—Conservation— NEW BETHEL'S TROUBLE CITED AS STATE WOE Hundred Other Places in Indiana Declared Facing Menace. BY WILLIAM f. COLLINS Tivn* Serial Writer Why berate New Bethel? This little town of pleasant persons down on the Shelbyville road is no dirtier than a hundred other towns I can name offhand. For that matter, it is not nearly so dirty as Indianapolis. The only trouble is that New Bethel was found out. The bacillus typhosus is no respecter of persons. It is as liable to pie’- a Governor a stone's throw from Fall creek as a laborer on Buck cieek. Only the omnipotent power that runs things has made it passible for the people of this state to escape a general epidemic of typhoid fever. If this power had made the typhoid fever baccillus to live five hours out of contact with the human body instead of only thirty minutes, with the septic condition of the streams in this state, we all would be subject to typhoid as De Lessep's workers in Panama were subject to yellow fever. INphodi fever is caused by one thing only—contact with water that •Tarries the virus or contact with food contaminated by it or by persons known as carriers. We have cases on record where cows wading in polluted streams have carried typhoid on their udders to the barn, thence to the milk, which is an excellent food for B. Typhosus, and from there to the unfortunate soul who drank the milk. Tnese cases are not rare. This may have happened in New Bethel. The fact remains that New Bethel - polluted stream running past its doorstep, but what town or city in Indiana has not? Brands Kiver Dirtiest We have the filthiest river in the United States running from Broad Ripple to Mars Hill, and it contains more pathogenic germs per cubic inch than there are people in North America. How do you know that it has not been the origin of a vast number of cases of sicknesss, some of which resulted in death? Its insidious encroachment on the . health of our community is only noted when someone of us dies of i a spectacular dreaded illness. There is not the slightest excuse for any \ health officer or noted doctor to lambast New Bethel for being unclean when his own home town reeks i with the stench of his and his j neighbors' untreated sewage. It will take a major epidemic of typhoid fever or of amoebic dysen- ; tery or of fulminating cases of sep- I tic sinus infection to awaken the citizens of this "no mean city” j to the fact that we do not smell like a rase. We treat only about 60 per i rent of our own sewage that passes into White river and take the full j burden of all of the untreated sew- i age poured into it from Nobelsville. Anderson and Muncie. The United States government last year made it possible for all towns and cities that so desired to clean up pollution. I have told you; about that. At this writing only I seven towns in the state have ar- j rived at that point of civic pride which enabled them to clean up. You may congratulate Winchester j as being the only town on White river to do it. The rest of us on this stream brag about our front yards and our churches and schools i and what not but resemble the man who puts a clean shirt over a suit j of dirty underwear and tries to pass j as being well dressed. It is marked down on the calendar of some future year that the people of this state are to become civilized. On that date we will have an end; to stream pollution a major dis-1 grace among a host of others that' you all know about. The forerun- i ner of this ethereal condition will be a desire on the part of most of us to eliminate from the public pay I rolls a multitude of officials afflicted with moral halitosis. Impeded by Tolitics Under the skm of every civic sore! you will find a political group living on it. If such were not the case, there would be no suppuration.; An investigation of the reasons for ! the lack of much-needed civic improvements during the last ten years has always ended in a political labyrinth of subterfuge and evasion for which we have not yet found a remedy. There are fewer default- I ing public olTicials in durance vile today than types from any other i social strata. But we are getting away from New Bethel. Be sure your own house is not made of glass before you heave a brick down the Michigan road. Make it possible for the health officials of this state to end water pollution by giving them a law next January that will put a stop to it. We do not have such a law now. j all opinions to the contrary not- i withstanding. We can not reach' any municipality or person that I desires to make a cesspool of public water*. So long as we have 570 miles of grossly polluted running water in Indiana, expect anything. In the meantime, before this condition is corrected, especially in the summer season, inoculate with para-typhoid, but. better still, stay away from 90 i per cent of our streams and lakes and look before you leap into the other 10 per cent. tobacco’andTslot MACHINES ARE STOLEN Thieves Break Into Two Groceries and Lunchroom.

McNutt thus far has not indicated who; if any, the successor to Mr. Minton will be. However, it is reported the work will be put in charge of Herbert P. Kenney, New Albany, who now holds the position of assistant counselor.

So He Took the $50,000

Dillinger Offer for Rehabilitation of Convicts Better Than U. S. Can Do, Doctor to Learn.

B Jf Timex Special W WASHINGTON. June 23.—Dr. Earl Ellicutt Dudding. who devotes W his time and energy to rehabilitation of former convicts, served notice on the Federal Reconstruction Finance Corporation today that unless he is allotted $50,000 to start a rehabilitation farm, he will accept that sum from John Dillinger.

And Dillinger is ready to give him the cash. Dr. Dudding claims. The doctor wants to establish a farm in West Virginia where former convicts may be made into scientific farmers. In a letter to the RFC. Dr. Dudding said: "I expect you to make the loan, and if I do not gee it I shall accept it from John Dillinger. "He read in a newspaper about the farm project we contemplated and he sent me word that he would furnish the money to buy and equip the farm without any condition o I repayment.

