Labor leaders added that these
sums did not represent the amount
of money expended by the unions
in indianapolis for rent, pay roll
and other incidental expenses.
They pointed out that the unions
borrow little from the banks so
that these deposits represent ex-
tremely liquid assets available as
credit to build up and finance local
industries.
The leaders expressed themselves
as entirely satisfied with the serv-
ice which they were receiving from
the bankers of the city, which, they
said, probably holds the largest pool
of labor capital in the United States.

Real Silk Hosiery mills and the
other plants were protesting to OBJ

government under NRA to bargain
collectively, through representatives

STATE PROBES
LOAN SHARKS
Automobile Mortgage Firms
Face New Inquiry;
USury Charged.
BY DANIEL NJ. KIDNEY
Times staff Writer.

A statewide drive to expose loan
sharks, particularly in the automo-
bile mortgage field, was launched
today by the state department of
financial institutions.
Attention of the department. has
been called to the fact that dealers
in automobile mortgages are en-
tirely without the law and many
are alleged to be charging highly
unsuriouS interest rates.
Decision to make the survey was
announced by Herman B. Wills, di-
rector of banks and the division of
research and statistics.
Sufficient data is expected to be
accumulated to provide the next SEES
sion of the state legislature with in
formation upon which to base a new
law bringing automobile and other
now unregulated loans within the
jurisdiction of the department and
thus halt the excessive rates said to
be charged, Mr. Wells explained.
Claim so Per Cent Charged
Some reports we're that these ex-
ceeded so per cent or more in cer-
tain cases.
Under the last petty loan law the
rate is 81 per cent up to $3.50 and
212 per cent over that amount on
loans of $500 or less. The law also
set up a special department to in
vestigate rates and assume jurisdic-
ton over the small loan business.
This is in charge of Homer o.
Stone, who has enlisted the licensed
dealers in the drive against those
beyond the law. Mr.. Stone sent all
registered petty lenders a question
naire asking them to give the names
of automobile and lenders in their
community which now are operat-
ing without state license; pawn
brokers, mortgage buyers and indi-
vidual lenders.
Banks Asked to Help
Similar missionaries went to
building and loan associations from
E. G. Bucher, building and loan
supervisor, and to all state banks
from Mr.. Wells.
These legitimate institutions are
anxious to stamp out the unlicensed
and usurious lender" Mr.. Wells de-
clared. They realize that it de-
tracts from their business, hurts the
borrower and benefits no one but
the person making the loan at I'M
lawful rates"

Dean Bailey announced that he
will remain at the university until

that students in his classes may

Dismissal of DR.. Athearn last Oc-
tobel, which, it is alleged, precipi-
tated the present dismissals, caused

charged that the university was

After a refusal of the board Of

against the school for 100000 dam
ages, alleging that his reputation
had been impaired and that he now
is unable to obtain employment in

Elm street, following the fatal stab
bing of his son, Noah Arbuckle, 10.
and serious injury to his wife, Mrs.
Verna Arbuckle, 40, early today at

The stabbing occurred about lao
a m. today following a dance which
had been held at the hall. The af-
fray is said to have resulted from
quarrel between Mr.. and Mrs. Ar

several knife wounds, staggered into
police headquarters. only a short
distance from the hall, and said he

he 0ied eight hours later.
A few minutes after the son ap-
peared at police headquarters, off,

a man and woman had been
stabbed at Germania hall.
Investigating, they learned Ar
buckle had stabbed his wife in the
side, injuring her seriously, during
the quarrel, and that he then ran
down the steps, pursued by two
sons, Noah and Clyde, who caught
him and took him back up the steps.
Breaking away, Arbuckle drew
the knife from pocket and
stabbed the son, Noah. He did not
attempt to flee this time, and await
ed arrival of officers.
In municipal court today, where
he was held to the grand jury,
without bond, Arbuckle admitted to
Judge Dewey Myers that he stabbed
his wife and son, but said he
couldn't remember how it happened.
Police testified that Arbuckle told
them he took a pint of liquor with
him when he, Mrs Arbuckle and
four children went to the@dance. Six
other children remained at home.
Arbuckle said he Was employed at
the G.. and J. Rubber Company
plant.
Police said the dance ended at
midnight, and number Of the
patrons left, but that a few re-
manned and three of the Arbuckle
children played several selections for
those remaining after the dance.
The Stabbing occurred as the family
was leaving the hall.
