600 TROOPS RUSHED TO NEW ALBANY

KING LOSING STRENGTH; CRISIS EXPECTED TONIGHT; COUNCIL OF STATE NAMED

Grave Fears Felt That Beloved Ruler May Not Survive Another 24 Hours; Doctors Are Pessimistic. ROYAL FAMILY TO GUIDE EMPIRE Posting of Bulletin Comes as Shock to Natives of Sandringham Estate After Earlier Encouraging Notice. By United Press SANDRINGHAM, England, Jan. 20.—King George, on the border line between life and death, began to lose strength late today and grave fear was felt that he might not survive another 24 hours. His doctors, who have been cautious but frank in their announcements as they battled to save the King from an acute attack of bronchial catarrh, complicated by weakness of the heart induced by fits of coughing, issued a rather pessimistic bulletin at 5:30 p. m. (11:30 a. m. Indianapolis time):

"The condition of His Majesty the King shows diminishing strength,” the bulletin said. It was signed by Lord Dawson of Penn. Sir Frederick J. Willans and Sir Stanley Hewett, who are in constant attendance. Not long before the bulletin was Issued, the King, his feeble hand guided by Lord Dawson, scrawled a weak “George R. I.” to a document assigning his royal powers to a council of state for the duration of his illness. Royal Family Selected The Council is made up of Queen Mary and the King's four sons—the Prince of Wales, heir to the throne; the Duke of York, Duke of Gloucester and Duke of Kent. Except for the Duke of Gloucester, who is ill in London, all the royal children were there, including tile princess royal, Princess Mary, only daughter of the King. The anxiety of the royal family and the King’s physicians, shared by his millions of subjects in the world empire on which the sun never sets, was manifest. While no official announcement was made, it was believed the doctors felt that the next 24 hours—particularly the dark hours of the coming night, when vitality is at its lowest ebb—would tell the story. Crisis Due Tonight If the King survives well into tomorrow, it was understood the doctors felt they might dare hope for his recovery. The graveness of the bulletin, however, aroused fear that hope for the King’s survival was not over-strong. As. darkness fell over the chill, dripping winter landscape around the King’s favorite 7000-acre estate, which to him is his real home, where he is safe from public intrusion, the lights winked on all through the manorial house. The atmosphere seemed one of quietly restrained but anxious activity. Only a few persons remained outside the immediate family, the doctors, nurses and household staff. Members of the privy council who had been present when the King authorized his family to carry on the affairs of state had returned to London. Bulletin Shocks Villagers The posting of the 5:30 bulletin came as a distinct shock to the loyal natives of the Sandringham estate who gathered outside the jubilee gate to read it. At the same time it was flashed by telegraph, telephone and wireless throughout Britain and the empire. Statements of the last two days had indicated the King was maintaining his strength. The latest announcement indicated he was losing ground despite the gallant fight of his doctors and nurses, employing every means known to modern medical science. Sandringham House said there would be a further announcement later tonight, again indicating the precariousness of'the King's condition. Although the royal farAily was gathered in the house in the deepest anxiety, no one. not even the queen, was permitted more than a momentary tip-toed visit to the sickroom for fear that any disturbance might aggravate the king's illness. Rested Well Last Night The Duke of Gloucester was expected tomorrow, unless a sudden crisis makes it imperative for him to start from London at once. The groups of country People who had trudged through the darknesand boisterous wind to the Sa*nngham gates had eagerly expect a more reassuring news after the restful hours of sleep which it hart been announced the King enjoyed last night. Four members of the privy council came to Sandringham by train from London today—Sir John Simon, home secretary, whose duty it is to be in the sickroom when a king dies; Ramsay MacDonald,

