in his eight years in the department as he had been in the 15 days of his new job. an a “ A CHAUFFEUR has to stay on l \ the truck all through a fire,” Mr. Adkins explained, “and you get lonely staying there by yourself when all the other boys from the squad are inside fighting the flames. Sometimes at a

FARMERS BACK PLEAS OF FLYING HUNTERS Applications for Licenses Supported by Agrarians. By United Press COOPERSTOWN, N. D„ Jan. 16. —North Dakota’s only aviator-game hunters have received backing from a delegation of Griggs County farmers in protest against the State Game and Fish Department's ban on airplane hunting. Applications of Bruce Wright j and Alonzo Rhodes for airplane hunting licenses were refused on the grounds that such hunting endangers the lives of humans and domestic animals.

big fire a chauffeur will have to park his truck two or three blocks away from the building and twiddle his thumbs until the boys come back and tell him what the fire was all about. You can’t get any kick out of that. "I know all kids are supposed to hope they will grow up to be fire engine drivers. I guess I did once, because I used to love to hang around the engine houses when I was a boy.

7 Women’s Groups Back Child Labor Amendment Organizations to Figm Union of Child Welfare With Institutional Administration in State. Seven leading women's organizations in the state have joined forces to work for the adoption of the Federal Child Labor Amendment by this session of the General Assembly. These organizations have announced that they will fight any bill which will combine child welfare with administrative agencies dealing with penal institutions, old-age pensions, jails, infirmaries and asylums.

Mrs. J. W. Moore, legislative chairman of the Indiana Federation of Clubs, is the chairman of the Central Legislative Committee. Other members of this committee which will act for the organizations are: Mrs. James L. Murray, legislitive chairman of the Indiana Congress of Parents and Teachers; Mrs. R. E. Adkins, Y. W. C.

In addition to actual lobbying at the session, the chairman of some of these organizations are reporting back by letter to their district and county organizations all movements affecting child welfare, schools, libraries, child labor and related legislation. They will take definite stands on all bills of this sort introduced in this session, Mrs. Moore said.

autos I gave it up. Maybe I was getting too old then, any way.” Mr. Adkins said he believed most new men in the department looked forward to the day when they might drive a truck, but for them he predicted nothing but disillusion. ‘•lt's just like driving any other car after you have done it a while,” he said. “It may look thrilling to the man on the street, but for action give me the work right in the flames. I'm getting a ribbing for doing this, but I can take it.’ n n a MR. ADKINS, who is 30 and lives with his wife and 12-year-old daughter at 1222 W. 31stst, said that he had not asked their advice on the subject of his reduction. He said, however, that he sure they would see his point. His point w’as seen and appreciated by Battalion Chief Robert L. Sims who celebrated the 33rd anniversary of the beginning of his service with the department Monday. Chief Sims, who said he had been in every big fire in Indianapolis in the last three decades, remembers well the days when he held the reins of the powerful horses that so delighted the youth of an earlier day. "I liked it,” Chief Sims said, “but now that I have done every kind of fire fighting I would rather be in where there is action. It’s more fun, it makes you feel better and there is nothing like it to keep you young and full of life.”

By United Press GENEVA, Jan. 16.—A tentative formula for turning over the Saar to Germany on March 1 was understood tonight to have been reached by members of the League of Nations Council. Concern had been caused when the council postponed its expected session at which it had planned to vote the Saar to Germany, without fixing the exact date. Council members, in private talks, drew up the proposed formula for solution of the difficulty. M’NUTT TAX BOARD IS ATTACKED BY MURRAY State Civic League Head Urges Study of Proposals. Gov. Paul V. McNutt’s Tax Revision Commission was packed in the interests of tax spenders, it was charged today by Frank J. Murray, Indiana League of Civic Associations president. In letters to every member of the Seventy-ninth General Assembly, Mr. Murray cautioned the legislators to look “into the background and actual record” of the committee before taking too seriously the committee's report, expected at an early date. Mr. Murray attacked the action of the commission in once voting to recommend referendum votes on tax levies in excess of the statutory restrictions of $1 and $1.50, and then reversing itself after hearing the Governor’s message. 1500 HUNTERS CAPTURE SEVEN IN DRIVE Captured Without Weapons, Beasts Auctioned Off for S6B.

RACE BET BILL TO COVER DOG RACJNGURGED Southern Legislators Seek Change in Pari-Mutuel Measure. < A group of delegates from southern Indiana counties will attempt to amend the pari-mutuel betting bill, introduced yesterday in the House of Representatives as H. B. 43, to include betting on dog races. The measure in its present form does not allow betting on any race run on any track less than one mile in length. This excludes greyhound racing. Rep. Floyd L. Raush <D., Lawrenceburg), will ask the Public Morals Committee to report the bill back to the House with an amendment to include all forms of dog and horse racing. He, together with a group of Representatives, feels that the bill, as now drawn, will limit racing to Marion County alone, as no one will go to the expense of building horse racing parks in counties near Cincinnati and Louisville. Rep. Roush estimated that if dog racing is legalized, there will be at least 10 dog tracks in the state, and the Government will collect at least $400,000 a year in taxes. “Under the present form of the bill,” he said, “the only county that will have any racing of any kind will be Marion County. The competition from outside tracks will be too great for operators to build horse tracks in other parts of the state.” If the Public Morals Committee reports the bill back to the House without the amendment, the southern representatives will attempt to amend the bill from the floor.

