PARKING BANFOR 2 HOURSIS ADVOCATED

Limitation Would RelieveCongestion, Says Street

Car Head.

CITES RUSH PROBLEM

Carry 53 Per Cent of Pas-sengers From 6 to 8

and 4:30 to 6:30.Traffic congestion in the down-

town area of Indianapolis would bematerially lessened if parking wasforbidden for two hours a day,” de-clared James P. Tretton, generaluperintendent of the Indianapolis

Street Railway Company, at themeeting of tire Srientech Club atneon today at the Chamber of Com-merce.

Tretton discussed mass transpor-tation and street railway problems.

‘ Business men interested in traf-fic congestion would find that park-ing limitation would fill the relief.need,” he declared.

Explains ProblemsTic did not discuss the proposed

it-routing ol street cars, becausetiic plans had not been fully investi-'-atrd. but lrc explained the problemconfronting the street car company.

"We haul 54 per cent of our traf-fic nr four hours, the rush hoursof 6 to 8 a. nr. and 4:30 to 6.30 p. nr.

' The remaining 46 per cent ispread over a period of twenty

irours.“During lire rush hours wc have

to put in service 307 street cars,while but 175 operate during thequiet hours. In addition we somc-t inrefi have tc use as many aseighteen single-trip cars to takerare ol the rush.

' It is surprising to note that therehas been but little tall off in ourrush hour business, while there hasbeen a. 20 per cent drop in slow timebusiness in the last ten years.

Needed Four Hours“In response to the cry that we

iiould have more srfl ts during therush hour, it is well to note that astreet car costs $13,000, need bothmotorman and conductor and arconly needed four hours a day.

“We use double the usual amountof cars during the rush hour andthey mst stand idle the remainderof the day. The street car com-pany. to be frank, can't afford toput on more cars.”

Tretton declared that the Merid-ian stieet bus line, which goes intoservice Sunday, is expected to re-lieve much ot

AIR MARGIN 5 TO 1 SULLIVAN BANKAFFAIRS PROBEOPENSSESSION

Grand Jury Reconvenes toConclude Tragic Finan-

cial Crashes.

INCLUDES MAPLE DEATH

Suicide Theory Gainingin Support Among

Citizens.Bn Times Special

SULLIVAN, Ind., April 15.—Sulli-van’s interest today turned towardits bank tangle, which has affectedthree of the county’s financial in-stitutions, which has sent the presi-dent of one to serve a sentence offrom two to fourteen years in Mich-igan City prison, caused the deathof the vice-president and trust of-ficer of a second and which madethe president of the third a fugitivefrom his home city for more thana year.

This came with a reconveningthis morning of the grand jury tofinish its probe into the death otEdgar D. Maple, vice-president andtrust officer of the Peoples NationalBank, and into the affairs of thedefunct Shelburn bank, for forgerieson which Jessup Bolinger, its presi-dent, is now in state prison.

It seems improbable that Bolingerwill be brought back to face thegrand jury, though Prosecutor JesseBedwell had once declared hemight be.

Since the jury was granted a re-cess Bolinger has filed an inventoryof his assets and liabilities beforea federal court referee in bank-ruptcy. This, is is understood, isto be presented to the grand juryfor its use in untangling affairs ofthe Shelburn State Bank.

Woman on JuryMrs. Georgia Bard'ley, Shelburn,

is the only woman ,• ember of thejury.

So far as could be learned, nowitnesses in the bank cases wereheard at the morning session of thejury, those appearing being calledin another .case. It is expected thejury will be in session two weeks.

Developments today in the Bol-inger bankruptcy case included fil-ing of claims with W. T. Douthitt,trustee, appointed by Everett David-son, federal referee. The claims in-cluded one of $150,000 for the Peo-ples bank; $2,181.80 by Herschel V.Stark, receiver of the defunct FirstState Bank of Shelburn, and$9,496.60 for the Terre Haute TrustCompany.

Sentiment in Sullivan regardingthe death of Maple, who, it was dis-covered, had made heavy loansfrom his bank to Bolinger and dis-counted notes Bolinger forged, haschanged gradually until fully halfof the town believes he took his ownlife.

At first more than 90 per cent ofthe citizens believed Maple wasmurdered.

Bolinger’s inventory showed theloss of the bank Maple representedto be more heavy than at first wasthought.

It also showed that a Terre Hautebank, the Terre Haute Trust Com-pany, lost $23,000 through Bolinger’sbad pa>er. Since Maple’s death,James R. Royce. president of theTerre Haute Trust Company also itook his own life.

Following these events business ,men of the town speak more frankly 1of Maple’s death, saying they thinkhe shot himself.

Shortly after the grand jury was jgranted a recess, the town wasthrown into another uproar whenUncle Jimmie Lang, president ofthe Citizens Trust Company, whodisappeared more than a year ago,leaving a tangled condition of af-fairs at his bank, was brought backto his home town “to help straight-en out things.”

Bond Case Thursday

Uncle Jimmie's first statement toold neighbors was that he had nottaken a cent from this bank andthat he had returned to WilliamAbbott of Spencer $60,000 worth ofLiberty bonds which Abbott claimedhad been missing since Lang left.

