BY MAT RICK EARLY. Indiana Democratic leaders plan to play an important part in the Chi cago national convention by boosting the delegate strength of Governor Franklin Roosevelt to more than a majority for the party's nomination for President. Due to instruction of delegates In other states during the last week the strength of the New York Governor has been brought to within a few votes of a majority.

Should the loaders of Hoosier De mocracy have their ideas carried out in the state convention, June 20 and 21, the state's quota of thirty dele gates will be added to the Roosevelt strength. Indiana Democrats now in the sad dle of party affairs believe that If Roosevelt can muster a strong majority, but short of the necessary two-thirtls vote required to nominate, he can not be denied the place at the head of the ticket. Delegation to Re Solid. The plan of sending a solid delega tion to Chicago for Roosevelt has been gaining ground since the Democratic state reorganization a week ago' when R. Earl Peters was reelected Btate chairman with the aid of the organization of Paul V.

Mc- Nutt, candidate for the nomination for Governor. Chairman Peters has been counted in the Roosevelt camp for soma time, but now It Is revealed that the McNutt organization is virtually a unit for the Empire state executive. McNutt's nomination for Governor is believed In the bag by his organiza tion and therefore the Intense Interest In the nominee for President. The one thing the backers of McNutt do not want to happen is a deadlock for the nomination for President and the re-enactment of scenes that occurred In Madison Square Garden in 1924 when party hopes were blasted by the clash of the Smith and McAdoo forces. Pick Roosevelt as Rest.

Therefore Roosevelt has been picked as the best man to win and thus prevent trouble in Indiana in November for the Democratic ticket. The one thing apparently settled definitely by the Peters-McNutt men in their arrangements for the state convention is that no effort will be made to apply the unit rule. Indiana has always avoided clamping down this rule which makes It mandatory for the entire state delegation to vote with the majority decision. Instead it seems to be the plan to send delegates to Chicago who will be conscious of the ambitions of the party in the state and will not vote for any candidate for President who might be a drag on the ticket in the fall election. Newton D.

A temporary order restraining the Indianapolis Water Company from collecting rate Increases, granted recently by the Indiana public service commission, from a group of eight apartment house and realty companies headed by T. A. Moynahan, will be granted at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning In Superior court, Room 2. Judge Joseph R. Williams called the attorneys for both parties before him yesterday and informed them of his intention.

Joseph J. Daniels, attorney for the water company, besought the court to postpone issuance of the order until June 1. Carl Wilde and A. B. Cronk, attorneys for Mr.

Moynahan, objected strenuously to this, contending that it would enable attorneys for the company to go Into the United States District court or the Indiana Su preme court and take some action that would Interfere with Judge Williams's jurisdiction over the case. Refuses to Delay Decree. Judge Williams also held this view apparently, for he refused to permit the matter to drift and announced that his decree would be entered to morrow morning. It Is apparent that i the order will place the water company in an extremely difficult position. Some of those conversant with the situation take the view that the company has only three alternatives: Reduce the rates to their former level and accept the loss entailed.

Appeal the Injunction Buit to the Indiana Supreme court and in this event it still would be prohibited from collecting the Increased rates, as an appeal does not nullify an in junction or restraining order before the higher court gives its decision. Or file an appeal for an emergency rate order before the Indiana public service commission. Rate Schedule Confused. There are two other matters that will bother the company considerably. If the rates are illegal, the increases collected will have to be refunded.

If the new rates are not illegal, under what rate will the company collect from the Moynahan companies? The new rates, involving the increases, are the only rates on file before the public service commission, and they took the place of the canceled rate schedule. Mr. Daniels declined to make any statement concerning his intentions, merely explaining that he intended to study the situation. The agreement between the attorneys for both sides and the court was that no further steps would be taken prior to the issuance of the temporary restraining order. (Juestion of Increased Rates.

At the hearing prior to the issuance of the injunction, William L. Ransome of New York, one of the attorneys for the water company, stated in court that any interference with the present rate schedule wouid result in an increase in rates. Such an increase, however, can not be granted without a hearing before the public service commission, whicn would involve considerable delay. In the meantime, the injunction would continue to apply. The difficulty had its inception when the public service commission, followed an agreement between the water company on one side and the city and the South Side Civic Clubs on the other, reduced the domestic monthly minimum charge from $1 50 for 700 cubic feet to $1.03 for 500 cubic feet and also eliminated from the city's fire protection water bill.

The company declined to accept loss greater than $55,000 a year, so the commission increased CONTINUED ON PAGE 1. Vv 0 TO 0 WATER COMPANY A BUSY YOUNG AMERICAN woman is Mrs. Amelia Ear-hart Putnam. She has been a war nurse, photographer, social worker, editor and recently she married. She took up flying because she thought it would be interesting, and 'LANDED IN IRELAND YESTERDAY, HAVING FLOWN ALONE ACROSS THE ATLANTIC OCEAN.

