CHARGE FRAUD
IN AFFIDAvITS
ON BUS BILL
Legislature Was TriCked on
Measure; Claim Before
Judge.

Affidavits setting forth that lead
ers of the Indiana legislature vir-
tually were tricked into signing
House Bill 6, regulating bus and
truck lines, were being studied to-
day by Circuit Judge Harry o.
Chamberlin.
With the afidavits, included in
a reply filed by plaintiffs in the
suit to enjoin the secretary of
state from publishing the act on
file, date for the civil court trial
on the bus bill is expected to be set
soon.
simultaneously, the Marion coun-
ty grand jury was to continue it's
probe into conspiracy charges in
connection with passing of the bill.
Two witnesses were heard by the
grand jury today. They were Pleas
Greenlee, house of representatives
engrossing clerk, and Chester K.
Watson, Democratic representative
from Allen county. No other testi-
mony will be taken, probably until
Wednesday.
Among those said to have been
called is Calvin Mcintosh, recently
ousted member Of the public service
commission.
In the affidavits, Edgar D. Bush,
Lieutenant-G Governor, and Walter
Myers, Speaker of the House, both
are quoted as saying they signed the
bill amid the confusion of the last
night Of the legislature, in the mis-
taken belief that it contained all
terms and amendments in the form
passed by the senate.
The civil suit charges the bill was
changed through fraud to strike out
a passage giving cities power to con-
tinue control over bus and truck
lines within their limits.

LESLIE TOLD
Leader of Hunger MarcherS
Demands State Help
for Unemployed.
EVICTION is RESISTED
Two Men Are Arrested
When They Attempt to ,
Replace Furniture.

Carrying out threats made to
Governor Harry G. Leslie Monday
afternoon, unemployed men, headed
by Communists, today attempted to
replace furniture of q Negro tenant,
evicted on court order, from his
residence, 440 Blake street.
Two Communists, Joseph Ber-
tiaux, 35, and Ash Martin, SO, both
of 933 South Senate avenue, resi-
dence of Theodore Luesse, Com
munist, were arrested on vagrancy
charges by deputy sheriffs. They
were held under $1,000 bonds each.
Arrest of the men took place aft
er Deputy Sheriff Charles Lynch
had served the eviction order and
directed removal Of the household
goods. Bertiaux and Martin adj
dressed a crowd of Negroes near
the residence, making threats that
they would return the furniture to
the house.
Two Are Arrested
Lynch called a sheriff's emer-
gency and Deputies Tom Scanlon
and Louis Mikesell placed the men
under arrest.
Monday afternoon Donald Burke
of Gary, Communist organizer, told
Leslie that if the demands of the
unemployed were not met by the
state they would take matters into
their own hands.
The program, as presented by
Burke, declares that: UNLESS our
demands are met, we propose to
move families of the unemployed
back into houses from which they
have been evicted.
eve shall seek food from the
authorities first and if refused then
we will demand food from grocers
and other stores. If refused by
them we shall take the food. The
unemployed will not starve."
Police Move Marchers
Governor Leslie thanked Burke
and the other three members of the
committee which called, and dis
missed them. They had asked that
he call special session of the legis-
lature to deal with unemployment
problems according to the Com
munist formula.
While this committee was pre-
senting its demands, the state and
city police herded the hunger
marchers off the statehouse steps
and back to Military park, whence
they came. The attendance, al
though advertised as statewide,
was about one-fourth of that at
previous statehouse meetings staged
by the Indianapolis group alone.
Burke, who said he was an Or
ganizer for the Communist party,
was accompanied by Miss Alice
Phillips, Gary, who acted as Secre-
tary of the committee.
Three in Jail
The other two committee men,
berS were Idrs. Lulu Griffin, Negro,
1859 Yandes street, and a World war
veteran, D. S. Finney, Terre Haute.
Warned by Municipal Judge Cliff
ton r. Cameron to go to work or
go to Jail, three leaders Of the dem
onstration were liberated on
charges of disorderly conduct,
carrying banners in city streets, and
vagrancy.
I.azo Rabraca of Gary and Ma
poleon Johnson of Terre Haute
were charged with carrying banners
and vagrancy. The banner, read
ing ITO He'll With Charity, We
Demand Real Relief" was produced
in court. Judge Cameron discharged
them after a brief patriotic lecture.
Theodore Luesse, Communist
leader, was given a suspended fine
and sentence.

Dead in Africa.

