Coroner, Police at Odds
Over Mysterious Death
Cops Say Accident lr
Train Case, but Wilson
Cites Queer Aspects.

Despite assertions of police that
the death Of mussel digger, appar-
emily under the wheels Of a speed
ing Monon train. early Sunday, was
a clear-cut case of accidental death,
DR.. z. r. Wilson. deputy coroner
contende6 today that the case had
some odd aspects
Members of the train crew as
serted that the mangled body Of
Charles Salmon, 81, Shoals, Ind,
was cold a few minutes after the &C
cident occurred, and point to bruises
on the head to intimate that Sal
mon might have been murdered and
the body placed on the Monon
tracks, south of the White river
bridge at Broad Ripple.
Victim Had Been Drinking
The train left Boulevard station
at $50 a. n. and ran over Salmon
at 1:55. reported John Olsen, 3140
Mcpherson street, the engineer; r.
J. Adams. 1880 Guilford avenue, the
fireman. and Edward Smith, 2121
North New Jersey street, the con-
ductor.
The body of Salmon was identi-
field by Leo Young, II, of Dubois,
Ind, also a mussel digger, who said
Salmon had been drinking and was
drunk when he left a Broad Ripple
eating place at 11:30 p. m.
Salmon is survived by the widow
and five children, three sons, Wal
ter, Cecil, and Charles, and two
married daughters.
Police, after an investigation,
scoffed at the idea of murder and
contended the body would be cold
after being as badly mangled as
it was. Theys believe that Salmon,
intoxicated. fell on the tracks.
Cold Too Quick
DR.. Wilson, however, asserted that
the trainmen were reliable per-
sons" and that their opinion was
to be considered. He said he could
not understand how the body could
get cold in so short time, consider
ing the circumstances, and the con-
dition of the weather.
las far as I could tell, the man
had been dead two or three hours"
he said.
Wilson was to hold an inquest to-
day and was expected to return a
verdict early this afternoon.

Plot to Hike Oil Prices
Laid to Big Companies
City Dealer Makes Plea to
ICkeS in Behalf of
Independents.

AS the President, with Harold
L. Ickes, secretary of the interior,
and national NRA chiefs met today
in Washington to attempt stabiliza-
ton of the oil industry, charges Of
price fixing were made in Indian
apolis.
In a letter today to Ickes, Samuel
Trotcky, president of the Indianap
Motor Service Corporation, 112l
North Meridian street, charged that
thirteen of the fifteen men appoint
ed on the Presidents NRA oil COM
mittee represent the major COM
panies and that small independent
dealers have no representation.
This committee" said Trotcky, v
met a few days ago and was afraid
to set the retail price so it passed
the buck to Ickes. But IckeS re-
fused to fall for their scheme and
instead, issued an order regulating
the amount of crude oil to be pro-
duced.
The big companies did not ex-
pect to be treated like that, so they
again brought up the subject of
price control which comes up in
Washington today.
The major companies want
everybody dealing in gas to sell at
the same price, with the result that
the public will buy the major ad-
vertised brands and the independ-
ent dealers will pass out of the pic
ture. With the independents out,
there is nothing to prevent the big
companies from pushing l41 the
price.
THE independents have forced
the big companies to lower prices
at all times.
IF this monopoly is not stopped,
the motoring public will be paying
25 and 30 cents a gallon for gas
next year. That is the goal of the
major companies"

Joan Blondell and Wallace Ford
are the leading figures in Central
Park, thrilling story of a west
ern youth stranded in New York
when a rodeo show with which he
is appearing is stranded in the
metropolis. and is presented for
tonight only at United Artists
theatre.
Making the acquaintance of a
small town girl who is also try
ing TO get a foothold in the city,
the two become fast friends and
through circumstances are forced
into the activities of a group OF
gangsterS.
Their experience brings them in
10 the clutches Of the law and they
are facing prison when their luck
changes and instead of prison they
are freed.
Their taste of New York life
has proved too exciting for them,
however, and the great open spaces
of the western ranch which the
youth had left appear much more
inviting.
As indicated Irom the name,
much of the action takes place in
Central Park, New York'S unique
playground in the heart of the
city.
