IN SUIT FILED BY UPDlKE

Ralph E. Updike Republican)
defeated by $3.50 votes for re-
election as Seventh district con-
gresham, today formally fled his
suit in federal court asking the i'm
pounding Of ballots and voting ma
chimes used in last weeks election.
No date for a. hearing was set.
The federal court suit is a pre-
liminary step to asking a recount in
the house of representatives at
Washington, Updike said.
Updike attempted to file the suit
Monday afternoon, but was pre-
vented by his failure to provide
bond guaranteeing payment of costs.
He filed the bond today.
Updike named Louis Ludlow, his
successful Democratic opponent and
County Clerk George o. Hutsell de-
PENDANTS in the suit, which is
brought in the name of "the United

The suit alleged that in Thirty
nine Marion county precincts there
was unlawful tabulation and count

election officials" and those whose
duty it is to tabulate returns.
Votes cast for Updike were not
counted and others not cast for

HEAR WALSH IN
STEWART TRIAL
TestifieS Oil Man Denied
Knowing of Bonds.

By United Press
, WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.-Sen-
ator Thomas j. Walsh (Dem), Mon
tana, noted Teapot Dome prosecutor.
testified in the perjury trial of Rob-
ert w. Stewart, Indiana Standard
Oil chairman, today that Stewart
told the senate con~nittee he knew
nothing of dispositiGl of the Cont
mental Trading Companys $S,000,00O
in liberty bonds.
Walsh was fiercely roSs-examined
by defense lawyers who brought out
that his testimony today differed
somewhat from that of his testi-
mony in Stewards previous trial and
also that the Senator's recollection
of Stewards testimony last Feb. 2
and was vague.
Hogan read extensively from
Walshs testimony in the Stewart
contempt trial in an effort to show
that Walsh's testimony there was
that Stewart merely refused to
answer.
The Stewart indictment is based
on a charge that Stewart failed to
answer truthfully the senate COM
mittee's questions in view of later
disclosures that he received more
than $75O,000 of the Continental
bonds.
The defense indicated clearly it
would seek to show the perjury in
dictment was an after thought, the
charge being pressed after the con-
tempt charge was brought.

Twenty-four hours after passen-

SAVES LIFE BY LEAP
CIingS to Engine; Auto Is
Crushed.

Faced with instant death this
morning when a Pennsylvania
switch engine struck his automo-
bile at Shelby street and the Belt
railroad, Eubrey Hardcastle, 2143
South New Jersey street, saved his
life by leaping on the engine front
and clinging to a rod on the pilot
until the engine stopped.
Slightly cut and bruised, he heard
his automobile ground under the
engine, which Travelled more than,
$50 feet before it could be halted.
His feat seemed impossible, train
men said.
Witnesses said Hardcastle disre-
garded the warning of the bell sig
nal and drove his car in front of
the train. He leaped just as the
crash occurred. So slight were his
injuries that he required no medi-
cal attention.

Irish Pluck!
Doubt LingerS Whether
Radio Operator of
VeStriS Is Saved.

By United Press
NEW YORK, Nov. 13.-Anxiety
IN grew today about the fate
of an Irishman-Michael r.
O'Loughlin, from Ballycaren,
County Wexford, Ireland.
AS chief wireless operator,
cramped in dizzily slanting
radio room on the sinking liner
Vestris, he sent out the cry for
aid-"SOS"-the droning night
mare of the deep.
All through yesterday forenoon
he stuck at the key, aiding his
captain guide rescue ships to the
wallowing liner.
Undoubtedly, Mike O'Loughlin
manned the radio continuously,
for in emergency, that is the
chief operators duty. His two
assistants, James Mcdonald and
Charles Verchere, were probably
at emergency stations assigned in
the ships drill manual.
Steadfast, OLoughlin braced
himself against the thirty y-one-de-
gree list of the Vestris. His ell
bows, knees and feet caught in
weary stance as he bulletined
forth the story of the Vestris' fate.
Acids spilled from the batteries
OF the emergency set, but when
the engine room power failed be-
low as the water crept up in the
bowels of the dying ship,
OLoughlin switched to his emer-
gency coil set and the batteries
responded, albeit weakly.
Then, the coils last sputter to

Did he make it? No one knows

Thousands of phone calls poured
into the switchboards at the Of
fees of the lost vessel. After anx-
ious query for friend or relative,
many asked:
"And the radio man-that wire
less chap-have they picked him
up?"
Oficials of the company re-
called Mike:
"a good lad-hope he's all
right"

Packard car Binzer is charged with
having handled, that Paine displayed
an Illinois bill of sale, that Binzer
had it examined by an attorney.
that he drove the car openly for
months, never suspecting it had
been stolen and finally traded it in
on another Packard in entire goc5
faith.
Baldwin Is Target
The government trained its guns
on Ted Baldwin at the outset of its
testimony.
Baldwin and Miss Lloyd Harrison,
actress, were captured in Chicago in
the automobile of John j. Madden
Jr., stolen from Indianapolis, after
an exciting chase.
Apparently the government in
tended to prove one solid case of
theft and interstate transpos tation
OF the Car and then link the other
defendants through testimony show
ing their associations and various
overt acts.
Frank Edwards, assistant parts
manager of the Cadillac factory at
Detroit, testified regarding numbers
on the La Sale five-passenger coupe
stolen from Madden. Through these
numbers Madden's ownership of the
car recovered in Chicago was proven.
Tell of Chase
Edwards also gave similar testi-
mony concerning a LaSalle victoria
sedan stolen from Mrs. Cora M.
Schwartz, Cleveland; a Packard
coupe stolen from E. S. Hartman.
Chicao; LaSalle coupe stolen from
Abe Goldberger, Cleveland; LaSalle
sedan stolen was H. j. Deusch,
Cleveland, and Cadillac sedan
stolen from David Wolpaw, Cleve-
land, found in possession of w. Lee
Smith, and Cadillac sedan stolen
from Simon Cohll, Indianapolis.
Madden testified his car was
stolen from Vermont and Merid-
ian streets, May 10, 1923.
Policeman Harold j. O'Connelll
and William L. Cox of Chicago testi-
fed that Baldwin leaped from the
car when pursued in Chicago. Bald
win ran up an alley, the officers
halting him with bullets while Miss
Harrison sped on, the policemen
said. The officers finally overlook
Miss Harrison.

blank Cadillac plates. Herman
Manent of the General Etching and

III, testified he delivered 100 blank
Lincoln engine plates to Wyndt.
There was chorus of objection
from attorneys for defendants other
than Wyndt that this had no bear
ing upon the cases Of the others.
The court directed that objections
be saved until all evidence is in.
The three manufacturers on cross
examination said they did not sus-
pect Wyndt because he led them to
