W. B. BURFORD,BO, SUCCUMBS AFTER ONE DAY ILLNESS Funeral Set Monday for Pioneer Business Man — Resident 63 Years. 11l only a day from a heart attack, William B. Burford Sr., 80, head of the printing establishment bearing Ills name and a pioneer In business, died at his home, 1330 N. Meridian St., late Friday. Since he came to Indianapolis six ty-three years ago from Independence, Mo., his birthplace, Mr. Burford displayed a keen Interest in civic and political affairs. Rites Private Funeral services will be held at the residence at 2 p.m. Monday, the service being conducted by Dr. Virgil E. Itorer, Meridian M. E. Church pastor. Burial will be private in Crown Hill Cemetery. Friends were invited to _the home Sunday. Mr. Burford entered the firm of Braden & Burford, with his father, when he came to the Hoosler capital, taking over the concern more than fifty years ago. . Leaving his office at 6:45 p. m. Thursday with E. M. Canis, veteran employe, Mr. Burford suffered an attack when he arrived home. Was State Printer Through his wife, who died six years ago, Mr. Burford was active In charity. He was a member of the Board of Trade, Chamber of Commerce, Meridian St. M. E. Church and the Scottish Rite. William B. Burford Jr. and Mrs. Henry R. Danner are surviving children. Danner and the son were associated in the business. For many years the Arm held the State printing contract. The establishment at 40 S. Meridian St. is one of the oldest and largest printing concerns In Indiana. .'about the LOBBIES Not “If I Were but “If I Were Governor,” is the phrase that seems to And place behind the I.a Follette-llke pompadour of Lieutenant Governor F. Harold Van Orman. This thought was uppermost in his mind as he signed the House appropriation bill in the Senate Friday. The hill gives the pay-raise to legislators and himself, and he told the Senators that he was so excited about It that he almost signed on the line marked "Governor.” Senator >l. Monroe Fitcli. Muncie, disapproves of making all legislation “emergency measures.” He warned his fellow Senators In a s|eech Friday. Apparently the Senators think they are laboring long and hard enough. When Senator B. B. Inman, Danville, Introduced a resolution condemning unnecessary recesses, delays nnd postponements he was the only “aye” voter on the measure. Both President Pro Tern. James J. Nejdl, Whiting, and Democrat Joseph M. Cravens, Madison, talked against'it. , „ Do Haven’s bill, 11. B. 51, carries a nice little “joker," which would permit the Governor to get rid of “had" boys on the highway commmiHsion. It wasn't hidden long. When Van Orman, O’Rourke and Nejdl came rushing ovei- to the House from the Senate Friday they had blood in their eyes. The Senators were after that $lO per day and they told the House where to head In p. and. q. They got results ajl right.

COLO SPELL TO CONTINUE HERE (Continued From Page 1) x slderablo property damage was done and many destitute families were reported suffering front the cold. Automobile and train traffic was slowed throughout the Middle West. Armlngton described the weather as being unusual, it for the mercury to slide under 10 below in Indiana.

Repairs were being made rapidly. Indiana Bell Telephone Company reported 200 breaks in the State, none in the city. Many Folks Suffer The Postal Telegraph Company I had trouble north of the city, be- | tween Indianapolis and Monon principally, with some breaks between Richmond and Eaton. Normal service was resumed by noon. Monon, Pennsylvania and Big Four trains out of Chicago were as much as three hours late. A Detroit train was one hour late, and a train from St. Louis was delayed twenty minutes. Others *ralns generally were running about on schedule. "Tills cold snap has rushed us to death with requests and telephone calls for help,” said Mrs. Maude Hobson, chief deputy at the Center town- ! ship trustee's office, 215 E. New York 9t. "The main request Is for coal, of course. There have been an unusual number of requests for help since the first of the year, anyway, and this extreme cold snap finds the extremely pod* entirely unprepared.” “Requests for help have Increased fully 100 per cent since this cold snap began," said Maj. W. J. Sowders of the S-jalvatlon Army. “We are overrun with requests, but we are taking care of every one who applies. There Is a tremendous amount of suffering in the city. ’Coal, coal,’ Is the most Insistent plea." The Family Welfare Society also reported an unusual number of requests for help.

