200 PICKED BOY SCOUTS TO FORM FIRE-FIGHTING RESERVE
CORONER’S PROBE INDICATES DENNER WAS RIDING ALONE Police Still Continue to Investigate Theory of Possibly Companion, Belief that William F. Benner, 45, of 1221 N. LaSalle St., was alone when his automobile took him to his death plunge into Fall Creek at Talbott Ave., early Wednesday, was expressed today by Coroner Paul F. Robinson, who is conducting an inquest. Police/ continued their investigation of clews which, to their minds, indicated there may have been a woman with him and that her body might possibly still be in the creek. Benner’s body was recovered from the almost submerged car Wednesday morning. It the back seat and condition of the car’s machinery showed it wa§ going full speed when it went into the stream. Br. Robinson said he was certain Denner died from drowning. He discounted theories that Denner’s heart was afflicted a short time before the ear went over the thirty-foot embankment. Meanwhile the coroner and police are seeking to learn where Benner war from 8:15 Tuesday evening, when his mother, Mrs. Pauline Denner, with whom he lived. said he drove away from home, and the time when the accident occurred. Dr. Robinson said any person who had seen Denner in this period would render a public service by telling *he authorities all lie knows. Denner's funeral will be Friday afternoon at the residence.
U: S. WITNESS SAYS ROM WAS DIVIDED (Continued Front Page 1) Chicago for two days trying to catch Agnes Szabo, pretty Hungarian girl, of South Bend with a basket of whisky. "I wouldn’t hang around anywhere that long for one basket of whisky,” Melloy answered emphatically. Melloy told of whisky deals with Agnes Szabo. "We seized thirteen cases of w hisky from Bill Jones of Indianapolis,” he testified. "Part of it was sold to Miss Szabo and the rest divided between Hunter, Dunn, Constable Mykoff and me. I never touch whisky, so I gave a lot of mine away.” After that he said he supplied Agnes Szabo with whisky constantly. “She bought about 150 cases ali told,” he said. ‘‘The price ran from $125 to $l3O a case. When we didn’t have enough to supply her demand I used to go to Chicago with her and help buy whisky for her there, also to keep her from being molested. ’ Seize Shea’s Booze Twenty cases of whisky belonging to Deunis Shea of Terre Haute were seized, Melloy said, and sold to Agnes. Money from the sale was split with ofSic-ials, he said. "Seabright came to me once and said that we had to return twentyfive quarts of whisky taken from Schaeffer’s place in East Gary,” Melloy said. "We took it back, Seabright going with me.” It was common custom Melloy said, to take bonds from liquor defendants, divide the money' and drop the prosecution of the case. The size of the cane Melloy has carried ever since the trial opened caused considerable comment. "There will be no attempt to intimidate that witness.” a prohibition agent said, as Melloy, in emphasizing a point on the witness stand, brought the heavy cane down with a thump that resounded throughout the courtroom. Melloy in his testimony on crossexamination told of paying money to Hunter in Hunter’s office.
Safe Full of Liquor He said he put the booze in the office of Fred Seal)right, a deputy prosecutor, "until the safe was all full and we had to put it in the floor,' Starr produced a receipt purporting to have been signed by Charles L. Clemens, a justice of the peace, for S6OO and made out to Pete Persons, a constable. Melloy said he had seen the receipt. “Did you ever use whisky as evidence in the justice of the peace courts?” Starr asked. "No,” the witness answered, “we never had to.

“D. E. G." writes: “M y r b e u mat ism is getting worse all the time. J, am g elin g so stiff that it makes it very hard for me to £e l around.” Answer: Get at the drug store the
ingredients named, mix thoroughly, and take a teaspoonful av, mealtime and again at bedtime, and you should be entirely relieved of that' disagreeable disease, rheumatism. Purchase 2 drams of lodide of Potassium, oz. of Wine of Oolchieutn, 4 drams of Sodium Salicylate, 1 oz. cotnp. fluid Balmwort, 1 oz. comp, essence Cardiol, and hart a ted Pepsin, ad <1 s.. S oz. This has satisfied thousands, and I am sure it will you. To relieve quickly the .severe pains take 5grnin Su-thol tablets. * "Mrs. 1.. L." writes: “I am seeking some safe method to reduce my flesh. While my frame is large r am getting real fat, and. of course. It Is embarrassing." Answer: For many years I have placed reliance in the %>rmula known as 5-grain Arholone tablets packed in sealed tubs with sud directions for home use. Some have reduced as much as forty pounds in a few weeks. ... Interested asks: “I am constipated, tongue coated, have headache. dizzy spells and indigestion sometimes. Please advise." Answer: 1 advise that you begin using 3 grain Sulplxerb tablets (not sulphur). These tab'ets are laxative, act on the liver, kidneys and bowels, and tend to keep the blood pure by arousing the eliminative functions. Relief should follow quickly. • * “Manager" writes: “1 have pains in my spine and frightful headache in back of head, fainting spells, twitching and trembling, nervousness, sleeplessness, loss of appetite and strength, and in fact as a ‘has-been’ when it comes to performing accustomed work and duties.” Answer: In all such eases the assimilative functions have not kept pace with waste functions and a powerful harmless tonic treatment is needed. I find Cndomene tablets unexcelled and astonishingly beneficial in such cases and advise them for you. _* • •

thing containing acetanilide. Can you help me?" Answer: I seldom advise acetanilide for such ailments. Five-grain Su-tiiol tablets are superior for any kind of pain. Instant relief usually occurs. They contain no opiates. * * “Jane” says: “Some time ago I contracted a very severe cold and cough. 1 have tried many remedies, but they do not seem to help me at all. 1 wish you would advise me what to do." Answer: What you need is a laxative cough syrup, one that will drive the cold from your system The following wilt check your cold and cough: Get a 2%-oz. package of concentrated essence Mentiio Laxene and make according to directions on the bottle. Take a teaspooulul every hour or two. This will relieve you in a very few hours. * Celia asks: “My hair is too oily and my scalp itches with dandruff, and of late it is combing out too much. What is a good treatment?” i Answer: Obtain plain yellow Minyol from your druggist in 4-oz. jars and apply’ as per directions. This cleans and invigorates the hair and scalp, thus stopping the death of the hair. |>au drutf and itching are at once relieved. * * • “Worried” writes: “Have been doctoring for kidney trouble and now want your advice. Frequent desire is followed by burning pain and am very tender and sore over region of bladder. . Also backache affects me dreadfully. Can hardly move when 1 awake in the morning. Weakness, too, is a symptom,” Answer: i think if you will take Balmwort tablets regularly for a fen weekg your kidneys and bladder will become normal and such symptoms vanish. This is unequaled for such complaints, in my estimation. Note: For many years Dr. Baker. 312 College Bldg., Dayton. Ohio, has been giving free advice and prescriptions to millions of people through toe press, columns, and doubtless has Helped in relieving illness and distress more than any single individual in the world's history. Thousands have written him expressions of gratitude and coniiden.-e similar to the following: Dr. Lewis Baker. Dear Sir: We lave used three of the medicines you advise, the double four, the essence Mentho Laxene and the rheumatism prescriptions. and I want to say they all worked like a charm. They are the best 1 hav > ever used and I feel I could not keep house without them. 1 am very grateful and pleased to recommend any of the ** medicines prescribed. Very truly ,jr.urs.
