THREE MURDER CASES AM SET FOR HEARING

Vernie Lewis Case Will Be Called May 24—Myrtle Gibbons Case on May 17.

The indictment against Wesley Mitchell for murder in the shooting of Deputy Sheriff Pete Feiler on election day were nolled in the call of the criminal docket in the Circuit Court Wednesday morning on motion of Pros ecuting Attorney R. A. Werneke. This action applies to the original indictment returned against Mitchell and the later indictment which was returned after a plea in abatement had been filed against the original one. In movJng to nolle the indictment Prosecutor Werneke said that when the indictment was returned the evidence justified the state in believing a conviction could be secured, but later further knowledge had come to him v/hich convinced him that it would be impossibi to convict Mitchell. He therefore moved to nolle both indictments, and the record was made up to that effect.

Murder Cases Set.

A number of murder cases were set for trial, among them that of Mrs. Myrtle Gibbons, who shot Elroy B. Smith in the Orpheum theatre nearly a year ago. The case was fixed for May 17, and the clerk was instructed to notify the attorneys' for Mrs. Gibbons that it would positively be tried on that date. It has been postponed several times after being set for trial, and the prosecutor is determined it shall be heard at the present term of court.

The case of James Caldwell, indicted for the shooting of John G. McLaughlin at Fonta.net last November was set for trial June 14. Francis Mike Murphy, indicted for the killing of Cary Guhl, had his case set for trial on June 24, while that against Vernie Alfonso Lewis for the murder of four members of the Balding family was set for May 24. When this case was set for trial Prosecutor Werneke asked Attorney A. R. Owens, who with A. A. Beecher is to defend Lewis, whether they proposed to take a change of venue from the county, and Owens replied that he was unable to tell at the present time. Lewis will probably be arraigned on Saturday or Monday. These are the only murder cases on the docket of the criminal court at the present time, with the exception of the indictments against Demetro John, the Brazilian gypsy, for the shooting of three members of his party at West Terre Haute a year ago. They were passed in callIng the docket, as the case against him venued for trial to Parke county Is to come up there on May 31.

front, making a total of 434 for the campaign. Prior to the meeting the two high schools engaged in a yell contest which lasted for about half an hour and during which a number of clever yells were given. The Garfield students made a distinct hit with their parody on "It's a Long Way to Tipperary," entitled "It's a Long Way to Tabernacle." "I have spoken to a number of high school people and in fact have a 'high school' night wherever I go, but I must say this is one of the liveliest bunches of high school students which ever has been before me," said Rev. Lyon. "I thought to myself while sitting here and listening to your yells and songs 'There's the power that's going to move old Terre Haute onward and upward. This is indeed the age of young people.

Choosing Life Work.

"Choose as your life work, my young friends, that which you like to do. Choose that which you can do most for yourself, for others and for God. I'm glad I am able to preach the gospel. I wouldn't trade jobs with the emperor of Germany, the king of England or the czar of Russia. I'd rather preach the gospel than be the emperor of the biggest empire in the world. "Young man, choose as your life partner a girl who is a good cook. If we had more good cooks in this country we wouldn't have so many divorces. Young woman, you see that the young man you marry is clean morally in his private life before you marry him. If you select for your husband one of those young fellows who spends his time playing poker or shoving the billiard balls around, you will be manicuring your finger nails on a wash board to support your family. No sensible young man ever went to a ball room to get a wife and no sensible young woman ever went there to get a husband."

Dr. Lyon's talk Tuesday evening was taken from Deuteronomy XXX: 19—"I Have Set Before You Life and Death, Blessings and Cursings, Therefore Choose Life." He said: "The greatest, faculty in the human

Wind Wagon Latest to Join the Craze for Speed

UWAI.T Iv.VDKL READY KOH A SPIN IN HIS MKW WIND "WAGON.

Kwalt Kadel, local auto and motorboat builder, has blossomed out with a new speed freak. He calls it a wind wagon, and the vehicle is driven along by a propeller on the rear, operated by a, gasoline engine. The new s-poeR freak has attracted a lot of attention on the streets during the past few days.

mind is the power of choice. This it is that marks the difference between man and animal—between man and a machine. When God created the world He gave to man the greatest faculty which was possible for Deity to bestow upon humanity, the power of deciding for himself of making or marring his own eternal destiny. The human activities wait upon the exercises of this faculty of choice. You cannot buy a spool of thread or a one thousand acre farm—you can engage in no business, commercial, industrial, social, political, or even matrimonial, without first deciding to do so. Character is the sum total of our choice up to date. No matter how great may be the other faculties of the mind yet if there is lacking this quality of decision the life must be weak and impotent.

