JUDGE COLLINS
ORDERS VOTE
QUIZ TO GO ON
Fails to Designate Who
viii Direct Fraud Probe
by Grand Jury.
$1,000 PAY FOR cox
Resignation of Special
Prosecutor Is Accepted
by Court.

without designating who will di-
rect the investigation, Criminal
Judge James A. Collins today in
structed the Marion county grand
jury to resume the probe into pri-
mary election fraud and corruption
At the same time Collins accepted
the resignation of Earl R. Cox fol-
two months special grand jury
prosecutor, fixing his pay at $1,000
Collins warned jurors valuable
time has passed and it may be inn
possible now to secure evidence that
would result in the return of indict-
ments."
1T is your duty under the law to
continue the investigation and do
the best you can with the facilities
at hand" Collins told the jurors,
Aims Slap at Winkler
Aiming a political slap at Sheriff
George L. Winkler, Collins suggested
to jurors that the Coffin G. o. P.
chieftain have nothing to do with
the probe.
Il would suggest that all subpoe-
mas of the grand jury incident to
the investigation be served by Off
GERS other than those connected
with the sheriff's Office" Collins
said.
Attack on the county council for
twice refusing to appropriate $4,000
for the probe was renewed when
Collins branded their refusal a
"f1imsy excuse"
Their alibi is so ridiculous it
needs no comment" Collins stated.
Stark May Take Charge
When the January grand jury
ended its part of the investigation
last June, they found "glaring in
stances of vice, corruption and de-
ceit" in the primary. Referring to
the Coffin group, they stated "a
political faction dominated the cleo
ton with a Interior motive in view"
The July grand jury, taking up
the probe where it was dropped by
their predecessors, reliably are said
to disfavor continuing the probe.
Although Stark refused to disclose
whether he will take personal charge
of the probe at this point, he told
The Times he wishes to avoid any
sensationaliSm.
MY deputies and will be on the
job to enforce the law" Stark said.
"I don't want to promise the public
a lot and then be unable to pro-
duce," he added. Stark was re-
nominated in the primary.
Attacks Money to Cox
Asked if he concurs with Collins
in carrying the probe to an end,
Stark admitted reluctantly he
doesn't agree or disagree"
Anything uncovered in this
whole investigation has been done
by my staff of deputies. I'm not
saying what I intend to do" Stark
commented.
Stark attack spending of $1,000 to
pay Cox.
Il and my deputies did all the
work in this investigation without
spending a penny" but now we have
a special prosecutor who wants
$1,000 for doing what my deputies
did for him."

Sir Tom Lipton's Shamrock v Ready for
Classic Events Against United States
Enterprise With Vanderbilt at Helm.
Sturdy English Sailors to Match Skill and
Drawn Against Mechanical Perfection
of Yankee Craft in Historic Duel
BY MORRIS DE HAVEN TRACY
United Press STAFF Correspondent

NEWPORT, R. l., Sept. 13.-Two slim yachts will slip
out of Newport harbor today, when nine miles off
Brentons reef will their sails to the breeze in the first
race to determine again the question of AngoAmercan
yachting supremacy.
Twenty-Five million dollars worth of pleasure craft will
follow them Somewhere between $7OOO0OOO and 100000
900 has been wagered on them
And million each has been lavished in making the two
craft with their towering masts and white canvas the
last word in yachting perfection.
The yachts the Enterprise which will sail with
Vanderbilt at her helm defend the New York Yacht Clubs

burgee of the Royal Ulster Yacht Club and the personal

out among scores of palatial craft,
while. overhead at night the great
Streamers of search lights played
from a dozen destroyers, forming a
canopy over all.
Ashore were women in sports
clothes and men in blue and white
rubbing elbows with uniformed
sailors and with men from the al
most countless yachts. Radios played
over the water. There was laughter
in the air.
About 9 a. m. the racing yachts
were to slip their anchors and be
towed to the course, which is out Of
the harbor and in the open sea. Be
hind them will follow the patrol of
navy and coat guard destroyers and
beyond them will range the flotilla
of yachts.
May Make 1t in Three Hours
At 11:3O a. m. the yachts are re-
quired to be at the starting buoy.
Then, ten minutes or more later.
there will come the boom of the
starting gun from Vincent Astors
great yacht, Nourmahal, official
committee boat for the race.
The Gordon of destroyers on either
side of the yachts, always keeping
far enough behind not to interfere
with free movement of boats or to
cut off the wind will hold back
from the course the pleasure craft
which are following.
Newspaper men and officials only
will ride the destroyers, while only
members of the race committee will
be on the Nourmahal.
It and Sir Thomas Lipton's Erin
and Cornelius Vanderbilts Win
chester, acting as escort for Enter
prise and carrying, among others,
Cornelius Vanderbilt Jr., represent
ing the United Press, will be the
only boats permitted inside the pa
troll lines.
How long the yachts will require
to cover the thirty miles of their
course is dependent on the breeze.
They might do it in as little as
three hours. If they require more
than five and half hours, the race
will be called no contest.
Rains Are in Prospect
Weather indications early today
we're not favorable. There was di-
vision Of opinion as to which yacht
would fare the best under prospec-
tive conditions, although most OBJ
servers seemed to believe that, bar
ring difficulty with mechanical gear,
heavy weather would be to the ad-
vantage of the Enterprise. Yet no
one has even seen the Shamrock
sail III really heavy weather.
Rain and east and southeast
winds, growing heavier during the
day, were in prospect, according to
the weather b ueau. the winds to
reach "conside4 able intensity late
in the day.

