Oct. 5. —Magnus Johnson, former senator from Minnesota, must redraft his complaint against Senator Thomas D. Schall, his victorious op ponent at the last election, to press his contest suit, a senate sub-commit-t- e has decided. The committee ruled that Johnson’s complaint was too vague to be a basis for further procedure. In consequence, Johnson's attorney with-1 drew it and will have three weeks in which to file a new one. Schall will! be allowed two weeks to make his answer to the new bilk Insinuations which Johnosn laid to Schall were held to be too general and not supporting Johnson’s conten t'on that Schall is not’entitled to the 8,000 margin of votes by which' Schall was victorious. o County Agents To Hold Meeting At Indianapolis Indianapolis, Ind., Oct. s—(United Press)—Mr. H.

Police Chief Opposes Wholesale Liquor Raids Indianapolis, Ind., Oct. s.—(United Press (—Police Chief Jlerman F. Rlk hoff took a stand todcy against ’’wholesale liquor raids.” Patrolmen are ordered to Investigate complaints against homes before seeking search warrants. Rikhoft said, scores of letters are received every day, citing alleged liquor law violations. Police were, ordered to make quiet investigations—before taking any action. He defended action of police who go into homes, while the search warrant is being read by another officer. ’’.Many times, the evidence can be poured by other persons in the home while the officer is reading the war rant to the one who answers the door," he said. — —o , , Urges Modern Methods For County Owned Farms Indianapolis, Oct, 5.— (United Press) —Modern methods on county farms throughout Indiana were advocated today as a means of replacing them on profitable operating basis by Professor Lynn Robertson, of Purdue Un) v. rsity. in a speech here to the Indiana State Conference on Social Work, ifnder auspices of the state board of charities. Robertson suggested that garden truck, fruit, poultry, dairy products and hogs be produced on the smaller county farms, rather than grain, point big out that profits would be greater. "Last year, approximately $1,750 per county was turned in by countypoor farms from sale of farm products," Robertson said. "Most of‘ these receipts were not from a stir- | plus of products of the kind used by ‘ inmates, but from wheat, oats, hogs, cattle and other products of a general farm business. Is it economical to raise such products on a county farm?” Answering his own question, Robertson declared that products for feeding the inmates should be raised on the county farms, rather than products for sale. He said this would pay larger dividends, because it would eliminate the system of selling the products at a low price and buying ethers at marke tvalue Col. Ernest P. Bicknell, vice-chair-man of the American Red Cross, in charge of Insular and Foreign Operations, outlined the work of the Red Cross iu a speech before the confer ence. "Here in Indiana you have an example of our relief work,” he said. "The most destructive tornado in the history of the world struck Indiana. Illinois and Missouri March 18th. "Out of the relief fund of the Red Cross, $235,000 was expended in Indiana, with the result that the enormous 'task of permanently rehabilitating '1.300 desolate families in Indiana is {practically completed, through the efforts of the Red Cross. “In the bewilderment and despair which follows the juggernaut of disaster, the Red Cross brings the beginning of hope, order and of plan.” I Lewis S. Bowman, auditor of state told of the affairs of county fars as | they are connected with state affairs. Bowman said that the couny commissioners and the superintendents of the county farms are in direct charge of the farms. I “To these officials should be placed the responsibility for success or failure of the Institutions," he declared, pointing out that they must set ouf business rules, make quarterly inventory, etc., which are examined regularly by the state board of accounts examiners. o A GUARANTEE OF MERIT To The People of Decatur: Knowing the people of Decatur are always anxious to see the best in the Theatre, and are ever ready to bestow their patronage when they are assure dthat the offering is of the first class, I am taking this method of calling your notice to the fact that the greatest comedy hit in recent years and the laughing sensation of two continents "The Gorilla” by Ralph Spence will be presented at the Majestic Theatre, Fort Wayne, for two night only, Thursday and Friday, October Bth and 9th.
