ProWIer FIees Home With
$40 as Youth Yields
Cane in Pursuit.

A sons courage and a cane
fought a losing battle against a
burglar early today.
Retreating under a furry of
blows from the stick the burglar
escaped with about $40 lodge dues
from the home OF zilpha schenck,
SIT North Sheffield avenue.
He had pushed a key from the
rear door, sneaked through two
rooms into a downstairs bedroom
where Miss Esther Schenck, 25, was
sleeping, and had withdrawn the
money from beneath the mattress.
A creaking floor board and an
erratic step through the dark which
sent him stumbling over rocking
chair, awoke Fred Schenck, 10. In
the gloom Fred saw the form of a
man moving toward the door.
Swinging the cane he lurged at the
intruder and shouted to awaken his
family.
A blow from the burglar before
he dashed through the door to free
dom scratched Fred's cheeks and
arm.
Most disconsolate Of the Schenck
household today was TootS, small,
white, gingery housedog, whose
barks, the family say, never fail to
threaten any stranger near the
house.
But early this morning when a
real burglar came in, Toots was
sleeping at his post. 1t was not
until the entire family was aroused
that his yelps increased the din that
sped the thief away.

He added that the President first

commended that the plan should

The Michigan senator said Mr..
Hoover undoubtedly would be re-

Couzens believed recovery from

Gathering speed eastward down

fore its momentum was checked.
Crashing across the street the car
wrecked an automobile owned by
Charles w. Hyde, 2709 Northwestern

The nations which formed

many for a like period.
Secretary of the Treasury Mellon
has been the Presidents chief aid
in the debt negotiations and Slim
son, who arrived in Italy Monday
is in Europe with no entanglementS
arising from the debt negotiations
to hinder him in conducting his
campaign for disarmament.
Root of Debt Evil
The President is convinced that
competitive ornaments are at the
root of the worlds economic evils
He gave expression to this idea in q
recent speech before the Interna-
tional Chamber Of Commerce
pointing out that the worlds burden
Of hate was costing it $5,000,000,000
annually.
He reiterated the idea Monday
night in announcing the success OF
his debt postponement plan. De-
claring that "the world has need
of solemn thought on the causes
which have contributed to the de-
PRESTON" he added:
st need not repeat that one of
these causes is the burdens i'm
posed and the fears aroused by
competitive armament. Contempla-
ton of the last few weeks should
bring realization that we must
find relief from these fundamental
burdens which today amount to
several times the amount of inter
governmental debts"
Has Pointed Lesson
Just now, after the world has had
a pointed lesson in the economic
distress which follows as heritage
of war, is regarded as the psyche
logical moment to drive home the
necessity of disarmament.
An administration spokesman
said today that the disarmament
question had not been considered
in the question Of debt suspension,
but added:
"Of course we are going to ham
mer away On the disarmament
problem from now on"
With smile of victory after two
weeks Of uncertainty and compl-
Gated negotiations, the President
Monday night announced Frances
acceptance of his plan ''in prin-
ciple." All other countries involved
had given their approval.
The debt holiday will be retroac-
tive to July 1, although the Off
cial agreement reached at Paris
dates it from today. 1t will last I'M
til June 80, 1892. Until then all
governments, including hard
pressed Germany, may keep at

Clarence barrow to Aid
Steye'S Fight Against
High Court Stand.
BY DANIEL M. KIDNEY.


Clarence Darrow, famous Chicago
criminal lawyer, spent this morn
ing at the statehouse trying to find
out what would be the best proce-
dure in the interest Of his client,
D. G. Stephenson.
He conferred with Attorney-Gen-
eral James M. Ogden and Judge
David A. Myers OF the supreme
court, but at noon, neither barrow
nor the Stephenson attorneys had
come to a definite conclusion.
When he returned to his room at
the Claypool, he found a huge bou-
quet of roses labeled From Friends
of D. G. Stephenson"
Darrow was scheduled to appear
before the supreme court this after
noon and argue against a writ of
prohibition forbidding habeas corpus
action for Stephenson in Laporte
superior court.
The morning quest was In an eff
fort to reach a decision as to wheth-
er or not this procedure should be
abandoned. If not, the case is
scheduled to get under way at 2
p. m. A large crowd is expected to
be on hand to hear Darrow talk.
UphOIds Martin View
He will uphold the viewpoint of
Chief Justice Clarence r. Martin
OF the court that the issuance of
a writ of prohibition in the case is
unconstitutional.
The four other judges Of the
court, however, joined in issuing a
temporary writ restraining Judge
Harry L. Crumpacker from hearing
the habeas corpus, and today's ar
gument was on making the writ
permanent.
Kenneth Osborne, Laporte county
attorney, filed a return for Judge
Crumpacker with the court this
morning and a motion to quash the
temporary writ. This Joined the
issues and permits Darrow to argue
If he so decides.
Here for Square Deal
"But I am here in the first place
to see that Stephenson gets a square
deal and a new trial." Darrow de-
clared. 81 am ready to do any
thing to bring that about. For I
feel that the man is not guilty of
murder and is serving an unjust life
sentence"
Stephenson, former Indiana Khan
dragon and political power, is serv-
ing life sentence for the death of
Miss Madge Oberholtzer, an Indi-
annapolis girl. His murder appeal
has been pending, fully briefed, in
the supreme court since 1923.
James H. Parker and B. c. Jen-
kineS, Gary attorneys who instituted
the present habeas corpus action,
are with Darrow in the case and
prepared to proceed.
Darrow, however, pointed out that
should a habeaS corpus action be
successful, the matter only would be
appealed to the supreme court any
way.
Wants to Argue Merits
He would like to argue the merits
of issuing such a writ, which he be-
lieves is not within the jurisdiction
of the court except as an extraor-
binary remedy when the govern
ment itself is threatened, he de-
clared.
"a lawyers duty is to think first
of the welfare of his client, how
ever" Darrow declared.
This is the first case in which the
74-year-old lawyer and social phi
losopher has interested himself in
the last three years.
"And there will be no fees, be-
cause I've quit working for money"
he asserted.
Throughout a long career, OAR
row has done similar things, always
taking the unpopular side of the
case where he feels that justice has
not been done.
