FEWER ARRESTS ARE EXPECTED Sharp Decrease In Fishing Law Violations Is Predicted Indianapolis, June 18. — (U.PJ — A sharp decrease in the number of arrests for violation of the Indiana fishing laws was predicted today by Kenneth M Kunkel, Bluffton, director of the fish and game divis ion. Cooperation of nearly 400 sportsmen’s organizations, which have conducted a conservation educational program, and the fact that more licenses have been Issued than in previous years, led Kunkel to the belief. An active educational program in spreading information regarding requirements for fishing licenses, bag limits and minimum length of fish which can be kept has played I a large part in the successful campaign against law violators, Kunkel i said. Many clubs have one or more 1 members assisting game wardens. I donating their time to aid in the ; enforcement of fishing laws, Kunk- [ el said. The fishing season .opened June i 16 It closes April 30. 1935. YOUTH COMMITS SUICIDE TODAY (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) ed”. according to E. J. Nadeau. Kalamazoo. Michigan, a brother-in-law to whom Howard confided the club secret, and who revealed first information to police today. In some detective magazine, Nadeau told investigators, Howard said one of the boys had read that one man had resisted hanging 18 times. It was for the "suicide club" to find out exactly how long a person could strangle without dy-

ing. They had read, also, that by I wrapping the throat with a heavy towel one "probably could resist strangulation Indefinitely." Nadeau eaid Howard had told him That was just tlie way Howard's limp and dangling body was found last night when hie parents hunted him for dinner. Around his neck he had wrapped a Turkish towel over which was looped a most fashioned from a rope he found in his father's truck. An overturned crock lay at his feet. He stood on It while he fastened the "test" rope to an fiverhanging cross beam. , ■ O ■— Ge* the Habit — Trede at Home
