TRIAL WITNESS SOUGHT AFTER DISAPPEARANCE (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) called first when court took up this morning and he failed t > respond. Judge Erwin immediately issued a writ of attachment and ordered Arthur Clark. Decatur policeman, to conduct a search for the missing witness. Clark, with William Bell, special deputy sheriff, went to the Dailey home in Blue Creek township and searched through the southeastern part of the county and also at Willshire. Ohio, without finding trace of the man. Clark and Bell returned here at 12:45 o'clock this afternoon without the witness and stated that no trace could be found of him. No one was able to explain the sudden disappearance of the witness. The trial was continued and other witnesses were called. The defense took over the case later in the morning and a number of witnesses were called. Most of; the defense witnesses testified as i to the marking of the Dailev sheep. Benjamin Tarve, who admitted that as an employe of Stanton Dailty he aided in driving 61 sheep from the Young pasture to the Dailey barn, testified that Dailey told him the sheep were his. Ben S. Colter and Joseph Dattey. father of Stanton testified for the defense. Prosecutor Nelson did not state whether he would ask the court to hold up the completion of the trial qiitil Stanley Dailey was located. The court room was almost filled to capacity all lay today. w o FORD PREDICTS NEW RECOVERY AS PERMANENT’ (CONTINUED FORM PAGE ONE) • ~”lt we quit waiting for miracles I to happen And I think we have l quit —That is a long step forward.” i he told the United Press. "I am sure we are making progress, and 1 progress is always painful. We are ! all wiser men and women than we ; were, and we are going to make ; better use of the next decade. If ■ you want my opinion. 10 years from ■ now there will be much rial pros-I perity—l do not mean feverish, 1 speculative, false proseprity; but j real prosperity such as you can 1 keep, such as to make all p.evious , prosperity look small.” This practical philosopher of the machine age, who remade the face of America with his low priced au- I tomobile, is wondering like many ! others. He forced paved roads into ( the backwoods of the natioti. He I first demonstrated that high wages make good business. He ran the machine age into high gear and j taught the world what mass produc-1 tion could do. Yet he has s»en his world of 1929 ; come tumbling down in a chaos of overproduction. Thousands of his high paid workmen, the envy of the labor world, have had to go hat in hand to get food and clothing doled , out by the city of Detroit. Henry ; Ford, like the rest o fus, is wonder- '

f ing what is wrong that such a cali amity should happen while the meI chanical genius of mankind is in its t ; greatest flower. , 1 found him in his experimental I Laboratory at Dearborn. He and his I son, Edsel. were off in a corner J , examining the latest device of his ’■ engineers in connection with the ; new model to be put on the market. '' W? went into one of the offices. I I Ford tilted his chair back against • I a window, a tall, wiry figure in gray j which nobody knows how many I ■ mills ns in cash in banks, his great 1 , deerstocked estate across the road. I I secure so far as he personally is 1 concerned, a man who has profited "Ib.-yond the dreams of Midas from J the existing system, yet wondering whether somethin? better could ' j not come out .of it. ’j “What is the outlook? he asked ’(repeating my qu.-p»iou. j ‘'it depends wtietner you mean I tomorrow or next year. Things will J go along. Millions of people have steady work. There are paits of th.- , i country where they haven't heard , of the depression. Even when J things are slow the business of the I United States is pretty big. But I • don't look for recovery—l look for j something better. I hope we don't . recover the old system. 1 have no desire to see the country go On and create a bigger and better panic in say, the year 1940 We want to lo»e the old panic-breeding habits altogether.” He asked what wheat was doing on the market. I told him it had gone up on reports of damage to the Argentine crop. • Think of a system which suddenly become happy and hopeful when | the wheat crop is reported to have I failed.” he exclaimed. I "The wheat outlook is worse. I Therefore the financial outlook is i better, does anyone want that kind I of a system to recover? It isn't com- , mon sense.” i What, I asked him. should we learn from the depression. "Everybody has learned someI thing," Ford replied. “No one now believes that we can ever avoid i j work. "There is no Santa Claus. The ; i stock market is no substitute for ‘ I daily labor. No one gets rieh spec- | ■ ulating in stocks. I know there is a , . belief that there were some lucky I i ones—-But there weren't. "Stock speculation b.oke everyi body that had anything to do with ' ' it, both buyer and teller; there • were no favorites. Everybody was , to blame for what happened—You I can t exempt anyone there, either. ; Everybody helped bring it on ami | everybody will have to help to make ! it go. | Hoarding — there is another • thing we have learned something i about. We should have known bet- | ter than ever to attempt it, with . the example