SWINDLE IN FLOWERS Two Girls Wanted for New Kind of Racket at Evansville. By United Press EVANSVILLE, Ind., Dec. 18.—A “sympathy racket” was disclosed here as police sought two girls, both appearing to be under 20 years old, charged with making fake collections for purchase of flowers for deceased persons. Police were told that the girls have made a practice of going into neighborhoods where someone has died, and taking up collections for the purported purpose of buying flowers. The latest collection reported was contributed by eighteen persons who gave sums ranging from 10 to 25 cents. PRISONER CONTENTED Evansville Man Prefers Staying in Jail to Paying Alimony. By Times Special EVANSVILLE, Ind., Dec. 18.— Edgar T. Corn says life in jail is preferable to payment of alimony, he informed Judge Benjamin E. Buente in Superior court. Judge Buente had Corn confined Saturday on a contempt of court charge, for failure to keep up alimony payments. “I’m perfectly contented in jail, and would rather stay there than keep paying my wife alimony all the time," Corn informed the judge, when brought into court again. He was returned to jail. DEMOCRATS ORGANIZED North Indianapolis Club Elects Bradshaw as President.

CAMERON STILL MINUS BAILIFF X Refuses to Accept Logan for Court Post. “I’m all at sea, but I’ll get along.” And so, Municipal Judge Clifton Ft. Cameron sums up the situation of having a court without a bailiff. Cameron clings to his resolution that he will not accept the services of Marty Logan, former gamewell operator, named by the safety board to succeed Howard Sanders, shifted to the detective department. “Os course, not having a bailiff makes more work for me, but m stick it out," he said. “I’m going to keep this court of mine clean of politics.” Sanders regularly is assigned to the detective department and, from last reports, Logan still is a man without a job. Although Cameron has insisted he has. “nothing against” Logan, he demanded Sanders be retained as bailiff. When courts upheld the safety board’s authority to name the bailiff, Cameron refused to accept Logan. “Sanders or nobody,” he said.
