the sheriff's Office is said to have re-
torted.
Police Captain Otto Petit on
night duty said that the sheriff's
Office did not notify him Of any
trouble at the roadhouse.
Not until patrolman Charles Eel
yon and o. B. McLane, patrolling
in the vicinity of West washington
street and Tibbs avenue, encoun-

mystery begin to lift.
He was striding along Washing

the encounter, with his long hair,
wild-like, and swinging a great big
hammer He was half naked, with
his coat torn off and only one leg
Of his trousers still there. His face
was covered with blood.
Me and McLane tried to stop
him, but he swung that hammer
like he meant business and began
to run. We finally caught him at
Warman avenue and West Wash
ington street after a scrap which
took all the strength of the two of
us to win. He's wild 'un, all
right"
At police headquarters, the man
with the hammer readily admitted
that he had wrecked the Green
Lantern. He said his name was
Charles Adams Taylor, so, 1875 West
Market street.
Il owned the place until that

job"
He was held by police, charged

uncertainty whether Comptroller

question was one of adherence to
the Presidents executive order and
not of compliance with the MIRA

plying with the code, but he has not
signed it, johnson said.

No Joke
False Call Sends Fire
men to Valley Mills.

TRATE city f1remen revealed to-
L day that they answered the
fourth false alarm of fire in a
month to Valley Mills, four miles
southwest of the city limits.
Previous to the call for fire ap-
paratus, Saturday, firemen said
that they had been called out
three times this month on false
alarms in the same locality. The
calls came through the Gamewel
Office at city hall, where all emer-
gency fire calls from outside 10
calitieS are cleared.
The telephone operator at city
hall said the call Saturday was
from a child. Firemen said that
the city response to alarms out
side the city limits merely is a
courtesy. Answering such alarms
is costly. they asserted.

Damage estimated at $4,000 had
been done, apparently with sledge
hammers which lay among the
debris.
An electrical mechanical orches-
ira, said to have cost more than
$1,000, was smashed to bits. The
new beer bar and all its costly
equipment, most vehemently object
ed to by the hammer wielder, &C
cording to the police, was demol-
ished utterly.
Deputies Refuse Pleas
Also smashed to bits were num-
Der of candy, chewing gum and
cigaret machines. All the windows
in the place were shattered. Fur
niture was battered beyond recognl-
ton and barrels Of beer, smashed to
a pulp, allowed the brew to flow
in a golden stream among the
wreckage.
1t was shortly after a. m. today
when the telephone in the sheriff's
office at police headquarters began
to ring insistently. A half dozen peo-
pie living in the vicinity of the
Green Lantern called, demanding
protection.
81 tell you he's shooting up the
Green Lantern" cried Harry Miller
3540 West Washington street, di-
rectly across the street from the
roadhouSe, to the sheriff's office.
Send some men out here quick
There may be murder, tool"
Half a dozen similar S o S calls,
from neighbors, followed Mr.. Mil
lers frantic plea.
Police Not Notified
But the deputy sheriffs sat in
their office unmoved They are al
legged to have informed all callers
that they had no road patrol-that
it was impossible to send men out
on any call which was not a serious
accident or a murder"

MOTHER SAVES
4 CHILDREN IN
BLAZING HOME
AWakens to Find Bedroom
Filled With Smoke;
House Destroyed.
YOUNG MEN ARE HEROES
Unidentified Pair Risk Lives
in Removing Fur
niture.

When Lawrence E. Applegate left
his home early Sunday morning, on
his daily milk delivery route, he
left his wife and four children
sleeping
A few hours later, he returned to
find the house burned to the
ground.
Mrs. Apologize and the children,
Freda Jean, who will be l year old
tomorrow; Wilma Lee, a. Vernon, 6,
and Lawrence Jr., 9, were at the
home of neighbor, where they had
been taken, clad only in their night
clothing. They had rushed from
the burning house when Mrs. APP
plegate awakened to find the bed
room in flames,
L stood in the road and held the
baby, hoping some one would come
to get some of our clothing and fur
niture out of the house" she said
today. Two boys came along the
road, and offered help"
The young men were able to re-
move a few pieces of furniture from
the living room, and some coats,
according to Mrs. Apologize. The
smoke was so dense that they were
forced to crawl on their hands and
knees to get to the clothing. Neither
Mrs. Apologize nor firemen from
pumper company 10, who answered
the alarm, sent in by one of the
young men, knew their identity.
Estimated loss in the fire was
$1,000. No water was available,
and fire was kept from spreading
to other buildings by the use of
chemicals.
The home of Al InSley, 1902 South
Emerson avenue, also burned to the
ground Sunday night, with loss Of
$500. The family was not at home

Judge Cox also drew the
admission from Mr.. Meyer
that Indianapolis investments
of the bank had proved
profitable, while other invest
ments in Florida and Gary,
Ind, practically we're lost en-
tirely.
Other revelations at the hearing
included introduction Of a letter
showing that the participation OF
Never Kiser OFFICIALS in the Puritan
Investment Company and been con-
cealed: that dividends on bank
stock were declared in 1880, despite
$4,000 operating loss and
that Mr.. Meyer from 1924
to May 4, 1888, drew a salary OF
1892 ,224.02 from the bank.
It also was shown, from an audit,
that approximately $28O,000 in city,
county and state public funds had
been deposited in the bank, and
that more than ST. 900 has not been
recovered on surety bonds protect
ing the funds.
$4,000 Lost by County
Of the uncovered amount, S46,-
900 was lost by Marion county and
$24,629 by the state of Indiana. No
record exists of the banks col
lateral which was pledged with the
insurance companies issuing the
bonds
1t was indicated this morning,
that the hearing would be ended for
an indifinite period at the close of
the afternoon session.
Mr.. Garvin said that Judge Cox
had pointed out the press of other
court matters and suggested the
hearing be continued to a later
date.
Advised by Auditor
Opening his questioning from
the bench, Judge Cox asked Mr..
Meyer:
Isn't it true that in your report
to the federal government, you
showed that the Meyer Kiser bank
owned all of its other companies
which conducted the insurance, bond
and real estate departments"
1--WE considered our report as
consolidated report. Our auditor
advised that method" Mr.. Meyer
replied.
Then, why did you make your
report to the local government just
the opposite?'
Cashier Made Statement
1--WE didn't. Our cashier made
up the statement"
The truth is, you didn't want to
pay taxes, isn't it? Marion county
has been cheated out of $500 a
year on the banks contingent fund
alone. Isn't that true?" asked the
judge.
Il don't know" Mr.. Meyer re-
piled.
You'll believe it is true, if l
tell you so, won't you?" Judge Cox
asked.
Yes" replied the witness.

