Detective Fails to Recover
From Bullets Fired in
Apartment Fight.

Detective Orville Quinnette died
at 9 today in City Hospital, the
victim of bullet wounds received
Dec. in a gun fight with Paul
Pierce and Donald Joseph, escaped
convicts, in an apartment at 1901
Park-av.
The officer fought against death
since an emergency operation was
performed at the hospital immedi-
ately after the shooting but physi-
clans lost their battle against peri
tonitis which set in last week.
Forty-eight minutes after the
officers death, Pierce and Joseph
were held without bond for grand
jury action on murder charges.
Bond of $4,000 each had been set
on auto banditry charges.
Arraigned before Municipal Judge
Charles j. Karabell, both the &C
cused promptly waived examination
on completion of reading the MUIR
der afhdavits.
Pierces cold blue-gray eyes were
raised from the floor only a few
times, and his face bore a sheer
throughout the brief appearance in
court. Joseph gazed out of the win
dows and his expression was grim.
First-degree murder indictments
were returned today by the Marion
County grand jury and shortly aft
erward Pierce and Joseph were ar
raigned and entered not guilty
pleas before Criminal Judge Frank
P. Baker. Trial was set for Jan. 6.
Pierce told the court he fired the

RANSOM READY

Kin, Hoping for Return of
Actor Today, Fails to
Contact Gang.

BY UntteG PfeSS
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 18.-Re1a-
tives of Caleb j. Milne Nv have
$4,000 ready to pay kidnapers for
his freedom, but are unable to ar
range contact, it was reported to-
day.
Four days after the 24-year- old
heir to textile fortune disappeared
from New York rooming house no
word had come from him directly
and one of two ransom notes re-
ported received at the palatial home
of his grandfather was stained with
blood.
Friends and relatives of the
youth here, in New York City and
in Woodstock, N. Y, said they had
no trace of him beyond that offered
by notes purporting to be from
kidnapers. But activity in Phila-
delphia and the suburban German
town home. of his father and grand
father and the home of an aunt in
Woodstock indicated they hoped for
his return any moment.
An authoritative source said Caleb
Milne Jr, wealthy retired grand
father of the missing man, drew
$4,000 from a bank yesterday in
small bills. Twice he and other
members of the family made mys-
ferrous sorties from his Germantown
mansion, taking care to elude trail
ing automobiles before reaching
their destinations.

SpencerUilIe Boy Talks
Again, Hopes to Walk

DR.. B. 0. Shook, who at first be-
lieved Robert would be mute for
ever, has told neighbors he will i'm
prove. He is, the doctor said, grow
ing a new speech center.
But what mixes Christmas UP
most is Saturday. Then Robert is
to be carried back to the Fort
Wayne hospital and doctors who
have worked with him since the &C
cident are to remove the cast from
his body.
When the cast is off, Robert and
they will know whether he is ever to
walk again. A lot depends on what
they learn Saturday whether
Roberts Christmas will be a time of
real joy.
His left arm still is paralyzed, but
physicians say that probably can
be corrected with scientific exer-
cises when the cast is off, if an
X-ray shows that the multiple
fractures of the legs are healed
properly.
AS for the ordinary trinkets Santa
Claus bestows on 4-year-old boys.
Robert has plenty. Ever since it
was written in the papers about his
regaining consciousness, friends and
strangers have showered the Shock
ley home with toys suitable for him.
He won't need any more Of those.

TO give UP IN
TODD MYSTERY
Admit They Are Dissatisfied
With Results So Far
in Investigation.
CHAUFFEUR Is QUIZZED
Actors Wife Insists Ghost
CALI From Actress Was
Authentic.

By Uhtted Press
HOLLYWOOD. Cal, Dec. 18.-
Police responsible for explaining the
strange death of Thelma Todd ad-
mitted today that they were dis
satisfied with results of their in
veStigation.
They worked in a maze of con-
flicting evidence that would do
credit to a Hollywood mystery
scenario.
Coroner Frank Nance called an
inquest to review all the known
facts relating to Miss Todd's
death and last hours. She was
found slumped in her automobile in
a garage near her beach cafe on
Monday.
The order was issued when a
partial autopsy by County Surgeon
A. F.. Wagner revealed that Miss
Todd was not intoxicated at the time
of her death; that heart disease was
not the cause, that her blood showed
a 10 to 80 per cent saturation of
carbon monoxide gas.
Stlll prominent in the police in
vestigation was a ghost telephone
call" which Mrs. Wallace Ford.
actors wife, said she received from
Miss Todd at 4:10 Sunday after
noon, SOME II hours after police
said the blond actress must have
been dead.
In the face of police hints that
the telephone call might have been
made on an extension line by some
prankster among the All guests at
Mrs. Ford's cocktail party, the &C
tors wife reiterated her belief the
call was from Thelma.
Despite all evidence which police
say points to Thelma's death early
Sunday, I know talked to her on
the telephone at 4:10 that after
noon," Mrs. Ford said. cat first I
thought the party said 'Velma,' and
l asked 'Velma who?' She replied.

