Poor Farm Hash Ordered Improved After Protest

Marion County poor farm hash, complained of by inmates as too weak, now has chunks of meat in it, following a Times story explaining the food complaints, it was learned today. Orders have gone from county commissioners to Superintendent J. V. Carter to quit grinding the meat, as he did formerly, and to leave it in chunks visible to the aged inmates. •Superintendent Carter also was instructed to put more meat in the hash, but the budget of $32,000 a year is so small this may be difficult to fulfill, his son, Byron Carter, said. Meatless days were too frequent, the inmates complained, and the hash was too much like soup. Carter said the meat was ground to pre-

vent waiters from giving more to favorites. “They can see it now,” said Carter, “and I guess they're satisfied.” The budget is so small, such things as steaks are out of the question, the meat diet being con*fined to boiled side meat, a stew now and then, hash and then more stew. The kitchen facilities are such that there can be no fried meat. The Carter family gets a total of $3lO monthly in salaries for the operation of the poor farm, claims on file at the courthouse show. This is divided as follows: Superintendent Carter, $125 Lizzie Carter, matron, SSO; Byron Carter, engineer, S9O; Catherine Carter, assistant matron, $45. The monthly salary claims total from $1,200 to $1,300, the other SI,OOO being divided between a score or more lesser employes such as cooks, seamstresses, gardners, farmers and dairymen. These receive from sls to S6O monthly, and board and lodging.

FEAR ANOTHER MURDER IF GIRL KILLERESCAPES Evanston Lives in Terror as Teacher’s Slayer Evades Searchers. Bn United Press EVANSTON, 111., Aug. 10.—A pall of anxiety hung over Evanston homes today as police sought to sift out scattered clews that might lead to solution of the mystery which surrounds the brutal murder of Miss Jennie Constance. Fears of another tragedy if the killer remained at large led to formation of a citizen’s committee of five to give any financial or scientific aid the police might need. The murder, which destroyed the usual peace of the fashionable Chicago suburb, took place Tuesday night, when Miss Contance was beaten to death with a piece of iron pipe while returning to her home from Northwestern University Library. Rewards totalling $2,000 were offered. Walter Dill Scott, president of Northwestern, where Miss Constance was a summer student, offered SI,OOO in behalf of the university and assured police of his cooperation. Miss Constance’s body will be taken to Cumberland, Wis., her birthplace, for burial. Her mother and a sister, rooming with her here while she studied for a Ph. D. degree, were prostrated. Police were attempting to determine the source of the piece of pipe which was found near the body on the lawn of an Evanston home. Finding of the woman’s purse a block from the scene of the crime led to attempts to learn what money and articles she had carried. Robbery virtually was discredited as a motive. Some twenfy-five characters were rounded up, it was said, for ques--1 tioning.
