Stanley M. Timber lake was a visitor at the city hall for more than an hour today. He was wearing one of thoee aray-checkad suits that created go much admiration among the jurymen who acquitted Mayor Bell on the charge of conspiring to commit election frauda Mr. Timbcrlake w ta In a very cheekul mood —much more cheerful than he was when he learned he, was going to have to serve on the Bell jury against his will. “There goes Timberlake.” whispered some of tne city employes as they saw Mm enter the building. They watched Mm step Into the elevator and ask to be let oft at the third floor. Oh, No, Nothing Was Wrong. “Something's gone wrong with that Burdsal parkway, I bet you,” conjectured some of the innocent members of the city 111 machine. ‘T bet they'll give him the ry devil, for they say he is a Repub-

But Mr. Timberlake grot off the elevator at the third floor, and walked Into the office of Mayor Bell's board of park commissioners Just as if he were nolp afraid at all. If ary one in there intend"ed to give Mr. Timberlake "the devil" he did not sewn to know it. If he knew it,

he did not seem to be afraid.

Leading Churchmen of World Are On the Program for the Four

. Days' Session.

Under the team leadership of W. E. Doughty, of New York city, eighteen prominent men are coming to Indiana^ polls next month to speak before the Indiana Laymen's Missionary convention, which will be held at the First Baptist church. Meridian and Vermont streets, February 27 , 28 and 29 and March 1. The campaign to interest the men of the country in home and foreign missions is under the direction of Frank B. Bachelor, Interstate secretary of the Laymen’s Missionary movement. The plan of the movement is not to send out missionaries or to administer missionary funds, but to co-operate in the enlargment of the missionary work carried on by the various churches through their own regular agencies. Campaigns of a similar nature are being conducted in different parts of the country. Delegates are expected to attend the convention from practically every church in the state. The list of speakers includes the Rev.

Why Not Good Humor?

A few minutes before noon both Timberlake and Hayne walked from the room. They were In a good humor. Mr. Lowry said that Mr. Hayne and Mr. Timberlake were figuring on "some extras” that may be ordered on the Burdsal parkway. Mr. Lowry was not sure just what the "extras” would be because the little matter had not been decided definitely. It is understood that the board when "he" meets tomorrow will take some action on

Sir Edward Grey Gains PaHia- - ment Support in Trade Controversy.

BLOCKADE NOT FAVORED

Allies Doing Best to Respect Rights of Neutrals and Will Consider Any Plan, He Says.

LONDON. January 27—The result of the anxiously awaited debate in the house of commons on the blockade questi<yi is that the British government adheres to its existing policy. A resolution introduced by Arthur Shirley Benn, Unionist member for Plymouth, that the entire over-oceanic traffic with Germany should be prevented by a blockade, was talked out and the subject dropped, thus leaving the posiUon exactlyas before the debate, except that parliament seemed more converted to the government policy. Interesting figures published by the war department partly demolished the elaborate structure raised by the newspapers and Sir Edward Grey’s effective speech late yesterday appeared to finish the work thus begun. Nine-Tentha for Him. After the foreign secretary had spoken. Commander Bellairs said he had anticipated that nine-tenths of the house would be against Sir Edward Grey, but since his speech he had to admit ninetenths were with him. In fact, after the foreign secretary sat down, the house gradually emptied, and at one time during the debate only a half dosen members were present. At the opening of the debate the house was crowded, business men being very conspicuous, and the galleries also were filled, notable visitors being the American ambassador, tho Swedish and Danish ministers, Lore. Fisher and Lord Stamfordham, private secretary to the king. Sir Edward Grey said with regard to neutrals the government was prepared to examine any alternative policy if, while it was more pleasing to neutrals, the government was convinced It was equally effective with the existing method. The government, he said, was going to reply to the last American note after consulting with the French government. Hereafter French warships will assist British vessels In blockade duties in both the English channsl and the North sea. participating In the examination of mails and cargoes. In the future France will be consulted on all questions concerning the blockade. Joint AngloFrench replies will be made to any protests on the subject. * Allies Need Supplies.

economic pressure Oh Germany must be devised, even though neutral countries should suffer. The Daily Graphic, which heretofore has occupied a neutral position in the blockade controversy, is not at all satisfied with Sir Edward Grey's attitude. "Sir Edward Grey's speech," says this newspaper today, "will be read with the gravest disappointment The country had hoped the government was preparing for a new departure in the treatment of enemy trade. All we learn is that the foreign office is pleased with what it already has done and does not propose to do anything more. Sir Edward Grey acts as if the maintenance of neutral trading is more important than the ending of the war." Thinks Decision Disappointing. The Times shys the government's decision not to establish a regular blockade “will be a disappointment to our friends in America, and to President Wilson’s government.” “All these official statements as to the

