PEEDS PLANS ‘FOR EXHIBITION

First Annual Fall Flower |

Festival to Open Saturday.

While a majority of the citizenry | splashed through the rain and won-

dered if the glowering skies spelled |:

a premature arrival of winter, members of the Indianapolis Dahlia Society speeded plans this week for the first annual Indianapolis Dahlia and Fall Flower Festival With 15 garden clubs co-operating, dahlia society leaders promised spectacular exhibits when. the show | opens in Brookside Community | House Saturday noon. It will continue through Sunday. More than 150 varieties of dahlias are to be listed, and more than 100 types of other garden flowers are expected to be entered, officials said. The Indianapolis Park Department is co-operating in arranging exhibits. To widen the scope of the festival, the society invited garden clubs to] enter free. Merchants and indi- | viduals are offering approximately 500 prizes.

White Is Manager

Garden clubs participating include the Marigold Club. the Arbutus Club, the Irvington Club, the North ‘End Club, the Garden Study Club, ‘the Harden section of the Munici‘pal Department Club, the Emerson Grove Club, the Spade and Trowel Club. the Indianapolis Garden Club, the garden section of the Women’s Department Club, the Neophyte | Garden Club, the Garden Friend | Club of Acton, the Forest Hills Club, | the Hawthorne Club and the Men’ $ | Garden Club of Indianapolis. | Charles S.

Officers of the society are Dr. W. E. Kennedy, president: Russell Manring, vice president; Raoul M. - Ayres, secretary-treasurer; Dr. A. E. White, propagator, and John E. Dean, publicity. The executive committee is composed of Mrs. C. Fehrenbach, Mrs. V. C. Forsythe, Willard Johns, Roscoe Smith, Ralph C. Swartz, R. O. Wenning and E. C. Zaring. : The festival is planned, Dr. Kennedy said, as a means of encouraging beautification of the city.

BENEFIT PAYMENTS TO FARMERS DROP

By United Press WASHINGTON, Oct. 1—Farm benefit payments in August dropped to $12,000,000 as the Agricultural Adjustment Administration continued liquidation of the crop reduction program invalidated last January by the Supreme Court, it was revealed today.

As the Bureau of Agricultural Economics estimated the farmer's cash income from farm products and government payments for August at $649.000,000—an $85,000,000 unseasonable drop front the July income —the benefit payments were shown to have been just half the $24,000,000 paid out in July. AAA officials hope to mail out first checks soon on the 1936 soil conservation program, which supplanted the crop program.

COMMEMORATE RILEY IN PROGRAM SUNDAY

A program of reading, a talk and music Sunday will commemorate the birth of James Whitcomb Riley, . Mrs. Mary Traub Busch, who is grranging the event, announced to"day The program, to be given at 2:30 ‘m. in the Cropsey Auditorium, Public Library, is to include readings by E. O. Snethen, a recitation by Mrs. Frank A. Symmes, a talk

Arsonists Usually Leave Behind Some Clews, Lynch Finds.

BY JERRY SHERIDAN “PFirebugs” are tricky persons catch, but there's always a loophole in every arson case, according to Bernard Lynch, Indianapolis fire prevention chief. Unlike most cities. Indianapolis is not troubled much with professional arsonists, according to Chief Lynch, who’ gives most of the credit for rnumerous convictions in arson cases to City Fire Chief Fred C. Kennedy, who has trained firemen to preserve evidence . of arson found on the scene. There has been no professional arson ring operating in Idiaapolis since about 1926, according to Chie: Lynch, who said the most difficult “firebugs” to catch are pyromaniacs, mentally unbalanced persons who set fire to buildings for no_apparent reason.

Complicated Jobs Simplified

The more complicated the mechanism used to fire a building, the easier it is to trace the crime, the

| chief said. He listed tools of arson-

ists, including the timid candle, the kerosene lantern, electrical short circuit systems for house wiring and the .spreading of naphtha and gasoline.

Detecting the crime of arson is as |

complicated as tracing down murderers, the chief’s methods indicated. Fingerprints on a milk bottle led to one conviction. The loss of waste rags from boxcar journal boxes another to justice, a chain of naphtha bottles and fuses left in a fired house sent another man to jail.

Modern science now aids firemen

in detecting arson, Mr. Lynch said.

Debris from the fire can be examined for presence of inflammable material. City and state chemist: often are called to help, he said. Most vicious arson case in Indianapolis’ history, Mr. Lyuch said, cost nine lives. The alleged offender was captured, but sufficient evidence was lacking for possible conviction, he added. Mr. Lynch, in charge of fire prevention since 1931, ha: no sympatny for arsonists. He said the ol¢ Roman law set punishinent for arso: at death by fire. Most cases, he said. are the wor of inexperienced persons, because f malice. Not many ca:zes involve in surance fraud motives, he said.

Two Men Set 160. Fires

A series of arson fires occurred Indianapolis about four years ag when two men set fire to more than 160 buildings. Both were pyromarn-

iacs and were caught, the chief said.

In 1932 more than 180 arson firs: were reported. It was then the bureau started its intensive campaig! against ‘“firebugs” son cases dropped to 90, with 23 al rests and 10 convictions. The nex year only 52 arson fires were Ie ported and the bureau made 27 ai - rests and convicted 21. Last year there were 39 arson

fires, 18 arrests and 16 convictions.

So far this year 36 have been 1¢-

ported, 15 arrests made and 13 co -

victions obtained.
