So GO DOWN
ON CADET SHIP
Four Master, Overturned in
SquaII, Is Lost. .

By UHtte0 Press
KEEL. Germany, July 27.-War-
ships, submarines and airplanes
searched in vain today for sixty
nine German naval cadets and sail
ors who went down with the four
masted barque Niobe, which sank
in the Baltic within four minutes
after a sudden squall.
Keepers of the light on Fehman
lightship, only witnesses to the dis
aster, told how the barque was
caught with full sail and laid on
beam ends before the cadets or crew
could right her.
If the masts had broken, seamen
believed, the Niobe would have re-
manned afloat. but the top-heavy
weight dragged her down, once she
went over. The practice of old
time sailors was to cut away the
rigging and let the masts go by the
board, thus enabling the ship to
right itself.
The freighter Terese Russ, the
nearest ship to the Niobe, rushed to
the scene and picked up the only
survivors rescued, numbering be-
tween thirty-six and forty. They
were brought here by the German
cruiser Koenigsberg. Among those
known to have been saved were
Commander Ruhfuss of the Niobe,
eighteen midshipmen and seventeen
of the crew.
Count Felix Won Luckner, famous
German seamon, was first COM
mander of the Niobe when she was
commissioned after the World war.

REVOKE CHURCH
RADIO PERMIT
Utility Wins First Battle in
Broadcast War.

First skirmish in the battle of
the Rev. Morris H. Coers, pastor of
the Thirty-First Street Baptist
church, to establish radio broad
casting station has been won by
the indianapolis Power and Light
Company, Mr.. Coers' multi million
aire opponent.
This was learned today with re-
ceipt of a message from James w.
Baldwin, secretary of the federal
radio commission at Washington,
which states Mr.. Coers' station per-
nit had been revoked.
This was done automatically, ac-
cerding to Baldwin, under rules of
the commission and after the objec-
tons of the Indianapolis utility
were filed.
Mr.. Coers petition for the sta
ton now stands as it did two weeks
ago, before the commission hads is
sued an operating permit.
officials of the church and hun
dreds of persons and musical or
CARNATIONS, interested in Mr.. Coers'
proposal to broadcast only re-
ligious and the higher grade of
musical programs, are supporting
the 23year-old pastor in his bat
tie to establish the station.
Letters have been received by The
Times from several north side per-
sons stating their desire for a
station which would transmit some
thing more than advertising and
jazz programs"
Mr.. Coers believes he will be able
to enlist sufficient support to regain
his permit at hearing before the
federal commission.

CHICAGO, July 27.-Melvin A.
Traylor, president of the First Ma
tional bank Of Chicago, charged
today that a nationwide plot to
destroy public confidence in banks
has been m operation for many
weeks.
Meantime, George Rowland, alias
George Salzman, wanted by Mich
igan police in connection with re-
ported communistic plot to blast
the banks of the middle west
through destruction Of public con-
fidence, was reported either in Chi
cago or en- route here.
There is not the slightest doubt
that persons seeking the overthrow
of the American banking system
have carried on their attacks in all
parts of the country" Traylor said.
They have worked through anony-
nous letters, anonymous telephone
calls, false rumors and in other
ways.
Il believe the recent runs on the
First National and other Chicago
banks we're caused, at least in part,
by this destructive and subversive
campaign"

The mother, Mrs. Margaret Crit

after the child's birth.
In court, Griffin testified he did
not want children" and that he
will be glad to submit to a blood

His wife, Mrs. Louise Jones, several
months before she died, took the
child into her home and called it
her own, to hide her mates mis-
deed.
So well did Mrs. Jones keep the
secret, one of her brothers said at
the hearing today that he never
doubted the baby had been born to
his sister.
When Mrs. Jones died, she gave
the baby into the care of her sis
ter, Mrs Mamie Jarrett, 619 Fay
cite street. When the girl appeared
at the Jarrett home Tuesday to
claim the child, her request was
refused. An alteration followed,
resulting in police call.

temporarily in custory of Mrs. Jar
rett, but said the child would be
turned over to the mother when she
proves she can provide a home

CHICAGO, July 27.-September
wheat prices doomed 21s cents to-
day on the Chicago Board Of Trade
with indications that the public is
beginning to come back into the
market.
September futures closed at SIG
cents per bushel, almost nickel
higher than the low of last week.
Persistent buying by commission
houses and professionals boosted the
price to the high and held it with
in fraction OF that mark until the
close.
The commission house activity in
dicated the publics money, so long
absent from the pit, was beginning
to flow back, which was in turn
heralded as another bright spot on
the business horizon.
Most observers are agreed that a
turn away from the depression will
come first in rising commodity
prices. Recent rises in livestock
prices, and today's squirt in wheat,
were hailed by market optimists as
a turn for the better.
The prices swept upward despite
the stop-loss orders of short sellers,
who had figured the market to go
down.

DETROIT, July 27-Hunt for
George Rowland, alias George Salz-
man, wanted by police in connec-
ton with a purported Communist
plot to disrupt confidence in Amerl-
can banks, centered in Chicago to-
day.
Rowland left his hotel in Pontiac,
Mich, Saturday noon to meet Will
liam a. Foster, Communist candl-
date for President, on his arrival
in Detroit, police say.
Word was left with the hotel
management to forward mail or
parcels to him c. o. D., care OF
general delivery, Chicago, Captain
Ira H. Marmon of the Michigan
state police, said.
Marmon was to begin series Of
conferences today with Commits
sioner Oscar Olander of the state
police, Prosecutor Clarence Smith of
Oakland county, and officials of the
First National bank in Pontiac,
Mich, to determine whether federal
aid would be sought in the case.
Phone Wires Tapped
Following a series of false ru-
mors concerning banks in Ohio, In
diana and Illinois, Rowland arrived
in Pontiac two weeks ago and be-
gan a campaign to discredit the
solvency of the First National bank
there. Marmon said
His activities were revealed by
listening to his telephone converse
tons at hotel.
Seized documents told of CON
siderable run on jugs banks in the
Chicago loop. Big accounts, nervous
and soon will be panicky.
Rowland signed his correspond
ence &c. r., director of education
and propaganda" Marmon declared.
Faces Felony Charge
In event the federal government
does not intervene, Marmon said,
Rowland would be returned to Por-
tiac, If captured and charged in
two counts of syndicalism, and the
spreading of false rumors, a felony
in the state of Michigan.
Rowland divided his scene of OPP
erations into districts, Marmon
claimed.
Illinois was district 6; Ohio dis
trict and Michigan district T.
False telephone calls made under
fictitious names played a major role
in the campaign to undermine
banks, Marmon said.
