EAST SIDE GROUPS DEMAND WOMAN’S PRISON REMOVAL

FIRETRAP LABEL

IS STAMPED ON OLD BUILDINGS Institution Held Hazard to Life, Overcrowded, in Resolution. BILL IN LEGISLATURE Rural Site Is Favored and Appropriation of $320,000 Asked. With removal of the Indiana noman's prison provided In a bill introduced today In the general assembly, east side civic leagues announced adoption of a resolution condemning the institution as an overcrowded and dangerous flretrap. Removal of the prison from Randolph and New York streets to a rural site, and appropriation of $320,000 for new buildings and land are provided in a measure submitted to the legislature by Representative Russell Dean (Dem., Marion). The bill would provide for appointment of four citizens by the Governor, one of whom would be a trustee of the prison, to select anew site. No Pay for Commission Members of the commission would serve without pay, with no more than two members of the same political faith. Prisoners of the state farm, state prison and the reformatory would be employed in the construction. The bill further stipulates that SIO,OOO shall be available by April 1, 1931, for taking an option on anew site, and authorizing sale of the present site. Legislation broadening the general condemnation act was embraced in a bill introduced by Representative John Bright Webb <Dem., Johnson and Marion) for the benefit of the city of Indianapolis. Under the terms of Webb’s measure, the board of works is given increased power, because of the “necessity of so much condemnation of property In connection with street openings and street wldenings.” Track Elevation Restricted t Boards would have the right to hear and determine the question of damages before preparing the assessment list of benefits, thus avoiding unnecessary appeals. Other legislation included bills restricting the track elevation act of 1927 to Indianapolis; allowing humane societies in first and second class cities to receive revenue from dog tax funds; giving the state tax board right to make horizontal decreases and increase in units smaller than counties, and repealing the three-mile limit gravel road law. The house voted to postpone indefinitely action on two pending measures, one restricting rights of banks In trusteeships and the other placing Morris Plan banks under jurisdiction of the state banking department. Two pending bills were withdrawn. age in doubt,Youth SAVED FROM GALLOWS Former Student Accused of Holdup Murder Gets Life Term.

HOUSE ACTS TO PAY EXPENSES OF COMMISSIONS Resolution Passed, Gives Traveling Money to Two Groups. Traveling expenses of the members of the state commissions on taxation and school aid will be paid if a house concurrent resolution introduced today by Representative Delph L. McKesson < Marshall), Democratic floor leader, is passed by the senate. The resolution received the approval of the house with but one dissenting vote, cast by Representative Fred S. Galloway (Dem., Marion) who had asked it be postponed until the members of the commission had filed their verified and itemized expense account. State to Pay Expenses McKesson explained that although the 1929 session of the general assembly had created four commissions, two of them, one investigating crime prevention and control and the other to study railroad problems in the state, were composed of men directly concerned with the topics of discussion; while the remaining two commissions, tax and state aid, and as their members men whose everyday pursuits were in no manner connected with the problems. “Therefore I deem it but just that their expenses in performing this valuable work be borne by the state,” McKesson declared. He was joined in soliciting support for the resolution by Representatives James M. Knapp (Rep., Wayne), Republican floor leader. McKesson declared expenses of the members of the state aid commission were reported to be slightby more than S9OO and that for the tax conference would be little larger. Report Bills Favorable The house passed to engrossment the bill which would amend the legal holiday law to protect the validity of payments and acceptances of checks and other instruments or transactions on holidays or Saturday afternoons when institutions elect to remain open. Although Representative Jacob Weiss (Dem., Marion) attempted to obtain the indefinite postoponement of the bill which would repeal the 1927 act defining cognovit notes, it was passed on to engrossment after a voice vote. Among the seven house bills which were reported favorably by committees were two measures sponsored by the Indiana State Federation of Labor, specifying that all prison-made products must bear a label showing they were made in such institutions and another limiting the use of prison made articles to state institutions and political sub-divisions. Man Hit by Truck Arrested Cut above the left eye when struck by a truck at Michigan and Delaware streets Tuesday, Edward Carroll, 27, of 1423 Deloss street, today was held on charges of drunkenness.

