LARGE FAMILIES
DOMINATE CITY
RELIEF ROLLS
Many Children on Lists,
Research Director
Reveals.

Large families in Indianapolis
form the greatest drain or public
relief funds here, figures from the
recent unemployment relief census
reveal.
More than one-third OF all fam
lilies on the relief rolls are made up
OF five or more members. This is
SHOWN to be a large increase over
census figures for 1880 when only
one-fifth OF the families of that size
in indianapolis were receiving pub
lie relief.
Nonfamily persons in Indianap-
oils made up only 5 per cent of all
relief cases, Corrington Gill, director
of research and statistics. disclosed.
Mr.. Gill stated that this situation is
peculiar and was not to be found
in the figures for the country as a
whole
Many Children on Rolls
An unusually large number of
children are to be found in the re-
lief families. it was pointed out.
approximately eighteen thousand
children are on the relief rolls, rep
resenting over 40 per cent of all
persons receiving relief.
Negro families make up over a
third of all the relief cases. In
1880, only about one-fifth of the
cases were Negroes.
Census bureau officials state that
the hardships of unemployment
have fallen with particular severity
upon the cOlored race.
Majority Between IS and IA
OF the 44,426 persons on the re-
lief rolls, the greatest number lie
between the age groups Of IS to A
years. Five thousand five hundred
sixty-eight persons. or 12.5 per cent
Of the total, are represented in this
class.
Nearly II per cent of the people
receiving relief are over SIS years
of age. A total of 4,855 people are
in this group.
These figures we're based on the
number Of fsmilies and nonfamily
persons who we're receiving relief
from public funds during October,
1888.
This study represents only those
persons and families, who had re-
sided in the United States for at
least one year when the census was
taken.
The study was made by federal
emergency relief administration in
connection with unemployment re-
lief.

Indication that General Hugh S.

William E. Sweet of Colorado yes

Mr.. Sweet stopped in the city be-

dress the Indiana university sum-
mer school.
incorporation of the funda-
mental principles of NRA into the
business situation is hardly in ques-

just how to incorporate them into

question yet to be decided.

serious consideration" he added.

eral can have any place in the gov

haustive cares and obligations such
a position would entail"

Dr. WHfd FTCss
BERLIN, July 1O.-The all-Nazi
reichstag was summoned today to
meet at 8 p. m. Friday to give its
formal blessing to the acts of Adolf
Hitler's government in suppressing
the Roehm revolt.
Ten minutes after announcement
of the summons, German news
papers we're ordered to make no
mention of it. 1t was explained
that the meeting had been sum-
moned as announced, but that the
time might be altered before Fri
day.
The chancellor himself is expected
to address the gathering of the Nazi
legislature, and review the suppress
sion of the storm troop rebellion.
It was certain that whatever the
chancellor had to say would be ap-
proved unanimously, by cheers and,
if desired. by vote. There is no OPP
position representation.

CITY OFFICIALS
No Decision Reached After
Morning Farley; Wilson
View Sought.

No decision on what steps the city
of indianapolis will take toward en-
forcing the state law prohibiting
blythe drink" sales Of liquor was
reached at a conference of city Of
ficials today in the Office of Mayor
Reginald H. Sullivan.
Attending the conference were the
mayor, safety board members, City
Attorney James E. Deery and De-
tective Chief Fred Simon.
After examination of the attorney
generals memorandum holding by
he-drink" sales illegal, and study of
the statutes, the group decided to
confer this afternoon with Prose-
cutor Herbert E. Wilson to deter
mine what evidence is necessary to
sustain arrests in such cases.
Due to the absence of Chief Mike
Morrissey from the city, it was be-
lieved that police action will be
delayed several weeks, provided the
board adopts a strict enforcement
policy today.
Many city cafes and barrooms
continue to defy the by-drink rul-
ing today and the flow of mixed
and straight drinks over the bar
remains unrestricted.
In the event an arrest is made,
the Retail Beverage Dealers As
ISOLATION will fight the case in the
courts, Wilbur A. Royse, general
counsel for the organization, said
last night.
The Indiana law will permit the
sale of liquor by the drink, he de-
clared, and if a case is taken to
the higher courts, he said, such all
opinion would be supported.