ANTI-EVOLUTION LAW HELD VALID. BUT SCOPES WINS Defendant in Famous Case Gains Reversal of Conviction. Bv I’nitrd Press NvVSHVILLE. Tenn., Jan. 15. Constitutionality of the law Vhich prohibits teaching in public schools of Tennessee the theory "that man descended from a lower order of animal,” was upheld today in a decision handed down by the State Supremo Court. The test case was taken before the Supreme Court by Johno Thomas Scopes, Dayton school teacher, convicted for violation of the law. Although the law was upheld, the verdict against Scopes was reversed on the grounds that he was illegally fined SIOO when the maximum penalty tot a misdemeanor In this State Is SSO. "We are not able to see how the prohibition of teaching the theory that man waa descended from a lower order of animals gives preference to any religious establishment or mode of worship,” said the decision. "All of us agree," said Justice Green, who read the verdict, "that nobbing is to be gained by prolonging this bizarre case.” Justice McKinney, who dissented on the part of the decision which upheld constitutionality of the antievolution law. held that the law should be Invalidated on the grounds of uncertainty. Justices Cook and Green held the law to be constitutional and interpreted t to mean that the teaching of any theory of evolution even as a theory is proliibitted. Justice Chamless, in his opinion, said the law was constitutional, and that only teaching of ‘materialistic” theory of evolution Is unlawful under Its provisions. PLANS FURTHER FIGHT Attorney Proposes Appeal to U. S. Supreme Court. Bu Unltedyl’ress NEW YORK. Jan. 15.—Informed of the decision of the Tennessee Supreme Court, upholding the constltuionality of the anti-evolution teaching law, Dudley Field Malone, one of the batery of counsel that defended Scopes, today told the United Presc he and his associates would carry the fight against the law to the United States Supreme Court If It could be done under today's decision.

JAN. 15, 1927
interested citizens have been 'lnvited. It is understood that City Engineer Chester C. Oberleas Is preparing for the board new specifications which will cut the depth of both asphalt and concrete pavement, but strengthen the reinforcement of concrete.. Asphalt specifications now call for a six-inch concrete base, one and onehalf inch asphalt binder course and one and one-half inch asphalt surface course. The board plans to cut the top course to only one Inch. ComyWo specifications call for a six inch base, steel rod reinforcing and a two inch surface course of concrete. It is proposed to change this to six inch base, steel mesh reinforcing and one inch top course cutting the top course one inch. The changes would bring asphalt paving costs down closer to concrete costs.. Considerable argument by engineers as to whether cutting the depth of the top asphalt course will lessen the wearing quality of asphalt paving is expected in view of the fact that modern motor traffic lias ruined many Indianapolis j asphalt streets in less than ten years. CHAPLIN AFRAID HE STILL LOVES (Conlinnert From Page 1) thing It Is supposed to be. “I am worth a little over a million,” he saidDidn’t Get “Kick” "She constantly tormented mo with I don’t get a kick out of living with you,” the comedian said. “After the first child was born she told me she loved me. I guess that I was the happiest man in the world then. I fairly walked on air, hut it didn't last. Then after the second child was born she got real friendly with this tumbler. She was in the hospital with oar trouble and I soon found out that when I wasn’t there, he was there holding her hands/* Then Charlie burst forth with some of the pathos that sometimes lies behind the screen smile which those of the theatrical world use mechanically, oven though a heart is fair’y breaking. ”1 was trying to make pictures ” he said, “trying t 0 bear up under the scandal Llta was spreading. That stuff about me being a degen erato -and other things. A smilej showed on my face, but you can bet there wasn’t any smile in my heart. T thought I couldn’t smile or bo funny. My home life was hell. "Then I got her to go to Honolulu so I could recover some of my nerve. T later learned that her constant companion while she was hero was a Kanaka. "Six weeks ago we agreed to a divorce, the Paris kind. " ’How much money do you want?’ I asked. ‘How much are you worth'." Llta and her mother countered 1 agreed on half a million. So did they. Then later they demanded a million. "Hero’s one thing I know. That is that I am well rid of her. I can now have my heart In my work as I make pictures." And the muscles of Chaplin’s jaw quivered to form an expression of determination as though thoso words hurt. Chaplin has placed his fate In the lap of the gods—and the all-gener-oijs great American public. Swaying under buffeting criticism, the self-admittedly unhappy comedian has asked the cinema public to withhold judgment on charges of his wife, TJta Grey, “until it learns the truth.” ASKS JUDGMENT DELAY Will Ilajs Appeals to Public In Chaplin Case. Bv United Press EL PASO, Tex., .Tan. 15.—Movie fans should withhold a verdict in the Charlie Chaplin divorce case until “all the facts are made public,” V/jil Hays, movie czar, told interviewer i when he passed through here on his way from New Orleans to Los Angeles.
