STOCKYARDS TO STAGE JUBILEE t IN NOVEMBER i*• First Carload of Livestock Brought* Here for Sale 50 Years Ago. The stockyards and livestock market of Indianapolis will celebrate their fiftieth anniversary next month. Officials of the Belt Railroad and Stockyards Company have set aside Nov.’ 12 for the jubilee celebration, commemorating the marketing of the first carload of livestock, Nov. 12, 1877. The day’s program has not been planned definitely, but probably will include an old-fashioned barbecue, speeches by old-timers and a banquet and dance in the evening. Committees have been appointed, and with co-operation of Samuel E. Rauh, president of the Belt Railroad and Stockyards Company, will have a program worked out withiii a short time. Not only will men long identified with the livestock industry of, Indianapolis enjoy the day, but it is proposed to plan activities for the thousands of patrons throughout Indiana, Illinois, Ohio and Kentucky. Need Seen in Sixties Early in the ’6o's. livestock was sold without competition, to the private yards of meat packers. Nicholas McCarty, having visited the Chicago and St. Louis yards pointed out the need of such a stockyards for the growing livestock industry of central Indiana. The packing business of Indianapolis just was beginning development. Kingan & Cos. had moved its plant from Cincinnati and was operating private stockyards, openedin 1870. Five years later another yard was put into operation by the Exchange Stockyards and Manufacturing Company, with a plant located on White river just north of the old I. & V. Railroad. At this time the idea of a belt railroad combined with a large stock yards was brought to the attention of the city. The project was put under way, but met with failure because of the panic of 1873. Gets Successful Start It later successfully was finished by the Union Railroad Transfer and Stockyards Company, with the active support of Mayor Cavin. This company was headed by W. R. McKeen, former president of the Vandalia Railroad and the McKeen National Bank of Terre Haute. The old Exchange Stockyards and Manufacturing Company absorbed by the new firm in 1877. The early days of its history represent a constant struggle, with problems that only men of courage could handle. Such a leader was found in the person of Samuel E. Rauh, who became president in February, 1897, and has held the position ever since. He was at that time president of the Moore Packing Company. It began operation with lour sheds

Whipper Ready to Drop SIOO,OOO Suit

'lran :

Mrs. Francis M. Allen (left) of Lake Forest, 111., is willing to drop her suit for SIOO,OOO against Miss Ida Martin (right) of Kansas City, Mo., provided her husband, Col. Francis M. Allen (center), commander of the 131st infantry, Illinois National Guard, “comes home with a clean slate.” Miss Martin denies she won Colonel Allen’s affections and declares she is suffering a nervous breakdown due to Mrs. Allen’s persecution, which included a public horsewhipping in a Chicago street last January.

on 100 acres. The company was unable to pay dividends and maintain an active building program at the same time, However, under Rauh’s management, the plant had been increased to 200 acres and eight buildings in fifteen years. Destroyed by Fire In the spring of 1904 the local yards were destroyed by firei but despite the heavy loss and the re-, sultant confusion, provisions immediately were made for the handling and distribution of livestock without interuption. The company rebuilt its plant on a much larger scale than before, and with steady growth, has instituted a business policy of meeting all modem requirements. Recent growth in hog and sheep business has necessitated anew hog shed, in use within a few days. This building has 350 pens and increases the total capacity of the yards to 10,000 hogs. The abandoned hog building will be used for the sheep division, which has had an extensive growth during the last two years.

COMBAT TWIN WHEATPESTS Millers Warn Farmers on Garlic, Onions. Bit United Press MT. VERNON,, Ind., Oct. 3. Flour mill operators of southern Indiana are uniting to fight the wild garlic and onion pests, which promise to rival the com borer in damage to crops, unless immediate steps are taken to check thpir spread. Infestation of southern Indiana wheat fields in recent years by garlic and onions has reached a point where immediate action is necessary, the millers declare, and a campaign is planned to educate farmers regarding methods of fighting the invasion. The situation is far more serious than many farmers realize, J. L. Grigg, spokesman for the millers declares. Garlic and onions are costing the southern Indiana wheat belt thousands of dollars each year, with every prospect that if a war of eradication is not started immediately, the damages will increase at an appalling rate. The peril, he pointed out, is not several years in the future, as is that from the corn borer, for whose control the Federal Government already is spending millions of dollars yearly. “Crops in this vicinity already are being badly damaged,” Grigg declared. “There must be no further delay in putting into operation a systematic plan of combating the pests.”

Deplorable as the situation is, he added, it is one that can be remedied. “Eradication is entirely feasible, with the right methods of cultivation I intend to give a series of lectures over this part of the State to bring farmers to the realization of the danger. I believe that once the public is arousqd we will be vic-v torious in our campaign, and southern Indiana wheat and flour will assume the same high position it has held in the past.”

