GREAT WORK DONE BY CITY CHURCHES FOR HEALTH CAUSE Religion Helps to Combat Illness, Declaration of Superintendent at Methodist Hospital. ALL DENOMINATIONS ARE UNITED Chapel Open to Patients of All Major Faiths; Anniversaries Always Remembered. BY HALTER I. HICKMAN TimM Drarr.atir Fditor The Indianapolis church cavalcade is marching to health with the aid of religion. “Religion has its therapeutical value and it helps people to get well.” That’s the opinion of Dr. .John G. Henson, superintendent of the Methodist hospital, North Capitol avenue at Sixteenth

street. Both the great Protestant and Catholic hospitals of this city have reached that harmonious situation in which members of the church cavalcade, regardless of afliliation, are received. One of the biggest steps forward by Dr. Benson at the Methodist, hospital is his action toward a board of chaplains composed of representatives of every major religion. Realizing the thera|>eutiral values of religion. Dr. Benson has done a splendid thing. As soon as a patient reaches this hospital, his church connections are recorded on a card. Pastors Are Notified Then connection Is made with the pastor, the priest, or the Rabbi, a card being sent immediately by mail. Pastors of all denominations and creeds now go into the Methodist hospital just as they do into the Catholic hospitals. In this way Dr Benson has caught the significance of the marching church cavalcade of the city. This is the fifth of a series of stories telling of the advancement of churches in Indianapolis. The sixth will appear Wednesday. The hospital and the church no longer arc denominationally separate; their avenues of services have been linked. Illness is not denominational. The church cavalcade has realized this in the recent period of economic depression. Church \ I ways Near The church is always near the hospital. Realizing that fact. Dr. Benson has seen one of his fondest dreams come true in this new day of service and faith. A chapel has been created on the first floor of the nw wing of the Methodist hospital. In this small, but mightv big, chapel, the symbols of the major religions may be found. No one of Protestant. Catholic or Jewish faith will feci strange In this chapel, because symbols of those religions are all present. The chapel never is closed. Many members of the Indianapolis church cavalcade have worshipped there. It is known as the Carev Memorial chapel and was the gift of Mrs. Mary Hanson Carey of Indianapolis.

Sam White, Universal business man. died Monday night in a Terre Haut haspital. victim of bullets fired early in the day in a picketing clash at the Bunsen No. 4 coal mine, near his home. John Rip" Caveny, mine guard, cave himself up at Terre Haute a few hours after White dnd. He Is charged with shoottnc down White as he stood in the picket line near the pit. He refused to discuss the shooting. Ominous Quiet Over Region An ominous quiet pervaded the region today and fear was voiced that anew outbreak would come before night. Sheriff Earl Smith indicated, however, that a desire for revenge, rather than the dispute between the Associated Miners’ Union and (he United Mine Workers, may have been responsible for the tragedy. Without a personal reason for doing so. Sheriff Smith said, it was improbably that Cavenv would single out White from approximately 200 pickets as the object of his attack White, a filling station proprietor at. Universal, had incurred the ire of Caveny several weeks ago. when he filed garnishee proceedings against the mine guard's wages to collect a bill. P.anes Fly Over Area Captain Paul B. Harter of the Indiana national guard arrived at the mine late Monday and announced he had troops at Ft. Knox, Ky„ in readiness should they be transferred by Governor Paul V. McNutt. The Governor was due at Lake Wawasee today to attend a meeting of the Indiana Democratic Editorial Association. Two national guard planes flew over the mine area late Monday and reported back to Adjutant-General Elmer F Straub at Ft. Knox Monday night. The Bunsen mine reopened, employing approximately 150 associated miners, three months ago. It was the scene of another disturbance early this spring, when the tipple and engine room were destroyed by a bomb. PROBE PHONY $5 BILL 'lan Suspected of Passing Fake Money for Whisky Is Questioned.

