COURT FAVORS
MEAT PACKERS
Modified Consent Decree
Permits Foods Sale.
BIZ United Press

By United Press
WASHINGTON, Jan. 5. - The
packers consent decree of 1920 was
modified today by Justice Jennings
Bailey in District of Columbia SUI
preme court SO as to permit packers
to deal in all classes of food in
wholesale trade, but prohibits the
retail sale of food.
The decision, regarded by packers
as victory, removes restrictions of
the 1920 decree which limited the
packers from selling any commodi-
ties other than meat at wholesale.
The decree denied the packers
the right to enter the retail meat
business, as well as other forms of
retail trade, and it also refused
them the right to own stock in
stock yards.
The court failed to find any evil
dence of violation of the Sherman
antitrust law on the part of the
packers or any proof that they
now are doing business in violation
Of the original decree.
The opinion of Justice Bailey
gives the packers the right not only
to engage in wholesale dealings in
foodS-including meat, groceries,
dairy products, fruits, vegetables
and all such commodities-but to.
use their distribution and trans
portation facilities such as freight
and refrigerator cars and branch
plans in so doing.

SIX MURDERER
SCARE Flares
WITH ATTACK
Believe ASSaiIant of N. Y.
Woman Maniac Who
Roamed Last Summer.
SECOND DEATH TRY
Room Set on Fire After
Skull of Latest Victim
Is Fractured.
BIZ United Press

By United Press
NEW YORK, Jan. 5.-For the
second time in less than a year, the
mysterious assailant who has tried
to kill Mrs. Rebecca Hirsh,
estranged wife of a prominent
produce dealer, attacked her today
and left her unconscious on the
eighth floor of an Office building,
after trying to set fire to the
structure.
She was found at 1914 White street
with a fractured skull. Mrs. Hirsh's
hands and feet were bound and
nearby, on the floor of the room,
flames cracked through a pile of
newspapers.
At Beekman hospital, it was said
her condition was serious.
The letter IN" was scratched
deeply on Mrs. Hirsh's chest and
police believe it was done either by
a long, sharp finger nail or by sorla
such instrument as nail file.
A crudely written note which the
assailant thrust into the hands OF
his victim recounted a previous at
tempt to kill Mrs. Hirsh, and re-
vived reports that 3X, the maniac
killer of Queensborough, who muir
dered two men and eluded hundreds
of police, was operating again.
The note said:
"You put up a good fight the last
time, but I'll make sure I make a
good job of it now. She will not
struggle any more. Revenge is
sweet-and howl
At the bottom Of the note were
three ks" and the word maniac. :"
Mrs. Hirsh had been living with
her mother at 400 Atkins avenue,
Brooklyn. Police said she had been
attacked last summer, but her moth
er denied it.
Murderer Never Caught

and Joseph Moyzinski as they sat
in automobiles with girls near the
lonely College Point section OF
Queens, gained the reputation of
being one of the shrewdest GRIM
inals ever two operate in the metro

Regularly, he wrote letters to an
afternoon newspaper explaining to
police, how and where he would
kill his next victim.
Police said the letters clearly in.

Trail Negro Murderer of
Carl w. Hickman; One
Man Is Held.