of Germany and other | countri s before us. There is a law of natu:e which says, use'or lose. llf you don't use your arm,’you I I finally lose the use of ft. It is the I same with money. The American dollar is as sound as a nut now. but it would not continue to be sound if everybody hid it away. When ' they hid their money in Germany, i a wash tub full of money would not ; buy a bag of flour. Hide away Am- , erican dollars and the same thing I would happen here. You have to use i money. It is only a receipt for something real. In itself it is nothing. If the system was right there would be no need of saving money anyway. Saving is only the result of fear, of a feeling of insecurity. The safest place anytime for money is in goods, provided you buy wisely of things you need and that are useful or productive, taking those meanings in their broader sense.” Ford feels that the average American has lost his independence. “We are soft.” he said. “We are used to being taken care of. Somebody provides our jobs. Somebody p ovides our wages. Some body tells us what to do and how to do it. it is only a step from that to the dole. Our old American self-reliance has

become flabby.. And I don’t mean workingmen only. Business men, too have fallen into the habit of having things done for them Thatis what a tariff does. "Business men would be better off if there wasn't a tariff left anywhere in the world. Busines would stand on its own feet. We want the government to tell us how many hours we can work. We want the government to get us a job. And a good many people want the government to eed them with a dole. We need to get back to the old American independence of character." What about the man who can't find a job. I asked. "There is work in this country for everybody,” Ford answered. “The work is here. The trouble is to coirect it with payment. 1 believe there is a law that if a man does the work that he sees needs doing he will not lack for support. Al! work is paid for in one way or another. "But a man must be a self-star-ter. The trouble is that so many are waitin? to be cranked. There is a sense in which wages may become a dole if they weaken a man's initiative. "The cities attracted many people who are now going back to the land. It is a good sign. On the land you do things yourself. You don't wait for someone to hire you to do them, it is that spirit of individual initative that we need." POLICE SEEK WOMAN’S SLAYER < -?- TI .^ IL L ELI FORM pAGE one, was missing. The purse was found about 100 feet from the body. Officers immediately started checking names and addresses found in the letters and in pencilled notations. The letter written by the son gave his name as Carl Sulk. Green Bay, Wis. It was dated Nov. 13. The other letter was signed Fat Ferrino and bore a Chicago postmark. The writing was illiterate and i almost illegible. It asked for money and said "I like woman who iis some good. If they have money, i I like. If they no money, I don’t j like." Lieutenant Edward Weber of the county polity expressed belief the ; woman was slain by some companion after refusing an appeal for funds. He said evidence indicated she was slain elsewhere and the body taken to the isolated spot later. MOTHER FACES MURDER CHARGE .CONTINUED FROM PAGE f)NEi be made to determine if arsenic also figured in his death. Medical examination of a son, Henry, 16, 'taken ill mysteriously recently was I planned. Further questioning of Mrs. Mason was to take place later today. Meanwhile murder charges were being prepared. The woman arrested in a surprise raid on her home early today after a medical report on her daughter's tody had disclosed large quantities of arsenic in the vital organs. Investigation of the death started when neighbors of the family told Coroner A. E. Allen of the peculiar circumstances surrounding the girl’s illness last August. Disclosure of the latest poison death follows closely the unsuccessful efforts of authorities of Senaca, 111., and Lebanon. Ind., to solve similar cases in those cities. At Senaca. a young girl died of arsenic poisoning and at Lebanon two children died as the result of a "poison picnic" where they ate sandwiches containing strychnine. "During the Mason Child’s illness last summer, the mother refused to allow local physicians to make a thorough examination," Coroner Allen said. "However, he had no suspicions of an unnatural death and dropped the case two weeks before the girl’s death. Another physician, called as the girl was dying, signed a certificate stating the cause of death was general peritonitis." Suspect Found Guilty Ottumwa. la., Nov. 18—(U.R) — : Melvin Furlong was found guilty today on charge of possession of burglary tools. Furlong was one of a trio captured here in an automobile allegedly loaded with guns and ammunition and which also was suspected of a bank robbery at Gas City, Ind. Furlong's companions will be | tried on the same charges of which he was convicted today. Sentence on Furlong will be passed Nov. 28. The maximum penalty under the change is 15 years in prison. Furlong's companions are Robert Kelso. Jeffersonville, Ind., and Frank Brown of Indianapolis. — ——— — Odd Fellows Convene Indianapolis. Nov. 18 —(UP) —The annual convention of the grand lodge of I.

