RAIDS BREAK UP
BIG CRIME RING
IN MIDDLE WEST
Police OF Three States
Cooperate To Make Ar
rests.

CHICAGO, April 30. UPE-Police
of three states operating in con
cert arrested 10 men and women
today in a series of raids and
charged them with % bank hold
ups and one of the midWe5ts most
sensational kidnapings.
Chief Investigator Pat Roche of
the Cook county states attorney
office said confessions had been
obtained from several of the
captiYes.
The raids, a highly spectacular
series, occurred simultaneously at
Chicago Heights, Ill, Racine, Wis,
Lafayette, Ind, and Pendleton,
Ind
Roche characterized the arrests
as sounding the death knell OF one
OF the most highly organized Grim
inal bands in the central states.
The kidnapping which police
claimed was solved by the roundup
was that Of Howard A. Woolyerton,
81, prominent South Bend Ind,
industrialist, who was held for
S50,0o0 ransom during the winter.
He was released after at least part
Of the ransom was believed paid.
The raids followed several
months Of intensive undercover
work by members of the Chicago
Secret Six" businessen's crime
fighting organization, state author
tiles of Illinois, Indiana and Wis
consin and Chicago police.
Roche said the arrests came as
sequel to the recent arrest and
conviction of an Indiana sheriff
as a member Of a ba1k raiding
ring which had headquarters at
Chicago Heights. Investigators,
following the trail Of clues uncoy-
cred at that time, discovered ex-
tensiYe operations CT the ring
which had not been suspected pre-
Viously, Roche said.
-Four of the 10 held were women
but police were not certain they
were definitely linked with hold
ups and abductions charged
against the gang.

ed this morning by the grand jury's

that the present financial and &C.
onomic condition of the taxpayers
is such that they are unable to
further stand the burden of tax
alton placed upon them for school
purposes, and since it is evident
that there will be a reduction in
tax collection, the greater part Of
which gees to the county schools,
the committee submitted a detailed
schedule whereby the schools of
the county may effect a 25 per
cent reduction.
The 1892 budget is s1,31S,-
691.0S, and the estimated cut is
$685., ,944.33. It is recommend
cd that teachers and principals

proportion: $780, 1900, Is per
cent; Sl501-20O9, 20 per cent;
S2001-2500, Is per cent; S250l-
5000, so per cent; $500, So
per cent; S350l- 1000, 40 per
cent; S4O0l-4500, As per cert,
and $4,000, so per cent.
1t is further recommended in the
report that the following sums be

Grafton Of school plant, $4,000;
maintenance of school plant,
$4,000; capital outlay, new build
ings, $4,000; auxiliary agencies,

tors and other employees; that
wherever possible, school busses

Charged with the murder of his
wife, Mrs. Frances Nicholson Orn-

tain farmer of Star Tannery, was
held for the grand jury yester.
day by a full magistrates bench.
Unable to post $1,000 bond,
he was committed to jail.
Orndorff was taken into Gus

month ago after a Statewide
search had failed to discover
Mrs. Orndorff, who has been
missing since December 20.
Defense counsel yesterday
asked the dismissal of the
charges on the ground that as
the body of Mrs. Orndorff had
never been found, no corpus
delicti had been established.
Sheriff Pannett said that Orn-
dorff was charged after he had
repeatedly given the police false
clues.
