DECLARES COAL FAMINE LOOMS '£g£&ach Telegraphs Interstate Commerce Body. A coal famine threatens the Indus-, trial and educational life of Indiana, Jesse Eschbach, chairman of the State's 'new coal commission, warned the Interstate Commerce Commission at Washington today. The coal commission and the Public Service Commission Joined In a telegraphic appeal for modification of the Federal body’s recent order prohibiting the routing of coal cars to wagon mines. The message followed a meeting of the Ohio. Michigan and Indiana State authorities Ut Columbus recently, at which It was agreed the Interstate Commerce Commission should modify Its priority orders if a coal shortage is to be averted in the middle west. “Municipal light, water and gas plants and ’’public schools without coal In Indiana,” the telegram said. • “Some municipalities in darkness, ana soon without fire protection. Some schools must soon close. If railroads may set cars at wagon mines on condition loaded within twenty-four hours, situation would be much relieved. If recession or modification of your order as to wagon mines possible In this emergency measure please wire Indiana railroads and us.” Eschbach sent the message In behalf of the two bodies after receiving complaints from owners of wagon mines that cars which could bare been loaden on .h 9 same day were not set for the mines and therefore there were twenty-four to fortyeight hours delay In loading. When a car is set at the proper switch it is never more than twenty-four hours before it is loaded, the operators informed the state authorises. This Is the first act of the coal commission actively to take charge of the fuel industry In Indiana, except for the calling of meetings of coal operators and 1 dealers to gather data to be used as a basis for the fixing of coal prices in tha State. , The commission was instituted by the recent special legislature as an experiment to bring down the cost of coal to the ulnmate consumer and to avert a threatened severe shortage during the 'winter.

Keith's theater released by the Society for Visual Education. Films of geography, history, dvloa and health and hygiene were includel In the program. RED DEFI IS SEEN AS BLAST MOTIVE (Continued From Page One.) i cations were those of ft criminal conspiracy. Chie' Flynn expressed the belief that the explosion was not aimed directly at Morgan & Cos. but as a demonstration against the heart of the financial district. Interest in Edward Fischer, former New York tennis expert, now in a lunatic asylum in Canada, and on whom the ; Investigators focused their attention yesterday, was lessened considerably over night. Chief Flynn said. “I do not attach much importance to Fiooher's arrest,” Flynn stated. “I believe he is a ‘nut’ who happened to hit It off right. "However, he will, of course, be investigated.” The authorities believe Fischer’s premonition was merely a weird conlncldence. Next to the horseshoes, the “mystery wagon," as reconstructed from its debris, Is looked on as the most important clew. Every one of the hundred-odd places in New York where wagons of its kind can be rented was visited by agents today and the owners put under grilling examinations in an effort to trace the driver. It was learned for the first time today that a warning similar to that sent to the French high commission was received by Morgan & Cos. the day before the disaster. It bore a Buffalo postmark and conveyed the warning: “To all to stay away from Wall street Thursday between 2 and 3 o’clock.” Deducing his conclusions from the discovery of the warning circulars of the "American Anarchist fighters.” Chief Flynu outlined his theory today ar follows: "The plotters probably left the wagon with the horse attached in Wail street, having set the timing device a few minutes ahead. "They didn't want to take a chance on mailing the circulars, nor did they want to throw them in the street. “So they Just dropped them, without postage or wrapper, in the nearby mail box on their way from the scene of the crime. “Three minutes later their bomb had exploded.” The system of guarding the financial district, public buildings and home* ot wealthy citizens who might be “marked” by terrorists !s being intensified steadily. * The whole Wall street area swarms with Department of Justice agents, police and plainclothes men. Special surveillance also baa been arranged for the Standard Oil Company plant at Bayonne, N. J. The American Legion, several of whose members were among , the victims of Thursday's blast, is raising a fund to aid the authorities in tracking the perpetrators of the crime. Fifty-eight victims of the explosion still were in hospitals early today. Eight of those who were killed served with the American expeditionary force in France.
FISCHER IS BEING HELD IN JAIL HAMILTON, Ontario, Sept IS Edward F. Fischer of New York, who wrote several letters warning friend* of Thursday's bomb explosion in Wall street, New York City, was held in Jail .here today, pending deportation to the United States or commitment to the provincial insane a v ylum. The only charge against Fischer is Insanity, preferred by Fope. his brother In-law. Pope left last night after a conference with special agents of the Department of Justice and Charles Allen, representing the Burns agency ‘NOTHING TO SAY — MORGAN* LONDON, Sept. 18.—“ Nothing to say. Morgan.” J. Pierpont Morgan, in Scotland, sent this laconic message in response to inquiries as to whether he had any comment to make on the , explosion that wrecked his office building in New Y'ork. The banker in occupying an estate belonging to the Earl of Dalhousle. called Gannochy Lodge, near Brechin. Forfashlre County, Scotland. He is being closely guarded against Intrusion. PALMER TO RENEW FIGHT FOR LAWS WASHINGTON, Sept. 18. Attroney General Palmer, as a result of the Wall street explosion, will renew bis requests for drastic legislation to curb extremists, upon the next Congress, it was stated at tbe Department of Justice today. The Attorney General will seek to have Congress pass laws which will give the Department of Justice more freedom in curbing extremist activities and will declare that such catastrophes as the Wall street explosion are bound to recur until the government deals more sternly tilth extremists, according to officials of the department. The Attorney General will renew his fight to have full power of dealing with alien extremists placed in the hands of -the Department of Justice rather than in the Department of Labor. Increased appropriations -will be asked by the Attorney General in order that the force* of the department may be kept up to sufficient strength. TELLS OF HEARING BLAST PLOTTING CHICAGO, Sept. 18.—Herman Hoffman, a prisoner In the county Jail here who authorities declare is an acknowledged I. W. W., today told of bearing bomb plots discussed In three different places in New Y'ork. A Lyceum In Brooklyn, a restaurant in Greenwich village on Fourth street, and a “Temple” In New York City were loca-. tions named by Hoffman. Hoffman admitted that there was a great deal of talk at all three timgs about “Blowing up Morgan and Rockefeller.” CHICAGO POLICE GET /. W. W. EVIDENCE CHICAGO, Sept. 18.—Evidence seized in an I. W. W. raid in Chicago and believed by the local ‘bomb squad" to indicate that J. Pierpont Morgan and cither wealthy men had been marked for <K*th as far back as June of thii year is in tbe possession of the Chicago police department today. APPLIES FOR FISCHER DEPORTATION HAMILTON, Ontario. Sept. 18.—1m-mi-'raiion Inspector Sweeney of this city, today made application to the Deimrtment of Justice at Ottawa for deportation of Edward P.

