CHAPTER ONE r r*llE girl’s shoulders straightened as she followed the officer into the police station. Several men sat about the big, bare room, their chairs tilted back against the wall; some smoking. some dozing. The officer behind the desk picked up his pen and looked down at her from beneath shaggy eyebrows. “What’s the charge, Fogarty?” “Car parked for more'n two hours on Prospect near 9oth, just beyond the jewelry store. I was a block back on a side street when the scout car rame on that burglary alarm |hat had come in from Rosenbaum’s jewelry store, and we saw a fellow beaten’ it around the comer. When we got

there, the car was more’n a block away. “He tried to lose its. but we kept the car in sight and it stopped in kront of the apartment where this girl lives. We found some of the loot there, but the fellow got away. When the girl came home, we grabbed her. Claims she doesn’t know anything about the stuff.” Jingo's hands were clasped tight on the handle of the red purse. ‘Burglary alarm—Rosenbaum's jewelry store," she was repeating under her breath. • “Burglary alarm*-" “Well, young lady—" “I tell you I didn't know those things " pointing at the Jewels in Fogarty's hands— were in my apartment. Somebody planted 'em there.” Fogarty scratched his head for a moment. “And who do ye suppose would be likely to plant something in your apartment?” The girl paled but shook her' fiend. “What Is vour name?" asked the i man at the desk. “Jtngo—" “What?” sharply. A man in a gray tweed suit and soft felt hat had come to her side, and Jingo looked up into kind, gray eyes. "What is your name, sister?” the ofliepr repeated. “Everyone calls me Jingo.” The man with the gray eyes spoke. Hi 5 voice was soft and low. “But they want jour full name, lassie. Mine is Robert Laird. What is yours?” Jingo turned back to the officer at the desk. “Jessica Carter " His pen scratched across the page. • And your address?" She told him. the words snapping from her lips She supplied the other information asked for. Her parent* were dead. She had no relatives. She was not employed at the present time. Her father had left her a little money—she was looking for work. She lived in a ••mall apartment she had shared with her father before his death. ' And so you were living alone in that apartment? How does it happen the door was unlocked? Next time —" He was interrupted by another who oent over him. whispering. They conversed for a moment and then the lieutenant was looking down at her. his eyes narrowed. “What was your father's name, sister?" Jingo did not answer for a moment. Her hands were clenched tight. The man with the gray eves placed his hands on her arm. “Tell them, lassie.” The gent’e voice and the warm pressure of his hand seemed to give the girl eourage. She looked up at the officer at the desk and spoke clearly, distinctly: “My father—was Tom Carter!" "Hmmmm." Again the pen was scratching across the page. A chair across the room thudded to the floor. “It's all right, lassie.” said Robert Laird, patrng her shoulder. He went to the water cooler and brought her a glass of water. Then he talked in low tones to the men at the desk. They listened to him. Jingo watched, waited. If only Harry Barnes would come. She needed him and he had always come when she needed him before. Harry had loved her since she was a child: had been good to her. He had said just last night as his arm tightened abou* her shoulders: “Nothing can happen to you, baby " In the two years since her father died. Harry was all she had had in the world.

WILEY POST FAILS IN STRATOSPHERE HOP; FORCED DOWN Famed Oklahoma Globe-Girdler Lands Winnie Mae on Dry Bed of Muroc Lake, 100 Miles From Los Angeles. HOPED TO REACH EAST IN 7 HOURS Propeller Trouble Believed Cause of Flight’s End; Planes Leave Promptly to Lend Aid to Aviator. By L nit'4 Prsi LOS ANGELES, Feb. 22.—The attempt of Wiley Post, veteran Oklahoma flier, to send his famed Winnie Mae across the continent in seven hours ended on the dry bed of Muroc I>ake today, just a little more than 100 miles from. Los Angeles, his takeoff point. The round-the-world pilot telegraphed Lockheed Aircraft officials here that he was uninjured and that his plane was only slightly damaged although he was forced to land

