HOOSIERS GIVE GOOD SUPPORT IN PLAGUE WAR Executive Secretary Reports Work of Indiana Tuberculosis Association. Indiana is to be congratulated on the splendid support given the tuberculosis movement, Murray A. Auerbach, executive secretary of the Indiana Tuberculosis Association, declared today in his report to the eleventh annual conference of the association at the Claypool Hotel. The conference will continue two days, having opened with a business meeting this morning. The business meeting wasfollowed by a luncheon" at which the sale of anti-tuberculosis seals was discussed. The speakers were E. D. Hodges of Valparaiso, the Eev. J. B. Fleming of Itensselaer, and Mrs. M. Kerr of Bloomington. * Tills afternoon the speakers were Mrs. Bennett Whitehead, Evansville ;# Miss Marguerite Bonar, Columbus; L. N. Hines, president of the State Normal School; Mrs. Avis Tarrant Burke, Indiana University, and Dean Stanley Coulter, Burdue Uuniversity. A banquet yiil te given tonight. One concrete evidence of the interest of Indiana in the tuberculosis movement is the willingness to contribute to the cause, Mr. Auerbach said. “The 1921 seal sale-while now a matter of history, is still fresh In our minds,” .he continued. “We cannot conceal our pride In the fact that Indiana -has again taken the position of first place in the Mississippi Valley in the seal sale per capita. Also it is one of - the few States to show an inereae in motlhy raised over the previous year. No better evidence of the confidence held by the public in tuberculosis work can be asked. The little seal sale, which formerly meant merely a means of keeping alive a relatively small interest in ti* work, has come to mean a force of proportions undreamed of in the early years of the sale. "The past year unquestionably was critical in tuberculosis work. Many a worthy enterprise was shattered because the public failed to respond to the appeal, yet the tuberculosis movement came through bigger and stronger than ever. The people are willing to Considering the conditions, the response was liberal. _ In rural counties, as in populated cities, increases over any previous year were shown. Farmers who have been h*rd hit, industrial workers who have been out of employment, all felt that there was a work that must not die. “Os course, these increases were not found in every county. In some places peculiar conditions militated against a successful raising of funds even though the interest was there. That there is still much need for education is apparent. While the support has .been liberal, It is not as great ns it should be. Indiana should raise not less than $200,OCO now to carry on effective work. Education is the foundation of all knowledge. In tuberculosis work, as in every other endeavor, people must be made to see the Importance of health activities. Despite hard times money is available. A report from Washington gives it that $20,000,000 went for amusements in Indiana last year, and of this sum $3,000,000 was sqtent in Indianapolis. We must not overlook the importance of recreation. Interested in health endeavor, as we are, we must appreciate the fact that a certain amount of play belongs to nVormal life and is indeed essential to health and happiness. This fact may be accepted: If in Indiana flnring a year of financial depression S2O.<XX).(XO can be spared for amusements, of tins sum. or $200,000, should be”’spared Mr bettering the health of the various commitles. Even now It is not too early to make this sum the goal for next year. “Indiana Is making regular eon-„ sistent strides in the against tuberculosis. In 1015 thtffe were 4,021 deaths with a death rate of 142.3 per 100,000. In 1020. 3.151 deaths were recorded with a death rate of 107.7. The year 1021 shows even a better record. Thu number of deaths from tuberculosis was decreased by 430, and- the death rate dropped to 02.8 per 100.000. For the first time in the history of Indiana has the morality from tuberculosis fallen to less than 100 per 100,000. Os course this is due to the combined activities of all agencies interested In public health. “We feel that the State Tuberculosis Association has played a definite part in this reduced death rate by organizing local tuberculosis associations, by stimulating activity in tuberculosis prevention and interesting each local community in the problem. It. has been the endeavor of the State office to visit every county and to be of some definite assistance in developing the public health problem. After all, the effectiveness of the State Association can be determined by the service rendered. Every county group hgs been urged to make full use of the State staff and to feel in asking the fullest measure of service. During 1921 c records of the office indicate that 273 visits were made to the various counties and that at least one visit, was made to each county in the State. This was solely for the purposes of organization, edueatlon, development and advisory service. In carrying on this work, sev-enty-one addresses were given and 11,240 persons addressed.”