lord president of the council; Lord Hailsham. the lord high chancellor, and Sir Maurice Hankey, clerk of the council. Three Councilors Present They joined three councilors already here—the Archbishop of Canterbury, head of the Church of England and the king’s old, dear friend, and Lord Dawson of Penn, the king’s physician in ordinary since 1907. Then came the first grim reminder that a king is more than a man. that he is a symbol of the unitv that unites a kingdom or an empire. An order in council had been drafted creating the council of state to act for the king. Sir John Simon, Ramsay MacDonald and Viscount Hailsham took up posts in the doorway between the king’s private sitting room and the bedroom where behind a double barrier of screens he labored for breath. Lord Dawson of Penn, the physician, took his stand at the king’s side. King Signs Order Hankey, clerk to the council, was nearby. MacDonald handed the order in council to Hankey the lord president of the privy council to its clerk. Hankey advanced to the bedside and handed the order in council. Dawson leaned over the bedside and put the paper on the covers. He took the king’s weak hand and guided it as the king weakly scrawled his signature, “George R I," at its foot. It was the last signature the king will have to make during his illness. While the council was being created, the Prince of Wales, heir to the throne, and the Duke of York, the king’s second son, were en route here by airplane. Definite Crisis Due Tonight It was the last airplane that would enter a ten-mile radius around Sandringham during the king’s illness. The air ministry telephoned every airdrome in the kingdom today declaring the area out of bounds until further notice. It was understood that a definite crisis was expected in the king’s condition before tomorrow and that if he lived through the small hours tonight when man’s vitality is lowest, *here would be some hope. The doubtful element was whether he could do this, it was indicated. He was in no pain. The human chain that linked his bed with the privy council had relieved him of all responsibility, for technically he presided at the council personally, and he was left to await his fate. The parchment scroll, across which his shaking hand, hot under the guidance of the hand of Lord Dawson, scratched his signature with a quill pen, constituted an emergency government for him. Lasts but Few Moments The ceremony had lasted but a few moments, and the councillors bowed formally from the doorway and walked slowly along the red carpeted corridors to lunch with the queen and other members of the family. The Prince of Wales and Duke of York joined the family at lunch. They landed soon after 1 p. m. at Bircham Newton airdrome, eight miles from Sandringham, and motored to the house.

11l Omen By United Press LONDON, Jan. 20. King George forecast that last summer’s jubilee celebration marking the twenty-fifth anniversary of his succession to the throne would bring him bad luck, it was learned today. The king was most superstitious as regards the celebration and repeatedly and testily told Queen Mary and his sons that it meant bad luck. He agreed to the jubilee only after a long newspaper campaign in which it was pointed out that the people looked forward to it, and after friends advised him that it was his duty to enter into the spirit of the occasion. That he did was shown by his apparent enthusiasm and—at first—good health. But during the jubilee he got a cold which caused the cancellation of many functions.

LONDON TORN BY MOTIONS Fear and Hope Clash as Teeming City Prays for King. Bis United Press LONDON, Jan. 20.—01d, sprawling London, that has grown from a fishing village of pre-Roman times into a city of 8,000,000 people seemed animate today with /ear for King George and hope for his recovery. Every 15 minutes the wireless flashed a statement of his condition. The end of every motion picture, the end of every act in theaters was awaited for an announcement of the king’s condition. A great proportion of conversation in the streets, in busses, in the “tubes”, in the busy city that is the financial heart of the empire, concerned the king. It was noticeable that the anxiety of the watchers became greater as there came no news of a favorable change. There were whisperings and head shakings. One policeman devoted himself to reading the announcement for old people, including a tiny old woman who must have remembered Queen Victoria at the height of her reign. Children passed by on their way to and from school. Business men carrying dispatch cases alighted from taxicabs to hurry up and look at the bulletin. As many as 75 automobiles at a time grouped outside the edge of the crowd while occupants went to read, or chauffeurs were sent instead. Nursemaids with children in perambulators, from the surrounding parks, were interspersed in the crowd. People began dropping in greater numbers into the stained stone churches all over London to pray for the king’s recovery. The churches yesterday were filled, churches that had not been filled for years. There were special prayers at all of them.

MONDAY, JANUARY 20,1936

SENATE DOWNS PLAN TO SLASH BONUSIN HALF Senator King’s Amendment Is Defeated in Stormy Session. VOTE IS NOT RECORDED Burke of Nebraska Makes His Maiden Speech in Opposing Bill. By United Press WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.—The Senate, bowling along toward passage of the “baby bond” bonus bill, today defeated an effort to have tne proposed veterans’ payment trimmed in half. A substitute, offered by Senator William H. King (D., Utah), to base the payment on the present cash surrender value rather than the 1945 maturity value of adjusted service certificates, was rejected without a record vote. The Senate was in considerable confusion as the debate progressed. At ore point Senator William E. Borah (R., Idaho) impatiently suggested that the Senate restore order “or adjourn until we can do so.” Senator Edward Burke (D., Neb.) made his maiden Senate speech in opposition to the bill. Pensions Next, Is Forecast He suggested payment be confined to needy veterans and called payment to all, regardless of need, “an outrageous thing to do.” Senator King forecast an early drive for veterans’ pensions and said that World War veterans already had cost the nation a total of $9,049,810,419. He predicted passage would contribute to a total national indebtedness of $35,000,000,000 to $38,000,000,000 in the next fiscal year, adding that eventually veterans expenses would amount to $125,000,000,000 or more. Roosevelt Soon to Get Bill The bill may reach the White House within the next 24 to 48 hours. President Roosevelt has given no definite indication whether or not he will veto it, but most observers believe he will. After it has passed the Senate the bill will be sent back to the House, where it will be substituted for the Vinson cash payment plan adopted 10 days ago. It then will go to the White House, with indications that a presidential veto will be forthcoming. State Posts Active Indiana Legion posts today are preparing for final passage of the bonus and may aid in expediting payment by handling applications of veterans. Dr. A. R. Killian, ttate commander, is in telegraphic communication with Washington representatives. He said today that state posts will aid in filing of bonus applications as soon as the measure becomes a law.

