new SHORTAGE
REPORTS PROBED
Private Investigators Seek
Confirmation of RumorS
Involving Others.

While Criminal Court Judge Frank
P. Baker prepared today to summon
a new grand jury to fill out the bal
ance Of the January court term
private investigators sought to run
down reports of additional unprose-
cuted shortages in public accounts
The latest reported smbezzlement
followed closely on the discovery
that Thomas Doyle. former deputy
clerk in Judge Bakers court, had
been discharged in April, 1884, be-
cause of a. shortage in his accounts
No charges ever have been made
against him.
Meanwhile members OF the dis
charged grand jury resumed their
attack on Judge Bakers charges.
They openly declared they had been
discharged to prevent the return Of
indictments in the defunct bank
cases. and asserted they would file
accusing affidavits as private citi-
zens unless all responsible bank Off
Gals are indicted.
In addition to studying the af-
fairs of the State Savings and Trust
Co.. the members of the discharged
grand jury said they went into the
circumstances surrounding the clos
ing Of the City Trust Co. and the
Washington Bank and Trust Co.

Russia Urges Treaty
By Lnitcd Pres.


MOSCOW, March %. - Russia
urged on Great Britain today the
absolute necessity of treaty to
guarantee the peace Of eastern Eu-
rope, and argued that if Germany
and Poland refused to adhere it
would be because they wanted war.
Capt. Anthony Eden, British
cabinet envoy, continued his talks
with Maxim Litvinov, Russia's bril-
liant foreign minister. The privi-
lege Of an appointment to meet Jo-
SET Stain, leader of the Soviet, was
accorded him. Stain, secretary gen.
eral Of the Communist party, not
titular head Of the government,
rarely sees foreign visitors.
There seemed no doubt from the
tenor Of the negotiations that the
visit of Capt. Eden would mean ce-
menting relations between capital
list Britain and Communist Russia
on drmer basis than they have
been since the Bolsheyik revolution.
For the first time since the in
auguration or the Soviet govern
ment King Georges health was Of
flcially toasted on Russian soil last
night.
NJ. Litvinov, Capt. Eden's host at
a dinner, raised his wine glass and
said:
Il drink the health of his majes-
ty, the king"
NJ. Litylnov was as frank as
diplomats can be when ne spoke at
the dinner.
Without mentioning Germany by
name, he limited to Capt Eden that
Germany menaces not only Russia
but England, and he said that never
since the World War had peace
been menaced as it is now.

REPORT OUTLAW
KILLER TRAPPED
Raymond Hamilton Believed
Surrounded by Troops
in Swamp.


HAZELHURST, Miss, March %
The greatest man-hunt in Missls-
sippi's history was under way this
afternoon when sheriff's posses and
National Guardsmen penetrated
swamplands of the wild Pearl River
in search of Raymond Hamilton,
Texas murderer and public enemy
No. l, who was believed trapped
with an outlaw companion and two
kidnap victims.
A Gordon of 200 National Guards
men and police officers patrolled the
area all night, guarding every high
way outlet. Thomas j. Grayson Of
the Mississippi National Guard was
in charge of the search.
He issued orders to shoot to kill
on sight"
Fear was expressed by officers
that Hamilton may have killed the
two hostages he seized early yester-
day during a wild dash across south
ern Mississippi. The bandits
prisoners were M. E, Smith, farm
agent of jefferson Davis County, and
Ralph Balls of Prentiss, Miss.
Three women, believed to be &C
completes of the outlaws, we're seized
early yesterday and are held in jail
at Prentiss.
The outlaws fled into the Pearl
River swamp one mile west OF
Georgetown after terrorizing south
ern Mississippi all afternoon. After
robbing the Bank Of Blountville at
Prentiss of $500, they shot a
woman. kidnapped four men. stole
four automobiles and disarmed one
of dozen posses.

AS for the diplomatic position, it
seems indisputable that the govern
ment feels further discussions along
the lines of the Berlin conference
between Sir John Simon and Adolf
Hitler are impossible. It is felt that
the entire basis of negotiation must
be changed.
The government intends to ask
Great Britain frankly if it is going
to continue its isolationist policy as
regards commitments on the con-
tinent, or is ready to consider adj
herence to a security system along
with France, Russia and other ma
tons
This system, in the French view,
should be inaugurated if necessary
without German participation. But
Germany could adhere later if it de-
sired.

MARKER GOES
|. Up IN CLOUDS,
IT'S OUR FAULT
New Flight Into Emotiona
Shakespeare Launched
by Times Reporter.
BY HAROLD LA POLT
Times STAFF Writer

Counter Commissioner Ernest <
Marker today made a perfect three
point landing near the spot where
yesterday, he took off" for another
ascent in the emotional stratos-
phere.
The landing, however. was not
made until the jolly commissioner
had denounced "whipper-snapper
reporters" and similar plaques.
The ascent began when a report
err asked the commissioner some
questions regarding the contract
which the commissioners have
signed with Charles B. Clark, who
until Jan. |. was county attorney.
It's All Our Fault
The indianapolis Times first dis
closed contents of the contract
which would permit the former
county attorney to receive up tc
33 1-3 per cent of the value OF
property alleged to be due to the
county under an agreement with
the Colored Orphans Home.
The Times had pointed out that
ordinarily the incumbent county
attorney handles the county legal
business without additional pay.
The instruments had not been
Celebrated today, so no one knows
whether yesterdays ascent estab-
liShed a new record. On two other
relatively recent occasions, Commits
sioner Marker has scared aloft when
asked questions.
He's Weary of Questioning
One of these was when the Users
Gas Co., whose parentage still re-
mains q mystery, sought an eXclu-
sive natural gas franchise.
The other was when the commits
sioners appeared to have everything
set to buy an apartment house
which Juvenile Judge John F. Geek
Ter didn't want as a site for a new
county detention home.
Commissioner Marker yesterday
let it be known with some vigor, that
he is becoming weary of answering
questions regarding his conduct Of
the taxpayers business.
He had been asked why Mr.
Clarke had not recovered the money
for the county while he was county
attorney.
Mr.. Marker said the facts we're
not known until after Mr., Clarke
had left office.
Threatened to Quit Before
He started on his fight when a
reporter wanted to know why if the
facts were discovered only in Jan
uary, the contract with Mr.. Clarke
had gone to great lengths to eX-
plain that his services were pre-
ferred over those of County Attor-
ney John Under because Of the
long Investigations Mr.. Clarke had
made.
I'm not going to allow bunch
of 'whippersnapper' reporters to
write such things" Commissioner
Marker declared. If 1 have to put
up with such things I'll quit"
On other occasions the commits
sioner has threatened to quit but
nothing ever has been done about it.
Commissioner Dow w. Vorhies
seemed eager to join in the fray,
but he was "shushed down" by Com
missioner Marker.
The "whipper- snapper" reporter
said something about The Times
publishing the facts whether Com
missioner Marker liked it or not.
BY this time, Commissioner Mar
ker had reached the rarefed at
mosphere, and shouted down that
he would give all news in the future
to a morning newspaper reporter.
