tectives guarded two homes today While State Police from Ohio to [llinois trailed four madmen, armed with razors, clubs and a hatchet, who were reported en route to Chicago to kill their leader's former wife and four policemen. : The maniacs were led by Frank Haines, 36, former leader of a Chicago bandit gang. They escaped from the State Hospital for the Insane at Lima, O., Sunday night “sith a. companion who was captured in _ Cleveland yesterday. From the captured mah, Russell Nuckles, 25,

He told authorities Haines had confided he 'was determined to kill his exwife, Margaret Haines, 30, _ | who obtained a divorce in 1932, and ‘four policemen who were instrumental in breaking up his gang.
Gun Battle With Trio
Two of the policemen, Sergt. Redmond Gibbons and Detective Louis Olson, fought a gun battle with ~ Haines and two companions during a holdup of +Hankbook July 8, 1931. One of Haines’ pals, Orie Lehman, was killed, and the other, James Clark, was captured. Haines es-. * caped but was captured two days later by Sioux| City, Iowa, police. He was sent to Joliet Penitentiary and was released Jan. 15, 1938. Two months later he was arrested at Columbus, O., on a robbery charge and sent to the Lima prison for 10 years. / - The other officers, Detectives Patrick Touhy and Albert Glass, broke up the remnants of Haines’ gang a year ago. When Police Captain George Lynch learned of the threats he assigned two plainclothesmen to guard Mrs. Haines and her 8-year-old son, Frank. Until recently she lived with her sister and an uncle and on the theory Haines might go to her old residence, two plainclothesmen were sjationed thers also. Haines’ companions are Willard Brucks, 34, Cincinnati murderer; William Blatz, 31, Cleveland robber, -and Marion Pierce, 42, an Indianapolis robber. Nuckles was arrested three months ago on a rob- _ bery charge in Cleveland and was | sent to Lima for observation. Lynch describes the convicts as “really dangerous.” «you can’t tell what they'll do,” he said.

New Police Station Kitchen ~ Just Cooks Up More Trouble
Building Has Had Face Lifted So Many Times Carpenters Are Getting in Officers’ Hair.
By HEZE CLARK
F there is any old-time ghost swishing aro quarters who knows when it was built; he person seems to know. : And this in spite of the fact that, like the ancient public buildings and Roman roads that were under construction for generation after generation, Police Headquarters has been almost continuously swarming with building trades craftsmen for 40 odd years.
Some say the building was begun in 1894 and some say 1898. There is no record, apparently. Likewise, no one has any opinion as to when it will be finished.

constructed, moved around, and regarded as an afterthought— with accent on the after. Now the carpenters and brick masons are at work again on the old building, finding rocra for a kitchen which is to be installed for cooking meals for prisoners. Every time the workmen move in, police officers shake their heads and tell eachother: . “Some day, theyre going to find that brick—that key brick.” There is a superstition around the building that there is one brick which, when removed, will precipitate the entire struc ture and leave it a heap of debris, squirming with police and prisoners and carpenters. :
almost sure to be a nervous wreck, after what it’s been, through. At present, it’s practically a cardboard jail. Partition after partition that form offices for executives and clerks are made of plaster board. If they were portable, like stage scenery, a lot of carpenters would be out of work.
To begin with, there were three front doors to the Headquarters. One of these has been bricked up : That's just the way things are and the other boarded up. ‘at Police Headquarters. ,i#. 8 a ——Or were, that is, at press To give you an idea of how time! : many changes have been made—but nob a very accurate one, at that—the following departments once - housed in the structure are no more: The City Dispensary, the City Morgue, the City Clerk's office, a special prisoner’s cell block, the prohibition room, and Mayor Lew Shank’s special pimochle table upoyt which he ‘played with patrolmen when they weren't catching . murderers or getting frightened cats out of trees. Mayor Shank kept the pinochle table in the bicycle room, which also is gone. It was out of that room that emergency men shot out on bicycles when something
TRAIN CROWDED; SO " BENCHES ARE USED
KEARNEY, Mo., Jan. 3 (U. P.).— Business is getting better for the local railroad branch and its personnel, being versatile, is set to give service. Thus track maintenance men were worried when they noticed the waiting-room benches missing from the depot. : All was in order though because the crew of the southbound passenger train, jammed with fares, had removed the benches and placed them in the baggage coaches for the comfort of customers.

Agroriomist to Describe Use Of Brome and Reed _ Canary.
Times Special LAFAYETTE, Jan. grasses, Brome and Reed Canary,

Smooth Brome grass serves an en-

Farmers will be told at this confer ‘ence how to adapt these grasses to their own soil conditions. Reults of research with vegetables at Purdue’s greenhouses will be discussed the same day at the greenhouse section of the agricultural conference. : Prof. Edward C.

really was going wrong in the City. ..£ sometimes, the report is now, they would even leave hands unplayed to get going. _ The old prohibition room, that once housed thousands of dollars worth of bootlegged liquor, is gone—or rather it is used for several other things. The property room, where recovered stolen property is kept for owners or for trial, still is the largest, and most confused room in the station, except, possibly the
rooms. The warp and the woof of the building’s wiring, with all the changes that have been made over| the years in locations of Gamewell and phone centers, is something to behold. In fact, Sergt. Oscar Webster, electrician, who has done a lot of repairing and rearranging in his years of service, looks upon his job | as a sort of structural archeology.

NO CONVICTION YET, SAYS A. M. A. ON TRUST
By Science Service E $ CHICAGO, Jan. 3—"“An indictment is not a conviction,” the editor of the Journal of the American Medical Association declares in the
first comment appearing in the
Journal on the indictment of the association by the Special Grand Jury in the District of Columbia. The jury charged the medical association
and its leading officers with conspiracy in. restraint of trade in violation of the antitrust laws. “Apparently the Grand Jury believed with Mr. Thurman Arnold
