MASON, DEAN IDENTIFIED BY TAXI DRIVERS Suspects Were in Holdup Gang That Kidnaped Them, Jury Told. Trial of William cWillie) Mason and Edward (Foggy) Dean, charged with inflicting physical injury during the commission of a robbery, rtood adjourned today in Criminal Court until Tuesday morning. Two witnesses yesterday identified Mason and Dean as two of five gunmen who commandeered a taxicab at 17th-st and Carrollton-av a few minutes after a garage holdup in which Police Sergt Lester Jones was killed Feb. 7, 1933. Harold Butts, former taxicab mechanic, identified Mason, and Paul Luthmers, taxi foreman, said that Dean was the driver of the commandeered car. Tells of Threat by Bandits “If you squawk to police, we might be back later,’’ Butts quoted the gunmen as saying. Mason and Dean both smiled broadly when defense attorney Clyde P. Miller questioned Miss Alberta Akers, 19. former Negro maid in the Dean home, as to whether Dean wore a mustache a few days before the Peoples Motor Coach Cos. garage stickup. Dean now wears a mustache, and state's witnesses have testified that all of the gunmen were smooth shaven. Didn’t Notice Clothes In reply to Mr. Miller’s accusation that police officers had visited jurors in a previous Dean trial, Special Judge William H. Remy ordered jurors to report any visits by interested persons. Butts testified that he was forced to lie in the bottom of the cab, and that Mason sat immediately above him on the seat. Three others, now serving life terms in the Indiana State Prison, also were in the rear seat Mr. Butts said. Asked if he could recall the color of the bandits’ clothing, Mr. Butts replied, “I didn’t have any time to watch that. I was too busy thinking of how to get away.” Dean stared intently at the witness when Paul Luthmers, 1704 Car-rollton-av, taxi foreman, identified the alleged machine gun bandit as one of five men who kidnaped him and Butts a few hours after the garage holdup Given S2O ‘for Trouble’ “Dean put a machine gun on me, traded his felt hat for my taxi cap and climbed under the wheel,” Luthmers testified. The taxi was driven through the city to the Post and Brookville-rds in front of an old school house, where the bandits alighted, Luthmers said. Before ordering the two taxi men to drive back to the city, one of the bandits handed Luthmer a S2O bill “for his trouble,” the witness said. W E. Graham, Franklin (O.) marshal, identified three guns, alleged to have been used in the holdup, as those stolen from the Franklin police department, Jan. 29, 1933.

By Z'ntted Press SEATTLE, Nov. 9—The Navy supply ship Sirius, bringing a $1,800,000 cargo of sealskins back from the Pribilof Islands of the Bering Sea, also brought with it five live seals for Balboa Park Zoo, San Diego, this year.

The seal pelts, taken under supervision of the United States government, were shipped to St. Louis for processing and sale. Receipts will be divided among the governments of the United States, Great Britain and Japan, the American share much the largest.

By United Press HONOLULU, Nov. 9.—Approximately 300,000,000 cans of various sizes will be manufactured here this year by American Can Cos. to pack the 1935 Hawaiian pineapple crop. The local can factory is the second largest of its kind in the United States, and holds the record for producing the largest number of cans for a single product. Ideal weather conditions plus a growing consumption of canned pineapple juice by Americans promises to make 1935 a banner year for the pineapple industry, Hawaiia’s second largest industry. If all the cans for this year’s crop were placed side by side they would cover a distance of 18.939.4 miles. The average width of the can tops is four inches.
COURT VICTORY ROUSES HOPES OF STEPHENSON Ex-Klan Leader Is Cheered as Judge Overrules State's Plea. Times Special MICHIGAN CITY. Ind.. Nov 9 D. C. Stephenson, former klan leader, serving a life sentence for murder in the state prison here, today was buoyed by the first major court victory' that has come to him in his 10-year fight for freedom. Several legal hurdles still stand m his path, but the action of Judge Wirt Worden in La Porte Circuit Court yesterday in denying the state's motion to quash his petition for a writ of habeas corpus is viewed by Stephenson as a good omen. Judge Worden ordered the state to file an answer to Stephenson’s petition by Nov. 15. Unexpectedly called to the courtroom, the famous prisoner was jubilant over the ruling but declined to comment. Other Proceedings Failed Nearly a score of other legal proceedings taken since he was convicted in the spring of 1925 in the slaying’ of Miss Madge Oberholtzer, Indianapolis, had failed. State's motion to quash in the present proceedings had been based on the contention that all questions in Stephenson’s petition, challenging validity of transferring his trial from Marion County, had been ruled on by high state courts. Judge Worden held it was not a question of constitutionality of the change of venue law but rather a question of constitutionality of the processes through which Stephenson had been convicted. Further Hearings Necessary The ruling opens the way for further hearings at which Stephenson is expected to elaborate on charges he was the victim of a conspiracy among Republican and klan leaders and others prominent a decade ago in Indiana politics. Stephenson was represented at yesterday’s hearing by Mayor Alban M. Smith of La Porte and T. Ernest Maholm, Indianapolis. Atty. Gen. Philip Lutz Jr. and J. Edward Barce, his deputy, represented the state.

