BANK MUST BE READY BY MAR. IST State Department Asks That Program be Completed Then With the receipt of a letter at the State Bank of Syracuse, Tuesday, ’ from the Commission of the Financial Institution of the State of IndiI ana, giving the local ’ bank until I Match Ist to comple.e their program lof rehabilitation, the bank situation |hi Syracuse is rapidty approaching i a climax. The letter which was signed by S. P. Good. Examiner in charge of liquidations stated that the commission >f Financial Institutions had determined that March Ist shall be the dead line for all Class B banks to complete their progiams for membeiship in the Federal Deposit In A Fund, or have another program which has been approved by .he F. D.\ 1. C., and the state banking deparwnent, which can be condays after March Ist. The letter urged the officials to I make, a final drive to complete their program, to avoid liquidation. Program Not Completed. Yesterday morning, directors of the bank in Syracuse stated that here was at that date, approximately $30,000 in deposits that had not been waivered by depositors. They also said that this sum or the greater part of it must be w’aivered bebre the b?nk can be opened, in orler tg__have the assurance the bank would notSae gutted immediately after opening/; ov those who did not sign the waiversl Stockholders in th£ bank also must act immediately to get the bank opened. c To date, assessment on only 129 of the 350 shares of stock have been paid. According to Dr. C. R. Hoy, rcstee' for the stockholders of the bank, he has received promises to pay from other stockholders, but so far they have not yet paid. From ; yet other stockholders, no expression has been given. , Stockholders seem to be unwilling 1 to pay their assessment until-de-positors sign the waivers, and some ■ depositors are unwilling to sign the j waivers until the stockholders pay iheir assessment. Before the bank can be opened the~ stockholders must pay their stock liability, or buyers must be found for the stock on which the assessment has not been paid. The next few days will determine whether or not the bank will continue or will go into the hands of a receiver. The future of the bank will depend on those who have not yet signed depositors agreements, on he stockholders who have not paid assessment, and on whether or not buyers can be found for stock which has and which will be put on the market by those who cannot or will not pay. ATTEND BANQUET Sixty members of the Kosciusko county Alumni association and friends of Manchester college attended lhe three course dinner held last Thursday evening in the United Brethren church iri Warsaw.

Fifteen or 20 fans accompanied the teams to Angola, to see the gmaes. Tomorrow night’s game against Mishawaka is the last of the season.

Last Saturday night Mishawaka beat Milford 49 to 26.

2 ARRESTED AFTER COTTAGE ROBBERY One on Parole from Ohio Pen Confeses; Other Denies Guilt But is Held in Jil. I ‘ ! Two men were arrested in Hunting- ; ton, Friday, by Sheriff O. E. Johnson, in connection with the Yobbery , I©f the Clifford Schacht cottage at ■ Wawasee several weeks ago. Albert Glass, 25, and Joseph Mox- ; ley , 35, are their names. Glass, who I claims he left the Ohio prison about I five months ago after serving 22 inonihs of a 10 to 25 year sentence 1 for robbery, is said to have made a 1 . vei b < confession as to robbing I ,; ch cl t s cottage. Moxley denies any ; coni ecuon with the robbery. Sheriff Harley D. Person went to | Huntington last week end and ! brought both men back to the county j jail. Moxley is charged with burglary i of the cottage, and Glass is being held as witness. After the trial Glass j will be returned to the Ohio peniten- ■ tiary. Mr. Schccht, it will be recalled, I knew the cottage had been robbed ■ when the Penny store in Huntington! called him one Saturday and i sked | for verification of a check for $-2.50 j brought there by a man to. be cash- 1 ed, the check being signed by ; Schacht’s name. Schacht knew the only check book he had on the bank in question was i in his cottage oh Wawasee, and' knew he had been robbed. He came to the cottage, Jan. 18, and misSed > two boat motors, three fishing rods, ; a fishing kit, clothing, bedding. j From the description of witnesses ■ of the man who tried to cash the ! check Glass was arrested. It was lerned he was staying with Moxley, j who used to work here at the lake ; for Schacht. So Moxley was taken into custody, i and much of the property which i buy res said they bought, from him, ] was recovered. But Moxley is going to plead not guilty to the robbery charge. He will likely be arraigned in court next week. S. S. CONVENTION OF TOWNSHIP HELD Resolution of Respect Read, tor Those Who Died: Officers for Year Named.