FAMINE FEAR IS ADDED TO CUBAN CRISIS Havana Abnormally Quiet After Killing of 20 in Monday’s Riots. MACHADO MAY RESIGN " U. S. Ambassador Works to Prevent Revolt and Loss of Lives. BY LAWRENCE S. HAAS United Prew Staff Correspondent HAVANA, Aug. B.—The threat of famine added to Havana’s perils todav and the government broadcast radio appeals for merchants to reopen their doors and for striking transportation employes to return to work. The city was abnormally quiet after Monday's riots in which twenty persons were killed and 150 wounded. Twenty were reported i critically wounded, but no more had died. Stocks of food were almost depleted, and the shortage already was noticeable. No additional food supplies were being brought to the j city. The department of interior radio : station broadcast the government's appeal to merchants and strikers at intervals through the morning. It was emphasized that there was no danger to the stor"' - which opened. Only a few responded, however. Welles Is Busy Knots if Cubans gathered a* street corners to offer disillusioned comments upon the inaccuracy of rumors Monday that President Ger- ’ ardo Machado had agreed to resign. Sumner Welles. American ambassador. renewed his conferences with political leaders, seeking a peaceful solution of the troubled Cuban situation. It was reliably reported. althouEh not officially confirmed, that Welle*’ formula for solution embodies the following points; 1— Complete renovation of the 1 senate in 1935. 2 Election of half of the chamber in 1935 and half in 1937. 3 Machado to request a "leav® of absence." naming Dr. Carlos Miguel de Cespedes, secretary of state. Dc Cespedes thus would succeed Maj chado in the presidency. V. S. Ultimatum Hinted Apparently Machado still was resisting acceptance of the terms, with the support of certain liberals in thp chamber and other adherents. It was rumored Welles had issued an ultimatum giving Machado seventy-two hours to comply, but the report was questionable, as Welles insistently has stated he issued no ultimatum. Many followers of the opposition were in hiding today as a result of Monday's slaughter. Advices from Santa Clara province * said the food shortage there was serious, with much suffering among the poor. Various demonstrations occurred in the provinces. Machado to Speak Today Machado was expected to speak today, most probably before congress. At the moment he is sole dictator by virtue of the action of congress Monday night in suspending civil liberties for thirty days. The army controlled the city, but | there were reports that there was dissatisfaction with Machado within its ranks. A resolution, introduced in the chamber Monday night by a Machado man. proposed that congress protest to the American congress regarding Ambassador Welles’ acj tivities. There were indications that army officers were uncertain of their proper course. Some were said to see in the mediation instituted by Welles hope for solution of the country’s political troubles. If Machado proved obstinate and the only course left to the army was ruthless shooting down of citizens or repudiation of Machado, many believed Machado, would be the laser, and the army would go over to the opposition. Fire Upon Crowds The army moved into the city from provincial barracks at the end of a tragic day. replete with bloodshed and fighting. Welles offered his solution, involving Machado's exit. News of it seeped out and led to a general belief that Machado actually had resigned. In a score of cities people turned out into the streets singing and shouting. Here they jammed into the broad avenue leading to the presidential palace, and gathered in groups about impromptu spcechmakers in Central park. There was a burst of machine gun fire from a group of police. The shooting spread. The crowd stampeded toward the American embassy. Police turned them back with rifle and machine gun fire. The cheers and songs turned to screams as the crowd fled for shel* ter. ADJOURN RATE HEARING Rebuttal in Water Company Case to Be Offered Thursday.

It was pointed out that on the day he disappeared July 17. Sanborn told business associates a man was waiting to take him to Long Island. He drew $2,000 from a bank, of which only $533 remained when his body was found. Extortion Theory Advanced It would be in accord with thp methods used by some kidnapers in recent abductions, if he had been lured to Long Island on a c upposed business deal, and then attacked. Sanborn was a big. rugged man who would have put up a strong fight. Hp was killed by two bullet wounds, but he also suffered a blowon the head.