That is a considerable career. Lindbergh's flight gave the world an idea of the courage stored up in young American men. This flight by Mrs. Earhart Putnam will let them know something about American girls. Nobody can estimate the terrific enersrv possessed by American wom en, or how great a loss it is to the world that so little of that energy is made useful.

we mougni tt piij falls rolled on without harness to use its power. There are a million Niagaras! locked up in the mental, nervous and physical energy of American women. Some day it will all be utilized and men will take their proper, inferior place and spend much time saying: "Did I tell you what my wife did yesterday?" Mrs. Earhart Putnam intended to fly straight to France, but had what she called "a little trouble." She flew for hours through storms, mists, rain and fog, and for ten hours flew with her exhaust manifold burned out. Also her gasoline gauge had broken in a storm.

There was some gasoline leakage, so she "thought she might as well come down." While Mrs. Amelia Earhart Putnam was making her "solo" one-day flight across the Atlantic ocean, the giant German heavier-than-air ship DO-X was hopping off to Europe at 4 o'clock yesterday morning. She will land on Lake Constance, in Switzerland, and go via the Azore Islands, out in the Atlantic. Shortly after his great trip, Col. Lindbergh told this writer and others that when ocean flight becomes a regular part of travel, the route via the Azores will be' used to avoid starting with unnecessary loads of fuel.

While the British read of an American girl's flight across the Atlantic ocean all alone, they also read that the American girl golfers have neatly and completely cleaned up their British golf sisters in competing foursomes. Splendid girls, those golfers that America sent, but the skinny type of American woman wasting her energy trying to keep thin should observe the SIZE of the winning golfers. Not one weighs less than 140 nounds. Short skirts reveal legs fourteen to sixteen inches around at the calf, with shoulders strong, chests deep, faces plump and smiling. The world does not want the painted skeleton type of girl, for golf, companionship, or for motherhood.

Jesse I. Straus, urging via the radio, support of the unemployed, describes excellent work done by New York's block-aid system of relief. The block-aid consists in organizing city blocks into separate units, each to care for those in need within its own boundaries. Mr. Straus reports that in many districts the poor are most generous in giving to those still poorer.

The poor know what poverty means; many of the prosperous do not and can not imagine it. Statistics show that New York speakeasies, replacing the old-time saloon with three speakeasies for every saloon, have become "a real business." They pay $6,000,000 in rent yearly, occupying usually old-fashioned residences with entrance through the basement door. And they pay employes $213,000,000 a year in wages. One thing may be said for the old-fashioned saloon: With all it's objectionable features, it never became a rendezvous for young girls, otherwise respectable. Hundreds of thousands of women in New York who would have been ashamed to have been seen in the old-fashioned saloon, frequent speakeasies regularly.

Ereaking the law has a charm for some Americans. An elderly New England physician, driving with a woman 22 years old. stopped in a lonely place "to let the young woman light her cigarette." Men appeared, armed, beat him, robbed him, and drove away with the young woman. The police haven't found her, the car, or the highwaymen. The doctor says he knows little about the young lady, having met her a few days ago.

Police suggest that if you know little about a very young lady, it is wise NOT to stop a car in a lonely place to let her light a cigarette. Washington investigation shows that at least one hundred members of the House of Representatives have members of their families on the public pay roll, as secretaries or otherwise. There can no reasonable objection to this, if the congressmen's relatives actually work for what they get. It appears, however, that a considerable number draw what might be called "complimentary salaries," doing no work. In this era of "violent economy," that might be changed.

I'' FOG AND FIRE IN First Woman to Fly, Alone Across Atlantic Sets Best Time for Distance on Second Trip. CULMORE, Ulster, North Ireland, May 21. OT Amelia Earhart Putnam, the first woman ever to fly the Atlantic alone, landed this afternoon in a field in this green countryside after a hazardous flight in which she conquered fog and storm and the even more dangerous menace of fire. Four hours and fifty-four minutes after she put out yesterday afternoon from Harbor Grace, Newfound- land, she saw flames spitting from her exhaust. But she didn't turn back.

"I thought it safer to go ahead," she said. Tonight she slept in the farmhouse of Robert Gallagher, owner of the field in which she landed. Tomorrow she will go on to Croydon, England, in a borrowed airplane, leaving her own red and gold monoplane to be crated up and shipped back home. Lands Near Farmhouse. Flying on the fifth anniversary of the successful conclusion of Col.