Storm Claims 50 Lives; Mercury Dips to 10 Here

Several Injured in Falls on Ice; Woman Falls Down Steps. The sun revisited Indianapolis today for the second consecutive day and raised temperatures that had fallen to 10 at 9 this morning to 18 at noon. It gave weather-worn citizens a rare chance to smile at the climatic problems of other sections as they read of heavy snows in the East. However, there was ice in hazardous quantities on the streets and sidewalks and caution was used by drivers and pedestrians. The Weather Bureau predicted a low of at least 13 for tonight and cloudiness and slowly rising temperatures for tomorrow. Several persons were injured in ice falls and traffic over the week-end, although there were no deaths. Mrs. Gertrude Gibson was injured on the head, received a broken arm and shoulder and severe internal injuries this morning when she slipped on ice on the back porch at her home, 819 Lineoln-st, and fell down the cellar steps. She was taken to St. Francis Hospital by her daughter, Mrs. Irene Davis, and immediately was sent to the surgery. She is the wife of Wililam J. Gibson, an ice dealer, and is 51. RUSSEL WHITE JOINS KINGAN DIRECTORATE Named by Stockholders to Fill Vavancy of John R. Kinghan. The stockholders of Kingan & Cos. have elected Russel L. Wnite a director to fill the vacancy created by the death last summer of John R. Kinghan in Ireland. Other members of the board are R. S. Sinclair, W. R. Sinclair, S. B. Sutphin, William G. Irwin, C. H. Keehn and K. D. L. Sinclair.

Ruling Delayed By United Press WASHINGTON, Jan. 20. The Supreme Court today postponed for at least two weeks its decision on the constitutionality of the New Deal’s vast TVA power program. The ruling had been expected today. After meeting formally at noon the court recessed until Feb. 3, the first date on which the TVA decision may now be rendered. The delay came in the face of vigorous briefs filed by the government shortly before the court met in two other contested New Deal statutes. In one the government asked the justices to throw out of court Gov. Eugene Talmadge’s attempted test of the constitutionality of the Bankhead Cotton Act. In the other a plea was made for rehearing of the rice millers’ case, which the court decided last week at a loss to the government of some $200,000,000 in contested processing levies.

‘KILLER' FLEES JAILJW RUSE Takes Place of Prisoner Whose Time Expires, Walks Out. George Columbus McCrimmon, 24, Negro, self-styled “killer” who was arrested by 12 squads of police Jan. 13, escaped from Marion County jail today by impersonating another person who was to be released. Louis Hart, 611 Wilmington-st, was due to be discharged after serving a 10-day sentence. Later Negro Deputy Sheriff Henry Walker found Hart still in jail and an investigation of the 62 Negro prisoners revealed that McCrimmons was missing. This is the second time in three years that McCrimmon has worked the same tactics on local jail authorities. Sheriff Ray immediately placed Hart under arrest for aiding a prisoner to escape and suspended the deputy. A reward of SIOO was offered by the Sheriff for information leading to capture of McCrimmons. The escaped prisoner was arrested at en attic apartment at 70614 In-diana-av in a surprise raid by police. He previously had boasted that he would not be taken alive when he learned that he was being sought for robbery and automoblie banditry. When taken he was armed with a revolver but had no opportunity to use it. VANDEVANTER SICK; IS CONFINED TO BED Aged Supreme Court Jurist 1111 With Bronchial Infection. By United Press WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.—Justice Willis Vandevanter, 77-year-old dean of Supreme Court jurists, was confined to his bed today by a bronchial infection. Physicians orded him to rest for several days, but he expects to be present when the court convenes Feb. 3 after a fortnight’s recess.

