Health of 10,000 City Children Periled by Lack of Milk

4 PPROXIMATELY .10,000 Indianapolis children under the age of 6 years are being denied the amount of milk necessary to their health. This was the startling revelation made Friday by a survey conducted by the Council of Social Agencies and the city health department. A conference of officials was called at once by Mayor Sullivan and a movement launched to determine the exact extent of the need and the way in which it must be met. Attention to the deplorable state of affairs first was

Win DOOMED TO CHAIR BY JURY VERDICT Gunman Is Found Guilty of Murder of L. A. Jackson, Chain Store Chief. By Times Special LEBANON, Ind.. Jan. 23.—Charles Vernon Witt, today was condemned to die in the electric chair at the Indiana state prison for the robbery slaying of Lafayette A. Jackosn, Indianapolis chain store chief. A jury of ten farmers and two merchants, at 9:40 Friday night, found him guilty of the murder, after two hours and forty minutes’ deliberation. Death penalty is mandatory under the charge that the murder was committed during perpetration of a robbery. Sentence against Witt will be passed at 9:30 Thursday morning by Judge John W. Hornaday, who heard evidence against the Bainbridge (Ind.) outlaw for ten days. Family Grief Stricken While Witt took his fate calmly, members of his family were broken with grief. His attorneys announced they will appeal the case to the Indiana supreme court. Elza O. Rogers of the defense, said he was satisfied with the trial, but Ira M. Holmes, attorney, declared it “was not a fair trial.” Only four ballots were taken by the jury to reach the death penalty verdict, the first one in the history of Boone county. t Witt showed no sign of emotion when the jury foreman announced his guilt. On his way to the jail, his only remark was, ‘‘Somebody give me a cigaret.” Jackson Shot Down Witt was charged, with Louis E. Hamilton, who will be tried later, with entering the central store of the Standard Grocery Company, 419 East Washington street, May 27, 1931, to rob the company of $14,000. Lafayette A. Jackson, head of the store, who often had threatened to resist any holdup attempts, opened fire on the bandits when Hamilton is alleged to have leaped to the store counter and demanded the money. Jackson was shot three times and died the day after the shooting from a bullet wound in the abdomen. Witt was captured in Indianapolis a month after the slaying. He was trapped by detectives in a north side rooming house and for many hours refused to admit to officers that he was Witt, declaring his name was Carl Irwin. Fled to Kansas According to the charges, Witt and Hamilton are alleged to have fled from Indianapolis in a stolen car a few hours after the shooting and hidden at Hamilton's home in lola. Kan. The defense alibi that Witt, his wife, and Hamilton arrived in lola five hours after the shooting, was i smashed by the state, with the I testimony of an invalid woman, a : neighbor of Hamilton's, who said j the trio did not arrive there until May 20. more than forty-eight hours after the shooting. Hamilton probably will be tried next month, the date to be set later by Hornaday.

Witnesses to Be Same State and defense witnesses in the Hamilton trial will be the same as those in the Witt case. These included employes of the store, police. newspaper men. and relatives of Witt and Hamilton. Whether Hamilton will attempt the Io:a defense alibi in face of its result in Witt’s case was not revealed today by his attorneys. Hamilton, in a purported statement to police, is said to have admitted the robbery attempt, but said he was dazed by a bullet from Jackson's revolver which struclf him in the head and he did not remember anything about the shooting. His statement in the alleged confession was that he did not recall the affair until he and Witt were en route to lola, Kan.

Sh-h One Pint! By United Press NEW YORK, Jan. 23.—That familiar morning sound of milk bottles rattling in their carrier soon may be hushed in New York. The two accompanying noises, clumping of the milkman’s heels and the ruble of the approaching and departing wagon, also will be silenced when a prominent milk company completes its “rubberization” of rolling stock. In preliminary experiments, these silencers were tested: Rubber cushioned bottle carriers; rubber heels for the milkman; rubber tires for the wagon, and a gag on loud talk.

