Mrs. Poliquin says she used a phone in the home of Mrs. Amanda Cooper, 3102 Euclid avenue. She asserts the child became ill Monday morning, and at 3 Tuesday afternoon she called the hospital, stating the condition of the child was serious.

Tuesday, and called to the attention of the physician asked for by name on her return to the office at 6:30 p. m. Dr. J. E. Wyttenbach, deputy coronsr, who investigated the case, declared the parents told him they thought the child merely was suffering from an aching stomach.

Roosevelts in the Swim

,’, *Hbss fIHHHHgpp

Back at the winter home of Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt in Warm Springs, Ga., two of his most ardent campaign workers take a few minutes away from politics to have a swim. Here are Mrs. Curtis Dali, left, daughter of Governor Roosevelt, and her sister-in-law, Mrs. James Roosevelt, as they swam while the Democratic presidential nominee was busy speaking in Atlanta.

Beer Issue Looms Big in Roosevelt Campaign

Democrat Nominee Will Demand Hoover Make Known Stand. (Continued From Page One) the Republican ticket in a sort of whirling motion, that meant to the voter only a dizzy exhibition of uncertainty. “No honest wet and no honest dry can approve of such political tactics.’’ Sixteen thousand Marylanders stood in their chairs, their cheers punctuating the assault. “And a word as to beer,” said Roosevelt. “I favor the modification of the Volstead act to permit states to authorize the manufacture and sale of beer, as fast as the law will permit.” A full minute passed before the cheers would permit him to continue. “Some of you seem to be in a hurry,” he said laughing. “This is a way to divert $300,000,000 or more from the pockets of the racketeers to the treasury of the United States. Like Stand on Tariff Second to his anti-prohibition statements, the Baltimore crowd seemed to like the candidate’s tariff declarations, in which he served notice that he is ready to wage war on recent Republican pronouncements for still higher import duties. Roosevelt, however, digressed from his assault on high tariffs to spike the Republican statements that he intended to lower farm tariffs—an argument which Republican spokesmen, including Hoover, have used in the farm belt. “I promised to endeavor to restore the purchasing power of the farm dollars by making the tariff effective for agriculture and raising the price of his products. I know of np effective excessively high tariff duties on farm products. I do not intend that such duties shall be lowered.” Roosevelt Back Home By United Press NEW YORK, Oct. 26.—Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt came back to his home state today from a mid-western-southern tour which ended Tuesday night. Today, Roosevelt prepared for his final campaign swing—a trip into New England which, Democratic admit, is less friendly territory than he has invaded in the last few days. BOYS, FIRED ON, NOT IN AUTO, RELATIVES SAY Deny Halloween Pranksters Were Using Car in Shooting Incident. Relatives of Wallace Butler, 16, of 6440 Park avenue, deny that he and three youthful companions, fired upon by a merchant policeman following a Halloween prank Monday night, were using an automobile. Young Butler, John Buttonbach, 6, of Robinhood apartments, No. 2; Paul Pickett, 15, of 6420 Park avenue, and Lowell Herman, 15, of 6332 Broadway, explained that they were Halloween celebrants after one shot was fired at them by Homer Thompson, 5408 Burgess avenue, a ! merchant policeman. Thompson boarded a bus after the driver said he feared a holdup by persons riding in an automobile which had been trailing the bus. At College avenue and Sixtyfourth street, Thompson said he saw three leave the automobile and creep toward the bus. He fired and says the youths surrendered, declaring they had intended to tie an empty metal oil drum to the bus as a prank.

(Continued From Page One) him because he forgot the poor. “That is the cause of the chaos today. “Lazarus still lies at the gate forgotten and the result is the confusion leading to destruction. “Christ condemned this Godless world of lust, greed, uncharitableness and hardness of heart.” High Tribute Paid * The bishop then paid tribute to Father Gavisk as “great churchman and great citizen,” whose lofty idealism, expressed in action, came from living in the world with a spiritual sense of life. His time, he said, was devoted to “his neighbor, without distinction for the love of God.” Among the church dignitaries present for the services were several! bishops, including the Most Rev. John F.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