FIELDS TELLS HOW DIRECTOR WAS KILLED (Continued From Page One.) services. The entire gang slept the sleep of drug addicts until 3 p. m. the day of the slaying. That night, with Fields driving, the quartette proceeded to the Taylor home. There the Chinaman ■selected his weapon, using a pearlhandled revolver after discarding another which he said he feared would “jam.'’ SOON HEARS SHOT FIRED. The gang then entered the house and soon after there was a' shot, Fields says, and the party, headed by the Chinaman, walked from the Taylor residence, the leader with the revolver in his hand. “Knocked somebody oil?'’ Fields declares he asked the Chinaman. “You have seen nothing and know nothing. Don't forget,” the Chinaman retorted, according to Fields. The party dispersed and Fields fled to Seattle, he says. TAYLOR SOUGHT TO SAVE WOMAN LOS ANGELES, Cal., Feb. 23.—Corroborating the so-called “confession'' of Harry N. Field#, alias “Harry, the Chink,” in Detroit, he was a member of a drug peddling gang thnt killed William Desmond Taylor, slain fllrn director, for revenge, It was learned today that montis ago Taylor appealed to Federal officers in Los Angeles to help him thwart the “dope ring” and save fro* Its clutches the woman he Is said to have loved, who was an addict. The name of the woman whom Taylor tried to save is known to the deputies. They say she became an addict several years ago and fell so far Into the dutches of the gang that she wafc paying as much as $2,000 a month for her supply of drugs. Taylor Induced her to go to an Eastern sanitarium for treatment. Practically Cured, she returned to Los Angeles about a year ago, only again to be pursued by the “dope” peddlers. Taylor, in his efforfs to free her from the clutches of the gang, is said to have watched the woman day and night. While the authorities hope to substantiate Fields' story, they say, whether his “confession” Is true or untrue, the investigation will continue along the line Taylor was *lain by a drug peddler. Their evidence concerning Taylor’s fight to save the woman and of his instigation of war against the drug ring, they said, is enough to support the theory lie was slain for revenge by a “hop head.” Official information concerning Taylor's fight against the “dope” gang was expected to be furnished the sheriff's office by. Federal officials. Taylor was reported to have conferred with Assistant United States Attorney Green in his effors to thwart the drug peddlers. As a result of Taylor's story, Federal officers working under cover, were stationed at a certain studio to investigate. One of the Federal investigators is reported to have Worked at the studio and to have obtained information corroborating Taylor’s story to such an extent raids and arrests were being planned at the time Taylor was slain. This information caused Federal officers to conduct a second and secret investigation of his murder, in which much progress had been made, it was stated. Deputy Sheriffs Dewar, Bright and Bell, working under the direction of Sheriff Treager and Undersheriff Biscailuse, are seeking Fields’ wife and three children, who are said to be living in LosAngeles. „ Name Committees „ for Church Meeting Woods A.

FRANCIS WILL NOT REVEAL HIS RECORD IN WAR (Continued From Page One.) will get the information from him. You j give him diamond ring for security>nutll | I pay him.—Frank Moore." ! The defense. It appears, will maintain ; that Hartman did not know Francis until he called at Hartman's office in Febi ruary, 1921, after Detective Willyuji Rugenstein was on Francis' trail. Francis again took the witness stand at 2 o’clock this afternoon and again submitted to the cross-examination of Mr. Inman. Kjancis has a habit of drawing his right foot up into the witness chair and looking over his right knee at Mr. Inman. ’At times he smiled at a pointed question put by Inman. As Inman’s voice drove with emphasizes on a question. Francis often paused and then tuaje as sharp a reply as the question placed by counsel. * Once when,-Inman had placed a ques tion attacking the criminal record of Francis, the latter said nnder his breath, "If you ask that question like a gentleman, I will answer.” ** “Meat’s that you said?” demanded In-' man, “Go on,” answered Francis with a smile. * . Francis appears to be living up'to his reputation of being one of the cleverest thinkers who has occupied a witness chair In a criminal prosecution, it is not necessary for Prosecutor William P. Evans to watch the interests of the chief witness for the State as Francis appears more than capable of handling the situation. ADMITS MARRIAGE UNDER ASSUMED NAME. - Inman, armed with records and data, began firing/ questions •at Francis re ig ,iis Second