It is one of those terribly sad affairs which seems necessary in this country occasionally. If a democrat was president with a big majority in the senate and congress it would be interesting to know what the Adams County Witness would say of the present conditions and the depression which causes an indefinite closing of the condensory. May we ask what effort is being made to relieve the depression, to secure a foreign market, to Improve general conditions, by the political playing congress which has been in power now for some time? A reformed bank burglar says the crime wave which has recently broken all records is due largely to the press, which tips off the burglar In advance when big shipments of goods or money will be made, and he also blames prohibition and the reform laws, in an interesting story printed in the National Pictorial Monthly. To stop it he suggests that the press be stopped from being a reference bureau, enforce the vagrancy laws, teach the police how to prevent crime rather than detect it. His story is at least new and interesting and he says the burglar has sensed

Though the district has been strongly republican for several years, a candidate who could come somewhere near breaking even in Delaware and Madison countie* would be elected, for Mr. ' Tyndall would carry Adams, Jay and < Wells by several thousand. He has ( had the experience on the farm, in | business and in office to give him the i qualifications for representing the dis- 1 trlct and he would make a moat excellent congressman. Mayor Shank of Indianapolis is do- - ing as was predicted, keeping the politicians in hot water. He is now bead ing a fight against the public service commission and today headed a delegation which marched to the state house to voice their disgust at the ac- i tion recently taken by that body in consolidating seven utilities as the Indiana Electric corporation. He de dared Saturday that while a republican, he would support any political party which agrees to abandon the public service commission. They may call him crazy, but he has much support and a lot of sound business citizens agree with him on some of his ideas. It wil ibe a lot of fun to sit on the side lines and watch Colonel Shank perform for four years. * RESIDENCE IS BURNED A telegram received yesterday i morning by Mrs. Jess Deam of this | city from her son, Burt Townsend, of , Chicago, contained the information | that the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Townsend, had been destroyed by fire. Details were lacking in the telegram and it is not known Just how serious a loss was sustained. Mrs.' Deam left Sunday noon for Chicago, j

TO COMPILE MAP Division of Engineering of State Conservation Department After Data SEND QUESTIONAIRES To All City Engineers and Clerks to Determine Disposal of Sewage. Indianapolis, Ind., Jan. 28—The division of engineering of the state conservation department, has sent questionnaires to all city engineers anti clerks of town boards in an effort to obtain information regarding the sanitary sewage and its disposal in th* respective communities. The questionnaire, according to John C. IMggs, sanitary engineer, is sent under th* Act of 1919. authorizing this state department to so proceed in order that it may be better enabled to render more Intelligent advise in response to inquiries referred to it from time to time for solution. Richard Leiber, director of the conservation department, says the engineering division has launched this survey to determine and estimate the volume of sanitary sewage and individual wastes turned into the public water courses of the state. The object of the survey is to gather and assemble data to enable the department to assist towns and cities in disposing of such wastes and also to prevent, as far as possible, stream pollution, a public nuisance in many part of Indiana. After receiving the data department engineers will compile a map showing the relative pollution of various streams of the state as indicated by the sanitary sewafe contributed on each watershed. The maps will show the streams of the state as a whole and will note their purity or pollution whichever the case may be. This survey also reflects back on the water courses of Indiana, Mr, Lieber says .as they are used for municipal water supplies, water for individual uses ad the use of such public waters for suporting aquatic life. For two years the conservation department has engaged on the stream pollution question, but the progress desired was not forthcoming until j about a year ago when the legislature

created within the department a di- I vision of engineering. In the past , twelve mouths hundreds of cases of ( this character have come before the ( engineering division, and in many instances, especially in northern Indi- ( ana, remarkably gratifying results have been obtained. CHILD KILLED AT WABASH WHILE COASTING DOWN HILL C. F. Judy, nine years old, son of Roy Judy, 471 East Hill street. Wabash, died shortly before noon Saturday as a result of injuries sustained at 10:45 when he was run over by an automobile driven by Mr.

Brothers of Lagro. Tbe child, with several other children, waa coasting down an embankment from the Wa-| bash railroad tracks. The driver of the machine, a father of five little children, was traveling along Hill street, and on account of a sharp turn in the street did not see the* children at play. The boy on the sled was going so fast that it would have been impassible for him to stop, if he had seen the machine. The sled passed under the machine just a few inches from tbc front wheels. It could not get clear of the machine, however, before the rear wheels struck the child. The boy's head and ' body was baldy crushed.

Attorney C. J. Lut» and grandwn. ■ Clark William Smith, spent the daj in Fort Wayne.
