HEENEY READY ID
 RETURN FOR BOUT
Expects to Begin Training Upon
 Arrival in This Country

New York, April 1o.-JP)- After q months lark in London. Paris and other European cities, Tom Heeney, the eX- blacksmith who has asccnded to the position of challenger for the heavyweight championship of the world, will sail from Southampton for the United States April IS.
 Heeney departed for continental vacation not knowing whether he would meet Gene Tunney, Paulino or Johnny Risko in his next bout and not caring much which one it was.
 One would never suspect that Heeney was a fighting man at all by talking to him. He's not always talking about knocking somebody's head off like the rest of the heavy weight contenders.
 After he beat Delaney, Heency re- marked casually in his dressing room that he'd like to fight Tunney just to see what he could do against him. But for some stroke Of genius on Charlie Harvey's part, or 1t may have been only Tunnoy's demand that Hceney be the challenger. the New Zealander might never have won the nomination.
 Tex Rickard was opposed to | Heeney from the first, holding out as | long as he could for a final elimina- 1 ton bout between Heeney and Risko. It's an open secret that Tex | discredits Heeney as a fighter and whats more important 10 the pro- moter. as a drawing card. | Heency discontinued his training abroad and has taken pn some extra weight. He expects to begin training immediately on his arrival in this l country.
 All possibility of the bout being he'd in England seems to be eliminated by Hecncy's approaching return here. If Rickard were seri- ously considering London as q site | for the bout, he undoubtedly would keep Hecney there for ballyhoo pur- poses.
 With Jack Dempsey scheduled to arrive in New York Wednesday for his return legal bout with Jack kearns, his former manager. fistic circles are again speculating upon the return to the ring of the former champion. Two bouts are in pros pect for Dempsey if he cares to re- turn to the ring, He can meet Johnny Risko or the winner of tho April 50 bout between Jack Sharkey and Jack Delaney.

NEW UNION POLICY
MAY FORCE STATE
MINE WAGES DOWN
Reduced Pay for 10000
Indiana Workers, Fear
of Officials.

Indiana mine union officials to-
day lamented action Of the policy
committee of the United Mine
Workers in adopting a principle OF
local district autonomy and auan-
| doning the Jacksonville wage scale.
The new program was announced
following ten days of secret sessions
of the committee at headquarters in
the Merchants Bank Bldg, late
Wednesday.
1t was predicted today that ii
will mean reduced wages Tor The
10000 to 10000 Indiana miners now
working under special contract
Officials Of the Indiana district
met this morning at Terre Haute
headquarters and drew up a state
ment regarding the action Of the
policy committee, which was made
public by President Harvey Cart
wright.
Criticize Committees Action
After criticizing the action OF
Illinois in urging the meeting and
the policy committee in adopting
the resolutions leaving wage scales
to the various districts, the Cart
wright statement asserted that
operators will not be allowed TO
dictate the Indiana scale, and it will
be based largely on whatever rate
is reached in Illinois.
Previously the Jacksonville wage
scale of $3.50 a day or $1.08 a ton
was effective. 1t was for renewal of
this scale that miners in the CEN
trail bituminous field went on strike
in April, 1927. Only union miners
having special contract with local
operators on this scale basis have
been permitted to work since then.
Of the some $4,000 miners in IN
diana, between 10000 and 10000
have been working under such con-
tracts. When district settlement is
made it will be on a lower basis.
1t is understood that Illinois
miners tentatively have agreed with
operators on a Sc day rate and cor
responding reduction in the loading
scale.
Lewis Refuses Comment
Some operators here declare That
the Indiana rate will have to be
even lower than this if the union
mines are to compete with the nom
union southern fields.
j. L. Hampson, secretary treas
urer of the Pike-G Gibson Company,
declared, I'VE must have a scale of
SIS day and IS cents ton to COM
pete. 1t will be some time before
any settlement is arrived at, and
it will be fall before the mines in
Indiana again are working"
President John L. Lewis issued
an announcement and a copy of
the resolutions adopted and re-
fused to comment further. The
new plan places the international
officers in a mere advisory capacity.

