Says Rentai Property in Greatest Danger Members of the Indianapolis rental board were told at a noon meeting In th* Chamber of Commerce building to-

day that a serious responsibility for the prevention of fires rested upon them as an organization and individually, by Jacob H. Hilkene, chief of the fire prevention division of the Indianapolis fir* force. That greater danger from fire exists In rented property than In property occupied by the owner himself was a fact emphasized by the speakers, who said that with th* rental agents rested tlie obligation of seeing that the proper kind of flues and heating apparatus was installed in property which was to be rented, and that they should assist the owner? of rented property in impressing tenants that upon them rested a responsibility to keep the premises free of waste material in which fire might easily start or gain headway. SUES FOR $25,000 DAMAGE. Damages of $25,000 today were asked by Royer H. Brown against the city of lndlauapolig for alleged injuries sustained in a fall on the ild of a manhole on Twentieth street, near Talbott av#nus. Sept. 10.

RUSSIANS TOO WEAK TO EAT IN FAMINE REGION Food Beginning to Arrive to Relieve Sufferings of '1 Millions. CHILDREN FED FIRST The City of Samara, from which the following was dispatched is in the heart of the Russian famine district. The writer Anna Louise Strong, is a member* of the Friends (Quakers) relief, which wus already assisting starving Russia before reports of the famine reached the outside world. Tlte dispatch was written amidst* the squalor and misery of the world's greatest starvation scourge in modern times.—Editor. By ANNA LOUISE STRONG. SAMARA, Russia, Sept. 20 (via London, Sept. 27.) 1 came upon a Russian woman just as I left the relief train today. She was barefooted. Her clothing consisted of dirty rags. Her face was a yellowish gray. Her body was shrunken and her hands and feet were like claws. The breath came in fluttering, feeble gasps. I offered her a piece of white bread. She opened her eves but was so weak she could not raise her hand. I lifted her hand and placed the bread within it, but the hand fell back to earth and the bread roiled from it. 1 broke off a piece and placed it in tier mouth. The lips opened feebly, but she could not chew, she was too weak. All hope of life hail fled. This Is the picture of starring Russian womanhood in the famine zone It is not a pretty picture for the well-fed outside world to ponder, but It is a true one. Outside food is now coming Into the Samara district. B ins. compressed vegetables, from which a thick soup is made, bread, chocolate ami cod liver oil arc now being distributed, according to the quantifies on bard. Women and children first is the rule The children are sad spectacles. Their light bodies are wasted and dirty and their clothing is tagged. Many are covered wilh sores from scurvy. The first | foreign food actually distributed In the ; famine area was one ton of lra:.s. which was given away today through the pro vlnrinl cooperatives s ,->;y for child j feeding outside *.f the cit; The second bite hos food distributed consisted of two tons of cod liver oil - this Is considered a so-d, rot a medicine —two tops of cocoa, and one ton of dried vegetables It was turned over to the' provincial health authorities for burned! I s:e use in tho country hospitals where great numt-ers of under nourished chll dren ar* sheltered. Food relief train No. 3 Is due tomor row.

Tlia cows ore warring as well as human beings but they have been nuise-1 along na well as possible for the milk. I visited onefnurserj where there were 30 children.

Investigator Finds Dual Control of Railroads Bar . to Efficient Management

Special to Indiana Daily Times and Philadelphia Labile Ledger, i WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.—The division ; of authority between the Interstate ComI'merce Commission and the United States Railroad Labor Board "violates the fun- ; dameutals of efficient business management." in the opinion of Representative , Sydney Anderson, chairman of the Joint ; Commission of Agricultural Inquiry. Mr. Anderson said policies involving expenses to be assumed are for private management and tiiat Government control should be limited to supervisory, regulatory j functions, in a statement made public ; today. ‘Tii* Interstate Commerce Commission.” said Mr. Anderson, "regulates the prices iof transportation and the United States Labor Board regulates its costs.

"Centralized authority nnd responsibility are Just as essential to the management of railroads as to th* management of any other business, and the existing dual control of railroads, which divides responsiniUty and authority, is a compromise on the fundamentals of sound business organization and eff! lent management, which result* in excessive burdens ' upon the shipping public.
