I Two cousins are being held in the I count jail here while Sheriff Verner j L. Powers is investigating their story I of where they obtained eight young turkeys they sold Thursday morning at a local poultry house. The men are William Haynes, 25. of near Coatesville, and Henry Haynes, 29. of near Fillmore. They were arrested Thursday | morning after a chase by Sheriff ! Bowers and Deputy Sheriff Wayne

| Gentry.

The two cousins sold Ux? turkeys, weighing about four pounds each, at the Dalton Poultry company here. After the sale was made, Chester Himes, the manager, became suspicious and called Sheriff Bowers, telling him in which direction the pair had gone The officers followed the men down the Greencastle road, overtaking them near the New Mar-

ket road.

The two men denied they had stol-

en the turkeys. They claimed they had been given the turkeys by a man identified by them as "Dinkey" Bear.

Officers frankly doubted the story. Sheriffs of surrounding counties

were asked to investigate in an effort to determine the owner of the fowls.

A delegation of Floyd township

farmers were in Crawfordsville Friday morning in an effort to locate property which had iicen stolen from them. The Haynes boys are said to have confessed the theft of a tire from Lexis Eggers and some tools from Claude Wain, but denied theft of gasoline and oil from Vern Lydick or Ford auto parts from S. T. Cat ter.

Baptist. Presbyterian, Christian and Methodist < hnrehes ineliided in Religious Movement

Greencastle churches launched the most extensive cooperative program yet undertaken in this community in j a meeting of a committee represent- I ing the Baptist. Presbyterian, Chris- ] tian and Methodist churches at the

library this week

The program, which will be known as the Cooperative Church-Forward Movement, will extend throughout the month of September in a series of local church and inter-church meetings. The purpose is to emphasize the services of the church to the community, to stimulate members and non-members alike to share more extensively in the ehurch activities, and to encourage more wide-spread support of the city’s religious enter-

prise.

G. E Black was chosen chairman, and Miss Gladys Hammond, secretary, of the executive committee of the movement. The other members are as follows: Dr. W. R. Hutcheson. Prof. Paul Boston, Ward Mayhall. E. A. Brown. Dean W. M. Blanchard, Prof E. R. Bartlett, and the ministers of the cooperating churches. Rev. G. E. Carlson. Rev. V. L. Raphael, Rev. R. T. Beck, and Dr. A. E. Mong-

er.

The following program will be reI commended to the official boards of | the cooperating churches during this

| week:

E Sunday. Sept 9, Home-coming and Visitation Sunday The morning services of the churches will be devoted to stimulating interest in the membership in the various aims of the movement. During the afternoon, teams of visitors from all the

churches will call in the homes of the j community. The city has been mark- | ed off into blocks and approximately j

200 women have been assigned to the different localities. This visitation is designed to create interest in the churches, to secure names of nonmembers and to stimulate attendance at church and church school services. 2. Thursday evening. Sept 13, has been named church family night. In each church a program of interest to all members of the family is planned. 3. Sunday, Sept. 16, Church Loyalty Sunday. Each minister will probably emphasize in the services the spiritual values upon which every community depends, and enlist his congregation in the movement to make these values uppermost 4 During the week of Sept 16-22. two get-together suppers will be served, on one evening for all the men of the churches and on another evening, for the women. The fellowship committee of the movement will have charge of the programs and develop the details. It is probable these suppers will be held on Sept 19 and Sept. 23. A central place for these gatherings will be announced. 5 Sunday. Sept. 23. is designated as Forward-Program Sunday The morning church sessions in each ehurch will be addressed by laymen, who will emphasize the worth of religious activities to the ci’v In the afternoon and during the entire week, another visitation will take place, this time to underwrite the financial

obligations of the churches This can- 1 vass. while carried on simultaneously j

hy all the churches, will be directed by the financial committees of each church independently, to meet the particular needs of each communion. 6 Sunday. Sept. 30. is to be Victory Sunday, when reports will be made and the movement evaluated. Special committees were authorized and will be reported later It is probable other union services will be arranged as the program develops.

tary rule.

Hy noon disciplined, heavily arnic'l soldiers were at the king- i fish’s disposal. The United Press informant said the troops would be! held "at th<» disposal ’ of the legislative committee investigating local , vice The committee now is guarded under a state of “partial military law.” It was pointed out that martial law was a loose term in l/Oiiisiana at present and the troops could act in any way suiting Long without a formal proclamation Developments in lamg's spectacular and often theatrical fight against the local polite al machine in control at eity hall, came with light-

Angered because hi legislative committee investigating vice seemed to be unable to produce any sensational evidence ol graft against city authorities, the kingfish threatened to declare martial law cancel the city's chart or. and reduce New Orleans to the "status of a country

In the mill districts of New England and the south and in Washington where new deal forces sought to pacify the worst capital labor strife ol the recovery drive, the atmosphere

was electric.

Thousands of men were under arms. Talk of martial law was matched by hints of a possible but improbable general strike Governor John G. Winant of New Hampshire, chairman of the president's inquiry board, arrived here by plane and called his committee Into session at 9 n m. to begin the stu pendous task of mediation On no side was there a hint of conciliation Both operators and labor hinted they were ready to accept nothing short of complete victory New pitched battles between "flying squadrons” of strike organizers and mill guards and militia were feared on all sides. Six men were killed in a pitched battle between strikers and mill employes it Honca Path. S C., yesterday. In South Carolina all of the state’s national guard was under arms and detachments rushed from one mill to another, attempting to head off danger as it threatened Martial law tor the entire state was suggested North Carolina had 1,304) guardsmen on duty. Trucks carried squad after squad to the textile centers. Virginia placed heavy guards along the North Catolinia border to halt, if posible, threatened excursions hy union "flying squads" So far Virginia operations have been little
