Thus the issue was joined in the

If the jury of twelve men, picked

On the other hand, if the jury

Chicago Police on Guard

81 Htcd PTeSS
CHICAGO, March 6.-An army Of
plainclothes men in bullet proof
vests massed in Chicago's north side
today and patrolled the vicinity of
loop banks in a search for John
Dillinger, desperate Indiana outlaw.
Information that the escaped con-
vict planned to rob the Builders
bank led to a concentration of
forces there.
Warning that Dillinger, whose es-
cape Saturday from the Crown Point
1nd) jail started one of the largest
man hunts in history, planned to
rob the large Builders bank today
came to police during the night.
William Blaul. deputy chief of de-
tectives, said the source Of infor-
nation was considered authentic. If
accurate, the tip would indicate that
police had gained at least a slen-
der clew to the desperados where
abouts.
The hunt for Dillinger conferred
in Chicago late yesterday after po-
lice found the automobile of Sheriff
Lillian Holley of Crown Point, in
which Dillinger fed.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1934-03-06

Chief Mike Morrissev could
not be reached to confirm the
threat, but stories were cir
culated under cover that po-
lice might be asked to guard
certain locations, following
threats that Dillinger was
coming here to get the money.
According to information obtained
by The Times, Dillinger gave some
of the loot from recent bank robber-
les to a local friend. While the
desperate was held at the Crown
Point jail, lie sent for the man al
legged to hold the money. The local
man, according to the reports, never
attempted to get in touch. with Dill
llnger, believing that the gangster
was certain to be executed,
Since his escape, Dillinger is re-
ported to have been in touch with
Indianapolis underworld characters,
telling them that he was coming
to indianapolis ito get his money
and the guy that is holding it,"
The Times learned that the
threatened person will seek twenty
four-hour police protection while
D1llinger is at large.

MIAMI, Fla, March 6.-Mrs,
Franklin D. Roosevelt arrived here
at 7 a. m. today by train to take
off for Puerto Rico and the Virgin
islands to learn for herself about
these Caribbean islands of the
United States.
Mrs. Roosevelt's plane roared

Because Mrs. Roosevelt wanted to
see the citadel built by Henri
Christophe, the slave who became
a king after being the first presi-

American Anyways changed the
course of the ship, and will fly
above this "veritable marvel" built
$500 feet above sea level. The
black king killed himself with a
golden bullet in 1920.
Mrs. Roosevelt also expressed the
hope that she might see the
Haitian fort Smedley Butler took.
which caused such controversy sew
eral years ago.
The party will spend tonight in
Port-Au-Prince, capital of Haiti.
Just as she has gone from coast

life in the United States, Mrs.
Roosevelt wants to get first hand
information about Puerto Rico and

HOoSierS Are Blamed

Blame for the escape of John
Dillinger, public enemy No. /, ban
dit and alleged murderer from
Crown Point jail, was placed square,
ly on the shoulders of Indiana au-
thorities today by Chicago police
seeking the desperate in the gang
Ster haunts of that city.
Captain John Siege and his de-
tectives declared that Dillinger was
able 10 enter Chicago Saturday be-
cause the wrong license plate num-

ties.

While no explanation of this glar-
ing mistake could be obtained from
Indiana authorities early today,
newspaper men here recalled that
they had been given a false descrip-
ton Of the car in which Dillinger
escaped, by Jail attaches at Crown
Point Saturday.

jail shortly after the escape was told
by Jail attache that Dillinger had

learned, had followed the sheriff S

Facts proving this paradoXical
setup were made part of the record
of the commission hearing in receiv-
ing a report on the intercorporate
relations of the group of utilities
controlled by the Utilities Power and
Light Corporation of Chicago.
The report rounded out that part
of the record of its siX-year inveS-
tigation into profits. control and
practices of utilities concerns, con-
Quoted pursuant to a senate resolu-
ton.
AS of December 81. 1881, the inter
corporate relations report made by
w. b. Horne, commission examiner,
revealed six of the twelve officers
and two of the eleven directors of
the indianapolis company lived IN
Chicago. The nine non-Chicago
residents on the board of directors,
the report disclosed, served only by
sufferance of the Chicago clique
and Harley L. Clarke, president of
the utilities power and light corpo-
ration.
Mr.. Clarke. himself, through the
medium of three personal holding
companieS-Public Utilities Securi-
ties Corporation, Webster Securities
Corporation, and Utilities Gas Com
pany, controlled 679002 shares. or
56.7 per cent of the outstanding
stock Of the Utilities Power and
Light Corporation. which in turn
held 100 per cent-eXcept for a
fraction Of per cent allotted as
directors qualifying shares-of the
voting stock of the indianapolis
Power and Light Company.
Thus, through an ingenius pyra-
miding of stockholdings, is Mr..
Clarke enabled to exercise absolute
absentee control over the manage
ment of the Indianapolis Power and
Light Company without owning
half of the actual investment.
Appertaining to the part time-job

tors of the indianapolis utility. evil

1t was the reward system that

After his capture in Dayton, O.,
on information supplied Ohio au-

the Indiana state police, Dillinger
was taken to Lima, o., instead of
eXtradited to Indiana, because Of
