PITIFUL SUM IS SPENT FOR AID i OF POOR FARM Less Than $6,000 Is Used Over 4-Year Period, Records Show. Less than $6,000 has been spent over a period of four years to keep the Marion county infirmary buildings in a habitable condition, a study of records of Indiana Taxpayers’ Association revealed today. This sum, clearly picturing efforts county commissioners have made to alleviate crowded and insanitary conditions of long standing, includes separate expenditures of SSOO in 1928 and 1930, plus another ‘‘improvement” in 1929 of $4,300 worth of paint, records show. Equipment improvements at the infirmary over this period, according to records, amount to $12,000, providing in most instances for increase of volume of facilities rather than quality. 370 Crowded Into Plant The Times recently disclosed that 370 male inmates have been crowded into a building originally intended to house 200, and as result, the dilapidated men’s quarters were condemned by State Fire Marshal Alfred M. Hogston. To revamp general living conditions at the infirmary, County Commissioner John E. Shearer today followed a suggestion of Criminal Judge James A. Collins, announcing plans were being considered to relocate the poor farm. Under Collins’ plan, commissoners would sell the present site and buildings. purchasing adidtional ground at the Marion County Hospital for the Insane at Julietta, to bring the two institutions under joint management. Shearer stepped forward today with his latest solution of the lamentable poor farm situation, approving Collins’ plan.

Doubt Shearer’s Sincerity Persons familiar with operation of the commissioners* office doubt Shearer’s sincerity in offering either solution. As board president, Shearer announced last week the board was prepared to build six new buildings at the present infirmary site. Ordinance calling for a $198,000 bond issue to finance this program was to have been considered by the county council Friday. Councilmen also must act on Hogston’s order to vacate the men’s quarters within the next three months. Commissioners to date have taken no definite steps to comply with the vacation order. Commissioner George Snider today said the board had not discussed relocating the poor farm at Julietta. Snider claims he has been the only active force on the board to bring about poor farm relief.

LAW CREATING TWO COURTS HELD VALID Separat., Jirant, Delaware Benches Ruled Legal Without Signing. Indiana's supreme court has upheld the creation of separate superior courts for Grant and Delaware counties by ruling Monday that the 1929 act creating the courts became a law, despite the Governor’s failure to sign the bill. Unsigned bills, handed down during the last two days of legislative session, automatically are vetoed. The question in the court case was whether Sunday counts in the last two-day ruling and the supreme court held that it does. This ruling put the bill in the Governor’s hands in- time so that he was required either to veto or sign it, the court held. His failure to take either action within five days after the bill’s receipt makes it a law, the high court ruled. “WAS MISERABLE UNTIL KONJOLA RELIEVED ME” See What New and Different Medicine Did For Indianapolis Lady, Age 75. What a boon and a blessiing Konjola, the new medicine of thirty-two ingredients, has proved to be to thousands who found in Konjola their first and only relief.

" —v

MRS. MARY SUTTON

How many have exclaimed: “How glad I am that I put Konjola to the test.” Konjola works swiftly, all its ingredients working together to cleanse and stimulate the ailing organs, and to rid the system of poisons and impurities. See what Konjola did for Mrs. Mary Sutton, 1961 Thalman avenue, Indianapolis. Then talk your health troubles over with the Konjola Man at the Hook Dependable Drug Store, Illinois and Washington streets, and hear what Konjola has done. Then profit by experience like that of Mrs. Sutton, who said: “Even though I am 75 years of age, I feel that there are many happy years ahead of me since Konjola relieved me of my ills. About eighteen months ago I had a general break-down. I could not eat without getting sick. My stomach bloated terribly, and I had severe heart palpitations and smothering spells. My kidneys were weak and I had to get up several times every night. Various treatments that I tried did no good. Konjola gave me my first relief, and I surely was miserable until Konjola relieved me. This fine medicine quickly ended all my health troubles, and I have only .the highest praise for Konjola.” Konjola works quickly; one does not have long to wait for results, but a complete course of from six to eight bottles is recommended for best results. The Konjola man is at the Hook Dependable Drug Store. Illinois and Washington streets, Indianapolis, where daily he is meeting the public and explaining the merits of Konjola.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

a posse of state and county officers, formed after the Merchants National bank at Battle Creek was held up and State Trooper Burke, 24, was slain while attempting to arrest the bandits. Sighted by the posse near Howe, Martin and Gallagher attempted to escape in *heir automobile, which skidded from the road and overturned. They were unhurt. Members of the posse opened fire. Gallagher surrendered after Martin shot in the leg, dropped to the ground. Ignoring the fact the arrests were made in Indiana, the officers rushed the men across the state line, and it was said that both confessed in the Jail here that they had robbed the bank and kiUed Burke. All the money taken from the bank, about $4,000, was found in the wreckage of their automobile. Burke was on duty near Sturgis, Mich., when he received a radio report of the Battle Creek holdup. A few minutes later he stopped Martin and Gallagher and tried to question them. Drawing a pistol, Gallagher, police said, ordered Burke to get in the machine. Instead, Burke started to fight and was shot.

TRACTION PLAN STUDY PLEDGED BY DEMOCRATS Candidates for Legislature Adopt Resolution on Insull Program. Careful consideration of the proposed plan for the operation of the Indianapolis street railway system, which involves transfer of control to the Insull Interests and several new features in transportation management, was pledged today by Marion county Democratic candidates for the state legislature. Without committing themselves to the plan proposed, or to any other scheme which may be brought to their attention, the candidates pledged themselves to safeguard all

legitimate Interests and rights of the public. When the resolution was adopted without a tlL'sentlng vote. It drew from Walter Myers, one of the candidates, the comment: “Not having to disavow machine connection and repudiate boss control, we can study seriously the civic problems of Indianapolis while our opponents are so busy telling everybody that their hands are not tied by Coffin, that I doubt if they have heard of the transportation plan.” Recently Republican legislative candidates held a rump session at which they declared their hands were not tied by any person and repudiated Coffin control. Nothing in their resolutions pointed to any consideration of the transportation problems. Democratic candidates declared they had been questioned as to their attitude on the proposed plan and were unable to take any position because of the complexity of the proposition and the fact that it will require much study. The reorganization plan will come under the perview of the legislature because an enabling act is required.
