SCHOOL ECONOMY
[COntinaed from FirH PAgs1

eighth grades in Comegys School,
near Dover.
Specifications for equipment of
Delaware City and MarshalltOn
schools were approved.
A delegation of Rehoboth citizens,
headed by Daniel Anderson, made a
plea for new high school at that
place. 1t was pointed out that Re-
hOboth is now becoming an import
ant place and that the present
school building is out of date and
the grounds are not of sufficient size
for athletic purposes. There has
been no appropriation made which
would cover this school but the del
egatiOn was told that the matter
would be considered.
Kent asked for a new school
house to cost $23, 800. The necessary
steps were taken for this school
some time ago but nothing was ever
done. E. William Martin was direct
ed to make plans for the proposed
school.

FOXX Perils RutRS Home Run Mark
After knocking at the door of the
home run championship of the Am
erican League for three years, Jim
my FOxx, first baseman of the Phil
adelphia Athletics is setting a pace
that if maintained seems destined to
give him the hOnors for 1882. Foxx
began to be prominent in a home
run way in 1929 when he knocked
out 35 circuit clOuts. In 1880 he
boosted his total to 81 but in 1881
with the advent of the slightly dead
er ball he fell to 80. Averaging one
to almost every two games in OBJ
tanning his first q this season, jim
my could easily surpass Babe Ruth's
record of 60 made in 1927, if he
maintains his present gait, for the
same ratio for the remainder of this
season would give the AS ace SO.
FOxx came up to the Athletics from
EastOn of the Eastern Shore League
where he played third base, in the
Outfield and behind the bat in 1925.
Although he hit .667 in ten games he
was sent to Providence for further
seasoning. Recalled in 1926 he play
ed catcher, third baseman and first
baseman until 1929 when he was
stationed permanently at first. Since
then he has altered occasionally at
the hot corner. Except for last sea-
son he has hit consistently above
the three hundred mark, dropping to
291 last year; the lowest average of
his career.

MacFayden ReinfOrces Lanks

Bob Quinn finally surrendered.
After holding off for several years
against trade proffers for his be-
spectacled pitcher, Danny MacFay-
den, the Red Sox chief turned him
over to the New York Yankees on
June in exchange for Henry John
son and Ivy Andrews, both right
handed twirlers. Baseball observers
considered it a good exchange for
Quinn inasmuch as he got twO-fOr-
one for a man who had failed to
maintain his usual high standard of
work in the early games. MacFay-
den, however. had pitched. in hard
luck for the Red Sox this year. He
lost five games before he entered the
win column, but several of these re-
verses were heartbreakers. At the
time of joining the Yanks he had
record of one win in eleven starts.
MacFayden's major league history is
a story of five full seasons with the
Red SOx, the last three of which
saw him make better winning rec
ord than his club. In 1881 he had 16
victories against IL defeats. Quinn
picked MacFayden off the twilight
lots of greater Boston during the
1926 season and Danny has never
pitched in the minors. He was born
at PrOvincetown, Mass, and he is q
years old.

BIN Terry. McGraw's SuccessO

billy Ierfys McGraW'S successor
Stepping boldly into the shoes of
a pilot who has held power for more
than 80 years and is acclaimed as
one of the most successful mana
gers in the game, Bill Terry, new
leader of the New York Giants, has
entered confidently upon a difficult
task. in the full knowledge that his
efforts will be subjected to search
ing scrutiny by the entire baseball
world throughout the season. 1t is
so long since the Giants have been
led by anyone but John McGraw or
one of his coaching lieutenants that
the memory of even the old-timers
runneth not to the contrary. But
Terry has accepted the responsible
ity without apparent trepidatiOn and
with firm hand on the reins. Terry
has been a member of the New York
Giants since 1924, coming to them
from Toledo after he had finished
out the previous season as manager
of Toledo, succeeding George Whit
ted in that position during the mid
die of the season. Except for his
first season with the Giants and
again in 1926 Terry has hit well ov-
er 300, topping off his batting feats
in 1880 with an average of .401 and
being named that year as the most
player IN the National
League

debtedness and the per cent ac-
crued interest.
Involved in the financial load TO
be met by taxation are scores OF
unimproved lots in Rainbow Ridge
addition, near Speedway City.
Wesley Ryan, indianapolis con-
tractor. obtained loans totaling more
than $50 900 on these lots, on APP
proval of Harry Dunn, former
county auditor.
According to statements of offi-
Gals, revealed by The Times, the
law, limiting loans to $4,000 TO any
individual, was evaded through use
of nineteen persons names in the
transaction.
This law that makes a real estate
office of the county auditors office
is all wrong" Boetcher declared.
He referred to the law creating
the school fund, and requiring the
county to loan it at per cent in
terest. The county must pay inter-
est annually regardless of failure
to collect from borrowers.
The public should know about
these loans, and understand how
they are made" John S. Newhouse,
councilman, said.
The council advised County Audi
tor Charles A Grossart to limit
future loans from the common
school fund.

