LIVE CHILD ON DUMP

Continued From Page One.

lowing morning the mother of the child said: 'If this child cannot live how can we dispose of it?' He then said: 'I will dispose of it' And without any examination at all carried it to his automobile and went away with it."

Coroner's Official Report. 5The official finding of the coigmer reads In part as follows: "I therefore find, according to the evidence obtained under oath, and so declare the jhfant came to his death from criminal neglect of his attending physician, Dr. Frederick Krueger, in not tying the umbilical cord by which failure it slowly bled to death

Its death was further hastened by .'Perry was arrested June 29 by Patrol

lack of usual attention after birth. "From concussion blows when thrown, yet alive, some fifty feet into a dump pile as a further means of disposing of it. "On being compelled to return the living child to its parents not one word was said that it was alive and no advice as to its further care given."

Referring to the defense, Dr. Krueger is reported to have made at the time he admitted disposing of the baby, the coroner says that "we recognize there is much agitation in certain quarters for the destruction of such malformed human 'beings. It would seem there might be room for lcniency, but such must be determined by the courts. "I, however, see no reason except for the most severe arraignment from the public and especially from the medieal profession, of which he was always an honored member, for such an attempted disposal of a human child."

The report said the eoroner emild find no evidence to "implicate criminally the family members.J* He censored them, however, for "a tremendous lack of Interest to permit the child to be taken away without knowledge as to how it was to be disposed of. "However," the report adds, "they trusted to the advice of the physician,' especially when he told them he had been a health officer."

hcurs in order to fulfill a vaudeville engagement, offered him in case he was the winner. Willard had originally planned to go to New York to discuss certain business plans immediately after the bout but what effect the upset will have upon this arrangement could not be learned early today. In this connection it can be said that so confident was Willard that he would defeat Dempsey that he had completed preliminary plans to organize a moving picture company and star in a series of film dramas in which his ring prowess would be of great value. The blows of his more youthful opponent are belleyed to have shattered this scheme, as they did the championship claims, of the conqueror of Jack Johnson.

Derrtpsey has no immediate idea of re-entering the ring frtr there is no wcrthy opponent in sight at this time. It is likely that he will endeavor to turn his newly gained ring laurels into comVnercial value. It is known, however, that he is ready to defend the championship at any time and it is quite likely that a hunt will be started to find a suitable and drawing antagonist within a few months^ Tex Rickard, promoter of yesterday's battle, when approached on this matter denied that he had any intention of undertaking such a v«ature »t this time. He said: "Dempsey is sure to make a popular champion, and will in time be called upon to defend his title, but there is no one in sight at present to give him battle. While he is a wonderfully built athlete, Dempsey is not bigger than scores of other men throughout the country and Europe, and for that reason will be easier to match than Willard was. The new contenders must first be developed, however, and this will take time. Unless Carpentier, of France, or Beckett, of England, Bhow within the next few months that the war has not set back their boxing ability, we must wait for a new opponent td'battle his way to a position where he can demand a meeting with the new champion.**

Toledo Back to Normal.

Toledo today began to resume her normal aspect. No story of the battle would be complete without a reference to the excellent manner in which the city housed and transported the throngs. Except at the very height of the rush there was accommodation and refreshment for every one, and the 40,000 spectators who traveled to the arena were handled with perfect safety and ease.

A large staff of accountants began work early this morning footing up the tickets and financial totals of the match, and while Promoter Rickard could only guess at the attendance and gross gate receipts at that hour, he stated that he hoped to give out a complete statement of all the receipts and expenses before nightfall.

SOLDIER IN HOSPITAL,

Albert Cornwell of Company A, 113th engineers, wrho was unable to return home on account of a bad case of diptheria, is confined in a hospital in New Jersey. Just as soon as he Is able he will be transferred to a hospital at Fort Benjamin Harrison.

The funeral of Mrs. Mary E. Egnew, who diefl Thursday afternoon, will be held at -1:30 o'clock Sunday afternoon at the residence, 1627 Ohio street, with continued services at the First United Brethren church. Burial will be in Highland Lawn cemetery.

CLAIMS HE RAK WAR

the supreme court of the United States, is regarded as the logical choice of the American government, Parliamentary gossip holds that the farmer emperor certainly should not be given a privile ged position in court but should be put in the dock like aay other man charged with a crime. i Trial This Autumn*-

The trial is looked for this autumn if it occurs and steps for the kaiser's extradition are expected to be taken soon, if not already begun. Dutch newspapers have discussed Count Hohenzollern's extradition ever since he tcok refuge in Holland and the general sontiment appears to be that it would be a humiliation for Holland to surrender the former monarch at the demand of the powers which demand would be untenable under the law s.'nce the kaiser's case does not come under extradition treaties and the charge of a "supreme offense against international morality and the sanctity of treaties" is not covered by existing laws.

The Nieue Rotterdamsche' Courant in an article which is reputed to have been inspired recently, said tnat. the Dutch government might be prepared to make the necessary changes in Its constitutional law on being given certain guarantees as to the constitution of the court and the charter of the trial. The guarantee specified by the newspaper were that impartial judges who would not be of accusing nationalities would preside an! that the former emperor might Joe given the right to produce all available evidence in his defense.

No Legal Status In Holland, The Handelsbladt, of Amsterdam, said recently regarding the former emperor and crown prince: "Both of them have been a!frnitted to this country as a matter of fact, not as a matter ofr2ight, for no authorization to travel or reside in Holland has been issued to them in accordance with the law of 1849 relating to foreigners, nor are they interned as dangerous foreigners under the temporary law of 1898, which requires that a foreigner to be interned must be deemed dangerous to public order, safety, health or morality."

