DONATES
PLANE TO CITY
$4,000 FairChiId Is Gift
of Tribe Owner.

Through gift of Norman E. Perry,
owner of the indianapolis baseball
club, the city of indianapolis will
have it's own official airplane.
Until the gift is approved for
mally by city council, the plane will
be used under a lease from Perry.
The lease was being drawn up to-
day.
Perry's plane is a $4,000 Fair
child six-place cabin ship. 1t will
be hangared at municipal airport,
and Major Charles E. Cox Jr., air
port superintendent, will be its
pilot.
First fight as the city's official
air carrier was this afternoon, when
Major Cox took off from the
municipal field for the national air
races at Cleveland, with Gene
Haynes, airport publicity director.
They will return later this week.
At the air races the plane will
advertise dedication of the new
municipal field Sept. 1927, and
Haynes and Major Cox will offer
invitations to f1iers to participate in
the program here on those dates.
The plane is less than two and
one-half years old, and the motor,
a Pratt & Whitney 400-horse power
Wasp, has 1872 air hours logged

for years. He has trained all his

Jimmy believes. More high speed
planes than ever before will COM

Training for the race is not a
matter of exercising alone. Jimmy

holding a responsible position in
the fourth largest bank in America
today told officials of the CONT

Company how he embezzled be-
tween $500,00O and $1,000,000.
Walter E. Wolf, AZ, church usher,
model citizen" trusted and re-
Spected until his confession of
populations at first estimated at
$1,500,000, was taken today from
the loop hotel where he had been
under guard for questioning at the
bank.
Granted brief respite, he
lamented his deed, claSping and
unclasping his hands.
II would give anything in the
world to undo what I did," he said.
IF could only live the last ten
years over again.
Promises to Help
But I can't. But I shall do
everything in my power to help
officials of the bank recover as
much Of the money as possible. I
regret this occurrence more than
words can say"
Wolf was then taken back into a
conference room to assist auditors
check over his accounts.
Associates and neighbors of Wolf
knew him as respectable, upright
citizen. He hurried to his attractive
home evenings to tend his garden
or water the lawn. Evening he
sometimes took his wife and 13-
year-old daughter Marjorie to
movie, or went with Mrs. Wolf to
a bridge party. He neither drank
nor frequented night resorts, friends
insisted.
That fact supported VOLTS state
ment that he lost the money spec
ulating in stock and grain markets.
Margins to brokers ate away all he
could abstract from the bank, he
confessed.
Had so Under Him
Until the arrest, Wolf was man
ager of the coupon department of
the bank. 1t was a comparatively
minor. but important position. He
had fifty men working under him.
He had worked for the bank for
twenty years.
Officials of the bank said the in
stitution was fully protected by in
surance and would lose nothing by
VOLTS defalcations. They said he
made complete confession.
Wolf, the officials said, stole
securities and put them up with
brokers as margin for speculation in
stock and grain markets.
His method, they said, was to take
securities after properly giving the
customer his receipt and to conceal
the theft by also abstracting the
records relating to the bond. When
it was necessary to replace the Sc
curities, he took others to keep good
his margins with the brokers.

5000 to 5000 men at work on state
highways as a job relief measure
was considered today by the COM
mission.
The proposal, for which Albert
Wedeking of Dale, commission
chairman, said he would take the
responsibility" is. for the state to
take over an additional $50 miles
of highways in Indiana.
The funds are a surplus from
maintenance appropriations not
used last winter and additional
money that has piled up in the
commissions treasury during the
fiscal year, Wedeking said.
With the money being placed in
to unemployment relief, it was in
dicated that the commission will
buy few, if any, of the ITO trucks,
purchase of which was to be acted
on today.

From reliable sources it was
learned that the unemployment
plan had been outlined either at
this conference or at one between
Senator James E. Watson and
Wedeking, also held Tuesday night.
1t has been estimated that 100000
working days could be provided for
from 5000 to 5000 men under the
proposed plan, which probably
would bring expenditure of about
S750,0O0 of the commissions funds
this fall.
According to Wedeking, the plan
could be placed in operation in two