Indecision Causes Failure. "Indecision, which produces failure in every other department of life, is just as disastrous .in religion. Much depends upon the exercising of this faculty of choice in education. Aim to acquire "just as much learning as you can. You never will know too much. "Choose as your life work that for which you are fitted by your natural talents. Do not spoil a good blacksmith to make a poor lawyer. Choose for your life work, that, the consideration of which, gives you pleasure. You can do best what yovi like to do. Power, electrical or intellectual, travpls over lines of least resistance. But above all, choose as your life work that in which you can do the most for yourself, for others and for God. And right here let me say a word to you young people about the opportunities today along the lines of definite Christian work. The demands for workers in the ministry and in the mission fields, in the young men's and young women's christian association service, are almost unlimited. Other vocations are being filled to overflowing, but in religious work the supply is not eiual to the demand. If God calls you into the christian ministry or to the mission fields, rejoice in that nonor. 1 would not trade places with the pres ident of the United States or the king of England. Dr. Theodore Cuyler of Brooklyn, well said, 'It is a long way from the pulpit to the highest earthly throne.' "The social choice is also of muc importance. Everyone of us is influenced more largely than we think by the kind of company we keep. If I know who your boon companions are. if I do not know what you are today. I will know what you are going to be tomorrow. One of the reasons why many young people make no progress in the christian life, is because they hold on to evil associates."

TERRE HAUTE FAMOUS? WELL USTETH TO THIS

Kansas City, Kas., So Putrid "It Will Make Terre Haute Look Like Sunday School Town."

TOPEKA Kas.* May 5.—"Kansas City, Kas., may make Terre Haute look like a Sunday school town," said Gov. Capper today, after he had announced that he would conduct an in vestigation of recent elections held in Kansas City.

The governor recently asked for the resignation of Henry T. Zimmer, elec tion commissioner of Kansas City, Kas., and announced his intention of Investigating conditions in that city after Zimmer today refused to resign.

Gov. Capper said the investigation promised to involve men prominent in the affairs of both the republican and democratic parties. It was announced that more than forty complaints had been filed with the governor.

City Officials Demand Quiz. KANSAS CITY, Mo., May 5.—"We not only welcome an investigation, but, in view of the charges made by the governor, we demand one," was the statement today of several Kansas City, Kas., officials, including Mayor C.

case as trivial and as not sustained by the evidence. He declared that if there had been any violation of the laws of the state or the ordinances of the city it had been on the part of the officials who testified against the mayor, and said there was a remedy for their punishment. He said it had not been shown in any instance that the mayor, as mayor, had failed to perform his duties and that if the other officials had violated the laws in doing the things they asserted the mayor had told them to do, they did so at their own risk. He pictured the mayor as an innocent man, who had been charged with violations of the law in a manner contrary to law. He insisted that tho proceedings should have been held under another statute, by bringing charges before the grand jury and their trial by jury, which would have given an appeal to the supreme court.

In his reply Judge Batt ridiculed the arguments advanced by Slinkard, whom he charged as being "an alien," who had "whipsawed the truth, distorted the facts and juggled the law" in his appearance in the case. He said that from the views of Slinkard everybody in the case should be punished but Roberts and wondered what punishment he would inflict on the court for having the temerity to sit in the case. He talked until the bailiff rapped as a signal that his time was up and then closed with an appeal to the court to make a decision according to the law and the evidence that had been offered in the case.

Man Caught With Two Razors Receives Heavy Fine. Patrolman Harry Clancy late Tuesday afternoon arrested Frank Davidson and Harry Walker at Nick Burson's saloon, Fifteenth and Ash streets, and sent Davidson to jail, charged with carrying concealed weapons, two razors being taken from him, and Walker was charged with intoxication. In City Court Wednesday morning Davidson, who had just completed a jail sentence of 70 days and promised to leave the city, was fined $500 and costs to be served on the penal farm. Walker drew $5 and costs, which was suspended on condition that he leave the city at once.
