WIVES TO RUSH
ACROSS OCEAN
Pair Will Sail Tonight to
Join Mates in Berlin.

BIZ United Prose
BROOKLYN, N Y, June g.
Mrs. Clarence D. Chamberlin, ac-
companied by Mrs. Charles A. Le-
vine. said this afternoon that they
expected to leave tonight for Ber-
lin aboard the North German Lloyd
liner Berlin TO join their husbands.
The trip will be made as guests
of the steamship company and on
invitation of the German ambas-
sador.
They were given an impromptu
reception in Brooklyn this afternoon
first at the Office of the Brooklyn
Standard Union and later at Bor-
ough Hall. Ralph Jones, president
of the Chamber of Commerce and
connected with the Brooklyn
Standard Union, notified Mrs.
Chamberlin that a check for $500
was waiting her acceptance.
Not until it became certain that
Chamberlin and Levine had
spanned the North Atlantic did
their wives consent to sleep.
Wylda Chamberlin is used to her
husbands exploits. Prior to this,
she has known worry when a plane
has been overdue. But the restless
ocean is another thing and that is
why she wept Historically with re-
lief when the Columbia reached
Europe.
Grace Levine found the hours
OF waiting an agony. Her husbands
abrupt departure left her poorly
prepared. When she finally heard
that the plane had landed in Ger
many and that the fliers were safe,
she could not stand alone.

"There are so many murders and

District Attorneys Office Is
!. Kept in Dark on Aim of
Five SIeuths.
NOTHING TO LOOK INTO
Crew Here for Several
Days, in and Near City,
fg} s on Secret Mission.

Five ''under cover" Federal
agents, presumably directed by
Washington, have been in and near
Indianapolis upon a secret mission
for several days, though the United
States district attorneys office was
ignorant of the fact today.
A nationally known secret service
man is understood to be at the head
of the agents. He has been seen in
the city several times lately.
Assistant District Attorney Alex
G. Cavins, in charge during the
absence of District Attorney Albert
Ward, said he did not know that
the agents were here, and that
there was no reason for them to be
here, that he knew of.
The Department of Justice sever
al months ago, sent agents. un-
known to the local Federal officials,
here to investigate after the Squibb
liquor scandal, in which approx
mately $4,000 worth of whisky was
stolen from the Federal building.
Spurred by Disclosure
The under cover" agents we're
particularly active after local Fed
eral officials made an attempt to
"cover up the Squibb liquor theft,
failing to make a check of the
liquor stock until after repeated de-
rnands were made.
One of these agents, assigned to
inquire into political corruption, if
any, in connection with the disap-
pearance OF the Squibb liquor, took,
with Times permission, private files
Of The Indianapolis Times large
gents gents. N''D '','~ - :, ''''
Later he sent this data back to
The Times from Washington in a
registered parcel. While this parcel
was in the Indianapolis postoff1ce
1t was split open and the contents
passed about among several postal
employees, who read it at their lei
sure, according to the admission of
one of them.
A postoff1ce inspector promised an
investigation. Nothing has been
heard from it.
FELTON, claimed that he was
"Shanghaied" to the plantation
while driving north from Florida in
his automobile.
The group of agents now in the
city is known to have covered wide
territory. 1t is believed they are fol-
lowing up avenues of information
opened by the first independent
investigation.
Sift Liquor Trial
1t became known that they have
gone into some evidence which
Judge Baltzell kept out of the trial
of Sheriff Roy Chambers and his
deputy, Harvey Smith of Vincennes,
in liquor case at Terre Haute last
fall.
Chambers and Smith have been
interviewed by Federal agents at
Leavenworth prison, where they are
serving terms.
In connection with the visit of
the agents, it is recalled that Will
liam j. Donovan, first assistant
United States attorney general,
while in the city recently in an
case, held several CON

BERLIN, Oct 3. - The German
government and its allies among the
former militarists spared no effort in
their attempt to make the S0th birth
day of the late Field-Marshall Won
Hindenburg, now president of the
German Reich, a display Of imperial

bunting and military bands marched
thru the streets all day blaring out

were used in the heyday of German

AS a special treat to The German
fascists and reactionaries, number
of Communists were arrested for not

Every effort is being made by the
German imperialists, who hope to re-
cover the blood and iron "glories of
the Hohenzollern tyranny, to develop
the Hindenburg legend, the tradition
OF the odd iron hero" who watches
over the interests of the German
tatherland in the Wilhelmstrasse. The
German workers who were conspicu-
ously absent from the birthday party
remember 1914 and understand that
the odd iron hero" is safeguarding
the interests of the financiers and in

Eyicted Miners Can't
Have Bonds, Says Court
(CoNtinNed from Paae Ono


Esesent itself to view in District 5 OF
the United Mine Workers union il
the coal operators continue evictions
from eompany-owned houses. Nearly
300 miners families at Russellton, in
western Pennsylvania, have been or
dered to vacate their shacks imme.
diately.
The Republic Iron & Steel Co., own
ers of the two Russellton mines, have
told 165 families at one and 155 fam
lilies at the other mine to pack up
and move off company property to
make room for scah/miners.
Trucks already are backing up to
the shanty front porches and UNI
loading the scanty household effects
of those miners who can afford 10
pay rent to date. For the others
and this group includes the majority
the sheriff has been notified that
he will be expected to do his duty
and sell the goods of the unfortunate
strikers under the hammer.
Asked what they will do or where
they will go, the miners shrugged
their shoulders and said that they
did not know. They have been out
on strike for six months and most
of them are behind in their rent that
long.
