THREE HELD IN MYSTERY 'ACCIDENT" Clinton Man with Police Record Found in B. 0. Grounds FAILS TO REVIVE Three persons were held in the city jail last night for investigation after Charles Hildreth, 54, a native of Clinton, had been found unconscious in the Baltimore Ohio railway ground, about 5 a. m. Monday.

Hildreth remained unconscious in St. Mary's hospital last night where it is believed he has a fractured skull. Those held are Olga Merkle, Thomas Nealin and Walter White, all of 519 North Stone street, near the place where Hildreth was found. Police began action on the case after the man had been brought to the hospital. Adding to the mystery was the fact that Thomas "Hot Point" Lane, a former bootlegger, had been missing from the residence since 9 a.

m. yester- day. Revival Attempts Fail Nealin and White told police that they found Hildreth lying unconscious in the railroad lot in the vicinity of Jasper and Eldorado street about 5 a. m. and that they brought him to the house where Miss Merkle attempted to revive him by warming his feet.

When her efforts proved futile they sent him to the hospital about 4 p. m. Police are holding the woman and the two men for questioning by the state's attorney today. The three were able to explain satisfactorily they kept Hildreth at the residence all day without notifying authorities. Police said that the house at North Stone street is a well known bootlegging establishment.

Miss Merkle told officers last night that the sale of liquor had been stopped there about two weeks ago "because it didn't pay." "Hot Point" Lane, who has made his home at that location for several years was arrested by federal agents on Aug. 4. 1935, on a bootlegging charge and was sentenced to two months in jail. He has served similar sentences previously, records show. Evidence of Beating Hildreth, who bore evidence ot being beaten on the head has 3 local police record of 31 arrests, mostly intoxication charges.

He was last held at the city hall on April 11. In most cases he has given his address at 750 West Macon street, but it is said that he is a resident of Clinton. Miss Merkle told police that Hildreth came to the Stone street address frequently. bringing bones for her dogs in exchange for liquor. Lane, who was said to have been at the residence about 9 a.

yesterday, had not been located by police last night. POLICE MAY GET DAY OFF Mayor Seeks Additional Men for Department to End 7-Day Week Decatur city policemen, probably the only working men in the city who are required to work 365 days a year, may get a weekly "day -off" in the future if Mayor Charles E. Lee is successful in his plan to add a few more officers to the department. Mayor Lee is trying to figure the budget out so he can add three and possibly six more men to the undermanned department, he said Monday. The mayor said he hopes to be able to arrange a schedule so that the men can have a day off if sufficient man power is added.

Requires Amendment Granting the police officers a holiday once a week or even less often. would require the amendment of an ordinance passed by the city council in 1933. In that bill the council made it a law requiring policemen to work "eight hours a day every day." Mayor Lee pointed out that members of the police department find it almost impossible to get a day off because the department is undermanned. Instead of getting a holiday "off" once in a while, the cops finds holidays are their busiest working days.

For several appeared that sellannounced, ing of the car would be a job for police. Thomas Bishop, rural route 5, reported to headquarters on Jan. 5 that his car which he had purchased two weeks before had been stolen. Police recovered the auto in an alley in East Wood street on March 10, but Thomas was then nowhere to be found.

His employers said he had left the city for parts unknown three weeks before. Police later sent the license number to the secretary of state's office and word was received back that BUILDING IN CITY SOARS Permits for April Pass $100,000 Mark; $6,000 Above First Quarter Authorized construction in the city crossed the $100,000 mark yesterday and brought the amount of building, for which permits have been issued in April, to more than $6,000 above the amount authorized for the entire first quarter from Jan. 1 through March 31. So far this month, City Building Inspector Frank M. Horne has authorized $103,363 worth of construcunction.

total During was the $96,720, first three making months the total this year $200,083. Triple Previous Record With four more days to go in the month, April already has more than tripled the $34,152 in authorized construction during the same month last year. The $200,083 total for 1937 lagged well behind the $382.274 in building permits issued during the first four months of 1936. but in one week during January 1936. more than $300,000 in construction was authorized.

Permits for the $210,000 addition to Decatur high school and the 000 Woodrow Wilson school gym started 1936 off toward its final amount of $872,839. Both were federal works projects. Construction this year, however, has been spread out over a larger number of smal-. ler. yet substantial private jobs.

Only one permit has been issued in 1937 for more than $8.000 and it was for $49.588 to the A. E. Staley Manufacturing this month for new chemical laboratory. Plans Residence Mr. Horne has issued 14 permits since Jan.

1 for job amounting to $1,000 or more. Two of them came yesterday when Jean Barrow, 717 East street. received permit a $4,000 residence Whitmer, and Theo Rademacher, a contractor. was authorized to remodel Haines Essick book and art store at cost of $1.000. Mr.

Barrow will build a house of wooden construction with five rooms and a bath in the 2300 block North Main street. He received another permit to build a garage on the same lot at a cost of $200.

North street, and to Martha J. Webb, 1421 West Decatur street. who has engaged John Reede, contractor, to build a garage at that address for $150. Although the first four months of 1937 is running behind the same period in 1936, almost one-fourth the total amount of 1936 has been reached so far this year with the heaviest building months ahead. The amount of authorized collstruction at this time last year represented about 44 per cent of the total for 1936.

Not since the state certificate of title law went into effect in 1934 have police had occasion to seil an unclaimed car. Previously auto thefts had averaged 60 a month and police frequently staged "old hoss sales." At present there are less than fou. thefts a month and in virtually all cases, cars are soon recovered and traced to owners.

MYSTIC DENIES PREDICTION OF TORNADO HERE Decatur mystics and believers in seers may rest assured that the city will not be blown away within the next three weeks by a tornado, or, at least. they can count on the word of Rose Dawn, radio prophet, that she didn't make any such prediction.

It was rumored that last week the seeress of the ether. who broadcasts from a Texas station early in the morning, stated that Decatur would be wiped out by a tornado between May 1 and 15. Uneasy disciples of mysticism here heard reports of the forecast. The story spread and spread. Many of them.

STUDY JITNEY AUTO STALLS Council Favors Meter Plan, But Leaves Decision to Merchants A proposal to instal five-cents-an- to hour parking meters in Decatur's one-hour parking district was taken under consideration by the city council for the second time within a year on Monday when a representative of a Chicago firm offered to instal meters on a 10-day free trial Last summer the city council studied the parking meter plan ass a source of revenue and also as solution to the parking question when an Oklahoma City firm demonstrated the new gadgets. At that time, merchants opposed the proposa' to instal the meters and the plan was dropped. Yesterday members of the council expressed favor toward the parking meter idea again, but said it would depend upon the merchants who have businesses located along the streets where the meters would be installed. A. A.

Silberman, representative of the Chicago firm selling the meters, said the new toll machine for parking are now in operation in 38 American cities. He asserted the machines have proved their worth both as a solution to the problem and also as a source of revenue for the city.

Arthur Solbrig. radio engineer for the Ann Arbor company, presented maps.

charts and graphs to substantiate his testimony that no interference would be caused. Herbert L. Wilson. a New York City consulting engineer appearing for the Ann Arbor company, agreed that during late night experimental programs, some interference might be caused to stations on the same wavelength. He said, however.

he thought no interference would be given during the regular periods of broadcast. Would Halt Research Raymond M. Wilmot, testifying for the Interstate Broadcast company operating WQXR.
