LINK CITY men
IN BANK CASE
Two Check k-Kiting Suspects
Involved in SheIburn
Closing.

Two Indianapolis men who are
accused of check kiting are involved
in the investigation of the closing
of the Shelburn State bank, Shell
burn. Ind, last week, it was dis
closed today.
Although various officials in the
investigation have said that evil
dence clearly points to the men, no
move to arrest til en- has been made.
Their names are known to Police
Chief Claude NJ. Worley. He said
he. is ready to Arrest them with an
hours notice but has had no official
word from Shelburn that they are
wanted.
COnfeSseS Frauds
The Shelburn bank was closed by
directors Wednesday noon. after its
president, Jessup Bolinger, was
found suffering from monoxide poi
soning in his automobile in tightly
closed garage that morning.
Bolinger, revived, confessed he
had forged about $4,000 worth of
paper over a period of a year to
cover up money he had lost in vari-
Gus Speculations.
One of the Indianapolis men men,
toned in connection with the af-
fair Is real estate man and the
other an insurance man.
Bolinger's accident or suicide at
tempt, which definitely has not
been determined. followed by few
hours the tincing of the body of
Edgar D. Naples. president of
the Peoples National Bank and
Trust Company at Sullivan (six
miles distant) in railway of the
bank with a bullet wound in his
forehead.
Votes in Sullivan Bank
Investigators said that Bolinger
was mumbling Naples name when
he came out of the stupor due to the
monoxide poisoning. No attempt to
connect Bolinger with Naples death,
however, is being made.
Bollinger confessed that large
part of the paper he forged had
gone to Naples bank and he and
Naples had conferred on how he
(Bolinger) could replace it with
good paper. Naples was taking
steps to protect his own bank and
was duped by Bolinger, in the
opinion of Naples friends through
out Sullivan.
No new clews on Naples suicide
or murder have been unearthed.
The coroner officially has termed it
a murder.
Besides jsiling of Bolinger on a
forgery charge no move toward
prosecution has been made.

opposed to the 'home-run craze" ant
blamed the ball.
All remedies suggested with two Or
three exceptions. related to altering tt,
bail, discolorinr it, or keeping it in play
for longer periods. Several managers
thought the liveliness in hitting was
due to high visibility Of the ball, the
too frequent use of new balls in q
game, the employment Of an anti-gloss
process on the ball, and too great re-
strictions on the pitchers.
Following are some Of the opinions
Of the leaders:
Dan Howley. Browns: Il 60 along
with those who think the excessive
f1ome-run hitting Is running the game.
To my mind TIE increase in hitting Is
due to weaker pitching and the handi-
caps on the pitchers"
Connie Mack, Athletics: st cannot
see how high frequency home runs ere
hurting the game These outbreaks are
caused by weak pitching
Miller Higgins, Yankees: Home
run hitting, being spectacular, helps
the game"
Russell Blackhurne. White Soz: 81 be-
lieve the ball should be reduced In
lowed to remain in the game"
Walter Johnson, Senators: II would
keep balls in the game regardless Of
their condition This would make
pitchers more effective"
Roger Peckinpaush, Indians: "I don't
believe there should be any changes
regulating pitching, but the bah should
be deadened."

Wilbert Robinson, Robins: The home
run has become a joke. 1 believe the
umpires should treat the ball with dirt
before it is used
Donnie Bush. Pirates: Pitching is
the weakest department in base ball
Anything that could be done to help
the pitcher would be good thing"
Joe Mccarthy. Cubs: Home runs
don't hurt the game. The trouble is
not the ball, but restrictions on pitch
ing"
Jack Hendricks. Reds: Build ball
parks instead of bank boxes"
Emil Fuchs, Braves L believe the
spirit Of the day demands the lively
ball"
Bert shotton, Pills: Home run hit

John McGraw, Giants: The present
hitting is rYinous to the game. There
can be no doubt the present ball IS
livelier. Discoloring the balls might
help some"