Hunters’ Haven B B B BBS Families to Be Moved From Worthless Martin County Lands in Resettlement Program.
' I "HE impoverished hulls of Martin County soon are to become a haven ■*- for the hunter and fisherman, through one of the largest rural rehabilitation projects in the United States. The plan for taking 30.000 acres out of sub-marginal production was outlined by James Pendry. of the Rural Resettlement Administration, recently before the directors of state projects at their weekly luncheon at the Washington.
Work of taking families off the land which only gives them a bare existence is to start immediately. Mr. Pendry said. One thousand three hundred men will be employed In the land cleanng. He pointed out a two-fold purpose in the project: It not only will take inhabitants off relief but will solve the land-use problem. This land is hilly and badly eroded. Families live far apart and, in several instances, oneroom country schools have to be maintained for only two pupils. In all 12 schools are to be eliminated and the children transferred to consolidated buildings. Expense of this antiquated system of education was stressed by Mr. Pendry. He quoted figures to show that 85 per cent of the cost already was borne by the other 91 counties in Indiana. tt n a IN clearing the land, many roads are to be eliminated, and others are to be improved to make streams and forests accessible. Population figures for the county in the last 10 years show it has increased 500 per cent, due to unemployed persons moving from cities. Officials say the land is not fertile enough to maintain the added burden. Farms owned by these residents are being bought up at an average cost of $8.25 an acre, Mr. Pendry said. Os the 100 families to be moved, 25 will not receive enough to buy another place to live. They will be resettled on farms by the government where they can pay for them over a 45-year period. .Sev-enty-five families will be able to make anew start from the sale of their property. The resettlement administration has contracted with the Stater Conservation Department whereby it is to take over the 30.000 acres, stock it with fish and game and reforest the worn-out land.
He was a member of Council No. 437. Knights of Columbus. Survivors are two brothers, William A. Page of Indianapolis and John J. Page of St. Louis, Mo.; a sister, Miss Anna C. Page, and an aunt. Miss Sally Maloney, also of Indianapolis. Services for Daniel Pugh Funeral services for Daniel Pugh, 86, were to be held this afternoon at the home, 244 N. Hamilton-av. Burial was to be in Memorial Park Cemetery. Born in Wales, Mr. Pugh came to Indianapolis 40 years ago. For many years he was foreman of the Indianapolis car department shops of the Pennsylvania Railroad. He was a member of Christ Episcopal Church and the Marion Lodge, F. & A. M. He is survived by a son, John Pugh. ARCTIC BASIN TO BE EXPLORED BY RUSSIANS Wooden Ships Will Drift With Ice Fields, Is Plan. By Science Service LENINGRAD, Nov. 9.—An extra strong wooden ship, whose ultimate duty will be to become frozen in Arctic ice and drift with the ice fields into high latitudes, is to be completed early in 1937, Prof. Wiese, Soviet explorer has announced.

NO ONE SEEMS TO CARE ABOUT CODEJHEARINGS Few Men Sit Around Table and Read Documents — And That's About All. BY HERBERT LITTIL Times Staff Writer WASHINGTON. Nov. 9.—Nobody seems to care, in the code hearings NRA is holding now. The three voluntary code hearings so far conducted have been listless, formal and dreary, in contrast with the exciting start two years ago of Gen. Johnson’s big drive. A few men sit around a table and read documents aloud. Bespectacled Ear e W. Dahlberg presides. A stocky man, bereft of the holy zeal to end the depression that marked industry's men in 1933, offers a code—covering the 847 employes of the “expanding and specialty paper products industry.” (They make expanding filefolders and such devices.) Copy of Provisions This is just a copy of the labor provisions of the old NRA code, it is explained. The industry representative is asked a few questions about the industry. He doesn’t know very much about the details. Twelve companies making up 80 per cent of the mil-lion-dollar-a-vear production are sponsoring the code. No one is on hand to represent the 29 other companies in the industry. They have made no protest. Labor is not on hand. More than four-fifths of the employes are women, and apparently they are not organized. The NRA Labor Advisory Board man, a young economist, reads his board’s objection to voluntary codes, based on a belief that they can not be enforced. Bristle a Little The industry's man bristles just a little. Let the Labor Advisory Board draft a code that can be enforced, and the industry will accept it, he says. The young economist, recalling the Scheehter decision, laughs. There is a demand for statistics of pay rolls, but the Industry has nothing in that line. Exhibits are introduced, after the section-by-section reading is completed. One of them is from a Detroit manufacturer in the industry, who says the 40-hour week proposed is too short. It should be at least 48 hours, he says. Can Any One Contribute? Does anyone in the audience have anything to contribute on the subject. Dahlberg asks. None has. The audience after an hour of this hearing has dwindled to three or four reporters and a half-dozen men and women who seem as bored as the participants. Bang! The gavel startles everyone. and the meeting is adjourned. NRA has considered labo: codes for this industry, for the car die industry, and the wholesale tobacco industry. Inasmuch as the tobacco union endorsed the latter code, it is probable tha Industry Co-ordinator George L. Berry and President Roosevelt will approve. No one seems to care much. Executive Group to Meet The Marion County W. C. T U. executive committee is to meet Wednesday in the Y. M. C. A.
