STATE NOT
TO ACT IN
GARY CASE
INTERNATIONAL NEWS sERyIcEl

INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICEJ
INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 15-That the
state is powerless TO act in regard
to the affidavits of three men held
al Gary, Ind, in connection with the
wreck Of the Michigan Central
Million Dollar" express, in which
n Is charged third degree methods
were used to force "confessions"
from them. was the opinion express
ed here today by {. oliver Holmes
Of Gary, who obtained the affidavits.
In view Of the fact that the Lake
county grand jury failed TO return
indictments against any Of the Gary
police officials after hearing evil
dence from the three suspects, it is
improbable that the state will take
action, Mr. Holmes said. No an
nouncement of action on the part of
the state legal department was
forthcoming and it is considered
likely the governor viii abandon
anv idea of interfering in the case.

by the board OF safety and instruc-

Beginning tomorrow that district

and Calumet on the east, for the
purposes OF this regulation will be
considered "congested territory
with the maximum speed limit 10
miles an hour.
Chief Bdnde has assigned several
motorcops to operate exclusively in

last night.
The chief called attention also to
fragrant violations of the parking
ordinance by jitney operators who
crowd no parking" zones and await
arrival OF passengers. He issued a
warning to them to observe the
law more closely.
Jitney operators came in for
more censure when complaints
wrere registered against them for
stopping in the middle Of the block
in the center of the street, 20 load
and unload passengers. Some jit-
neys it was pointed out also were
operating without any sign on the
windshield. This is in violation

Sidewalk cycling is another evil

Of
FRAMING"
MADE ANEW
Phillip Ukman Stool Pigeon
Case Brings Up New
Accusations

Charges Df framing" on the part
Of the Gary police which were first
heard when Philip Ukman, stool
pigeon" of Pert Morgan's federal
agents, was arrested on a charge OF
bribery and which were not refuted
by the Lake county grand jury, are
heard again from two sources this
week
On the same day UlSman was re-
leased from Jail under bond. follow
ing his indictment for forgery. his
father -in-law, Ella viator, was ar
rested. Police visited his home that
night and carried away a quantity
Of liquor which they said they found
In the attic. First Viator claimed
that he did not rent the attic He
said it was retained by his landlord
who lived in the basement.
Then Viator's daughter made the
astounding statement that when she
heard the racket the police were
making in ascending the attic
stairs, which are at the rear of the
house, she opened a door on the
back porch and saw one of the po-
licemen going UP stairs. Under his
coat tails. she says, she plainly saw
two bottles of liquor other officers
had preceded him. Then they came
down with the moonshine. Hence
the charge that the police framed
the raid and planted" the liquor in
order to bring Ukman into dis-e-
pute.
Now comes Gaspare Monte, who Is
listed as one of the governments
witnesses in the conspiracy case
against Judge william Dunn and
Attorney Blaz Lucas.
The other day an italian lawyer
of Gary called Monte and asked him
to go on the bond OF young Italian
who had been arrested by the ro-
lice. Monte demonstrated but the
fellow appeal was
strong. He was told that the man
would be given a hearing the fol-
lowing morning in police court so
the bond would be posted for only
a day. He consented. The bond was
$4,000.
NcAl iHOTflHS hONLe appeared at
the city court and was told that tho
violator had failed to appear and
from information received he had
left the state. Monte was further
informed that his $4,000 bond had
been forfeited.
This procedure is unusual in Lake
county Technically the bond should
have been forfeited on the mans
failure to appear. But 1t isn't being
done that way. A bondsman Is
generally given some time in which
to get his man back into the state
and often such a matter will drag
along for a year without a for
feiture being made. And besides.
the prosecutor has the power on his
own motion to have the bond set
aside. The circumstances of course
are to be considered.
Monte has already taken. the mat
ter up with federal officials in Ham
mond but no intimation has been
made as to what course the govern
ment will pursue If any in behalf
of the bondsman.

CAUSE: FOR
CONFIDENCE
IS PUzzL|NG
Says Farmers and Organ
lied Labor Are BOtn
Out For Him
TIMES BUREAU AT STATE CAPITAL
IND Oct. Is

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, Oct. 13-
1t was learned this week that ex-
Governor Samuel NJ Ralston, demo-
cratic nominee for United States
senator, Is telling some of his init
mate friends that he is going to be
elected to the senate. Since Mr..
Ralston is about the only person
who is optimistic over the demo-
cratic chances, his reasons for be-
lleving he is going to win give an
interesting sidelight on the cam
paign.
Mr. Ralston, according to friend
who talked over the campaign with
the nominee recently. said he is sure
he will defeat Albert ]. Beveridge,
the republican nominee. Mr.. Raj
ston. according to his interviewer.
based his belief on the grounds that
he will receive the support of or
ganized labor, farmers and persons
said to be dissatisfied with the re-
publican national administration.
While Mr.. Ralston is apparently
carried away with enthusiasm for
his own campaign. other persons IN
close touch with the situation are
practically unanimous in producing
the return to the senate of ex-
Senator Albert j. Beveridge, the re-
publican nominee. Mr.. Beveridge is
wasting no time in idle statements
concerning his chances to win, but
is going before the people with a
message that is arousing admiration
in every section of the state. The
truth of the matter is, the Ralston
campaign has failed to stir a rip
pie of enthusiasm in Indiana while
Beveridge has created an unusual
amount of interest IN the election
for an off, year when no national
tickets are in the field.
Republican leaders are much
pleased with the work of Senator
James E. Watson in behalf Of the
republican ticket. Watson is max
ing a whir!wind speaking tour of
the state and has given his whole
hearted support to the election of
Beveridge.
Marion county republican faction
al differences. which have threaten
ed to result in some friction in the
party machinery here, have all been
buried. according to republican lead
ers. Clarence r. Martin. chairman
OF the Republican state speakers
bureau, announced this week that
Mayor Lew Shank, of Indianapolis.
and ex-Mayor Charles w. Jewett,
who have been heads of opposing
republican fractions here, have both
taken the stump in behalf of Bev-
eridge with leaders of all factions
of the party working unitedly for
Beveridge here, Marion county is
expected to roll up a substantial
majority for Beveridge and the en-
tire state ticket.
Republican leaders were much
pleased with the final results Of
the registration of voters in Ind
lana. Belief was expressed that the
republican strength registered far
exceeds the democratic voters. With
this situation, 1t was pointed sut. the
work of the organization will now be
directed toward getting out the vote
on election day, which. 1t was said,
Will insure a republican victory.

He testified to that effect in court
yesterday and other people who had

Because Of the excitement attend
ing the arrest many members of the
police and fire department as well as
other citizens were attracted to the
police station and were also wit
nesses to what transpired. These
were all at Crown Point yesterday
and their testimony was quite con-
trary to that of Goldman. The
