MICHIGAN CITY. July 28. — Drastic reforms of the organization | of the -tate police department forj the -ke l n Teased efficiency were urge! here last night by A1 G. Feeney, director of the department, Feeney spoke at the banquwet in Hotel Spaulding, which brought to a close the three-day state convention of the Indiana Association of Chiefs of Police. Approximately 250 per-
sons attended.
Declaring t at many of the reforms he advocated would require legislative act. "n, Feeney outlined the following program for the department. Adoption of civil service requirements methods in selecting state policemen, the recruits to be tried and tested in police methods before ap-
pointment.
E tabli-hment of a two-year eni. tuient term to prevent men from ■ jgriine at will, as is done now. im-a-ring efficiency of the department. 1 'nee enlisted, deserters will be subjected to severe penalties.

Blind Killer
CHICAGO, July 28—The government’s agents great nets late yesterday enmeshed three key figures in the Dillinger case and were cast out again in efforts to bag the ace out-
law’s colleagues in crime.
Federal agents admitted today that they had taken Polly Hamilton Keele, the last sweetheart of John Dillinger, into “protective custody.” They also held a surgeon suspected of camouflaging the slain gang chief's features and Mrs. Anna Sage, the mysterlous “woman in red,” who accompanied him and his girl friend on what proved to be his last night on
earth.
Samuel P. Cowley, chief pro tem of the United States bureau of investigation in Chicago, declined to discuss the triple detention. The concensus in other quarters, however, was that the Keele girl and the Sage woman were afforded sanctuary lest Dillinger's comrades attempt retribution on the theory that one of the two women led him into a federal ambush near a north side theater Sunday
night.
As a basis for this belief was a cryptic note found on Dillinger’s grave in the Crown Hill cemetery at
Indianapolis. It read:
“I am going to get her, John. So
long, old boy. J. H.”
The name of John Hamilton, lieutenant of Dillinger, was advanced most frequently in conjecture as to
the author of the grim pledge.
Acting on this unexpected clew, one arm of the manhunt for Hamilton, Homer Van Meter and George Nelson, ranking members of the criminal crew, extended into Indiana. Uncle Sam’s investigators continued their search. Rumors swept the United States courthouse that they had found $70,000 in cash and bonds in a Dillinger hideout just located on the north side near the scene of the slaying. The reports were not confirmed by Cowley or his aides. No word was forthcoming, either, on the quizzing cf the surgeon suspected of lifting the faces of Dillinger and Van Meter at the home of James Probasco. The manner of his apprehension was not made public, although Probasco had been questioned Thursday before he leaped 19 stories to his death from the federal
agents' Loop headquarters.
Attaches of the coroner's office made another enigmatic visit to the Probasco home late yesterday. A quantity of surgical equipment and a pair of pistols were found there
Friday.
The federal men were particularly anxious to learn to what extent the Van Meter physiognomy had been altered by a doctor's knife in order that they may have a definite description of his altered appearance. They have vowed to bring him in together with the other associates of the bulletbroken Dillinger.