WOULD EXECUTE CLASS OF INSANE Criminology Expert Gives Blow to Frequent Law Plea. That insane persons who commit major crimes and yet are aware of their acts, should be executed, was the statement of Dr. H. H. Goddard, director of the bureau of Juvenile research of Columbus, 0., speaking before the American Institute of Criminal Law and’ Criminology, at the Claypool Hotel, yesterday. Dr. Goddard said that frontier methods or law enforcement may have been harsh, but, he added, there is no doubt that the desired effect, respect for the law, was attained. People in those days feared to commit a crime because of the knowledge that the death penalty awaited them. At the fourth session of the meeting Col. Henry B. Chamberlain, chairman of the Chicago Crime Commission, spoke. He refuted statements of criminologists, that 80 per cent of the criminals, nor victims of criminal insanity, can be reformed, and referred to these people as dreamers. Colonel Chamberlain declared many of the leaders of crime have adopted murder and robbery as their profession, and that many of the criminals are following in the footsteps of their parents. 1 Officers of the institute were elected as follows: Robert If. Gault, Northwestern University and editor of the Journal of Criminology, national secretary; Dean John H. Wlgmore, Northwestern University; Amos W. Butler, Indianapolis; Herbert Harley, Chicago; Judge Edward Lindsey, Warren, Pa.; Stephen B. Gregory, Chicago, and Edwin It. Keedy, University of Pennsylvania, were elected to the board of directors. Judge Hugo Pam, Chicago, president of the organization, will serve until the next convention. NEW FIRM PLANS TO BUILD HOMES Will Have Own Plants for Manufacture of Materials. A plant for the manufacture of brick south of the city on Uannah avenue, a short distance west of South Meridian street, constructed by the Home Seekers' Building Company, Is now In operation.

Young, president of the company, said that at present what Is known a* stiff mu.l brick. 1* being made, but that the company will Immediately be gin the erection of two or three down draft kiln and make facing and finishing brick, and also *lll make hollow building tile. The plant at present, he explatned. ha* dry houses and kiln capacity sufficient to take_care of the output of Its brickmaking machine, which Is 40,000 bricks a day and he added that there Is enough elsy in the tract of land on which the plant ts established to last twenty-five or thirty years: It la the intention, he said, to go into some of the timber lands In the Immediate neighborhood of v ndiannpolls thla winter and atari cutting lumber for the use of the company and in that way obtain hard woods for finishing purposes for the houses they construct, just as brick manufactured by the company will go Into homes built by them, as the building company was organized to sell moderate priced homes to the public. It U also the intention of the company, he said, tn a short time to be able to sell a house all furnished tDd ready to move into. He said that It was the Intention to erect a planing mill neyt year to make sash doors for the company's use, and added that beeldes the manufacture of brick and hollow tile for the company a own use. and the lumber's the company will be able to seU’those building materials in the open market, and also will take contracts for the construction of buildings of any size. Oxford Without Coal; Light Plant Closed The town of Oxford appealed to the Public Commission today for assistance in obtaining coal. It was reported that the electric light plant there had ben forced to close. The commission was making amusements to relieve the situation.

