STIVENS IS NOW AT STATE FARM Begins Sentence Once Suspended, Then Ordered Served. Pat Stivers. who failed in his attempt to be released from the custody of Sber- , ijfasiobert F. Miller on a writ of habeas Corpus, today was an inmate of the In- i diana State Farm, according to an announcement by the sheriff. Stivens was accompanied to the farm yesterday by Sheriff Miller and Deputy Frank Kemp. Stivens was fined SSO sentenced to 180 days on the Indiana State Farm in the City Court on Not. 11, by Special Judge Frank Symmes oiC a charge of bootlegging. Judge Symmes on that date suspended sentence ; on'Stivens on the condition that he would | refrain from violating the Indiana prohi- i bifton statutes. Pat evidently received the. suspension with a wink, because be again appeared in City Court on Dec. 4 on another chargo of violating the prohibition laws. Judge Symmes then revoked the suspension and ordered Stivens remanded into the custody of the sheriff. Attorney Dan Brown, counsel for Stivens. filed a petition before Judge Solon Carter of Superior Court, room 3, j asking that Stivens be ordered released on the grounds that the record was void on Its face and that the city court did not have the legal authority to suspend a sentence. Carter held that in his opinion court had no legal authority to suspend the days bht also held that Stivens was legally ordered to the Indiana State farm for a period of ISO days and held that he was virtually serving the days imposed although he was neither on the farm nor in Jail. The court indicated that U.ivens was entitled to a reduction of the da3' between the date of sentence nud I>er. 4, the date of the suspension. Sheriff Miller stated that no action has been taken as yet to obtain the reduction of time for Stivens. Judge Carter ordered Stivens remanded Into the custody of the sheriff last Tuesday and Sheriff Milleg yesterday carried out the committment by taking Stivens to the Indiana State farm. Says City Fays Much for Transportation That a city Is no larger than its transportation facilities and that few realise j the waste in transportation In Indian-; spoils, was pointed out by Tom Snyder, secretary of the Indiana Transfer and Warehousemen's Association, in a talk before the Indianapolis Advertising Club ! yesterday. “There are from twenty to thirty ve- j hides ildly waiting for their loads at the ! CWf"n!- warehouses nnv and v." he said.! -This one phase of was'e occasions a j loss of at least $60,000 a year. Another big waste* results from the closing of! two downtown streets hy the railroads ! making it neecssary to detour freight. I should say that this street closing cos's the city of Indianapolis at least S4OO 000 annually.”

HART SISTERS APPEAR IN COURT While Bernice and Irene Hart have been singing songs of love with the William Rock Revue of 1920 at English’s this week, their hearts have been sad because their mother's petition for a divorce was pending in the Marlon County Circuit Court. The two sisters passed up their beauty sleep this morning and were in the Circuit Court when their mother, Mrs. Violet Morrison, took the witness stand to substantiate her chafges of cruelty against her husband, William B. Morrison, 143 East Ohio street. Bernice and Irene were the principal witnesses for their mother and both testified of their stepfather’s cruelty toward their mother. While Irene Hart was testifying to seeing her stepfather trying to choke her mother, she broke down and cried. Her sister, Bernice, took the witness stand in behalf of her mother and gave testimony calmly against her stepfather. The giris, in their pretty suits and hats, made a lovely picture as they forgot about the footlights and the applause of the audience in the ordeal of publicly presenting to Judge Harry Chamberlin the circumstances which resulted in their mother separating from Mr. Morrison on April 1, 1920. The Morrisons were mtrried April 9, 1913. ' The two stage stars, by their unaffected way and their devotion to their mother, who is their constant companion on their long tours with theatrical companies, won the sympathy of every one in the courtroom. Mr. Morrison was not in court at the rime of the hearing. Judge Chamberlin, after hearing the undisputed evidence, granted Mrs. Morrison a complete divorce and restored her former name. Violet Hart. The mother of the Hart sisters, as well as the girls themse.ves, claimed Indianapolis as a legal residence. MAY HOLD TWO JOBS, . The county commissioners today f@Ve permission to Dr. H. S.

HARRISON TRUST QUESTION IS SET Action of Court Hinges on Recovery of Russell B. i On the recovery of Col. Russell B. Harrison, a local attorney and the son of the former President, Benjamin Har- : rison, from Injuries sustained last ‘Sun- ! day when an automobile was -struck by an interurban while he and a party of Greeks were returning from Ft. Benjamin Harrison, Judge Linn Hay of Superior Court. Room 2, will consider a special finding of fact in a case resulting from the will of the former President of the United States. Mrs. Marthena Harrison Williams, Norfolk, Va. , and a daughter of Colonel Harrison, filed a suit June 1, 1910, in the Superior Court. Room 2, against the Union Trust Company of Indianapolis as trustee appointed under the provision of the will of Benjamin Harrison and against Russell B. Harrison, trustee, under the will, in an effort to terminate a trust in which she claims she is entitled to approximately $4,700 from the estate of the former President. , The Superior Court sustained a demurrer of the defendants after it was shown that the plaintiff had agreed to the money being placed in a trust fund. On an appeal to the Appellate Court, the higher court reversed the action of the trial court in sustaining end referred the case again to the trial court. Under the terms of the will, a trust fund was created in interest of Colonel Harrison and any heirs he might have. The will of the President specified that when a child of Colonel Harrison became of age the child should be given his or her share of the trust fund. Colon'l j Harrison claims that it was the lnten- ! tion of his father to make the trust fund j a permanent one, hut in drawing up the will a provision directing the distribution of the fund to the children of Colonel Harrison on becoming of age was inserted, thus destroying the original intentions of his distinguished father. The records show that Marthcna Harrison married Harry A. Williams, Jr., of Norfolk, Va., and on becoming of age took legal steps to obtain in cash her part of the late President’s estate. The evidence shows that Mrs. Williams agreed to the making of the trust fund and so waived her rights to obtain her share of the estate on becoming of age. Pleadings of Colonel Harrison shows thnt 1 his daughter regularly has received her } slmre of the income from the trust fund ! since it was created. Other pleadings and arguments will I be made in the case*as soon as Colonel j Harrison Is physically strong enough j to appear in court. MYSTERY IN MAN'S DEATH.
