U.S. AGENTS' BOOZE 'BUYER' IS CONVICTED Snooper, in Shooting After Purchasing Liquor, Is Given 180 Days. For the next six months, at least, Robert Logsdon, 35, will not be able to make "buys" at *2 each for federal prohibition agents. Arraigned late Monday afternoon before Municipal Judge Wililam H, Sheaffer, Logsdon, was convicted on ; a charge of assault and battery with Intent to kill, and was fined $1 and costs and sentenced to the penal > farm for 180 days. Penalty on conviction of carrying a concealed weapon was a fine of SIOO and costs. Charges of drunkenness and impersonating an officer were dis- I mi?ised. A shooting affray Saturday night led to the arrest of Logsdon. Tells of Liquor Buy On the witness stand, Logsdon said that after two attempts he made a buy of liquor .Saturday night in the poolroom of Potcova Nistor, i 559 West Washington street. Leaving the place he went to No. 6 engine house, where he said i George Dubla, who had been talking to firemen, approached him and upbraided him for aiding officers by buying liquor. Nistor, who had followed Logsdon, is said to arrived during the dispute. There was conflicting testimony regarding what followed. Logsdon said Dubla grabbed the bottle of liquor he claims he bought at the poolroom and fired twice. Two shots were fired by Logsdon. Other witnesses said Dubla I grabbed a revolver from Logsdon and used it in the shooting., and that Logsdon drew another revolver and fired four or five times. Paid $2 a Purchase Logsdon fled by jumping on the running board of a passing automobile. He heard sirens of police cars going to the scene of the shooting, ! and told a traffic officer at Illinois j and Washington streets that “I was in that, shooting." He was taken back to the scene by a motorcycle officer. Dubla was rele? ’ following i Logsdon’s trial. Two permits for carrying revolvers were shown by Logsdon, but both had expired. He said he had been aiding dry agents “ofT and on" for two years. In addition to the $2 per buy, he was paid witness fees in cases which reached courts. COAL CONVERTED TO OIL BY SCIENTISTS Chemists See No Danger of Supply Being Exhausted. Ry Science Service SEATTLE. Aug. 23.—Two University of Washington chemists, j Prof. W. L. Beuschlein and Dr. C. j C. Wright, do not fear a shortage j of gasoline and oil w hen the world j supply of petroleum is exhausted, for they have found that as much j as 80 to 90 per cent of coal can be j converted into oil and other soluble products. In Germany, where coal is more plentiful than petroleum, gasoline j already is made from the solid fuel by the hydrogenation process. Present low cast of petroleum in this country makes the application of such process here seem remote. Prof. Beuschlein and Dr. Wright used fourteen different coals from Alabama, West Virginia, Kentucky, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Utah and; Washington. The best coals gave the highest yields of oil, but even with the inferior lignites, or brown coals, about one-third of the coal was converted into soluble products. LIVE TOGETHER. NEVER * SPEAK TO EACH OTHER Man and Wife Have Not Spoken for Six Years. BOSTON, Aug. 23.—For six years Nathan Robbins and his wife have lived together in their Arlington home and have not exchanged a word. In 1929 Mrs. Robbins obtained a decree that she was living apart from her husband for justifiable cause. Robbins explained that he didn't talk to his wife "because she is unreasonable." Despite their differences, they continued to live in the same house and Robbins was making a weekly payment of S2O to his wife for her support. H? has petitioned the court to reduce this payment, on the ground that, his earnings have been reduced since the decree of 1929. and that his wife, in refusing to leave his home, puts additional expenses on him. PROFIT IN STAGE-COACH Amateur Drivers Like Thrill of “Four in Hand." LONDON. Aug. 23.—The word “stage coach’’ has something of a mid-Victorian flavor to it, and most people believe that its degree of extinction is somewhere between that of a horse and a dodo. But one travels daily during the • summer between Piccadilly. London, and Hampton Court. With the more efficient sendee available nowadays, one would think this stage coach wouldn’t pay. But it does, and plenty. It seems that many amateur drivers like to drive four-in-hand, and many members of the public get a real thrill out of a stage coach journey. PLANE COST FIGURED $52 Hourly Expense to Run TriMotored Ships. WASHINGTON. Aug. 23.—The United States postoffice department has figured the operating expenses of various planes.

Aug. ’ 23.—The war department has perfected a “riot” gun which is the latest and most efficient field piece of its kind to be shown in recent years. It is of the same type as the familiar, French "75," and is mounted to al- i low firing in any direction. It has § range of almost four miles.

