JUDGES’ RULINGS WILL NOT HALT gaming: raids Worley Orders ‘Sport’ Broken Up Whether or Not Any Convictions Result. “The rulings of municipal court judges will not stop the arrests of persons we know are gamblers,’’ Police Chief Claude M. Worley said again today as he ordered members of the police department to continue their war on gamblers. “Whether we gain conviction or not we still can make it so inconvenient for gamblers that eventually we will break up the commercialized gambling in Indianapolis,” he declared. “No Signs of Gambling” Municipal Judge Clifton R. Cameron again denounced methods used by police in arresting 124 persons in raids Saturday night, in two cases before him Wednesday afternoon. He discharged five persons arrested in a poolroom operated by Claude Poland, 48, of 18 S. Capitol Ave., and fifteen in a poolroom operated by John Overton, at 1318 Va N. Senate Ave. “I understand there is- gambling in Indianapolis,” he told Lieut. Patrick O’Connor, who testified he had found the five men playing dominoes in Poland’s poolroom. “Go and get the gamblers and I’ll punish them, but do not .bring In private citizens who are only playing dominoes in a public place.” When Sergt. Michael Morrissey testified he found no signs of gambling in Overton’s poolroom because they had time to clear them away before he was admitted, Cameron discharged Overton on a charge of keeping a gaming house and the fifteen on visiting charges. “This Isn’t Russia” “This is the United States—and these persons have certain rights which the Constitution says we must respect,” said Cameron. “You can’t just lock them in jail to satisfy the whims of certain officials like they do in Russia. Before you make any more arrests be sure you have evidence warranting the arrests.” Members of the safety board emphatically declared today that they would back Worley in his campaign to rid Indianapolis of gamblers. The court action would have no effect on plans for future raids, Fred Connell, president, said. WINS ON TRADE NAME “Lik-a-Maid” Upheld in Appeal by “Kitchen Maid” Makers.

HARD ARTERIES Hardening arteries indicate high blood pressure, which means that the blood in the heart and blood vessels is under too great a tension —a condition which may end life suddenly. High blood pressure, indicated by bard arteries, heart palpitation, dizziness and difficulty in breathing, is the penalty of our abnormal liabits of living. We place too great a strain on the vital organs, especially the liver. The liver becoming “limp” or sluggish, fails to cleanse the blood of the toxic poisons formed in food waste. The whole system then becomes toxic, with stomach, kidneys, heart and blood vessels affected. It is generally recognized that the liver occasionally needs a little j,.. help. There is nothing better for this, as medical men know, than a little ox gall. Ox gall has been found to be a great stimulant for the liver. The genuine, pure ox gall is to be had, dainty and tasteless, in the form of Dioxol tablets. Each tablet represents 10 drops of pure ox gall and costs less than 2c at good druggists.

BARE PACT TO BLOCK TILT IN LIGHTCD. TAX Agreement With Officials in 1927 Made to Put Over Refinancing Plan. Two members of the State tax board and power company representatives agreed at a hearing in 1927 not to raise the 1926 Indianapolis Power and Light Company tax valuation figures because it might halt a financing plan then under way. This has been revealed by the company’s appeal to have its 1927 tax valuation reduced. Details of this agreement made by John J. Brown, chairman of the tax board, and Philip Zoercher, member, were narrated by the opposing member, Judge Willis Hough, at a hearing Wednesday. Hough said that the 1926 valuation was placed at $17,230,000, based on the income return of the power company reported to the tax board. Then he learned that the utility report to the public service commission showed that more than SI,OOO 000 should have been added to the personal property report, he said. Agreement Is Reached! Power company officials pleaded at a hearing called by the Tax Board to add the new figures, that a financing plan to place all of the common stock of the company into the formed Indianapolis Light and Power Corporation, was under way and that to increase the tax valuation would spoil the financing plan. It was agreed, Brown said that in computing the 1927 valuation the new figure would be added. Consolidation of the Indianapolis Light and Heat Company with the Merchants Heat and Light has resulted in a total personal property tax valuation of $23,607,000. the tax board claims, while Carl Mote, attorney for the power company, argues that the value is $20,000,000. Argue Appeal Right Lost Mote further argues that a promise to the public service commission that if the merger weie authorized the rates would be reduced has been carried out and the company can show a decrease m income of approximately $400,000. He promised the tax commissioners that he would be able to present a sworn statement to this effect within a few days. Brown however argued that the power company lost its right of appeal to the board for a lower tax valuation rate when it did not file such an appeal within ten days following notice of the increased valuation. Disagree on Income Tax The power company endeavors to show that the total amount of personal property should be computed on a basis of 10 per tent of the net earnings. Net earnings of the company. minus income tax, was $2,$31,268.95. This figure was reached by the income of seven months, from February to August, inclusive, projected ever a period of twelve months. Members of the tax commission disagree with Mote that the income tax should be deducted. Mote has declared, however, that the power company will be willing to accept a valuation of $21,000,000 at the most.