ARMS PROBERS
CALL MORGAN
Nye Committee to Question
Banker in World War
Financing.

~ CUtCU IJCSS
WASHINGTON, Dec. 18.-J. P.
Morgan and other New York bank
ers will be called before the Senate
Munitions Committee at a hearing
on World War financing beginning
Jan. 7, it was announced today.
The announcement, made by
Stephen RauShenbusch, chief COM
mittee investigator was the first
definite revelation of plans for con-
tlnuing the Senate inquiry into the
American munitions industry.
1t followed a communication from
the committees chairman, Senator
Gerald P. Nye Or, N. D. who had
just returned from Manila and the
Orient.
Mr. Nye will return to the capital
on Dec. "a to confer with other
members of the committee on his
plans to push the munitions investi-
cation to the front during the open
ing weeks of the new Congress.
Legislation to take the place of the
present neutrality resolution already
is being drafted by committee ex-
pertS. 1t contains restrictions
against use of American loans and
credit to belligerents.
In questioning of Mr.. Morgan and
other bankers, committee members
hope to demonstrate the relation of
loans and credit to the breakdown
OF American neutrality in 1917 and
to draw a parallel between that sit
uation and the present period of
European unrest.
The exact date for Mr.. Morgan's
appearance will depend upon devel-
opments at the inquiry.

Relief Policy Changed
BIZ United Press

WASHINGTON, Dec. 18.-The
New Deals 1861 work-relief pro-
gram took partial form today with
indications of shift in employment
policy from quick, cheap projects to
heavy construction.
The apparent change was revealed
by President Roosevelt. He said he
would ask Congress for public
works appropriation of about $780,
100000
Mr.. Roosevelt prepared the way
for the probable reversal of employ
ment strategy. He was revealed as
signing an executive order months
ago allowing work-relief administra-
tors TO count indirect labor created
by government expenditures as well
as work on project sites.
The President signed the order
Aug. % at the urging of Rexford
Guy Tugwell to make possible grade
crossing elimination work under the
current $4,000 600, 900 program.
The White House action, kept
complete secret, came at the height
of the controversy between Harry
L. Hopkins and Harold L. Ickes.
Such action would follow recon-
mendations of the National Re-
sources Committee urging a per-
manent public works program as a
depression curative. The projects,
the board said, should be held in re-
serve for release to meet unemploy-
ment needs.

Already Robert, who was para

days ago from injuries inflicted by
an auto in front of his home, has a
definite indication he will receive
one OF the most magic of all gifts
the power of speech.
1t was said by physicians as he
came out of the coma 81 days after
the accident that he never would
speak again. And for long weeks he
could not utter a sound. But he
smiled and he had will to live in
that plaster cast that surrounded his
body. waist high.
Two weeks ago the vocal chords
responded to what must have been
a mighty effort for one so young and
so badly hurt, and he said a word.
Il is not surprising that the first
word was Nom" because Mrs. F.
Herschel Shockley scarcely has been
away from him a minute since the
accident.
Now Robert can say several words,
and make them into sentences.

Hearing Dec. 80.

The State Milk Control Board is
to hear evidence Dec. 80 on a dis
tributors' petition which may mean
a retail price of IL cents a quart
for milk sold in Indianapolis.
The petition filed today was
signed by "a distributors from Mar

leging they represent 30 per cent
of the distributors in the area and
distribute 70 per cent of the milk
Although no proposed price was
mentioned, several distributors said
they would ask for an lucent re-
tail price. The distributors said
Winfield Hunt, Indianapolis Milk
Council executive secretary, was
empowered to represent them.
The board was asked to declare
an emergency and to fix schedule
of prices. The petition charged that
some distributors have caused a
chaotic competitive system by en-
ploying the use of secret discounts,
rebates. abnormal butter fat con-
tents and "other unethical prac-
tees"
