PROBES METEOR
CRASH IN STATE
|. U. Educator Finds What
He Expected, Mud Hole
Near Linton.

Times Special
BLOOMINGTON, April 2.-Scien-
lists are curious people, indeed!
Prof. c. A. Malott, Indiana Uni
versity geologist, and two graduate
students, who acted like they were
going to third alarm fire in their
trip to Linton yesterday to see a
meteor crater, admitted today that
they didn't expect to see anything
but a muddy hole in the ground.
According to Prof. Malott, me-
teor travels about 40 miles a second,
and when it strikes the earth the
friction is so great it usually ex-
plodes. Usually. too, the friction
of the atmosphere causes them to
consume themselves before they
even reach the earth's surface.
'The meteor couldn't have been
very big" he said. 1.-THE hole was
four feet deep and six feet wide.
The explosion threw dirt in a 300
yard radius and could be heard for
Is miles.
"Meteors are not uncommon, but
1t is nard to IND one that stays IN
one piece. 1t is a scientific victory
when you do" he added. This one
probably was of a super-heated
stony substance. That's the COM
mon type"
If this meteor had started on it's
celestial journey split second Ia
ter, the residents of Linton might be
putting in new window glass today,
Prof. Malott explained.
IF it had landed on a house, it
would have destroyed it and prob
ably killed people," he said. "It was
not large enough, however, to cause
any widespread damage in the town,
outside of breaking windows
The Shooting star" landed on the
Fred Streitlmeier farm near Linton,
and just half mile from the center
of population of the United States.
M. M. Fidlar and G.. F. Fix were
the graduated students who made
the scientific dash with Prof.
Malott.

and walked out the front door of
the house.
One amazing version asserted
that Wendell kept the child in the
attic of his home for a month
without any one in the house being
aware of its presence. At the end
of the month, the repudiated con-
fession reads, the BABY fell from
its bed and was killed. Wendell
says that the confessions were writ
ten after he was beaten, and threat
ened with a gun.
Many Rumors Heard
Hauptmann, whose head had been
shaved for the scheduled execution
Tuesday, waited hopefully in his
cell in the death house while the
jury deliberated. He was showing
renewed courage after his break
down on Tuesday. He had been
moved back to cell No. 9 and his
books and writing materials-taken
away to guard against possible
suicide attempt on Tuesday-were
returned to him.
G. Lloyd Fisher, his attorney,
visited him yesterday and then left
for Pennington. Many rumors fl
tered through Trenton as the grand
jury met. One concerned Stephen
Spitz, who was bailed out of Chi
cago Jail yesterday with $1,000 and
who was reported flying to Trenton
to tell Gov. Hoffman that he was
offered $4,000 of the Lindbergh ran
som money by unidentified gang
Sters.
Another rumor, denied in all Off
cial sources, was that the Depart
ment of Justice was investigating
the Wendell case.

ployes, such as participation in our
Mutual Aid Association, sick ano
death benefits, free hospital service
with graduate nurse in attendance
and physician on call.
Delivery employees who are out
on strike shall have the right to ap-
point a committee of three of their
own number to represent such en-
ployes in all negotiations with the
firm.
I'VE can not and will not compel
any of or employees to join any
organization.
We consider a closed shop as de-
manded by the Chauffeurs' Union
not the Building Trades Councils
impracticable to our present and
future employees.
Our 40-year attitude of fair deal
ing with labor has not and will not
change.
I'VE have no differences with the
building trades who left our Job in
sympathy with a scant dozen de-
livery drivers thus tying up building
operations of another $500,000 in
addition to the vast amount we have
already been happy to place in cir
culation.
For weeks while our delivery and
receiving departments were block
AIDED, members of several unions
were at work in other departments
OF our store. During our building
and modernization program Block
gave employment to more union men
in the building trades than any
other private enterprise has done in
several years. But suddenly without
dispute of any kind lat men with
daily pay roll of $1,000 were or
dered to cease work"

MONGOLIA IS
DANGER SPOT,
SAYS HOWARD
Publisher Doubts There Will
Be Immediate War
in Europe.

United Press stafr Correspondent


NEW YORK, April 2.-Soviet-
japanese border clashes have made
Outer Mongolia the finder box of
the world, Roy w. Howard, chair
mon of the Scripps-Howard news
papers, said today upon his return
from trip around the world.
The Outer Monaghan situation is
much more tender than any in
Europe" Howard said aboard the
s. S. Bremen.
He recalled his recent interview
with Soviet Dictator Josef Stain
in which the Russian leader warned
Japan that the Soviets would fight
to maintain the independence and
territorial integrity of sovietized
Outer Mongolia.
After tour of the Far East, In
dia, portions of the Near East and
Europe, in which he talked length
lily with Stain, Adolf Hitler and
other international figures, Howard
was reluctant to prophesy the in
ternational future.
ut would be tempting fate to pre-
dict the events in Europe" the pub
Usher said. There is nothing to go
by. But there is every reason to be-
lieve that, despite Germany's re-
occupation of the Rhineland, there
will be no war in Europe for at least
two years.
New Alignment Going On
"There is one very good reason. A
complete, new realignment of ma
tons is going on. They are choosing
up sides. They are seeking to deter
mine whose friend is whose.
when I left Europe only five
days ago it appeared perfectly obvi-
Gus that no nation or group of ma
lions was going to attempt to force
German troops out of positions they
have occupied in German territory
while the general international
realignment is going on there is
another in progress in England
where there are two schools of
thought:
q. Desiring England to partici-
pate In security pactS ringing Ger
many with men and steel and max
ing it impossible for her to fight
with any hope of victory.
20. Favoring an isolationist policy
for England. This school wants
England to get out of the rows on
the continent and back to her old
position of Europe's honest broker.
1T wants England to return to her
old position, giving her balance of
power; able to swing her weight
and influence against any OBJ
streperous nation"

Statements Made by Com.
pany, Labor and Federal
C0nciliator.

Efforts to settle the strike of ap-
proximately Ia delivery drivers ano
helpers at the William H. Block Co
were reported unsuccessful today as
a result of the unions demand for
a CLOSED shop"
Robert Fox. United States concili-
ator, said today that differences be-
tween the store and the union had
simmered down to "a refusal of the
store to sign an agreement along
closed shop lines with the union" He
added: THE door, however, has not
been closed to the possibility OF
further negotiations"
Charles Wilson, representing the
Building Trades Council, which has
been supporting the drivers, said
hour and wage questions could be
adjusted but that the CLOSED shop
feature is resulting in a continual
ton of the strike.
Harry Peats of the Transfers
Union, could not be reached for q
statement.
Concerning the negotiations, the
William H. Block Co. issued the
following statement:
For days we have been negoti-
ating with conciliators of the United

here from Washington and repre-
sentatives of the Building Trades
Council without result.
