KOKOMO BANK SUSPECTS GET TREAT’ IN JAIL Howard County Again Fails to Extradite William H, Arnold and Son, PROPOSES FINISH FIGHT Counsel Asserts Two Will Fight Return for Trial to ‘Last Ditch.’ B:i Times kpcc'al KOKOMO. Ind.. June 4—William H. Arnold and his son, Glenwood, wanted here for trial on charges of wrecking the American Trust, Company bank more than twp years aeo. are favored guests at the countv jail in St. Augustine, Fla., according" to Howard county authorities, who returned here today from Florida after an unsuccessful effort to return the Arnolds for trial. Virgil Coflel. deputy prosecutor of Howard county, and Sheriff Clifton Small made the trip They talked with Arnold and his son on the porch of the sheriff’s home. According to the officials, the two appear more like guests than prisoners. Counsel Curbs Talk W. H. Henderson, attorney for the Arnolds, was present throughout the interview and would permit very little conversation with his clients. The elder Arnold appears in good health, officials said, and instead of being in strained financial circumstances as described in some reports here, is well supplied with money. They say he is acting as a trustee in handling funds of various enterprises and estates, a practice he followed while head of the bank here. Henderson told the officials that the Arnolds would fight extradition “to the last ditch.” He revealed that some person in Kokomo keeps him in touch with every move made here in the and that he received a telegram stating the day and hour when Coffel and Small would leave for Florida in their latest attempt to obtain father and son as prisoners. Bitter feeling against his son-in-law. Frank S. Owens, was expressed bv the elder Arnold. “I was mighty convenient for Owens and he dumped everything on me." Arnold is quoted. Owens. former president of the bank here, was acquitted a few months ago in Clinton circuit couit nt Frankfort, on a charge of embezzlement in connection with the closing. His wife has sued for divorce. With their two children, she is now living in Florida. Hurls Stalling Charge Coffel charges Florida authorities with stalling in the Arnold case, pointing out that the executive warrant in the case can not be found and quoting the Florida attorneygeneral to the effect that “As long as a man has money to hire a lawyer. he usually can find some technicality in Florida law.” Carrving the fight for exiradition direct to Governor D. F. Carleton. the Howard county official was informed nothing could be done as the case had its inception during the administration ot Iris predecessor. John W. Martin. However, cooperation was promised Coffel. A habeas corpus action on behalf of the Arnolds, the second move of its kind, is now on file, paving the wav for an appeal to the Florida supreme court in case lower court action is against them. The previous action was dismissed because it was not filed at the proper time, local authorities understand that If the case comes before the supreme court a ruling will be final.

Money Is Expected to Be Available as Soon as Aid Bill Passes. BV PAI L R. MALLON. Veiled Press Staff Correspondent t WASHINGTON, June 4.—The ad--1 ministration plans to make $200,000.- ! 000 available to help the sagging ! farm markets immediately after the. 1 pending farm bill is signed by the ! president, the United Press learned ; today from a usually authoritative ! course.

Successor to Edison Must Be Born, Not Made
Notre Dame Educator Says Characteristic Innate, Not Acquired. This is another article in the scries by Indiana educators on the qualifications and attainments that should characterize the youth who is to be seieefed as the protege and. successor of Thomas A. Edison. The Timfs is aiding Governor Harry G. Leslie in making the selection. BY J. A. CAPARO Professor of Electrical Engineering at the : University of Notre Dame. The problem of selecting a young man to succeed and continue the work of the great inventor, Thomas A. Edison, is rather difficult to solve. There is no doubt that if a man is to be selected to the pattern, of Edison, such man must be born, not made. The characteristics wluch have made Edison so famous are innate, not acquired. If you look over his long list of inventions some salient facts are clear. He has extraordinary power of observation, he has ability to adapt thing** his uncanny intuition of relation to quantities, his untiring efforts and unlimited capacity for work. If we part from the principle that such man Edison now exists, the difficulty would be in recognizing his latent qualities and the characteristics which would adapt him to carry on the work of Edison. If such a man exists, he must be a genius and only in him can we combine the qualities of Edison which would make him persevere in his work and follow his theories to the end. On the other hand, if a man Is to be educated and taught the characteristics of the great inventor, he undoubtedly must be a student of the science, who must love the study of electricity for its own sake. I am tempted to say that due to the fact that modern developments in electricity lie in the conception of infinitesimal quantities, he must have not only the qualities of a]

CENTER TAXES T 0 BEMUSED County Council Will Boost Levy in Fall. The Center township tax levy will be boosted this fall by county council when it meets to fix the 1930 rate, it was learned today. Councilmen will take this step to pay off $500,000 indebtedness that has accrued in the last eight years. County officials have been selling temporary bonds from year to year to provide for the debt which started when money was borrow'ed prior to 1922 to pay current expenses and road costs. At the council session this spring it was agreed to sell ten-year bonds to settle the deficit. Many of the bonds were sold, but banks, after examination of the transcripts, refused to accept the bonds. County Attorney Clinton H. Givan declared the law r makes it mandatory for an increase in taxes to pay the debt. The present Center township rate is $2.70 for each SIOO worth of taxable property. This was the final rate after the state tax board sliced it 2Vi cents.
mathematician, but also of a practical mathematician. Edison himself is not a mathematician, but his intuitive conception of the relation of quantities is one of the characteristics that make him a genius. In conclusion, we wish to repeat that in our humble opinion, if a man is to be selected fully to succeed Edison, such a man must be born, not made.

'“Judge, there was some horse meat in the sandwiches,’ the restaurant man admitted. T mixed horse meat and rabbit meat on a fifty-fifty basis,’ “ ’You meani asked the judge, ‘half rabbit meat and half horse meat?’ “ -Not exactly,’ the defendant replied, ‘it was fifty-fifty, like I said—one horse, one rabbit,’” Smoot smiled a pale smile. What the President said or did not say is not a matter of record. “Asa matter of fact,” Senator Allen continued, after the laughter had subsided, ‘T believe that applies to the measure as a whole. If the senate enacts the tariff bill as it came from the house, the President ought to proclaim a day of prayer, asking that he, the President, be given courage to veto the bill.” President Hoover’s reaction to this suggestion was not reported in the senate circles where the story is being told.
