Indicted by Jury
On March 11, the Marion County Grand Jury indicted both Baker and Cancilla on charges of malicious | mayhem and assault and battery { with intent to kill Mr. Coy. The malicious mayhem charges later were dropped on motion of Frosecutor Spencer. Baker, who had been reported in Miami, Fla, surrendered to Sheriff Ray two hours after the indictments were returned and Cancilla was arrested in a taxi cab on Massachusetts Ave. the next day. Weeks of litigatien followed, during which Prosecutor Spencer carried his fight for a change of judge to the Indiana Supreme Court. May 1 the High Court issued permanent writs of prohibition against Criminal Court Judge Frank P. Baker and Circuit Judge Earl R. Cox from acting in the Balun Cancilla case. One writ prevented Judge Baker from taking any action on the indictments and the other prevented Judge Cox from enforcing an injunction filed in his court by Cancilla, who sought to block the Prosecutor's affidavit for change of judge.

The trouble began at one of the plant entrances when William Johnson, 28, truck driver taking nonstrikers into the plant, swerved to avoid a rock barrage. Johnson's truck struck Tom Glowacki, 51, a picket. Glowacki was taken to City Hospital with a fractured left leg and possible skull fracture. Mounted Patrolman Rowley Oker, knocked from his horse by a brick, was treated for a head gash. Buffalo C. I. O. leaders, sponsoring a walkout of 1200 packing company workers, placed an embargo on meat shipments today to enforce demands for a preferential shop and higher wages. Simultaneously, there was hope of peace in the strike of 1000 produce truck drivers and warehouse workers, as heads of 44 wholesale food supply houses met to consider a three-point truce proposal. The strike, sponsored by the American Federation of Labor, has cut off Buffalo's major supplies of staple foodstuffs since July 21.
Ford Violation Denied
In Detroit, a Ford Motor Co. foreman testified before the National Labor Relations Board hear.
| ing today that eight men were dis-
charged from his department for in-
| competence and not because they { were members of the United Auto-
mobile Workers of America. The witness, Richard Elberth, cushion department foreman, was recalled by company attorneys after the week-end recess of the hearing into charges the Ford company violated the Wagner Labor Act through unfair labor practices. In New Orleans, the freighter Cananova docked today after armed deputy sheriffs removed 26 officers and crew members who had staged a sit-down strike while the vessel was
proceeding up the Mississippi to its |
pier. Sheriff La Meraux of St. Bernard Parish notified local police earlier that a “state of mutiny” existed aboard the ship, owned by the Weinberger Banana Boat Co. Inc. In New York, the Industrial Union of Marine and Shipbuilding Workars of American charged today that Police Inspector Harry Lobdell, conducting an investigation into alleged police brutality in the Brooks lyn shipyard strike, was prejudiced against the union and asked his replacement by an impartial committee. After a conference between Lobdell and Commissioner of Accounts Paul Blanshard and Chief Inspector John J. Seery, official observers, Blanshard announced the request was denied.

Meanwhile jurisdiction disputes continued among rival labor groups. The C. I. O. seeking to create a nation-wide Longshoremen’s Association will use its Pacific coast organization as a wedge to drive into territory now controlled by the International Longshoremen’s Association of the A. F. of L. it was indicated today. In Pittsburgh, rival factions of the Federation of Flat Glass Workers today were compiling evidence to be submitted to an arbitration committee which will decide whether Glen W. McCabe of Columbus, O., should be ousted or retained as Federation president. In Dayton, O., Louis Hines, chief organizer of the A.

By United Press LOS ANGELES, July 26.—The honor roll of science today listed the name of Thomas B. Rifer, 52, electrical engineer, a martyr to the X-Ray. He died Sunday after 10 years of suffering and 540 operations. Although he knew he was slowly “burning to death” he continued his laboratory research until he was helpless. Death came when the malignant burns finally reached his brain. He suffered the burns 10 years ago, before the danger of exposure to the rays was known fully. “He knew all the time he was burning to death,” Mrs. Bertha Rifer said of her husband today

LORD FAUNTLEROY MODEL DIES AT 61
Vivian Burnett Collapses After Saving Four at Sea.
By United Pres MANHASSET, N. Y. July 26— Little Lord Fauntleroy, once a little boy with long black curls in velvet jacket and stiff white collar, lay in his coffin today. He died a man of 61, a few minutes after rescuing four persons from drowning. He was Vivian Burnett, son of the novelist, Frances Hodgson Burnett who created the prototype of childish sweetness and delight of the fond mothers of 50 years ago. Mr, Burnett was sailing his yawl.

Butler Relates
(Continued from Page One) absorbed in business to know what he is eating. Various dining room duties, such as polishing the silver, setting the table and preparing appetizers for the evening's meal, keep the staff of six White House butlers occupied during the afternoon. Before dine ner, those on duty change from tuxe edos to full dress, George says. Even the simplest home dinner, it seems, has five or six courses and is formally announced at 7:45 p. m. All meals are served French platter style by the butlers, except on Christmas and special holidays when the President himself carves and serves. Next to lobster dinners, the Presi dent most enjoys Maryland fried chicken with cream gravy, accord= ing to George. Corn on the cob is served frequently at this time of serviced with silver handles, Scrambled eggs in a chafing dish are a Sunday night tradition for ine formal suppers.
Electric Range Used
The Chief Executive always is served first, then Mrs. Roosevelt. The butlers do not hover over the diners during meals but are sum=moned by the tinkle of a silver bell which Mrs. Roosevelt keeps at her place opposite the President's ace customed chair. Extraordinarily enough, her place is not at the end of the long dining table but in the center of the table's wide side. The seating capacity of the large horseshoe~shaped table, used for state and diplomatic dinners, is 100 persons, George says. At garden parties ‘and buffet suppers on the lawn, George has assisted in the serving of more than 1000 persons at a single meal. The food is are rayed on tables placed in marquees, built on the terrace, and replenished from service tents in the back yard. The large White House kitchen is arranged much the same as a hotel kitchen, with a huge electric range and thermotainers to keep food hot. George has his own room on the third floor of the White House, in the servants’ quarters, where six other servants also live. Wherever the President's family goes, George goes along. Whether it's Hyde Park, Campobelio, N. B,, Warm Springs, Ga., or the White House, it's all the same to George as long as Mr. and Mrs. Roosevelt are there, George received his White House appointment through civil service. He wants to stay on through this Administration but after that he has ambitions of becoming “Mr, Fields,” a Government accountant,
He's studying for that job now!
LIFT BAN ON TRUSKS,
REPORT MAY ADVISE
All but Three Streets Are Involved. The Mayor's committee on truck
routes today was expected te recoms= mend lifting of truck bans on ail
‘wo | city streets but three—N. Meridian,
E. New York and Union Sts. The recommendation was ape proved last week, then rescinded when some committee members argued that residents should be heard. Mayor Kern appointed the coms mittee after the City had granted demands of College Ave. residents that an ordinance banning trucks from that street he enforced. This closed all major entrances into the city from the northeast. A proposed route over Keystone Ave, was silalie by truck operators as “une safe.” Residents on other North Side streets, including Carrollton, Park, Guilford and Winthrop Aves. come plained that trucks were using these narrow streets, creating a safety hazard.
SURE —
I'm glad the trolleys run on my street. They are so silent, attractive and convenient that | am glad to have their service so near at hand. My neighbors feel the same.
