Stone- Youth Diesin Muncie; Brother Lives

By United Press MUNCIE, Ind. Jan. 18.—Death today had ended ‘the suffering of Charles Wagner, 18, victim of a mysterious malady which slowly was turning his body to stone. A brother, William, 11, also suffering the ossification disease, continued to live. The boys,. sons of Murray Wagner, a WPA worker, have been victims of the disease for most of their lives. Charles was the first afflicted— after he fell and broke his leg eight years ago. William became a victim after a similar leg tracture five years ago. Unable to attend school, the two boys have spent all of the last few years in bed or in wheel chairs. Completely crippled, Charles curled his useless legs beside him in a wheel chair, permitting him maximum freedom of his arms until their muscles became fibrous and useless. For nearly two years William was able to walk after being assisted to his feet but In recent years he likewise has been confined to a wheel chair or bed. Charles died yesterday. Funeral services will be held tomorrow.

PROBE SLAYING

throughout Ohio Valley.

Week-end rains sent flood-swollen streams in southern Indiana still ! farther out of their banks today ! while the crest was reached in most Lorthern sections. At Vincennes, more than 700 WPA workers today battled along two =xtensive levee fronts to keep Wabash and White River flood waters from inundating the entire southern half of Knox County. A break in the Brevort levee—a ‘system that extends from Vincennes down the Wabash to Mount Carmel and up the White River side to Decker—was being repaired today by 300 workers south of Hazleton.

Break Near Vincennes

‘Another break was being repaired in the Plass Ditch levee, where it empties into White River. And a third break was being repaired in " the Niblack levee system; north. of Vincennes. Water, river men said, was rising slowly in both the Wabash and White River. If the Brevort system breaks, they said, all of southern Knox County would he flooded with between 2 and 10 feet of water. Emergency work on the levees began Saturday morning. Additional families were forced from their lowland homes as the water spread. Many southern Indiana highways were closed and others were kept passable by State Highway crews pulling cars through inundated spots with trucks. 5 One death was attributed directly to the flood. Roy Dugan, 26, Brownstown, U. S. Forestry Service employee, drowned when his automobile plunged into swollen waters of White River at washout of a bridge approach near Brownstown.

Wabash Passes Crest

- Paul Cunningham, - 27, Crawfordsville Electric Co. employee, was taken to a hospital in serious condition after a boat capsized and he spent 45 minutes in near-freezing water of flooded Sugar Creek. The Wabash River was reported to have passed its crest at- Lafayette and Attica, but still was above flood stage from Terre Haute south. The Indianapolis Weather Bureau said the week-end rains probably will cause higher crests than indicated last week, but doubted that additional damage would be great.

Ohio Tops 42 Feet

Heavy rains increased the flood threat along the Ohio river in Indiana and Kentucky. The Ohio was at 42.8 feet, 7.8 feet above flood stage today and the United States Weather Bureau predicted it would reach 45 feet, highest since 1933, by Saturday. Several families in outlying sections were ready to move. Other readings along the Ohio (Turn to Page Three)

OF TAXI DRIVER

Police Believe Robbery Was Motive in Brutal Murder Here.

With one man under arrest on a vagrancy charge, police and deputy sheriffs today pressed their invespigation into the slaying of William Ross, 30, of 217 N. Illinois St., taxi

driver. His body was found yesterday on Fall Creek Parkway, near 42d st. Ross’ pockets were empty when his hody was found, leading authorities Lo believe he had been shot when he resisted an attempted holdup. Dr. E. R. Wilson, coroner, said Ross had been shot three times, once through the heart and twice in the head. Under arrest is Bernard Niesse, 37, of 1855 N. Pennsylvania St. who was captured in the basement of the home of Merle L. Denney, 4200 Arlington Ave. about an hour and a half after Ross’ body was found. Niesse, held under $5000 bond, has denied any connection with the murder, detectives said. Police said he had been identified by Robert Huggins, 625 Orange St., taxi driver, as one of two men who entered Ross’ cab in front of the Claypool Hotel shortly after midnight Saturday. A hearing for Niesse, held on a vagrancy charge, was set for Jan. 96 in Municipal Court today by Judge Charles M. Karabell. Ross’ body was found by George Samson, 3831 Winthrop Ave. There was no evidence of a struggle, police reported. : Ross’ cab was found by deputy sheriffs several hours later parked in the driveway of the home of Edward Riebel, 4343 N. Arlington Ave. Niesse Relates Story Meanwhile, Niesse had been arrested by Deputy Sheriffs Max Meith and James Brundage. Mr. Denney told the deputies that he arrived home about 1:30 a. m. and heard moans coming from the basement. Upon investigation, he found Niesse and held him at the point of a revolver until Deputies Meith and Brundage arrived. Niesse told police, they said, that he had been robbed of $25 and slugged by two men he met in a tavern. They offered to take him home, Niesse was quoted as saying, but instead started driving into the country. When he remonstrated, they struck him on the head, Niesse said. The next thing he knew was when he regained consciousness in Mr. Denney’s basement. >

Traffic Victim Dies Here; State Toll at

Michael Kennelly Is Fifth

1349 Were Killed in 1936, Compared to 1196 During 1935.

A new high of 1349 automobile deaths for 1936, as compared with 1196 fatalities in 1935, was reported today by Dr. Verne K. Harvey, State Health Board director. While new low death rates were set last year in four disease classi-

fications, the total deaths from external causes, including all types of accidents, homicides and suicides, mounted to a new record. The 1936 external causes figure was 4328 as compared with 3434 in 1935. Total births for 1936 were 53,800 as compared with 52,799 in 1935, and these figures, “like = marriages, roughly follow economic conditions,” Dr. Harvey said. : There were 176 murders in the state last year, an increase of 21 over 1935, while suicides dropped from 524 to 480 last year. While improved business conditions apparently have no effect. on murder, Dr. Harvey pointed out that suicides, and economic conditions follow the same curve. Comparative Figures Given Total accidental deaths from all causes was 3672 last year and 2755 the year before. Automobile deaths accounted for a large share of this increase. Comparative figures on deaths due

to disease follow: : 1935 Tuberculosis Typhoid Fever ... Diphtheria Scarlet Fever Measles Whooping Cough neumonia Influenza civ ah Aa Diarrhea Under 2 Years .... Cancer ,920 ¥ Syphilis 225 192 New lows were established for typhoid fever, diphtheria, measles and whooping cough, while cancer, which has shown a steady increase in recent years, reached a new high,

Dr. Harvey said. There were no

deaths from smallpox in either,

year. Maternity Rate Drops

Deaths from puerperal causes, or causes involving pregnancy, were

247 in 1936, a new low. The 1935 |

figure was 261, Dr. Harvey said, and probably improved public health supervision in rural areas was responsible. The pneumonia and influenza rates, both high last year, are correlated, Dr. Harvey pointed out. Highest influenza rates were reported for 1923, with 3523 deaths, and 1929, with 23284.

FILE NEW AFFIDAVIT AGAINST UNDERWOOD

A new affidavit charging Harry Underwood, real estate man, with embezzlement of $1500 was filed in Criminal Court today by Prosecutor Herbert Spencer. He said it was filed because a previous affidavit was regarded faulty on a legal technicality. Underwood still is held under $25,000 bond pending a new investigation of the case by the Grand Jury convening next week. Underwood, arrested last June, made an alleged statement in which he said he lost $60,000 . collected

for others, to gamblers, according to authorities.
