TODEATHPLOT

Suspect Charges RingIeader
Gave His Orders From
Budapest.
By United Press

By Chtted Press
PARIS, Oct. 16-Sylvester Malny,
alleged to have been second in COM
mand of five men sent to France to
conduct the Marseille assassina-
tons, was said by police today to
have confessed that Egon Kvater-
nix, supposed to be leader, sent him
here from Budapest, Hungary.
The admission was calculated to
make more bitter the feeling in
Yugoslavia against Hungary, which
YugoSlavia has complained against
for harboring Croatian terrorists.
Malny was captured yesterday as
he walked toward Paris from Fon-
tainebleau forest, thirty miles away,
in which he had hidden himself
since Saturday despite efforts of
1000 police and soldiers to find him.
He was questioned throughout the
night at Melun by General Sim
monevitch, chief of the Yugoslavian
police. He admitted that he was
sent on mission" which was to
be executed either here or at Mar
seille and that he met Vlogak
Georgief, the actual assassin, at
Lausanne, Switzerland. Georgieff
used the name of Petrus Kelemen.
Malny made the following state
ment to police:
During our stay in Paris, Kra-
mer met us daily and said we were
corpses in his hands and must carry
out his orders, working in great
cause.
II broke the oath and left Paris.
After that I knew if I were not ar
rested, was liable to be murdered
by the gang"

Judge John w. Kern, Democratic
nominee for mayor, last night
charged that the Republican or

less promising of hundreds of jobs

Judge Kern spoke at a Tenth

Judge Kern declared that the
Boss Coffin faction of the Repub-
lican party backing the candidacy
of Walter PritChard is reSorting to
an orgy of campaign promises that

ridiculous.
THE opposition in this campaign, d

of gaining some votes in the final

a policy of promising jobs and ia

have learned that hundreds of men
have been promised appointments
to the police and fire departments,
if Mr.. Pritchard is elected. Such
thing, of course, is absurd, as the
next city administration can make
but comparatively small number
of appointments to these two de-
partmentS unless it wishes to treble
the city budget by increasing the
number of men in each department.
With the same reckless aban-
don, the Coffin organization has
been promising other jobs to hun
dreds of persons. The organiza-
ton workers, in making all these
wild promises, have no intention or
even desire to make good on these
promises, knowing that such thing
is impossible.
I'm my campaign, I have made
no promises other than the sincere
pledge to the people of Indianapo-
lis that I will give a clean, decent
and honest administration and I
will be mayor for all the people,

DR.. Cornish has experimental with

Another feature of the case which

SHIP TRAGEDY

Five Officers Criticised by
ProberS: Face Loss
of Licenses.
By Tnifcd Press


NEW YORK, Oct. 16.-The inquiry
board of the United States steam
boat inspection service which con-
Quoted sensa tiOnal hearings into the
tragic fire on the Ward liner Moro
Castle today ordered Acting Cap
tain William F. Warns and four of
his subordinateS to show cause Oct.
20 why their licenses should not be
suspended or permanently revoked.
The five officers of the giant lux
ury liner, which was beached off
ASbury Park after 1874 persons had
drowned or burned to death, were
criticized in the report, a prelimin-
airy one signed only by Captain Karl
G. Nelson and James Smith, in
SpectorS of the New York district.
Although the report did not as
sign a cause or fix responsibility for
the disaster because its powers ex-
tended only to determining whether
the officers had been negligent, it
definitely took the stand that had the
vessel been stopped and the SOS
sent when the fire was first dis
covered, loss of life would not have
been so great.
In this connection the board
severely criticised the conduct of
members of the crew, who, it found,
after lowering themselves into the
sea in lifeboats, failed to heed the
appeals of passengers huddled on
the stern.
There were five specific allega-
tionS leveied against acting cap
