GangSter Trio Is Thought
Trapped on Highway
Near City.

Believed cornered on highways be-
tween Indianapolis and Allisonville,
three bandits who this morning
robbed the Fishers State bank,
fifteen miles northeast Of the city,
were trying desperately early this
afternoon to elude deputy Sheriffs
and residents of Fishers.
Trailed by enc of two automobiles
that pursued them out of Fishers,
the bandits came to Indianapolis
city limits, wheeled around, and
started back toward AllisonvilIe, the
purSuers car clinging tenaciously
to their trail.
Meanwhile Marion county
Sheriff's emergency bearing armed
deputies, joined the hunt.
Asking change for a 81 bill, a
few minutes after II a. m, two OF
the bandits held up Miss Vera Mol
lenkops, assistant cashier, and Mrs.
Goldie Woods, special bank en-
ploye in the absence of A. P. Butz,
cashier, and forced them into the
bank vault.
They gathered up s1,750 in cash
and $4,000 in bonds, most Of which
are negotiable, bank officials say.
They overlooked an added $1,750
in cash. With the third member
of the gang at the wheel, they
sped west out of the village, to-
ward the Allisonville road.
Bob Johnson, Fishers garageman,
heard the alarm given by the wom-
en- as they ran from the bank, and
started in pursuit Of the green
Chevrolet sedan in which the ban
dts fed.
Milo Booth, another garageman,
in his car. also followed the bandit
machine, less than half mile be-
hind it. With him was Howard
Flanders, of Fishers. None Of the
pursuers was armed.
Reaching the Allisonville road
the bandits turned toward Indian
apolis. Sensing pursuit as they
neared the city, they stopped

wards AlliSonyille.

Sinclair NeUer
in Jail at AU'

Harry F.. Sinclair never was
in jail at all"
That's a rather surprising
statement, considering the fact
that the multi-millionaire Oil
man served some five months
in the District Of Columbia
Jail following his conviction of
contempt of the United States
senate.
It is made, however, by a
man who was a fellow-in-
mate of that jail at the time
Sinclair was confined there
"a man who saw Sinclair
while he was in jail and saw
just how he was treated.
Here is what he says:
Harry Sinclair was never
in jail at all, as 999 out of
1000 Jail prisoners under
stand that term"
This Is the high-light of a
special series of stories that
The Times will print, beginning
Wednesday; a series written
by a man who was in Jail while
Sinclair was in Jail, giving-for
the first time-the full story Of
the oil mans confinement.
They present the answer to
the question: What happens
when $50,00O,000 goes to jail?"
These articles are not an
attempt to expose" anything.
They are not filled with criti-
cism or complaint. They are
scrupulously fair.
Nothing more interesting will
be printed in newspapers for a
long time than this series.

DEFENDED BY
III. DIRECTOR
Little Chance of Abolition
While He Heads Board,
Asserts Fesler.
ASTOUNDED By ATTACK
Few Hours Training Does
Not Breed MiIitariSm,
Is View.

Abolition of compulsory military
training at Indiana university, as
asked by editors Of the Indiana
Daily Student, stands small chance
as long as James w. Fesler of IN
dianapolis remains chairman Of
the board of trustees.
Fesler, prominent member of the
state and local bar and noted
utilities attorney, expressed sur
prise at the cttack on the Reserve
officers Training Corps appearing
in the I. U. student publication last
week.
The campus daily charged the
military system at I. U. is making
robots and urged its abolition.
Trustees have taken great pride
in the military corps at Indiana uni
versity," Fesler declared.
Ignorant of DisfavOr
"Of course I have heard attacks
against student military training
from various persons throughout the
state, but didn't know that it met
with any disfavor on the campus.
81 know that Colonel Robinson,
now in charge there, is very popular
with the students, as were his prede-
ceSsorS, Majors O'Brien and Crea.
I'm my opinion, there is no dan
ger of building any military sys-
tenn by few hours training week.
1t does the student good, building
him up physically and reaching
many who would not get the exer-
else otherwise.
ST am only sorry that I didn't
have such opportunity when 1 was
in college"
UpholdS Rule
Refusing to predict the position of
trustees generally, Fesler asserted
that he is opposed to any change in
the present r. o. T. c. status at the
school. He will uphold the COM
pulsory rule, he declared.
The Washington Birthday edition
Of the Daily Student contained an
other editorial attack on student
military training. The editorial was
titled "PrussianiSm" and was a short
quotation from the Rev. Harry
Emerson Fosdick, noted Baptist di-
vine and pastor of the Rockefeller
church in New York. It reads as
follows:
I'VE defeated Prussia outwardly
and then we were defeated by
Prussia outwardly - by Prussia's
military spirit. Think Of our hay
ing our high schools and colleges
converted into miniature West
Points and our school grounds into
parade grounds. Let the war de-
partment keep its hands off that
civic citadel"
Recognizes Press Right
Fesler asserted that the ira
ditional American idea of free
press" should be extended to the
Indiana Daily Student and de-
Tended the student editors right to
take up controversial subjects, such
as student military training.
II do not think that university
trustees or the faculty should
exercise any censorship in the pub
lication of such matters he de-
clared.

ment of Indiana university.

electric train of five coaches were
doing as the train sped toward
Chicago at fifty miles an hour.
There was a jar and then roar
as the train left the rails and dived
into an eight-foot ditch.
1t had struck a sedan driven by
Norman SINNERS of Milwaukee. The
train tossed the automobile against
a long electric freight that was
passing the Washington road cross
ing.
Ground TO Bits
The sixteen-car freight buckled,
its cars striking the passenger train
like battering rams. The automo-
bile literally was ground to pieces
and its fragments were so scattered
among the debris that it was i'm
possible to tell them from other
wreckage.
SINNERS, who had an undeter-
mined number of persons in his
machine, was killed outright, as
were at least ten of the passengers
on the train. The only passenger
identified was Mrs. Evelyn Metzger,
of 1919 Wilson avenue, Chicago. She
was riding in the front coach. 1t
and the next one were twisted into
a maze of steel and. wood and it
was in those two coaches that most
of the dead we're found.
Flames Add to Menace
Freight cars burst into flames and
doctors, nurses, ambulance drivers
and wrecking crews who rushed to
the scene from here and nearby
towns toiled in the glare. Soon the
blaze whipped near the wrecked
passenger coaches, adding the peril
of burning to death and a fire alarm
was turned in.
The clang of the fire engines
mingled with the screams of the
dying and seriously injured. Above
the turmoil rose shouts of rescue
workers, besieged by the scores of
cut and bruised.
Officials of the electric road said
It was miracle all of the coaches
did not overtmn when they
plunged into the ditch alongside the
tracks. To that freak of the wreck
they attributed the fact that scores
were not killed or far more seriously
injured.
