jury, investigation OF John Dillin
gers escape from the Lake count,
Jail was undertaken today.
Personnel Of the jury was com.
pleted late yesterday when Mrs
Louise Young, wife of a Crown Poin
bank employe, was qualified as the
sixth juror.
In his charge to the grand jury
Judge William j. Murray of Grim
inal court demanded thorough in
vestlgation Of the sensational
escape.
1T has been inferred that graft
or coIIuslon, or both, were response
bic for the break" Judge Murray
said.
Permits Full Inquiry
1T has been said that politics
might have something to do with it.
1t has been inferred that neglect
and coWardice were responsible and
l now charge you members of the
grand jury that it is your duty to
make fuIl and careful investigation
OF all facts obtainable and in addi-
ton to any indictment, if any is
found, to report to this court your
finding concerning the entire affair.
L also charge you that owing to
the fact that one of the officers of
this court, who is an appointee of
myself and has been named in con-
nectlon with said Jail break and not
withstanding that you are a grand
jury Of this court, I urge you to
make the most vigorous inquiry of
that particular phase of the in
vestigation.
AS judge of this court, having
refused to make an order for trans
Ter Of prisoner Dillinger from the
Lake county Jail to the Michigan
City prison on petition of the sher-
if and the insistence of the pros
ecutor, having been criticised for
refusing said request, I therefore
request you to make an examination
OF said Jail and report to me wheth-
er or not in your opinion said Jail
is a proper place to harbor hard
ened criminals under proper guard.
Broad Powers Outlined
"If you find that it is not, sug-
geSt that you include in your re-
port recommendations for such adj
ditions or remodeling as you may
find necessary. 1 also charge that
it is your duty, if you can from
this investigation, to name the party
or parties responsible for said jail
break, whether they are criminally
liable or not, and, if you can from
your investigation, suggest ways and
means of preventing a similar oc-
Among the chief witnesses are
Matt Brown, a guard, and James
Posey negro cell mate of Herbert
Youngblood, who escaped with Dill
linger.
Two men are under arrest on
charges of aiding the escape. They
are Sam Cahoon, a turnkey, and
Ernest Bunk, a deputy sheriff en-
ployed by Judge Murrays court as
expert in the Jail.

Finally, the restoration program
will fit in to the nations demand to
reduce farming land surplus.
There is no advantage to any one,
especially to the man behind the
pillow, to produce crops on land that
will not pay the producer a surplus.
If it takes all the man can produce
to pay the cost of production and
the overhead of drainage taxes the
public obtains no benefit from that
production.
1t took years to learn this and the
conversion of the Kankakee back to
the purpose for which it was created
| is an answer to a part of the ques-
ton at least.
The whole plan fits in with the
nations demand to limit production,
to create new forests and swamps,
to prevent floods, to provide more
space for outdoor persons in which
the increased number of leisure
hours may be spent BEAUTIFULLY and
to bring back wild life that is nearly

vas with Wolfe at Quebec. He re-
signed his commission and became q

Entering political life after the
war, st. Clair became president Of

held that position when the ordin-
ance Of 1877, creating the northwest
territory, was adopted.

Despite his brilliant service in
both military and civil life, st. Clair
died in poverty in 1918.

PLACE LIMIT
UPON Pilots
ANNUAL HOURS

WASHINGTON, Sept. 27 U.P)-
One thousand hours per year has
been set by the commerce depart
ment as the maximum to be flown
by first pilots on scheduled air
transport routes.
Following Q conference wit h
representative of scheduled air
line operators. air line pilots and
the Aero Medical association, Eu-
gene L. Vidal, director of air COM
merce, announced regulations gov
erning the length of time first
pilots may fly on transport routes.
Under the regulations, pilots
may fly 100 hours per month, but
not for more than four consecu-
tive months. The average was set
at 83 hours per month. Old regu-
lations permitted 10 hours.
Flyers also will be given a medi-
cal examination every three months
to determine their fitness. In the
past they were examined every six
months.
Vidal said the reduction in max
imum flying hours per month IS
significant, since there is an en-
tirely opposite trend in various
European countries to increase fly
ing hours of first pilots on sched-
uled air lines.
He added, however, that the
change in maximum hours was
made in the interest of public safe
ty and not because of labor and
personnel problems.
