the face of stanch denialS by
James o. Ray, 81. that he knows
anything about the murder Of his
S1-year-old wife Wednesday, Prose-
cutor Miller indicates that he will
file first degree murder charges
against the WidoWer.
Circumstantial evidence has
weighed heavily against Ray in the
preliminary investigation, and
authorities know of no motive any
ore outside the family might have
had for the crime.
Mrs. Rays body was found be-
meath stairway in her home, with
a bloody Ratchet nearby. Blood
stains on bedclothes and on the up
stairs floor led officers to believe
that Mrs. Ray was killed in bed and
dragged to the foot Of the stair

Ray has contended throughout

about 6 a. m. to sell some chickens,
and that when he returned home
less than an hour later he found his
wife's body.

CAMPAIGN FOR
ILLINOIS SEAT
NEARS CLIMAX
Mark Hanna'S Daughter
Shows Strain of Bit
ter Battle.
BY MERTON T. AKERS
United Press Staff Correspondent

CHICAGO, April, 3.-Two patri-
clans of the middle west-Ruth
Hanna Mccormick and Charles S.
Deneen-fought the most Spectac-
ular battles of their long political
careers today up and down metro
politan Chicago, with modern radio
and time-tried innuendo, for the
G. o. P. senatorial nomination.
For Mrs. Mccormick, daughter Of
one senator and wife Of another,
victory next Tuesday meant partial
realization of dream inspired by
her "president-maker" father, Mark
Hanna.
To Senator Deneen, reared in the
cloisters Of McKendree college, vic
tory meant favorable chances for
another term and a fitting climax
to almost forty years of public serv-
ice.
Three More Days Remain
Only three more days of cam
paigning remained after today be-
fore voters go to the polls all over
the state from the coal mining re-
gions of southern Illinois to the
metropolitan area on the northeast
and the fight promised to wax
warmer with each day.
For the most part both candidates
planned to confine their last minute
campaigning to Chicago and its
numerous suburbs.
Mrs. Mccormick goes to her home
town, Rockford, where she owns a
newspaper and near where her
model stock farm lies, for a speech
tonight. Then she. comes back to
her skyscraper offices and suite in
the Palmer house for the windup.
Mrs. Mccormick Shows Strain
Senator Deneen concentrated his
fight in Chicago, for many political
observers believe as goes Chicago,
so goes the state.
The slender, dynamic Mrs. Nc
Cormick, who passed her 50th birth
day anniversary on March 81, ap-
peared tired and worn today after
another strenuous night of speech
making and batting of her opponent.
Beginning at noon Wednesday
until far into the night she bid for
votes in the crowded loop, In sub
urban Evanston and Brookfeld, and
even In Cicero, the stronghold Of
Scarface Al Capone.
Sandwiched In between was an
other radio address.
The burden Of all her speeches
was that the United States should
avoid becoming a member Of the
League of Nations through the
world court, which she terms "the
back door" of President Wilson'S
dream of world unity.

other big city departments. About
1900 copies will be published, to be
distributed to every fireman, replac-
ing the rule book which has been in
use since the ''horSe-drawn" days.
The new rules are expected to COR
rect many of the factors Of ineffic-
iency that were dealt with in
recent series of articles by Dick
Miller in The Indianapolis Times.

in political affairs except to cast
his vote in elections" states one of
the general rules.

immortality, ndecency, habitual
profanity, and discussions on
religion or politics will not be
tolerated in engine houses"
Firemen who have been elected
delegates to political conventions
or caucuseS or nominated to run for
public posts will be considered as
having vacated their office in the
department, the rules declare. Fire
men are not compelled to con-
tribute to individuals or organiza-
lions soliciting political contribu-
tons, the book pointed out.
The regulations bar f1remen from
engaging in other businesses or
giving personal attention thereto.
Soliciting or selling of tickets for
any purpose is prohibited.
Drinking or keeping Intoxicating
liquor around engine houses, and
intoxication on or off duty will sub
ject the offender to trial and dis
charge for cause.
Sick Leave Pay Limited

sick cases." the safety board de-
cided to limit pay on sick leave to
only fifteen days, except in special
cases approved by the board.
No applications will be received
from persons over 35. They shall
have been residents of Indianapolis
more than year and must continue
to reside in the city. Specific re-
quirements as to height and weight
are set out.
The board plans to confer with
Mayor Sullivan on the proposal to
require automatic retirement of fire.
men at 10. at present they may be
retired by the board only for physi-
cal unftness. 1t was pointed out
that the 70-year age limit would re-
lieye the board of embarrassment in
cases of acquaintance or personal
friends scheduled for retirement.
There also has been discussion Of
stipulating a period Of service.
Trading of days off" is allowed
only with written permission Of bat
talon chiefs, who in turn must adj
wise the chief.
The rule book sets out that "the
chief is in full command of the de-
partment and responsible for strict
enforcement of discipline"