The casual observer won't find
much glamor there, but he might
if he had the time, see a good
deal of humor-and pathos, too.
They come here weekly, these ex-
wives, to receive money adjudged
them for the support of their
minor children.
Are they prompt? Very much
so! And the ex-husbands? Well,
they are the ones who have to
pay, and most of them evidently
do not like it, according to Miss
Katharine DeMiller, juvenile sup
port clerk.
Every week we have cases
where the former wife calls three
or four times a day for the money
the man has neglected to bring"
Miss DeMiller explained.
1t is not uncommon for the
estranged mates to see each other
at this, probably their only re-
naming common meeting ground.

changed. But then there are the
more amuSing-and embarrassing
instances where "the other wom-
an" comes to pay the weekly sti-
pend. (Ex-husband is busy else
where.) Miss DeMiller can't &C
tually recall any cases of hair
pulling or similar forms of hyS-
terra, but she recounts that words,
not very polite ones, either, have
been exchanged before the old and
the new loves go their separate
ways.
Policemen and firemen usually
are quite prompt in paying-they
evidently know something of the
law. But the railroad men ="

Eyes, the travelling men are

Miss DeMiller recalled an in

thrice divorced. He had child

port money to each of them
weekly. Evidently this became too
burdensome, since the official

Average weekly payment is 81,
Miss DeMiller said.
Finally, in her opinion, IS per

SIXTY CITY BAKERIES
GO UNDER NRA CODE
Bread Price May Be liked,
Is Report.

The city's more than sixty bakeries
went under the NRA bakery code
yesterday, while bakers awaited
further advice from the national
code authority as to whether or not
the change will result in a rise in
the price of bread.
Some bakers believe that an in
crease in wholesale and retail prices
will result from the reduction Of
labor hours for employees. Others
see no immediate boost in bread
prices.

WARD LEADERS
OF DEMOCRATS
FACE SHAKEUP
BoetCher to Dust Half of
Chairmen in City,
Is Report.
Continued From Page One)

ceeded by Blythe Hendricks, former
newspaper and publicity man. who
has been an active party worker.
Blythe Hendricks is a brother of
Thomas Hendricks, state senate
nominee.
Craftsmanship of the Eleventh
ward is reported likely to go to
Bill Brown as somewhat of a sop
for the latter's unmerciful whip
ping in the primary when Otto
Ray staged a runaway race for the
sheriff nomination
The Eleventh is one of the city's
most important wards as it is the
largest and includes most of the
downtown section 1t is bounded
on the north by Ninth street, on the
west by West street on the east by
Pine street and on the south by
Washington street.
Bill kiSsell Inactive
1t formerly was under the guar
dianship of the two Bills-Bill
Clauer, who was Browns angel"
in the sheriff race, and Bill Kissell.
Illness keeps the latter somewhat
inactive.
The big Fifteenth ward, it is re-
ported, probably will be entrusted
completely to Marty Walpole. a
Home Owners Loan Corporation
employe and a lieutenant of E. Kirk
Mckinney.
Mr. Walpole has had all of the
Fifteenth except the west part,
which was under James McHugh, a
statehouse employee. Mr.. McHugh
probably will continue to run his
part, but under Mr.. Walpole.
Carter Leap Opposed
There are reports that Carter
Leap may be displaced in the
Nineteenth ward, where there is
long petition being circulated in the
interests of Johnny Weinbrecht, city
hall employee.
The Seventh and TWenty-flrst
wards are others where changes are
likely. Carl Wood has been chair
man in the former, but now is
nominee for state representative.
Joe Wallace has been mentioned as
his successor, but his choice is
doubtful. Walter Clark is chairman
in the Twenty first.
There may be some unpleasant
political repercussions to Mr..
reorganization plan, it is
His position as chairman
is regarded none too strong because
a good many Of the ward chairmen
voted for his election unWillingly.
1t may be that he remembers this.
Backed Judge Ryan
The opposition to Mr.. Boetcher
by one faction is said to have dated
to his pre-primary insistence on
Superior Judge Russell Ryan as
mayor candidate when Judge Ryan,
was quite willing to step
aside for his fellow superior judge,
John w. Kern, who was nominated
Indeed, it has been said in some
quarters, that Mr.. Boetcher may
find himself in much the same posi-
ton as did the heroines of Mrs.
Bertha M. Clays dime novels, who
we're brides in name only"
In other words, Mr.. Boetcher may
be chairman in name only with the
real control of the party in the
hands Of Judge Kern and few
trusted lieutenants.