Temperatures Tumble in East, South; Snow Takes Toll. Br United Press The most severe and widespread storm of the winter blew out to sea off the New England coast today, leaving more than 50 dead and traffic of more than half the country snarled in snow. Temjjeratures dropped rapidly in the thickly populated East as the skies cleared, creating intense suffering among thousands of the poor in metropolitan centers and hampering the work of highway crews fighting to open smothered highways. There was no such temperature in the country today as the 44 below zero that northern Minnesota experienced Saturday, but only the most extreme South and V/est escaped freezing. All the North Atlantic coast was imbedded in snow that slowed trains and almost halted motor traffic. The Midwest and North, to the western slope of the Rockies, were digging out of snow that fell Friday and Saturday. Aside from temperature. New York City was the hardest hit community. Eight inches of snow—--1.74 inches of precipitation—fell on Manhattan yesterday. In some suburbs the fall was 15 inches. Fifty thousand men and 800 snow plows worked all Saturday night, all day yesterday, all last night and today. Still they had cleared only the most vital traffieways. The heaviest loss of life occurred along the Florida-Alabama border, where tornadoes killed 18. More than 40 were injured. Red Cross officials asked contributions. Nine persons died in New York, most from heart disease aggravated by walking in a 50-mile-an-hour wind. Accidents and cold killed more than 20 in New England. Three died in Philadelphia, two in Cleveland.

CITY WILL ASK GREATCR LEVY FROMRAjLWAY Trolley Officials Told of Expectations by Works Board Today. CHASE PROTESTS RISE He Had Hoped New Contract Would Be Same as 1932 Pact. The Works Board today told officials of the Indianapolis Railways that the city expects a generous upward revision of street maintenance terms when it transforms temporary permits into contracts. Meeting with the officials as negotiations for a contract began, Robert K. Eby, vice president, who presided in the absence of Hubert S. Riley, president, who is ill, said that the board has “no pronounced idea of what the new terms shall be.” Charles W. Chase, railways president, replied that he had hoped the 1932 temporary permits would be a basis for the new contract; pointed out that the company had complied fully with the permit terms, and called the attention of the board to the fact that the company operates under supervision of the Public Utilities Commission. Requirements Outlined Mr. Eby pointed out that the temporary permits require the street car company to pay 10 per cent of the cost of resurfacing a street from which the company takes up tracks for trackless trolley operation, and 5 per cent of the cost of construction or reconstruction of a street for the convenience of the company. The city pays the remainder. Mr. Chase pointed out that the street car company is a public conveyance, maintains 43 miles of track and hauls about 65,000 passengers daily. Last month the city called for revocation of permits by Feb. 19, and set a hearing for today to give the utility an opportunity to present its case. Alternate Proposal Ignored The company submitted an alternate agreement last summer. By its terms the city could take the rails from the streets on trackless trolley lines and salvage them. The car company, however, would not pay any money for improvements. The latter agreement never was placed in operation. The city administration now is determined to establish a more favorable basis of trolley assessment, it was indicated. Mayor Kern said the city’s terms would not be revealed until after company officials had submitted a new proposal. It was said that today’s meeting probably would mark the beginning of a prolonged deadlock between the utility and the city. Other Methods Studied An entirely new revenue-raising method may be attempted. One member of the administration said three taxation systems used in other large cities may be used as patterns for revision here. The city could license each piece of equipment of the Indianapolis Railways. The revenue of the company could be taxed, or a tax could be based on the total mileage of its vehicles. At present the company pays a license fee of $52 for each bus. It also maintains street surfaces between its tracks in addition to its percentage agreement on reconstruction and resurfacing. EIGHT MINERS TRAPPED BY DEEP SHAFT BLAST Three Entering Mine Unharmed in Kentucky Explosion. By United Press LOUISVILLE, Colo., Jan. 20. — Eight coal miners were trapped today in the Monarch No. 2 mine of the National Fuel Cos., three miles south of Louisville, by a deep shaft explosion. Three others, who were entering the mine at the time,- were unharmed.

DM BOOKKEEPER IDENTIFIES SUSPECT Names Al Head as Having Part in Robbery. Herman L. Wiseman, a bookkeeper at William Roberts & Sons Dairy, today identified for a jury in Criminal Court Al Head as one of three bandits who on Aug. 20 robbed the office and' struck him with a gun. Head, Forrest Jacoby, John Head and Jerry Dukes are on trial for the robbery. Oscar Hagemier, deputy prosecutor, told the jury that the state will trace guns used in the holdup to the quartet. The evidence will show, he said, that Jacoby was the leader. Clyde Karrer, defense attorney, said evidence will show that police persecuted Jacoby and that three of the four on trial were out of the state on the day of the holdup. A jury of eight women and four men was selected last week and is to be sworn in this morning. Saturday, members of the prosecutor’s staff and defense counsel went to Illinois to take depositions of defense alibi witnesses who had been in an automobile accident and are confined in a hospital.

