THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

DavidTTabeggdr Recalls Picture “If you happened to notice the picture of the 1913 flood in the Decatur Daily Democrat Wednesday, you may have wondered who the young man was standing on the bridge at the right of the group.” David D. Habegger called this morning, and reported that he is tie young man pictured. He had just delivered 200 head of horses to Dan Beery at the sale barn across the street and he was "taking in the town” when the picture was taken by a local photographer named Moser. The big sale, for which the horses wore being gathered, and which would chaw hundreds of buyers from many states, had to be postponed because all the roads were under water, and no on; could get in for the sale. Habegger. now nearing his 82nd birlhday, recalled the occasion vividly, and described the flood. Erroneous Report On Accident Here A story in Thursday’s Daily Democrat concerning a two-car accident was erronously explained. A taxi driven by Kathryn E. Dawson was struck on the left side by a car driven by Naomi E. Tricker, in a mishap in an alley near the Hi-Way trailer court at 5:10 p.m. Wednesday.

Hated Blihiflianisf Is Taken By Death GREENWICH, Conn. (UPD — Alec Templeton, blind pianist who lived by the motto “What I can’t have I don’t think about,” died Thursday at his home. The 52-year-old entertainer had battled cancer for nearly a year. Although Templeton was born without sight, he was gifted with perfect musical pitch and almost total musical recall. Born in Cardiff, Wales, he first came to the United States in 1936 after four years as a concert artist in Britain. He became an American citizen in 1941. Templeton was never permitted by his parents to feel that he was handicapped. He once said he learned of his blindness at the age of 7 when a family visitor inadvertently used the word. His parents had prohibited its use in their home. He said he had supposed everyone lived in darkness and everyone recognized other people by the key and tone of voices. He took the first steps toward a musical career when he picked out his first tune on the piano before he was 2 and composed his first melody at the age of 4. After his arrival in the United States, he was an immediate success both as an amusing innovator who delighted stage and radio audiences and as a concert pianist. Private services will be held at his home Saturday. These will be followed by a public memorial service in Christ Episcopal Church here with burial in Putnam Park Cemetery.' Roger Spencer Tours With College Choir Roger Spencer, son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Spencer of Preble, is a member o fthe 28-voice a caoella choir of the Fort Wayne Bible College, which will open a 15-concert spring tour April 5 through 15.

Convicted Os Mail Fraud EL PASO, Tex (UPD —Reports circulated today that a federal grand jury wilt look for evidence of perjury in a trial that resulted in conviction of Billie Sol Estes on five counts of mail fraud and conspiracy. A U.S. District Court jury of 10 men and two women, with a' Negro foreman, found Estes guilty of four counts of mail fraud and one count of conspiracy Thursday after 49 hours and 44 minutes of deHberattoo. •' '■...... • The jury acquitted him of eight counts of mail fraud and one of interstate transportation of a fraudulent document. U.S. Dist Judge R. E. Thomason dismissed two other counts of mail fraud before the jury started deliberation. Estes, 38, a bankrupt farm financier who had high connections in Washington, could get a maximum of 25 years in the penitentiary when Thomason sentences him in about two weeks. He is already under a state court sentence of eight years for swindling a farmer. Estes sold 12 big finance companies mortgages totaling more than $24 million on anhydrous ammonia fertilizer tanks that never existed. U.S. Assistant Atty. Gen. Rufus D. McLean, who prosecuted Estes, refused to comment on courtroom reports of a perjury investigation. He said any statement will have to come from the Justice Department in Washington. Government witnesses said one thing during the trial that began March 11 and defense witnesses said the exactly opposite thing It was obvious somebody lied.

Name Committee On Controversial Bill INDIANAPOLIS (UPD—A fourman conference committee was selected Thursday to work on a controversial bill proposing repeal of household goods and poU taxes and providing SI,OOO exemption for homeowners. The bill at first only proposed to exempt from property taxation goods stored in warehouses for shipment, and was opposed by Dr. James Kessler, director of the State Tax and Financing Policy Commission, who said he feared it would open the way to other property tax exemptions. Democratic minority leader Sen. MarshaU Kizer, D-Plymouth, added to the bill the household* goods and poU tax repealers and* home owners exemptions and a fourth proposal to exempt farm crops stored in the farm where raised. Kizer said he “would kill” the bill if the Republicans in the Senate succeeded in eliminating his amendments in- conference committee. Republicans said they favor repeal of household goods and poll taxes but feel the state cannot afford it now. The measure is in the hands of its authors. Reps. Edward Madinger, R-Indianapolis, and James B. Stagg, D-EvansviHe, and the sponsors, Sens John Shawley, R-Mich-igan City, and James Spurgeon, D-Brownstown. Conference committees on four other House bills said agreement had been reached late Thursday and that the lower chamber would concur with the Senate amendments. One of these was a new code covering theft and crimes against property which a legislative study committee produced in an effort to eliminate confusion and varying penalties for the same offense. The others included: —Require the Indiana Board of Education to specify seven instead of five choices of textbooks in various subjects. The House bill had called for 10. —Require county tax adjustment boards to give written reasons for budget cuts. Originally this was a bill to permit school boards to appeal reductions. —Establish a formula for determining the salaries of teachers in special state schools for the deaf and blind.
