Stanley was killed early Sunday when he was hurled from a Are truck when it was struck by an automobile traveling fifty miles an hour at Sixteenth street and Central avenue, while the company was answering a false alarm. Eight other persons, including five firemen of Company 16, were hurt in the accident. A four-way automobile crash on Rockville road at the county line at midnight Saturday resulted in the death of Miss Hartsock when the car in which she was a passenger collided with another car as the driver attempted to dodge an auto parked, without lights, at the side of the road. Probes Are Opened Coroner Fred W. Vehling opened probes into both accidents and fire officials announced full penalty will be given persons caught sounding false fire alarms. The crashes raised Marion county’s auto death toll to 142 for the year. The false alarm which sent Stanley to his death was the thirteenth of fifteen sent in by Halloween pranksters. The alarm called the fire company to Fifteenth and Lafayette streets. Harry J. Golder, 37, of 847 West New York street, member of the fire company, is in city hospital suffering from skull fracture and concussion of the brain. His condition is critical. Others injured in the crash: William Larsh, 39, of 2956 North Sherman drive, internal injuries and bruises; James R.

Held for Manslaughter Taylor was the driver of the speeding car which crashed into the fire truck. He is held on charges of voluntary manslaughter. Witnesses told police Taylor did not observe the stop and go sign at the comer and the green “go” light was on Sixteenth street, along which the fire apparatus was traveling. The force of the collision turned the fire truck around, throwing Stanley beneath the wrecked automobile. His head was crushed and he died almost instantly. Golder was hurled to the pavement. Golder and Larsh are at the city hospital and the other firemen were released after medical treatment. Sanders and Mrs. Holt are j Charged with vagrancy. Witnesses said Taylor smashed a j bottle of liquor in a gutter following the accident. He told police he had been drinking, but said he only had “one bottle of beer.” Car Owner Also Held Taylor said he borrowed the car from Edward Jennings, Negro, 717 West Michigan street, and police held Jennings on vagrancy charges after the Negroes told different stories of Taylor’s possession of the auto. Funeral services will be held at 2 Tuesday afternoon for Lieutenant Stanley at his home. Burial will be in Crown Hill cemetery. Survivors are the widow, Mrs. Myrtle Stanley; two brothers, William and Samuel Stanley, and two

Reasons SIT COSTS LESS TO I J COKE... Ton for ton there are so many more' heat units in Indianapolis Coke, as compared to the best soft coal, that Coke is by far the most economical fuel “in the long run.” A high percentage of the heat units in coal is wasted in smoke. Coke is 92% carbon —and makes no smoke. Burning Coke saves labor in firing the furnace and removing the ashes. Less frequent firing is necessary and fewer ashes are produced. Coke saves money in furnace repairs, in house cleaning bills, and in laundry charges. It is the cleanest bulk fuel you can burn. 75 Indianapolis Fuel Merchants sell and recommend Indianapolis Coke.

WILSON BANS ROUGH TACTICS BY CONSTABLES Prosecutor Urges Courtesy in Making Evictions; Calls Conference. Warning that constables making evictions must be courteous, and that drastic measures shall not be used, will be sounded by Prosecutor Herbert Wilson at the conference of Marion county constables he has called for Tuesday afternoon. Wilson declares he will recommend that constables be uniformed to prevent impersonations. The constables will be asked to organize opposition to the tactics pursued by high pressure collectors for credit houses who pose as lawenforcing officials, and to work together in performing their duties. “I especially desire the constables to use discretion and judgment in

carrying out their eviction orders and replevins,” Wilson declared. “They must take into consideration that these are times of stress and many persons and families, behind in their payments, would not be in such a condition in ordinary times.” “There have come to this office too many complaints regarding the tactics used in the collections, and I am prepared to act on any just cause for resentment.” The prosecutor also urged that those upon whom papers are being served must remember the constables are public servants and the actions were not instigated by them. “What I especially desire is cooperation, difficult as it may be to obtain it,” he added. Wilson particularly w'as bitter in his criticism of the credit house collectors who have used illegal methods in their work. “Any time evidence is brought to me that these men are ‘high pressuring’ those who owe their companies on bills and are using strongarm methods, they may be sure I will order an investigation. “But the reports must be substantiated,’’Wilson said.

That’s why your doctor’s first advice 4 in case of colds is a mild laxative like cascara. Medical authorities agree it actually strengthens bowel muscles. You get cascara in its most pleasant form in candy Cascarets. Remember this when you catch cold; whenever breath is bad; tongue coated; or you’re headachy, bilious, constipated. Why resort to harsher things when Cascarets activitate the bowels so quickly, so harmlessly and pleasantly—and cost only a dime?—Advertisement.
