FACE DILEMMA
ON TOWN LAW
Officials Violate Code by
City Hall Parking.

With Ernest G. Ropkey, president
of the city council, demanding that
drivers of public owned automobiles
observe the town law the same as
"NIr. Citizen" members of the
safety board today faced a dilemma
existing literally on their doorstep"
AS in hundreds of other places in
the downtown area, parking is pro-
hibited on Alabama street i'll front
of the city hall. And the rule is en-
forced rigidly, especially in cases of
unsuspecting motorists who have
business to conduct with the city.
But today, Louis Muchie, deputy
sheriff, driving a county car, parked
illegally and "gct by with it," He
served several summons in the city
building, and when he returned, the
car was undiSturbed.
Observers recalled that Ropkey
publicly demanded that The safety
board enforce the tow-in ordinance
on public-owned cars as we'll as the
privately owned.

Halloween is pass and there is
little danger of the COLLINS gettin'
you "if you don's watch out" but
Hoffman Diederich, 1245 West Ray
street, found Wednesday that the
police tow-in truck will get you
whether you watch out or not.
Diederich, who drives an Essex
coupe, received a request from a
friend, Miss Mary GLADDEN., a sales
woman in the radio department of
the Pettis dry goods store, to de-
liver radio late Wednesday after
1oon-too late for the Pettis de-
livery trucks to handle the order.
Intent upon doing a good turn,
Diederich drove to the rear entrance
of the Pettis store, got out OF his
car and went to the door to get the
radio.
When he turned around, with the
radio in his arms, he saw his car
going down the alley behind po-
lice tow-in truck.
II wasn't out of my car thirty
seconds" Diederich said this morn
ing. They surely do work fast"
Witnesses of the incident stated
police were parked in an incon-
spicuous place, waiting for just such
a "break" as Diederich gave them.

Changes in taxicab stands and

Greenfield Newspaper Asks
for Less Publicity on
Poison Case.
BIZ Times Speoial

By Times Special
GREENFIELD, Ind, Nov. I'm
a lead editorial, the Greenfield Re
porter urges newspapers to refrain
from publishing what it considers
uncalled for publicity regarding the
Simmons poison case. After a five
week trial a jury which heard
first degree murder case against
Mrs. Carrie Simmons, charged with
poisoning her daughter Alice Jean,
failed to agree.
Captioned I'm the Name of Mercy,

follows:
1.-THE family of John and Carrie
Simmons, Hancock county residents,
have had enough publicity. Ex-
plotted by the press to the last de-
gree almost constantly for five
months, their smallest and most in
significant moves magnif1ed and
misinterpreted, their tragic grief
and sorrow exposed to public gaze,
scorned, criticised, lied about, mis-
understood, they now want nothing

creep back quietly into the home

high time some managing editor,
slipping for a moment from his role
as news gathering machine to his
natural character as just plain hu-
man, feels the pull of sympathy
toward that poor, stricken and be-
reaved family and sends the order
out. The attitude of some newspa-
pers in the case has been almost
beyond comprehension.
I'VE notice a newspaper which
stated that Boone county officers
were sounding public sentiment be-
fore making a decision as to whether
there would be any more trials.

Immediately after that state
ment, in the same article, the cor
respondent cut loose with some
shaded conclusions and innuendoS
very obviously designed to influence
the necessary public opinion toward
gratifying the desires of the prose-
cutting officers, still seeking justifi-
cation for the indictment, embar-
rasSment and pain which they
brought down on Mrs. Simmons.

stuff designed solely to hold public
interest or to crystalline sentiment

Jefferson D. Cole, %, of Gibson

preached two men seated in an au-

The two men were Detectives

he was hungry. Kurrasch and
Staleup offered to take him to the

''Oh, 1 can't eat that d tuff !;
my stomach is too delicate" the de-

"Then you can eat of the fare at

Sheaffer extracted a promise from
Cole to "be out of town within half
an hour" and dismissed a vagrancy

MANY DAYS AT
SEA, RESCUED
Picked Up by Mine Sweeper
After Frantic Time on
Stormy Caribbean.
CAPTAIN BADLY HURT
Drifting LifeboatS Were
Sighted First From Air
and Reported.
United Press

