NEW YORK, February 10.-A
erack-up in aviation shares and a rally
from substantial early declines else
where featured busy market for
stocks today.
The immediate response to proposed
Federal regulation and cancellation of
the Government airmail contracts
was a heavy wave of selling which
broke prices to around points, but
the tide ebbed midway through the
session and left comparatively few
prominent casualties. these being
largely in the aviation and inactive
speciality sections. The average net
change, in fact, was a loss of only
three-tentl1s point.
Wall Streets second thoughts on
the question of a regulatory law
seemed to reflect an attitude of greater
calm. though brokerage opinion was
still rather confused. Several houses
pointed out that the act had not yet
been passed and that it might be mod
flied during its course through Con-
gress, view which some Washington
advices tended to support. Also. the
proposed effective date, October /,
would seem to provide sufficient time

this issue extended its loss to points

KOKE is NAMED
RELIEF LEADER
Prominent City Man Named
Director of State Emerg-
enCy Council.

Controversy over the selection OF
an Indiana director for the new
national emergency council today
was at an end with the selection
of Fred Hoke, indianapolis business
man, for the post.
AS director, Mr.. Hoke will CO.
ordinate work of all recovery
agencies in the state, including
civil works, agricultural adjustment,
NRA, public works and others, and
he will have the power to name di-
rectors for each county.
Original nominee of Senator
Frederick Van Mugs for the post
was Richard A. Werneke, Terre
Haute political leader, whose name
was rejected as all political leaders
we're barred from such posts.
Learning that President Roose-
velt's advisers were considering the
name of William Fortune, Indian
apolis philanthropist, Republican,
for the job, the senator objected on
the grounds that Mr.. Fortune was
mot in sympathy with the new deal
program"
Instead he suggested Mr.. Hoke or
Evans Woollen, Indianapolis banker.
Mr.. Hoke is chairman of the
Governors unemployment relief
commission, and chairman of the
Indiana CWA. He served on Pres
ident Herbert Hoover's relief COM
mission, attended Hoover's charity
conference in 1882, and has repre-
sented Governor McNutt in Wash
ington at conferences called by the
President.
He is president of HOlcomb
& Hoke Manufacturing Company
He has been active many years in
civic and charitable affairs, and in
1928 was a member Of the commit
tee of five to select mayor when
John L. Duvall resigned.
Mr.. Hoke has been Indianapolis
Community Fund president six
times, and headed several Liberty
Loan and the Victory Loan drives.

Cops Army
Seeks Trail
of Dillinger
Notorious Bandit Killer Is
Hunted in Bank Raid,
Killing of Cop.


EAST CHICAGO, Ind, Jan. 16.-
Two small armies of manhunters
today worked in two states to pick
up the trail of John Dillinger,
killer and escaped convict, and two
companions who shot a policeman
to death here while escaping from
a bank holdup.
The desperadoes burst through
a Gordon of East Chicago police in
front of the First National bank
yesterday, escaping with S20,376
loot. Policeman William P.
O'Malley blocked their path and
was cut down with a submachint
gun.
The other policemen who had re-
sponded to burglar alarm set off
inside the bank were forced to hold
their fire as the bandits emerged
from the bank, holding Walter
Spencer, a bank official, as a shield.
One bandit, believed to be John
Hamilton, apparently was wounded
by bullet fired by officer O'Mal-
ley. Policemen poured a heavy fire
at the bandits automobile after Mr..
Spencer was released. Bullet proof
glass and vests were believed to
have made the fusillade ineffective.
AS news of the bandits raid
spread, a special picked detail of
fifty Chicago policemen was mobi-
lized again to seek Dillinger. Mean
while, Captain Matt Leach of the
Indiana state police ordered details
from various stations to join in the
hunt for the trio.

denunciation of vicious and abhor-
rent political practices : in Louisi-
ana was conveyed to the senate to-
day by its special committee which
investigated 1882 campaign ex-
penditureS by Senator Huey P.
Longs state Democratic organiza-
ton.
The committee reported that it
felt itself bound 'candidly and
frankly to reveal to the senate the
deplorable and distressing political
conditions existing in Louisiana"
Political organizations in the
state, it said play the political
game according to the standard that
the result is the important thing
and the means of obtaining it are
secondary conditions.
1T appears that Senator Long
and his lieutenantS completely con-
trolled the affairs and policies Of
that organization" said the COM
mittee. 1T further appears that
this organization dominates and
controls not only the Governor of
Louisiana and his policies, but also
directs and controls all. or prac-
tically all. of the state departments
and their employees.
The committee was instructed TO
inquire into the 1882 primary cam
paign in which Senator Overton,
Long candidate, defeated former
Senator Broussard. Broussard
filed no contest, but charged his
defeat was brought about by frau-
dulent election tactics.

MOTHER FIGHTS
COURT ORDER
Indianapolis Woman Facing
Prospect of Losing Gus
tody of Child.

