INDIANA ASKS
AUTO BRIDGES
Building Bills Laid Before
Congress.

by CUiIcu HfCSS
WASHINGTON, Feb. 24-The
State of Indiana today laid before
Congress plan by which States
may satisfy the growing de-
mand of motorists for bridges across
big rivers, yet may escape extortion-
ate charges by private toll bridge
promoters.
-Four bills we're introduced au-
thorizing the Indiana State high
way commission to build bridges at
various interstate points, issuing
bonds for the cost, which would be
taken by private financing compa-
MES and held as mortgage against
the bridge.
The bonds are to be retired as
rapidly as possible through the
charge Of State tolls, and as soon
as the bridge is freed of the mort
gage it will become a free bridge.
1t is understood the highway COM
mission is cooperating with a bank
ing firm which will supply the
money for the bridges at about 5
per cent interest.
The Indiana bridges are to be at
Evansville and Rockport, across the
Ohio; at Vincennes, across the Wa
bash to Illinois, and at Lawrence
burg, near Cincinnati, across the
Little Miami.

Oil King May Go to Cell
Indefinitely If U. S.
Wins in Case.
COURT TO ACT NEXT
Grand Jury Action Is Not
Double Jeopardy Says
Prosecutor.
BY HERBERT LITTLE
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-Col
Robert w. Stewart, Standard Oil
chief, has put off the Senates ques-
tons about the continental Deal
by perhaps as much as two years
by an appeal, but at the same time
has opened the Senate'S way to i'm
prison him unlimitedly if his ap-
peals fail and he persists in refusal
to testify
Senate legal authorities explained
today that if and when his appeals
from the adverse habeas corpus de-
cision Of Thursday fail, the oil king
can be imprisoned Indefinitely as a
Senate coercive measure provided he
continues to defy questioners.
Question Up i'll Courts
This is in addition to the punitive
action now pending before the
grand jury for contempt of the
Senate, for which, if convicted,
Stewart can be given definite
prison term. Harry F. Sinclair is
now free on bond from two such
sentences, one for three months for
Senate contempt, and one for six
months for contempt of court in
jury shadowing.
Special Oil Prosecutor Owen j.
Roberts and other legal authorities
have advised Senate leaders that no
double jeopardy" Of Stewards lib
erty is involved in such actions, al
though both arose from his refusal
to tell the Senate Teapot Dome COM
mittee what he knew about the dis
posal of the Continental Trading
Companys $3,O80,000 in Liberty bond
profits.
The grand jury action, now eX-
pected to result in a Senate con-
tempt indictment next Monday, il
punitive" while the Senate action
seeking to obtain answers to the
same questions is "coercive," Roberts
explained.
Test of Senate's Power
The punitive power has been up
held many times, and Senate lead
ers expect another affirmation by
the District of Columbia Court OF
Appeals and the United States Su-
preme Court in the Sinclair con-
tempt case, and in the Stewart con-
tempt case if the Standard of In
diana executive is convicted and
appeals.
But the coercive power of the
Senate has not been tested, and
leaders in the oil investigations are
anxious to set a precedent in Stew
arts habeas corpus appeal, which
resulted'"from the Senates attempt
to arrest Stewart and hale him be-
fore it for further questioning.
The courts repeatedly have used
this power, committing witnesses to
jail until they decided to testify
and the Senate leaders believe the
highest house of Congress, sitting as
a court. can carry out its mandates
In similar fashion.

APPEAL PUTS OFF JAIL PENALTY TWO YEAR
Guard DOZEN
OFFICIALS FROM
CHICAGO BOMBS
High Explosives Expected to
Play Part in Spring PO-
IitiCaI Campaign.

By United Press
CHICAGO, Feb .24.-Holnes of
nearly a dozen Chicago and Cook
County officials were under police
guard today in response to bomb
threats.
The spring political campaign
seemed to be starting with every
indication that high explosives as
well as speeches would be used in
an attempt to influence the result
of the balloting.
Homes of three city officials and
one political leader not now in Of
flee have been bombed in the last
two months. At least four more Of
ficials have been threatened.
Grove Up for Re- Election
Although only one major city or
county Office is at stake in the 1928
election, the underworld, fighting
for its life against a determined
police drive, seemed determined to
show its strength by as vigorous &C
tivity as though more important Of
fees were involved.
States Attorney Robert E. Grove
is the only prominent official who
must seek denomination at the polls
in April and reelection in the fall.
Grove repeatedly has been threat
ened with bombs, but his guards
and his political dominance over
the Italian colony have combined
to save him from actual attack.
Mayor Is Threatened
Mayor William Hale Thompson
also has been threatened.
The officials who received both
threats and bombs were:
Charles Fitzmorris, city controller
and vice mayor.
John Sbarbo, municipal judge.
Larry Cuneo, secretary to Grove
and, Incidentally, the States attor-
ney's brother-in-law.
DR.. w. H. Reid, prominent in the
Thompson organization.
Recently Dan Seritella, city sealer,
and Morris Eller, city purchasing
agent, have been threatened by
bombers. Former Municipal Judge
Bernard Barasa denied reports
that he had been threatened.

