DAIRY FARMERS ADVOCATE NEW CO-OPERATIVE Mass Meeting Is Planned; 'Hasty’ Feeney Firing Is Condemned. Representatives of more than 100 dairy farmers who yesterday forwarded to the State Milk Control Board a resolution condcnruiir.2 it for the "hasty” firing of A1 G. Feeney, today perfected plans for a mass meeting of farmers seeking to form an all-inclusive marketing co-operativa for the area. They took the action yesterday at a meeting in the Lincoln when Mr. Feeney, deposed market administrator, told them why he thought he had been fired, and scored the state board for not protecting the farmers’ interests. Mr, Feeney said he had been forced by the state board to compute milk incomes of farmers in a way that reduced the farm income, but that no protest had been made by those members of the local committee who were supposed to represent the farmers. Charges Opposition by Hedges He said he had been opposed by Carl Hedges, manager of the Indianapolis Dairymen's Co-operative, when he wanted to return to the unorganized producers a large sum that has accumulated in the milk check and test fund. Moreover, he said he and the state board have on file an offer from J. D. Littleton, manager of the Indianapolis Dairy Produce Council, another co-operative, to check and weigh all milk for unorganized producers, on a contract basis, for less than 2 cents a hundredweight, even though Mr. Littleton's co-operative charges its members 3M cents a hundredweight. Mr. Feeney said that any charge over a cent or a cent and a half a hundredweight was, in his opinion, exorbitant. Bluntly, he told the farmers that the advertising committee of the local milk committee had tried, while he was secretarytreasurer of it, to spend without his knowledge more than SIOOO, and that he would, if he were a farmer, watch how that money was spent. The farmers cheered. Questioner Is Hooted Henry Clay Johnson, said by persons in the room to have been a representative of one of Mr. Feeney’s enemies, was hooted out of the meeting when he tried to heckle Mr. Feeney with questions he read from a typewritten page. When Mr. Feeney left, the farmers held a spirited discussion about organizing a co-operative, which they said they hoped would adequately represent their interests. "Let’s show them,” one speaker said, “that we can organize. They are so sure we can’t.” The group included members of the three co-operatives and independent producers. Mr. Feeney said that records he had when he was market administrator showed that there are 1455 members in the Indianapolis Dairymen Co-operative; 812 in the Indianapolis Dairy Producers Council; 265 in the Independent Milk Producers. 3463 Not Organized To balance that, he said, there are 3463 milk farmers in the shed that belong to no marketing co-oper-ative. He said he quoted the figures because Mr. Hedges and Mr. Littleton claimed that their organizations represented 80 per cent cf the producers in the area. The resolutions forwarded to the state board also asked that Mr. Feeney be given a public hearing on his dismissal. Mr. Feeney declared he would not consider being rehired under any circumstances.

Stewart Donnelly, Famed Confidence Man, Comes Home to Get Teeth Fixed

BY JOE COLLIER STEWART DONNELLY, who holds the title of the world’s greatest confidence man, undisputed except by himself, is back in his native Indianapolis for his first visit in five years. He is here to have his teath fixed. Also he wanted to see a few of his friends of former days when he was doing all right as a prize fighter in and around these parts and before he hooked up with Nicky Amstein. Bill Fallon and Dapper Dan Collins. He had just time enough to give, for publication, the rules he would follow if he, as a wealthy man, wanted to avoid confidence men. No. 1, and by far the more important, is: if someone tries to give you something for nothing, don’t take it! No. 2, fairly Important, but not necessary if you follow the first, is: Don't play cards with strangers! tt tt u O TEW ART is rather short, wellbuilt, wears a nicely groomed mustache and is as smooth in his manners as smooth itself. He was careful to observe all the wellbred amenities in ordering coffee from the little uniformed drug store girl. He was wearing a brown suitfriends say he maintains a wardrobe of 50 street suits, all made by a New York tailor who is tops, together with other trappings such as sports, theater, dinner and full dress, golf, polo, riding, tennis and others. Friends say that when he goes traveling with 14 trunks full of clothes he always takes the royal suite on the best liners, and always has frapped champagne in his suite for after-dance and barclosing parties for those he chooses, with wry smile, to call his clients. “A banker or a broker,” he says, as he alludes to his clients, “is likely to be the easiest clipped of all. He wants something for nothing.” As for gambling games, Stewart says there is no chance for outsiders. “The nearest chance you have is in faro-bank,” he says, “For every bet you make on roulette, the odds are 5 and 5-19ths against you, no matter what system you play. In .raps the house has all the besf of it because the house has a limit on you. You can’t win if you play consistently. tt tt .* “SOMETIMES, of course, in my business I find it necessary to play a few hundred at Monte Carlo, but I do it to impress a client, not to make money. Once I won SIO,OOO in a night there, but it was luck. I never go to the tables to make money. “What bridge system do you play, Mr. Donnelly? ’ he was asked. "Well,” he said, and his face lighted in that flushed, goodnatured smile that is characteristic of him, “we—well, we play our own system.” Stewart had a drink of coffee, the last in the cup. Politely he

