BIC GYM PROJECT
HAS ENDORSEMENT
!. OF TOURNEY FANS
Present Inadequate Faci|i-
ties Again Show Need
for Building.

Fans attending the Indiana high
school basketball tourney at the
State Playground today expressed
strong sentiment in favor of the pro
posed State basketball gymnasium
and field house.
Members of the State high school
athletic association board of control
favor the gymnasium, which would
do away with the crowded conditions
that existed Friday and today at the
Exposition building, a survey
showed.
S250,OOO Nucleus
Possibility Of the erection of a
100000 structure at the State Fair
ground doomed following discussion
of such a project by several Indiana
basketball leaders. 1t is proposed
that the field house seat between
10000 and $4,000 persons. Talk of
better facilities for handling the
tournament and other big events
has been rife for some time.
1t has been suggested that the
9OU,UUU SUI Plus VI LlS AooOSAoIAOAA
might be used as a nucleus for the
building. Basketball officials cited
the Inconvenience and expense of
equipping the exposition building
each year for the tourney.
From comment heard at the
tourney it is believed that the board
of control will meet soon after the
close Of the present tournament to
launch plans for erecting a new
home for Hoosier high school ath-
letes and other monster meetings.
The entire supply of 1860 tickets
for Friday and Saturday was sold
before the doors had opened an
hour Friday, several thousand fans
being turned away.
Favors Plan
Twenty thousand persons would
have witnessed the Friday games
had we been able to accommodate
them," said X. V. zimmerman, a
member of the Indianapolis high
school committee promoting the
tourney and past president of the
State association.
Russell Clunie, another member,
deplored the fact that Indianapolis
has no better facilities.
Roy Julian, Southport, past presi-
dent of the association, declared the
association contemplated such a
structure for two years.
Plans Drawn
I'VE had the plans drawn for
house to accommodate 10000 and
it was to cost less than 100000. 1t
should be increased to at least 25,-
900, he said, if the association is to
keep pace with fandom's desire to
witness the games. A site near the
city on the south side was proposed
when the plans were drawn, but
some obstacles arose with the
changing Of the personnel of the
board and the matter was dropped"
he said.
Al L. Trester association secre-
tary, insisted traffic conditions de-
mand that the building be located
so as to accommodate motorists.
II believe the Playground is the
proper SITE" said Trester, and as
far as our investigations reveal
there is no legal barrier to our erect
ing a State educational building
there
The teachers convention, fair ex-
hibit and other conventions might
also be held there.

Disorders Following At

BIZ United Press
COFFEYVILLE, Kan, March 10.
Scene of a night of terror, during
which guns, rocks and clubs were
freely used in a race riot, this city
bowed today before the iron hand of
martial law.
AS three units of State troops pa
trolled the streets citizens wore. a
belligerent air as they took stock
of the damage wrought during the
night, when several hundred enraged
persons attempted to avenge a crime
committed against two high school
girls by three Negroes.
The girls, Julia Mooney and Mar
garet Akers, were dragged from
their beds at 1870 o'clock Friday
morning and brutally treated by the
htree Negroes, WHO had climbed
through a window into their homes.
Jail Attacked
Last nights trouble started when
the town learned that Negroes had
been arrested. Immediately after
this news spread citizens began to
congregate in little groups. Slowly
the groups merged and the mob
needed little encouragement to
begin an attack on the Jail.
County officers refused to yield to
the mob and the slSirmish which
ensued eliminated in a victory Of the
officers, but resulted in the most
terrifying night Coffeyville has
known since tn eDalton boys, famous
Western outlaws, shot it out un-
successfully with the entire town
after attempting to stage a double
bank robbery.
Officers won the initial battle when
they resorted to tear gas bombs to
respel would-be lynchers, who at
tempted to enter the Jail from the
top stories of the courthouse by
placing a ladder from a bank build
ing to the Jail building and crawling
across it.
Finally, after two of the Negroes
had been released and the other
spirited away members of the riot
ing crowd were allowed to enter the
Jail cells and, convinced that the
Negroes were not there, the crowd
moved away.

0kLAH0MANS GALL
 FOR NURSE RELEASE
Court in Uproar as Preliminary
 Hearing Ends

Enid, Okla, Sept 30 LP-Amid cries of Turn her loose" from many spectators in the court room, Jus tice Foglesong late yesterday took under advisement the charge of murder against Mary Atkinson, 26, trained nurse, and announced he would decide today whether she must stand trial in connection with the alleged poisoning of Mary Jane Bailey, IS.
 The preliminary hearing of the nurse. whose love for the Rev. Charles Bailey, Episcopal minister and father of the dead girl, was brought out in the evidence, came to a close after it had been testified that an analysis of the girls viscera failed to reveal any trace of poison.
 When Justice Foglesong an nounced that his decision would be postponed until this afternoon, there was confusion in the little court room. Many of the spectators shouted demands for release of the defendant.
 Justice Foglesong then explained that he reserved judgment pending careful consideration of the evil dence. A demurrer to the evidence presented by the state was entered by the defendant and the justice heard arguments of counsel for Miss Atkinson.
 Occupying all of the seats. seated on the floor and standing in the discs, the crowd listened breathless- ly to the testimony of Dr. w. H. Bailey, Oklahoma City pathologist, employed by the state, who stated that final tests made on the viscera of the dead girl failed to reveal any kind of poison.
 Dr. Bailey stated his belief that butolism, a poisoning sometimes in duced by eating infected fruit, might have produced certain physical con- ditions which he observed in his autopsy.
 Dr, W. l.. Kendall, who attended Miss Bailey in her fatal illness, said that he could not state positively whether Mary James died of pto- maine or some other poisoning.
 Miss Atkinson was arrested fol- lowing the death of Mary Jane Bailey September 8. The girls mother died two weeks earlier. The murder charge was filed by County Attorney Mitchell after the Okla homa City pathologist had reported preliminary examination indicated Mary Jane died of poisoning.

Unknown Soldiers Bones
 Cnearthed at Atlanta

 The bones and part of the uni form were found under an oak tree. The skull and teeth of the skeleton were in an excellent state of pre- servation and the uniform buttons bearing the insignia of the United States made it highly probable that the spot was the resting place of a Union soldier.
 The bones have been sent 10 the city hall to await orders from the war department. A military funeral probably will be arranged.
