Hoosier Vagabond

LA TUNA. Tex. Dec. 18. Yesterday when I came to La Tuna Prison Warden Thomas B. White asked me to stay for lunch. So I did, and we sat and talked, and finally he told me the story, as I was hoping all the time he would. The story about his left arm, It happened in 1930, when he was warden at Leavenworth, Seven bad ones had formed a ring; smuggled in guns, At 11 a. m. they made the break, Warden White was in his office, The first inkling he had was when he heard them holding up clerks outside his office, He knew from the sound what it was, He started over to the safe to get a small revolver he kept there. Then he remembered he had taken it home. He had forhidden guards inside the prison <0 he had taken his nwn away, came in and demanded to be let out Warden While asked how many were in the plot. They said seven, He said all right, he would let the seven out, no more, They took him along with them, He ordered the front gate opened.

to carry guns They prison,

Ordered Gate Opened

As they started through, a wall guard swung his machine gun toward them. One convict told Warden White to order him not to shoot. Warden White did. Then the convict raised his gun. “Here,” Warden White said, “don’t shoot that guard. I've just told him not to shoot you.” The convict put down his gun. They got a car outside the gate and started into the country. They ditched the car, and got another. Thev walked across fields. They held up farmers, Every minute of that long day Warden White expecled to he killed. The voungest man of the seven wags 45--they were lifelong Southwestern outlaws, hard as nails. The only reason they delaved Killing the warden was to use him as a hostage, as breastworks. They tied his

you can do about it,

The first census ever made around here was the one back in 1824 when a couple of grown-up snoopers connected with the Union Sunday School went out of their way to count the number of families in Indianapolis—for no other purpose than to get a line on those kids who spent their time swimming on Sundays. The self-appointed census takers counted exactly 100 families living on the “donation.” And knowing what we now do about the pioneers, it is not unreasonable to suppose that the count represented 300 children. At least that number, Which is to say that in 1824 Indianapolis had a population somewhere around 550, including a fair amount of Bychelore—8 questionable quantity even as far back as 1824,

Ar Amazing Growth

Three vears later, a more scientific census was taken, with the result that this time 1066 were counted, In 1830, the population was about 1500; in 1840, 4000; in 1850, 8034; in 1860, 18,611; in 1870, 48,244 ran amazing increase due in part to the Civil War, but mostly because of the fact that by this time it became noised around that Indianapolis was cut out for a manufacturing center). In 1880, the population jumped to 75,056; in 1890, to 105.436; in 1900, to 169.144; in 1910, to 233.650; in 1920. to 314,194; in 1930 to 364161. I warned you in the beginning what today's column was going to be like. In 1930. the people at Washington classified 306,324 Indianapelis citizens as “Native White”; 13,740 as “Foreign-born White": and 43967 as “Negroes,” leaving yeu to believe that sum total of those figures represents the official population of Indianapolis.

hands, they reviled him, they constantly threatened him, He reconciled himself to the fact that he would nod live through the day. It was a horrible experience. “But when you've finally made up your mind something is inevitable,” Warden White said, “it isn't quite as bad as you would think.” It was the convicts’ own bungling, late in the afternoon, that brought on the denouement, In an unguarded moment Warden White grabbed one of the convict's loosely held shotguns, and gave it a twist. But the butt hit the side of a car, and he lost it. And then another convict let him have it, at close range, with a shotgun, Warden White had thrown

up his left arm, The charge went tnrough his arm, ! just below the elbow, It went on through his coat, and splattered his] chest. As he sprawled in the dirt, the convicts jumped into an old car and charged down the road. Within] a mile it broke down, and they got into a farmhouse. | It was dark,

That one man is now, dead, of heart trouble, and the three others are in Alcatraz, Today Warden White's lower arm is held on only by muscle and flesh. The bones don't even touch cach other. It is like an extra joint. He can bend his arm around in any direction, half way between his elbow and his wrist. He can’t button his coat with that hand, yet he can play golf. It doesn’t pain him any. When he was shot, he had on coat and vest. The vest was buttoned. The gunshot charge tore the whole breast out of his coat. His shirt and undershirt were riddled with the little pellets, Yet there was not a single shot-mark on that vest! He has never solved it to this day, The experience affected Warden White, as it would anyone. Tt didn’t make him afraid, but it made him jumpy, and kind of haunted, and he's just now, nearly 10 years later, beginning to get fully over fit,

Germans Outnumber Irish

To get along with my thesis, however: In 1880, the foreign-born, mainly Irish and Germans, made up one-sixth of the population. There were two Germans to every Irishman, And believe it or not, to this day there are still {wo Germans to every Irishman. On the other hand, only 4 per cent of all the people in Indianapolis today are foreign-born. The 1940 census will ‘show even less because that's the way things have been going lately. In 1820, for instance, there were 3218 more foreign-born than in 1930. The number of Negroes is increasing. The 1827] census showed 58 Negro residents. There might have been two more except for the fact that on June 19, 1825, two Negroes named Knight were drowned in! White River. In 1835, the Negro population reached 73; In 1850, 450; in 1860, 488; in 1870, 3038; in 1880, 8038; in 1890, 11,118; in 1800, 17,636. The next 30 years brought 26431 more.