TRUTONA PROVES GOOD INVESTMENT FOR WOMAN
Indianapolis Resident Say* Perfect Tonic I* No Consistent In Giving Relief It I* Money Savor. Because it has been nothing more or less than her experience, Mrs. Mary Cooper, a well-known Indianapolis woman of 509 South Senate Avenue, Is convince that many people spend hundreds of dollars yearly on worthless preparations, trying to get relief, from their troubles. Asa result of her knowliedge of this fact,' Mrs. Cooper recently declared Trutona, the Perfect Tonic, not only to be a remarkable medicine, bui a ’money saver’ as well, because Tru*iona Is so consistent In the matter ot giving relief. “It is needless to say how many different medicines I had tried,” Mrs. Cooper said, “but none of them seemed to give me relief until I began using Trutona. That’s why I say Trutona is a money saver. “I was suffering from after-effects of mfluonza,” she continued. "I was so hoarse I couldn’t speak above a whisper, aud I had such pains hi m.v chest. My limbs and Joints were sore, and I seemed to have no appetite. “My hoarseness has vanished and my voice is as clear as it ever was, since I've taken the Trutona treatment.

"Your heart bled as. you read how he was half starved ana beaten until he became a raving beast. “You have read Os Sidney Carton as bo watched the merciless guillotine clip the heads of the political offenders of France, as he waited for his own blood to mingle with that of the other martyrs of an unenlightened civilization. “You have read how the savages ot America tortared some of our early pioneers with fire, but here in Marion County, here tn Indianapolis, the capital of our State, in the year of 1920, when these horrors were, thought to be lost in the dark pages of the past, wo as a community are chargeable with graver offenses. INSANE MEN HELPLESS VICTIMS. “The men who were tortured In the prisons of the old vwrld were sane inon. Jean val Jean was a strong, robust man. “Sidney Carton, the great character of Dickens, was a man of physical, mental and moral courage. "Death to him was glorifying because of the great sacrifice which accompanied it. "Here in Marlon County men who were entrusted to look after our unfortunate* tortured Insane men. tortured them for acts of Insanity, tortured them for act* which, If they had had the Instincts of brutes, should have excited their utmost sympathy. "Because a poor, depraved maniac tried to climb the jail bars these brutes burned the soles of his feet so that he could not stand. "That Is not all. “Another insane man. a man weak In mind and body, a man who should excite the sympathy of a dog. was stripped of his ragged clothing and thrown Into a dark, damp cell where a hose was turned on him. and then a kind Prov Idence turned to pity by his sufferings, took the breath of life from his poor maligned body. “All thla happened In the Marlon County Jail. Your officials, the men whom yon elected to perform your moral duty, were In charge of it. “This Is not frenky. Incredible ns It may seem In this enlightened age, it Is the terrible truth. "These facts, together wdtb countless others that besmirched the fair name of Indiana before the world, were exposed by an Investigation conducted by Judge Anderson in March of 1920.
“These facts that humiliated the proud! people of Indiana were exposed in tbe Federal Court six months after a letter signed by a number of Jail prisoners, setting out their complaint as to the food •erred them, and declaring that they were starring, bad been published and brought to the attention of the Republican county official* “The result of this investigation rocked the mental equilibrium bf the good people of Indiana. “It era* discovered that deputies in the Jail bad permitted prisoner* to play poker and had takes a ’Takeoff" In the game: that prisoners, fr money, had been permitted to leave tbe Jail: that putrid meat—spoiled User —had been fed tbe prisoners: that tbe bed clothing was loathsome, sad. horror* on horrors! that two insane people—the wards of God were brutally tortured. ”I<*ter in a report by the Marion County grand Jury upon condition* of the prlsohs, it wa* state that “the whole atmosprhere is conducive to an sggrava tion rather than an amelioration of their mental state.” HAYS OFFICIALS DISREGARDED LAWS, “What if the Constitution of Indiana does provide that the penal code shsl) be founded on principles of reformation 1 “What if the Constitution decree* that no prisoner shall be 'treated tUth unnecessary rigor? “Whet dp these officeholders of the 193) civilization care for a Constitution? “What do they care for the mandates of our forefather* who gave them the fairest land in all the world? What do they care for our forefather* -for those who gave their blood that they might build .- "The forefather* may decree, but these brute* of another dsy execute; the forefathers might propose, but these gods of a modern political machine dispose. “I charge the Republican machine in Marion County with the responsibility of these offense* “Every office holder in Marion County wn* a member of that same political machine. "Every on* of them, from Sheriff ‘Honest Bob' MiUer up and down, have done yeoman duty for that machine •*T charge that every member of that machine had some notice of the conditions in the Marion County Jail six months hefore they were exposed by Judge Anderson. “I charge that the Republican Judge
and my limbs snd Joints aren’t sore any more. I'm not one bit nervous now, either, and I donA seem to be able to get enough to eat, my appet’te has improved so much. I sleep like a child at night, too, "In a general way, Trutona has given me back my health and I can see no reason why 1 shouldn't praise It, and tell everyone what the wonderful medicine has done for me. 1 believe everyone should know of nuch a good medicine as Trutona .” Asa Combatant of stomach, liver and bowel troubles, sleeplessness, nervous, ness, loss of appetite and the like, Tru form is without a peer. It is equally as efficient as a reconstructive agency for overcoming the after effects of deep colds, pneumonia and influenza. Now is the time to build up your rundown system. Let Trutona rebuild your nerves and tissues, and restore the strength which hot summer weather Uns sapped. Give the Perfect Tonic a trial today, and enjoy the vigor of life which is sure to follow. Don’t take a chance with the ‘flu.’ A good, healthy body almost Invariably wards off the influenza. Trutona Is sold in Indianapolis at the Hook Chain of Dependable Drug Stores and also at O. JV. Brooks’ Drug Store, Pennsylvania aud Ohio Streets. And by all good druggists everywhere. Advertisement.