Abbott’s suit for the return of thebonds will be tried in Knox county ,circuit court at Vincennes, startingThursday.

Sullivan, to a man, says it be-jlieves that Lang returned the bonds.It has continued to lionize Lang >since his return and is expected to jsend a delegation to Vincennes with jhim to give moral support during jthe trial.

Sullivan oday is as one of its jbusiness men declared, “lanquid” ininterest about the Bollinger-Maple |case, “since that money is gone, janyway,” but “rarin’ to go” in itsefforts to prove Lang “hasn't gotthem bonds and did nothing wrong :but get scared.”

CONGRESS ATWORK AGAIN;

FARM AID UPRelief Bill Will Be First

Order of Business inHouse Wednesday.

RE-ELECT LONGWORTH

New Members Are SwornIn; Hoover Address Set

for Tuesday.BY PAUL K. MALLON

United Press Staff CorrespondentWASHINGTON. April 15.—Presi-

dent Hoover's new and strongly Re-publican congress was convened inspecial session at noon today, todeal with farm relief and restrictedtariff revision.

With the farm bill prepared asthe first order of business in thehouse, where it will be consideredWednesday, and with an off-stagedispute in the senate as to whatthe program should be. both houseswere officially opened to transactroutine business necessary to organ-izing the session.

Vice President Charles E. Curtistook the rostrum in the senate,where he has for seven years beenfloor leader. When the bell of theold clock used for the last twentycongresses sounded the arrival ofthe noon hour, Curtis dropped hisgavel, demanded order, and gaveway to the chaplain for prayer.

Notables In AudienceWhile a distinguished audience

of Washington society people anddiplomats looked on from the gal-lery, the oaths of office were ad-ministered to four senators who didnot receive them last month and theusual resolutions of notificationthat the congress was in sessionthen were adopted.

An equally distinguished but larg-er crowd looked on in the housewhen William Tyler Page, the clerk,ascended the rostrum to preside un-til the speaker, Nicholas Longworth,was elected officially. Mr. Hoover’scall of the session was read and the435 representatives, including eightynew ones, were sworn in in groupsof twenty.

Both houses tomorrow will hearPresident Hoover's message settingforth what he desires in the way offarm and tariff legislation.

Farm Bill IntroducedThe administration’s $500,000,000

farm relief bill was introduced inthe house by Chairman Haugen ofthe agricultural committee a fewmoments after noon.

The bill was sent to the bill roomwithout formality, along iwth threeother farm relief measures whichHaugen hopes will be consideredduring the special session.

The senate adjourned at 12:25 p.m„ after 25 minute routine session,until noon tomorrow.

Storm signals are flying from themasts of both houses and the atmo-sphere at the Capitol is mixed withexpectancy and doubt.

Republican and Democratic lead-ers are at odds over the programof business and the house and sen-ate apparently already are at gripsover the farm bill. Mr. Hooverwants to hold the business to farmrelief and restricted tariff revision,but unless strongarm methods areused efficiently, congress may behere all summer, discussing prob-lems of the nation, including pro-hibition. Wall street speculation andthe social status of Mrs. Gann.

House Well in HandHouse leaders appear to have the

J situation well in hand for the Presi-dent. The new lineup shows 267 Re-publicans, 163 Democrats, oneFarmer-Laborite, and four vac-ancies, the strongest Republican ma-jority since the Harding landslidecongress in 1921.

With their strong majority andthe strict house rules, the leadersbelieve they can confine the businessto farm and tariff, and perhaps a1930 census authorization, coupled

! with reapportionment of the house! to be based upon the results of thatj census.

The tariff hill will be ready tor| consideration in about ten days. It!is being prepared secretly by the

: ways and means committee.The senate, however, is another

| story. Senator Robinson ol Arkao-I sas, Democratic floor leader, has de-clined publicity to go along with thecurtailment program. He wants ac-tion on several other bills, including

, one dealing with the relations ofthe Federal Reserve board and Wallstreet speculation.

Threats of No AvailThe Republican leaders have mads

! persona l appeals and threats, to no; avail. Now they are scratching

! their heads and wondering whetherj domination of the session will run

I away from them. Their lineup shows56 Republicans, 39 Democrats, and

I 1 Farmer-Laborite, the strongest, majority since 1921.

Scores of proposals for generallegislation are to be offered. SenatorGlass of Virginia, is drawing aWall Street bill; Tydings of Mary-land. is planning an amendment tomodify the Jon 0 - prohibition act.

Hollywood. April 15.—Twomonths after she spurned a

parental mansion and wealth fora simple Hollywood bungalow andthe dude cowboy with whom sheeloped, the former CatherineThorne, Chicago heiress, was con-vinced today that she had madethe right decision in choosing love.

The home her husband, “BigBoy” George Gillespie has pro-vided is anything but pretentious,but it is cozy. There are no serv-ants, but there is happiness, Mrs.Gillespie said.