By United Press
BALBOA, Canal Zone, Nov. r.
Eleven men who drifted helplesSly
for days in lifeboats on storm tossed
Caribbean waters were rescued alive
today by the United States mine
sweeper Swan.
They had tossed about in the life
boats since their steamer, the Ba-
den Baden, was wrecked in a sud-
den tropical storm.
For days rescue had been near.
Pilot Ormsbee of the Pan-American
Anyways sighted the drifting boats
last Saturday as he swung his big
plane over the regular air course.
He could make no landing on the
charming sea.
He could only signal back to the
frantic waving of the caStawayS,
signifying he had seen them, and
then rush on to advise authorities
of their whereabouts.
Rescue Mission Started
Immediately rescue missions were
started. Ships plying in that area
were advised to be on the lookout.
The Swan was started from the
Canal Zone. Three naval sea-
planes were put out from here and
checker boarded the approximate
vicinity in which the men had been
sighted.
Earlier advices had indicated
fourteen persons were adrift, a man
and woman on life raft, one
man hanging to an oil drum and
the eleven in the life boats.
They were all from the 500-ton
Costa Rican vessel which normally
carried a crew of fifteen and had
two passengers aboard on the pres
ent trip. It's skipper is an Ameri-
can named Waller.
Captain Seriously Hurt
All members of the Baden Baden
crew were reported uninjured and
in good condition except the cap
tain, who was reported as "a
Stretcher case from spine injuries"
A navy radiogram said there had
been but sixteen men in the crew
of the Baden Baden and that five
were known to be dead. The Swan
is proceeding to the Coco Solo base
with survivors.
When the rescue was made the
Swan was fifty miles north of West
Cartagena.
The Baden Baden formerly was a
rotor ship, the first of its kind. 1t
was equipped with pivot rotor power
which acted somewhat like sails.
It's inventor, Anton Fletner, had
high hopes that it would revolu-
tionize shipping and he envisioned
great transatlantic passenger liners
equipped with his wind" engines.
However, the shipping world, at
first fascinated, later looked upon
the Baden Baden as nothing more
than just freak"
AS a result the vessel was stripped
of its rotors at the Staten Island
shipbuilding yards in the summer of
1928 and sent to sea looking like
any cargo carrier.
The rotor" was in effect a
cylinder against which the wind
blew, revolving it and furnishing
power for propulsion.

COLLEGEVILLE, Ind, Nov. H.
With solemn ceremony a replica of
the famous Lourdes shrine in
France will be dedicated at st. Jo-
seph'S college here Sunday after
noon. A procession will move from
the college chapel to a grove where
the shrine is located. The Very Rev.
Ignatius A. Wagner, provincial of
the Society Of the Precious Blood,
will conduct a service of blessing,
and a sermon will be delivered by
the Rev. Ildephonse Rapp, after
WHICH the procession will return to
the chapel for benediction of the
blessed sacrament.
Much Material Used
More than 1900 tons of material
stone, sand and cement-were used
in erection of the building housing
the shrine. The structure is 153 feet
long and has height Of twenty
two feet at the tallest point, which
is marked by a figure of the Virgin.
A skilled combination of architec-
ture and landscaping, the latter in
Guiding paths, waterfalls, statues,
flowers and shrubbery, have elimi-
mated what might have been too
heavy effect in a less appropriate
background.
Flood lights enhance the beauty
of the structure at night.
Marble From Italy
In addition to the LourdeS replica
there is a second shrine, twelve by
thirty feet, lighted only through a
small window at the top. This shrine
contains a figure of a kneeling
Christ, carved from white Carrara
marble. 1t is modelled after Hof-
mann's famous painting Christ in
Gethsemane" and is a product of
the Daprato Statuary Company,
pontif1cal institute of Christian art.
The marble is from the quarry at
Pietrasnata, Italy. The figure is life
size. This room also contains rustic
kneeling benches.
The original LourdeS shrine is in
the department of Hautes PyrenneS,
France. A peasant girl, Bernadotte
Soubiroux, at the age of IA reported
that a grotto had been the scene of
eighteen apparitions of the Virgin
and at one time the child was COM
manded to drink from spring in
the grotto. 1t is the scene of annual
pilgrimages of the sick, having been
visited by 4,919,OO0 persons from
1867 to 1903.

a high order.
So when Mr.. Hoover's

a charge of illegal possession
of liquor in Santa Monica,
Cal, it was big news, particu-
larly in the town where Mr..
Hoover lives. Until a late hour

be run off the presses. All
over the city rang the cry:

Aside from the court, his public
activities are confined to leader

(He is the first and only Jew on

constantly consulted by people of
every type.
Leaders of industries and of
social causes come with their

at his detailed knowledge of the
state of the union and the state

interest. He was counsel for the

cases.
He led the tight to preserve
Boston's municipal subway, plas-
tered the Taft administration in

sailed and licked the old New