reserves were carried as private
deposits, which are exempt from
charges against the bank.
Mr. Meyer testified that for
flfteen-year period, the bank oper-
ated at loss, but was able to con-
tinue operation because of con-
tributions" from funds of bank Of
f1cialS and the Meyer and Kiser
partnership.
Reading from the auditors re-
port, Attorney Myers read into the
record an agreement between the
Meyer and Kiser families regarding
a stock reapportionment to release
1880 shares for public sale, in
August, 1880.
Figured 1t Good Buy"
To charge by the attorney
that dividends had been paid out of
capital. despite a 500 900 loss. to in
duce the public to buy the stock
issue, Mr.. Meyer said:
I wouldn't say that. We figured
it was a good buy"
AT four times the earlier value
OF the stock?" the attorney asked.
Yes, we figured the accumulated
good will was worth that"
After the attorney had read the
letter authorizing the concealment
of the true officers of the Puritan
Investment Corporation, he asked:
Wasn't that done so the public
wouldn't know you were interested
in the corporations"
Il don't remember" Mr.. Meyer
replied.
"Oh, that was just trifing
S1,000,000 deal. so you don't remem-
Der it, was the comment.

been filed, kindly have the minutes
show the resignation of Irwin Clos
son and Anastatia Shuetz and the
election Of the officers as they we're
before"
Questioned on Investments
Judge Cox also took a hand in
the questioning which brought out
the success of indianapolis invest
ments. He opened his questioning.
Mr.. Meyer, weren't you fought
by the other bank officials on your
Florida investments? They didn't
want you to make them, did they?"
Mr.. Meyer said they disagreed"
with him, and cited that numerous
local business men we're making
Florida investments at the same
time
Did you invest much money in
Indianapolis?
Mr.. Meyer recited a long list Of
investments here, including we'll
known office buildings such as the
Illinois, Roosevelt and Guaranty
buildings.
They All Paid Out
Did you make any money on
these Investments"
"Oh, yes, they all paid out" Mr..
Meyer replied, proudly
Immediately Judge Cox bounced
on Mr.. Meyer with
But all those investments in
Florida didn't pay out, did they?"
Too late, the witness realized
where the questioning had been
leading Noticeably abashed, he
admitted substantial losses in Flor
ida.
Mr.. Meyer, if you had your life
to live over as banker, wouldn't
you keep a little more of your
money in your home city?" the court
asked.
The witness admitted he would,
saying III admit I was in error"

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.-InHa-
ton sentiment appears to have the
upper hand in congress in the light
Of a poll by the United Press. In
dications are that unless admins
tratiOn measures produce marked
results by January, congress will
return in a mood to take the bit in
its teeth.
In a poll of the house, So per
cent Of the replies favor initiation.
Twenty-one per cent are opposed
to it. The remaining tWenty-one
per cent are either neutral or are
not prepared to take a position.
Among those taking a definite
position, inflationists outnumbered
those opposed by more than 81 to
1. These figures, gathered from
members covering every state, show
a complete cross section.
They confirm the belief of the
chief infiationist, Senator Elmer
Thomas Dem. Okla), that con-
gress will return in a mood to take
matters out of the hands of the
administration and make action
mandatory unless present price
raising policies produce a clear cut
result.
Monetary Conference Friday
Senator Thomas and Senator
Smith Dem, S. c. have invited
Senators Pittman, Wheeler. Borah,
Harrison and Fletcher to meet with
directors of the committee of the ma
ton and farm leaders at a none
tary conference here Friday.
There need be no fear of print
ing press initiation if soundly backed
currency, adequate for our needs,
is provided" the call for the con-
ference said. The proper place of
silver in a broadened metallic base
for the currency will be considered,
it was announced.
Senators Thomas and Smith said
the Presidents gold policy was
making progress" but that it must
be carried further until gold is
saba, double the statutory price.
The President surveyed the re-
suits of his gold operations at a
long conference with his ranking
financial advisers yesterday. All de-
clined 90 reveal what conclusions
were reached.
May Be Polls Issue
Many in Washington believe that
the money issue is shaping up into
rank as the big question to be
fought out this winter and in the
congressional elections next year.
Replies received in the United
Press poll have increasingly shown
strength on the initiation side
Whereas earlier replies from infla-
tiOnists we're in most cases qualified
and hedged, later returns bore
straight out yes" This appeared
to indicate a growing desire for in
ence upon the form used. Earlier
replies showed a greater DISPOSE
ton to let Mr.. Roosevelt decide
what should be done.
Silver advocates comprised about
20 per cent Of the inflationist group
A fractional number preferred dis
tribution of paper money by paying
the soldier bonus. Some of these
suggested bonus payments only as
an alternative to other forms such
as purchase of silver or use of
treasury notes to pay for public
works
