COUNTY STOCK
THIEVES HUNTED
Gang Reported to Have
Raided Farm, Taken
90 Shoats.

Sheriff Ray today conferred with
sheriffs of neighboring counties and
the Indiana State Police to formu-
late plan for the capture of thieves
who are footing farms of livestock.
First intimation of the bands in
vasion of Marion County came yes
terday when M. L. Aston reported
that 80 shoats, valued at between
$12 and SIS each, were slaughtered
in their pens at the farm, R. R. Al,
first house north of The Trees on the
Michigan-rd.
Equipped with a truck, the band
invaded the farm when the family
was away Thursday night, butchered
the pigs, loaded them on the truck
and drove away.
Sheriff Ray was not informed
of the theft until noon yesterday,
but he notified all packing houses
in Indianapolis and neighboring
towns to hold any one Offering but
chered pork for sale under sus-
picious circumstances.
He pointed out that the band has
copied western methods, where
even airplanes have been used by
cattle rustlers. Several western
states have enacted special laws
in an effort to curb wholesale theft
of livestock.
The sheriff and officials of other
counties believe that the band is
nomadic and there is evidence that
it has been working for some time
in southern counties. This is the
first time an invasion has been re-
ported this far north.

HUGE DRAKE FRAUD
Dreams of Riches Fade for
10000 Victims.
By United Press

DU CHtbGN Ef6SS
CHICAGO, Feb. dreams of
fabulous wealth shared by 10000
credulous midwesterners we're shat
tered today by verdict of a Federal
Court Jury convicting eight defend
ants in the notorious Sir Francis
Drake estate swindle.
The myth of the Drake estate,
which promoters claimed would pay
as high as $1,000 on a 81 donation, .
had taken more than 81, 100000 from
farmers and small town residents,
the government charged.
Named as the master-m mind, Oscar
Hartzell, former Iowan who became
''the baron" in London night clubs,
was downcast when the verdict was
announced. He was brought here
for trial from Leavenworth where
he is serving a 10-year term for a
previous Drake estate conviction.
The eight defendants were all who
remained of the original Al placed
on trial nine weeks ago on charges
of using the mails to defraud. The
others we're dismissed as the trial
progressed. Sentence will be passed
Tuesday.
Besides Hartzell, others convicted
were: A. r. Gregory, Wenatchee,
Wash; Garfield Hartzell, New York,
brother of Oscar; Joseph H Hauber,
Chicago; Emil R. Rochell, Madison,
Wis; Lester Ohmart, D. G. Short
and Otto Yant, all of Chicago.

are unreasonable prices submitted
by motorcycle dealers.

about 5000 a unit on the roadsters
and have a trade-in value when
they are no longer useful for traffic
patrol.

on motorcycles, and for that rea-

Meanwhile, Chief Morrissey today
shifted all traffic policemen to un-

pose of relieving the officers of the
"embarrassments' of having to
deny old acquaintance the favor OF
fixing traffic sticker.
1t was move in connection with
the departments announcement
that from now on there will be
no fixing of the stickers, and that
every one who gets one for vio-
lating a traffic law must hereafter
make a cash instead of an evasive

Also in line with the campaign
of safety, a statewide drive was
launched last night at meeting

BY THOMAS L. STOKES

DIES MONIES, Ia, Feb. 1.-The
name of Franklin D. Roosevelt is
still one to conjure with in Iowa.
The grumbling of the business
element which rises elsewhere is not
so noticeable here, for Iowa is pre-
dominantly agricultural and the
heart of the farmer out in the corn

inches of snow-still beats warmly

Mr.. Roosevelt's strength appears
to have been solidified by the Su-

votes should be chalked down in the

Five MidWeStern States
Report DWindIing
Supplies.
IOWA Is HARDEST HIT
Ohio, Illinois, Missouri and
Indiana Also Are
Affected.
By United Press


CHICAGO, Feb. Coal
became a precious mineral in
five Midwestern states today.
Fuel famine or shortage was re-
ported in Iowa, Illinois, Indiana,
Ohio and Missouri. Suffering threat
ened to become acute in heatless
homes built over some of Americas
richest coal veins. Conditions were
worst in Iowa.
An unprecedented cold wave is to
blame. Arctic blasts which rode
down out of the Northland II days
ago plunging temperatures to new
lows since turn of the century
caught coal retailers mapping.
Mines on a 35-hour week were
unable to satisfy the booming de-
mand as fuel dealers clamored to
replenish empty bins. Prolongation
of the subzero ordeal caused an
emergency" in some sections Many
communities were put on coal ra-
tons as dealers attempted to make
the 'black diamonds" go as far as
possible.
A survey indicated the following
conditions in the affected area:
Iowa
Relief needs will be answered by
10000 tons of coal to be mined today
from 500 soft coal pits worked over
time by special union dispensation
| General needs are increasing and
the situation may become acute
early next week.
Dealers fuel supplies are ex-
hausted at Des Moines, Ottumwa
and Bedford. Burlington and
Davenport have a weeks supply.
Many small towns are without fuel
and trucks are being sent direct to
the mines. Scores have become
stalled in snow damned highways.
Missouri
Coal dealers in some communities
are rationing consumers on the
basis of their stoves capacity. Many
families are compelled to burn corn
cobs, bundled paper and old furni-
ture.
Dr. George M. Laughlin, president
of Kirksville College of Osteopathy
and Surgery, threw open hundreds
of acres of woodlot to fuel-leSS
houSeholderS.
Indiana
Coal dealers said their stocks of
moderate priced coal were exhausted
after 10 days of unprecedented SUBJ
zero weather. Expensive grades of
fuel will run out soon unless the
frozen Ohio River breaks up soon,
permitting movement of large ship
ments from West Virginia. Schools
in some sections have been closed.
Illinois
A coal shortage exists in southern
Illinois, State Director of Mines
James McSherry reported. Oper-
ators are behind on shipments due
to extraordinary demand caused by
the record breaking cold snap. The
Chamber of Commerce of Belleville-
in the center of the big soft coal
district serving st. Louis, More
ported decided shortage" The
shortage was more serious due to
strike at the Big Niger Hollow
mine employing 500 men.
Ohio
Concerned by possibility of a seri-
Gus fuel shortage, the Cincinnati
Coal Exchange appealed to John L.
Lewis, president of the U. M. W.,
for a temporary increase in mine
working hours. East Ohio fields
worked at top speed to fill heavy
demand. Ice in the Ohio River is
impeding movement of fuel from
West Virginia.
