BANDITS GET $1,000
AT WESTFIELD BANK
CITY, State Police on Watch
for Gunner.

Two bandits shortly before noon
today robbed the Union State Bank
of Westf1eld of approximately $1,000
and fled toward Indianapolis.
City and state police Immediately
mounted guards on roads leading
into the city.
Three employees of the bank were
at work when the bandits appeared.
Both were of middle age. One was
armed with a shotgun and the other
with a revolver.
The bandit with the shotgun
threatened Roy o. Hadley, cashier;
j. C. Hinshaw, assistant cashier, and
Miss Helen Cloud, bookkeeper, while
his companion scooped all the silver
and currency into his pockets.
The gunner then fled toward In
dianapolis, driving a Plymouth
coupe with a state of Washington
license.

This fact stands out clearly IN
a summary of evidence accumulated
by The indianapolis Times in sup
port of its proposal that the states
penal institutions be placed under
control of a central department OF
correction, Differed under civil

From seven states has come evi-
dence that the "spoils" system OF
managing penal institutions has
yielded results corresponding to
those in Indiana with a shocking
series of prison and jail breaks.
Today, came a climatic, sweeping
indictment Of political management
of such institutions from the lips OF
an international authority on PEN
ology.
DR.. Walter N. Thayer Jr., former
president of the American Prison
Association and now New York state

his forty-two years experience in

between the conditions under the
spoils system and under civil serv-
ice control.

Whose liberty is being disturbed?
1t is only the liberty of a small
group, who by fair means or foul
has been able to acquire property by
exploitation of the mass of the peo-
pie" he said.
Mr.. Ickes likewise asSailed the
charges of administration critics
that the government is moving to-
ward RECOMMENDATION.
The government hasn't regi-
mented any one, but industry has.
Look at your big factories where a
man pulls one lever all day long and
there you will see real regimenta-
ton"
Mr.. Hoover saw the New Deal as
economic RECOMMENDATION" and the
thesis behind that, he said, is "the
very theory that man is but the
pawn of the state" This, he con-
tinued, is "usurpation of the pri-
mary liberties of man by govern
ment. 1t is a vast shift from the
American concept of human rights,
which even the government may
not infringe, to those social phil
oSophieS where men are wholly
subjective to the state. 1t is vast
casualty to liberty if it shall be con-
tinued."

dent mention the present President

digest of emergency powers granted

" criticised congress for granting

THREE ESCAPE
AT STATE FARM
New Guards InexperienCe Is
Blamed for Break at
PutnamViIIe.

Escape of three prisoners from the
Indiana state farm at Putnamville
last night was made possible by the
inexperience of new guard, The
Indianapolis Times learned today in
a telephone conversation with Ralph
Howard, farm superintendent.
The prisoners slugged the guard,
Glen Campbell, when he turned his
back on them to answer a knock at
the dormitory door.
Campbell" said Warden Howard,
did we'll to prevent larger disorder,
for he was the sole guard in a
building which houses $50 prisoners.
Notwithstanding that fact, he soon
had the remaining prisoners under
good control"
Two of the three men who made
good their escape were residents of
Indianapolis and we're sentenced in
Marion county courts. Jess Rhodes
was serving six months sentence
for carrying concealed weapons,
while Harry Holding was serving a
similar term for unlawful possession
of stolen goods. Elmer Playton,
Shelby county, the third who
escaped, was sentenced to one year
Imprisonment for embezzlement.
Campbell was stunned but sus-
tanned no serious injury from the
blows of the three, who are believed
to have fed through the main gate
after departing from the dormitory.
Superintendent Howard indicated
that there was nothing unusual in
assigning a single guard to watch
an entire dornitory containing $50
men.

Scattering reports of violence
came in as the strike reached real
force, but a battle of strike esti-
mate figures between industrialiSts
and labor leaders was the most sig
nif1cant factor in the struggle. The
psychological effect of strike dimen-
sion estimates was admitted by both
sides as the fight began to keep
nonunion millhands at the looms.
Francis j. German, strike leader
predicted that 100000 union work.
ers would have completed their
walkoutS by tomorrow night. BY
Saturday he wants $4,000 of the
100000 active workers out of the
mills. Mr.. German asserted that
more than 10000 union workers
alone ignored factory whistles today.
Cotton textile institute strike eSti-
mates we're of so per cent effective
ness in that sector of the industry.
Silk operators claimed a complete
failure" in that division.
The United Press survey of strike
centerS showed:
New England, $4,000 out.
South, 10000 out.
Scattered, 26,550 out.
An incomplete survey showed
100000 still at the looms.
Mr.. German today, however, put
off until Saturday the possibility
of an IS per cent tieup of the in
dustry. Yesterday he had predicted
the strike would close the industry
80 per cent by tomorrow. Approx
mately 100000 nonunion workers
will be the strike followers sought by
union leaders from now on. Only
half of the 100000 actually working
in the industry are union members.

DEBATED AT HEARING

Budget Session.

Opposition to proposed appropria-
ton of $350.OO0 for the old-age PEN
sion fund proved the storm center
I in Marion county budget hearings at
the courthouse today
Otto DeluSe. pension advocate,
urged appropriation of the full
amount before the county commits
sioners. instead of the $500 which
1t was indicated will be budgeted for
that purpose.
In opposition to Mr.. DeluSe, Vir-
gil Shepard. Chamber of Commerce
research director, stated that no
appropriation at all would be the
wisest possible action on the part
of the commissioners. He based his
argument on the opinion that with
out trained social workers the fund
could not be administered properly.
The budget will not be adopted
today. II will receive a second read
ing tomorrow and probably will be
approved then.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.-Sir
Basil Zarahof, Europe's mystery
man." Spanish duke and Knight of
the Garter, was paid $766,099 from
1919 to 1890 by the Electric Boat
Company of Groton, Conn, it was
disclosed today at the start Of the
senate's munitions investigation.
Zarahoff, described by Henry r.
Carse, Electric Boat president, as
lone of the greatest men I ever
met" received commissions in con-
nection with submbarine conStruc-
ton for the Spanish government.
Other developments of the first
session of the widely-heralded mu-
nitions Investigations in the senate
caucus room included:
l. The Electric Boat Company and
the huge British Vickers- Armstrong
munitions markers split profits and
divided the world into zones where
each was supreme in bidding for
contracts. The Electric company,
submarine builders, had the United
States, Cuba and countries where
the United States exercised control.
Vickers reserved the right to seek
business in Great Britain. Canada,
Ireland and India.
2. The American firm received 40
per cent of Vickers' profits in some
cases and so per cent in others.
3. Salaries and expenses paid to
four executives of the Electric COM
pany amounted to 1926, 494.34 from
1919 to August, 1884.
4. Electric Company submarine
patents were licensed to Vickers and
through the British firm passed to
Japan, Holland and Spain.
5. Company officials denied that
the United States ever was refused
use of the patents but the COM
mittee chairman introduced letter
from the Electric company to one
of its Paris representatives saying,
1--WE have never asSented to the
United States government building
our type of boat" The angle was
not followed Immediately.
6. Various munitions firms paid
royalties to the Electric company
totaling more than 100000.
Stories about Zarahoff, Greek
who built a tremendous fortune
after starting his career as a small
builder of undersea craft, have been
written Economically in all parts of
the world.
The Spanish payment plan was
part of the general agreement be-
tween Electric Boat and the power

panies split profits and divided ter
ritories.