Times Special Writer

EW YORK, Dec. 16.—It is bound to be a tragic year for the blue marlin, the tuna and the tarpon off the Florida coast this winter, If they knew what was in store for them they would swim to New Zealand or Labrador — anywhere, in fact, to get away from the heaviest migration of vacationers Florida ever has seen. Less than six weeks after the Neutrality Act stopped the bulk of American travel to Europe it has become apparent that Flor fda, probably more than any other one section of the Western Hemisphere, will benefit by the necessity imposed on American tourists to do their traveling on this side of the Atlantic. Reservations at hotels and rooming houses, on trains running down the seaboard and on planes and busses already have given conclusive evidence that the trek to the sun and sea has begun. They used to say to travelers in Italy, “See Naples and die,” but that logic misfires on the American mentality. This coming year Flor- a ida will lure scores of thousands Rei of visitors without urging them to cash in their checks—until there's nothing in the bank to redeem them, al least. Department of Commerce statistics, which show that the majority of Americans going abroad originate in the populous centers along the Atlantic, play directly into the hands of the Chambers of Commerce of Miami Beach, Miami, Palm Beach, St. Augustine and all the other resort spots. Even from Boston, the sun-laved beaches and the warm waters of

Vacation activities reveal that swimming is the most popular of all vacation sports, with golfing, fishing, boating and tennis following in order. Women don't go in for the fishing in quite that order, but otherwise it is accurate for both sexes. Since any of these sports is available in the warmer states, the trend away from summer vacations may be gathering speed. Already February and March rank in third and fourth place behind July and August, and it is this more than any other one factor, that encourages Florida and California, ” »

Yachts are docked at the fashfonable bayfront hotels like the Flamingo, the Nautilus and the Fleetwood and the island waterways are alive with boats that call this resort their home port in the winter, While this modern winter Mecca that sprang up like Aladdin's genie from the sand dunes lures its thousands from the bleak hinterland, Palm Beach; Miami, St. Augustine and the other vacation capitals attract other crowds, There are also other spots less publicized, from Charleston and Key West to the Mississippi that have their own charm. “ial, To shuttle these vacation crowds from the wintry North to the sunny South the railroads plan a service stepup of as much as 20 per cent, Last year the Seaboard line found that one streamlined coach train, the Silver Meteor, could handle the business on a three-day headway.

we expect a 35 per cent increase in business this winter,” he said. “We just had to have five new trunk lines tied into our switchboard to handle the business.” No person on earth can accurately foretell what share of the $120,000,000 spent in Europe by about 168,000 Americans will go to Florida, Southern California and the rest of Dixie, but if they don't et more than their share it won't be for not trying. Great chunks of this money will be tossed over the cashier's desk in the swank hotels, night clubs and resorts, and for extra fare accommodations, but plenty of it will be handed out for gasoline and trailer-camp privileges and hamburgers, When the year is over and the money all spent no one will be able to say whether the gentleman on his yacht or Westbrook Pegler's George Spelvin had the more fun. While this article treats only of the South, leaving the West Indies and South America for later discussion, we believe that Nassau and the Bahamas belong with Florida and California rather than with the Spanish Main and the islands of the Caribbean.

The hostilities in Europe have only emphasized that this possession of the British Empire is under the protective lee of the American shore, far from any danger. Any definite statement of America's reaction to the ban placed on travel to Europe will have to wait until a span of four seasons has given the native tourist a chance to see what life is like on his own continent.

other afternoon for the foreign students in Washington, They came some 300 strong, and I was sure prised to find how many countries were represented. China, Japan, Spain, Brazil, Argentina, Venezuela, British West Indies, Africa and Australia, all passed by me and I realized what an attraction this city must have for students all over the world. Before we went into tea. their international glee club sang three Christmas carols, one in English, one in German and one in Spanish. This group uf foreign students puts us all to shame, for they really try to learn each other’s language and are interested in each other's problems. Last night we held our first big reception, the diplomatic reception. There was a little wider distance between each group of diplomats, but on the whole, as we expected, everything seemed to go off quietly and pleasantly. It was sad though to see so many people go by, whom you knew must be heavy hearted. The gay unitorms, beautiful dresses and jewels cannot hide people's eves, and the eyes are the mirrors of the soul.

line of people will play with your response to impressions, I thought that I was watching each face, and vet after the diplomats had all gone by, I suddenly woke up to the realization that Mr. Harry Robbins was shaking hands with my husband and that his wife must have passed by without my recognizing her. Mrs. Robbins is Mr. Sumner Welles’ sister and I have known her ever since she was a little girl, so to let her go by without a word of recognition seemed odd to say the least! As soon as the President had gone upstairs, I went in search of them. Fortunately I] found them still here, so we had an opportunity for a little chat. This morning Mr. Fulton Lewis Jr. presented me with a small radio. I can't say that I deserve the notice which he has brought me, but it certainly is a very pleasant and useful award. Before taking the train tor New York City, I went in to see the Home Economics Exhibit in the patio of the Department of Agriculture. This exhibition will be here until some time in January and I am sure that everybody will find something to interest them in going through it.