marriage. Francis admitted that he married his second wife under an assumed name of Moore In Oh'o and later on In Jail at Louisville last fall remarried his second wife under the name of Francis, which he claims is his right name. ”i wanted to tip," wild Francis "I wanted to gltN; my w'lfe her righ: narno of Frnheis.” “Ves. you wanted to clean up.” re pented Inman In loud tones of contempt. i Francis said he has visited many cities —Chicago, St. Louis, New York and ninny others. He maintained he stopped a* ttw finest hotels, in New York, he said, lie stayed at the Pennsylvania Hotel. “That is the finest hotel," said Inman. “No, I wouldn’t say so,” snapped FrancifT. Inman asked, “Did you steal things while you stayed in these fine hotels;” "No," drawled, Francis, “I wasn’t £bere

long enough." SAYS WIFE SAT IN AUTO WHILE HE ROBBED HOUSES. In answer to questions of Mr. Intnan. Francis admitted that his wife often sat >n an automobile while he robbed a house. “Did your wife know that you were robbing houses" asked Inman. “She knew I wasn’t going to Sunday 1 school," he answered. “I dldn t ask you that,” replied In man. "Yes, she did,” answered Francis, i "Did you show her the loot!'” asked Id man. j “Hometimes I did and sometimes 1 1 didn’t,”- answered Francis. “My wife is j not inquisitive.” Francis admitted giving his wife some diamonds that he had stolen. “I gave my wife the best I could provide,” stated Francis. , “By stealing," cried Inman. "Yes. bv stealing,” admitted Fapncis. HARTMAN WKEI'S IN UOI RTROOM 'At this point yesterday afternoon, J. Herbert Hartman, the defendant, who had been listening to the startling re eltaJ of Francis against him, began moaning and/crying. The sobs of Hartman caused Francis to cease testifying for a few minutes. Hartman placed his handkerchief to l.ft eye* and cried loudly. Counsel and friends tried to quiet him. Judge Bain ordered all away so ‘that Hartman could not be agitated. Shortly afterwards, Hartman, with his eyes red from crying, Informed the court, he was l'eady to proceed. Francis turned around In his chair and smiled at the newspapermen when Ilartman began to cry. Hartman's outburst of tears came at a time when Francis was not testifying directly against Hartman but relative to matters concerning Francis’ own conduct toward Mrs. Francis. Francis at one time during one of Mr. Inman’s habits of reputing Francis’ answers, told Inman “to look at the record." STARTING KECITAT OF CRIMINAL RECORD. On direct examination yesterday afternoon. Francis gave one of the most startling recitals in the annals of the Marlon County Criminal Court. n The vital points brought out by Prdsecutor Evans on the direct examination of Francis, are as follows : That In 1920, Francis received about S2OO from J.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.—Plans of the bureau of lighthouses to abandon historic Cape Ileulopen light because of the continued encroachment of the sea at that point on the coast, known when the House received the appropriation bill for the Department of Commerce.

The sanitary board has been attempting to supervise the collection since it Bok over the duty of garbage and ash col'eotlon from the board of public works last summer, but now it wishes to pass the job back to the board or works. President J. A. Craven and Joseph Daniel told Mr. Ogden that the sanitary commissioners believe the board of works should puehase suitable equipment for hwftyy, dead animals, such as | sorses and mules, to the dty garbage re- | dilation plant. The sanitary board ‘ would be willing to pav the board a fair price for the carcasses delivered at tho plant. Some money can be Realiz 'd on the sale of the hides and production of grease from the bodies, he said. Under the present arrangement, the sanitary board gives a verbal contract to a private hauler. The erally is in force- about a month because the contractors find that oftentimes when they called by a cltizeft that the truck of some fertilizer company has beaten them to the carcass. The coni tractor is paid only for the animals he I hauls. *o remedy this tty? sanitary board stigj gested to Mr. Ogden that th(w city council be asked to pass an onmiance prohibiting anyone but the city from collecting dgad animals, that the board of works do such collecting until the next session of the Legislature and that the sanitary district law then be so amended as to make It the epecifle duty of the sanitary board to make the collections. Under tho present law, the sanitary board contends, the Job belongs to the board of works. 1 Says Civilization’s Downfall Possible CHICAGO, Feb. 23.-Christianization of the industrial situation of the Nation is the imperative issue before . the Church of the United States.
