Coal Shortage Feared;
Mercury 8 Below Here;
No Relief Is Promised
Hundreds of Families in
Iowa Face Intense
Suffering.
BY United Press

A fuel famine extending
across the Midwest from Iowa
to Ohio threatened thousands
of shivering families today as
coal dealers reported their
supplies almost exhausted.
st. Louis dealers were reported
rationing orders and. fearful the
supply of railroad cars available
would not be sufficient to meet the
tonnage needed.
Indiana dealers said expensive
grades would be exhausted within
48 hours and that cheaper grades
were long since gone An almost
unbroken line of trucks ran from
Evansville, Ind, to nearby mines in
Indiana and Kentucky. Buyers were
limited to Is bushels each.
Three hundred homes at Sey-
mour, Ind, reported frozen water
lines.
Iowa's Problem Serious
One Illinois mine was crippled
by strike and strip mines gener-
ally were obstructed by the severe
cold. Operators, however, said
they could meet the demand.
Iowa, first to feel the pinch of
depleted coal supplies, presented the
most serious problem. j. C. Pryor,
relief administrator, said supplies
in nine counties would be exhausted
within three days. Gov. Clyde l..
Herring asked President Roosevelt
to intercede with miners refusing to
work longer hours and meet the
need.
Weather forecasters saw no relief
from the cold wave which today
sent temperatures tumbling TO 10
degrees below zero. It will be just
as cold tonight, they said, with pos
sibly some let-up tomorrow.
Snow f1urries were expected.

dreds of coal miners shouted and
stamped in defiance of ''the money
bags of Wall Street" today as Ed
ward F. McGrady, Assistant Sec
retary of Labor, appeared before the
international convention of United
Mine Workers of America.
In an impassioned address to a
hall filled with burly miners, Mr..
McGrady strode red-faced to the
microphone and demanded:
DO you, as representatives of the
greatest labor union of all, stand
with the President of the United
States?"
Almost before his words were
heard the miners rose from their
chairs and shouted their affirmative
answer. The brass band gave a
fanfare. Delegates jumped up and
down and cheered
AS the demonstration subsidized
Mr.. McGrady shouted:
"Yet that be the answer to the
money bags of Wall Street"
His words set off another wild
demonstration. Delegates whistled
and stamped their feet just as they
did yesterday when their President,
John L. Lewis, hurled defiance in
the face of the American Fedora
ton of Labor for its fight on the
industrial method of unionization
for which U. M. w. A. stands.

TRENTON, N. j., Jan. 31.-The

Gov. Hoffman yesterday ordered
the investigation continued because
he said he doubted that Haupt-

The attorney generals statement
was made after a conference with
Col. H. Norman Schwarzkopf, head
of the New Jersey State Police, who
yesterday received the Governors
letter directing him to continue the
inquiry.
"All the columns of interviews,
statements and published reports
by persons interested in behalf of

all the ,-atements of the Governor
including the letter to Col. Schwarz-
kopf contain no fragment of new

Mr.. Wilentz repeated his convic-

"All the evidence, as has been re-
peatedly stated, that ever has come
to the attention of the prosecuting
officials has pointed to the guilt of
Bruno Richard Hauptmann, and
Hauptmann alone" Mr.. Wilentz
said. That situation has not been
changed by theories, reports or

Mr.. Wilentz asked that it be made
clear that he was speaking for him

5000 CELEBRATE AT
5 BIRTHDAY PARTIES
Local Balls Aid Fight on
PARALYSIS.

Estimates today indicated that
5000 Indianapolis citizens tapped
out rhythmic birthday greeting to
President Roosevelt and provided
ammunition to combat the scourge
OF infantile paralysis at five Indian
apolis balls last night. In addition,
hundreds of others braved the cold
to attend residence parties.
Committee chairmen thumbed
through pile of tickets and count
ed receipts today of the parties held
by various social and fraternal or
ganizations.
Since last nights subzero hla Us
kept at home many that had pur-
chase tickets, the local committee
could not estimate Immediately how
much money was received.
The James Whitcomb Riley Hos
pital for Children will receive 10
per cent of the net proceeds, and
the Warm Springs Foundation the
remainder.
The local celebrations were part
of gigantic national dance against
illness and death-a dance to halt
the ravages of infantile paralysis.
1t was the third time President
Roosevelt had been SO honored on
his birthday.
The local dances were held at the
Indiana Ballroom, the Murat Tenn

the Knights of Columbus Hall and

SCOTTSBORO, Ala, Jan.
31.-Twenty Negro convicts
were incinerated today in a
prison truck which burned
swiftly when gasoline stopped
from a drum on to a fire they
had built to keep warm.
Only two of the % convicts en-
route to a highway project es-
capped the flames, which trapped
them inside the truck, shutting off
their only exit-a rear door.
Two white guards on the exposed
front seat of the truck escaped by
leaping to the ground. They sped
to the rear of the truck, opened the
door, and frantically urged the Ne
groes to leap through the soaring
flames.
Only two did so. They were badly
burned, and were taken to a hos
pital, apparently in dying condition.
The 20 other Negroes were burned
in the fiery interior of the truck.
The gasoline drum from which
the inflammable fluid stopped had
been loaded on to the truck Just
inside the rear door. The fire the
Negroes had kindled was in the
front part of the truck.
Investigation Fe nrdo.od
A stretch of icy road was reached.
The truck skidded, not dangerously,
but just enough to slop the gasoline.
Fire Immediately enveloped the in
terror of the truck, trapping the %
Negroes.
According to E. d. Eyester, resi-
dent highway engineer here, the
Negroes had pulled the plug from
the gasoline drum to get more fuel
TO go on their fire.
Local authorities were ordered bv
Montgomery officials to leave the
truck and its contents untouched
on the roadside
The two guards on the truck were
held lncommunicado pending the
investigation which state officials
were to make upon their arrival.
The two Negroes who escaped
were reported seriously burned" by
Scottsboro hospital authorities.
They were Paul Dawson and John
Stokes.
Authorities said all the bodies in
the truck had been burned so bad
ly that hope of Identification was
impossible.

BAR Will URGE
RULE BY COURT
State Association to Ask
Regulation of Practice
in Indiana.

A committee of the Indiana Bar
Association is to submit a report at
the midwinter meeting tomorrow at
the Claypool calling upon the state
Supreme Court to supervise the
practice of law in Indiana.
Members of the committee on
THE Inherent Power of Courts to
License and Regulate the Practice
of Law are Henry M. Bowling
chairman; Albert L. Rabb, Roy w
Adney and Davis Harrison.
The report is to state that it be-
lieves that the Supreme Court has
ample authority for such regulation
both as to admission to the bar and
as to the disciplining. suspension and
disbarment of members.
Right Believed Inherent
The report also is to state that
the committee believes that this pre-
rogative is inherent and not depend
ent upon any legislative action for
it's existence or exercise.
1t is to be suggested in the re-
port that the bar association file
with the Supreme Court request
that it regulate and control the
practice of law in Indiana by adopt
ing such rules and regulations as
it may deem appropriate.
At present there is no disciplinary
body, other than local bar associa-
tions.
The 1881 act of the Legislature
provided for a body of bar exam
iners so that an examination is re-
quired before any person is per-
mitted to practice law.
Should the Supreme Court assume
its disciplinary role over lawyers
local committees appointed by the
court might be established to act
as the regulatory bodies, according
to the state associations plan.