France Policy Consistent
With Withdrawing Last
Troop From Saar.
SINCERITY FACES TEST
League Committee Will Be
Formed to Revise United
Europe Plan.

BV United Press
GENEVA, Sept. 13.-While Euro
pean nations almost We'd with each
other before the League Of Nations
assembly in praising Aristide Bri-
and's plan for United States of
Europe, the assembly received tangi-
BILE evidence Of European rapproch-
ment in the announcement of the
league council that the last allied
troops would be withdrawn from be-
yond the Rhine, where they are
guarding the coal trains Of the Saar
valley.
BRAND. who had talked so elo-
quently for peace and European
rapprochement, was unable con-
sistently to refuse to favor German
Foreign Minister Julius Curtius by
the release of the mere 300 allied
soldiers in the Saar, and to consum-
mate the late DR.. Gustav Stresse-
mans program Of complete indie
pendence from foreign occupation
IN Germany.
Policy Is Consistent
Although Brands gesture might
cause criticism in France, he was
shown to be attempting to follow a
consistent policy for bringing peace
to European nations.
In the same spirit the Soviet re-
publics we're invited to attend the
league conference for the limitation
of the manufacture of narcotics, to
be held in London in October.
Although the league council real
lied months ago that the Soviets
should be invited to the conference
the invitation had not been sent.
The assembly soon will reveal
clearly the course for Europeans tc
take. as a committee is to be formed
to attempt to rationalize Brands
program for a United States OF
Europe. Majority of European ma
lions eloquently have been in favor
of the plan, but it remains to be
seen whether their sincerity reflects
their good intentions or whether it
is based merely on political expedl-
entS.
The proposed European fedora
ton received staunch support, de-
spite numerous pesimistic comments
on the hardness of various other
league functions.
Others Praise Plan
Paul Hymans, Belgian foreign
minister, told the assembly Bel
GUM naturally is committed peace
fully. and consents to the principle
of a European union"
Johann Schober, federal chsncel-
lor. added Austria's Endorsement to
the BRAND plan.
Baron Ramel, Swedish foreign
minister, expressed the idea that
most league endeavors are slow OF
realization, but he welcomed at
tempts to bring about fuller and
closer collaboration between Euro
pean countries.

The Schroeder case was one
of the most important on the
docket of the grand jury, and
has been under consideration
for several days, during
which time many witnesses
were called.
Schroeder has been held in the
county Jail since his capture in Mo-
bile in June.
While Schroeder from his jail cell
maintains he is innocent OF the
crime prosecutors began assimilat-
ing evidence, looking toward one OF
the hardest fought criminal cases
in years.
From the maze of evidence col
lected since Schroeder's burning car
was found to contain the charred
remains of man - evidently
stabbed to death before his body
was fired with some Combustible
fuid-the state must construct
case proving Schroeder executed the
Staying with premediated malice.
Lays Death to Crash
Against this, is Schroeder's story
of how the man was hurt fatally or
killed when the car crashed into a
ditch near Terre Haute. Schroeder
said he was afraid of being accused
of the mans death, admitting he set
fire to his Chrysler sedan, May 81,
making his escape to the south IN
the next two or three days.
Authorities tracking down cleWs
found at the death scene, strongly
credited the theory that Schroeder
committed the murder to collect
$4,000 insurance.
Chance discovery Of Schroeder's
raincoat in an alley n downtown
indianapolis shortly after the fire,
shattered belief that the body in the
buried car was that of Schroeder.
Search Nation Wide
AS result, a nationwide search
finally centered on SchroederS
home and business place in Mo-
bile.
Sheriff George L. Winkler, George
Eggleston, deputy prosecutor, and
several detectives spent more than
a week in the Alabama city piecing
together threads of evidence. With
out finding the object OF their
search, the Indianapolis party
started the return trip.
Two hours after they left, Schroe-
der was captured, haggard and
weary, by a Mobile citizen, hiding in
the dense weeds of lot adjoining
his home.
Also Faces Arson Charge
Schroeder signed confession
claiming the torch car victim died
of a broken neck in the crash near
Terre Haute. Sheriff Winkler and
aids hurried the central figure to
indianapolis where affidavits charg-
ing him with arson had been filed by
Stark.
In later legal maneuvers, Judge
James A. Collins issued an order
prohibiting authorities from queS-
Joining Schroeder without a court
order. Ira NJ. Holmes, Schroeder's
counsel, charged detectives with
applying third degree" tactics in
questioning the central figure.
GrilIed for IL Hours
Before this, detectives grilled
Schroeder more than twelve hours
without interruption. A near brawl
resulted, when Holmes attempted to
break into one grilling session at
Stark's office. He shouted warnings
to Schroeder to SAY nothing" Ro-
land Snider, chief jailor. attempted
to Dust Holmes, and a f1stic encoun-
ter followed.
With filing of the indictment,
Holmes said he would take no &C.
ton until prosecutors fixed a date
for trial. 1t is probable, Holmes in
dicated. the case will DE venued
from Marion county.
