Relatives Live Here

Moves to apprehend kidnapers of
Howard Woolverton, wealthy South
Bend manufacturer, were being
watched closely today by Clifford
Harrod, head of the Indianapolis
Power and Light Company, and
Mrs. Laura Sheedy, 1912 North
Meridian street, cousins of Wool
Verton.
Harrod said Woolverton often Wis
tied him in his Office on trips to
indianapolis, the last being several
weeks ago.
Meanwhile, state police, at the re-
quest of Frank Mayr Jr., secretary
of state, former South Bend resi-
dent, we're en- route to northern In
diana to aid in the search. Mayr
and Mrs. Mayr had hurried to
South Bend early today.
Chief Grover Garrett and a squad
of eleven state officers, including
Captain Rex Fisher, five lieutenantS
and five patrolmen, left the state
house early today.
E. L. Osborne, head Of the state
criminal identification bureau and
a staff of hnger-print experts, also
were in South Bend.

Majority of the resolutions we're

Fifty-two resolutions declared for
home rule for the districts, while
nineteen recommended that, be-
cause of the decrease of members
and resulting loss of income, the
salaries of the officials be made to
conform to the standard set by, con-
ditiOnS among the miners.
Two Indiana locals, those at
Francisco and Dresser, are leading
in the fight to scale down the Of
hcers' salaries. The fight for home
rule is waged by almost every dis
trict.
This results from the attempts of
President Lewis to set up a pro-
visional government for the Illinois
fields last year, which brought court
injunctions forbidding the United
Mine workers to interfere and a
cost to the international of $50, 900.
Present annual salaries of the Of