SUNDAY SCHOOL GROUP TO NAME LEADERS TODAY “1 — (CONTINUED FROM FAG® ONE) bill of Berne. Mr. Striker introduced the various county officers, the toastmaster. and the township leaders who were responsible for the large delegations present. The Sprunger quartet from Berne sang two selections, and following the second course of the banquet. E. T. Albertson, of Indianapolis, gave an interesting talk. Mr. Albertson advised the youth of the Sunday Schools to discover the thing that needs to be done, In preference to the thing he thinks he would like to do, and then to try to accomplish this objective. He stated that a challenge is being offered youth to meet the problems of social order, including prohibition, and the i youth is expected to find a soluI tion. Mr. Albertson said that every | church needs honesty, loyalty, i and courage of its members, and 1 young people, to do the thing that ; needs to be done. He is a forceful I s-'eaker. and his short address ; was greatly enjoyed. The banquet was served by the i Ladies Aid Society of the Reformed church. Dr. Dearing Speaks , At the Tuesday evening session iof the convention, held in the auditorium of the Zion Reformed j church at 7:30 o’clock. Dr. JV. P. I Dearing gave an address on “Cheated ” Dr. Dearing stated, in his usual charming manner, that the greatest problems facing the youth of today is life placing, deciding where his life shall be invested. He stated that the mark of a I successful life is determined by investing one’s time, energy and

talents in one’s own personality. The great eternal responsibility of youth is the placing of his life In worthwhile things, being careful not to invest that life In violation of law. Those who invest their lives in lawlessness will be cheated. Dr. Dearing remarked. He said that when a young person starts out into life cries are heard everywhere, tempting him to invest his life in lawlessness and foolishness, and the important thing for the youth to decide is to place himself where the returns will not cheat him. Dr. Dearing illustrated his talk by a number of biblical illustra tions of characters, well known to all, who lived their lives, and in the end found themselves cheated, 1 as well as characters who were not cheated. Miss Lulu Gerber played the ’ organ prelude, and a song service was conducted by Rolland Sprung-1 ler Rev. H. H. Ferntheil, pastor I of the Presbyterian church of this : city, gave the invocation, and | special music was furnished by the Geneva School, and by the i Mennonite Male chorus. Little I Miss Christine Winteregg sang a vocal solo as the offertory. Morning Session An interesting program was presented at the forenoon session, this morning with H. G. Rowe.and ; E. T. Albertson delivering the adil dresses. ■ i Mr. Rowe spoke on the realm of I young people, including the physi- • | ca '- mental, social, and religious i side of young peoples' lives. He | mentioned thought, attitude, aeI ■ tion. habit, character, and finally - j destiny. I Mr. Albertson spoke on "Adults :j in Christian Education." telling ( the responsibility adults have in II the work of the church. Mrs. Dan Tyndall had charge of I the song service, and Rev. R. E.