If RHEUMATIC BEGIN ON SALTS Says We Must Keep Feet Dry, Avoid Exposure, Eat No Sweets. Stay off the damp ground, avoid exposure, keep feet dry, eat no sweets of any kind for a while, drink lots of water and above all take a spoonful of iad Salts occasionally to help keep down uric and toxic acid. Rheumatism is caused by poison toxins, called acids, which are generated in the bowels and absorbed into the blood. It is the function of the kidneys to filter this acid from the blood and cast it out in the urine. The pores of the skin are also a means of freeing the blood of this impurity. In damp and chilly, cold weather the skin pores are closed, thus forcing the kidneys to do double work; they become weak and sluggish and fail to eliminate this poison, which keeps accumulating and circulating through the system, eventually settling in the joints and muscles, causing stiffness, soreness and pain, called rheumatism. At the first twinge of rheumatism get from any pharmacy about four ounces of Jad Salts; put a tablespoonful in a glass of water and drink before breakfast each morning for a week. This is helpful to neutralize acidity, remove body waste also stimulate the kidneys, thus helping to rid the blood of these rheumatic poisons. Jad Salts is inexpensive and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and is used with excellent results by thousands of folks who are subject to rheumatism.—Advertisement!

LIBERTY FIGHT IS STARTED BY GEORGEREMUS Insane Hospital Head Holds Authority to Release Wealthy Patient. By United Press LIMA, Ohio, Jan. 26.—George Remus, former millionaiare rum-run-ner acquitted of the murder of his wife, Imogene, on the grounds of insanity, may make a bid for freedom from the State hospital for the criminally insane here this afternoon. This was indicated following a conference between Superintendent W. H. Vorbau, of the hospital, and Remus’ attorneys, Charles H. Elston, Cincinnati, and Francis W. Durbin, Lima. Vorbau is empowered under the State laws to liberate Remus at any time the former bootleg king is declared cured. Vorbau, alone, shall determine whether a patient is sane. Remus has been a model inmate, has shown no signs of insanity, and on the strength of this behavior, Elston and Durbin will seek his release—permanently—on a writ of habeas corpus, it was said. Remus was committed to Lima by Judge W. H. Lueders of the Cincinnati Probate Court who, while finding him sane, declared he is “too dangerous to be at large.” Elston, Durbin and Vorbau held a conference with Common Pleas Judge Becker here late yesterday, and Judge Becker, it was said, will consider a habeas corpus petition this afternoon. A hearing probably would be held Thursday. The verdict of the jury which acquitted Remus made his commitment to Lima mandatory. son luTtakes poison Mother Prepares to ‘Be With’ Boy Who She Fears Can’t Recover. “There is no greater love than a mother's” said a wise man long ago, and Mrs. Bertha Andis, 29, of 547 Bell St., proved the saying Thursday when she attempted suicide by taking poison so she could be with her son. James, 11, who is suffering with tuberculosis and who doctors say will not recover. Mrs. Andis was taken to city hospital where her condition this morning was reported as “fair.” The boy will be taken to Sunnyside Sanitarium immediately for treatment in an effort to save his life.
