FATHER AVERTS
KIDNAP KILLING
Finds Youth Preparing to
Stay His Child.

BJ United Press
BATTLE CREEK, Mich, Feb. 10.
Intensive search was made today
for a youth who kidnapped 5-year-
old Helen Gillett and was prepar-
ing, apparently, to murder her with
a butcher knife, when discovered
by her father.
The man hunt started when Wal
ton Gillet. local factory worker, re-
ported to police that Lester Daniels,
81, seized his daughter while she
was at play and took her to a
shack, where he held her prisoner.
Gillett said he went in search of
the child when she failed to answer
his calls for supper late yesterday.
He went to the rear of his home, he
told police, and when he ap-
preached the shack at the alley, he
heard his daughter screaming in
fright.
The door was fastened from the
inside, he said, and it was necessary
for him to break it open. When
he did so. he faced the startled
youth, holding a long butcher knife
between his teeth as he held the
child.
Gillett said Daniel escaped after
threatening to kill him with the
knife. Helen's clothing had been
torn from her body and her arms
we're bruised severely. Otherwise,
she was uninjured.

SEE RELIEF IN
TEST WELLS
County Commissions Agree
on SunnySide Project.

Test wells to determine possibility
OF alternating the shortage of water
supply at Sunnyside tuberculosis
sanatorium will be resorted to, coun-
ty commissioners agreed today.
After a conference with the board
OF managers Of the Sanatorium and
DR.. Harold s. Hatch. superintendent,
it was decided to lose no time.
A report Of Homer Rupard. en-
g1neer OF the Indianapolis Water
Company, who inspected the grounds
this week, recommended the employ
ment Of a consulting engineer. No
move to follow this recommendation
was made.
In the meanwhile, the 300 bed in
stitution continues to operate at less
than one-third capacity, due to lack
of water.
DR.. Hatch indicated one of the two
wells now out of commission may be
reconditioned by early next week,
allowing some Of the patients to re-
turn.
Fire hazard was pointed out In the
engineers report. Sunnyside Is prac-
tically without fire protection. The
one well now producing gives water
enough only for the ninety patients
and the storage tank holds only
$4,000 gallons.
A $4,000 gallon tank is needed for
fire protection at an institution that
size, the report said.

SLACK WON'T
BACK ANY ONE
IN PRIMARIES
Mayor Will Announce His
Choices After Ballot
in May.

Mayor l.. Ert Slack, Democrat, will
not support any Democratic candi-
dates in the primary, he declared to-
day.
II will tell you my Governor and
Senate choices after the May pri-
mary. I am taking no part in the
primary fight" Slack said.
Slack made the statement follow
ing a ruInor that he had split with
Leroy j. Reach, county Democratic
chairman, over handing out city hall
jobs to Democrats.
The mayors assertion was taken
to mean that the few Democrats at
city hall would not give any united
support to those seeking Democratic
nominations
Most of Stacks Democratic ap-
pointees have not been strict organ
iZation workers.
Democratic leaders have shown
concern over the fact that Slack has
refused to GUST all city hall Repub-
licans and replace them with Demo-
Gratis.
Their protests have been regis
tered with Reach, who is unable TO
convert Slack to the notion that
more Democratic jobs should be
passed out to party wheel horses"
The mayors delay in wedding
out" Republicans is believed due to
litigation which clouds his title to
office.
Slack, who repeatedly has de-
clared he did not desire to build I'D
a POLITICAL organization with city
employees, laughs over charges that
he and John w. Hoffman, Demo-
cratic corporation counsel, are form
ing a new Democratic faction pre-
liminary to the coming election.
When he took office, Slack de-
clared his purpose in accepting the
task was to resell" Indianapolis
and prepare city government for the
city manager form in 1880.

SMITH AGAIN IN
SENATE RACE
Solid Party Backing Seen
for Candidate.
By United Press

SPRINGFIELD, Ill, Feb. TO-
The confused Illinois senatorial sit
uation was thrown to the voters of
the State for solution today through
the resignation, reappointment, and
announcement of candidacy for re-
election to the Senate of Frank l..
Smith.
Smith will go before the voters on
the issue of the States right to elect
its own senator without approval
Of the Senate, which refused to seat
him.
Smiths action was believed to
have been in keeping with advice
Of Governor Small and Mayor VIII
liam Hale Thompson of Chicago
that he keep his case out of the
courts.
1t also was believed Smith would
not attempt to gain recognition by
the Senate on the basis of his re-
appointment to fill the vacancy
caused by his resignation.
His denomination, political OBJ
servers said, virtually was assured,
since it was believed Senator
Charles S. Denee of Illinois, who
backed Smith in his fight to obtain
his place in Congress, would join
with the organized vote Of all fac
tons in the State Republican
ranks,

QUARTER MILLION TAKEN BY
THIEVES SO FAR THIS YEAR:
Police ARE HOT ON HEELS
Law Trails LaWIeSSneSS;
Auto Thefts Reason
for Boost.

Indianapolis thieves have started
out on busy year. Police, too,
have been buster this year than last,
but not quite as successful as the
light fingered gentry, records of De-
tective Chief Jerry Kinney show.
SO far this year $280,192 worth OF
property has been stolen in Indian
apolis. OF this, 1927, 400 has been
recovered.
Last year at this time 1929, 1924
worth had been stolen and only
$189,628 recovered.
This means that thieves have in
creased their activities 81 per cent.
Police have increased recovery Of
stolen property 10 per cent.
Increase in number Of automobiles
stolen is responsible for increase IN
the loot total, according to Kinney.
Recover $50 Stolen Cars
SO far this year 416 machines have
been stolen. OF these, $50 have been
recovered. Last year S71 had been
stolen and BIT recovered.
Most Of the machines were stolen
by joyriding youths and found
wrecked or stripped Of accessories
a few days later. The forty-f1ve
stolen this year not yet recovered
probably have been driven out Of
the State or kept here and so dis
guised that they cannot be recog-
nized, Kinney said.
There have been twenty-seven ar
rests this year for vehicle taking
Last year there were twenty.
Investigate More Cases
A total Of 1882 cases has been in
vestigated by police this year. Last
year the number to date was 976.
Burglaries this year total 220,
compared with 156 last year; bur-
glary arrests number twenty-one,
compared with eighteen in 1928;
robberies eighty-nine, compared
with ninety-nine; miscellaneous
felonies 512, compared with 483, and
miscellaneous nisdemeanors fly
seven, compared with forty-seven.
Theft Of women's clothing is on
the increase here, according to Kin
ney. Burglars and sneak thieves
seem to have a yearning for wom-
ems coats, hats, dresses, silk hose
and undertakings, he said.
