Failed To Act
On Fugitives'
Near Death
MICHIGAN CITY, Ind., Sept. 27
-(IP)-Two hundred National
Guardsmen were mobilized in Indi-
ana's "war zone" tonight to assist
hundreds of police and citizens in
hunting down 10 escaped killers and
robbers from the state penitentiary.
They were sent by automobile with
machine guns, rifles and gas bombs
into a region near Chesterton, Ind.,
25 miles to the southeast, where five
of the desperadoes were last seen.
With the convicts, or perhaps slain,
was Sheriff Charles Neel, kidnaped
by them as they fled the prison.
There was an atmosphere of ten-
sity at the prison. Every one of the
2,000 inmates was being questioned
about the long-plotted break.
Search for Weapons
A cell-by-cell search for weapons
was carried out. The vigil of guards
was doubled over the corridors
through which the escaping prison-
ers walked yesterday with bundles of
shirts from the prison shop conceal-
ing pistols, knives, and clubs in their
hands.
Finley P. Carson, a clerk shot in
the hip and abdomen when he failed
to obey an order promptly, was re-
ported in danger of death.
A murder charge in the event Car-
son died, together with charges of
kidnaping Neel and two other mo-
torists whose automobiles were com-
mandeered, prison officials said,
probably would make the escaped
convicts doubly dangerous.
Aunt Men, in Woods
The search centered about a wood-,
ed area five miles south of Chester-
ton; where the fugitives fled with
their captive after wrecking an auto-
mobile stolen from Virgil Spanier, a
farmer. The sheriff's car previously
had been wrecked.
Vigilance over highways and a
railroad line led State and local po-
lice to believe that the convicts could
scarcely have escaped from the area.
GUARDS WATCHFUL
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 27-(RP) -
With 68 convicts segregated for
judgment, Pennsylvania's Eastern
Penitentiary returned to normal to-
day after one of the worst riots in
its century of history.
But in the center house, from
which rows of cells radiate like the
spokes of a wheel, guards and state
troopers waited for any recurrence
of the outbreak which they, aided
by 400 Philadelphia police and fire-
men, quelled early today. .
Six men, including the warden and
a chaplain, were injured seriously as
prisoners raged in their cells, set
mattresses - afire and attacked offi-
cers who tried to enter the cells to
extinguish the flames.
Machine guns, rifles and tear gas
bombs were sent to the scene, but
not one was fired. The sobering ef-
fects of high-pressure streams from
fire hose and the dulling thud of riot
sticks took the fight out of the con-
victs.
"This trouble has been going on
for some time because of the anti-
quated building, lack of space and
shortage of guards," Warden Her-
bert J. Smith declared. "We have
three or four men in every cell that
should have only two."

30-Hour Week
]Demanded 'By
Union Workers
Plan To Take Advantage
Of Opportunities Under
National Recovery Act
WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.-(1)-
Unionized workers started a move-
ment today to take full advantage
of opportunities allowed them under
the recovery act, and demanded of-
ficially, through the American Fed-;
eration of Labor, that forthcoming
NRA codes limit their hours on the
job to a 30-hour week.
Two meetings preparatory to the
federation convention next week were
under way-the metal and building
trades departments. Official reports
of both said a work week longer
than 30 hours would not re-employ
the jobless. Officers of the union
label trades department, which
begins its convention tomorrow, said
similar recommendations would be
made to that group.
Resolutions already being drafted
suggest that each of these trades cov-
ering hundreds of thousands of work-
ers inform the federation of their
desire for a 30-hour code week. Of-
ficers of all three trades agreed these
resolutions would top their proposals
to the federation convention begin-
ning Monday.
Urschel Cash
Recovered By
United States
COLEMAN, Tex., Sept. 27.-()-
From a cotton patch Federal agents
today dug up $73,250 of the Charles
F. Urschel ransom money buried by
George "Machine Gun" Kelly, who is
under arrest at Memphis.
Acting on an unrevealed tip, the
agents went to the farm home of
Cass Coleman, an uncle of Kelly's
wife, and arrested Coleman. Then
they went directly to a lone mesquite
tree in the middle of a cotton patch
a half mile from the farmhouse and
began digging.
In one hole they found a thermos
jug containing $46,000 in $20 bills
neatly stacked. In another nearby
they came upon a molasses can
which contained the rest of the
money.