PEACE PUN FUTILE HOW, LEAGUE TOLD Committee Denies Financial Aid to Ethiopia. By United Press GENEVA, Jan. 20.—The League of Nations Committee of Thirteen today decided it would be futile for it to make any further effort at this time to advance a plan to bring peace between Italy and Ethiopia. The committee received a long Ethiopian note, repeating a previous appeal for financial aid, but decided such aid would be impossible. The committee decided not to investigate alleged Red Cross bombings. Members of the League council met privately today, their deliberations shadowed by the possibility of a European war resulting from any tightening of restrictions against Italy. This grim reminder, it was believed, will cause an indefinite delay in voting on oil sanctions. GREENLEE SUPPORTER OFF STATE PAY ROLL Roilin Place Resigns or Is Fired; Finney Won’t Say Which.

MARTIAL LAW DECREED FOR TWOCOUNTIES Pickets and Strike Breakers Clash in Shirt Plant Labor Dispute. M’NUTT ACTS QUICKLY | Jeffersonville Included in Decree, Covering Clark and Floyd. Six hundred Indiana National Guardsmen converged on New Albany and Jeffersonville this afternoon after declaration of martial law by Gov. McNutt. The order followed an outbreak in New Albany as a result of the strike at the M. Fine & Sons shirt firm. Troops were ordered to the area at the request of law enforcement authorities of the cities and Floyd and Clark Counties. The strike has been underway several months. Today’s outbreak occurred between union sympathizers and non-union workers. Within a few minutes after th# Governor signed the proclamation, the Indianapolis units of the Guard, including a field artillery section, mobilized at the militia’s headquarters on S. Pennsylvania-st. Women Reported Beaten New Albany police officials were reported to have informed Adjt. Gen. Elmer F. Straub and other state officers that a force of 50 special deputies was unable to quell the outbreak today in which women were reported beaten with clubs and struck by rocks. The proclamation, which was to be flown to New Albany this afternoon by Lieut. Edward W. Maschmeyer, is effective at 3 p. m. The writ sets out that no one will be privileged to carry weapons except Guardsmen and police officers and that all attempts at gatherings in the area immediately will be broken up. Col. Fechtman in Charge Adpt. Gen. Straub named Col. Paul Feohtman in charge of the Guard at the scene, although he expected to fly to the area within a few hours. Col. Fechtman has been in the vicinity for several days, acting as an observer for the National Guard. Details of the situation were given Gen. Straub by Col. Fechtman but the former declined to make the information public. In addition to the Indianapolis unit, other companies were mobilized in Martinsville, Darlington, Terre Haute, Shelbyville and Princeton. The Martinsville unit was one of the first prepared to go to the southern Indiana cities and one of its requisition requests was for 40 pairs of gloves. City Officers Included Indianapolis officers assigned to the strike zone include Capt. Howard Bates, Lieuts. Lindley A. Pennypacker, William Weimer and Carl Helphenstine and Lieut. Col. Manford G. Henley. Troops are to be quartered in the Guard Armory at New Albany. Reopening of the shirt factory with non-union labor, after a strike of several months, precipitated today’s violence, it was said. The Jeffersonville branch of the company is said to have opened this morning without violence. John Hibstenberg, Jeffersonville police chief, told union strikers that so long as pickets did not interfere with employes entering the plant there would be no official action. Bargaining for Closed Shop According to company officials at Jeffersonville, 50 of their 291 employes agreed to return to work at a 5 per cent pay reduction. Since the strike began several months ago, the remainder have joined the garment workers’ union and refuse to return without union recognition, it is said. The New Albany union has been bargaining for a closed shop contract. but never has preferred charges with the local National Labor Relations Board, Robert H. Cowdrill, director, said. Mr. Cowdrill said that although Department of Labor mediators, including Robert C. Fox, Indianapolis, have been in New Albany during the last two months, that the union has not asked assistance of the board. Martial law still is in force in Sullivan County and Terre Haute, where labor disturbances in the last few months brought continuation of National Guard surveillance. 30 REPORTED KILLED BY ITALIAN BOMBING Ethiopian Red Cross Caravan Attacked at Woldia, Officer Says.