PASTOR SLAIN IN TON 6 FEUD Minister Diels at Hands of Chinese Hatchetman. By I nited Press CHICAGO. Jan. 23.—Chicago’s Chinatown guarded closely today all clews to the hatchet slaying of the Rev. Henry Frank Chan, 40, Chinese pastor called to serve the Oriental community by the city’s most prominent divines. The sinister hand of the hatchetman, traditional executioner of expatriated Chinese, was seen in the crime by police, confronted with the blood-stained weapon itself as their only clew. Chan’s body was found in his quarters in the basement of the Chinese Church of Christ, where it had lain undiscovered for probably three days. The bustle of Wentworth avenue, ±he “Mott street” of the local Chinese, was stilled today in mourning for the slain pastor and in fear of police questioners. The typical oriental slaying of Chan, known as an opponent of brutal tong feuds, shocked the -city's ministers. He came here from the Pacific coast two years ago at the call of the Chicago Church Federation. MERCURY TO SLIDE Forecasting Mr. Armington Sees 20-Degree Drop. Indianapolis stil was in its second year without zero temperature today, with a heavy smog, rain and the prediction the temperature will drop to near 28 tonight. Last record of zero temperature at the weather bureau was Jan. 23, 1930. The nearest the mercury has dropped to zero since then was on Thanksgiving day of 1930, when it stood at 1. Rains lessened in the state during the night, and J. H. Armington, weather bureau chief, said there was no change in river conditions in central and southern areas. In many places, the White and Wabash rivers are past flood stage and probably will reach maximum tonight or Sunday. With the mercury standing at 50 this morning, Armington said it probably will drop 20 degrees during the night and the rain may turn to snow. Sunday is scheduled to be fair.

called to official attention by Herman G. Morgan, city health officer. The startling increase in number of children treated in the clinics and the city hospital first caused concern to Dr. Morgan and Dr. Charles Myers, hospital superintendent, who traced numerous cases to a direct lack of nutrition. In other words, the children who came to the hospital often were actually starving for lack of proper food, and their ills were the ills that come from a lack of proper milk diet.

TAX ON POWER AND GAS URGED TO CUTDEFICIT Georgia Democrat to Ask New Levies, in Effort to Raise Billion. BY THOMAS L. STOKES United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.—Taxes on electric power, gasoline and stock sales were proposed to the house ways and means committee today as additional means of raising revenue to meet the treasury deficit. The recommendations were significant because they came from within the committee itself. Representative Crisp (Ga.), ranking Democrat on the committee and one of the recognized tax authorities in the house, said he would propose such levies when the committee begins to draft its bill. Crisp’s program calls for V 2 of 1cent tax per kilowatt hour on electric power; 1 cent a gallon on gasoline, | and Vs of 1 per cent on stock sales. He estimates $400,000,000 would be derived from these sources. Easy to Collect He justified these levies on the ground they would not be burdensome and would be easy to collect. They would be supplementary to such other taxes as the committee decides to impose to raise the billion dollars necessary to balance the budget. The committee was bombarded today by the automobile industry in protest against the proposed manufacturers’ tax on automobiles, trucks and accessories. Other developments in congress were: 1. Setback, at least temporarily, of proposals to cut government employes’ pay as an economy measure. The New York Tammany delegation lined up solidly against it, expressing its position in a statement by Representative Cullen (Dem., N. Y.,) who denounced the plan as “a disastrous example to industry.” Fights Job Clause 2. Representative LaGuardia (Rep., N. Y.), said he would try today to eliminate, on a point of order, a section of the agriculture department appropriation bill which would forbid filling any vacancies in the department which occur after the bill is passed.* Democrats plan to take the provision on all other appropriation bills, they have secured a special rule authorizing it. 3. Possibility of congressional action in favor of a five-day week and six-hour day. The senate Friday adopted a resolution of Senator Couzens (Rep., Mich.), instructing the interstate commerce commission to investigate feasibility ctf the plan for railroads. A similar resolution is pending in the house, where early action is expected. The house civil service committee will start in a few days investigating economic possibilities of the plan for government employes, as well as in industry generally. Plan Tariff Change Representative Crosser (Dem., O.), author of the house resolution, may reintroduce a bill giving congress power to fix hours of labor. He believes working hours should be reduced in proportion to the saving effected by labor-saving machinery. 4. A movement among senate Democrats to restore to the party’s tariff program the project for reciprocal treaties involving reciprocal reductions. This was included in the original tariff bill, but was eliminated. The house passed the bill, and hearings will start today before the senate finance committee. The measure requires'the tariff commission to report to congress instead of to the President; author- j izes the President to summon an in- ! ternational tariff conference, and j creates the position of consumers’ j counsel to represent the public before the commission.

GERMANY TO GET BREATHING SPELL

Year’s Extension of Frozen Private Credits Voted by Bankers. BY HAROLD A. PETERS United Press Staff Cot respondent BERLIN, Jan. 23.—Agreement for a one-year extension of private credits “frozen” in Germany—in which American interests are estimated at $800,000,000 —was reached by international bankers here today, reportedly without foreseeing any date for further repayment. The bankers, negotiating an extension of the present “standstill agreement,” were in accord on most of the important points. Germany's private indebtednes, including obligations not mentioned in the standstill agreement, is estimated at around $2,570,000,000. It was expected the agreement would be initialed today by the heads of various delegations, then submitted to the various national banking committees for approval. According to sources usually well informed on international finance, the agreement provided a one-year prolongation of the “standstill” arrangement, under which foreign bankers agreed not to withdraw investments from Germany until March, 1932. The extension might be cancelled, however, if Germany declares a moratorium. The present standstill agreement was reached when withdrawals of capital from Germany threatened to cause the collapse of the reich currency.