Jhack Sharkey
Loses Battle
To Loughran
Crowd Of 10,000 Stunned
As Philadelphian Scores
Near Knockout In Tenth
Deciding Vote Cast
By Referee Murphy
Loughran Gains Revenge
For Three-Round Defeat
Four Years Ago
BAKER FIELD, PHILADELPHIA,
Sept. 27.--(P)-The revenge that
Tommy Loughran has lived for
through four troublesome years came
sweetly to him tonight as he jabbed
out a 15-round decision over fading
Jack Sharkey and even managed to
batter to the floor the man who
knocked him out in three rounds in
1929.
Before a home crowd of no more
than 10,000, the fleet Philadelphian
courageously stood up under a ter-
rific bombardment, boxed his way
out of one trying moment after an-
other, and then stunned the gather-
ing by dropping Sharkey to his knees
in the tenth with a right-hand smash
to the chin.
In fact it was this amazing touch,
probably the hardest Loughran-
famed for anything but his hitting
-ever delivered, that gave Tommy
the decision. The two judges, A. L,
Boice and Herman Weingert, were
divided in their opinions, the first
voting for Sharkey, the second for
Loughran. Referee "Spud" Murphy
scored the rounds evenly, giving
Loughran six, Sharkey six, and call-
ing three even, but his deciding vote
was for Loughran because of the
knockdown.
It was a far more thrilling duel
than their first meeting in .the Yan-
kee Stadium four years ago when a
chance at the heavyweight cham-
pionship hung in the balance. Shar-
key caught Loughran in a corner in
the third round that night and felled
him with an overhand right to the
temple that ended the fight.
But tonight a 31-year-old Lough-
ran had the guile to evade an iden-
tical punch in almost the same mo-
ment of the same round in the cor-
responding corner, the endurance to
stand up under Sharkey's terrific
body batterings, and the courage to
keep going after the sailor's first
real punch, a left hook to the head,
opened a gash in his right eyebrow.
Loughran's margin was desperate-
ly close and many of the critics,
counting the astonishing knockdown
merely as an incident in one round,
gave Sharkey an edge over the route.
Commerce Halted
As Cubans Protest
HAVANA, Sept. 27.-(P)-Com-
merce throughout Cuba came to a
standstill tonight as thousands of
members and sympathizer~of the va-
rious Spanish regional societies reg-
istered public protest against a de-
cree of the Grau San Martin gov-
ernment.
Meanwhile, the labor situation in
several sections of the island became
more acute. A six-hour general strike
in Havana was scheduled for Fri-
day. Communists were active in some
places, new demands were made by
strikers at others and unconfirmed
reports of a new revolutionary out-
break were received.
Ring' Lardner Is
Recalled As Daily
Contributor In '16
Ringold Wilmer "Ring" Lardner
died Monday night. His death is felt
everywhere in the world of those
devotees of his style of writing-writ-
ing that caught its intended spirit
in a way that it is given to few men
to do.
Little things remind The Michigan
Daily of Ring Lardner. An old copy
of "Who's Who" in The Daily's mod-
est library bears his name. A former
managing editor was his nephew. But
it remained for Harold Charles Le-
Baron Jackson, '19, to tell it prop-
erly.
Jackson is author of the column,
"Looking in on Detroit," which ap-
pears daily in the Detroit News. His
column Wednesday night paid mod-
est tribute to Ring Lardner in a way
that few extended eulogies could
have done:
"Please mister, (the column
said) can I put a piece in your
paper?"
I looked up from the night
editor's desk of The Michigan
Daily, back in '16, to see a lean
serious face, shaded by a slanted
felt hat, staring down at me.
"Why, er," said I, "let's see it."
A slender hand stretched me
a sheet of copy paper. "I've al-
ways wanted," said the man's
voice, "to put a piece in a paper,
and you look kind-hearted and
maybe you'll print it. "It," he
mumbled, "is kind of a poem."
A poem! I had my mouth all
open to tell this citizen to go gal-
loping back into the night and
take his pretty poem with him.
Until-I caught the first line. It's
a long time ago now. I can't re-
member that verse at all. But it
was light and gay and funny.
And I asked:
"Who are you?"
"Well," he said, "my first
name's Ringold and my second
name's Wilmer and my last
name's Lardner and mostly the
boys call me 'Ring.'"
