ter. If these rotten living condi-
tons remain to the winter, the
workers are going to be loudly
heard from.
The elementary need of work or
unemployment relief in the form of
trade union rate of wages while the
workers were working, is the need
of the present time. This demand
upon the municipal and federal gov
eminent must be pushed all over the
country with all possible speed. The
present ruling capitalist class will
not give any relief or material sup
port to the workers unless they
fight and demand it.

SHELBYVILLE, Ind, Jan. 13.-
Arrival here of Miss Juanita Kill
burn, South Bend, was awaited to-
day by two persons, who sought con-
flicting testimony from her concern
ing the robbery of the Falkland Ma
tional bank last Tuesday.
Loren McMinds, 90, Elwood, alias
Harry Moore, held here in lieu of
$4,000 bond on a charge of robbing
the bank, expects her to provide an
alibi for him, stating they were TO-
gether in Elwood when the rob-
berry was committed.
Sheriff George A. Nigh of Shelby
county says he hopes to gain from
her information that may lead to
arrest of two other men, who par
ticipated in the robbery, and pos
Sibly may obtain additional evidence
against McMinds.
McMinds teIegraphed Miss Kill
burn, whom he says is his sweet
heart, Sunday night, asking her to
come to Shelbyville. His sister, Mrs.
Myrtle Overton, Detroit, he says,
also was with him in Elwood at the
time of the robbery.
D. G. Gordon, bank cashier;
Charles Hughes, bookkeeper, and
Luther Abel, Falkland postmaster,
all of whom were in the bank when
the robbery occurred, Saturday
identified McMindS AS one of the
gunner.

SUGGEST BOOST
FOR DRY FUND
House Body Recommends
Two Million Raise.
BIZ United Press

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-Ex-
penditure of $34,428,777 for prohi-
bition enforcement during the next
fiscal year was recommended by the
house appropriations committee to-
day in it's report on the annual
postoff1ce and treasury department
supply bill. This is approximately
$2,500,O00 more than the govern
ment is spending on prohibition this
year.
In drafting the prohibition sec
lions of the Appropriation bill the
committee followed closely the rec
concentrations of President Hoover
in his budget message to congress.
The sum allotted to the prohibi-
ton bureau is exactly the same as
the bureau is spending this year
The coast guard allotment for anti
smuggling activities is increased
about 100000, however.
Senator Harris Oem., Ga.), con-
sidered the spokesman for extreme
congressional drys, already has an
nounced he will seek to increase the
prohibition ubureau's enforcement,
regardless of opposition from the
administration, when the bill reaches
the senate. The house is expected
to accept the committees recon-
mendation without serious objection,
however.

RENEW HUNT FOR

Search for Richard McNeese and

wanted for banditry and murder in
Kentucky, was renewed in Indian

son, Louisville cab driver, was held
up by two men answering descrip-
tons of the wanted pair.
Thompson, engaged by the two
men at 100 this morning at Louis
vile to drive to the Log Cabin inn
near JefferSonville, was menaced
with guns after crossing the bridge
at Louisville and was forced into
the back seat of the cab.
One bandit held the gun on
Thompson while the other drove to
Indianapolis. On Meridian street
half a mile south of Troy avenue,
the two forced him from the cab

EPIDEMIC ORDER
GIVEN SCHOOLS
Board Takes Precautions as
Institutions Open.

With public, parochial and pri-
vate schools reopening today, addi-
tional precautions were taken by
health authorities against the
spread of spinal meningitis.
The school board ordered princi-
pals of schools to give special at
tention to ventilation and heating
of school rooms, to insure pure air
as a protection to children. School
nurses and doctors will keep care
full check on the various schools for
an outbreak of the disease.
Hazel Silcox, 4, of 1407 English
avenue, today was reported as the
seventy-third person here to become
ill with meningitis. She is in city
hospital.
Thomas Falvey, 80, of 1868 Mil
burn street; Rudell Belt, 3, Negro,
400 Douglass street, and Frank
Sullivan, 4. Negro, 1416 East Mary
land street, were the first persons
with the malady to be dismissed
from the hospital in the last month.
They have been freed of the menin-
gifts germ.
Anna Hooker, 48, of 515 East new
York street, died Saturday from
meningitis, increasing the total
deaths to fifty-one. Alice Reams, 4
months old, 319 North Arlington
avenue, died from Streptococcic
meningitis, a noncontagious form,
different from that causing the
epidemic.
Death of John Lochmondy, s.,
the first victim Of the disease at
South Bend, and death of Charles
Pinkston, 3, at Evansville, were re-
ported to the state health board.

While the COMMIT SSlOn did not
make the slightest mention or even
hint at any modification of the law,
its discussion of the American at
titude toward laws regulating per-
sonal conduct, containing historical
background, was regarded as sig
nif1cant in connection with it's ad-
mission of the magnitude Of the
problem and the present condition
Of enforcement.
The commission advised congress,
"If on no other grounds than to
give the law a fair trial." to mend
four weak spots in prohibition en-
forcement by adopting the follow
ing measures, one of them requir-
ing radical changes in legal pro-
cedure:
Points Outlined
1. Transfer the investigation of
prohibition violations and the
preparation of cases against Of
tenders from the treasury to the
justice department.
2. Codify all federal prohibition
legislation.
3. Make paddock injunctions more
effective.
4. Relieve congestion in the fed
eral courts by one of three ex-
pedients; preferably by prosecuting
casual or slight" violations with
out indictment with penalty for
such violations limited to $500 fine
or six months in Jail, which would
require authorizing legislation by
congress.
The commission did not report,
as expected upon the proposal to
unity border patrol agencies under
the plan being discussed by the
treasury with Canadian officials.
Some members of the commission,
it is understood, are little hesitant
about the wisdom of this move and
want to give it further study.
The commission, including many
nationally known jurists, was
headed by George w. Wickersham,
former encouragement. Both
houses of congress received copies
of the report at noon today from
President Hoover.
Legislation Pledged
The recommendation for tight
ening dry enforcement are expected
to go to the proper house commit
tees for prompt action. House lead
erS are understood to have pledged
Mr.. Hoover their support in putting
the commissions communications
on the statute books. The senate,
preponderantly dry, likewise is ex-
pected to pass the requested laws
and amendments.
Delving deep into the social and
political background of prohibition
observance by American citizens, the
commission said:
To reach conclusions of any
value, we must go into deep ques-
lions of public opinion and the
criminal law. We must look into
the several factors in the attitude of
the people, both generally and in
particular localities, toward laws in
general and toward specific regula-
TONS"
The commission said it was un-
able to find any reliable figures"
to show the size of the prohibition
enforcement problem. The ere
ported arrests" of 10000 persons in
the United States during the last
fiscal year, however, indicates a