JAIL OFFICIAL
DENIES Steve
is MISTREATED
Laughs at Reported
Charges of Torture Made
by Prisoner.

Indiana State Prison officials to-
day denied that D. G. Stephenson
former Indiana Khan dragon and
life-termer at the Michigan City in
stitution, is a victim of treatment
that will subject him to either death
or insanity.
The denial came from Deputy
Warden H. G. Claudy, in reply to
reports current throughout the State
the last few days that Stephenson
has made remarks that officials are
trying either to kill me or drive me
insane"
Claudy said, There's nothing to
that" and laughed. He is acting in
Warden Walter H. Days place dur
ing his absence from Michigan City
Steve Tells Story
1t is reported the statement has
been made twice with detailed &C
count of the alleged mistreatment.
Stephenson is supposed to have
said he has been placed in a soil
tary, damp cell several times and
forced to go without bedding or
clothing. According to the reports,
the life-termer is nude when placed
in the cell and a draft is blown
through it in order to make the dis
comfort keener.
At night, it is said, he is not sup
piled with a bed or chair. but Is
forced to lie on the cement floor.
In telling his story Stephenson is
said to have stated he believes the
purpose of the alleged miStreatment
is to drive him insane.
No Action by Jackson
Stephenson, in telling the story,
is said to have declared he did not
believe the purpose was death, as
he asserted some persons thought,
because there might be a reaction
to his death throughout the State,
although an autopsy might show
natural death through FLU" or
rheumatism.
The prisoner this week filed a pc
tition with Governor Ed Jackson
to be removed from the State Prison
to the Indiana Reformatory. His
petition is based on alleged threats
of mistreatment which the life
termer averred we're made If he
testified in the trial of Jackson in
Criminal Court last week.
Stephenson was known to have
been in great fear of his personal
and physical safety when here and
refused to testify until persuaded
to do so by his local attorneys.
Jackson has not indicated what
he will do with the petition.

ADVENTURE TO
FIGHT SHARK AS
AID To SCIENCE
Wealthy New Yorker Will
Tempt Tiger of Seas
to Prove Point.

~ CnUCd PTcSS
NEW YORK, Feb. 24.-Van Cam
pen Heilner of New York, wealthy
young adventurer, is on his way to
the Bahamas TO offer himself as
shark bait. He believes that only
the white shark will attack a white
man, and intends to prove it.
If shark attacks him while he
is swimming in the tropical waters,
the expedition will have been a
complete success. If it turns up it's
nose at such an unusual titbit, he
will be disappointed greatly.
Van Camper EIeilile1- has been
living on excitement for most Of
his twenty-eight years. Scarcely a
month has passed without some ex-
citing experience. He prefers to call
himself fisherman and an ex-
plorer. But science knows him as
naturalist. hunter and author of
international reputation.
He is field representative for
the American Museum of Natural
History and a fellow of the Royal
Geographical and Archaeological
Societies.
Went Into Movies
At 10, he left home to go into
the movies. For a year he made
western thrillerS at Culver City. A
little later, in 1923, he made voy-
age Of 1000 miles in little forty
seven-foot motor yacht, the Neo-
enthe II
Starting from Atlantic City, he
sailed to Venezuela. It was the
smallest boat that ever had made
the trip; and there was no radio
equipment to add security to the
venture.
Once in Florida he had hand
tc-hand encounter with an alli-
gator and escaped by stabbing it in
an eye.
Bagged Huge Brown Bear
With field expeditions in the
Arctic, Heilner has hunted with bow
and arrow and has harpooned
whales. In the summer of 1927 he
went into the Alaskan Peninsula and
bagged specimen of the great brown
bear, largest of all carnivorous ami
mails.
So he's going to the Bahamas for
further sport. even if he has TO
tempt a shark to nibble at his legs.
While swimming in the islands he
will attempt to raise several cannon
which he believes once were lost in q
sea engagement with the pirate
Blackboard"
Several years ago, while studying
tropical fish life, he discovered the
cannon on a coral reef in forty feet
Of water and marked the spot on a
map.
Wants Information on Shark
And I'm going to decide once
and for ALL" he said, whether or
not shark will attack a human
being.
I'm going to get in the water
and swim around. There will be
motion picture camera man in a
glass-bottomed boat who will follow
me around and grind out the true
story of what different kinds Of
sharks think of man as a hors
d'oeuvre.
"Of course, I'll carry a sharp
dagger. If one or more of them
starts after me, things ought to be
interesting.
Il think we'll come back with
Photographic proof that only this
white shark and the barracuda are
dangerous to white men," he said.
But whatever we find, the results
will be Of scientific value"