There are no idle trips aboutthe country or prospects of a visitto Europe. The fortune of thegirl’s father, Robert J. Thorne,millionaire and former presidentof Montgomery Ward <fe Cos., doesnot figure in the little home—-they're on “their own.”

Gillespie is looking for a job;he thinks it’s a movie job, orhopes. it will be. The cowboyworked in a Ken Maynard film asa pony express rider, but a picturedoesn't take long to make thesedays and production has beencompleted.

an a“AyES sir, we haven’t got muchI money. But we have a lot

of fun.” Gillespie said as hestrummed a banjo. “That's noth-ing unusual with me. Lots oftimes, a meal and a place to sleephas been my fortune.”

As for the housekeeping—thebride looked at her husky hus-band and then said. “George doesall the cooking. He's wonderfulat it and —well, I couldn't evenboil an egg.

“He can cook anything, but helikes hamburgers best.”

“Yes sir, just let me see anydish and sniff it and I’ll turn youout that very same dish any style,bar none,” the cowboy assured.

“Don't think I have to do allthe housekeeping, though,” he puthis arm about his wife. “She’sone fine little seamstress and Ikeep her busy sewing buttons onmy shirts.”

Gillespie is teaching his wifecowboy songs and how to play thebanjo.

The romance of the cowboy andthe heiress gained nation-wide at-tention when they eloped fromCastle Hot Springs, Ariz., whereGillespie was employed and thegirl was a guest. Her father firstsaid she was under age and hadbeen kidnaped, but later withdrewa complaint.

Then the couple agreed to aten-day “love test” separation.But at the end of that time de-cided they still were in love andwere reunited here.

Killed.By United Press

NEW YORK, April 15.—A Parkavenue bridge party, where pre-warchampagne allegedly was served,caught official attention today asefforts were made to learn how Ar-thur Morgan Smith, wealthy Cleve-land (O.) business man, died.

Park avenue is to the New Yorkof 1929 what Fifth avenue was toNew York of the gay nineties. Thereis luxury, wealth and social prestigealong every step of the thorough-fare. The Hotel Marguery is cneof those residential hotels whereone's social prominence is surveyedalone with one’s income before alease is sealed.

It was to the Hotel Marguery that

■ Smith went Thursday night. He! died after returning to the HotelI Barclay and three persons are held,Samuel E. Bell, oil promoter of Bal-

j timore; Mrs. Robert L. Brown, so-cially prominent matron of Lexing-ton, Ky. and Frank W. Spence, a

; taxicab driver.Disputed Woman Released

Mrs. Brown was questioned todayby District Attorney Joab Bantonand later released. She told thedistrict attorney she knew nothingof the alleged altercation betweenSmith and Bell.

District Attorney Banton todayhoped to hear more about whatpreceded the death by calling Mrs.Robert W. Schuette, Smith’s host-ess Thursday night; Mrs. M. Wal-ter Beinecker and Mrs. Harold G.Barbee, Park avenue residents.

Mrs. Schuette had invited enoughguests to make several tables. Smithwent, but did not play bridge, ac-cording to Beinecke. He sat aroundand had several drinks during thecourse ol’ the evening, the guestssaid.

Smith, several witnesses said, be-came interested in Mrs. Brown andwith Bell escorted her down theelevator and out to the curbing.There when he tried to enter thecab driven by Spence, Bell pushedhim and he fell against the curbing.

Smith ‘Messy Drunk’Spence said that Smith was

“messy drunk.” although in Cleve-land he was not known as a drink-ing man. Police arrested Smith onan intoxicating charge and when heappeared in court Friday morninghe appeared so ill that the judgeordered him to his hotel.

A few hours later he died and atfirst his death was attributed to adiabetic condition. An investiga-tion later showed he had a frac-tured skull.

Bell insisted he did not knock thej Cleveland man down as some wit-nesses have asserted. Mrs. Schuette,former wife of Harry S. Harkness,went to her country home imme-diately after the event.

TRIBUNE QUITS RUSSIA;FLAYS SOVIET POLICIES

Bu United PressCHICAGO, April 15.—The Ch; -

cago Tribune announces editoriallythat it has closed its news bureau inSoviet Russia because “if an Amer-ican correspondent expects any priv-ileges from the government he mustcable thousands of words of Sovietpropaganda to his paper, and hemust be cautious with “he news heobtains from other sources.’’

Elaborating on its position, theTribune says:

“So our readers may have at leasta measure of news from Russia ac-curately and impartially presented,we have abandoned our bureau inSoviet Russia. Most of the newsthat American correspondents canobtain in Russia is contemptuously,

I and rightfully so, described ashandouts. The Soviet News agencyedits the news and fabricates infor-mation to conform with communistpolicies.”

Refering again to the correspond-ent, the editorial says: “He is treat-ed as a guest of the governmentand just so long as he acts as anagent for the Soviet regime he istolerated. When he presumes toact as an agent for the paper whichemploys him, maintains his offices,pays his expenses and pays hiscable charges when he attempts tobe faithful with his readers, he ispersona non grata.

“If he does not correct his course jat official suggestion, he is invited Ito leave the country.”
