ATROLMEN WAYNE BEAR and Arthur Lowe were informed by headquarters at 7:35 a. m. today that a woman at 2710 Southerland-av wanted to see police, They filled the assignment and Mrs. Ross W. Barriger, the woman, told them that a bunch of dogs had driven a polecat on to the back porch of her home, and would they do something about it. They said they would. Just then Criminal Court Judge Frank P. Baker, who lives next door. appeared in robe and blue pajamas and asked police if he could help them. “Yes, if you want to.” they said. “What are you going to do?” he asked. “We're going around to the back porch to get a polecat.” “Excuse me, then,” said Judge Baker. “You know. boys, I have to be in court ‘today and all the rest of this week.” He left. When the patrolmen arrived in back of the house the polecat was absent. : But he. had been right!

G. 0. P. Tale-e-r-r Tail

“ JUMBO,” the big “papier mache” elephant that stands in Republican headquarters on the seventh floor of the Claypool, was tearful today—that is if it is possible for him to get that way. And it’s all because of “Mumbo.” his mate, It seems the last any one heard of “Mumbo,” another likeness of the trunk-carrying family, was that she was taken to Cambridge City for a G. O. P. fete and suffered possible loss of her .tail. “The tail was about ready to fall off. I don't know what we would do with a tailZless elephant or how it.got that way and as for where the elephant is. that's beyond us,” said one attache of headquarters who is supposed to keep the elephants as well as their tails in sight. Suggestions were offered that welding, glue, or wire might be used to give “Mumbo” back her tail, but nothing can be done until “Mumbo” is found—if then.

SCORES HER NEIGHBORS

i Adore My Boy,” Widow of Man Who Killed Self Sobs.

BY TOM OCHILTREE

The plot of “The Children’s Hour” came to life in Indianapolis today— told between sobs in Juvenile Court. Mrs. Rose L. Allen, a defiant work - an, was on trial on a child neglect charge. “She beat her 4-year-old son, Charles, on the head and body with a rope, and threw him off the porch into the cold and snow when he was improperly clothed,” a neighbor testified. 2 “I adore my boy,” Mrs. Allen testified. “I never sent him out in the cold unless he was properly clothed. But since my husband committed suicide about two years ago, it seems that every time I leave the house, the neighbors keep watching me, badgering me—peeping out from behind curtains and through little windows.

Charges Persecution

“They're persecuting me. They've talked and snooped until they've almost driven me crazy. “I loved my husband. He was older, but we got along. He as afraid of the depression. The houde was mortgaged. He couldn't find any work. So he hanged himself. “Since then, Charles and I have been living on $1.83 a week that we got from the trustee. It’s been awfully hard. But I do love my boy.” Mrs. Allen lives at 2020 Quill-st. Previously, Charles E. Stevens, 1636 | Le Grande-dv, had testified that Mrs. Allen ‘threatened to kill everybody in the neighborhood when this latest trouble came up.”

Argued OVer Tricycle

He said the. incident had been started by an argument between Charles and his children over a tricycle. = Shei beat her boy, used vile language, called the neighbors abusive names and flew into violent tantrums, he testified.

“Only once—that was when her husband hanged himself. I walked in. She handed me a butcher knife and asked me to ‘cut the old man down.’ I did.” Mrs. Minnie Suttle, 2010 Quill-st, another neighbor, told essentially the same story. “She called me a bad name,” Mrs. Suttle testified;

Denies Swearing

Then Mrs. Allen told her story. “Of course, I'm temperamental; who wouldn't be, with their snooping?” she asked. “But I never swore at them. Stevens threatened to hit me once.” Two other neighbors corroborated Mrs. Allen's story of “snooping neighbors.” Judge Geckler studied the evidence. : “It seems to me this woman has had a hard time,” he said. “It appears she is a victim of circumstances and environment. I am withholding judgment.” er p——— pT

‘War Threat’ Spurs Soviet Road Laying

(Copyright. 1936, by United Press)

MOSCOW, Sept. 16.—Spurred by what the Soviet press describes as the imminent threat of war in the West, the Soviet Union is thrusting with utmost speed two military highways directly toward the borders of Poland. Thousands of convict laborers, working in 24-hour shifts, under floodlights at night, can be seen near Moscow perfecting the eastern end of what will be a four - lane, 75 - mile - an - hour highway to Minsk and Kiev. The first. cars will speed along the Moscow-Minsk road Nov. 7, day of the celebration of the proletarian revolution, according to the construction schedule. The road is to be completed by the end of next year, but ‘can be opened to traffic earlier.

SPANISH REBELS PUSH BACK FOE

Government Fights for Life as Drive Is Started to Isolate Madrid.

BY LOUIS F. KEEMLE United Press Cable Editor The Spanish government fought for its life on the Talavera front today. The outcome of the civil war may be decided there. heavy reinforcments -sent out from Madrid, the loyalists have been pushed back, although they resisted stubbornly and the government, still expressed confidence that it could hold its lines defending the capital. The rebels made a strong flank attack on the government's right northeast of Talavera and the loyalists were forced to fall back to Maqueda, which is only 46 miles southwest of Madrid. The rebel objective was to cut throu the line and isolate the main of government defenders from the capital. They would then attempt to push on to Toledo and farther east to cut the government's links of communication with Valencia and Alicante on the coast. If they succeeded, Madrid would be isolated. The American State Department apparently feared some such outcome and Americans were given only 48 hours to leave Madrid for the last rescue ship at Alicante. After that, they will not be guaranteed protection. Rebels from the San Sebastian area began advancing westward against Bilbao, presaging a start of

‘the mass offensive which Gen.

Emilio Mola set for this week.

After several denials from President Roosevelt, Secretary of State Cordell Hull, and the Navy Department that the Administration was considering re-establishment of the | European squadron, the Navy De- | partment announced today that upon the arrival of the Cruiser Raleigh at Gibraltar, such a squadron would be organized “temporarily” under the command of Rear Admiral Arthur F. Fairfield. The squadron, consisting of the light cruiser Raleigh, flagship, the destroyers Kane and Hatfield and the Coast Guard cutter Cayuga, will be known as “squadron 40-tem-porary,” the Navy Department said. Admiral Fairfield who has been in command of Cruiser Division 7, Scouting Force, will hoist his flag aboard the Raleigh at the Norfolk Navy Yard on Sept. 18. The Raleigh is being sent to European waters to replace the heavy cruiser Quincy which is returning home to undergo her remaining trials preparatory to final acceptance by the Navy. The Quincy was on her shakedown cruise to European waters when orders were received direbting her to proceed to the Spanish coast and assist in the evacuation of Americans from the civil war zone, Establishment of the “temporary” squadron upon the Raleigh's arrival at Gibraltar will give the United States Navy its first regularly established squadron in European waters since 1929. - In that year the Raleigh, the last remaining ship of the European squadron, was brought home as an economy measure and in response to State Department suggestions: Until 1929, the Navy regularly had maintained a squadron in European waters practically continuously since the war on the Barbary Pirates early in the nineteenth century. :