C. 0. P. EXPECTS
UTILITY AID TO
CAMP A|CN FUND
RooSeveIt'S Portland Speech
to Align Big Interests
With Hoover'S Camp.

BIZ Scripps-H otcGrd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.-Gov-
ernor Franklin D. Roosevelt's eight
point program for federal regula-
ton of public utilities is expected by
politicians to give impetus to Re-
publican efforts to collect $780,
600 campaign fund.
The Portland speech, they say,
definitely will align public utility
and allied interests with President
Herbert Hoover and against Roose-
welt.
Roosevelt, himself, anticipated
such consequence when he told
his hearers to judge him by the
enemies he has made.
Public utility interests long have
opposed Roosevelt. Their opposition
began soon after he became Gov
ernor of New York when he adopted
the policy of making the st. Law
renee water power resources avail
able for all New Workers at the
lowest possible COST
These interests secretly sought to
prevent Roosevelt'S nomination by
the Democratic convention, and
even after the convention convened
several of their workers endeavored
to diSsuade RooSevelt-pledged dele
gates from voting for him.
Aligned With Norris Liberals
Now that Roosevelt has declared
open warfare on them and their
present methods, it is expected that
many in the power industry will dis
play more energy in efforts to halt
him. Under the corrupt practices
law, corporations can not contribute
directly to political campaign funds.
In his Portland speech, Roosevelt
aligned himself with the Norris lib
erals for power policies which east
ern financial and political interests
have termed radical"
But until he reached Portland his
speeches, even though sharply criti-
cal of President Hoover and his
policies, were not of the nature to
make the radical charge stick.
In Portland, however, Roosevelt
not only attacked practices of big
business and pointed to the collapse
of the insult utilities structure as
proof of his charges, but he warmly
praised Senator George Norris.
G. o. P. Welcomes Issue
He created an issue which G.. o.
P. politicians privately and enthu-
siastically welcome, even though
they are careful not to assail him
too vehemently in public.
He furnished, politicians say, a
theme whereby Republican cam
paign collectors and whisperers can
charge that he is unsafe
Joseph r. Mutt, Republican ma
tional committee treasurer, has been
identified with public utilities in
terests in the past, and so have
some of his associates on the finance
committee. .
Democratic politicians take the
attitude that for every conservative
business vote Roosevelt will lose
votes which he probably would not
have gotten any wayne will gain
several additional votes.

said he would be there several
weeks.
That was the last that the
brothers ever he q =, SO far as is
known.
NOW the triangular question
IN arises: Did DR.. Brancati dis
appear voluntarily and write these
letters and kilograms himself?
Or was he kidnapped and forced
to write them by his captors?
Or was he murdered by men
who slew him, then forged his
name to this chain of missives?
There is no satisfactory answer.
But still stranger thing hap
pened:
A day or so after DR.. Brancati's
disappearance on Nov. 10, 1928,
his brokers received from DR..
Brancati a note which directed
them to turn over to the bearer
one Luigi Romano-hiS $234,OO0
account, which the brokers did.
1t is said that DR.. Brancati had
introduced Romano to them the
previous autumn.
Romano-who now has become
a flrSt-class man of mystery
drew out all but $4,000 and de-
posted $225,O00 in cash in a bank
in New York's Italian section. In
less than two weeks he had with
drawn the money from the bank,
$4,000 at a time, until only $292.82
remained.
Then Romano vanished, adding
another battling chapter to the
mysterious chain of events. No
trace of Romano ever was found.
TN April, when DR.. Brancati's
Il brothers finally reported his
disappearance, detectives searched
the old mansion where the miss
ing millionaire had lived.
In Brancati's bedroom they
found three bullet holes in the
ceiling and another in the man
telpiece. From woodwork near
the mantel they dug a .38-caliber
bullet.
In the room were a number of
other things; three dozen bottles
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1932-09-24

of ginger ale, pair of woman's
slippers, some medical books and
surgical instruments, a lot of
torn letters.
One of these, written in Italian,
addressed Dr. Brancati as you
Big Villain" and threatened him
because of an affair with a woman.
IN November, 1929, Captain
L Thomas Brancati, for thirty
years a police detective in Italy,
came to America and conducted
an unsuccessful search for his
brother.
He said he was convinced his
brother had been kidnapped and
later killed when the money was
removed from his account.
Later, Brancati's brothers pc
titioned the courts to declare the
doctor dead, so disposition could
be made of his estate.
But before this, District Attor-
ney Mcclellan announced that he
no longer was interested in the
case, being convinced that DR..
Brancati effaced himself deliber-
ately.
If crime had been committed,
Mcclellan added, it had not been
committed in Bronx county.
Meanwhile, Assistant United
States Attorney Alvin Sylvester
dug deeper into reports that DR..
Brancati had been partner in
huge drug ring.
Others expressed the opinion
that Brancati's fight had a con-
nection with the murder of Arm
old Rothstein, the big-time gam
bier, who was said to have been
interested in narcotics on a whole
sale scale.
But, dead or alive, DR.. Brancati
is still a mystery.