Miller, or his partner Motor Police
man Roy Banks, is believed to have
wounded one of the gunmen.
The wounded man sat on the
curb while his companion asked
King for a rag. After getting the
rag, they walked off in the direction
of Brookside Park.
King called ploice and emergency
squads searched Brookside Park and
vicinity for hours without finding
any trace of the men.
Police and detectives have kept a
close watch on all railroad yards
and stations since the shooting of
Miller, and it is not thought the two
gunmen have had a chance to slip
from the city in that way.
A $1,000 reward will be paid for
information leading to the arrest
and conviction of the slayers, Chief
Worley announced after a confer
ence with Mayor L. Ert Slack. The
money will be paid from the police
and firemen's emergency fund.
Both without Hats
One of the men he saw this morn
ing was slender, about five feet ten
inches in height and wore light
colored shirt, King said. The other
was shorter and stockier and wore
a dark, blood spattered shirt. Both
we're without hats.
The two resembled the men who
jumped from the barn loft of Mrs.
Ivy Sullivan, 2434 N. Keystone Ave,
when Mrs. Sullivan discovered them
there at noon Wednesday.
The men beat Mrs. Sullivan to the
ground and fled, after threatening
to kill her if she called police.
Search Is Extended
The search later was extended to
roads leading out of town, when
six Negro boys from the Negro Or
phans' Home told of seeing two
rough-looking men get into a Ford
coupe a few hundred yards south
of the Sullivan home.
Possibility that there we're three
men instead of two in the gang
which shot Miller was suggested to
police by William Alley, 2411 Stu
art ST. While only two men we're
present at the time of the shoot
ing, Alley said he saw the two in
the doorway of the grocery, where
Miller saw them later, and also saw
third man in the alley a few feet
west of the grocery.
Miller died at city hospital at
4:08 p. m. Wednesday, after trans
fusion and an operation which
stopped internal hemorrhages had
been tried in an effort to save his
life.
Hopes They Get SIayers
II hope they get them, Doc. I
hope they get them before they
shoot someone else" were Miller's
dying words, whispered to DR.. Will
liam A. Doeppers, city hospital su-
perintendent.
Miller, who was SO years old and,
lived at 2129 Ringgold Ave, is sur
vived by the widow; his parents,
Mrs. and Mrs William H. Miller of
Bridgeport, and three brothers.
Another brother, John, had been
an officer on the indianapolis po-
lice force for fourteen years. He
died of pneumonia two years ago.
The Millers were married in 1918.
Miller was past noble grand Of In
dianapolis Lodge, No. 465, L. o. o. F..
and a member of Beech Grove
Lodge No. 674, F, and A. M. and the

The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1928-07-19

Call was sent out for the
thirty-two officers Of the State
force to concentrate here, where
they will be divided into squads
for service on central Indiana
roads.
Each squad will be equipped with
machine guns and orders given to
make it as bad for bandits as
possible.
First report of the bandits after
daylight today came to city police
from John Stroh, 3703 E. North St.,
who had been told by truck driver
that the men we're hiding in
vacant house at 2429 Hillside Ave.
Hiding in House
Stroh was hailed by the truck
man while passing the place and
told that he had seen the two men
enter the house with loaf of bread
and that one had on a bloody shirt.
Police failed to find trace of them.
Another call came from Garfield
Park and the emergency squad was
sent there to search. Other calls
continued to come in from the
throughout the city and the chase at
fever heat.
The Garfield Park trip was
brought about by boy, who saw
two men climb into 81 large packing
box. He described them minutely
and police believed that he had
given them the right clew, for he
had never read about the bandits
and did not know they were being
sought.
The bloody shirt was still being
worn, the boy said. The packing
boxes we're empty when police
arrived.
Boys Sound Alarm
Albert Firestone, 3249 Adams St.,
and Harold Gillespie, 1858 Jennings
ST., both 9, saw two men they
thought we're the bandits sitting on
a porch of a deserted house in
Dearborn Woods, shortly before
noon.
The men ran when the boys called
Mrs. Firestone, There are the MUIR
derers of Policeman Miller.
Mrs. Firestone ran to call police
while Mrs. Gillespie, another woman
and the boys followed the men a
quarter of a mile through the
woods. The men disappeared in
some thick brush near Dearborn St.
Police searched without finding any
trace.
The arm of one of the men
seemed to be tied up and he did
not use it, the women said.
Sent to a deserted shack at 2744
Sangster Ave, on a report of women
in the neighborhood that three or
four tramps have been hanging out
there, Motor Policemen George
Leslie and Irwin Bailey arrested
Carlisle Cantwell, 35, who said he
came here two days ago from Mary
land. He was taker to police head
quarters for questioning.
Search State Records
The State Bureau of Criminal
Identification is searching records
for clews that might lead to idcnt-
if1cation of the men.
Interest in the chase was reflected
today in hundreds of calls received
at The Times, asking for inforna-
ton concerning it.
Two men believed to be the des-
peradoes were sighted at lis a. M.
at Rural st. and the Big Foul Rail
road, police say.
Evan King. 205e N. Tacoma Ave,
watchman at the crossing there,
saw the pair.
A wound in the shoulder OF one
of the men was bleeding, King said.