Neither he or Lord Lansdowne is satisfied. Both tell us they are doing their best. What the country demands is that the supply of food materials shall be cut. off from the Germans.

by ministers is not a good sign. "Wars are not won by men whose

"Sir Edward Grey,” it says, "completed the demolition of the mare's nest and destroyed the mischievous and disgraceful legend that the foreign office was hampering the navy’s work. The recent malicious attacks on the foreign office represent a policy of fouling our own nest, which will Coat us very dear if It is persisted In." The Daily News says in a similar vein: "Sir Edward Grey’s reply to his attackers was final and crushing. The latter part of his speech took the form of a great and impressive address to the neutral world, justifying our blockade by the laws of war and precedents pastmost of all precedents established by the

United States.

Father Frank*About Hit Son in Juvenile Court. The father of a fourteen-year-old boy who was before Judge Frank J. Lahr, in juvenile court, today, for entering a garage in West Michigan street and stealing a coat and a pair of gloves, frankly told the court that he had given the bov too much latitude. The father said he had worked since he was nine years old. He said the pleasures of the average - boy’s life were denied him, and he had wished that his boy might have more freedom. As the result of an overindulgence of the boy the father said he now saw where he had made a mistake. The boy has run away from home three times and has been In juvenile court with another boy In the neighborhood on several charges. Judge Lahr talked to the father about plana for the boy’s future. The court continued the case for one week, to see how the boy t^ould behave during that time. WARRANT FOR GIRL’S ARREST W. E. Carlin Accuse* Grace Granger of Issuing Fraudulent Check.

•We are applying the doctrine of continuous voyage.” Sir Edward Grey said. “We quite agree that we want common action •with our allies and that is what we had with France when the order-ih-

council was issued.

“We are going to answer the last

United States note, but in the first Instance in consultation with the French government. That consultation is now taking place and consultations with other allies who are concerned in the carrying out of our policy may follow.

Would Consider Other Plans. “With regard to neutrals, the govern-

ment is perfectly ready to examine any other method of carrying out our declared policy of stopping enemy trade, than the one now adopted, which might be more convenient and more agreeable

>ractice. so long as It was effective, would say to neutrals that we can

not abandon our rights of interference with enemy trade and can not exercise that right without considerable inconvenience to their trade. They must answer the one main question: ’Do they admit our right to apply to the full the principles applied by the- American government in the civil war according to the order of conditions and to do our best to prevent trade reaching the enemy

through neutrals?’

“If they answer 'Yes,’ as they are bound in fairness to do, then I would say, ’Let them do their best to make

it easy for us to distinguish.

“If they Answer that we are not entitled to prevent trade with the enemy and if the neutral countries take that line, it would be a departure from neutrality. I do not understand that they will take that line. It is quite true there were things in the last American note which, if conceded, would have rendered It impossible for Great Britain to prevent goods, even if contraband, going wholesale to the enemy, but I do not understand that this is the attitude of the United States or any other government.”

Difficulties Explained.

The secretary insisted on the importance of retaining the good will of neutrals in order to facilitate obtaining supplies of munitions and other products for the allies, declaring that Great Britain had no right, wrongfully to Interfere with neutrals obtaining necessary sup-

plies for themselves.

“You have no right to make neutrals

suffer,” he declared.

He contended that it would be impossible to establish an effective line ofblockade and forbid all ships to go

through, adding:

“Neither could we put every cargo in prise court. If we had done that, the war might possibly have been over by now only the whole world would have been against us, and we^nd our allies would have collapsed under ,the general resentment of the whole world. Therefore if such lines are established, we must allow ships for neutral ports with bona fide neutral cargoes to go through. “What I understood is meant when you sav ’blockade’ is that you are going to discriminate, and that is exactly what is

now being done.”

Refers to United States Notes. The secretary repudiated the idea that a» technical, blockade would he more palatable to neutral countries, and said: “If anybody wishes to realise the Justification of our present policy, he has only to read the correspondence with the United States. If he wished to read the ohlections taken to It—objections which anv sort policy might meet with, he can read the American notes to Great Britain especially the last one, which has not yet been received.” Sir Edward Grey, in scathing terms contrasted Germany's attitude in regard to neutrals with the British attitude, and

said:

“If ever there was a war in which we and our allies could employ recognised belligerent rights to their utmost extent, it was this war. What would have been said by neutrals if we had

done what Germany has done?”

The foreign secretary emphasised again what was the aim of the allies and concluded by declaring: “We shall see this

thing through to the end.” Opposition Does Not Give In.