WINDY CITY WINS RACES IN THE WIND »But Local Ice Boat Crew Better Pushers When Wind Dies Down. The South Park Ice Boat Club of I Chicago may have the best ice boats ‘ but Syracuse ice boat owners have I the best legs and. lungs. i Saturday afternoon, the boys from [Chicago with their trim Marconi rigs ged .ice boats sailed away from the ! Syracuse boats. { Sunday afternoon, however, with > only an occasional puff of wind belly- | ing the sails of the boats, the Syra- > cuse boys pushed their boats so | vigorously around the triangular ■ ; course on the lake that they came in | first, second, third and fourth. The I South Park crew was left behind, ' and dropped out after the first ground. The race was twice around , lhe course. f Saturday afternoon, three heats ‘-were run, in what is hoped will be an annual event between the Syra- ' cuse Ice Boat club and the Ice Boat j j club of Ogden Park, representing i the South Park of Chicago. * Thirteen boats competed in the i first heat, three of which were from Chicago. In this heat the F-4 manned ky Orvil Sonnatg of Chicago was first •dw F-l manned by M. A. Johnson * of Chicago was second; and the B-ll manned by Ralph Thornburg Jr., ' and built by C. W. Kroh was third; i the F-5 manned by Gordon Johnson [‘•of Chicago was fourth; and the boat of Robert Strieby was fifth. In the second heat the F-4 was Sr st; the B-ll was second, the F-l HEird; the F-5, fourth and Bob ‘Stsieby fifth. .. ’ . Is the third heat the F-4 again won the B-ll was second and C. W. Howard's boat, manned by Don RouOsbn was third; Robert Strieby fourth and the F-5 fifth. The ine boat enthusiats believe that if there had been more wind Saturday, the-twats of Syracuse, carry- , ing more saH than the Chicagefeboats, would have .done better. The three boats from Chicago carried 100 sqaare feet, Strieby’s 150 feet, Krohs I beet 188 feet and Howard’s boat ibeat 260 feet. Sunday proved to be disappointing to the racers and to the crowd which had gathered to watch the fast boats skim over the ice. Tere was only a gentle breeze blowing, and was erratic. But to give the crowd something to look at, a race w.as attempted which turned into an endurance contest at pushing. Robert Strieby took off his hat and coat and pushed so hard his boat i came in first. Ralph Thornburg pushed the B-ll in for second place; Don Routson, brought in Howard’s boat , third; and Jimmie Kroh, aged 9,” brought in the “Reverse” fourth. Accompanying Sonntag and the two Johnsons of Chicago were James Annas and Carl Jacobson, who acted as iodgee. Mnrle Harkless of Chicago, formerly of Syracuse, was the organiser of the .race, and was here and entered h » boat, but did not place.

SUGGESTED WOMEN . FORM GARDEN CLUB i I Landscape Architect Meets with Group Monday Evening; Shows i Views of Various Gardens. Kenneth Wright Bangs, landscape; architect from Arlington Heights, ’ 111., addressed a group of people in the High school, Monday evening, showing views of various gardens, suggesting rccompEshments which could be made by a garden club in Syracuse. Mr. Bangs was brought to Syracuse to address the meeting by W. E. Long, who is interested in beautifying the town and was a guest of Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Long at their home. He was insroduced by Mrs. Ross Osborn, president of the Ladies of the Round Table. ? In starting his address of the evening, Mr. Bangs said he was just going to give the group “food for thought, ’ s instead of telling them what to do if a garden club would be organized here. He said there are no rules for making flower gardens but that simplicity is the keynote. He said beauty does not depend upon cost, but care. He said by creating neat, orderly Surroundings, these would not be damaged by children, but they would learn to respect this beauty and not destroy it. Mr. Bangs said, there is no depression'in nature. That every plant has as big an order to turn out this year as. last year. He mentioned a cartoon called the New Deal in which i Old Man Nature was shown as pres- [ ident, issuing orders to his cabinet, secretary of dandelion and weeds, secretary of fruit and nuts, etc. He urged- the forming of a garden club to benefit individual homes of the community, and asked that anyone interested remain to meet with him, following his address, A number of women did this and he toid them the way to organize a garden club would be as other clubs to elect officers, and name committees. He advised reading Better Homes and Garden magazine for ideas, and consulting Mrs. Perry O’Neal of Indianapolis, president of the federation of Garden clubs in this state. Mr. Bangs suggested having yard and garden contests, not for cash prizes but for the honor of having the work selected by judges as the best and most beautiful, and for the publicity in newspapers. MARRIAGE ANNOUNCED Announcement is being made of the marriage of Miss Roberta Crow, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Crow, and Paul McClintic, Sept 23, 1933 in Chicago. ; Mr. McClintic has been in the e:st for several weeks, working. He is now employed by the Bendix Co., and is located at Philadelphia, Pa. Mrs. McClintic went to join him there, leaving Syracuse, Friday. Mr. and Mrs. McClintic were married at the home of his brother, Dalias’, in Chicago, last September, when they had gone to Chicago to attend the World’s Fair. HURT AT WORK While at work on the airport, yesterday, Lawrence Deardorff got some mud in his eye. Roscoe Howard brought him to town to the doctor where the mud was removed.