asked the waitress for another. He mentioned he never takes a drink of liquor, beer or wine, never smokes and, of course, doesn’t chew. “Any one who does anything to injure his health,” he said, as he felt a tooth packing over a spot where the dentist had drilled only a few moments before, "is foolish.” “How did you get into the confidence business?” he was asked. “Oh, hanging around with fighters you meet them. But remember this, any one I ever beat was someone who had plenty of money. I never beat a man who had a family that would suffer, or who* just had a little stake saved up.” “How many first-rate confidence men are there in the world today?” he was asked. u u tt “TTFELL,” he said, flicking his VV mustache and smiling again, “I’d say about 35 of my UNEMPLOYED DECREASE 218,000 IN DECEMBER Industrial Board Sets Total for !

The total unemployed as of Devember was set at 8,979,000. The 2.4 per cent decrease was over the previous month. The decrease over December, 1934, was 9.3 per cent, the board said.

Wilson Mizner, of course, is deceased.” Stewart is in this country cleaning up a few loose ends before returning to Europe and the playgrounds of the continent. These loose ends include a little business in Toledo, 0., where a man " the name of Michael Monaghan is claiming in state court that Stew was forgetful enough to take $12,500 from him when he (Monaghan) was himse’f on the “make” for some easy money. “This fellow,” says Stewart, “was a complaining witness in Montreal against me and Judge Monet told him right in court that he was 10 times worse than I.” He and the complainant entered into a scheme to defraud the Montreal bookies out of $250,000 and when they lost their money they went to Judge Monet for relief. tt tt tt “TTE didn't know he’d lost his JtAmoney for a couple of weeks. I got a kick out of clipping him, as vindictive as he was.”

STATE,DEFENSE REST IN JACOBY HOLDUP TRIAL Case Is Expected to Be Given to Jury Late Today. The state and defense rested today in the Jacoby holdup case and it may go to the Jury late today in Criminal court. Forrest Jacoby, Al and John Head and Jerry Dukes are on trial for the William H. Roberts & Son dairy robbery last August. In his statement to the jury, Prosecutor Herbert M. Spencer said that the four accused men had in their possesion a collection of firearms that would have done credit to an army. “Where is their honest income?” he asked. This followed Jacoby’s second appearance on the witness stand today when he was cross-ex-amined as to his source of income. Yesterday, Jacoby told the jury that he made his money by gambling. He also testified that, although he maintained several apartments here and in Cincinnati, purchased two automobiles and gave money to Al Head, he did not gross the SIOOO necessary to file an Indiana gross income tax report. He also said that he had never filed a Federal income tax report. Denies Any Crime When confronted by the state with a long list of alleged crimes and aliases Jacoby denied everything. Answering Oscar C. Hagemeier, deputy prosecutor, who asked if he had held up Winfield S. Newcomer of the Beech Grove bank, Jacoby said, "I never held up no one in my life.” Defense witnesses testified that Al Head and Jacoby were in Covington, Ky., at the time of the robbery. Al Head took the stand and denied participating in it. He told the jury that he had not worked since 1932. J. Ed Burk, one-time candidate for Mayor, was a character witness for the Head brothers. He testified they had good reputations for honesty. When told Al Head had served a sentence for burglary he said that if he had known it he would have changed his opinion.