Mr. Vulk hasn't shown any partiality in his selection for his garden. There are flowers and vegetables. and around the edge a promising border of waving green corn. City pigeons and inquisitive robins bothered him a little for a while, but with his inventive mind at work, Mr. Vulk took care of that. Just in the center of his small garden. he has placed a realistic scarecrow, to guard the rows of carrot,

Mrs. Lenora Meder, president of i the Chicago Business and Professional Women’s Club, is quoted as saying recently and recklessly, "There isn’t a professional or club woman living, no matter how successful. who wouldn’t chuck it all to marry a good man. tt tt a HERE are some typical Indianapolis comments: Miss Jessie Levy, brilliant defense counsel for Harry Pierpont, Charles Makley and Harry Clark, Dillinger mobmen —It’s difficult to say. I haven’t been around many good men recently. However, I absolutely wouldn't give up my profession for any man. Miss Levy recently was admitted to practice before the United States supreme court. Miss Frances Holliday, candidate for legislature in the primaries and prominent Junior League member—l think a woman has a right to both marriage and a career if the two don't conflict. I believe women on the whole look upon marriage as an instinctive and natural experience. Mrs. B. B. McDonald, secretary of the Federation of Community Civic Clubs, and prominent in other club work—l don’t agree with Mrs. Meder. There are some women who are born good housekeepers and some who are born good business or professional women. Incidentally, by the same token, there are some men who are born good cooks and housekeepers. In other words, I think every one. regardless of sex. should do whatever is best suited for him or her. Mrs. Evelyn Mess, well known etcher—l believe that statement to be true. I think that most professional women would give up their careers if the choice were placed before them. Among those who refused to comment were Miss Marcia Morrison, winner of a graduate scholarship in advanced psychology to Missouri university, and Miss Louise Ford, president of the Indianapolis Business and Professional Women's Club. JOHN GIBERSON HELD ON BURGLARY CHARGE Suspect Is Cousin of Alleged Slayer, Police Claim.

Fred Davis. Tipton Banker, Is Dead Bp t it ited Press TIPTON, Ind.. June 23.—Fred E. Davis, 76. president of the Citizens National bank here, died last night after an illness of five weeks.

“Somehow I would not like to take this money from John, but the farm must be bought even if I have to buy it with his money. Never in the twenty years I have been in the work have I taken any money from crooks, but I may have to. “I hope you will not force me to take this Dillinger money.” Judging from the current requirements for RFC loans. Dr. Duddmg might as well add that famous last line: “So I took $50,000.” V

But Mr. Vulk doesn’t think it anything unusual. He eyes the green, flourishing rows of vegetables with satsfaction. “A fine garden!” Mr. Vulk comments.

(Continued From Fage One) stock of the Shareholders Investment Corporation and was to be held in trust. "At the time of the purchase of the assets of the Shareholders’ Investment Corporation, Mr. Shaneberger was a director thereof and knew of the hazardous conditions of ! the Fletcher-American Company, but at no time did he give the stockholders such information,” Mr. Kelso’s report also alleged. Mr. Shaneberger since has refused to rescind the exchange of stocks or to take action in behalf of the stockholders, it was charged. A petition filed by Homer Buley, : one of the stockholders in the ! Shareholders’ Investment Corporation, who exchanged his bonds for those of the Indianapolis Bond and Share Corporation, demands that Mr. Shaneberger sue the Fletcher American Company directors for damages. As the result of Mr. Wallace appealing Mr. Kelso’s decision, the question is pending before Federal Judge Robert C. Baltzell, as to i whether Mr. Kelso has the power | to remove a trustee when convinced | that “the best interests of the j bankrupt would be better served by the appointment of another person ;as the trustee of the bankrupt's j estate.” Denies Knowing of Moves Declaring that the American National bank is anew concern with no connection between the defunct Fletcher American National bank, James Roegan, president of the bank since its organization last August, said that he was not familiar with details of the alleged manipulations. “This is anew organization which has started out with a clean slate,” Mr. Roegan said. "Although we took over the assets and part of the worthy liabilities of the old company, there is no connections between the two banks.” Mr. Wallace said today that although he is trustee for the bankrupt Shareholders’ Investment Corporation, that he knew nothing about Mr. Kelso's report. He declared that everything was in the hands of his attorney, Hubert Hickam. Questions Kelso’s Powers Mr. Hickam said that he appealed Mr. Kelso's ruling to remove Mr. Wallace as trustee because Mr. Kelso had no legal right to do .so without giving a notice of holding a public hearing. “Mr. Kelso stated in his report that he wished to cast no reflections upon Mr. Wallace through his removal actions.” Mr. Hickam asserted. “However, we feel that such actions would reflect upon the removed trustee.” Mr. Wallace did not sue the directors of the Shareholders Investment Company as Mr. Buley asked because Mr. Buley and other stockholders failed to put up money necessary for the litigation expenses, Mr. Hickam said. Shaneberger Is Absent Roy C. Shaneberger could not be reached today. His attorney, William H. Thompson, declared that Mr. Shaneberger acted only as an intermediary between the Indianapolis Bond and Share corporation and the defunct Shareholders Investment Corporation. "Mr. Shaneberger refused to consider Mr. Buley’s demands that the stock transactions between the two concerns be recinded,” Mr. Thompson said. The majority of the stockholders assented to the origin? l Mr. Thompson said. CITY CYCLISTS PLAN PART IN UNIQUE RACE Bicycle Dealers Meet to Discuss Transcontinental Event.

“Cut it off, sergeant, I'll pay for it!” This plea, groaned over and over again. last night made police think Andrew Hartwell, 26, Negro, 924 North Traub avenue, was quite a man.
