THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

CHARGES RIVER POLLUTION TO SANITARYBOARD City Endeavoring to Keep Streams Clean, Says Maurice Tennant. Belief that the Indianapolis sanitary district can not be held accountable for the pollution of White river was expressed by Maurice E. Tennant, sanitary board president, today in answer to a S4O 000 damage suite filed against the board. A suit filed in the Morgan, county circuit court by Mrs. Bess Buchanan Craig, owner of the Blue Bluffs resort on White river north of Martinsville. asks a $40,000 judgment frojn the Indianapolis sanitary district because of the pollution of the river. “Indianapolis is trying to do all that is possible to prevent stream pollution,” Mr. Tennant said. “At the present time, our sewage disposal system is inadequate, but we are doing our best. I believe no court will hand down a judgment against us when we are doing everything in our power to keep White river free from pollution.” Mr. stated that the city had no funds to build another unit to handle the sewage. Because of the $1.50 tax law, it is impossible for the municipality to borrow more money for the project. A loan from the public works administration will complete the activated sludge unit at a cost of $395,000, he said. Mr. Tennant pointed out that similar damage suits were filed against Indianapolis previous to the building of the present sewage plant. The completion of the plant put a stop to all complaints. The complaint filed by Mrs. Craig charges that sewage from Indianapolis is turned into White river, which pollutes the stream as far as Paragon. This condition is injurious to the health, comfort and property of persons owning land along the river, and has damaged the plaintiff, it is alleged. Sherman Townsend, secretary of the Central Indiana Fish and Game League, is co-operating with the plaintiff and her attorneys in the matter, it is said. EXPLAINS DETAILS OF PWA PROJECTS Engineering Society Hears Federal Examiner. Explanation of details in preparing public works projects was given in a talk before the Indianapolis Engineering Society yesterday by H. O. Garman, federal works board engineer examiner. For approval, each project must be proved through investigation to be financially economically and technically sound and socially desirable, Mr. Garman said. Selfliquidating projects, financed through income bonds, are favored, he added. Mr. Garman praised the stimulation effected by PWA and CWA operation.", as “dulling the edge of the effects of the depression.’* Between ten and fifteen cases calling for expenditures ranging from $6,000 to $10,000,000 have been reviewed by the local board each week, he said. BUSINESS REVIVAL FORECAST BY LABOR Stabilization of Dollar Has Restored Confidence, Is Belief. By United Press WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.—Stabilization of the American dollar in terms of gold has removed a “great obstacle” to restoration of business confidence and business men in general are planning a higher rate of activity this spring, the American Federation of Labor reported today in its monthly survey of business. Coincident with the optimistic labor review were official and semiofficial reports of new' business gains, prospects of a heavy flow of investment money back into private industry and a continued mounting tide of revenue into the federal treasury.

HEAD Anti-Organization Forces Meet Attack at Republican Club. “No organization, political or business, ever made a success without a leader,” Arthur G. Gresham, president, told members of the Eastland Republican Veterans Club last night during an attack on anti-organiza-tion forces. Those who stand aloof from the Republican part/, crying “bossism,” either are factionalists themselves or are not sincerely interested in success of the party, he added.

Why the Sudden Change to Liquid Laxatives?

Doctors have always recognized the value of the laxative whose dose can be measured, and whose action can be thus regulated to suit individual need. The public, too, is fast returning to the use of liquid laxatives. People have learned that a properly prepared liquid laxative brings a perfect movement without any discomfort at the time, or after. The dose of a liquid laxative can be varied to suit the needs of the individual. The action can thus be regulated. It forms no habit; you need not take a “double dose” a day or two later. Nor will a mild liquid laxative irritate the kidneys. The wrong cathartic may often do more harm than good. Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin is a prescription, and is perfectly safe. • Its laxative action is based on senna —a natural laxative. The bowels will not become dependent on this form of help. Dr. Caldwell's Syrupy Pepsin it at all druggists. Member N. R. A.

INDEX REVEALS FURTHER GAINS IN FARMPRICES Cotton and Hogs Lead List: Butter and Eggs Drop. By Seripps-Hoicard Seictptper .illiancs WASHINGTON, Feb. &. Farm prices are up again, slightly. In terms of the department of agriculture's index, the rise is measured in two points. But in terms of money, cotton went up seven-tenths of a cent between mid-December and mid-January; hogs went up 17 cents; the prices of butter and eggs declined. Small as two points is in the farm price index, it is transformed into a much more imposing figure when the department shows that the index of prices received by farmers for twenty-seven agricultural products was seventy on Jan. 15, as compared with fifty-one a year ago. This likewise shows that as compared with average prices prevailing in the five-year period from August, 1909 to July 1914, prices on Jan. 15 were 30 per cent off, while a year ago they were 49 per cent off. The index of the prices farmers pay as consumers of farm and industrial products was unchanged on Jan. 15, being 116 per cent of the pre-war parity, also represented as 100 for the five-year period. When the prices farmers receive reach 100 on the index (and the prices farmers pay also reach 100, they will be regarded as on a parity with industry, and the Rooseveltian farm objective will have been attained. The following figures, comparing prices farmers received in pre-war daj’s with prices that prevailed nine and eleven months after President Roosevelt took office, demonstrate what the new deal has done toward agricultural recovery: Commodity Aver. prices of Nov. 15 Jan. 15, 1909-1914 1933 1934 Cotton, lb 12 4c 9.6 c 10.30 Wheat, bu 88.4 c 71.1 c 69.4 c Apples, bu. .... 96.1 c 73.1 c 89.4 c Hogs. 100 lbs... $7.22 $3.70 $3 06 Eggs, doz 21.5 c 24.0 c 17 6c Butterfat, lb 26.3 c 20.4 c 10.1 c INDEX NUMBERS Farm prices. ail groups ... 100 71 70 Grain 100 74 75 Cotton and Cottonseed.... 100 76 82 Prices paid by farmers 100 116 116 THIEF TAKES CASH, CLOTHING FROM HOME Woman Passes Thug on Street, Questions Him.

Police said that they previously had received reports of a prowler in the vicinity.
