ARSON SUSPECT
TRIES SUICIDE
Delphi Man Has Confessed,
Officials Claim.

Revived after an effort to end
his life by inhaling fumes from the
engine of his automobile. Joe C.
Sterrett. 38, was to be arraigned to-
day in Carroll circuit court at Del
phi on a charge Of attempting
arson. H. R. Cune, deputy state
fire marshal, announces he obtained
a confession from Sterrett Monday.
According to the purported con-
fession, Sterrett blames gossip for
his attempt to set fire to a bakery
and flour mill he owns at Delphi.
Authorities say the gossip was due
to an alleged love affair with an
18-year-old girl. Sterrett has a wife
and four children.
Two weeks ago kerosene soaked
cloth sacks were found in the attic
of Sterrett's mill and bakery Near
by was a candle, flame Of which was
eXtinguished.
McCune started his inquiry short
ly after discovery of the fire set up.
and Monday, Delphi police, at his
request, phoned Sterrett to come to
headquarters. His failure to arrive
caused officers to visit his home
where they found him in a semi
conscious condition in the rear seat
of the automobile. Doors were
closed and the engine running.
Shortly after he was revived, the
confession was made, according 10
McCune.

Congressman Faces Ban of
Anti Saloon League for
SCathing Statement.
BY WALKER STONE
Times staff Writer


WASHINGTON, March 15.-Hur-
riedly attempting to get himself
right with the overwhelming wet
vote in Vigo county, Representative
CORTLAND c. Gillen, Democrat of
Greencastle, issued formal state
ment today, explaining his vote of
Monday against the prohibition
referendum.
Gillen suggested that federal
liquor dispensary system should be
considered in its stead.
Gillen said that he voted against
the Beck-Linthicum resolution be-
cause it would have placed the
liquor question back where it was
before the eighteenth amendment,
and because it made possible the re-
turn of the saloon.
His statement was a scathing in
dictment of social conditions under
prohibition, and it undoubtedly will
result in having his name placed on
the black list of the Anti-Saloon
League and making prohibition the
principal issue in the Forthcoming
campaign between Gillen and Rep
reSentative Fred Purnell (Rep., At
tica). Purnell voted against the
Beck-Linthicum resolution, and let
his vote stand as his record. His
performance was according to the
Anti-Saloon League code, but Gillen
broke one of the dry ORGANIZATIONS
cardinal rules of conduct when he
criticised the current prohibition
setup and suggested a reform.
Gillen will be the sixth Hoosier
congressman on the Anti-Saloon
Leagues black list. Five others
PettengiIl, Boehne, Griswold, Wood
and Vestal-in effect defied the drys
Monday when they voted for the
Beck-Linthicum resolution. Wood
however, is a "dry" and would vote
so.

the Germans carried their ad-

Continuing of Liquidation
Is Predicted by Haney

for some progress at Lausanne.
To the extent that fears Of
a complete breakdown Of Ger
man finances or a general col
lapse in Central Europe have
played any part in the market,
Lausanne may be constructive.
It may provide a workable basis
for another six months or so.
Few BulliSh Factors
The growing prospects of the
repeal of the Eighteenth Amend
ment will be considered as bull
iSh by many, although it can not
occur for a long while.
The continued squirt in the
prices Of hogs and cattle will
help many farmers.
These points, however, are
about all one can say on the
bullish side.
I look for a retreat by the
Spectators who bought for q
June rise, and steady liquidation
by the thousands of small invest.
ors who have swelled the lists Of
stockholders our largest cor
porations.
