ARMED GUARDS INCREASED OVER BALLOT-BOXES Senate Committee to Give Orders to Impound All Pennsylvania Votes. Bn United Press . . _ ..... WASHINGTON. July 15.—While six armed guards in eight-hour shifts protect Philadelphia and Allegheny County ballots in the Senate office building today, two Senators in the West are expected to give directions which will result in .impounding the rest of Pennsylvania’s votes in the 1926 senatorial election. Request of Senator David Reed (Rep.) Pennsylvania, Watson (Jnd.), and Shortridge (Cal.), ranking Republican members of the Senate Elections Committee, for immediate collection of all ballots, is expected to be complied within a few days. Guards Are Increased The action, which probably will be a telegram to Senate Sergeant-at-Arms David Barry, will insure a recount by the committee to decide the contest brought by William B. Wilson, defeated Democratic candidate, against his winning Republican opponent, William S. Vare. Barry has increased the guards from three to six as a precaution. ! Pennsylvania officials, it was un-1 derstood, will not oppose the election committee vote collection, as they; did the James A. Reed election committee’s similar attempt in a test case involving Delaware County. * Empty Ballot Boxes. The action will allow the ballot j boxes to be emptied and the ballots | stored here, so that the boxes can i be returned to Pennsylvania for a i primary election:’ in September. Senator David Reed has asked! Senator James Reed, it was learned ' today, for permission to empty the 4,800 boxes now guarded here, seal their contents, so that the $25,000 worth of equipment can be returned for use in the primary. . The status of the elections committee and its power to function during the recess can not be questioned, as it is a standing committee, not a special one such as the James Reed investigating body. INDIANA TRUST FUNBSURGED Changes in Manner of Handling Investments Planned. Bn Times Special WASHINGTON, July 16—Changes In the manner in which funds of wealthy Indians can be invested are in contemplation, it became known at the Bureau of Indian Affairs today. These changes are dependent on a survey o's the investments now being conducted for the Interior Department by the Institute of Government Research. At present investments are limited to government securities and deposits in designated banks. This gives a smaller rate of interest than the bureau feels can be obtained. The majority of the wealthy Indians live in Oklahoma and that State is urging creation of Indian trust funds. The Indian will designate a reliable trust company to act as trustee and invest his money for him in that State under government supervision. Government control of Indian funds expires in 1931. It will likely be renewed. Meantime the survey is being conducted to determine what changes can be made that will be of benefit to the Indians. ‘SENATOR’DEAD; CHOKED ON COB Horse Probably Worth S3OO, Says Laurel Farmer.

The Prisoners Song *

D. C. Stephenson has turned to poetry. On the night before he was visited by Pdosecutor Remy, John W. Holtzman and Emsley Johnson, he dashed off his rhythmic stanzas. This is what he read to them during their conference: BY D. C. STEPHENSON When you have done your best in the battle, and your deeds are covered with lies: When your motives by others are questioned, and the clouds have covered your skiqs: When you go on a mission of friendship, and do your best to be kind— Whpn your mission is said to be “freakish,” and they question the state of your mind; When you have stood four-square in the vanguard, and shouldered the heft of the load; When those who should be grateful only throw more stones in your road; When law has come to naught and justice has completely fled, When vandals have ravaged a state, and official conscience is dead: When God in Heaven is mocked by men in high public place— When to cover the sins of others they hurl at you more disgrace: When you are muzzled by ruthless vassals, and dare not claim your rights. When despotism supplants due process, and your days- are turned into nights— * When you claim no privilege nor power, but merely pray for a manly foe. When treachery, double-dealing and falsehood are met with whereever you go; When a premium is placed on trickery, and men betray their trust. When motives of action are selfish, and honor is stifled by lust. When you have been bullied and beaten, and they threaten to take your life; When those you have helped and fought for stab you in the back with a knife— When you have done-your best to be loyal, and failed for lack of a chance: When the men you have honored and trusted fly at your heart with a lance— It is then that you long for the reaper who carries the sickle of death; You feel you would be happy and thankful for a hangman to cut off your breath. You would rather be dead and forgotten, and be food for the worms in the grave, Than to live in the world witlj men who return not the love you gave.

JUDGE UPHOLDS ORDER CLOSING M’CLUREBEACH No Evidence of Fraud Found; Officials Doing Duty, Says Ruling. In order to prevent an “epidemic lof disease” in Indianapolis, Judge Joseph M. Milner, Superior Court Five, Friday ruled that McClure Twenty-Sixth St. and White River, remain closed, under order of the city ‘health board. The court held this in a suit , brought by James Angelo, concession holder, who sought to have the beach opened. He alleged chemical tests showed the water fit for swimming despite the board's order that it was impure. • Upholds Health Officials “Under all the facts submitted and circumstances surrounding this case, the court is strongly of the opinion that actions of the health authorities should be upheld in every instance unless shown to be tainted with fraud, which has not been shown in this case. "It would be far better to have one person suffer a financial loss on accost of a matter of this sort, rathrt- than have an epidemic of disease sweep over the city, which might and no doubt would be caused by permitting swimming at the Twenty-Sixth St. beach under the condition .the water is in at the present time,” the court’s closing paragraph said. No Evidence of Fraud Judge Milner said the plaintiff had attempted to “inject some evidence in this case with the intention, no doubt, of showing the court that there has been some fraud, or something of deeply mysterious nature back of the closing of this beach. “In the opinion of the court there has been no evidence of any such nature.” He pointed out that evidence related that the sewage valve at FiftyFourth St., was being kept open in order to make the water impure. „ Predicts Filing of Suit “The court can not conceive of any city officials being so small that they would deliberately become a CITIZEN ARMY REVIEWED BY AREA COMMANDER Uhricksville (Ohio) Man Camp's Most Promising Candidate.
