TRUCK DRIVERS
ARE HELD ON
GIRLS CHARGES
Men Deny Story of Attack
Attempt Told by
HitCh-HikerS.

Police held two Detroit high
school hitch mixers" here today and
sought a third, while they investi-
gated the story of the two girls that
two men who were giving them a
ride in truck attempted to attack
them on state road SO, about TWEEN
ty miles northwest of Lebanon
Thursday night.
The two men, Roy Hampton, 6.
Chicago, and Dale McComas, %, De-
catur, H., also were under arrest on
vagrancy charges. The men denied
attempting to attack the girls and
told an entirely different story of the
affair.
The two girls held here, Villa
dean May, Is, and Dorothy Berndt,
Is, said that the third girl, Thelma
Ross, II, was carried away scream
ing when the men pushed them
from the truck near Monroe after
they had resisted the mems efforts.
Hampton, owner of the truck,
said they picked the girls up near
Kentland, Ind.
The girls told him, he said, that
their homes we're in Lebanon and
they had started to Detroit with
some boys, but had changed their
minds and been put out in the road.
AS they drove one of the girls
changed their story and admitted
they had run way from their
homes in Detroit Thursday, ION
nickel" he said.
He Immediately stopped the truck
and ordered the girls to get out at
once, he said. The girls protested
and started screaming and before
the girl in the rear could get out the
two in front began throwing stones
at the truck, he said.
To prevent the windshield from
being broken he drove half a mile
up the road before letting the other
girl out, he said.
The charges against the men were
continued by John S. Smith, mu-
nicipal judge pro tenn, to Dec. IA.
Judge Smith set McComas' bond at
$25, 900 until the third girl is found.
Hampton had ben released earlier
under $4,000 bond.
Miss May was held at city prison
under vagrancy charge, while Miss
Berndt, Is, was taken to the Deten-
ton home.

LEGION DERBY
FOR NEW MEMBERS

Mutt will address the closing session
of the commanders Saturday morn
ing. 1t will be McNutt's most i'm
portant address ince his election at
the national convention in San An
tonic, Tex, in October, and will be
broadcast over WFBM at IL. !.
Passage of the cruiser bill by con-
greSS before ratification of the KEEL
logg multi-lateral treaty will be
sought by the legions legislative
committee, John Thomas Taylor,
vice-charman of the committee, as
sured the conference Thursday.
1.-THE cruiser bill must be put
through first" he said, because it
is evident that the pacif1sts of the
country are going to insist on the
multi-lateral treaty going through
so they can say what is the need
of further armament?' The legion
has to sustain it's position on ma
tional defense"
The legion has asked an appro-
priation for 2,750 more hospital
beds that will cost $12,0o0,00O to
$15,000!000, Taylor said. He pre-
dicted that the hospital construc-
ton program eventually will mount
to $250,000,000 instead of the $685.
100000 sought in 1919. More than
$115,000,000 has been appropriated
by congress for this purpose, he
said.

FIRST view OF
MODERN KILLER
Gang Style of Battle Is In
troduCed in Denver
by Fasteners.
BY H. O. THOMPSON

ChAtCu AI6SS OLAu corresponding
DENVER, Colo, Dec. This Sec
ton of the west, once noted for it's
fortnight method of settling dis
putes with pistols, is having its first
experience with the modern prac-
tees of eastern gunner.
The style of gun play which orig
mated IN the mining caTnps-and
still prevails to some degree-called
for face-to-face encounter. The
honors usually went to the man who
first wrapped his index finger aoout
the trigger of his weapon.
Sometimes the verdict was a
bloodlesS one, with the victim of
the draw shuff1ing off shamefacedly.
But in many cases the contestants
blazed away right heartily at each
other, with fatal results.
Modern Gunman Arrives
Now Denver has the screened au-
tomobiles, the hidden gunner, the
ambush and the deadly machine
gun. All of those accoutrementS of
modern killing were brought into
play against Eddie Diamond.
Eddie, a brother of Jack Diamond,
involved in the Arnold Rothstein
case in New York, is a fight pro-
moter, according to his own de-
Scription.
He was fired upon by three men
from a moving car. Two gangsters
were arro~+ad and a police check
up showed they had criminal
records in eastern cities under
various aliases.
Eddie Diamond can not imagine,
at least for publication, why any,
one should want to kill him. He
is a nervous, harassed-looking indi-
vidual He gives the impression
that he is in constant fear.
Victim Fights Back
Diamond is not lacking in brav-
cry or whatever it is that sustains
man in a fight. When bullets
rained about him he ducked,
reached for gun and fired back.
Probably, if he had lived half
century ago, he would not have
minded meeting his enemies in the
open, shot for shot.
But the modern machine-gun
ambush, automatic rifles and such
equipment have him worried.
This modern type of gang war
fare does not appeal to the west.
The mode of killers of the past
SENS always to have contained d
concession that the victims should
at least be allowed to see who was
poking lead in their direction
