of liquidity rather than solvency,
especially as this was affected by
shrinkage Of deposits" Brewer
stated.
Police were assigned to the bank
this morning as a protective meas
ure.
Thomas D. Barr, assistant state
banking commissioner, said the in
ventory of assets and liabilities was
started today. This will be fol-
lowed by court action for the ap-
pointment of a receiver next week.
Resolution Is Adopted
Directors adopted resolution
stating that inability to market real
estate holdings, depreciation OF
farm values and Shrinkage Of de-
posts made 1t expedient TO go into
voluntary liquidation in order ito
save it's depositors and stockholders
from loss"
When the closing order came, the
financial situation was: Deposits,
$l,410,00o; capital stock, $375,O0O;

said.

about the city for more than two

guns in the hands of five men at an
early hour today on West WASH

Returning to indianapolis after
a visit to his farm near Avon, Stew
art was pursued by two carloads Of
men, he told police. On West WASH

cars closed in on his machine and
forced him to drive to the curb, he
said.
Three men from one of the pur-
suing cars alighted with sawed-off
ShotgunS and two men from the
other car, one with pump type
rife, menaced Stewart while his car
was searched.
Finding no liquor, the five ordered
him to drive ahead, one adding,

Stewart told police the two cars
turned into Rockville road III leav-

to rob him of money or valuableS

I found I had overcome some of
my tendency to swing to the right

Dowden corrected my tendency
to elevate the nose too high, with
the stick, on the takeoff.
After you have pulled back on
the stick and gotten the plane of
the ground it is best to level off a
little and fly along almost level sew
eral hundred feet, to pick UP
speed, and then pull into the proper
climbing angle" he explained.
Sometimes 1t Is necessary to
climb rather steeply for a few mo-
ments on the takeoff In a small
field, to get over fences, wires or
other distractions, but then you
must level off and regain the fly

INDIANA RING IS
UNDER SCRUTINY
Federal Jury Adiourns for
Weekend With Lid
Scarcely Lifted.
GANG REVENGE GUARDED
Use PreCautiOn to Protect
Witnesses; Terre Haute,
Clinton Key Cities.

Revelations that will rock Indi-
ana's liquor still hotbed in Vermil-
lion and Vigo counties are expected
to result from the federal grand
Jury investigation now underway.
Further evidence, supplemental to
the mass that was laid before jurors
Friday, will be presented Monday
The jury adjourned Friday after
noon for the weekend
Business men, police. bootleggers
and officials of Clinton and Terre
Haute, headquarters of the alleged
booze ring and gangs, are slated to
testify next week. The probe is not
expected to reach final stage until
late in the week.
Guard Against Gang Revenge
Assertions that the investigation
will lead to something bigger than
the East Chicago case" in which
city officials and police were in
yolved, have been heard from various
sources.
During the probe, authorities are
using every precaution to protect
witnesses and others from any gang
revenge that may result from the
investigation.
Evidence presented to the jury has
come from weeks of work by agents.
In addition private Investigations
also have been underway.
Excessive sugar consumption in the
territory being probed is said to be
one OF the chief points in the quiz.
Still operators in the vicinity are
known to have received large Ship
mentS of five-gallon cans for alcohol
purposes weekly.
Protection Routes Charged
Investigators say still owners are
selling booze in the district for $12
a five-gallon can. Of this amount
purchasers, who are rum runners
from the middle west, are told that
$3.50 on each can goes to maintain
ing a protective chain"
"Alky" manufacturers. 1t Is said
assert that by following outlined
routes, runners can be positive of
protection from HACKERS and the
law.
Reports from the section have
brought the information that the
runners who purchase booze are not
only from Indiana, but also from
Illinois, Missouri, Ohio, Michigan
and Kentucky.
The present Set-up in the counties
Is said to dovetail with operation
of several stills that have been con-
fiScated by federal authorities.
Eleven Men Indicted
These stills, which included an
enormous plant at Montezuma. are
said to be part of the chain of more
than sixty which have been re-
ported as operating In the coun-
. ties.
Eleven men were indicted In the
Montezuma case and they are re-
ported to have worked with other
booze runners who also are await
ng trial in federal court.
fsrre Haute is said to be head
quarters for the still operators and
protection racketeerS.
Clinton has been marked as the
town where the payoff for protec-
ton and employment of ieutenantS
for the gangs Is alleged to take
place.
For years the territory has been
considered the source Of the great
est liquor supply in the state.