GLASER, TIALA’S LAWYER, CAN MARRY ’EM, DIVORCE ’EM, BURY ’EM

Paul Glaser, one of the attorneys ? for the defendants in the Tiala-Hann trial in Warsaw is of the firm of Glaser, Block and Glaser in Gary, at present. His is an interesting history. He was born in Kazan, Russia, on the Volga. With some Russian students he joined the Greeks against the Turks, was arrested as a spy and condemned to be .shot in 1897. He escaped, and fought in the Russian revolution in 1905. He was sentenced to Siberia, and once more escaped. * He practised law and lectured at universities in France, Germany and Switzerland, coming to the United States in 1907. Two weeks after his arrival he tried his first criminal case in Chicago. He was a professor of Rdinan law in North . Western University, was in Clarence Darrow’s law office in Chicago for a year, and later opened his own office in Gary. The “Block” in his firm is the Husband of his daughter Margaret Glaser who, it will be recalled, appeared in a trial in i Goshen not so long ago. Glaser’s wife is also Russian. His daughter Margaret was born in Russia. His other daughter will grad-j uate in law from Chicago University next year. Glaser led the strike of 26,000 men against the United States Steel corporation in Gary .in 1919. He said,

Saturday a number of men were fishing through the jee on Wawasee. There is a large crack in the ice running from the point near Waco towards the* other side of the lake. The automobile of a man from Goshen, whose name could not be learned, went through the ice when attempting to cross this crack, and the back of the machine went into water as far up as back seat. Men in the crowd helped pull out the car. It has been reported to the Journal that occupants* have moved out of “the red barn.” Mr. and Mrs., Ralph Teeter plan to leave Hagerstown on Monday for a month’s stay in Florida. Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Martin returned home last week after two weeks spent in Florida. Mrs. Martin said they nearly froze while they were gone, and that driving was particularly difficult in Georgia, where they drove through a sleet storm which froze ice on the road and on the windshield of their car. She said Florida is having the largest crowd of tourists since boom days. Mr. and Mrs. Bernard Cunniff came from Indianapolis, Saturday, to enjoy the ice races here last week end. Mr. and Mrs. R. M. Pentreath of Clinton and Mr. and Mrs. C. G. Wilbur of Michigan City spent the we«k end at their lake homes . I Carl Tuttle came from Indianapoto spend the week end at The Tavern and take part in the ice boat races. He said his father, R. B. Tuttle has been ill with flu.

, he has always been a rebel, always ’on the side of hte under dog. He said he and his son-in-law and Bantell were lawyers of the International Labor defense organization. He said ithey were in Warsaw paying their own expenses. When asked how he could make a living that way he said he took pay from those who could afford to pay. In discussing present conditions he said that it looked like with Hoover, prosperity was around the corner, but with Roosevelt’s radio sueeches it seemed to be in the air. ' He said he thought the wealthy would become wealthier and the poor poorer, in this country, unless there was mass action. When asked how he’d keep his masses from becoming : mobs, he said by lecturing to them, by having leaders. When asked if his “masses” would be mobs because it had been stated at war time that the mentality of the average American is that of a child 14 years, Glaser said that was too high, it was 12 years. i Speaking of the various degrees lon his business card he said these meant that he could marry ’em, divorce' ’em and bury ’em. j an ordained Presbyterian ministerial addition to being a law[yer. He received his Ph. D. from Heidel burg; his D. C. L. from workin Europe and Chicago; his L. L. D. . at DePall in Chicago.

