Chicago Prosecutor Continues
Probe of Aubere's Death
in Auto Crash.

CHICAGO, May 14.-Indictments
charging manslaughter against
Northwestern University students
who figured in the automobile crash
in which Louis Aubere, seventeen,
was killed, during a class rush the
night of April 81 last, will be asked
OF the grand jury, States Attorney
Grove said today.
Roscoe c. Fitch, an occupant OF
one of the cars in the collision, was
to appear before the grand jury
today. Fitch is the youth who Is
said to have informed authorities
he knew all about Mounts death, "
and then subsequently repudiated
his alleged confession. Fitch was
a roomer at the home of Leighton
Mount, whose skeleton was found
in cairn beneath a lake pier, re-
Gently. Mount disappeared shortly
after freshmen and sophomores had
engaged in a class rush in Sep.
TENDER. 1921.
Fitch has declared Aubere met
death in a deliberate accident"
and Grove declared he would, ques-
ton the youth further regarding
the tragedy. Authorities intina ted
they were positive the youth also

PLAYGROUNDSIN
BLOCKS soon
READY
Mrs. Rhodes Starts Campaign
for Number Such As
New York Has.

A backyard playground campaign
fashioned after similar one in New
York and other large cities, will be
launched in Washington on July 1
Mrs. Susie Root Rhodes, supervisor
announced today.
The first will open in July in the
interior Of the block bounded on the
north by Madison street, south by
Longfellow street, east by Eighth
street, and west by Ninth street
northwest. William s. Phillips
builder, has donated the land.
Mrs. Rhodes believes backyard
Fairgrounds throughout the city, es
pecially in those sections where but
little vacant land is. available, will
provide play space for thousands Of
children who now have to use
streets.
In Washington, Mrs. Rhodes says
there are scores Of vacant lots In
the interior Of blocks which could
be operated at little expense.
The movement has had nine years
experience in New York city. It has
been adopted in Chicago, Detroit
Des Moines, Cincinnati and Denver
Washington now has a b o u
twenty-five Fairgrounds. In July
three more will be opened. In addi
ton, about thirty school grounds
VIII be thrown open. Mrs. Rhodes
says that additional grounds are
necessary, and that there are thou
sands of children without proper
play space.
