KIDNAP KILLER IS ON WAY TO LIFEJNPRISON Swift Justice Is Meted Out to Adolph Hotelling, Child Slayer. By United Press BAY CITY, Mich, Jan. 19. Shackled to a guard, Adolph Hotelling, model citizen of Owosso, looked at life today through the window of a moving train. At the end of his journey, he knew, were the portals of Marquette prison. A week ago Hotelling was a moral beacon in his community. He never smoked and he never drank liquor. Into his life had entered religious zeal and the happiness of rearing a large family of healthy children. Late today he will be given a number and a rough suit of clothing, a prison inmate sentenced to live his life out doing hard work in solitary confinement, because of the murder of little Dorothy Schneider. Justice had been as swift as the cerebral explosion which caused Hotelling to commit the crime. Less than forty-eight hours after his arrest for the atrocity which aroused the country, he was convicted and sentenced despite mob fury. He was hustled away from the courtroom to Saginaw in an automobile, and then rushed here early todfey and taken on a train bound for Marquette. This forenoon the train was due at Mackinaw City, where preparations were made to avoid a demonstration against the prisoner. Hotelling was crying when taken into the compartment on his train here. No one was permitted to talk to him, leaving it to the imagination whether they were tears of self pity or tears of remorse over the slaying of the child. “The details as shown by the confession and the proofs in the case almost convince me that we should have capital punishment in this State,” said Judge Fred Brennan when he imposed the life term, maximum punishment under the law. Only one untoward incident marred the smooth functioning of justice. Leslie Schneider, father of the slain girl, struck Hotelling one blow in the face before he was restrained by deputies. Before many people knew he had been taken back to Flint, Hotelling was on his way to the Marquette branch prison. Just as the crime had been one of the most atrocious in the State, so was its disposition one of the fastest in history. Brennan said he would appoint a sanity commission to examine Hotelling. If adjudged insane, he will be removed to a State hospital.

ANOTHER SLEEPLESS NIGHT You go to bed dog-tired but still no sleep, no real rest. Morning finds you a rag. One of the first effects of a poisoned system is “nerves”— restless, sleepless nights. The whole thing is traceable to our modern habits of life which put too great a burden on our vital organs, especially the liver. The liver becoming “dead” or sluggish fails to remove the toxic poisons from the blood, which then poisons the system, weakening stomach, kidneys and heart, causing high blood pressure and undermining health in general. It is universally recognized that occasionally the liver needs a little help. Nothing is better for this, say medical men, than ox gall. Ox gall is a great natural stimulant for the human liver, promoting its normal active functioning so essential to real health. Dioxol tablets are genuine ox gall in dainty and tasteless form, each tablet representing 10 drops of pure ox gall. To be sure of getting the genuine ox gall, be sure of getting Dioxol. They cost less than 2c each at good druggists, and a few bring new days. —Advertisement.

HOSPITAL NEEDS ARE EXPLAINED TO SLACK Mayor and Holtzman Inspect City Institution as Board Guests. Mayor L. Ert Slack and City Corporation Counsel John W. Holtzman made an inspection tour of city hospital today and were guests of Superintendent William A. Doeppers and the city health board at luncheon. Dr. Doeppers explained the dire need for added facilities at the institution, particularly anew fourstory building to house 100 beds vacated by condemnation of the old main building by the State fire marshal. The building would cost about $500,000 to $600,000, including equipment, he said. The city council some time ago passed an ordinance providing a $1,700,000 bond issue for hospital buildings and improvements, only to find that It was illegal. They have never acted on anew one, which was first presented and then withdrawn. FOLEY BURIAL FRIDAY Prominent City Democrat Died at His Home Tuesday.

