INDIANAPOLIS, April 28.-Two
cars, believed by police to have been
used by the gunmen who shot and
killed Police Sergt. Richard Rivers in
gun fight here last night, were
found destroyed by fire early today
about is miles west of this city.
State police summoned by farmer
found the flaming ruins of the two
cars. A coal oil can was found near
one Of the machines, and officers said
it was apparent both cars had been
set afire.
Sergt. Rivers was shot when he and
two other officers went to the home
of physician to question three men
who were seeking aid for a wounded
companion.
Officers said one of the cars Is
believed to have been used by the
band that committed the $4,000
robbery of jewelry store at Lima, O.,
yesterday.
The four men. suspected Of a jew
elry store robbery at Lima also were
thought to be the men who escaped
from Carlinville. ILL.,, Jail last week.
Rivers was shot down as he and two
patrolmen started into a doctors
nome to question the men who had
gone there seeking medical aid.
The gunmen opened fire through
screen door. raced to their automo-
bile and backed for more than a block
while keeping up steady exchange
OF shots with the policemen. They
whipped their automobile into a side
street and fled south.
Indianapolis police were notified
early in the evening by DR.. E. E.
Rose that some men had been to his
ONCE with companion who said he
had been shot by the husband of a
woman to whom he had been atten-
tive.
They left but returned about 9
o'clock. While three of them tried
to persuade the doctor to come out
to the car, Mrs. Rose, the doctors
wife, ran to a nearby telephone and
called police. When the officers ar
rived the gun fight started.

ing surtaxes on incomes from $40 900
to 100000 and increasing present
corporation taxes l or 2 per cent.
The administration program would
drop the present corporation tax sys-
tenn and substitute taxes based on
their percentage of net income re-
tanned in surplus. Corporation divi-
dends would become subject to normal
income taxes also.
Senator La Toilette, Progressive, of
Wisconsin. has prepared amendments
similar to Kings. but is planning to
offer them as additions to, rather than
substitutes for, the administration
plan. La Toilette would cut down
personal exemptions, increase the nor
NAL tax rate from 4 to 6 per cent
and raise surtaxes on incomes up
to $50,000.

An argument over an assertion by
Senator Dickinson, Republican, of
Iowa that poor persons each year eat
100000 pounds Of dog food. some
of it unfit for dogs" was spread to-
day on the records of Congress.
Dickinson, making his statement on
the Senate floor yesterday, placed re-
sponsibility on the administration and
assailed what he called the Roosevelt
scarcity" program.
Senator Copeland, Democrat, of
New York said better food inspection
was needed, but he challenged the
statement that the administration was
at fault. He said "niggardly" Con-
gress failed to provide funds enough
for the Food and Drug Administra-

Senator Byrnes, Democrat, offs outh
Carolina replied to Dickinson in a
lighter vein. He said the speech was
the product Of the new Republican
brain trust" adding that "only Prof.
Saxon's outfit would project this issue
into the campaign"

The principal speaker was Robert

the tariff commission, who urged
Endorsement of the reciprocal tariff

with foreign nations by the Roosevelt

said, had the sympa thetic support of

her wrists with fodder twine, looped
another piece of twine around her neck
and showed her into storage closet
on the second floor of the cottage. She
said one of the men was colored.
Clark told police he was walking

night with Monroe Barton, farmer.
Light on Upper Floor.
When they reached a narrow lane
leading up to the vacant house, Clark
said, he noticed light on the upper
floor. He said it went out and reap

one we're lighting matches.
Clark said he and Barton discussed
the lights, but added he attached no
significance to them at the time be-
cause he had seen similar lights In
the old house several times during the
last two or three weeks. -..
Barton and Clark went to their
homes, knowing nothing of the girls

About midnight, however, some
members of the searching party
aroused Clark and asked him If he
had noticed anything unusual during
the night. He then told them about
the lights, but. he said, no member
of the party went near the vacant
house. The girls mother told Sheriff

One of these must bow next week
when the final stanza of the tour
nament is staged at the Armory to
decide the ultimate kings OF 16 divi-
sions. Delbert Hutton, Anderson,
defending open class middleweight
champion, will oppose Johnnie Den
son, Oliver WPA fighter who moved
into that division after winning the
welterweight crown last year.
Hutton moved into the titular
round by deposing an arch rival,
Johnnie ChesunaS, Fort Harrison
scrapper who won the title in 1888
and 1884. The veteran soldier who
