FARLEY SLAMS Li'L ARTHUR IN ADDRESS HERE Senator Worthy Only of Retirement, He Tells Democrats. * • Continued From Page One) dispenser extraordinary for the Roosevelt administration. For a few minutes of his short stay here, James A. Farley. the ardent Catholic, became a private citizen and journeyed to the home of Bishop Joseph Elmer Ritter to pay his respects to the bishop. The rrowd which heard him sp i ak at the Claypool filled the large Riley room to capacity and overflowed on to ‘he mezzanine and into oth®r dining rooms. A system of amolifiers carried the speech to those outside the Riley room. Omer S. Jackson.state chairman, presided. Governor Paul V. McNutt welcomed Mr. Farley. Senator Frederick Van Nuys introduced him. All were cheered with great enthusiasm bv the crowd which, according to Mr. Jackson, was the greatest any organization ever attracted to the hotel. Robbie Played for a "Chump’’ Mr. Farley told them all that Senator Robinson was being •played for a chump'* by his smarter Republican -colleagues. He charged that Republicans, who had aided the President in an emergency and whose aid had been acknowledged by him, now found themselves without anything to campaign about and were casting about lor an issue—"any issue” —on which they might go to the people next November. "They are beginning to catch their breath after the stunning popular rebuke of 1932,’’ Mr. Farley commented. "The real leaders of the Republican party did not dare assail the President, for they knew- that the country is behind him.” he explained of Senator Robinson's plight. Recalls Robinson Attacks "So they cast about for somebody rash enough and foolish enough to jeopardize his own political future hv doing the thing they dared not do or were ashamed to do themselves. and the choice fell on your senator, perhaps on the theory that his political future was not worth worrying about injinv case.” Mr. Farley then traced Senator Robinson's varied views on just what the present administration is. pointing out that Li'l Arthur had likened it within a very few days to Russian monarchism. Russian Communism and Italian Fascism in that order. This led him to his first mention j of Sherman Minton, Democratic ' candidate for senator, who had re- j reived a remarkable ovation when | he was introduced earlier in the j evening. Mr. Farley, who glossed over the hitter pre-convention and convention fight between Mr*: Peters and the McNutt forces, said that all Indiana democracy was united behind Mr. i Minton and that the party nation- j ally would be proud to have him in j the senate. No Ordinary Campaign “This is no ordinary congressional campaign,” Mr. Farley thundered. "Our President has been challenged; his policies have been belittled and misrepresented and our political adversaries are boldly proclaiming that their object is to elect a national legislature that will repudiate what this administration has offered. "They would set aside the processes that have made our progress out of the depression a world marvel; they would put in reverse the car of progress and re-establish the system that brought the richest nation in the world to a plight none of us would have deemed possible. “They want a congress typified by Arthur Robinson.” he added, reminding his hearers that the senate press gallery recently had voted Senator Robinson the senator who best could be "dispensed with." Scoffs at G. O. P. Boasts Mr. Farley scoffed at Republican boasts of progress and said that, privately, the Republicans know they are doomed to defeat this fall. "Indiana,” he declared near the rnd of his speech, "had been out of luck for many years when the 1932 election rescued her to a large extent from the affliction of her congressional delegation. "Now it ts up to you to complete the job and substitute for your time-serving, opportunist, do-noth-ing senior senator, the independent v able nominee of our party. Take out Arthur Robinson and put in his place the Honorable Sherman Minton.” Mr. Farley left Indianapolis for the west immediately after his speech.

Crawfordsville Bathers Brave Disease, Death in Sugar Creek, Polluted by Acid and City’s Sewage

Sulphuric Solution From Wire Mill Found in Stream. DANGER SIGNS MISSING Engineer’s Report Urging Disposal Plant Is Ignored. (Continued From Page One) $25,000 and loaned the remainder over a period of twenty-five years with an average annual retirement of the loan at $3,000 plus $1,500 interst at 4 per cent. The same plant built in normal times would cost $150,000, with no grant from the federal government. Crawfordsville residents point with pride to the new $150,000 city hall. Furniture in the offices ranks with the finest in city halls of Indiana. Pollution Is Reported In that city hall is the record of the engineer's pollution survey, filed deep among other ‘ unfinished business.” Councilmen, seated in the rich interior of the council chamber, can read these quotes from the survey; "Iron wastes, resulting from the discharge of pickling liquor, that is. partially spent sulphurie acid, into the sewer system is indicated. Pickling liquor in large volumes is destructive to fish life, and what is worse, from the standpoint of the nuisance created and the hazard to public health, is inhibitive to the natural bacteriological processes of self-purification.” says the survey. "The water of sugar creek, below Crawfordsville, is unmistakably polluted by the discharge of sanitary sewage and industrial wastes of the city. Unsafe for Bathing "For at least a distance of six miles below Crawfordsville, Sugar creek waters are unsafe for drinking, bathing and wading purposes, unsafe for livestock watering, and decidedly deleterious to fish life.” The report points out that it is almost impossible to swim without taking water into the body. "This represents a, hazard w'hich can not be ignored. There have been numerous examples of typhoid fever, para-typhoid, cholera, djsenterv, and other intestinal disease; contract through bathing in contaminated waters. "Blood and skin infections, and throat and nasal disorders originating in this wav are not uncommon. Fish taken from the stream as well as milk produced by cattle which have access to the stream are subject to contamination and are regarded as unsafe for human consumption. Hazard to Health "Sugar creek below' Crawfordsville must be regarded as a potential hazard to the public health. ... it is apparent that modern sewage treatment facilities must be installed within a few years.” Lex Clore, city engineer, differs with the engineer's findings and similar findings by engineers of the sanitary division of the state board of health on the stream's ability to carry its load of pollution. "Sugar creek has a high dilution and aeration with a good rock bottom which aids in purification. And there's the cost. A plant for proper disposal with intercepting sewers would cost SIOO,OOO or $150,000,” says Mr. Clore. When it is pointed out to him that children swim in the stream near sewer outlets, and that fishermen attempt to catch fish at the same spots, he replies with the customary Crawfordsville answer: "They know' better. They can swim safely above the dam.” C. of C. Urges Plant The Craw'fordsville Chamber of Commerce, headed by Forest Ward, ice cream manufacturer, favors a disposal plant. The chamber and Mr. Ward understand the futility of attempting to bring tourists to one of the state's most beautiful creeks, with acids and human wastes pouring illness and obnoxious bacteria into the stream. The chamber desires that the signs pointing "This Way to General Lew Wallace's Home.’’ always be kept well painted. But it also desires to see the time when the lack of signs below the dam on Sugar creek will not find: Boys diving off rocks into a creek tainted with sulphuric acid and sewage bacteria. Gills of dead fish lying on the sandy creek islands, colored a rustred by the iron wastes from the wire mill. Sewage odors emanating from the creek penetrating the town's garden spot, the Spring Ledge Golf and Country Club. Next; One City Where Cleanliness Is Next to Godliness.
