COURT CALLS HALT IN KNIFE-AX FEUD

When a gentleman from Kentucky meets a gentleman from Kentucky, it’s sometimes necessary for the courts to preserve peace. At least that was the inference in criminal court, when Judge Frank Baker placed Hiram R. Boston under his own bond to keep the peace. It seems, according to the testimony in the restraint suit brought by George W. King, 2001 Southern avenue, Beech Grove, that Boston, when a boy of 14 in Kentucky, was arrested for carrying a gun. Asa result, when he reached his present age of 59 he found that the turbulent habits of his youth still were with him, it was indicated. When King ordered Boston, his tenant, to desist from pulling up the rase bushes in the yard of the

On another occasion, according to Kentuckian King, his tenant rushed at him with an open knife, “so I just had to grab an ax to defend myself.” The sight of the ax temporarily calmed Kentuckian Boston, who had no desire for headlines heralding an “ax murder,” King said. However, on the stand Wednesday Boston said: “I think George is a good fellow. I like that fellow; I think he is fine.” But Judge Baker ordered Kentuckian Boston to keep the peace or alse find himself behind the bars of an Indiana jail.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

LABOR PRAISED FOR CHECKING REDS'INROADS Hamilton Fish Turns Gun on Stimson at V. F. W. Mass Meeting. (Interview with Representative Fish, Pate B> Spread of Communism throughout American industry in the last few years has been prevented only by the strong battle waged against ; it by the American Federation of Labor, Representative Hamilton ; Fish of New York said Thursday 1 night ir. an address at Cadle tabernacle. “America is being made the laughing stock of the world by the humiliating and bungling, notesending policy of Secretary of State Henry L. Stimson,” Fish also stated. The New York congressman further voiced condemnation of the American Legion for its attitude toward Communism at its recent | convention in Detoit. Fish was the principal speaker at I an anti-Red mass meeting sponsored by the Veterans of Foreign Wars. Senator Arthur Robinson, | Representative Louis Ludlow, Ward B. Hiner and Chief Clear Bell, a j full-blooded Indian, were other [ speakers. Assailing the state department, Fish declared that “it is a useless gesture for Secretary Stimson to end notes to the League of Nations or the Japanese government, protesting the encroachment of armed forces in Manchuria, because no foreign nation will take our state department seriously.” He pointed to “our withdrawal to coast ports in Nicaragua after Sandino, backed by the Communists, butchered nine American citizens less than a year ago” as evidence of what he painted “weakkneed, meddling and bungling” policies by Stimson. % “What we need is more friendly markets for our goods, not future battlegrounds,” Fish asserted. Fish said that through “sheer ignorance of facts” the Detroit Legion convention asked congress to provide funds for the department of justice to deport aliens, whereas the justice department has nothing to do with immigration. That function belongs to the department of labor, he said.

public ceremony by the chief of the Los Angeles fire department. "The officer then became ugly and abusive toward me, which is an insult to me as a citizen and to the city of Los Angeles and its official family. I feel that the police department owes me an apology through him and that this city itself should make a statement to apologize for the slur given Los Angeles and its officialdom. “The chief of police will do well to weed out and rid himself of such characters.”