Beech Grove Man Fails to Fit in Hoople Role Politics ruined her husband. The job of justice of peace at Beech Grove didn’t pay and wrecked their happy home, Mrs. Harry W. Ringenberger testified in Municipal Court today. Judge Paul C. Wetter sentenced Ringenberger, Beech Grove justice of peace, to sixty days on the State farm and fined him SSO on a lazy husband charge. Before Rigenberger was elected justice of peace he worked in a tire shop for $23 a week, the wife told the judge. That wasn’t much, but she economized and they and their three children lived comfortably and were buying their home. When he assumed office he quit the job. The justice of peace office didn’t pay much and they lost the home. Then a month ago Rigenberger chased her out of the house with a revolver, she charged. S. D. Pruitt of Beech Grove testified that Rigenberger collected $23 due him for wages and failed to turn the money over.

GILLIOM AGAIN RAKES PETERS / Will You Ever Answer Me? Is Burden of His Say. Attorney General Arthur L. Gilliom wrote another letter to Democratic State Chairman R. Earl Peters today. “For the fourth time I ask you whether you are going to answer the question I originally put to you,” VTote Gilliom. “I acknowledge your letter of Oct. 3, in which you again evade the question of whether you will name the groups of super-government and secret government that I named and urge your party in the next campaign to take a position against their dominating and secret influences in politics and government.” Gilliom answers three barbs which Peters tossed in his direction. Regarding his opinion that D. C. Stephenson could not be removed from State prison to Indianapolis as a witness, Gilliom pointed out this was in a civil suit. Gilliom denied saying the administration of Governor Jackson would be recorded as a great success in a speech at Vincennes, but said he did say that the administration of all the present elective officers would be so regarded. He said that Peters’ citation of the Klan stand of Dr. Carlton B. McCulloch, Democratic nominee for Governor in 1924, was no more indicative of the party’s stand today than would be James Cox’s declar-' ation for the Leaue of Nations.

EXPERT NEVER SAW TORNADO Kansas Weather Bureau Chief Is World Authority. By United Pres* KANSAS CITY, Mo., Oct. 5. Despite the fact that he never has seen the funnel-shaped cloud of a tornado, S. D .Flora, Kansas section chief for the United States weather bureau, is regarded by bureau officials as the world’s authority on tornae'es. He has the largest collection of tornado pictures in existance-seventy-six views. The collection of the United States weather ranks next in size. Flora declares a tornado, despite its tremendous power, does not blow a building to pieces. A mighty explosion', rivaling the bursting of a grea shell, does the damage. The buildmg bursts from the inside. The average number of tornadoes which yearly visit America is about ninety. The great bulk of these occur in the immense valley between the Appalachian and Rocky Mountains, mostly through May and June. Flora believes the great Muhphysboro, 111., disaster, the greatest tornado on record. The longest known came on March2o, 1857, traveling a distance of 350 miles from a point in western Georgia, through South Carolina and into Northern Carolina. No set rules can be applied to a tornado. Flora has decided. Asa general thing, he says, however, they will travel toward the northwest, but even this rule is broken. They usually occur in the afternoon and are rarely more than two city blocks in width.

ORDER ARREST OF GRAPE JUICE FIRMJHIEFS Supplies for Easy Method of Making Wine Shut Off by U. S. Action. Sad tidings for several hundred Indianapolis business men, who have been buying prepared grape juice, removing the bung from the barrel and letting nature take her course, was contained in news of the arrest of heads of a Chicago firm selling the beverage. John R. Grable, 24, of Ft. Wayne, salesman for the United Vineyards Association of 109 N. Dearborn St., Chicago, is in the Marion County jail, facing a Federal grand jury indictment charging liquor conspiracy. Arrest Vineyard’s Chiefs George L. Winkler, deputy dry administrator, went to Chicago today to arrest Elmer F. Neibuhr, president of the United Vineyards Association; Carl A. Futter, president of the California Vineyards Association; Lester Haynes and G. T. Ross, district salesmen for the two companies, all of Chicago and to close the United Vineyards Association’s large warehouse, at 109 N. Dearborn St., Chicago. The four men were indicted by the grand jury here. The company has been operating since 1925, flooding the entire country with grape juice which, when instructions are reversed, turns into excellent wine with a high alcoholic content, Winkler said. The firm operated in this fashion, according to Winkler. Thousands of cards were sent out to business men, promising samples of wine, if returned. Instead of the samples, salesmen called on the prospects, explaining their grape juice was unfermented and warning that it must be kept at 30 degtees Fahrenheit temperature, and the keg kept tightly sealed or the grape juice might turn to wine. Confiscated order books show that several hundred prominent Indianapolis citizens, after absorbing this “warning,” sent in orders and let nature take its course. Advertisements of the company explained that the “present stock includes many of the old time favorites, such as Port, Sherry, Claret, Champaigne, Rhine, Bur-gundy,-Moselle, Riesling, Muscatel, Sauterne, Tokay and others.” Winkler Tested It While sale of unfermented grape juice is not prohibited under the Volstead law, sale of anything designed for the purpose of making intoxicating liquor is within the scope of the law, Winkler said. Winkler purchased five gallons of the grape juice from the firm by mail in working up evidence. The second day after the keg was opened, it tested 1.98 per cent alcohol. Twenty-four days later the test was 12.85, exceptionally high percentage for wine. Later tests showed even higher alcoholic content. _