HOODOO BURIED IN RAVENSWOOD

Citizens Announce Peace Pact; Storm Center Out of Community. Ravenswood’s tenacious political hoodoo has been scared away at last. From Tuesday night’s town board meeting come reports that all will be peaceful hereafter in the little community which has been troublebound for months. “We hope to have everything running smoothly by next week,” is the promise of Charles Ford, unofficial mayor, with the announcement that C. R. Newkirk was chosen a member of the town board, succeeding Robert Stamm, storm center, who has gone to California. Vote to Pay Bills A motion was carried to pay all the town’s bills and to settle all affairs with Mayor Ford at the helm. The peace pact, verbally agreed upon by more than fifteen residents attending the meeting, means that the town now can spend the money which for months has been tied up in banks because of political disagreement. What with injunction suits, restraining orders and mandate suits, Ravenswood has had no little trouble in the last year. More than once Indianapolis authorities have been called upon to settle the village’s political differences. Ends Fight in Courts Deputy sheriffs have intervened in attempts of one faction to “impeach” Ford on a charge of neglect of duty. City courts have been called upon to decide who was w-ho as Ravenswood marshal when a charge of impersonating an officer was changed to dual claimants to the past. Ravenswood residents went without street lights for weeks because the town couldn't pay its light bills. Roads were impassable. The board's hands were tied. Postmaster Is Reappointed By United Prenn WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.—Howard B. Kurtz has been reappointed postmaster at Conneaut, O.

SEPARATION OF 30 YEARS ENDS City Man Finds Long-Lost Mother Living Here. William C. Wysong and Robert William Conn, both of whom are one person living at 5719 Rawls avenue, has met his mother after a separation of more than thirty years, during which time they both have lived in Indianapolis.

In Legislature 50 Years Ago

By United Press AS long ago as 1881, people were concerned over the problem of capital punishment, and the question still remains unsettled. The legislature of that year received a petition from the Friends Yearly Meeting asking repeal of the law- providing for capital punishment. Grazing, fifty years ago, was an important industry in the state, and was threatened in many localities by predatory dogs. Asa means of curbing the danger, a bill was introduced in the house of representatives providing penalties for persons keeping “worthless and sheep killing dogs.”

Case of Girl, 15, Who Became Wife of Man, 56, Typical of What Happens Under Starvation’s Lash. By limes Staff Correspondent CLINTON, Ind., Jan. 20.—Soupbone Hollow, In Clinton, might well be called Tragedy Gulch. Here, on a winding lane which inhabitants call Poverty Row, is the backwash of more than a year of business depression. Unpainted, dilapidated shacks, the gaping holes in their warped boards stuffed with rags or covered with pieces of tin, old boxes, scraps of linoleum or even wads of paper, line both sides of the unpaved, muddy street. Rusty stove pipes jut their way from rooftops, flaunting a smoky banner that is the last gesture of defiance to an uncaring world. There isn’t a brick chimney to the block. One sign of plenty can be found in Soupbone Hollow; the piles of coal which litter the ground in front of each of these homes. It is coal that Clinton can’t sell that they might work to mine more coal and eat. Cast willy-nilly into the glare of legislative inquiry through their utter need, a need that is there despite statements that there is no destitution in Indiana, one finds the inhabitants of these shabby homes still clinging to the last remnants of the Scotch pride which was theirs in times of less adve: sity than now. For each of these families once was prosperous. Even today they don’t like investigators poking around their homes. They don’t like to exhibit poverty. It is through no desire for charity that they have reported their condition to township officials or various organizations. It is a question of starvation; they want work. To patrol Soupbone Hollow with a Clinton expert on poverty—for most of the people in Clinton today are experts in poverty—is to realize the straits to which this once thriving community has come. Girls Marry to Live Stories of girls of 14, 15, 16, who have married or have been married to immature youths who had a job or elderly men who had a home to offer are plentiful here. In one case of a 15-year-old girl, the marriage was to a boy who was working for $6 a week. He lost his job the next week, and both are on the county. Another case is that of a 15-year-old girl who was married to a 56-year-old man with four children. Two of the children were older than she was. But she has a home, warm clothing, plenty to eat. Such is their desperation. Take the case of Thomas Lawyer, a World war veteran, who was wounded in action. He has two children; both girls. His major pride is that both these girls passed their classes in school with the highest of averages. But he hasn’t any school books for them for the next term. He has no work; he has no income, the family is destitute. Wounded Veteran Suffers He would go away and try to find work, he said, if he had a good pair of shoes and some chance of transportation. But without either he must stay and suffer . . . “Clinton coal must be sold,” is the answer of bankers, merchants, lawyers and even the large number of bankrupts in this Vermilion county town. “Until it is sold, there isn’t any hope, because it is the sole source of Clinton. “Talk of continuing relief from our township authorities is useless. There isn’t any money, because no one can pay taxes. We have lost 5,000 of our 13,000 population in two years. Unless something happens, the exodus this spring will be in the form of evacuation, for people can not live on nothing.” In the Air Weather conditions at 9 a. m.: / Northwest wind. 7 miles an hour; barometric pressure, 30.19 at sea level; temperature, 15; ceiling, unlimited; visibility, 10 miles; field good.

