Vote to Extend / te When
Daylight Saving Be-
comes Effective.

City cOuncilmen who favor de-
/ flying the state law and attempt
/ ing to put daylight saving in force
in Indianapolis again this year we're
marking time today, having avoided
an open stand on the question at
Thursday nights special meeting.
The councils only action on the
fast time problem Thursday was
to adopt an amendment to the
present ordinance, extending the
date when daylight saving would
be effective under the present city
ordinance to the second Sunday in
June. The ordinance now sets the
second Sunday in May as the date
to change the clocks.
The council set back the effective
date because the state law prohibit
ing daylight saving in Indianapolis
/ has not yet gone into effect and if
/ the old ordinance stood unamended
the city might have had few days
of early time between next Sunday
and the date the state laws are
/ promulgated.

Mayor L. Ert Slack had the
amendment ordinance before him
! today, asserting he had plenty Of
time to consider it and would not
make up his mind right away.
The council took no action upon
/ the ordinance to repeal the whole

BIZ United Press
BROCKTON, Mass, May 10.-A
terrific explosion at 2:2O p. m. to-
day wrecked the plant of the Ma
tional Fireworks Company at South
Hanover, thirteen miles from here.
Early reports indicated that many
persons might have been killed or
injured but authoritative informa-
ton was not Immediately available.
Although the plant is thirteen
miles from Brockton, the explosion
was heard in some of the outlying
sections Of this city.
At 2:35 p. m. the Brockton hos
pital received a telephone call from
the Hanover police, asking that the
emergency room be prepared to ac-
cOmmodate several injured.
Three ambulances we're sent to
South Hanover from this city.
Telephone reports received here
stated that the territory between
Brockton and South Hanover was
rocked by the blast as though by
a small earthquake.
1A1A WdS uollCQ 1lOiIi ulA4o JAuJs
Reports received here stated thai
the National Fireworks plant had
begun work on its Fourth of July
orders and was operating with vir-
tually a full complement of
employees.
1t was estimated that seventy-five
to 100 persons we're working at the
plant at the time of the blast.
The plant consists of several small
cement and wooden structures and
covers a considerable area.
A newspaper correspondent at
South Hanover telephoned the Office
of the Brockton Enterprise at 2:45
p. m. that the explosion had oc-
CURED in the powder mill of the
plant and that the building had
been completely wrecked.
The correspondent stated there
evidently had been several fatalities.
Fire which followed the blast was
still raging at that hour making it
impossible to determine the exact
extent of the disaster.

TORSO SUSPECT
WANTED HERE
Former City Man Identified
in Abduction Case.

After an extensive search, county
authorities have found a young wo-
man, now residing in Marion, but
formerly an Indianapolis resident,
who has identified Leland w. Abb
bott, held in Los Angeles in connec-
ton with the sensational torso muir
der there, as the man who abducted
her on the north side, June II,
1928.
The girl is Miss Jessie Stevens, %,
who according to John G. Willis,
criminal court investigator, formerly
resided at 1865 Guilford avenue.
An affidavit charging Abbott with
assault and battery and attempted
attack was to be filed in criminal
court this afternoon. A wire was
sent to Los Angeles police, asking
them to hold Abbott if he was not
charged with the California murder
charge.
Abbott is the son of Mrs, Charles
A. Wenz, 1915 East Washington
street, who has emphatically denied
her son has any connection with
the murder. Abbott formerly was
a member of the North Side patrol,
which operated similarly to the
County Horsethief Detective Asso-
ciation.
He was arrested in Los Angeles
after the torso of a woman's body,
believed to be that of his estranged
wife, was found.
According to Willis. Miss Stevens
was waiting on. a north side street
for young man, when Abbott
stopped his car and spoke to her.
She has asserted she believed Alb
bott to be her "date" and did not
discover the error until she was in
the car.

WU-LU, a Pekinese pup may
w be worth $75 to his owner,
Thomas D. Barr, assistant state

on a SIS offer and he may not even

These were bits from the testi-

Municipal Field Must Be
Rushed to Get Place on
Universal Route.

Whether indianapolis is made a
stop on new passenger air line to
be opened soon by Universal Avia-
ton Corporation from Cleveland to
st. Louis and Kansas City, depends
on when the municipal airport is
available, it was learned today.
Donald M Ewing of the company,
today announced the line will pass
directly over indianapolis, but added
that before this city is made a stop
suitable landing field for Uni
versals huge tri-motored planes
must be available.
80 far we have had great deal
of difficulty in securing a suitable
landing field at indianapolis" he
said.
Universal is one of the largest air
line operators in the country.
1t maintains passenger plane
service from Chicago to Cleveland
by way Of Toledo; from Chicago to
Rochester, Minneapolis and st. Paul,
from Chicago to st. Louis, and from
st. Louis to Kansas City.
The company also operates air
mail routes from Louisville to Cleve-
land by way of Cincinnati, Dayton,
Columbus and Akron, and from st.
Louis to Chicago by way of SPRING
field and Peoria, Ill
The S693,000 municipal airport
bond issue is to be sold Nav Is bv
the city.
City officials pointed out that the
first thing to be done after ac-
QIiring title to the tract Of nearly
1000 acres is to make an accurate
survey showing draining and sur
facing requirements.
From present indications the air
port should be ready for use by the
middle of June.

Then came Egan's arrest on an
affidavit fled by the state official
and the trial today before Judge

Two chorus girls from a bur-
lesque troupe at an indianapolis
theater were witnesses.
Miss Cleo DuMont of the Ed
wards hotel, related she spurned
Egan's offer to sell her the dog,
because I was afraid of it."
But to pretty Miss Bobbie
White, Miss DuMont's chum and
fellow-chorine, Wu-Lu represent
ed attainment Of life long ambi-
ton.
Her offer of IS was excepted by
Eagen, she said, and So was paid
in cash with promise OF 50 more
next nav day."

Chorus Girl Got SIS Wu-Lu for SIS,
but Maybe His Theft Isn't Larceny

Miss White turned the dog over
to Barr when she learned its
rightful ownership.
But whether Eagan will be con-
victed on the larceny charge re-
mained a moot question"
His attorney, Delbert o. Will
meth, contended his client was
not guilty because Wu-Lu had not
been listed for taxation and so did
not constitute property. Prose
cutor Charles S. Wiltsie Jr. ar
gued the Bars had not been back
from Florida long enough to at
tend to this detail.
Wilmeth is to submit briefs to
judge and prosecutor before May
25, when judgment is to be
entered.
The 81 harness may decide
the case.
