M'NUTT GREETS
CRIME EXPERTS
Asks Group to Study Penal
System and Recommend
Needed Reforms.

Governor Paul V. McNutt wants
to know what, if anything, is wrong
with Indiana's penal and correc-
tiOnal institutions and he wants to
know what should be done to cor
rect anything that may be wrong.
He said so today to the commit
tee of experts on penal and correc-
tional administration, summoned to
Indiana by him at the suggestion of
the state committee on govern
mental economy, as the experts met
for the first time in the Statehouse.
Without its two most widely
known members, the committee
held two-hour session, mapped its
procedure and prepared to visit the
states penitentiaries, prisons and
refOrmatOrieS.
The two who can not be here for
the committees study are Warden
Lewis E. Lawes of Sing Sing prison,
and Sanford Bates, federal prisons
bureau director.
Mr.. Bates sent his assistant, Dr.
F. L. Bixby Mr.. Lawes said he
would be glad to aid in any way he
could. Professor John Landesco,
criminology teacher at Chicago uni
yersity, was named a new member
With him in the session were
Burdette Lewis of the American
Public Welfare Association, commit
tee chairman: Glenn Loot, assistant
director of the welfare group; Dr.
BiXby, Ernest N. RoSelle, director
of the Mooseheart IllD children's
home. and Dean A. A. Potter, Pur-
due university engineering school.
Governor McNutt made one
yelled reference to the case of
John Dillinger:
The problem of crime in Indi-
ana is similar to that of other states.
though a few spectacular criminal
cases have given us more than our
share of front page space"

PRICES At TOP
Connections Costing About
Is Cents Are Retailing
for 35 Cents.
BY JAMES DOSS
Times staff Writer

The Indiana liquor control law is
miSnomer as far as any control
on the whisky profteering which is
prevalent in indianapolis more than
any where. else in the state, is con-
cerned.
The retail dispensers of whisky
by the drink are giving the drink
ing public a fearful "gypping" at
any one of half dozen down town
bars, a survey of their prices re-
vealS.
Take that soothing hot weather
connection known as a whisky sour
II will cost you IS to 40 cents a
copy Know what's in it? Approx
mately u cents worth of whisky, 3
cents worth of lemon juice, a pinch
of powdered sugar, and a shot OF
settler.
There may even be less than Il
cents worth of whisky in it. Drink
ers frequently complain that there
is more settler and lemon than
anything else.
A popular whisky blend used in
most of the downtown indianapolis
bars, costs the Blythe drink dis
penSer, no more than $1.89 a pint, at
most. 1t can be bought for less by
the case and an Indiana avenue
drug store retails it at $1.73 a pint.
There are sixteen drinks in pint.
At IS cents a shot, that's a profit of
S2.11 a pint on straight drinking
The profit scars accordingly, with
the addition of lemon juice, sugar
and settler.
Take mint julep. The shades of
thousands of Kentucky colonies
probably raise their hands in holy
horror at the thought of a shot of
bourbon, plenty of cracked ice, a
little sugar and Sprig Of mint,
costing As cents
That's the customary assessment
in the Indianapolis bars.
Evidence that blythe drink prof
iteering is a purely local problem is
contained in a comparison of prices
charged in other Indiana cities.
The scale runs about 10 cents a
drink less on the fancy drinks, al
though IS cents for a shot of whisky
appears to be general. In Lafayette,
Fl. Wayne and Gary, for instance,
one can buy a whisky sour for %
cents that is just as palatable, ap-
parently has just as much whisky in
it and is dispensed in just as gen.
teel surroundings as any of the fan
cier INDIANAPOLIS bars.

The falling of night and the
arrival of soldiers cleared the
last of the strikers and SYM
pathizers who withstood wave
after wave Of tear and maui
seating gas to battle police
hour after hour.
Adiutant- General Seth Howard
warned the public to stay away.
These troops are armed with
firearms and not with clubs" he
said. After one warning has been
issued, the troops will act lmme-
diately"
Get Them First"
Before the hundred fifty
ninth infantry and the Two-hun-
dred -fiftieth coast artillery left their
armory, they received these instruc-
lions from Northumberland
David P. Hardy:
IF it is a question of you or the
rioters, get them first. If you are
attacked, clip them, then bayonet
them, then use bullets"
Remnants of the army of 5000
strikers that fought so bitterly yes
terday were found in alleys and side
streets leading to the water front
and the warehouse district around
Beacon Hill They we're Sullen and
gave no indication they planned TO
give the troops trouble.
I'VE can not stand up to police
guns and national guard bayonets,"
Harry Bridges, left wing" strike
leader, said.
San Francisco residents seemed to
greet the troops joyfully and the
cause of the strikers was compro-
missed further by a refusal of San
Francisco union labor generally to
support them.
Other unions charged the mari
time workers we're led by Com
munists and radicals-men who are
not workers but agitators."
Fighting Lasts All Day
At one time yesterday 10000 riots
ers were fighting along the water
front and as many as five distinct
riots were going on at one time.
The fighting lasted all day, with a,
brief respite at noon when police
and strikers refreshed themselves
with sandwiches and coffee.
Streets in the strife-torn area of
approximately one square mile were
Uttered with broken clubs, bricks,
stones, broken glass. The sicken-
ing odor of tear gas still fingered.
Growing more bloody as the day
progressed, the worst fighting oc-
CURED near a ferry slip which police
we're attempting to clear to protect
commuters during the evening rush
hour.
For one hour police ard 1000
strikers battled with fists, clubs and
finally with riot guns, revolvers,
tear gas and the vicious nauseating
gas only recently introduced in
police work.
Police Kill Two
The two dead both died of police
bullets. At least two had injuries so
critical it was learned they might
Gle. Thirteen rioters we're shot; sew
enteen more we're injured or gassed
so seriously they we're in hospitals.
Some thirty others received treat
ment for decorations caused by po-
lice clubs. Hundreds we're made i'll
by gas.
Fighting in Mission, Steuart,
Spear and neighboring streets DUR
ing the late afternoon resembled
actual war. Police charged the
massed strikers, firing riot guns.
Special gas guns Topped bombs
through the air for a distance Of
$50 feet. The air reeked with fumes.
The battle lasted for more than an
hour.
The battle resulted from the effort
of the industrial association to open
the port. which has been blockaded
since May 9, when the maritime
strike was called.