Times 9 Poll Will Show State Political Trend

The Times today is completing a poll of delegates to the last state Democratic and Republican conventions, requesting them to name their choices for President of the United States, Governor of Indiana, and United States senator from Indiana. In addition, each one has been asked to state his opinion on prohibition and a special session of the general assembly. As records reveal that at least 60 per cent of the delegates to a convention are named to the next party conclave, tfie returns should give a clear indication of sentiment for the 1932 elections. The vote has been entirely secret and those interrogated were asked not to sign or place any identifying marks on their cards. The ballot has been as impartial as The Times could ipake it. It

Survey of conditions in the city disclosed the fact that there are approximately 10,000 of the children under school age who receive too little milk—where they receive any at all. The figure was arrived at by a survej’ of the number of children in families which now are being supported wholly by charities or by township trustees. Mrs. Hannah Noone, trustee for Center township, has tried to supply the needs by placing two quarts of milk in baskets and in giving milk in some few cases oh prescriptions from physicians.

MOTIVE TO BE BARED IN JUDD MURDERTRIAL State Expects to Clinch Case Against Defendant in Trunk Crime. BY GEORGE H. BEALE United Press Staff Corresoondent PHOENIX, Ariz., Jan. 23.—The state of Arizona was expected to reveal today the motive it claims prompted 26-year-old Winnie Ruth Judd to slay her one-time friend, Agnes Anne Leroi. And this development, should it be forthcoming, promised to furnish the high light of the prosecution’s attempt to prove the attractive nurse guilty of first degree murder. Since Mrs. Judd first surrendered on charges she killed Mrs. Le Roi and Mrs. Le Roi’s roommate, Hedvig Samueison, the missing part of the state’s case has been a motive. Knowing that to be unable to show motive would furnish a defense plea of insanity, County Attorney Lloyd Andrews told the jury that he would do so. Motive to Be Shown * He told jurors the state would produce evidence to show that five weeks before the slayings there was ill feeling between Mrs. Judd and Mrs. Le Roi and Miss Samueison, for whose death Mrs. Judd may be placed on trial later. That Andrews might reach this point at today’s session was indicated when he said the state expected to conclude this afternoon. The state planned to open today with a further account of what was disclosed when baggage traced to Mrs. Judd was opened in Los Angeles to reveal the two bodies. Arthur Anderson, baggage agent in Los Angeles, first testified along this line. He explained he refused to turn two trunks over to Mrs. Judd unless she first opened them when he detected an offensive odor. He said that at the time he believed they held deer being shipped illegally from Arizona to California. When she failed to return with keys to the trunks, he called police. Body Is Disclosed “Police opened the larger trunk,” he said, “and we saw some bed clothing and what appeared to be a human head. They threw back the clothing and there was the rest of the body. This body, the state claims, was that of Mrs. Leroi. “Then they opened the smaller trunk,’ Anderson continued, “and we saw some bed clothing. Police pulled that back to show parts of a body.” They were portions of the body of Miss Samueison, according to the state, and the rest were in a suitcase Mrs. Judd carried from Phoenix to Los Angeles. Mrs. Judd, pale and nervously twisting a handkerchief, appeared unconcerned at Anderson’s recital.

Entered as Second-Class Matter at Postoffice. Indianapolis. Ind.

Her power under the law is limited by the amount of food she can give to any one family and the limit is too low to provide the milk needed where there are small children. Families being supported directly by the private agencies have received some milk, but the report of the Council of Social Agencies brought out the fact that the emergency is great and that the job is entirely too big for any one private agency and beyond any relief through public appeal for a special fund.

‘T consider the situation as grave an emergency as could exist,” said Dr. * Morgan. “Children in growing days must have milk. Otherwise, they reflect that lack in tendencies to tuberculosis and in other diseases. “Continued lack of milk would mean that these thousands of children become a health problem in ten or fifteen years, and easily could affect the public health of the next generation.” Few Get Milk The clinic under direction of Dr. Morgan have provided milk for a small number of children under a limited city appropriation. The clinics provide milk where necessary for children up to 10 months. Out of the 1,100 children under the care of the clinic, only 186 receive free milk. There is no way to obtain milk for the others. Mayor Sullivan called to his office late Friday members of the county commission, the township trustees, representatives of private charity organizations, and attorneys for the different groups. Figures to Be Challenged While informed by the Chamber of Commerce that the figures as to the extent of the need and the number of children denied milk would be challenged as incorrect, the mayor took the stand that the children of this city must have milk and that some plan for financing the bill would be found. The estimate of Dr. Morgan as to the cost for a proper supply of milk for all children whose families are unable to buy it ranges as high as $20,000 a month. Mayor Sullivan called attention to the limitations by law upon authority of city officials to meet the situation, except as a health board measure of emergency. The law, he pointed out, is not framed on the theory that the government shall feed people. But the fact of the grave need of children made it necessary that prompt action be had.

