struck them. and the automobile was
carried some 800 yards before the

UnexampIed Crisis Facing
U. S., Says Member
of Cabinet.
By United Press

WASHINGTON, April 26-Secre-
tary of State Cordell Hull today
pictured the world in a state of
panic and the United States con-
fronted with unexampled economic
crisis in plea Tor speedy enactment
of the administrations tariff bar
gaining bill. He appeared before
the senate finance committee.
Congress and the entire govern
ment never faced a graver eco
nomic crisis" Mr.. Hull told the COM
mittee but aroused Republican pro-
test, despite his urgent plea.
Senator David A. Reed, Rep.,
Pa, senior minority committee
member, challenged Mr.. Hull 30
vigorously that Senator Tom Con-
nally. Dem, Tex. complained of
partisan, political heckling."
Senator Reed contended there
was sufficient f1exibility in existing
tariff provisions, but Mr.. Hull re-
fused to concede it. He said the
Coolidge administration made only
fifteen tariff adjustments of the
kind proposed by this administra-
ton.
I'm panic" he said, where 9TH
er nations are making treaties al
most overnight and getting trade to
our detriment, we would be at
great disadvantage if we could make
only fifteen changes in six or eight
years"
Mr. Lull's appearance before the
committee marked his return to the
Senate's precincts and restored him
to the role of pleader for more
liberal tariff policies. 1t was his
work on this score that earned for
him the reputation of the Demo-
cratic party's foremost tariff eX-
pert when he was in congress.
Mr.. Hull argued that only by in
creaSing exports and international
trade could employment be increased
and pledged that, under the powers
of the bill which give the admins
tration the authority to make reci-
procal trade agreements. nothing
will be done blindly, hastily or in
considerably"

Just Federal AGENTS

The big scoop" yesterday of an
Indianapolis newspaper which stat
ed that John Hamilton, Dillinger
lieutenant, was at the municipal
airport, endeavoring to charter an
airplane, turned out to be lust two
other guys" today.
The newspaper said that John
Hamilton, Sniper markSman of the
deadly Dillinger gang, was reported
seen at the Indianapolis municipal
airport early Wednesday"
The identification of the desper-
ado is said to have been made by
A. E. Sutherland, night manager of
the airport. Mr.. Sutherland was
quoted as saying:
Il am positive it was Hamilton.
I've seen his picture time and again
and I recognized the gunman, I
don't know who the short man was"
Chief Mike MorriSsey did not hear
of the visit of the supposed des-
peradoes until late in the day. Cap
tain Matt Leach of the state police,
although he had not been informed
of the purported visit, laughed at
the idea, stating that Hamilton is
conspicuous because he has two fin
gers missing from his right hand
and carries his right arm at an
angle because of a bullet wound.
Last night the suspicious men
returned to the airport and told
Richard A. Arnett, president of the
Central Aeronautical Corporation,
that they were federal men. They
did not discuss their plans, but de-
cided that they would not charter
an airplane at this time.

Bloody Coat Leads to Arrest
of Negroes; Three Are
Still Free.

Two escaped convicts from the
state prison at Michigan City were
captured here by police last night.
The blOOd-Stained coat of Vernie
Dean, Negro, was the clew which
brought about the capture of Will
lard Butler and Charles Irwin, Ne
groes, both serving life terms in
the state prison, who escaped last
Sunday.
Police arrested Dean when he
drove into Indianapolis Sunday
with bloodstains showing on his
coat. He was arrested by patrol
man Jesse Hadley at Fourteenth
and West streets. At police head
quarters, Dean adamantly refused
to talk, but finally gave the police
information which led to the ar
rest of the convictS.
Butler was arrested at 1104 North
Senate avenue with a Negro wom-
an, Celia Todd. Butler refused to
give details of the escape. He said
he feared the consequences of re-
turning to the prison, where he
worked as chef to the warden for
several years.
Butler was convicted of the muir
der of OWE V. Hartwell, a Negro
woman, here ten years ago.
Police early today learned that
Dean had been stabbed by Charles
Irwin, another escaped prisoner, as
Dean drove the convictS from Mich
igan City in their escape. The Ne
groes were accompanied by two
women.
Irwin was arrested at 143l Mills
street with a Negro woman who
gave her name as Mary Lewis. In

knife which Butler told them was