The newspaper points out that foreigners not in possession of an authorization to travel or reside here may be put over the frontier from which they came.

Legal opinion here Is that Holland's action in assigning residences to William Hohenzollern and his son constituted permission for them to reside in Holland. The prospect of having the kaiser in England as state prisoner has given the publio a great topic of discussion.

'WARE, HOME BREWERS..

Uncle Sam Takes a Hand III New Industry. Attention officially is %eing called to the schedule of penalties for various violations of the Internal revenue (not prohibition) law, given below, and that they make It exceedingly dangerous for any citizen to manufacture liquor after July 1, even if thf eaforcenaept bill should not pass:

For failure to register stiil, $500 penalty fine of between $100 and $1,000 and imprisonment of between one month and two years for making liquor in a community where It is prohibited by local or state laws, tax of $1,000 for violating war time prohibition $1,000 fine or one year's imprisonment or both for making whisky mash or a beer, fine of between $500 and $5,000 and imprisonment of between six months and three years. Beer making aside from the contention now in the courts involving a 2% per cent product comes within the same prohibitions.

the fields of mist that shrouded the Nova Scotia coast, was striving to guide her course by fitful wireless communication with a score of stations and warships along the North Atlantic littoral. The eager listeners on shore could hear her electric signals, but British admiralty officials and American army aviation officers agreed that the wire apparatus of the dirigible mugt have been injured, for while they could hear her signals they were apparently unable to communicate with her.

The last definite word of the position of the airship was a wireless saying that she was between Halifax and Canso and that "all Is well.

At that time it was 84 hours since the air craft had soared over Edinburgh and started on her western voyage. In the interval she had traveled an e»timated distance of 2,350 miles, but this today m-obably would be materially increased on account of losing her course through fog.

Man Accused In Bunco Game Unable to Explain, i ,Wt Sufficient evidence of 4 htrnco g&Tfttb to warrant Clyde Lucas being bound over to the grand jury came «ut in City Court Saturday morning when Lucas was tried on a charge of grand larceny, arising from proceedings occurring in February in which Irsi Tobey of Riley came out pf the de£^ with some $39 less In cash,

On the stand Tobey told

over night at a local hotel and, owing to crowded conditions, was forced to sleep with another man. Lucas, he said, came around and told how wicked the other man was and suggested that It would be best to let Lucas keep his money for him over night, The next morning the custodian and the funds were both missing.

Lucas entered a general denial to everything but seeing Tobey that night and ventured the information that he could tell why Tobey was mad at him, but no one was Interested. On crossexamination he admitted having been found guilty on a charge of larceny previously when selling an overcoat which did not belong to him.

And, he said, therd is someone around Terre Haute to whom he owes seven dollars, change from a ten-dollar bill after purchasing a pint of whisky for the unknown, whom he could not find when he returned to the trysting place. Bond was set at $500 after Lu^as Was bound over to the grand jury./

Described by William C. Freeman. Associated with Paul Block, Inc., New York, Chicago, Detroit* Boston. e.*

TJie people of Columbus are to be congratulated that among their number, there are so man/ .wonderful young men and women who have given freely of their time and talents to making the GREAT PAGEANT .shown ia the Coliseum: nightly a great success. In my time have seen ai. great many remarkable stage effects, but the magnificant colorings displayed during the Pageant show, and the natural acting of the participants, surpasses anything I have seen. D. \V. GRIFFITH, THAT GREAT MOTION PICTURE PRODUCER, shares this view with me, or rather, I .share his view of it, because, unquestionably, he is a better judge than I, for he personally reviewed it. Yet I like what I like and can see with two perfectly good eyes what I like. I like this Great Pageant Show immensely, and so will you. The people of Ohio,'and of everywhere, for that 1.latter, are to be congratulated that there are always talented and unselfish volunteers among their number WILLING TO DO ANY

I N O E V E Y I N O U A GREAT CAUSE OVER THE TOP. The local talent of CoTnmlVrnr, the capital of Ohio, IS OK FAT. It has produced a magnificent Papeant. You must see the costumes and the stage color effects^ which cost many thousands of dollars. These alone are worth traveling a thousand miles to see. You WiU see at this CENTENARY" CELEBRATION COL.UMRUS what has been accomplished by the splendid manhood and womanhood of America In educating: and training the minds of peoples of other countries to whom have been denied the blessings WO enjoy in such abundance. You will see evidence of th« development of character and Industry—and what can be done when FAITH AND HIGH RESOLVE get a foothold in the hearts and brains of human beings that were hopeless and helpless before tney were touched by human kindness and sympathy, and assisted to selfrespect. WORK OF THIS KIND MADE THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION COLUMBUS POSSIBLE. Personally, I think it was an inspiration of God, carried out in magnificent detail by a group of men and women who are His devout followers. Otherwise, I don't believe any group of human minds—brilliant though they may be in Imagination and initiative— rould have planned such a helpful, inspiring a! thrilling exposition. want you to feel as I do about this CENTENARY CELEBRATION COLUMBUS. When you see It, an I hope you will, you will get its lesson deep into your mind and heart as 1 have. The more I see of It, the more I want to see. When you enter the State Fair Grounds. Columbus—one of the beautv spots in the preat Ptate of Ohio—you Willie immediately impressed with tne crowds and the music and the lausrhter, and the happiness of everybody.