Effort Is Insufficient There is some conflict as to the extent to which milk has been provided for families of the unemployed. That an effort has been made by all who have any hand in distribution of foods is admitted. That the effort has been inadequate and insufficient also is admitted. The officials who conferred with the mayor will be expected to map out a general plan of action. It is probable that the situation will be placed in the hands of the board of health as an emergency measure and that any distribution of milk will be under the machinery already organized for the clinics. Will Insist on Safeguards While emphatic in his declaration that the situation must be met, Mayor Sullivan also is concerned in protecting the relief movement from any imposition by those who are able to pay for necessary supplies for their children. Survey by the social agencies also disclosed that the predicament of children of school age is less serious than that of those under that age. Milk distributed in the schools has protected the older children. The city has had a most enviable record of low rate of mortality among children. The clinics established by Dr. Morgan are given credit for this rate, the lowest of any midwestern city. “I consider the milk question the most important social factor in Indianapolis today,” was the statement of David Liggett, director of the Community Fund, under whose direction the survey of needs was made. Need to Be Met “I consider the matter a public emergency as grave as that of any epidemic, and possibly worse in its future consequences,” says Dr. Morgan. And under this impetus public officials are looking for a plan under which it is legally possible to meet the bills for the emergency and to distribute milk to this vast army of tots who are the victims of depression. “These children must have milk," says Mayor Sullivan. “We will not be imposed upon. But the need will be met, no matter what the cost. This city i stoo rich to contemplate failure to give proper fcod to its future citizens in so grave a crisis.’’ j LABOR LEADER TO TALK Organizer to Report Sunday on Worker Activities. William Ayers, local organizer for the International Labor Defense, will give a report of activities at a meeting at 2 Sunday afternoon at Workers Center, 932 ts South Meridian street. Continuation of a drive to obtain release of Theodore Luesse, labor leader serving a term at the Indiana state farm, will be discussed.

ELECTRIC, GAS RATES BOOST CITY’SH. C. L. High Rent Also Blamed in Federal Report for WarTime Figure. By Times Special WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.—High rents and high gas and electricity rates are responsible largely for the fact that the cost of living in Indianapolis is almost as high as it was in the World war period fourteen years ago. A report issued today by the bureau of labor statistics reveals that residents of Indianapolis pay less for food, less for clothing and less for household furnishings. But because they pay more fo* rent, more for fuel and light and more for miscellaneous items. The cost of living in Indianapolis is only eight-tenths of 1 per cent less than it was fifteen years ago. Food 29 Per Cent Off The report reveals that from De-* cember, 1917, to December, 1931, food costs in Indianapolis is decreased 29.1 per cent; clothing prices dropped 19.4 per cent, and costs of household furnishings went down 12.4 per cent. Meanwhile, rents increased 11.3 per cent; fuel and light costs jumped 23.7 per cent, and the prices of miscellaneous items went up 49.2 per cent. (Included in the “miscellaneous” group are such items as medical care, dental care, drugs, amusements, etc.) Largely because of the precipitate drop in food, clothing and furniture prices, the cost of living in Indiananpolis in December, 1931, had declined 34 per cent from its high level in June, 1920. Slightly Greater Here For the one-year period between December, 1930, and December, 1931, the decline in living costs in Indianapolis was 10.5 per cent, and for the six-month period from June to December, 1931, the drop was 3.7 per cent. For all these periods, the report showed, the decline in Indianapolis living costs was silgthly greater than the average decline for the thirty-two leading cities in the country in which the surveys were conducted. COURT BLOCKS MOVE TO HALT TRACTION SALE Indianapolis and Northwestern Transfer Confirmed. Objections to sale of the abandoned Indianapolis and Northwestern traction linees to B. P. Shearar* of the Midland United Company for $75,000 were overruled Friday by Superior Judge Russell J. Ryan. Contention that the sale price was too low was made- by the petitioner, the Castleton Realty Company, at a hearing before Judge Ryan. The court held that there was insufficient evidence to block the confirmation of the sale, made several days ago. The realty company holds $33,000 of the traction line’s bonds. ROOSEVELT IS ‘ON MARK’ Poised for Presidential Race; Announcement Due Soon. By United Press NEW YORK, Jan. 23.—Franklin D.

An early statement of Roosevelt’s stand has been expected as the result of North Dakota Democrats asking permission to put his name on the preferential primary ballot to be voted March 15.