For a good many years the
late Ring Lardner took a foot-
ball trip each fall with the Ann
Arbor delegation to some import-
ant out-of-town game; and each
year he contributed a piece to
The Michigan Daily. A circum-
stance that used to cause har-
ried night editors to shout, in
May, "Well, anyway, we'll have
one story worth printing, next
fall, when Ring Lardner comes to
town."

Free Press Says That State
Senator Was Motivated
By Hate And Revenge
Grand Jury Probe
Precipitates Clash
Senator's Wife Withdrew
Account Prior To Crash,
Witness Testifies
DETROIT, Sept. 27.-()-An open
controversy between the Detroit Free
Press and Senator James Couzens
(Rep., Mich.), an outspoken critic of
the executives of Detroit's closed na-
tional banks, flared up tonight with
the Free Press quoting the senator
as saying he was motivated by "hate"
and a desire for 'revenge"' against
the bankers.
The senator is quoted as saying in
an interview that "I know I'm
through politically," but that "I am
out to get revenge and I will never
rest until I get even with those - -
- who lied about me and my dear
wife."
At his Birmingham home, Senator
Couzens called these statements
"lies" and said the Free Press could
not prove any such ridiculous state-
ments." He said that in an interview
with a Free Press representative on
Sept. 14 he said he was in the Sen-
ate until 1937 and that "between now
and then I intend to decide what my
future will be."
Denying emphatically that his mo-
tive in continued criticism of former
Detroit banking methods were hate
or revenge, he declared his sole pur-
pose is to "correct an evil." He said
he had never brought his wife into
any controversy. He added that if the
Free Press "wants to get into a per-
sonal controversy, I am ready."
During the long-continued grand
jury investigation of the bank clos-
ing that ended last week, one wit-
ness testified that Mrs. Couzens had
drawn most of her account from one
of the banks just prior to the Mich-
igan bank holiday last February.
There was also repeated testimony
that Senator Couzens' opposition to
a reconstruction finance loan pre-
cipitated the banking crisis.
Faculty Endowment
Fund Well Started
The University of Michigan Club
of New York City has successfully
launched its Alumni Association ten-
year program with the collection of
$64,270.50gto date towards the per-
manent faculty salary endowment
fund, according to information re-
ceived from the directors by T. Haw-
ley Tapping, general secretary of the
local Alumni Association.
The sum already collected is only
a small part of the $200,000 original-
ly pledged in the campaign of the or-
ganization which started in 1930.
Mr. Tapping explained that the
fund would be given to the Univer-
sity. for the purpose of meeting the
offers made to valuable faculty men
by other institutions, thereby making
it possible to raise the pay of these
men beyond the limits of the budget.
PUBLISHER DIES
CLEVELAND, Sept. 27-(P)-El-
bert Hall Baker, who, in his own
words, liked "to see a paper striving
to improve the community in which
it is located," died last night at the
age of 79, after 35 years of planning
and building for the Cleveland Plain
Dealer and the city itself.
Will Teach
In Conflict Of Laws
A former student in the Law
School here, Prof. H. E. Yntema, who
also received a Rhodes Scholarship
while at the University and later re-
turned as an instructor in political
science, has been engaged as visit-
ing professor in the Law School for
the current year. He will give a
course in Conflict of Laws, a field in
which he has gained high recogni-
tion.
Professor Yntema, who was a
member of the faculty of the Johns
Hopkins Institute of Legal Research
until the dissolution of the Institute,
is a native of the State of Michigan
and received the degree of A. B. at
Hope College, in 1912. The following
year he received the degree of A. M.
and in 1919 the degree of Ph.D., from
the University. He was a student in
the Law School here during the
years 1912-1914.
Having won a Rhodes Scholarship
in 1914, Professor Yntema became a
student at Oxford University, and in
1917 he was given the degree of
B. A. in Jurisprudence from that
university. In 1921, after a year of
graduate work at Harvard, he re-
ceived the degree of S.J.D. from that
institution.
It was from 1917 to 1920 that Pro-
fessor Yntema was an instructor in
political science here. Then, from
1920 until 1923, he was lecturer in
Roman Law and Comparative Juris-
prudence at the Columbia University
Law School and was Associate Pro-
fessor of Roman Law for the six fol-
lowing years, at the same institution.
