Girl BreatheS Five Minutes
Without Aid; Recovery
Seems Assured.
BIZ United Press

BIZ United Press
CHICAGO, Sept. 24-Miss Fran
ces McGann, student nurse who is
being kept alive by mechanical
lung" virtually was assured Of ulti-
mate recovery today when she was
able to breathe without the use of
the respirator.
She was taken from the Drinker
machine, the steel chamber in which
she has been confined for twelve
days, for the test of her strength.
The muscular tension which had
stopped the action of her lungs
when she was stricken with infan-
tile paralysis was found to have
relaxed slightly. She was able to
breathe for intervals as long as five
minutes outside the machine.
This convinced physicians that
she will recover. However, it may
be two weeks before use of the res
pirator can be abandoned entirely.
Grateful because the steel lung"
saved her life, Miss Mccain plans
to dedicate herself to furtherance
of the use of the respirator, it was
learned.
She still has a year of training
before she will be a graduate nurse,
and she plans to devote some of
that time to acquiring skill in oper-
alton of the machine, attendants

This conference is to lay the
groundwork for future larger con-
ference of fnanciers, economists and

The president told the planning
committee he laInented the fact it
was SO much easier to finance the
purchase Of automobiles than the
purchase of homes.
The finance of home building,
especially for second mortgages, is
the backward segment of our whole
credit system" Mr.. Hoover said.
"It is easier to borrow IS per cent
on an automobile and repay it on
the installment plan, than to buy a
home on that basiS-and generally
the house requires a higher interest

RESIDENTS FIGHT MOVE
TO OPEN DANCE STUDIO
ON WASHINGTON BLVD
NOrthSiderS Angered by
Effort to Obtain
Old Church.

Petition of Mae Berry, dance in
structor, to open a dance studio in
the former Church of Christ, Sci
enlist, Thirty fourth street and
Washington boulevard, brought loud
protests Tuesday afternoon from
residents at a session of the coming
appeals board.
Neighbors protested that the
studio would keep them awake at
night and would tend to degrade
the neighborhood, because, it was
charged, the studio soon would be-
come a public place.
Charles Barry, attorney, led the
battle against granting the permit.
THE building was erected by the
church as temporary structure, :"
he told board members. 1.-THE place
is cheap and should be torn down.
"AS residents, we do not care to
have jazz perforating the air. That
won't add to our homes. There
seems to be a certain amount of
impudence in the request seeking
to debauch the neighborhood with
a dance studio"
Supporters of the petition de-
clared the former church would not
become a dance hail." and that
only one night each week, would
there be music until II p. m.
The board votes failed to reach
a majority against the petition and
it will be reconsidered in two weeks.
Il think the people are unduly
alarmed" said John w. Anterior,
Butler university executive secre-
tary and board member, who declined
to vote. 1T seems to be sort of a
school. I don't see any particular
objection and I'd like to look at
the building before voting"

ILL TWO MONTHS

Was Among Pioneer
Financial Leaders.

William Nackenhorst, 81, of 1851
Park avenue, pioneer city banker
and president of the Fountain
Square State bank, died early this
morning at his home following two
months illness.
Mr.. Nackenhorst was in the lime
light when, on May %, 1929, he led
his bank employees in resisting the
holdup of the south side bank, re-
sulting in the capture and fatal
shooting of one bandit.
While the holdup was in progress,
Mr.. Nackenhorst yelled 1.-THE bank
is being held up" and with this sig
nal grabbed the bandit guarding
him and threw him to the floor.
Ii explaining his action to police
Mr.. Nackenhorst scoffed at the
bravado he displayed and said, "My
grandfather out on the Ohio river
always told me to hit the other guy
first"
He founded the Fountain Square
institution in 1908 after thirty years
as a grocer in Indianapolis. Born in
1853 in Pittsburgh, he came to this
city in 1873. He was the founder
OF the Peoples Mutual Savings and
Loan Association and its president.

Prediction of the changes
in the police department were
made Monday in The Times.
City officials at first issued
statements denying that any
action of this sort was con-
templated, but in a closed
conference Tuesday after
noon, the order for the
changes was given.
Arrest of eighteen policemen on
federal indictments charging con-
spiracy to violate the national pro-
hibition act had set off the bomb
shell in the police department Sat-
urday.
The changes bring police who
have been patrolling outlying dis
tricts and residential sections of the
city into districts that are said to
be infested with bootlegging, gam
bling and vice joints.
Suit for Paddock
Although no ranking officers have
been affected by the turnover in the
department, it was indicated from
reliable sources that some Of the
higherups in the department might
be subject to the same treatment
as the patrolmen before the revision
is completed.
Suit to paddock the speakeasy at
943 East Washington street, in
which federal investigators aIlege
they obtained much of their evil
dence. was filed in superior court
three today by Indiana Anti-Saloon
League attorneys.
The speakeasy was operated by
Chris and Pete Schischcof, and
Chris Vilaschcoff, all under federal
grand jury indictment on liquor
violation charges. The suit names
as defendants Charles w. and Alice
Cook, and Walter G. Bowlby, owners

reconvened before Nov. 3, the date
of the next scheduled session, to
consider new information gathered