ROAD WORK TO HELP JOBLESS IN ARKANSAS Fifteen-Mile Paving Stretch in Poverty-Stricken Area to Be Laid at Once. BY MERRILL E. COMPTON United Pres* Staff Correspondent BRINKLEY, Ark., Jan. 21.—The city street gang—a rake and broom crew that was put to work several weeks ago as an aid to unemployment —probably wil become an army of workers within a few r weeks. Steam shovels, dump trucks, cement mixers and other machinery will be brought here for the construction of a fifteen-mile stretch of paving that wili go through this town. The project is expected to provide work for many destitute farmers and unemployed laborers. Let Contract Today The contract for the road work, to be let in Little Rock today, specifies that Arkansas workers be used on the job. The construction is being rushed to alleviate unemployment and is part of the state and federal government’s road building campaign. Brinkley, the half-way point between Memphis and Little Rock, is surrounded by cotton plantations and rice fat-ms. Unemployment because of the closing of railroad shops, lumber mills and a few local industries has added to \he want which has become acute during the past ninety days. 4,090 Families in Need Red Cross officials estimate 4,000 families in the county are in need of help. Most fortunate of the residents is the rice farmer, who, despite the drought, had a good crop during the past year and received a fair price for his produce. .Many of the cotton planters and their tenants or share-croppers, however, are appealing to the Red Cross for help. At Clarendon, county seat and one of the towns worst hit by the flood in 1927, cotton is the principal crop and many hundred farmers, their families and tenants receive daily rations from the Red Cross.

DEMAND USE OF CITY LABOR FOR HOSPITAL HERE Veterans’ Bureau to War on Importing of Workers by Contractor. By Timet Special WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.—Fight to prevent importation of cheap labor into Indiansipolls for construction of the new $500,000 United States veteran hospital, at a time when thousands of local workers are walking the streets, began today in the United States Veterans bureau. Algernon Blair Construction Company of Montgomery. Ala., which was the low bidder on the project, was described by veterans bureau officers as a firm which frequently entered low bids on government work by basing plans on importation ot cheap labor from the south. Several recent contracts throughout the country were found to have been executed on this basis, and m each case a violent protest arose in the community involved. In their determination to prevent importation of labor for the Indianapolis job, veterans bureau officials today had the backing of the President’s emergency committee on employment. which has taken a vigorous stand against the wholesale movement of workers into zones already sustaining thousands of unemployed. The Blair bid was about $5,000 below that of s. Moore & Sons of Kokomo, Ind., which is favored by officials of the construction division because of the prospect thus offered for the employment of Indianapolis workers. Half a dozen Indianapolis bidders also still are in the running, for some of their bids are within $25,000 of the Blair offer. Half a dozen protesting telegrams from Indianapolis reached the veterans bureau today. Additional protests were sent Representative Louis Ludlow, who immediately made an appointment for a conference with Brigadier-General Frank T. Hines, administrator of veterans’ affairs. VETERINARIANS CONVENE Indianapolis Man Named President at Opening Session. Dr. A. F. Schalt, Ohio university, will be the principal speaker tonight at the annual dinner of the Indiana Veterinary Medical Association which opened a three-day convention at the Severin Tuesday. Dr. R. C.