MINE SAFETY SOUGHT IN SENATE MEASURE Dennigan Bill Requires Expert in Setting Off Blasts.

Nestor Lemaire, Master Fencer, Friend of Kings, Dies in Charity Ward

Belgian Carries Secrets of Romantic, Tragic Life to Grave Here. BY TRISTRAM COFFIN Times Staff Writer Nestor Lemaire, acknowledged as one qf the world's greatest swordsmen, died here last night, a charity patient at City Hospital, far from the Belgian court of which he was once a leading figure. With him died also closelyguarded secrets of a romantic and tragic life spent for the most part in high diplomatic and social circles of Europe. In his humble home at 209 E. Minnesota-st are the faded and outworn remnants of a heroic age, dueling swords and masks and medals awarded by the French and Belgian governments for valorous service. At 75, Mr. Lemaire was a distinguished and aristocratic figure who up to the time of his illness two weeks ago gave fencing lessons to a few loyal pupils. His life is even somewhat of a mystery to his wife, Mrs. Binchen Lemaire, herself related to Count of Flanders, father of the late King Albert of Belgium. “My husband spurned any mention of the honors he won in Europe and never told me why he was awarded medals,” she said. “I do not think he would want anything mentioned of them now.”

Left Europe Suddenly They were married in 1913 after Mr. Lemaire came to this country. Whether they met in the Belgium court and u'ere married later when Mr. Lemaire came to this country, his wife would not say. When a reporter for Colliers’ Magazine, who came to interview Mr. Lemaire for an article which appeared three years ago in that periodical, asked questions too pertinent to his past life, Mr. Lemaire ordered the reporter to leave. A few straggling facts of his proud and tragic life are available. He was born Feb. 26, 1860, at Vevrien, Belgium. He became a lieutenant in the Belgian army and fenced often with the Count of Flanders. He taught cadets in both the French and Belgt&n armies. He suddenly left Europe, became married and came to Indianapolis, where he earned his livelihood by teaching fencing at his own'salon and at a local athletic club.

Fought in Longest Duel Mr. Lemaire fought the longest fencing match on record in this country, at Providence, R. 1., under police surveillance. He and an Englishman fenced for six and one-half hours with tack-point ends on the buttons of their foils. He taught fencing at Wabash College and Purdue University and refereed Big Ten fencing bouts. When he first arrived in this country, Mr. Lemaire gave fencing exhibitions in old Madison Square Garden. During the war, Mr. Lemaire was an organizer of the Governor’s Guards and, later, taught Indiana National Guard members fencing. Last night friends of Mr. Lemaire, shocked by his death, came to the home to console the widow. Funeral services will be held at 10 Friday morning at the G. H. Hermann funeral home, 1505 S. East-st. Burial will be in Crown Hill. Free Supplies Urged Justices of the Peace in secondclass cities would have telephones, furniture, fixtures, postage and supplies furnished without expense to them under terms of a House bill introduced today by Reps. Allen C. Lomont (D., Ft. Wayne) and Marion P. Morgan (D., Dixon). The supplies would be furnished by trustees.

ANTI-NAZIS GO INTO HIDING IN JUBILANT SAAR Communists, Socialists and Jews to Carry Fight to League. By United Press SAARBRUCKEN. Jan. 16—Communist and Socialist leaders in the Saar prepared to go into hiding today and Jews were closing out their business interests in fear of Nazi rearisals. Franc? awaued the beginning of a mass exodus of anti-Nazis, including thousands who already were refugees from Germany, as Saarlanders continued to celebrate their prospective reunion with the Fatherland. Although organized Nazis were held in rigid_ discipline by their leaders, there "were incidents of individual terrorism and all antiNazis in the Saar were nervous. All was quiet today and Saarlanders went back to work. Many Jewish merchants who boarded up their shops yesterday reopened them. Police said there was not a single case of a Jew suffering from persecution. Nevertheless, more Jews left by train today, seeking new homes in southern France where they can live on farmlands as tenants. Max Braun, Socialist leader, as he prepared to leave for Geneva to plane the anti-Nazi case before the League of Nations Council, pledged that he would return and continue, with Fritz pfordt. Communist leader, the fight against Naziism. Braun said that the men in the field would operate in the Saar from hiding places. As for himself, he said: “I am a Saarlander and I shall stay in the Saar. I am going to Geneva, but I shall return as soon as possible. 'We have not dropped our fighi; we will fight on.”

NOTES TO LEGISLATORS RAP EMPLOYED WIVES Legislation Demanded Would Be Illegal, Senator Says. Letters demanding legislation to prevent married women whose husbands have jobs from engaging in gainful occupations are deluging members of both the House and Senate. “There’s only one thing wrong with such a move,” said Senator Chester K. Watson (D., Ft. Wayne), a recipient of cne of the letters. “It would be unconstitutional. We might introduce a bill, just as a formality, but it could not pass and I am not in favor of wasting the time of the Assembly.’ Brick Shatters Truck Window John Hogue, 1102 E.