Charles A. Lindbergh's New York-Paris hop, she put her name just under his on the roll of trans-Atlantic honors, for Col. Lindbergh is the only other person in the world who has made a solo trans-Atlantic flight. It was 1:45 p. m.

(6:45 a. m. Central standard time) when her almost fuelless ship came to rest in Mr. Gallagher's field within a few yards of the farmer's cottage. She bounded out of it and ran to the farmhouse, where she found a very surprised Irishman.

Mr. Gallagher offered her tea but she was in too much of a hurry to take it. So he motored her to Londonderry, five miles away, and there she put in a trans-Atlantic call. "I did it!" she exultingly told her husband, George Palmer Putnam, publisher, who was waiting anxiously in New York for news of her. 11 Hours and 51 Minutes.

Mrs. Putnam made approximately two thousands miles in 14 hours and 54 minutes, giving her the best time record of any of the trans-Atlantic fliers. She was headed for Pans when she took oft from Harbor Grace, but she encountered too much trouble to make it possible to go any farther almost too much to get to Ireland. "About four hours after leaving Newfoundland," she said, "I noticed flames from the exhaust and became very uneasy. But I would have taken four hours to get back and I thought it safer to go ahead.

Leak in Gasoline Tank. "My next trouble was a leak in the gasoline tank and all the time I was worried whether the fuel would last out the trip. "To add to my troubles I encountered heavy weather and the storm curtailed my speed. "I saw land at about the middle of Ireland probably it was Galway and then flew north. I next saw a railroad line and followed that to Londonderry, and I finally landed in the field.

May 21. The Lindbergh murder investigation turned tonight into a concerted hunt for a Jersey rumrunner, who, two days before the famous baby's body was found, told how the infant had been killed and where the battered little form had been hidden. There is a possibility this unnamed character may hold the key to the secrets of what is already one of the world's strangest crime mysteries. He has boasted, it was disclosed today, that he knows several of the band who perpetrated the fiendish kidnaping and killing. Jafsie on Mystery Mission.

As new light was thrown on gangster," now sought throughout the East, John Hughes Curtis, "hoax negotiator," conferred in his Jail cell at Flemington with an attorney, and "Jafsie," the ransom-payer, went dashing through New England on an unexplained mission. The lawyer who visited Curtis was from the shipbuilder's home town of Norfolk, Va. After he left it was learned two local attorneys had been engaged. They were expected to make early efforts to obtain the prisoner's release on bail. Another' Ransom Rill Turns l'p.

At the same time another of the bills used In paying the $50,000 ransom was reported to have turned up at a New York bank. Direct confirmation of the report was lacking. The two-day hunt for the man identified by state police only as "a gangster reported in Maryland and thought to be connected with the case." was given real significance by Arthur Mills, Identification expert at the Maryland house of correction. At Baltimore Mills refused to Identify the fugitive, but said he Is a character long identified with the liquor traffic In New Jersey. Two days before the broken body of Charles Augustus Lindbergh was found by chance in the woods five miles from his parents' estate, the rumrunner discussed the mystery with Mills.

WASHINGTON, May During the course of a blistering attack upon "so-called farm leaders," Peter B. Carey, president of the Chicago Board of Trade, today said six members of his organization could dispose of all the farm board's wheat for cash "at a steadily advancing price." "There is a tremendous demand for American hard wheat right now," his statement said. "I could appoint a committee of six members selected from our membership who in a short time and with absolutely no drain on the taxpayer could and would dispose of all of the government wheat at a steadily advancing price, with the inevitable favorable reflection on the general condition of the country." Sees Free Markets Destroyed. "I believe wheat should and would advance if the Federal farm board were forced by Congress to desist at once from their senseless efforts which have so far resulted in practically destroying the free, open, liquid grain markets which the farmer of the country has hitherto enjoyed," he said. "It is a sorry tale that the so-called farm leadership will have to carry home when Congress adjourns.

They have all but abolished the open, free and competitive markets, which required seventy-five years of intelligent effort by sane and experienced men to establish. "In its place they have substituted the lowest prices in history, which in turn have all but completely undermined the very foundations of the nation's prosperity. "Such interference with normal business as Is now contemplated by the Jones bill, the McNary bill and the Strong bill, make only for more bureaucracy, more Federal employes and lower prices." Refers to Pending Bills. He referred to bills pending in Congress designed to regulate trading on the commodity exchanges or put additional farm relief proposals into effect. Carey made the statement public after he had expressed similar views to Secretary Hyde at a conference in the office of the secretary of agriculture today.

The conference was on the proposal to make $100.000 .000 of reconstruction corporation finance funds available to sell government cotton and wheat abroad by'providing credit to foreign governments.