TIALA-HANN SENTENCED AFTER TRIAL Mrs, Tiala Freed; Jury Answers “Is Mob to Rule in Indiana”? Answering the question of both Attorney Brubaker and former Judge Royse, representing the state, “Are we to have mob rule in Indiana, or are the laws and institutions of this state in force,” the jury in the TialaHann case returned a verdict at 11 p. m., Saturday, deciding that Alfred Tiala of Minnesota was guilty of obstruction of a legal process (the sheriff’s sale of the Gearhart farm, Jan. 20) , and he was fined S2OO and sentenced to six months in jail. Jesse Hann, of Turkey Creek township was fined SIOO and sentenced to 60 days in jail. Viola Tiala wife of the one defendant wrs found not guilty. The trial opened Wednesday ing last week with the calling of the jury. There were so many cnall nged and so much questioning by both state* and defense, that the jury was not completed until 10:30 j Thursday morning. Witnesses for the-state end defense were heard, the last one called being Tiala. His testimony was completed before noon, Saturday, and the afternoon was occupied with arguments to the jury. Paul Glaser, of the firm of Glaser, Block & Gkser of Gary, and D. J. Bantell of Chicago, all representing the International Labor Defense and United Farmers League, argued for the defense. Attorneys Walter Brub ker and L. W; Royse argued in behalf of the state. Shortly before 6 o’clock, Saturday, the judge read his charge to the jury and they retired to decide on the testimony, balloting cn each defendant separately. They returned with their verdict about 11 p. m. ’ High Spots in Trial. High spots in the last day of the trial, in addition to arguments of the Jawyers to the jury, were when Tiala attempted to “deliver a lecture” from the witness stand and was cautioned by even his attorney Bantell; when Tiala ordered former JudgeRoyse t<s talk like a gentleman; when Tiala admitted he served more than a year in jail for refusing to ioin the army at the time of the World War; when he said under ctoss-ex ruination by Rjx?e that he thought there were times when officers sworn to carry out the law had the right to stop sales despite their oaths to uphold the law; said that he justified breaking the law of Indian* “under the circumstances.” Another tense time was when Tiala on the witness stand was asked by Bantell to explain the Minnesota law on poetponment of payment of mortgages, and the state objected and the objection was sustained. Then when Bantell, instead of Tiala attempted to go ahead and explain the Minnesota law, Prosecutor Rowdabangh asked Mr. Bantell why he didn’t take the witness stand instead bf the witness. Surprise on Friday. The outstanding surprise of Friday was the testimony of Carl Stookey of Leesburg, witness for the defense, who under Royse’s rapid-fire crossexamination admitted that he and a group of farmery had come to Warsaw to stop the sale of the Gearhart farm, “tb obstruct the legal process of the law.” The amusing feature that day was when Ed Heacock, stock buyer of Warsaw, in describing the happenings on the courthouse steps Jan. 20, in the afternoon, said when Tiala was arrested he saw Mrs. .Tiala extend her arms towards the crowd and draw her arms hack towards her several times. Heacock did not put this into words, he stood in the witness box and w’ent through these gymnastics to the amusement of all in the courtroom. When asked to put it into words for the court record, Heacock said: “She projected her hands and pulled ’em back towards her, like you’d move your hands to train a sheep dog.” The arguments to the jury by attorneys Brubaker and Royse were that the law had been violated, and ‘hat our laws must be preserved. Glaser and Bantell admitted that there mignt have been a technical violation of the state’s law, but that ‘ human” law is above that. Final Address to Jury. Former Judge Royse made the final address to the jury in behalf of the state, late Saturday afternoon and recalled to each juror’s mind that he had taken an oath to render a verdict according to law. He said that he was not going to make a Bolshevistic speech, as had the defense, because he didn’t believe in it. That if the defense'wished to that was his right. “I am not yet convinced that Anarchy is right,” he said. Royse s«id that the solemn judgment of the court decree had been entered, the sheriff hid been commanded to sell the Gearhart real estate. That the laws of Indiana authorised entering of the decree, and made it the sheriff’s duty to sell. What was the need to talk about Wall street and the banks, Royse queried, referring to Bartell’s s eech of a few moments before. The judge or sheriff did not represent any bank , they represented the law of Indians. He said: “The constitution of this state makes the courts of this state open to every man; every man has the right to enter court, the law knows no distinction between per(Continued on page 2.)
