INVENTOR DIES IN AUTO FUEL DEVICEBLAST Chauffeur Killed, Friend Is Hurt Critically When Vaporizer Explodes. By United Preen CHICAGO, Oct. 29.—Emil Schoenberger, a chauffeur who had dreams of great inventions, was killed today when his first invention exploded, wrecking his garage workshop. A companion was injured, probably fatally, and Schoenberger's wife and children barely escaped the resulting flames. The inventor worked as a chauffeur for Walter C. Peacock, wealthy Chicago Jeweler. A friend, Robert Posl, and he were testing a device for high vaporizing of gasoline in a home-made laboratory in the garage over which the Schoenbergers lived. Without warning the invention exploded with terrific force. Doors and windows of the garage were blown out and flaming gasoline enveloped the room. Schoenberger was crushed to death beneath the automobile engine in which the vaporization device had been installed. Posi was saturated with blazing gasoline but managed to crawl outside. Mrs. Schoenberger and her children, William, 3, and Marie, 7, were trapped in the living quarters over the garage. Escape down the stairway was barred by flame. Heeding directions of police who arrived almost immediately after the blast, the mother tossed her children safely from the second story window to the arms of officers. Then she jumped and also was j caught unhurt by the police. Only last week Schoenberger had received a patent on his invention. The garage was destroyed completely by the fire. Harry Berry, 50, owner of a drug Store at 748 North West street, who sustained face burns early Wednesday while attempting to perfect a hew type of motor fuel, is recovering today. The explosion was caused by fumes of an oil stove igniting those of acids with which he was working. FOUR DIE IN FLAMES By United Prose INDEPENDENCE, Mo., Oct. 29.

The figures were compiled by the Indiana Taxpayers Association. They list senior high school instruction costs for each enrolled pupil as being $117.56, highest of the twenty-eight leading cities of Indiana. Ft. Wayne Next Highest Gary, where the schools have established a world wide reputation, is ; fifth on the list with a senior high j instruction cost an enrolled pupil I of $95.28, Zoercher pointed out. First four are Indianapolis, Ft. Wayne, $110.47; Michigan City, $103.80, and Crawfordsville, $100.40. In elementary instruction cost for each enrolled pupil, Indianapolis is second with $67.16. Ft. Wayne is first with $67.66, and Gary, third, at $60.82. Hammond has the lowest high school pupil cost among the twen-ty-eight cities, being $58.43. Newcastle is low on elementary cost at $28.65.

is first at $13.56 and Gary second at $12.27. Debt service cost for all pupils puts Indianapolis near the bottom of the list at $3.13, which is twentysixth place. Here Ft. Wayne leads at $16.92 and Gary is sixth at $10.53. “It’s the instructional cost that makes the Indianapolis schools so expensive,” Zoercher declared. “Yet the biggest protest on our budget eut came from the fact that we cut substitute teacher appropriations from $35,000 to SIO,OOO. “In the past there was no such appropriation, and the teachers are paid well enough so that they can employ substitutes. “There is no reason why the public should finance Indianapolis teachers taking the days’ sick leave visiting Brown county.” LEADER GIVES PARTY Management of Leader Store, Delaware and Washington streets, was host at a Halloween party for employes and friends at the Brookside community house Wednesday night.