The editorial comment on Sir Edward Grey’s speech varies widely. Newspapers which have been supporting the government. such as the Daily Telegraph and the Daily News are enthusiastic over the foreign minister’s "masterly vindication." but the Times, the Morning Post and the Daily Mail show no signs of relenting in their attacks, and repeat former assertions that the blockade has been Ineffective, that far too much leakage has been getting through to Germany and that means for tightening the

Judge Purvis and a Tipton County Jury to Try the Case—Question of Intent an Issue.

fBy VT. H. Blodgett, Staff Correspondent of The Indianapolis News] NOBLESVILLE. Ind., January 27.~The trial of George Bowen, former president of the Hamilton Trust Company, of this city, about a year ago, was called in the Hamilton circuit court today. Bowen is charged with embezslement and grand larceny, the amount named in the indictment being $3,700. The entire morning was taken up by motions, and pleas all on technical points where raised by the defense. One of these was a plea in abatement based on the decision of the supreme court in the proceedings agumst Frank Ellis, judge of the Delaware circuit court at Muncie. Judge Purvis gave the defense thirty minutes to prepare this plea, and almost two hours were taken in getting it up. The greater part of the afternoon was taken up in argument on the plea in abatement. Ihe fact that a Tipton county judge and a Tipton county Jury have been called to try the case in Hamilton county makes the trial out of the ordinary. Change of Venue From Judge. The defense first asked for a change of venue from the county and filed affidavits setting out that there was a strong prejudice against Bowen and also against the defense he would make, but there was nothing In the affidavit that revealed the plan of defense. Under the law it is optional with the judge whether a change of venue shall be granted in a criminal case. At the lest legislature the state machine gang tried to have enacted what was called the felons’ relief bill, which made It mandatory on the judge to grant a change of venue from the county when demanded by the defendant in a criminal case. This bill, however, was defeated. Counter affidavits setting forth that Bowen could have a fair trial in Hamilton county were filed and Judge Cloe refused the demand for a change of venue from the county. Tipton Men Chosen for Jurors. The defense then asked for a foreign jury—that is a Jury made up of citisens from an adjoining county—and Judge Cloe granted the request and ordered the jury commissioners of Tipton county to draw the names of twenty-five Tipton citizens, from which list a jury is to be selected for the trial in this county. In the event a jury can not be selected from the tw-en-ty-flve names submitted by the Tigton county jury commissioners, the sheriff of Hamilton county can go into Tipton county and summon the needed talesmen for jury service. The next move on the part of the defense was to ask for a change of venue from Judge Cloe, the presiding judge of the Hamilton circuit. It is mandatory on the court to grant the petition for a change of judge when asked for. Under the law the prosecuting attorney and the attorney for the defendant have the right to agree on a judge and the presiding judge must make the appointment agreed on. If, however, the defense and the state can not agree on a judge, then the presiding judge names five circuit judges or attorneys of good standing at the bar and the judge must be selected from that list of five, each side striking off two names, the one remaining to be the judge. In this instance, however, the state and the defense agreed on Judge Purvis, of the Tipton circuit court. Bowen’s trial is attracting great attention on aocoun- of the prominence of the defendant, and because of his activity in the political, commercial and social life of this community. There are so many indictments and legal entanglements growing out of the bank failures in this county that the trial has many specta-. tors, and most of them do not know the real charge against Bowen. Text of the Indictment. The indictment tells plainly what he is charged with, and is as follows: State of Indiana’vs. George Bowen: Indictment for grand larceny.

INDIANA PRODUCTS DAY IS SET FOR FEBRUARY 22 BY GOVERNOR

The following proclamation been issued by Samuel M. Ralston, Governor of Indiana, naming February 22, as Indiana Products day: "In this, our centennial year, it Is fitting that in every way possible attention be called to the varied development'of our commonwealth—to its present resources and unexplored possibilities. This is desirable, not only as an incentive to ultimate material advancement, but as a means of immediate impetus to the preparations being made, under the leadership of the Indiana historical commission, for a state-wide celebration. "Toward this end, the secretaries of the commercial clubs of Indiana, in recent session, inaugurated a most commendable movement. They, i,n conjunc-

tion with the commission, have set apart February 22 as a rallying point of centennial enthusiasm. It is proposed that on this date centennial banquets be held throughout the state at which nothing be served but products grown or manufactured in Indiana. Attention will thus be called in a striking manner to our material sources, to a better knowledge of which incentive will be given. This is an effective means whereby, in the after dinner programs, interest and enthusiasm may be aroused in our centennial pro-

gram.

"Now, therefore, I, Samuel M. Ralston, as Governor of the state of Indiana, wishing to express my appreciation and approval of this movement, do hereby proclaim February 22 as Indiana Products day. and urge its observance as above Indicated throughout thfe state.”

