lorn MEMBERS RELATE brutal TERRORISM OF SECRET

SOCIETY

BULLETIN DETROIT. May 27 <UP> Examlation of 13 members of the Black .cgion charged with the kidnaping nd murder of Charles A. Poole ;2. was adjourned today for six days lespite the objections of their attorneys. All were ordered returned to the -ounty jail after Judge Ralph W '.iddy refused to entertain motionr f or bail.

DETROIT May 27 (UP) — The Black Legion obtained new member? by beating them until they agreed to join and kept them as members by brutal terrorism, four legionnaires ■barged today. This development came as authorities prepared for the preliminary examination of 12 legionnaires charged with the murder of Charles A. Poole a PWA worker, and Attorney General David H. Crowley opened Michigan's campaign in Wayne county •Detroit) to break the terroristic so cietv of night-riders, one of whose leaders boasts of 6.000.000 members In Washington. Rep Samuel Dick stein. O.. N. Y.. alarmed by evidence that the legion has at least some semblance of national organization demanded a congressional investiga tion to "ascertain it? real purpose and whether it has any international conections " The charge of the four legionnairer •as made public by Arthur T. Milford. chief intelligence officer of the municipally owned Detroit Street Railway. He discovered them in following the command of Mayor Frank Gouzens to weed out all legionnaires <>n the city payrolls All four were suspended because of their affiliation. Another employe of the railway, a man dead who had been believed a suicide but is now listed b yauthorities as a possible victim of legion v -ngeance. invited them to a party, the four men told Mitford. They thought it wai an ordinary (unction dedicated to routine conviviality Instead it was a conclave of Black Legionnaires. They were arked to join They refus-M They were beaten until they swore the terrible oath of the organization which pre scribes death for members who be tray its secrets or 'efuse to obey orders. Mitford did not divulge their names But the man who took them to the party was Alfred Roughley who was found dead * n his automo bile, victim of carbon monoxide. He was one of a number of supposed cases of suicide reopened by the expose of the night-riders, who are alleged to have killed in such a way in some instances, that their victims appeared to have killed themselves Authorities obtained more and iiinrr evidence that the legion permitted no members, once accepted to withdraw. Several legionnaires aie said to have boasted that "We have no ex-members- our cx-mem-ters are all six feet under the sod" and the 12 alleged slayers of Poole are accused of having been motivated by a fear that he "knew too much" about the society.” The 12 were to be brought into court today for a hearing. All pleaded not guilty at their preliminary hearing, but four had confessed, describing in detail Poole's death. The 12 include Dayton Dean, who admitted firing the five shots tiiat felled Poole, lifeless, into a roadside ditch, and Harvey Davis, colonel of the regiment. Attorney General Crowley planned 'o confer with Gov. Frank Fitzgerald in Lansing over possible emergency measures to obliterate the legion. He will open a state grand jury investigation in Detroit ami 'V .vne county today. Similar investigations will follow in the counties of Genesee. Oakland. Jackson “Monroi. and others where the legion is oc'levcd organized strongly. In a radio talk last night Wayne County Prosecutor Duncan C McCivs bitterly denounced the Detroit Times, which had published a story laying thM an application card for nembership in the legion bearing a signati.'e similar to McCrea's. had n—n found. McCrca denied that he had been a member of the legion or ‘lad applied for membership.

MOVE TO SAVE TAX INDIANAPOLIS. May 27 The agitation to repeal that section of the gasoline tax law providing for refunds for fuel not used in motor vehicles has grown to such serious proportions that drastic steps are being taken by the state administration in conjunction with and with the approval of the Indiana Farm Bureau to save this section of the law to the farmers of the state, according to announcement today by Laurence Sullivan Auditor of State. Repeal agitation has been aroused over abuses from some sources in this provision of the law. As a result, the Auditor's office has taken steps to prevent fraudulent claims and haa adopted a new !orm for application for refunds, approved by the State Board of Accounts. The new form is simple, yet ’omprehensive, and give to the gasoline tax division information necos- ! ary for the proper administration of the law. The new form was adopted March 1 of this year and requires applicants to list all equipment in which gasoline is used for a fuel, together with a crop report severing he period for which the claim is filed. The records show that total refunds for 1934 were $1,081,512.52 In 1935 the refunds totalled $1,322,779.36. an incerease of $241,266.83 The number of claims increased 22,553 in 1935 over 1934. a total of 185.894 claims having been filed last year. As a result of the adoption of the lew form, the March report showed an increase in refunds over the same months in 1935. and a $16 000 decrease in April over April last year. Records in the Auditor's office <how a total of 503.454.898 gallons of gasoline were used in Indiana in 1935 as compared to 460.079.545 in 1934. an increase of 43.375.355 gallons. It is pointed out the number of 'raudulent claims filed is relatively imall and, as a matter of fact, only ■-our individuals have been charged | with law violations by the departnent. and in each case a plea of guilty was filed without trial of the case.

"Provision of the law is that the tax on gasoline was established for the purpose of building and maintaining highways and for- no other purpose. Therefore the law provides that those who use gasoline in tractors stoves or for stationary engines or for any other purpose than motor vehicles which use the state highways are entitled to refunds of the ta;

paid. It is our duty under the l,w however, to protect those who an entitled to refunds by preventinj claims being allowed from those win are not entitled to such a refund." Sullivan said. The new form adoped and approved by the State Board of Accounts U similar to forms used in Illinois and Ohio.