UTILITY GOLIATH MEETS DAVID IN GUISEOFWALSH Lone Warrior Combating High-Paid Industry Aids in Probe Demand. By ROBERT TALLEY WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.—A1l the resources that a $15,000,000,000 industry can command and the best brains that money can buy were arraigned today against one gray-haired, determined man. They clashed before the Senate committee on interstate commerce. The lone individual was Senator Thomas J. Walsh (Dem.) Montana, and his opponents were the representatives of the Nation's vast public utility corporations which he is trying to make the subject of a Senate investigation. Wants Study of Rates He wants the Senate to study rates paid by millions of Americans for power, lights and gas and the flotation of utility securities in staggering sums. Resisting Walsh are the National Utilities Association, the National Electric, Light Association, the American Gas Association, the American Electric Railway Association and their lobbyists. Once reported in their trade journals as not objecting to an investigation, they are fighting now on the grounds that no need for a Federal inquiry exists. ■Watson Heads Committee The decision lies with the committee headed by Senator Wataon, Indiana Republican and presidential hopeful. Arrayed against Walsh are a big group of corporation attorneys, including two former United States Senators. They are Irvine L. Lenroot of Wisconsin, representing the National Utilities Association, and Charles S. Thomas of Colorado, representing the American Cities Company.

MAYOR CASE BRIEF IS BRANDED CONTEMPT Holmes Attorneys Claim Salsbury Has No Right in Suit. Action of Elias D. Salsbury, Indianapolis attorney, who last week as a friend of the court filed brief with the Appellate Court in which he declared the question of Ira M. Holmes’ pretentions to the mayoralty was moot, was branded as contempt of court by attorneys for Holmes in their motion filed Wednesday. Salsbury in his brief declared the question of Holmes’ claim to the mayor’s chair was settled when the council elected Claude E. Negley mayor pro tern. The Holmes motion asks the brief be dismissed on the grounds that Salsbury was not a party to the action, was not asked by the court, is presumptuous and discourteous and is an intruder and intermeddler. His action infers, they charge, that the court is not informed in the case and practically constitutes contempt.

Council Seeks Attorney After Slack Ouster Move

Legal Problems Perplexing Members, With No One to Give Opinion. The question “Who will advise city council on legal matters?” drew humorous comment at city hall today. Council confronted several provoking legal problems at the session Monday night when an attempt was made to oust Mayor L. Ert Slack, and found itself without an attorney. Assistant City Attorney Don T. Roberts, ousted by the Slack administration, always attended council meetings to advise the members but his successor, Smiley Chambers, did not appear at the session. Council President Otis E. Bartholomew wished for legal counsel several times during the meeting. “I always have contended that if anybody ever needed an attorney this council certainly does,” Bartholomew said. Bartholomew asked if there was a disinterested attorney in the crowd who could give an impartial opinion. Someone cited Roberts, who was leaning over the railing. “I’m interested in the case, but I think I can give an impartial opinion,” Roberts replied giving his views. Councilmen and City Clerk William A. Boyce Jr., finally dug out their rule books and settled the

CASE REVEALS QUEER TWIST IN SON’S LOVE Man in Columbus CourtCold to Mother —Made Own Way at 7. By Times Special COLUMBUS, Ind., Jan. 19. Charles McMillan, 31, Martinsville,feels more affection for a woman,.. who took him into her home when he was 7 than he does for his own mother. This twist of filial love was revealed in Bartholomew Circuit Court here when McMillan’s sister, Mrs. Carrie Cheatham, sought an order compelling him to aid in supporting their mother, Mrs. Anna McMillan, 64. The son declared that at the age of 7 he was thrown out upon thei world to make his own way, and that as Mrs. Rheulora Birk had giv- • en him a home and a mother’s care until he married, he felt he owed his mother nothing. During one period of twenty-one years, McMillan lived here, but did not visit his mother. Questioned by the court on this point, McMillan said: “Well, I just drifted away. I always thought of Mrs. Birk as my mother, I guess.” Judge Julian Sharpnack took final decision in the case under advisement, but ordered McMillan to pay $1 weekly toward supporting his ; mother until further notice.