on belly skids, having dropped his regular landing gear at , his takeoff. “Am down at Muroc Lake,” his wire said. “No damage except bent propeller. You can land alongside with ease.” Muroc Lake apparently was an ideal landing spot for Post. Its dry, smooth bed frequently has been the scene of automobile and motorcycle speed trials. Planes left here immediately for the lake. No Reason Is Given Although Post's wire listed no reason for the sudden conclusion of his proposed flight through the stratosphere to New York, it was believed likely that propellor trouble had forced him down. All other parts of the aged Winnie Mae. twice a globe-circler, had been tested thoroughly before Post took off at dawn this morning. The propellor was designed especially for Post's plan of landing in New York on beliy skids. The theory of its operation was that it could be stopped with its blades horizontal to the ground. This was to prevent the propellor from scraping as he landed. Post could not be reached immediately for further details. Having returned to his ship after sending the telegram advising he was down. Hoped to Set Record The one-eyed flier had hoped to reach New York in seven hours. He planned to fly at an elevation of 35.000 feet, where he would find greatly reduced resistance. He expected a tail wind to help speed his journey and the dropping of the landing gear immediately after the take-off was for the same purpose. The new assault on the transcontinental record came only a day after Leland S. Andrews. American Air Lines pilot, raced from Los Angeles to New York in 11 hours 34 minutes 16 seconds, clipping 24 minutes 16 seconds off the old transport plane record.

A public hearing on proposed amendments to the State-NRA law, originally scheduled for tonight, has been postponed until 7:30 Monday night, it was announced today by Senator Frederick F.

Meanwhile senatorial spokesmen for the administration appeared determined to await outcome of the hearing before reaching a decision on amendments to make the measure satisfactory to industry and labor. The Better Business Bureau today issued an attack against the pending State-NRA bill.

Importer Section of New Liquor Bill Under A Hack Bitter Opposition Voiced to Alleged Monopoly Clause; House Morals Committee to Probe. The administration liquor control bill faced additional bitter opposition today when it was disclosed that phrases of the measure had been interpreted to create a monopoly for the importation of hard liquors. Meanwhile the House Morals Committee planned to meet tonight at the Indianapolis Athletic Club in executive session to study provisions of the bill.

At the same time it was reported that Rep. Lenhardt Bauer (D., Terre Haute), committee member, had prepared either anew control bill or important amendments for consideration at the meeting tonight. According to critics of the wholesale liquor dealers' section of the measure. importation authority would be confined to a relatively few distillers, who would possess sole authority to sell products to licensed wholesalers. The bill, in its present form, gives the proposed liquor commission, authority to issue a distiller’s license to any concern, but under no conditions could a whisky importer license be granted unless the licensee held a Federal distillers permit. All sales of alcoholic beverages in the state would be confined to Indiana brew; ries and distilleries, as the law now stands. Out-of-state interests co 44 not operate as sales-

Probe of Legal Printing Graft Charges Turns to Countg Auditor’s Office Commissioners to Quiz Grossart’s Deputy on Approval of $2827 Statement in 1933; Other Publishing Expenses Also Are Studied. BY DICK MILLER rimes Staff Writer Marion County Commissioners, investigating payment by the county of fees for advertising delinquent tax sales in the last three years, when it was illegal to hold such sales, turned their attention today to the County Auditor’s office. Three-term County Auditor Charles Grossart, however, was not available to explain why his office had ordered the advertisements at a cost of $15,932.10 to the county, $11,790.40 of which was paid to The Indianapolis Commercial Publishing Cos., publishers of a journal of legal news.

Mr. Grossart took office for his third term Jan. 1, and on Jan. 16, left for Florida where he has spent the 37 days since then. But the commissioners intend to ask Fabian W. Biemer, Chief Deputy Auditor, why his office in 1933 approved a statement from the Commercial for $2827.70 for publishing 12,759 items, and at the same time aproved a statement from The Indianapolis News for only $440.80 for the identical service rendered by the Commercial. That year,, the Legislature declared a moratorium on such sales and the News billed the county only for the cost of labor of setting the notices into type. They never were published in either paper. Nevertheless, the Commercial billed the county for $3827.70, or 30 cents an item if they were published three times according to law. SIOOO Deducted, Rest Paid The sum of SIOOO was deducted from that total, the remainder paid. The auditor’s office approved both statements, and, on the auditor’s recommendation, the county commissioners approved them for pay- . ment. The next year, the auditor ordered published in the Commercial and the Indianapolis Star, 12,118 items of property for sale to collect 1932 delinquent taxes. The sale was advertised for Feb. 12. These items were run twice in each paper before Superior Judge William Pickens found that Feb. 12 annually is Lincoln's birthday anniversary and a legal holiday, and, as such, a day on which no contract is binding. He ordered the sale off. The auditor’s office had picked the sale date. Both Paid in Full However, in spite of the fact that the notices were run but twice, each newspaper was paid $3700.90, the price at 30 cents an item for three insertions, and there was no refund. This year, the auditor’s office ordered the Commercial to publish the advertisements, and Jan. 12, Mark Gray, Commercial editor, presented a statement to the auditor for 14.172 items, at 30 cents eaeft, totaling $4261.80. This was approved that day by Mr. Grossart and presented to County Commissioners John Newhouse and Dow Vorhies for approval. They approved it. Ernest Marker, third commissioner, was ill. * Then, Jan. 16, Mr. Biemer, personally, according to Mr. Newhouse, ordered the auditor’s office to issue the check, and, according to Mr. Newhouse, it was cleared that day through the bank. Refund Check Refused On that day also, Mr. Grossart left for Florida. On the day before the Legislature had passed a law making such sales illegal. On the day after the check was cashed and Mr. Grossart left for Florida, Gov. Paul V. McNutt signed the bill and made the law effective. Twenty-three days later, Mr. Gray attached to the statement that already had been paid a sheaf of proofs of the items set in preparation to publication. Whereas he had been paid for 14,172 items county commisisoner could find but 10.870. Mr. pray tendered the commissioners a check for SIO6O 80, the difference. The commissioners have refused to accept that in settlement of the matter.