An Indianapolis mother today
faced the prospect of losing custody
of one of her two children as result
of court order, according to dis
patches from Milwaukee.
The mother, Mrs. Clara Rupert,
was divorced from her husband, Au-
gust, last June in Marion superior
court one. They formerly lived at
869 North Grant avenue.
Several weeks ago Mrs. Rupert
went to Milwaukee, taking with her
her two sons, and 5.
She was followed to Milwaukee
by Mr.. Rupert, who had been given
permission by Superior Judge John
w. Kern to see the children at rea-
Sonable intervals.
Then Mr.. Rupert returned to IN
dianapolis, about three weeks ago,
ard told Judge Kern that the former
wife refused to see him or permit
him to see the children, and the
court gave an amended order per-
hitting the father to have custody
Of the oldest child during the school
year.
Armed with this order, Mr.. Rup-
pert returned to Milwaukee and OBJ
tanned a writ of habeas corpus, for
possession of the child.
He denied to the Milwaukee Judge
that the present Mrs. Rupert,
caused his divorce, but admitted
that he married her four days after
the divorce decree was issued last
June
The Milwaukee judge gave Mrs.
Ruppert two weeks to present her
case at indianapolis in an effort to
have the amended decree set aside.

Indiana Break Fooled

MICHIGAN CITY, Ind, Jan. 49,.
Albert Such, East Chicago, a guard
at the state prison, was questioned
by officials today after two convicts
nearly escaped by climbing the wall
near his watch tower.
The attempted escape was wit
messed by Warden Louis E. Kunkel,
Deputy Warden L. E. Schmuhl and
Chief Clerk Howard c. Crosby.
They were comforting in the
warden's office when two unidentified
convicts laid two ten-foot plankS,
which had been spliced together,
against wall near the administra-
ton building.
AS one of the convicts began to
ascend the wall, Schmuhl tel
ephoned Such in the watch tower
and asked him to investigate. Ring
ing of the bell frightened the con-
vict and he scampered.
The two convicts removed the
planks and carried them away. Then
they lost themselves in a group of
prisoners working nearby.
1t was believed the convicts were
identified later, but prison officials
refused to reveal their names.
Wardn Kunkel said he blamed
Such for not stopping the convicts
at the point of gun.
1t is believed that the two
prisoners intended to scale the wall,
slug Such, seize his guns and keys
and make their way to freedom
down a winding stair in the tower
which connects with door open
ing on the outside of the wall

refused to cooperate in building
sewage disposal plants and hating
industrial waste in streams, the
health department issued orders de-
handing that they do so.
In the case of both FIT. Wayne

been appealed by the city to the cir
cult courts.
Today's report discloses the fol-
lowing status of the twenty-six

Nine have plans completed and

works administration for loans to

Enid Hennessey on Stand;
Accused Doctor Is
Refreshed.

BIZ Unitcd Press
CRIMINAL COURT BUILDING,
CHICAGO, Jan. 16-Enid Hennes-
sey, veteran high school teacher, to-
day revealed how the city'S
strangeSt murder struck suddenly
into her workaday life in the home
of her longtime friend, DR.. Alice
Lindsay Wynekoop.
Testifying as state witness in
DR.. Wynekoop's trial on charges of
numbering her daughter inlaw,
Rheta, Miss Hennessey's sympathies
obviously we're with her old friend,
who sat silent CARRIED in black, a
few feet away.
DR.. Wynekoop, whose critical
physical condition has caused much
apprehension, was refreshed when
she appeared in Judge Joseph B.
DavidS courtroom. She had enjoyed
good sleep during the night and
was prepared to watch the state
build up their theory of cold
blooded murder against her.
Describes Finding of Body
Her nerves were steeled for what
ever revelations might come. Her
attorneys, Frank Tyrrell and w. w.
Smith, explained to her the manner
in which Assistant States Attorney
Charles S. Dougherty likely would
build up his theory of murder to OBJ
tain insurance money and she said
whatever testimony would be given
would provide little shock.
Miss HenneSsey told of her first
sight of Rheta's body on an OPP
Grating table in the basement of the
Wynekoop home.
Over objection of defense counsel,
photographs of the operating room
were introduced in evidence.
Miss Hennessey identified the
photographs, but complained that a
number of minor details of the
room had been changed, specifically
that drawer from which DR..
Wynekoop claimed morphine had
been stolen was open on the MUIR
der night, but had been closed by
police.
No Quarrels, She Says
II never heard a quarrel be-
tween Rheta and DR.. Wynekoop,"
Miss Hennessey said on cross
examination. "Rheta was treated
very well in the home"
In minute detail Miss Hennessey
described her actions and those of
Dr. Wynekoop on the murder night
Not once did she reveal any detail
which would dispel the mystery of
Rheta's death.
Miss Hennessey's testimony was
given in a fiat Unconditional voice.
She told the story of the murder
night as she might have described
an interesting exhibit to her
zoology class.
Mrs. Vera Duncan, next door
neighbor of the Wynekoop's and
last person outside of the Wynekoop
home to see the girl alive, was the
next witness.
