TUBERCULOSIS ; CAUSES DEATH Tuberculosis Causes Many Deaths Among School Children Evansville, Ind., Nov. 12—<U,R>— Tuberculosis causes more deaths among Indiana school children than any other communicable disease, the Indiana state board of I health reported today. ,! Accidents are responsible for the greatest number of deaths to persons between the ages of five : and 20 years, the report said. The general death rate from • tuberculosis has been cut in half ■ during recent years but the num- ■ her of deaths could he reduced ■ further since the disease is cur--1 able if treated properly during its early stages. “Probably all accidents cannot be prevented but every single ' death from tuberculosis can," Dr. Paul D. Crimm, Evansville, president of the state tuberculosis association said. ' “Tuberculosis is caused by a, germ and while it is not heredi*'tary the disease is a family dis--1 ease, because it is spread through | intimate contact," Dr. Crimm said. 1 Tuberculosis is curable, especially ' if it is discovered early and pro1 per treatment used promptly. ’I “It can be prevented if a. person 1 gets plenty of rest, good food. I fresh air aand sunshine and does not live in close contact with someone having tuberculosis. The I many sanatoriums of the state I provide a place for a tuberculous I person to ta.ke the cure.” JONES SPEAKS PONrTNUEn FROM PAGE ONE before 11 o'clock to commemorate , the close of the war.

Recent reports that Paul Redfern, the American aviator missing since 1927, is still alive have spurred a new attempt to find the airman. M. A. Melcherts, Catholic teacher, brought back to civilization from the wilds of Dutch Guiana the tale of a native there who reported Redfern alive. Sufficient credence is given to the story so that Major Willis Taylor, army ace stationed at Panama, has

STEPHENSON MOVE FOUGHT State To Fight Freedom For Former Ku Khtx Klan Leader Indianapolis, Nov. 12. «— KU.R) — Elaborate steps were being taken today by the state attorney generals office to thwart D. C. Stephenson’s latest legal move to escape a life sentence at the state prison. Attorney Genera! Philip Lutz, Jr., revealed that dei*ties from his office have been assigned to interview jurors and other prominent figures in the former klan dragon’s trial at Noblesville in 1924. Stephenson is serving life on a charge of murder in connection with the death of Miss Madge Oberboltzer. The investigation by the attorney general's office is being made to assemble evidence which will be presented at a hearing on a i writ of habeas corpus in Lal'orte circuit court. The hearing, granted by Judge ■ Wirt Worden last week, will de velop into what Lutz termed “virtually a retrial of the murder case in Hamilton coifflty.’* Stephenson contended iff his petition that his trial was illegal on the grounds the Marion circuit I court clerk did not sign the trans-

MANY TESTIFY IN FRAUD CASE Federal Court Hears Evidence Against Investment Firm Indianapolie, 'lnd., Nov. 12—(UP) — Numerous witnesses were to testify today before a jury in Federal district court of their earth and security h»*>ee in connection with their dealings with Pfaff and Hughel, bankrupt Investment house. Vai Nolan, United States district attorney, in hrs opening statement yesterday, charged Walter P. Pfaff, Myron H. Hughel and Robert B. Robinson, former officers and directors of the corporation, with "as tragic and sordid a misuse of other 'people's money as ever was unfolded in this court.” Defense counsel claimed the corporation always enjoyed the highest reputation for honesty and fair dealing. that the corporation made a great deal of money for many of its customers, that it was the desire of some of these customers for further profits that lead the firm more deeply into difficulty, and that the defendants never profited but on the contrary were pauperized by their efforts to save the firm. Four government witnesses, Dr. Hubert Pirkle, Rockville; Medford Burton, Oaktown; Dr. John M. Hale Mt. Vernon and Miss Agnes White his assistant, yesterday told the jury of paying for securities that never were delivered. Their losses, they said, varied from SIOO to more than SI,OOO each.

Hutson, chief of the AAA potato section, explained that if prices remain at preaent levels. “Them will be no incentive for growers to participate in tho diversion program which we had announced.” however, he said preparations Mould be continued for administration of the plan. The agriculiuro department's crop deporting board said the three per cent reduction in 1935 asttimates resulted from frost and freezing damage during October which slashed .potential haivests in most late producing stateue.