METHODISTS BEFEND MEXICO CHURCH LAW Catholic Agitation Rapped by Mission Board. By United Press NEW YORK, Feb. 22.—The Methodist Episcopal Church foreign policy was aligned against Catholic Church agitation in the Mexican situation today. The Board of Foreign Missions Executive Committee expressed sympathy with Mexico’s revolutionary party regime. The Mexican government’s restriction upon the Catholic Church has aroused American Catholic organizations. “When the American people come fully to realize the significance of the Mexican revolution,” a resolution said, “they will at once feel a deep sympathy with the masses of the Mexican people in their struggle upward against the three-'old tyranny of landed aristocracy, foreign interests and dominant state church. These forces have always been to the fore in opposing reforms in Mexico.” BOY SWALLOWS NAIL: OPERATION ORDERED Enters Youth’s Mouth as He Watches Wrecking of Building.

Work Relief Wage Fight Is Won by Senate Rebels Insurgents Override Roosevelt, Vote Prevailing Pay Scale Into Bill; Veto Is Held Likely. By United Press / V ASHINGTON, Feb. 22.—Labor’s victory over the Administration on the prevailing wage issue opened the door today to possible drastic changes in the $4.880,000i)00 work relief plan and .n other vital phases of the New-Deal's recovery prografh.

One report, lacking authetic confirmation, was that the Administration’s reversal in the Senate late yesterday would cause substitution of the'“dole” for the contemplated policy of putting the unemployed on work projects. The margin of victory for the forces of oi*ganizel labor was only one vote, 44 to 43, but it threw Administration leaders into confusion and left them uncertain as to their next move.

Measure Restoring Governor and U. S. Senator to Party Ballot Is Bitterly Opposed By State Executive’s Followers. LONG-AWAITED TEST IS DUE MONDAY National Legislator’s Supporters Claim Loyal Bloc of 18 in Upper House; Both Sides Busy Lining Up Votes. BY JAMES DOSS Times Staff Writer A political volcano that has the possibilities of assuming major proportions is rumbling in the Indiana Senate and may split the ranks of the Democratic majority. The wedge is the Albright primary bill which provides for placing back in the direct primary the nomination of the Governor and United States Senator, and which is supported by the VanNuys followers. However, the real issue back of the bill is the test of political strength between Gov. Paul V. McNutt and United

KENNAMER IS FOUNDGUILTY Federal Judge’s Son Faces 4 to 99-Year Term for Manslaughter. By United Press PAWNEE. Okla., Feb. 22.—Phil Kennarr. _r, 19, son of a Federal district judge, seemed pleased today with a jury verdict that found him guilty of manslaughter. Kennamer killed John F. Gorrell Jr., 23, in Tulsa last Thanksgiving. Kennamer will be sentenced tomorrow. He faces four to 99 years imprisonment, at the discretion of Judge Thurman Hurst. The state will recommend a 50-year sentence. A jury of farmers and townsmen found Kennamer guilty of manslaughter last night after nine hours deliberating. The verdict patently was a compromise. The jury could have found him guilty of first degree mufder carrying either a death penalty or life imprisonment. Kennamer seemed joyful in the little sandstone county jail today as he discussed the trial with fellow prisoners, several of whom have been sentenced in the past by his father, Federal Judge Franklin E. Kennamer, whose stern treatment of law violators has made him well known. Last night when the jury returned its verdict, Young Kennamer clapped his father on the back and received the condolences of friends with broad smiles. A. Flint Moss, chief defense attorney, will file motion for anew trial and also start appeal steps when Kennamer is sentenced. CATTLE MEN TO CONFER Representatives of Industry to Discuss Farm Act in Meeting. By United Press WASHINGTON, Feb. 22. AAA Administrator Chester C. Davis today invited representatives of the cattle industry to a conference here Feb. 27-28 to discuss their y’-oblems and proposed amendments to the farm act? Among those invited was Maurice E. Douglas of Flat Rock, Ind.

