YOUTH KILLED ON WAY
HOME AFTER FISHING
Hopping Of Interurban Car Brings
Death at South Bend.

SOUTH BEND. Ind, June 16.-
The body of a youth found dead
Monday evening beside the North
ern Indiana Railways, Inc, right OF
way near the Fisher street crossing,

Demski. II, South Bend, after a
companion, whose name was not

The youth went to the home of

her he believed the youth at a
funeral home was her brother. They
went there together and identified
the body. The youth said he and
Demsh had been fishing. When
they were ready to start home the
youth told DemSH he had but 20
cents, enough to pay his own fare
to South Bend on an interurban car
Demski, he said, suggested he would
hop the car when it stopped to al
low the other boy to get on.
The companion did not see Dem
ski after that. The tragedy is be-
lieved to have occurred when the
boy was thrown from the car while
it was travelling at high speed.
Death of the boy cast double
gloom over the home of the father
Harry Demski, the only other son
in the family, ran away from home
recently and has not been heard
from since.

Stock Furry Tariff Show,
Says Representative Wood.

WASHINGTON, June 18.-In-
ternat.onal financiers who sought to
make a political play and influence
President Herbert Hoover against
the tariff bill manipulated the drop
in the stock market late last week
Representative Will R. Wood Of In

81 have raeson to believe John J.
Raskob, big business representative
who is chairman of the Democratic
national committee, had part in
this stock market drop, staged to
give an impression the new tariff
law is one not good for business,
Wood declared.
Business is bound to Improve as
soon as this tariff law becomes eff
fective and the stock market in due
time will respond to the improve
ment.
Il think I will be able to prove
the professional bearish demonstra-
ton was stage stuff, designed te
scare of a signing Of the bill and to

Surprises at the good luck that
crowned him city marbles king was
Jimmy Whites answer to admirers
who congratulated him today, fol-
lowing his winning The Indianapolis
Times city-wide marble tournament
at Willard park Tuesday.
That skill could have had any
thing to do with his defeating more
than one hundred marble aces, sew
eral of whom were champs in their
line, seems never to have occurred
to this shy, tanned boy of II.
Although he had played marbles
for several years at Willard park
and Holy Gross Catholic school, this
was the first contest he ever had
entered.
Feted by Pals
Jimmie, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles White, 65 South Arsenal
avenue, was the hero in his neigh
borhood today. He had plenty of
pop and ice cream, for all his pals
were wanting to "set EN- up"
Like a real hero, though, Jimmie
retired from his baseball am. other
sports to start practicing for play
in the national marble tourney to
be held at Ocean City, N. j., next
week. He will leave here Saturday
on the trip east, with all expenses
paid by The Times.
"I sure am surprised that all this
luck should have come to me-" the
champ declared, when informed of
the tour which will take him to
Valley Forge Sunday and on Mon
day to Ocean City, NJ j., where he
will enjoy fishing, boating and ex-
cursion trips to points of interest.
Plays in East
He will play marbles with other
entrants in the national tourney.
The finals, to be held Friday, June
q, will be broadcast over the Co.
lumbia chain of radio stations.
Robert Lynch, IL, of 1914 East
Vermont street, was second high
contender for the city champion
ship. After twelve, rings of con-
testants had been narrowed by
elimination to the two flnalists,
Jimmie and Robert met in the last
contest, in which Jimmie won two
games out of three, by scores Of
8 to and 10 to 3, respectively.

ON MAYPOLE
9-Year-0I Child Crushed
as Steel Standard at
Spades Park Snaps.
SECTION FOUND ERODED
Tragedy Is First Serious
Playground Accident
in Several Years.

Witnesses appeared before Mayor
Reginald H. Sullivan and park
board members today in the probe
to fix responsibility for the tragedy
in Spades park playground Tues
day night, when a Maypole snapped
fatally injuring Mary Thomas, y
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. j. w
Thomas, 1928 East Tenth street.
The accident, the worst in the
city's playground history. resulted
in an investigation by city Of
ficials. the coroner's Office and ar
inspection of equipment in each OF
the city's Fairgrounds by police to-
day.
Check Defect Cause
Probers were to determine whether
rust had eroded the pole or the
steel had crystallized causing the
defect that resulted in the poles
giving way.
Investigators today found d sec
ton of the pole was eroded about
two inches below the segment be-
meath the concrete base.
Officials said hoodlums have been
wrecking equipment in Fairgrounds
and an order was issued to all in
structors to guard against further
accidents.
The girl was swinging on the pole
with her sister, Artlee, ID, and her
brother Charles, IL, when the &C
cident occurred.
According to statements of per-
sons at the park, the pole snapped
at the base. On orders of Lieutenant
Frank Owen and David Kilgore,
recreation director, the section that
broke was taken to the Brookside
park shop pending the investlga-
ton.
owen said he had checked the
pole last June and it seemed in good
condition. Kigore declared orders
were issued a few hours before the
tragedy for removal of the pole in
order to cut them down so older
children could not use them.
A bystander carried the injured
child to Paul Stanley. 19. of 1924
North Gale street, playground in
structor. He said the girl was in
iured so seriously it was impossible
for him to give her first aid.
She died shortly after the acci-
dent in the Office of DR.. John Little,

The girls brother and sisters were
bewildered with fright and were I'M
able to tell their parents what had
happened. James Thomas, "a, an
elder brother, rushed to the city
hospital when he heard of the &C
cident. When he learned his sister
was not there he returned to the
playground to learn of her death
at the physicians Office.
OficiaIs said the Maypole was
one of many inherited" from
