night of horror. Japan rallied today

killed at least 1890 persons and be-
gan the tremendous task of reha-
bilitating its great industrial cities
in the Osaka and Kyoto prefecture
Relief workers estimated that
100000 persons needed food and
clothing. Wind and rain. beating
on the rice fields, destroyed 20 per
cent of the staple crop. Power plants
were crippled and many cities we're
without electricity. Thousands of
persons we're thrown out of work by
damage to world-famouS manufac-
turing plants.
In hospitals we're hundreds Of in
iured. many of them school children,
principal suffers in the disaster.
The list of injured reported officially
numbered 1889 persons.
The tidal waves which followed
the winds in from the Pacific across
central and southern Japan. washed
ashore hundreds of small fishing
boats and fifteen large coastal
steamers

RED GIBERSON
MAY TESTIFY
Alleged Gang Member May
Be Called as Witness
in Murder Case.

Ernest (ReO Giberson, alleged
member of the bandit gang accused
of numbering Police Sergeant Lester
Jones during a garage robbery, may
be a states witness Monday in the
first degree murder trial of Edward
(Foggy) Dean.
With the first degree murder trial
recess over the weekend, Floyd
Mattice, chief deputy prosecutor,
declined to comment on the posi-
bility that Giberson will be brought
from Marion county Jail, where he
is held awaiting trial, to testify.
Delay in arraigning Giberson,
court attaches said, indicated the
state is holding him as witness to
connect Dean with the murder in
the Peoples Motor Coach Company
garage in February, 1888.
Giberson was connected with
Dean in testimony drawn from a
reluctant witness yesterday.
According to Miss Alberta j.
Akers, Negro maid at the Dean
home near Traders Point, Giberson
and four other men were at the
Dean home two or three days before
the murder. According to the wit
ness. Dean also was there.
The testimony of the 10-year-old
maid was the most damaging evil
dence produced during the day.
None of the eight witnesses called
yesterday by the state definitely
connected Dean with the murder.
Martin H. Wills, Negro, 1916 Co.
lumbia avenue, tire repairman at
the motor coach company garage
who saw the bandit gang enter the
garage and witnessed the sub
machine gun murder of Sergeant
Jones from the door of his tire room
said he could not identify the bandit
who stood with machine gun
across his hips and fired burst of
bullets as Sergeant Jones stepped
in the garage doors.
Dean stared at the witness as Mr.
Mattice asked:
do you see in the court room the
man you saw with the submachine
gum"
The dapper defendant relaxed in
his chair as the witness said he did
not.
The trial will be resumed at 9:3O
Monday morning.

Election Board Rules Gary
Republicans Name
Off Ballots.

Republican leaders planned today
to carry to the courts the refusal of
the state election board to place the
name of Joseph B. Kyle, Gary, on
state ballots as Republican candi-
date for Lieutenant-G Governor.
BY a two to one vote, the board
ruled against the Republican the
ory that the office of Lieutenant
Governor has been vacated by M.
Clifford Townsend when he ac-
cepted state administrative posi-
ton.
Governor Paul v. McNutt and w.
w. Spencer, Democratic members
of the election commission, voted
against placing Mr.. Kyle's name on
the ballots. Fred G. Cause, Repub-
lican member, voted to accept him
as a candidate.
Application of Don B. Irwin, Re-
publican state chairman, for hear
ing was rejected on the ground the
court is the proper place to decide
the controversy,
Scion j. Carter, Republican legal
committee chairman, said he would
confer today on arrangements to
take the case into court.

trance TO the cell DOCK.
Guard Slagle opened Pierpont S
cell and stepped inside with his
meal. Pierpont complained of feel
ing i'll and asked if he could have
some salts.
When Slagle was inside the cell,
Pierpont struck him on the head
with his fist. Slagle attempted to
back away and Plerpont demanded
the key to the cells.
I'm not going to give them to
you" Slagle told him. Pierpont
then struck him again and pushed
an imitation gun fashioned out of
soap into his ribs.
He took the keys to the cells from
Slagle and ran first to the cell Of
Russell Clark and freed him. Clark
was convicted Of f1rst-degree MUIR
der for the same crime which Max
ley and Pierpont were sentenced to
die, but the jury recommended
mercy and he is serving a life sem
tence. He was placed in death row
for safe keeping.
Meanwhile, Makley in his cell was
threatening guard Pharr with an
other soap gun, pointing it through
the bars of his cell.
PierDOnt next opened Makley'S
cell and then unlocked the ether
cells in death row, freeing all but
one condemned prisoner.
The convicts then used the two
guards as a shield and pushed them
toward the entrance to L block.
Near the entrance there was a
wooden table. They broke up this
table and used it in an attempt to
break down the door and the screen
ing that led to the outer corridor.
In the meantime, Guard Jones
had turned in an emergency alarm
which called an emergency squad of
eight men, armed with shotgunS and
submachine guns, to the block.
These men came from the guard
room, which is just inside the front
entrance to the penitentiary.
The emergency squad fired into
the group. Makley was shot in the
right lung and Pierpont was shot in
the spine. 1t is wonder that
Guard Pharr was not shot because
he was in the middle of the group.
Guard MILESTONE, a member of
the emergency squad, was shot after
he had entered the cell block with
the other members of the squad. A
bullet richocheted off the walls and
struck him in the hand.

SABOTAGE IN
MILL STRIKE
HERE CHARGED
Plant Officials Quiz Man
Found in Plant With
Sacks of Emery.

With a mass meeting of United
Textile Workers Of America strikers
and of delegates from all labor
unions in the city scheduled for
this afternoon. the U. T. w. A.
strike against the Indianapolis
Bleaching Company was marked to-
day by charges by company officials
of attempted sabotage.
Charles A. Young. plant manager,
said that his guards had captured
a man in the mill with two sacks of
emery, which, he said, would have
ruined the plant turbines if dumped
into them. The man has not been
arrested, but an investigation is be-
ing pushed, Mr.. Young told The
Times.
The manager quoted the intruder,
an employe of the mill, as saying
he had received the emery and in
structions to dump it in the tur-
bines from a man on the picket
line and had taken the emery in
the belief that he might thus pre-
vent such dumping by others.
Charles P. Drake, business agent
of U. T. w. A., local No. 2069, said
the story was preposterous and
pointed out that he had warned the
strikers repeatedly against violent
tactics.

Amount Is Minimum Needed
for Community Fund,
Says Chairman.

The fifteenth annual indianapolis
Community Fund campaign will
open oct. IS. with a goal Of s727217.
Arthur V. Brown, general drive
chairman. announced today.
The amount stipulated is the alb
Solute minimum necessary for the
needs Of the community during the
coming year" Mr. Brown said The
figure was set by the fund board
following the findings of the budget
committee and the campaign eXecu-
tive committe, he declared.
This years goal IS approximately
$4,000 more than was raised by
the fund a year ago
Certain agencies among the thir-
ty-six member organizations of the
fund have been drasucally skeleton
lied and reduced in budgets and
activities during the last three
years." Mr.. Brown said. 1T is in
creasingly imperative that these
necessary services be brought toward
a normal level he declared.
Opinion that the general public
will respond whole -heartedly to the
mobilization for human needs was
expressed by members of the cam
paign committee.
Attention was called to the fact
that for fourteen years the Com
munity Fund has been the heart Of
the city" through which thousands
of public spirited citizens have ex-
pressed their desire to help, in a
systematic and sympathetic way,
those who are in need.
Because of the proper under
standing and generosity of the far
sighted citizens Of this city, the
fund has been able to stand as a
bulwark of defense against destruc-
tive social forces" Mr.. Brown said.