It also cast a doubt upon the future of such legislation as NRA extension, wanted by the Administration, the Wagner labor disputes bill and the 30-hour week bill, both of which have the backing o% the American Federation of Labor, but lack White House support. There was also the extremely important question of getting money for reilef purposes. The long-drawn-out Senate controversy over the $4,880,000,000 bill—it passed the House Jan. 24 and has been tied up in the Senate ever since—already has necessitated makeshift arrangements for obtaining relief funds. It is a Senate tradition that no amendment adopted by a margin of one vote ever found its way into the final form of enactment. There still remained the hope that the prevailing wage amendment might be discarded when House and Senate conferees get together to draft the completed relief bill. If the prevailing wage amendment survived this test it would meet a presidential veto. This would shift to Congress the responsibility for delaying relief appropriations at a time when they are considered a vital necessity.

HOME EDITION V PRICE THREE CENTS

Nuys. The VanNuys bloc in the State Senate is claimed to be 18 strong - . It would have to muster half of the minority and swing over a few “on-the-fence” Senators to pass the primary bill. This test may come Monday. Pressure is being exerted both ways. The VanNuys adherents are trying assiduously to line up enough pledges to pass the bill and the McNutt administration leaders are! trying to defeat it. Test of Strength Awaited The bill was reported the subject of special attenion by the so-called “personal comrr.itee” of six Senators to whom Pleas Greenlee, the administration's political field marshal, has intrusted the task of defeating it. Originally, the bill called for placing back in the primary all state officials including the Supreme and Appellate Court judges. Languishing in the Elections Committee, bill is reported now, after amendment in committee, to provide only for the primary selection of the Governor and United States Senator. It is scheduled to come to the Senate floor with a majority report for passage and a minority report for indefinite postponement. The action on the committee report is expected to be the first test of strength between the administration leaders and the Van Nuys faction. Committee Sessions Avoided The Elections Committee meetings have been regarded so strongly as “heat sessions” that several members looked upon as strong administration men have “ducked” them. This obvious effort to have as little as possible connection with the bill once provoked Senator Swihart, the committee chairman, to demand that Senate President M. Clifford Townsend enforce attendance at the committee hearings. If the McNutt-VanNuys embroglio comes to a test on the primary bill as scheduled, the fight will be the climax of a political variance that has been brewing for months. The administration advisers and the VanNuys faction come to an open rupture in the Democratic state convention which nominated United States Senator Sherman Minton, the Administration choice. Then came t'-* Washington battle over the ' stion of Federal patronage in which the Senator VanNuys won a technical victory. Pending is the question of which Senator is going to name the United States marshal here. The position will be vacated this month by Alf Meloy, Republican. Senator VanNuys has named Lee Bays, former Sullivan County chairman and anti-McNutt Democrat. Senator Minton has named Richard (Little Dick> Werneke, Terre Haute political boss. VanNuys Bolts Roosevelt Added to this Indiana picture is the fact that Senator VanNuys yesterday went against the Roosevelt program by voting for the prevailing wage scales for relief work. Senator Minton went along with the national Administration. The underlying importance of the primary bill in Indiana is obvious, according to political observers. At stake primarily is the next gubernatorial nomination. Os course Gov. McNutt can not succeed himself because of constitutional bars, but the McNutt machine wants to maintain control. The VanNuys faction wants to get control. RACING BILL OPPOSED BY BUSINESS GROUP Twelve Meet at Y. M. C. A. to Map Campaign on Pari-Mutuels. Twelve business men who claim to represent a majority of the business interests in Indianapolis gathered this noon in the Y. M. C. A. to map a campaign of vigorous protest against the pari-mutuel bill now before the Legislature. They met at the call of Ernest N. Evans, secretary of the Church Federation of Indianapolis.