DOCTORS FIGHT U. S. HOSPITALS Seek to Halt Intervention in Profession. By United Prrxx SOUTH BEND, Ind„ Aug. 23. The Indiana Medical Association appealed to the Shannon ccngres sional committee here today to halt government intervention in the medical profession. Through Dr. Joseph Weinstein, Terre Haute, president-elect of the association, it asked the committee to "stop socialization of the Amer- j ican medical profession by halting j expansion of government hospitals, j and curtailing care of veterans; strictly to service disabilities. The committee, headed by Repre- j sentalive Joseph B. Shannon, Kansas City, Mo., is conducting an investigation of charges that government intervention in private enterprises is economically harmful. Dr. Weinstein told the committee that 76 per cent of veterans receiving federal hospital aid were not being treated for disabilities incurred in service. “If a veteran wants his tonsils removed, he goes to a government hospital because he gets the work done free of charge,’’ Dr. Weinstein said. A brief filed by the association said that veterans last year received service valued at $1,000,000,000 from the government. The association also assailed public health clinics, pointing out that j they were taking legitimate business : from the medical profession. OPEN POISON PROBE Murder Hinted in Death of Heiress in IS2B. By United Ptrxx HONOLULU, T. H„ Aug. 23.—A secret inquest to determine the cause of death of Mrs. Marian Shainwald Sevier, southern heiress, has been started here, four years after she died. When Mrs. Sevier, wife of Col. Granville Sevier, army officer, died here, doctors said arteriosclerosis■ and complicating ailments had j caused her death. Nine months later, at the instiga- I tion of Shainwald, her brother, an unofficial autopsy was held. It was j discovered that certain vital organs were missing from the body. Shainwald brought a court action asking an official autopsy. Colonel Sevier, who had inherited his wife’s fortune, opposed the action on grounds that it was unnecessary to again disturb her body. Shainwald had claimed she was a possible victim of poisoning. CHEATS DEATH TWICE Electricity and Gas Peril Life of Man in Home. LOS ANGELES, Aug. 23.—History relates that the lack of a tenpenny nail resulted in the loss of a battle. Two little things nearly caused the death of I. N. Gruber, 59. The first was a chair leg, pushed carelessly against the wall, turned on an. unused gas jet. Ten minutes later the second happened. Smelling the fumes, Gruber turned on the light to investigate. A short circuit in the switch ignited the gas. The explosion hurled Gruber against the wall. Blind Tiger Charge Filed Blind tiger charge was filed against William C. Moeller, 23, of 415 South Butler avenue, after an automobile bearing license plates is- I sued to him collided at New York street and Emerson avenue with a car driven by James O.

Convention Report Reveals Financial Stability of Order. By I iiilnl Press CLEVELAND, Aug. 23.—Proposal of a moratorium in behalf of delinquent members was prepared today for presentation at the first general session of the Loyal Order of Moose, convening here in its forty-fourth annual international convention. Approximately 3,600 delegates, representing the order’s 650,000 members, attended the opening ses* sion. At the same time, 1,500 members of the women of the Moose order opened their sixth annual conference. Supreme officers for three days had been making a check of delinquencies from the 1,700 chapters. Their reports were optimistic. Based upon findings that only 11 per cent of the total membership has been delinquent. Os this group, one-half had been tardy only in payment of dues, officials said. They pointed to the year's record showing 70,000 men and reinstated members as indicating the financial stability of the order. Cheered by these findings, officers said no curtailment of expenditures will be made for Mooseheart, the town in Illinois maintained for the care of dependent children of deceased members. For the first time in the history of the order, Canada was authorized to set up its own organization force. Norman G. Heyd of Toronto, former supreme dictator and head of the 50,000 Canadian Moose, was delegated as chief organizer. The Great Barrier reef, fronting the coast of north Australia is the largest coral reef in the world. It is 1,000 miles long and 30 miles wide.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

WIFE BEATEN IN BASEBALL ROW Husband Blackens Eyes of Ardent Cubs’ Fan. By Times Special CHICAGO, Aug. 23.—Anthony Pilger doesn’t give a tinker’s hoot whether the Cubs win the National League pennant or land in the cellar. But Mrs. Pilger is interested to a frantic degree. And thereby hangs the tale of two black eyes which Mrs. Pilger is wearing today. The sorry lot of being a baseball widower so palled on Anthony that he decorated his spouse with crepe on her orbs when she arrived home from the ball lot last Friday. Asa result, he was fined SIOO and placed on probation in court Monday. It was ladies’ day at Cub park Friday, and Anna decided that she would be there. Anthony, his wrath bubbling over, flatly said she would not. He refused her even carfare. She borrowed it and went. The argument waxed hot when she returned, down in the dumps because the Cubs lost. It waxed even hotter when she refused to cook dinner and went to her room to find solace in tears. Anthony followed. So did the black eyes. And so did the fine and a warning from Judge Erickson, after suspending it, that it would be collected if there were any mere baseball wars.

Hemorrhoids Go Quick All Pile Misery Ended Without Cutting or Salves. Thousands who hare piles have not yet learned that quick and lasting relief can only be accomplished with an internal medicine. Neither salves nor suppositories remove the cause. Bad circulation of blood in the lower bowel causes piles. The hemorrhoidal veins are flabby, the bowel walls weak the parts almost dead. To get'rid of I’iles an internal* medicine must be used to stimulate the circulation, drive out the thick impure blood, heal and restore the affected parts. Dr. J. S. Leonhardt. after years of study, found a real internal Pile remedy. He called his discovery HEMROID, and prescribed it for 1.000 patients with success in over 900 eases, and then decided every Pile sufferer, no matter how stubborn their case, might try his prescription with a money back guarantee. HEM-ROID tablets have such a wonderful record of success in this citv that Hook's Dependable Drug Stores and all good druggists invite you to try HEM-ROID with guarantee of money refunded if it does not end your Pile misery.—Advertisement.