Police, aided by law enforcement
agencies throughout the midwest,
today conducted a hunt for the Ne
gro bandit who Saturday night MUIR
dered Carl w. Hickman, %, detec-
tive sergeant, in gun battle in the
$500 block North Pennsylvania
street.
The slayer, police say, is Richard
Cobb, alias Perkins, of 624 Fayette
street, who also is sought for sew
eral holdups of laundry wagon
drivers in Indianapolis in the last
two weeks.
Inquest Set Wednesday
Floyd Boar Negro, 26, of $50
Torbett street, confessed companion
of the alleged slayer, who is held
on a murder charge, broke down
after strenuous questioning by de-
tectives several hours after the
shooting and named Cobb as the
actual slayer of the detective, po-
lice said.
Reward of $500 for arrest and con-
vietidlA of Perkins was offered to-
day by the Police emergency fund,
according to Police Chief Jerry E.
Kinney.
Inquest on the Staying will be held
Wednesday morning by Coroner
Fred w. Vehling.
The shooting occurred after
Hickman and Philip Miller, de-
tective sergeant, detailed to guard
laundry wagons on the north side
after the recent wave of robberies,
halted a few yards behind a laundry
truck driven by J. A. Newman, en-
ploye of the Excelsior Laundry
Company, who was making a de-
livery at 1925 North Pennsylvania
street.
Detective Challenges Pair
The detectives saw the Negroes
walk from the north and one of
them started to enter the laundry
wagon. When they saw the police
car they continued walking. When
they neared the police car Miller
leaped to the sidewalk with his
revolver drawn and commanded
them to put up their hands.
Both Negroes drew revolverS as
Hickman came from the car. One of
the Negroes started shooting and
Board threw away his weapon. One
of the bullets from the slayer'S
gun struck Hickman in the fore
head. He continued shooting as he
fell dying on the sidewalk. Miller
grabbed Board and held him.
On Force Since 1929
The slayer fled between apart
ment houses and had escaped when
police emergency squads arrived.
Belief that Cobb fled to Chicago
was expressed by police after they
learned Negro answering Cobb's
description had used a phone in a
parking lot in the 500 block South
Meridian street two hours after the
murder He called another man,
saying he was going to Chicago. He
jumped fence around the park
ing lot and fled in a large coupe.
Hickman was appointed to the
force in February, 1929. He is sur
vived by the widow, Mrs. Alice
Hickman, > and three children,
Maurice, 6; Mary Alice, 8, and Dale
Edward, II months, and his father,

TO
BLOCK LOSSES
IN TEXT COSTS
Hines Advances Plan to
to Save Parents Thou
sands of Dollars.
URGES ADOPTION DELAY
Tells Board SIaSheS in
School Book Prices
Can Be Made.

Putting forth bluntly a program
whereby Hoosier parents can not
lose, but in addition stand a chance
OF saving thousands of dollars in
textbook expenditures, President l..
N. Hines of the Indiana State Nor
NAL school at Terre Haute and
text book commissioners, argued to-
day to delay the five-year textbook
adoption until May.
The Hines proposal in brief is
this:
Hold off the adoption, with any
eye to readoption of present texts
in use at a cut under the present
so-called "war time" prices.
Asserting that such price cuts car
be made, Hines pointed out thai
books by publishers not holding con-
tracts now are under the adopted
text prices. To give the present
contractors a chance to cut the
price, Hines will introduce another
motion to readvertise for bids il
delay until May is accepted.
Vote to Table Study
The state education board, sitting
as the textbook commission, re-
cesSed at noon and voted to table
consideration of the Hines motion
until after luncheon.
So the swarm of textbook COM
pany statesmen and contractors, ;
which filled the Statehouse hall
ways, also wenS out to eat.
Because the scheduled readop-
ton several months in advance of
the usual date had aroused state
wide debate and emphatic express
Sions from Governor Harry G.. Les
lie, the press was admitted to the
commissions executive session.
At the outset of the meeting,
Hines moved that only texts printed
in Indiana be adopted, but his mo-
ton was accorded only his own
vote, other members arguing such
step would bring retaliatory meas
ureS from other states, reacting
harmfully to Indiana publishers.
Adopt Wirt'S Proposal
But the commission did adopt the
proposal of w. A. Writ, Gary school
superintendent, that effort be made
to have contract-winning publishers
insure printing and binding of the
books in Indiana, $50 far as prac-
ticable."
l.. L. Needler, secretary of the In
diana Farm Bureau Federation, said
he wanted to explain that the fed
Grafton has altered its position of
unqualified opposition to textbook
adoption at this time to the position
of favoring new adption if price re-
auctions can be obtained.
Bids opened last week showed
publishers now holding state text
book contracts did not lower their
prices, while publishers not holding
contracts offered lower prices on
comparable texts.
Move for immediate adoption or
readoption had the support of
Lemuel A. Pittenger, Beryl Holland
and Mrs. Martha Whitacre.
Talks Against "Stampeding"
Mrs. Whitacre commended the
board should not be "stampeded"
into any sort of action by popu-
lar clamor, but Should make its Sc
lectionS governed by what is best
from educational and economical
standpoints." To readvertise for
bids, she argued, would be unfair
to publishers who offered lower
prices.
Hines reply was that "the mat
ter of being fair to school patrons
and parents comes before fairness
to the publishers"
Texts in the program include
geography, history, English, spell
ing and home economics.