CHILD HEALTH CONSIDERED AT DOCTORPARLEY Series of Clinics Held for Delegates Attending International Meeting. “Intelligence of a community can be judged by infant mortality and child morbidity. The average medical student or young physician is so well equipped as to find the symptoms of most of diseases of children by early recognition.” With these words Dr. Alan G. Brown, professor of diseases of children, University of Toronto, Toronto, Canada, led a series of clinics today of the Interstate Post-Grad-uate Medical Association of North America, in the Murat temple. “The vast majority of disturbance of children can be prevented. They can be protected from deficiency diseases, such as rickets and rfnemia, if their resistance is increased by proper types of food,” Dr. Brown said. Heads Child Hospital Eighty per cent of Dr. Brown’s work in Toronto is in giving advice for the prevention of diseases in chi dren. He heads a 600-bed hospital which is said to be one of the largest children’s hospital in the world, and serves the entire province of Ontario, Canada. Dr. W. McKim Marriott, professor of pediatrics, Washington university’s school of medicine, St. Louis, Mo., was another clinician today who related details of infant feeding and child care with patients from the James Whitcomb Riley hospital. Dr. Marriott said 80 per cent of the population of the United States have had infantile paralysis at some time in their lives without having the paralysis. Cancer Cure Is Denied “Adults are protected from other attacks and are immune, to a certain degree, due to having had the disease in some form, as a fever, without having the paralysis,” he told the theater-full of medical men. Radium as a cure for breast cancers was denied by Dr. John F. Erdmann, professor of surgery of Columbia university, New York city, following a morning clinic. He said radium and X-ray diminished the plan and was efficient in skin cancers, but that it could not be held up as a cure for breast or colon cancers. “Cancers never -disappear of their own volition. Tumors, sometimes do, and often tumors or cysts become cancers in the hands of a quack specialist,” he asserted. The intestinal tract, with its thirty-five feet of tubing, can get blisters just like the inner tube of your automobile tire. Debunks Psyllium Seed In a clinic talk, Dr. Irvin Abell, professor of surgery of the Louisville school of medicine, told of diverticulosis, or the disease which causes the intestinal tube to blister and swell. “When these blisters break the infection spreads and a operation is necessary immediately in order to save life,” he declared. Cathartics, or patented products, were termed in many instances dynamites to the system. He suggested petroleum products for use. He debunked the use of psyillium seed as a cathartic with the comment: “You give that to rich patients at $1.50 an ounce, but 25 cents worth of flax-seed will do the same thing.” Two clinics, directed by Dr. Harold B. Cushing and Dr. Dean D. Lewis, with an address by Dr. Cyrus C. Sturgis, Ann Arbor, Mich., are scheduled for later today. Tonight children’s diseases will form the main addresses scheduled for the meeting. The banquet of the session will be held Friday night at the Claypool with Sip Robert A. Falconer, retiring president of Toronto university, and Frank B. Noyes, president of the Associated Press, as the main speakers. FOOD SCHOOL OPENS Kroger Course Is Started at Keith’s Theater.

Dr. Coulter Is , Chairman for Sale of Seals

~K

Dr. Stanley Coalter

Accepting the state chairmanship for the seventh consecutive year for sale of Christmas seals and health bonds to finance the fight against tuberculosis, Dr. Stanley Coulter today warned that the gain in saving lives from the disease is in danger due to economic factors caused by the depression. Following his selection by the state executive committee for sales of seals and bonds, Dr. Coulter announced that organization work in each of Indiana’s ninety-two counties would be started at once. “Just now when there is vast need for immediate relief in many ways,” Dr. Coulter said, “the very economic pressure which all communities face is breeding grourfd for an increase of tuberculosis. “This is no idle threat. Already the news has come to us that in thirteen of the larger cities of the country there was an increase in the death rate in 1931 from tuberculosis.” Goal of $200,000 has been set for the state. Marion county residents will be asked to buy at least 5,000,000 seals, the county tuberculosis association announces.

MILLS ADMITS DEFICIT FACED Treasury Chief Reveals Unbalanced Budget. By Scripps-Howard 'Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.—Treasury Secretary Ogden Mills has corroborated the prediction that the federal budget is not balanced. He did this is a political speech in behalf of President Hoover at Cincinnati Tuesday night. He also gave clear indication that the administration in December will suggest further reductions in federal expeditures, rather than increases in taxes, to balance the budget. He laid the basis for a claim that the unbalanced budget is due to increased appropriations made over the administration’s protest. These amounted to about $322,000,000 for emegrency public works to relieve unemployment. But independent estimates show that while this increased expenditure will add to the impending deficit that the new taxes are yielding at this time about $200,000,000 less than the treasury’s expectations on an annual basis. Mills’ indirect admission of an unbalanced budget follows the estimate of independent tax experts here, made on the basis of latest treasury figures, that the treasury probably will face a paper deficit of a billion dollars and an operating deficit of half a billion dollars next June 30. Weather Prophet Dies By United Press CHICAGO, Oct. 26.—John F.

Oct. 26. —Political sentiment in Ohio has swung toward President Hoover in the last month, a “checkup” poll being conducted by Scripps-Howard newspapers indicated today. Out of 15'759 votes, Hoover is trailing Franklin D. Roosevelt by only 2,321, whereas the newspapers’ first poll, taken in September, foretold a two-to-one walkaway for the New York Governor. The second poll was started to determine whether there had been a swing in sentiment since the earlier vote. The same territory is being covered, and, insofar as possible, the same voters are being asked to register their choices. At the end of the third day Hoover had 7,219 tc 8,540 for Roosevelt. The same territory in the corresponding period of the first poll gave Hoover 7,772 and Roosevelt 9,863. The final count in the September poll was 35,287 for Roosevelt to 16,089 for Hoover. On the basis of these figures, a 600,000 plurality for the Democratic ticket was predicted. The same poll showed 44,153 for prohibition repeal and 9,099 against repeal.