Dr. Osier says that if a physician knew all the varied forms of syphilis and tuberculosis he would have the fundamentals of medical diagnosis. Osier ought to have added typhoid fever to his list. For the control of the spread of typhoid the number of cases reported by physicians is not of much assistance, since these cases are only a fraction of the these cases are only a fraction of the actual number. Many of the unreported cases are called abdominal Influenza, acute or chronic gastro-enteritls. Intestinal bleeding, feverish neurasthenia and migraine. Mistakes in diagnosis of typhoid are especially apt to occure in epidemics due to water or milk. In many cities with a public water supply there sometimes occur epidemics of gastro-enteritis, followed in from ten to twenty davs by epidemics erf typhoid. In very few’ Instances has the cause of initial gastro-enteritis been recognized until cases of typhoid appeared. Many epidemics with thousands of cases of gastro-enteritis followed by hundreds of cases of ty phoid have been

reported. In every instance there was sewage pollution of the public water supply. Other epidemics of gastro-enteritis have been reported without subsequent cases of typhoid and in these, too, there was sewage contamination of the public water supply. This is not difficult to understand when we realize that acute gastro-enteritlc symptoms may be caused by the bacillus typhosus. B. paratyphosus B. and the B. dysenterica. all members of the colontyphoid group. In the German literature there are descriptions of many epidemics of gastroenteritis due to the ingestion of B. paratyphosus B. the so-called acuta gastro-enteritlc form of this disease. In cold weather bacillary dysentery appears in such a mild form that dysentery epidemics are called "winter diarrhea.’■ The cause of epidemics of gastro-enteritis in cities during the winter months should be recognized as due to typhoid, the source being the sewage pollution of the water. Every person in the district affected should be vaccinated against typhoid and competent engineers employed to find out how the sewage got into the city water.

and J. F. Neal and his son, Noel Neal. The defense is conducted by former Judge Ira Christian and his nephew, Flovd Christian, of Noblesville, and Jesse R. Coleman and George H. Clifford, former state senator of Tipton county. Objects to Special Prosecutors. The first step through a mass of technicalities taken in the trial, before the talesmen were examined for jury service, was a motion by Floyd Christian that the motion to quash the indictment, parsed on some months ago, be withdrawn. To this J. F. Neal, for the state, objected, and Judge Purvis overruled the motion made by Mr. Christian, who then offered to file a new motion to quash each count of the indictment, and the court refused

to accept the offer.

Mr. Christian then waived the arraignment of the defendant. The defendant did not plead .to the indictment. When the court had made that record, Mr. Christian announced that a plea in abatement would be filed as soon as the paper, could be drawn. Mr. Christian said the plea. In abatement would attack tne ap~ pointment of Neal & Neat and George Osborn as special prosecutors He said the supreme court yesterday, in deciding the J. Frank Mann case from Muncie. held that a prosecutor could not be set aside unless he was personally interested, as prosecutor Mann was, or the prosecutor had not attended court or looked after the duties of his office. The contention of Mr. Christian was that the defendant should be prosecuted by the regular prosecutor elected by the people and not by some one arbitrarily appointed by a court. . „ .... Judge Purvis ordered a recess for thirty minutes so the attorneys for the defense could prepare their plea in abatement.

Did He Intend to Steal?

This Is not what is known as "the big case" in the Hamilton county bank failures and the length of time it takes for trial depends on the ruling Judge Purvis will make In regard to the admission of certain evidence. The main point is the question of intent on the part of Bowen to defraud the trust company. Bowen drew a sight draft for 12.700 on the cashier of the Carmel bank, saying the cashier of the bank owed him that amount of money. The cashier of the Carmel bank refused to honor the draft, but Bowen took the money from the cash drawer of the Hamilton County Trust Company and carried in the cash drawer the refused draft as a cash item. Of course, if the defense is able to convince the jury that Bowen had no evil intent in

doing this he will be acquitted.

May Reveal “Blue Sky” Operation. Just how far the state can go In proving intent is for Judge Purvis to decide. If he rules that the state can go into the entire history of the deals that threw the Hamilton Trust Company into the hands of a receiver and caused hundreds of poor people in this and adjoining counties to lose all their savings, it will take weeks to try the case and there will be unfolded one of the most gigantic "blue sky” operations in the history of ^The^'big case," as it is called, is set for February 28. That is an indictment for conspiracy in which Bowen, Ed and Will Hinshaw and a number of others are charged with conspiracy to wreck the banking institutions at Cicero and other places ir. HamUton county. It is understood that the defense will take the same procedure in regard to changes of venue in the conspiracy cases as it has taken in this one. The trial of the conspiracy charge will lay bare a story of high finance that will cause the people of this

state to gasp.