This position was followed by his
work with the Johns Hopkins Insti-
tute for Legal Research.
His field of special interest in the
law is described as Comparative Law,
though during the current year he
will place special emphasis upon
Conflict of Laws.
Registration Of

To Start Soon
Committee Appointed To
Supervise Club's Work
For Current Year
Registration for the Case Clubs of
the Law School, extra-curricular or-
ganizations providing work in the
analyzing, briefing and arguing of
questions of law which arise upon
hypothetical cases, will be held from
8:30 a. m. to 4:30 p. m. next Mon-
day and Tuesday, in the first floor
corridor of Hutchins Hall, according
to an announcement issued by the
faculty advisers of the Club.
A committee to supervise the work
of the Club for the current year has
been appointed which includes three
faculty members, Prof. James B.
Waite, Prof. John E. Tracy, and Prof.
William Blume; and a student com-
mittee headed by Nathan Levy, '34L.
Participation in the work offered
by the Club, which is open to fresh-
man and junior law students, is
wholly voluntary and no credit is
given for the work. However a new
ruling, which goes into effet this
year for the first time, provides that
students who complete two year's
work in the Case. Clubs in a satis-
factory manner may, at their own
option, be excused from part of the
work in the Practice Court, which
is normally required of all third-
year students.

Of Student Activities To
Deliver speeches
In anticipation, of a large and
enthusiastic attendance, final plans
for the annual Freshman Banquet
to be held at 6:15 p. m. today in the
Union have been made by those in
charge.
Appearing before the members of
the class of 1937 at their first offi-
cial class function, T. Hawley Tap-
ping, general secretary of the Alumni
Association, will deliver the principal
address of the evening. Other speak-
ers on the program include Fielding
H. Yost, director of athletics, Harry
G. Kipke, head football coach, Stan-
ley Fay, '34, captain of the 1933 Var-
sity football team, Robert E. Saltz-
stein, '34, president of the Union,
and Thomas K. Connellan, '34, man-
aging editor of The Daily.
Expect Crowd of 300
Reports yesterday indicated that
there will be approximately 300
members of the first year class pres-
ent for the get-together, which was
interpreted by those in charge of
the arrangements as an indication
that the reduction of 25 per cent in
the admission charge of former years
has been enthusiastically taken ad-
vantage of by freshmen men.
Also included on the program will
be a number of Michigan cheers led
by Thomas B. Roberts, '34, head
cheerleader, and a musical program
by the Michigan Union Band. Toast-
master for the evening Will be Ed-
ward W. McCormick, '34, secretary
of the Union.
To Show Gridgraph
Permission has been granted by the
Interfraternity Council for freshmen
to break dinner dates with frater-
nities for this evening if they wish
to attend the banquet, Bethel B. Kel-
ley, '34, council president, said.
The first official showing of the
Gridgraph, newly perfected mechan-
ism to follow the action of football
games away from Ann Arbor, will
also be held at this time. On a space
representing a gridiron, it pictures
the exact position of the ball on the
field, the name of the player who
carries it, downs, score, and other
details.
Tonight a part of the 1932 Mich-
igan-Minnesota game at Minneapolis
will be depicted as an exhibition, and
during the coming football season
it will be used for every out-of-town
game Michigan plays, recording all
moves at the exact time they occur.
This will be the first time that stu-
dents here have had an opportunity
to view the Gridgraph, though it has
been used with great success in other
localities in past years.
Reservations for the banquet may
still be made today at the student
offices in the Union.

Reed Granted
New Trial In
C ircuit Court
George D. Reed, Detroit fireman
convicted, of first-degree murder
early last May, is to be retried on
the same charge next Tuesday by
Judge George W. Sample in Circuit
Court here.
Arrested on May 5, shortly after
the discovery of his ex-wife's bullet-
riddled body on the Dixboro Road,
Reed remained mute for more than
80 hours before he confessed to the
crime.
Summing up the case in a hearing
before Judge George W. Sample,
Prosecutor Albert Rapp stated that
there was no evidence to prove that
the crime was pre-meditated. Reed,
however, was sentenced to life im-
prisonment in solitary confinement
and hard labor at Marquette Prison.
In appealing his case, Reed stated
that the sheriff's officers -promised
him clemency if he would confess.
Reed will be defended at his new
trial by a Detroit attorney.