of the Marion Criminal Court and the Republican prosecuting attorney had at least as much notice of these conditions as Judge Anderson and the Federal district attorney and could and should have, begun the investigation In the Marion Criminal Court and should not have made it necessary for a busy Federal Court to compel the officials to be human. “I charge more than thla. “I say now that more than six months have elapsed since the exposure ot this shameful cancer on our body politic and (he Republican sheriff has not been tried by the Republican prosecutor. “True, six of bis underlings were brought to trial, but all were freed except Charles Whitesell, who paid a fine of $5 and coats, and “Puss” Melnert, who was sentenced to ten days in Jail and fined $250, from which he appealed to the Supreme Court, and ho is now out on bond. It is a singular fact that “Puss” Meinert’s home ia in Evansville and he is therefore not a resident member of the Marlon County Republican machine. “Six months have elapsed and the Republican sheriff has not been tried. “I sey that the people of Marion County, whose trust was betrayed and whose faith was outraged, demand that the facts surrounding the jail scandal be brought to light by a public trial of the Republican sheriff. "Understand me. I do not claim that Sheriff Miller or any of bis deputies who have been freed are responsible for these outrages. 1 know nothing about it. “I do know that the law presumes them innocent. I presume them Innocent.

HUGHES SAILS INTO CAMPAIGN WITH PACT JOLT (Continued From Page One.) —■ !ng the Monroe doctrine as both Inaccurate and ambiguous. “If It was Intended to reserve the Monroe doctrine unimpaired,” he asked, “why not say so? Why should the American representatives have to secure clear and Adequate provisions upon this point?” Asserting that President Wilson conld readily have secured assent to an. association or league organized on a proper basis, Judge Hughes continued: “He could easily have obtained ratification had he been willing to-accept adequate reservations nedessary for our protection. But he wanted his own way —an attitude to be excused had it been the right way, but it was the wrong way. The candidate of the Democratic party has chosen and is bound to travel In the same wrong path.” A considerable part of Hughes’s speech was devoted to censure of the present administration. \ He dwelt on the reputed “lack of preparation for war, the grievous extravagance in the hurried effort to make amends.” and the present heavy burden of taxation, which he said was largely responsible for tbe present high cost of living. He charged the administration also with flagrant disregard of the fundamental principles of liberty, and retentlor of war powers “wholly inadmissible in peace on the fiction of a continued prosecution of war and in disregard of the plainest facts." With regard to the President's part in negotiating the treaty i# Versailles, he said :* “It was wrong for him to give to foreign powers the Impression of -an authority which did not exist. It was a highly dangerous for an American president to appeal to foreign people-! egalnst their governments. It wav still more dangerous to excite hopes which couM, not be satisfied, and to give riae to a general sentiment in Europe that by reason of expectations created by our representative and unfulfilled, vie had been guilty of a breach of faith.” Incendiary Starts Barn and Garage Fire Fire of incendiary origin destroyed a two-story barn and damaged a garage owned by Mrs. Anna B.
