Joe walked into Clothe-a- Child
office of The Indianapolis Times
today primed for all emergencies
that might grow out of his request
for clothing for his four children.
A shorty" with a reverse Eng
llsh in his speech, Joe has been in
this country long enough to have a
quartet of all-American boys but he
still doubts that there's really live
Santa Claus who'll help him obtain
clothing for his youngsters.
So Joe took no chances on the
names and ages of his children.
my wife says, You show them
you got children. You show them
how old they are. You ask them to
come see how your children need
shoes and coats So 1 show you,"
and with deft movement accom-
panying his words Joe flung four
legal looking, be-ribboned docu-
ments on the Clothe-a- Child desk.
They were baptismal certificates
for Joe's children.
Joe didn't know that as he talked
memorandum lay on the desk that
said in succinct words of a special
service worker of a Community Fund
relief agency that Joe's children
used -four sacking for underwear
and paper to protect shoe soles from
Indictment weather.
He did not know that his chill
dren's christening in Clothe-a Child
began days before he came to The
Times because a watchful Com
munity Fund, without hope to give
extra presents in Christmas party,
knew Clothe-a Child folk would fill

d KILLED, 80 SAVED
IN OHIO MINE BLAST

Rescuers Work Nine Hours to Reach

STEUBENVILLE, O., Dec. 6. -
Four men were dead today after
an explosion at the Wolf Run mine
north of here.
Thirty-one others, trapped when
the mine caved in, were rescued.
Rescue squads of SO men worked
nine hours through the blasted
properties before they reached the
bodies, one-half mile from the mine

The men were trapped late last
night when the mine caved in after
a mysterious explosion. All except
the four were brought safely to the

Harry Moore, the Governor
said. Mr.. Moore was Governor
at the time of the KIDNAPPING.
Gov. Moore wrote to Mr..
Parker and asked him to
interest himself in the case" Gov.
Hoffman said in reiterating his
denial of calling the famous detec-
tive. He personally is convinced
Hauptmann is not the man-that
they have not the right man. There
is no official investigation on his
part. Mr.. Parker, from the very
start, has been working on things
that he thought would provide some
definite clew"
There are several other independ-
ent Investigations in progress, Gov
Hoffman revealed.
II have been consulted myself on
number of occasions he said.
Urges Members to Visit
The Governor would say nothing
more of his visit to Hauptmann S
cell in the death house at state pris-
on in October.
Gov. Hoffman explained that he
had suggested to the Court of Par
dons "a month ago. that it give
some thought to the case. for IF the
United States Supreme Court takes
no action, the case undoubtedly will
be placed in our lap"
Il thought that because of the I'M
usual nature of the case, they all
ought to sit in on it," he added.
Parker Works on Case
Gov. Hoffman revealed that al
most two months ago he paid a
night visit to Hauptmann, talked
with him more than an hour, and
subsequently urged other members
of the State Court of Pardons to
do likewise.
Disclosure of Parker's activities
gave new significance to several
mysterious trips that have been
taken by Dr. John F.. (Jafsie) Con-
don to the New England coast re-
Gently and reports that bills from
the $4,000 ransom again were ap-
pearing in New England cities.
Gov. Hoffman'S request that men,
bers of the Court of Pardons visit
Hauptmann conjured pictures of a
scene with dramatic possibilities
probably unsurpassed in criminal
annals.
Willing to Visit Cell
Members of the court indicated
that If the Supreme Court makes
them Hauptmann's only resource OF
hope and if he asks to see them they
probably would visit him in a body
There are eight men on the court
including Gov. Hoffman. AS a group
they have the power of clemency
reserved in most states to the Gov
ernor alone.
If Hauptmann convinced five of
the eight that he was innocent they
could free him. If he touched their
sympathies they might commute his
death sentence to Imprisonment.
Gov. Hoffman said Hauptmann
insisted he is innocent. The fact
that the Governor requested other
members of the pardons court to
hear the same statement might in
dictate Hauptmann pleaded well.

Judge Robert C. Baltzell
ordered the trial continued
after District Attorney Val Nolan
admitted that a defense witness
had been questioned but only after
Rice had announced the witness
would not testify further.
Barrett, sitting in mis- wheel chair.
told the jury that he had been
warned the day he killed Federal
Agent Nelson B. Kelin that Omen
were after him, but said he didn't
believe it.
Feared Feud Enemies
Rather, he told the jury, he be-
lieved he was being followed by
Kentucky enemies who sought to
kill him as the aftermath of q
wholesale killing in Manchester, KY,
some time before Aug. Is when the
Oman was slain at West College
Corner, Ind.
AS court opened, Rice charged,
after the jury had been excused,
that a witness had been intimidated.

Roy Roark testified for the defease
he was taken by government agents
to another building and questioned
for hours about his testimony. II

Judge Baltzell asked Nolan if he
knew anything about the matter.

Ian said, the defense indicated in
writing to me that we could excuse
Roark."

Rice interposeG:
Il said he could be excused, but
the government said it might want
him recalled and supposed he was
to be recalled"
That" accused Nolan, lis a de-

Judge Baltzell then asked Rice II
he knew of any other witnesses that
had been inundated. Rice said
NO"
The matter was closed and the
jury was returned.
Sylvester Little, Kentucky COM
monwealth attorney, was recalled to
the stand and, during more testi-
mony about feudist shootings, Rice
asked:
rs it necessary to carry guns in
Kentucky?"
Target in Manchester
Nolan objected and, in sustaining
the objection, Judge Baltzell said:
Kentucky is still in the United
States, you know"
Later Rice asked the commons
wealth attorney. if, in his opinion,
George w. Barrett should now go
to Manchester, he would be killed.
yes, think So" the witness
said.
Lawrence Powell, Berea, KY, the
next witness, said he had CONVEX

 OFFICIAL HERE FROMWASH.,D.c.
pr. w. Carson Ryan, IT,, Director of Research, Is
 Making Study of Needs

Dr. w. Carson Ryan, Jr., Director of Research for the United States Bureau of Indian Affairs, arrived in Juneau on the steamer Yukon this morning to spend week at the Bureau office in Juneau, to take the first steps toward determ- ming how extensive study is necessary in order to best estab- fish coordination in education, so- cial welfare and health work be- tween the Territorial and Federal governments, to obtain the best results.
 Upon his return to Washington, D. O., Dr. Ryan will prepare a statement on the results of his study of the situation and the re- sources and material available for complete survey of conditions and resources with suggestions as to the method of carrying it out and the staff necessary.
 T believe some tyi,e of coordina- tion of the needs and resources of the Federal and Territorial govern ments is both advisable and possi- ble for educational, social welfare and health work among the na- tives in order to prevent duplication and waste. Departments which are interested in studying the matter include the Department of Educa- ton, the Division of Territories and Island Possessions, and Bureau of Indian Affairs" Dr. Ryan said.
 Dr. Ryan first visited Alaska in 1881 when he made trip through the Interior and Westward districts and again in 1892 when he was in the Territory for a short time. He expects to be in Wrangell next Sun- day to deliver the commencement address at the Wrangell Institute and will visit Bureau of Indian Af- fairs schools in Sitka, Ketchikan, Metlakatla and Saxman if possible before returning south.
 T feel that a real advance has been made in the Indian schools in the communities I visited on my way to Juneau since my last trip north I particularly think that the Wrangell Institute is splendid institution" he said.