Butler students prepared a huge bonfire to celebrate tonight with a pep session for the Butler-Illinois football game Saturday. They took a watchman’s old shanty from the Pennsylvania railroad tracks and pla. it in the center of the pyre. “It seemed like a good idea at one time,” said one student, “but I guess the watchman had to have some place to go out of the cold, and now the company wants us to return the house.’

Bobbie’s Gone; May Be on Way to Old Fishin ’ Hole

Lad Doesn’t Like New City So Away He Goes to See World. If you’ve ever moved into anew neighborhood where you did’nt know any of the fellers, with no place to go fishin’ and your dad’s working in another town and you don't think much of startin’ school in a strange place—maybe you know why Bobbie Cummings, 9, of 323 N. Fulton St., is missing today. Bobbie’s mother told police that they moved here from Bloomington, Ind., last Friday, and Bobbie didn’t like it at all. The mother believes the boy, clad in striped overalls, marched up the street while she was at the grocery Tuesday morning, and may have started back to Bloomington. The lad is fond of fishing, having begged his father to let him bring his rod and reel from Bloomington and the mother fears he may have gone to a river or gravel pit. Bobbie has blue eyes, unruly brown hair, and a diagonal scar across his upper lip.

BRIBE CHARGE HITSFIREMAN Lawyer Says SIOO Offered on Paving Petition. Charge that a city fireman offered him SIOO if he would sign a petition for the paving of North St. from Sherman Dr. to the Belt Railroad with asphalt, instead of with concrete, v as made by James H. Ragsdale, attorney, before the board of works today. “I willingly will appear before any authorities or the grand jury and substantiate the charge,” Ragsdale voluntarily told Board President Frank Cones, presiding over his first session since elevation to that office by Mayor Duvall’s Tuesday shakeup. Ragsdale said he did not know the fireman’s name, but would assist city officials in determining it. He said the fireman claimed to be representing the contractor vdio was low bidder on the street to be paved. Ragsdale added that the same offer was made to one of his neighbors. “I don’t favor either type of paving,” he said, “but I want to see a square deal given the people and the contractors as well.” Cones said if the charge was substantiated it appeared to be a “plain case of bribery” and that the board would investigate the matter thoroughly. Bids will be held tp on the project, he said. The city engineer had issued a preliminary order for paving the street with asphalt.

BENEFITS SEEN IN DIVORCE BY FORMER JUDGE Humane Association Is Told Sex Education Needed in Public Schools. Declarin gthat divorce is not an evil but a benefit and advocating the idea that sex education should be forwarded in grade schools, Roland W. Baggott, former judge of the Court of Domestic Relations at Dayton, Ohio, spoke before the convention of the American Humane Association today in the Severin. "Divorce is not an evil, but an aid to social progress," he said. “Marriage as an institution is sound, but it should be modernized. Widespread divorce suggests a corresponding drop in conventional marriages, but such is not the case. Ideas of marriage are going through a gradual change and are becoming better each day. “Inherited ideas of morality and fear of conservative opinion suppress and distort sex facts. The youngster gains his/ sex knowledge in allleys and barns. As he grows he gains knowledge from actual experience with women. "Often his ideas gained are distorted. The home is advanced as a school for sex knowledge, but the home has failed miserably in such function. Children should be taught exact and intimate sex facts from the time they are in grade school until they get through college,” the Judge said. “Teachers fool around now with facts bordering on the real facts. In school students study the chicken embryo In the egg. Why not study th ehuman embryo? “We make laws regulating morality. They can’t be successful. We still have the same sex instincts. We see a young man and woman spooning in the park. It is unlawful, but it should not be,” he said. “I don’t advocate free love or trial love,” he Judge went on. "But I advocate intelligent love and marriage.” The convention closes Thursday at noon.