LONDON, May 5.-A spokes-
man for the British Aircraft Con-
structors' Society said today that
a Capetown message gave positive
identification by police of the
body of Commander Glen Kid
ston, British millionaire airman,
killed in an airplane crash in
Natal.
By United Press
CAPETOWN, South Africa, May
5.-Lieutenant Commander Glen
Kidston, millionaire British aviator
with the charmed life," is be-
lieved to have been killed in a
crash in the mountains of Natal,
advices received here today said.
A wrecked plane was found six
teen miles from Van Reenen, in the
hills between Natal and the Orange
Free State. Kidston's visiting card
was found on one of the bodies, the
report said,
The message said two airmen
were in the plane and both were
killed.
Kidston left Johannesburg this
morning in a Puss Moth plane to
fly to Natal. A gale was blowing
when he took off. He completed a
spectacular flight from England to
South Africa last month in six days.
Had Charmed Life
Kidston has had many narrow
escapes from death and was regard
ed in England as having a charmed
life. He was in his early thirties and
his Irritation with death began
when he was a 15-year-old cadet
during the war. His ship was tor
pedoed in the North Sea, but he
was among those saved.
Not long afterward the ship to
which he was transferred also was
torpedoed. He was aboard the
Orion when she was shelled heav-
lily at Jutland.
His most miraculous escape was
from a German air liner at Cater
ham, England in November, 1929.
Six people trapped in the plane
were burned to death. Kidston, the
only survivor, suffered only burns on
his hands and face.
Kidston also had several narrow
escapes aboard submarines during
the war.
Racing Boat Wrecked
In May, 1927, he was plotting
racing motorboat off Lee-on-Solent.
With him were his wife and Prince
and Princess George of Neroviski.
When the boat reached speed OF
fifty miles an hour, it broke in two.
Kidston and his passengers were
rescued after half an hour in the
water.
In November, 1928, Kidston char
tered the airplane from which AL
fred LoeWenstein, the Belgian f1nan-
cier. vanished on channel cross
ing. Kidston few to Kenya, Africa,
and was forced down in the Tombe
channel, White Nile. He escaped
unhurt.
Last August, Kidston competed in
the Royal Automobile Club tourist
trophy race at Belfast, one of the
fastest and most dangerous motor
road races in the world. He esti-
mated that he had attained ninety
miles an hour when the crash came.

Romantic Publicity.

By United Press
BUCHAREST, May 5.-Princess
neana, 22-year-old daughter of
Dowager Queen Marie, will be mar
ried in June to Archduke Anton
Won Hapsburg, employe of a Vienna
motion picture company.
The engagement of the princess,
whose ronances since the time Of
her visit to the United States with
her mother have been publicized
widely, was announced officially
Monday night.
Princess Ileana is an attractive,
dark haired girl who has travelled
frequently with her mother in re-
cent years, one journey to Egypt
last year being made in an effort
to end the princess romance with
Count Alexander Won Hochberg, son
of the prince of Pless.
Met in Barcelona
The princess impetuously had an
nounced her engagement to the
count, only to have the government
cancel what she had described as
a true love match.
Archduke Anton, who is 30, first
met the princess at Barcelona,
where he lived until recently. They
became acquainted in 1880, during
the visit of the princess to Spain,
and their friendship eliminated in
the engagement while the princess
was visiting the Hohenzollern palace
at F'reiburg, in Breisgau, Bavaria.
Princess neana, whose friendship
with q West Point cadet during her
visit to the United States first
brought her romantic publicity, has
been, at various times, reported
engaged to most of the eligible
princes of Europe, including the
prince of Wales, King Boris of Bull
garia and others.
Scion of Hapsburgs
ArchdUke Anton is the seventh
child of the Archduke Leopold-Sal-
vator of Hapsburg.
Anton's brother, Leopold Saliva
tor, said today that the archduke
probably will live in Rumania aft
er his marriage.
1t was pointed out that the Euro
pean custom of causing the woman
to provide a dowry has been ap-
piled to royal marriages as well as
those Of commoners since the war,

for some one, it was apparent.
When he didn't see whoever it
was he was looking for, he seemed
a little abaShed.
BY the time a few photogra-
pliers had focused their cameras,
the smile had gone from his face.
ATONE of his family was at the
/ train to greet him, nor were
any of his playmates from the
Pleasant Hill school. There were
just nine children from Towner
who stopped at the railroad
station en- route to their own
school and half dozen grownupS
in the welcoming party.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 27.-Rp-
An estimate of the total funds
needed to prevent acute distress
among unemployed next winter was
sought today By Walter S. Clifford,
national relief director. and his
staff.
Among the evidence being gath
cred were statistics from the chill
dren's bureau Of the labor depart
ment indicating distress viii De
materially greater during the ap-
preaching winter than last.
The children's bureau figures al
50 indicated a larger portion OF
the burden probably will be borne
by money derived from taxation
rather than from voluntary contri-
buttons TO charitable organiza-
tions.
Clifford has not ventured a guess
on the amount necessary 10 meet
needs OF the jobleSs and their fam
lilies but has devoted his time 70
making arrangements for the ma
tional drive for funds and 10 or
ganizing a force to carry II out.
Miss Katherine LenrOot, acting
chief Of the children's bureau. has
been cooperating with the relief
director in making his plans and
has turned over to him data on
conditions.

advised Clifford the distress next
