FOR

(QUEST IN ACGIDE1TAL DEATHS

An Important Point of Particular Loca

Interest Decided Yesterday by

Judge Hacker.

Hancock county is interested in the result of the appeal that may be made from a decision Friday by Judge Hacker of the Bartholomew circuit court. He decided that the county coroner should not hold am inquest where the victim is killed accidentally and there is no suspicion of foul play. When the cause of the death is known, the Decatur county Judge is of the opinion that no inquest should be held.

Where there is no inquest held there is necessarily no coroner's fees. It was for the collection of coroner's fees that the Greensburg suit was in stituted. In case the higher courts should uphold the 'Decatur county judge, there would be no end to the trouble which would result as cor oners for many years baek have been collecting fees on inquests in which the deaths were merely accidental.

Only a few days ago this same question arose in this county. A brakeman on the Pennsylvania railroad was hit by a train in the yards in this city and was taken to the- Bruner Sauitarium, where sturgeons were with him constantly until his death ten or twelve hour?- later. Dr. Bruner knew perfectly *eii arhat caused the man's death air mav" out. the proper certificate acc •. \QI/. There iwas absolutely no question in any man's min'l bnt that the man's death resulted from tin accident at Center street. Nevertheless th-. family of the deceased demanded a coroner's inquest two or three weeks later, and although Coroner Allen hesitated under the circumstances, an investigation of the law satisfied him that the demand should be acted upon, and the inquest was held, the verdict of course being that the man died from injuries sustained by the train. It could not have been any other verdict.

The inquest in this case was probably needed to strengthen a chain of evidence to establish a claim against the company, but the question arises as it did in the Bartholomew case, is the county under any obligations and is it required to go this expense in case of accidents.

The interpretation of the law here was that a coroner's inquest shall be held when the victim meets death by violence or casualty. The word casualty is defined by the law as accital death or death from causes unknown.

Judge Hacker decided that a coroner could not legally hold an inquest where death was due. only to casuality or accident and where crime is not suspected.

EACH COUNTY WILL I

County Superintendent Larrabee At­

tends Meeting of the Ninety-Two

Officials This Week.

County Superintendent Frank Larrabee has returned from the meeting of the superintendents at Indianapolis. Some radical changes were made at this session. For instance, each county in Indiana hereafter, will have its own examinations for entrance into the high schools from various township schools. In the past it has been the custom for a committee to draft a set of questions which applied to every county in the state. By a resolution of the County Superintendent's Association yesterday this plan was abolished, and each county was instructed to prepare its own questions. The former scheme was said to be unfair, as the courses and texts in the various counties differed considerably.

Another change made by the session was hi connection with the reading work of the eighth grade. Aside from the five prescribed reading books each school has ordinarily done other work in addition, choosing whatever it pleased. This made it difficult, the superintendents say, for any student removing from one county to another to continue his work. On this account the «tate superintendent was instructed to select nine standard books which shall be for the use of all schools in the state. From these the selection of reading will be made hereafter.

GREENFIELD REPUBLICAN, THURSDAY, JUNE 23, 1910.

Topics of the Day

John Morrison, Greenfield's well known blind citizen who conducts the Forget Store in the north part of town, in passing a group of men today, caused one of them who had always known the family to remark that John's father, Hugh Morrison, was at the time of his death, one of the foremost men of the southern part of this county and the community about Morristown. "Hugh Morrison," the gentleman remarked, "was a highly educated man and distinguished particularly in Masonic circles, ta the Blue Lodge and Chapter. For twenty successive years he was secretary of the Morristown Lodge of Masons and in that time he never missed a lodge meeting, although he lived several years of the times three miles from the lodge room."

Although "Blind Johnnie" can not see, he is just the same one of the best informed men in Greenfield on the affairs of the day.

It must be a hotter day than this when a good old time story can not be got from Uncle Lemuel Gooding. The Daily Reporter had occassion to go to him for some information and in the conversation that ensued mention was made of the Old Semnary that stood in Pennsylvania street at the railroad. It was the home of Capt. Reuben A. Riley and sometime after his death was destroyed by fire Pennsylvania street formerly made a a jog to the west at the railroad and passed along the brick building occcupied by J, W. Carter. But the story ofUnele Lem's: "The first school in the old seminary," he said, "was a subscription school. The teacher boarded at our tavern and mother agreed to sign me with the understanding that I should be permitted to leave school and go home the moment she would ring the tavern bell, it being necessary for me to care for an arriving guest. One day three of us boys refused to do the bidding of the teacher and we we were billed for thrashing. The other two boys got theirs and my turn came. I walked out to receive the beech goods, but just then the tavern bell was heard—and the agreement was I should go hom^. I missed that lickin'."

Mrs. Albert Catt, who has been

seriously sick, is some better. David Bundy and wife visited Jesse Slifer and family at New Castle Saturday.

Howard, little son of Jesse McKown, has been very seriously sick. Andy Watson and family, Will Bell and family, Arthur Thomas and family and Vera Kinder were entertained at dinner at the home of Bert Jackson Sunday.

STONES PLACED IF DATA IS FURNISHED

Embarrassing Conditions That Arise

Over Veteran's Grave Every

Memorial Day.

Complaint often times arises just after Decoration day that all the graves of soldiers have not been decorated. The failure to do so grieves the relatives who feel as if their friends have been neglected. In discussing this matter today an old soldier said that the relatives of deceased soldiers were more responsible for such failures than than anyone else. It is impossible for the old comrades to remember where all the soldiers have been buried. The government recognizes this fact and has provided markers for the graves of all soldiers. All that is necessary is to supply the name of the deceased soldier the company and regiment or branch of the service to which he belonged State in which he was enlisted date of death and cemetery where buried.

These facts will be placed on the marker at the government's expense, and the markers will be not only shipped, but the expense of the dray delivering them will be paid. Everything is absolutely free to the relatives except the placing of the stone. That is left to the relatives. These facts clearly disclose that if any soldier's grave is unmarked, it is the fault of friends and not the fault of old comrades, nor the public. The government has done its part. It is impossible for its representatives to locate the graves.

The surviving soldiers are getting tired of the complaints of relatives who fail to supply the necessary data. The soldiers and the public will glad-ly-decorate all soldiers' graves if they can be found, and they are anxious that the graves be marked for they realize that the time is coming when the location of the graves will be impossible. The markers are nice and permanent and there is -no excuse for failure to have the graves marked and decorated if the relatives and friends will do their duty.

An order will be sent for markers the last of June. All orders sent to Wm. G. Smith or the G. A. R. Post in this city by June25th will be supplied They will secure stones for any of the deceased soldiers buried in Hancock county.
