Spider Is
Very Sick
Old Monkey
Doctors Are Trying to Save
Animal at Riverside
Park Zoo.

A SEVERE case of rheumatism
4 "A has been developed by Spider
as the result Of the recent drop in
temperature. Spider is the old
platyrhine monkey at the Riverside
Park Zoo and it all came about
because Of the removal of the winter
siding from the monkey house q
week ago, just previous to the cold
snap.
j. H. Bryant, caretaker, is kept
busy nursing the animal back to
health. He thinks the age of Spider
is somewhat against chances for his
recovery as he is more than 100
years old, on authority of expert
biologists.
However, it was necessary to cover
the sides of the house with tar
paulin and build a fire to keep the
monkeys warm.
The animal afflicted is the only
one at the park of the Spider species
which gets its name from the slen-
derness and fexibility of it's limbs.
He suffered from a cold when
brought to the United States and
ever since a radical change in .tern-
perature has caused him trouble.
Spider came here from Jacksonville.
Fla, and has been at Riverside for
seven years.

Swimmer Is Appointed
Head of Staff at
Broad Ripple.

Jack Schaefer, who gained
swimming renown at Butler and has
won many classic races, has been
appointed to head the staff of life
guards who will preside over the
Broad Ripple pool this summer.
Schaefer's most recent noteworthy
achievement was the winning of the
ninth annual river swim here last
year. He previously had won the
Water Classic in 1929.
Besides his duties in selecting and
presiding over the Broad Ripple life
guards he will give many exhibitions
Of swimming and diving during this

With the pool as headline attrac-
ton at the park, the season has
started auspiciously with all rides,
fun buildings, and other attractions
enjoying success.
The free dancing, conducted each
evening in the Moonlight Gardens,
has met with much success. The
plan of staging every other dance
as a waltz has met with particular
praise, according to E. w. Mush-
rush, manager, who devised the
idea.

ALIEN KILLINGS
INVOLVE NATIONS
Staying of Mexican Boys
Recalls IndemnitieS u. S.
Has Paid.
By Scripps-H picard Newspaper Alliance

By Scripps-Hotodrd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, June 13.-If the
United States is required to pay in
demnity for the killing in Oklahoma
of two Mexican boys, one the cousin
of President Ortiz Rubio, it will not
be the first time it has acknowl-
edged its liability to foreign power
for failure to protect aliens within
its borders.
In 1891, eleven Italians were
taken from a New Orleans jail and
lynched by a mob which suspected
them of completely in the murder OF
New Orleans mayor. Five of the
men had not been tried, three had
been acquitted, and three were be-
ing detained for a second trial.
According to international law, a
nation is held to have condoned an
offense to aliens if the offenders are
not brought to justice, and the ma
TONS esponsibility is thereby in
creased.
In this case, New Orleans grand
jury exonerated the mob and nc
one was brought to trial for the
murder of the Italians. The in
cident caused severance of diplo-
matte relations between Italy and
the United States until this coun-
try paid an indemnity of $4,000.
This was the first time the United
States had acknowledged liability
for injuries to aliens, although il
had previously paid several hundred
thousand dolla.G as an "act Of
grace" for violence to Chinese II
the northwest.
Mexico has indicated that it viii

This Is the fourth Of a series of sto-
! Ties on the life and police career of
Jerry Kinney, Indianapolis police chief,
/ who died Tuesday morning, after a long
illness.
Jerry Kinney battled criminals
through the fastest-changing era Of
crime this nation ever has witnessed.
He captured men who climbed
porches to loot homes. He clamped
the lid on saloons that persisted in
violating the Sunday closing order.
In later years Kinney saw youths,
many still in their teens, rob homes.
He saw immature murderers who
dared crimes that the outlaw of
years before would have been
ashamed to perpetrate.
He saw swift-moving autos and
trucks carry cargoeS that violated
the most unobServed law of the ma
ton. He captured men who resort
ed to murderous machine guns to
settle gang differences and often
STAY the innocent.
Crime Shocked Nation
Through it all, Kinney kept apace.
His traits of character and ability
always placed him in the fore.
Still another tale of his greatness
as police officer, told at head
quarters. deals with the evidence he
gathered to end the career and life
of a murderer who shocked the
country.
Philadelphia police were holding
man, among whose aliases was
H. H. Holmes. They needed perfect
evidence to exact. the toll justice
demanded of man who, they knew,
murdered families and disposed of
the bodies in his maniacal attempt
to inherit an estate worth fortune
Holmes had lived in Indianapolis
and Kinney located the house in
Irvington. With another officer and
two Philadelphia police, Kinney en-
tered the residence.
Made GrueSome Find
Search revealed the body of boy
buried in the yard. The body was
burned partly. In the shed they
found the stove in which the body
of the boy had been burned. Holmes
had slain the child who was one
Of the last to stand in his way to
wealth.
That information, gathered by
Kinney, sprang the trap of the scat
fold that sent Holmes to his death.
But there is not only the sordid
side. Kinney had humorous vein
that endeared him to his friends.
Often, during his forty-four years
on the force, he told the story of
his first raid. 1t nearly ended his
career, because he laughed so hard
he was helpless.
More experienced officers took
Patrolman Kinney to a house on
West Georgia street where a Negro
craps game was at its height.
Unto His Arms
Kinney was stationed outside
while other police battered down
the doors. Bedlanl broke loose.
Through doors and windows hurtled
Negroes who suddenly decided the
game was ended.
There was more than one new
door and window made in that
house by Negroes who didn't fol-
low the path of least resistance.
A crash of glass from the second
floor turned Kinney's eyes upward
to see a Negro dropping ground
ward. me ex-dice shaked landed
bodily in rain barrel full Of
water.
The Negroes drenched face, shin
ing in the street light, peered over
the edge of the barrel at Kinney.

he said.
