FIEND HURLS TORCH INTO
HOME, PERILING LIVES OF
NINE SLEEPING PERSONS
House Is Destroyed by
Blaze After Occupants
Narrow Escape.

A torch fiend who set fire to a
residence in the southeast section of
the city early oday, periling the lives
o fnine persons, including five small
children, is sought today by police.
The residence, that OF Frank
Martin, 1929 Fullenwider street, was
destroyed after members of two
families fed into the street in their
night clothes. Damage was esti-
mated at approximately $1,000.
Two children of Mr.. and Mrs.
Martin were saved from possible
death or serious injury, as were
three small children Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Edward Jenkins, also occu-
pants Of the house.
Battle Blaze Two Hours
Firemen battled the blaze for
nearly two hours after the alarm
was sounded at a. m, but failed
to save the structure.
jenkins, first to discover the house
in flames, told police that a fam
ing torch had been tossed through
an open window adjoining the bed
room in which he and his wife were
sleeping. AS he was awakened, the
flames we're spreading rapidly, he
said.
He awoke Mr.. aid Mrs. Martin,
sleeping on the second floor Of the
seven-room house, and they reused
their two children, Ella and Chester.
Jenkins and his wife, Yovon, 10,
carried their three children into
the street.
Pet Dog Burns to Death
Only a few scattered pieces of
furniture we're saved by the two
men before flames enveloped the
structure.
Intense heat of the fire sccrched
dozens of chickens in a pen ad-
joining the house.
A Boston Bull terrier, pet of the
family, was burned to death.
Jenkins and Martin told firemen
the family had no enemies and they
could account for no motive on part
of the fiend.
The home was located in the CEN
ter of a large field with no other
residences near.

MENACE SEEN
IN 10 MILLION
U. S. JOBLESS
Starving in Poverty, Wait
ing ImpatientIy to Earn
LiVingS,' Says Green.

By Scripps-HoiC0rd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON. June 4. AS
both houses of congress prepared
to consider relief measures next
week, the American Federation Of
Labor today estimated that ten and
a half million persons we're out of
work in March of this year.
This revised figure, much higher
than any announced previously by
the federation. is based on Stats
tics gathered by the United States
government, rather than trade
union estimates.
William Green, president Of the
federation, explaining the method
by which his new estimate has been
made, said today he is confident it
is conservative.
He pointed out that unemploy-
ment has increased by at least
100000 persons since March, that
one fifth of those now normally
employed are without work, and
that unemployment now is higher
than ever before in history.
Looking for Help
These ten millions of unem-
ployed are looking to congress fof
help" siad Green. They want
work. They impatiently are look
ing for plans that will provide them
opportunity to earn living.
Poverty is starving these millions
physically and spiritually. Vital
questions are dominating discussion
in homes and meeting places all
over the country.
"Deep-seated unrest is every
where apparent. Men and women
are near desperation. They ask for
an opportunity to earn their daily
bread.
THE increase in credit and de-
crease in bank failures mean moth
ing to them, if jobs are not forth
coming as a consequence"
Democratic members of The house
agreed Friday night, after lengthy
caucus, to support to the limit
Speaker John M. Gamers $2-20O,-
600. 900 relief bill. including billion
dollar public works provision.
Up for Vote Tuesday
The measure will come up for a
vote Tuesday, under present plans,
with rules giving no opportunity for
amendment.
The vote will be close. Republican
leaders have thrown their whole
strength against the measure, and
will seek to defeat it, and offer later,
the smaller relief plan Of the Presi-
dent, to be accomplished through
Reconstruction Finance Corporation
loans, and without any public works
construction.
The senate banking and currency
committee probably will act today
on the Wagner relief bill, drawn by
senate Democrats, so that it may be
ready for consideration as soon as
the economy bill is out of the way.

