Thirty-Six Years of News Hustling Packed With
Thrills for Ex-Amateur Ring Star.
BY ARCH STEINEL
Times gtaff Writer

IT'S long cry from Dewey
u Destroys Fleet at Manila" to
"Dill'nger Dies at Movie Show"
but III the SO years spanning those
cries IS the life Of an Indianap-
oils man who belongs to that al
most extinct group Of corner car
splitters-the news hustlers.
Max Marcus. A, owner Of the
Lyric News and Book Shop, is o,le
Of the last of the breed Of Indian
apolis newsboys who imprinted
the headlines on passersby with
their raucous voices.
And, he still owns the same
stand where he first started sell
ing indianapolis newspapers in
1908.
Mr.. Marcus has cried every ca
tastrophy, trial verdict, marine
disaster and prize-fght result in
the present century and his cast
iron bellows claims for Arrnistice
day, 1918, the record as prize sale
day of city papers at MS stand at
Illinois and Market-stS.
Fifteen hundred copies Of The
Indianapolis Times 1 sold that
day and they were crying for
more" says Mr.. Marcus as he now
smooths edges of the magazines i,
his shop to preve"- dog-ears.
Trials, sea disasters, Col. Lind
berghs flight, even the present
Hauptmann trial, could not equal
that day when a Hoosier world
found out that its boys were
coming home" Mr.. Marcus says.
TODAY'S newsboy is shrink
Il ing violet compared to the
''Foghorn" of Seattle and a few
other "newsieS" whom Max has
bucked against in a battle Of
bassos, he says.
The newsstand ruined them"
he complains. They don't get out
in such weather as have in In
dianapolis-22 below-and tell the
public what's in the paper to
read"
In establishing what he claims
as the city's first newsstand, he
intended to cover his out-of-town
papers and not to pamper him
self.
Max has survived newsboy wars
from Kansas City, Mo-, to the
Coast without a scratch.
1T wasn't my way; I would
avoid trouble" he admits grudg-
insly.
His fighting, he'll admit under
urging, was done in the squared
ring as a preliminary boy and he
always adds vehemently: "Al-
ways an amateur, mind yOu-and
now I don't even go to bout"
Weighing in as bantamweight
he fought at clambakeS, lodge
shows and amateur performances
of the saloon era.

but Rome nevertheless.
And shoulder to shoulder, arm IN
arm, they marched through their
show last night. Stripped of its
glamour, barred to the very soul OF
reality, indianapolis saw a glimpse
of the stuff which makes for success
in last nights Vanities.
They did it. They sang them
selves hoarse, they danced them

show went on.
And so again, Mr.. Carroll, our

plete load of bread on the truck at
that time of the afternoon?"
yes" said his wife, only Sat-
urday we wanted to buy an extra
loaf when they returned here for
Dick to get off, and they only had
one"
where Had They Been?"
Where had they been," re-
sumed the father, eff they sold no
more bread than that during the
day2"
Then, too, I searched the sur
rounding field for foot prints, and
there are none. Where did my boy
go after that shooting happened?
don't think he thumbed a ride.
Where is he and how did he get
away?"
There was that chair in the truck
that Dick sat on. The leg was
broken when we found the truck.
What does that mean? Then there
is this quarrel they are supposed to
have had. Where did that occur
and what was it about? Why did
Dick get back in the truck after it?"
81 don't see how they could have
been angry with each other. After he
finished the chores here Sunday,
Dick helped Hunt put shelves for
the bread in the new truck. Hunt
drove it over here to do the work.
We all knew Hunt. He stayed here
for dinner several times"
The father sighed. The mother
took up the conversation.
He was active in affairs at the
Christian Church just down the
street. He missed Sunday School
for the first time in weeks last Sun
day because his father was i'll and
he had to do the chores around
here.
"T'lI Get the Story
HE didn't go on the bakery
rounds with Hunt Monday because
he had to help me take care of his
father. He never stayed out late
at nights. He read a lot, and I be-
lieve the reason he didn't like to go
to school was because he was SO
much larger than other boys in his
class that he felt embarrassed. He
was so large, you know"
Today Mrs. LieSe, firmly con-
WINGED that, when the world knows
all about those vital few minutes
Immediately before the shooting in
the truck, her son will stand in
better light, stayed in their home
and waited for his return.
Patrolman George Liese turned
with a heavy heart but an alert mind
to that grim assignment that can
happen to no one but an officer
of the law-manhunting for his own
flesh and blood.
The detectives who were there
yesterday to arrest the boy were re-
moved by Chief Morrissey.
An6, while radio calls flashed de-
scriptions of the boy to all states,
Patrolman George Liese went on
the most important assignment of
his 10 years as police officer.

and I'll bring him in"