HOLDING BACK
ON DRY ISSUE
No Action Will Be Taken by
Chiefs Until National
Plank Draft Arrives.
REFERENDUM FAVORED
go Per Cent of Chairmen
Are Willing to Let People
Vote on Question.
BY BEN STERN

Although 80 per cent OF the Re-
publican district chairm2n and vice
chairmen desire a platform plank
recommending a referendum on
prohibition, no action will be taken
by party leaders until a copy of the
announcement being framed for
the national convention is received
here.
This plank, now in the process Of
being written in washington under
direction of James R. Garfield,
slated to be chairman of the ma
tional platform committee, is ex-
pected to be received Tuesday, de-
clared Ivan c. Morgan, state chair
man.
Morgan's announcement followed
the meeting late Friday of the state
committee with the interrelations
group of the c.. o. P. State Edi-
torial Association.
Majority of the Indiana leaders
present, although expressing will
ingness to include a referendum
plank, begged it does not bear the
earmarks of being wet"
ResubmisSiOn Is Urged
Despite this walk carefully" atti-
tude, John w. Scott of Gary, First
district chairman, is determined the
platform declare for resubmiSSion Of
the eighteenth amendment to the
states and repeal Of the Wright
bone dry" law.
UNLESS we have such a plank in
the platform the Republican party
will be on the spot in Lake county
this fall" Scott told the committee.
And. in order to do what we can
to help the situation in my district,
if the platform committees recon-
mendations do not include such a
plank we will carry the fight to the
floor of the convention"
No Specific Tax Plans
Although Mrs. Frank Bonner of
Greencastle, director of the wom-
ems clubs for the state committee,
said sentiment of the club women
was dry, this statement was refuted
by Mrs. Alice Drake Jones Of Gary,
First district vice-chairman, who
said that many of the best women
in my district are opposed to pro-
hibition."
Morgan later said he thought the
state platform would adhere to the
proposed national plank.
No plans were offered for a spe-
cific tax plank to be included in the
platform.
Instead of declaring for income,
sales or other forms of taxes. it was
the consensus that this question be
straddled with a declaration favor
ing reduction Of expenditures and
more equitable distribution Of the
tax load"
Nominees to Confer
Governor Harry G. Leslie ex-
planned that he called the legisla-
ture to convene in special session
July 7, because the majority of the
members Of the house and senate
in letters to him, had pledged only
consideration of tax reform and
economy measures.
State representative and state
senate nominees will confer Tues
day at the Claypool to discuss the
platform provisions. Morgan said.
The state committee took no
action on the subject of a perma-
nent chairman, leaving that up to
Morgan.
1t was indicated the two leading
choices are John Norman of Knox
and Eliza o. Rogers. former state
chairman. Tntimations are that
the latter may be named.

Officials of the Pennsylvania
railroad today appealed for
state militia to drive out
more than 1000 bedraggled
but determined "bonus march
ers," who took possession of
the railroads yard here, temp
orarily tying up all traffic.
Three hundred police reserves,
every available policeman in the
city, were ordered to the yards by
Safety Director Merrick early today
after Police Lieutenant Harry Weiss
had been pushed aside by a mob
that stormed the roundhouse.
Governor George White and Ad-
jutant-General Frank D. Hender-
son, at Columbus, had assigned Col.
William L. Marlin, commander of
the One hundred forty-ffth infan-
try, Ohio national guard of Cleve-
land to remain on the scene as an
observer.
Hold Control of Yards
The invaders, most of whom were
from Detroit and Toledo, had pro-
posed to keep control Of the yards
and roundhouse until the railroad
acceded to their demand for freight
transportation, en- route to Wash
ington, D. c., to present their de-
mands for payment of the bonus.
John T. Pace, Detroit, was in
command of the veterans.
The request for national guard
assistance was made after the vet
Grams had demanded free transpor-
tation "or no train will move out of
the yards"
They succeeded in delaying pas

held with railroad officials
Order was restored temporarily
when leaders of the marchers we're
persuaded to make no attempt to
stop trains, and Deputy Police In
spector Stephen Murphy told James
c. Poffenberger, division superin-
tendent of the Pennsylvania rail-
road that he would not order police
to clear the yards unless there was
violence.

The ex-soldiers gathered here Fri
day from Detroit and Toledo, and
were augmented by approximately
400 Clevelanders.
They obtained free rides on ten

Their aim now, they said, is to
obtain a ride to Pittsburgh on the
