CITY NEEDS EMERGENCY WORK SAYS MELPOLDER

COMMENCE TO PROBE INDIANAPOLIS VOTING

BY LEASED WIRE. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Jan. 4. Following closely upon the heels of the Investigation that resulted in the arrest of 114 Terre Haute officials and politicians, the federal grand Jury today began its Inquiry Into alleged Irregularities In Indianapolis at the last election. Since Saturday, deputy United States marshals have served subpoenas upon 100 local men demanding their appearance before the grand Jury this week. County Auditor Patten was called before the grand Jury this week. County Auditor Patten was called before the grand Jury today with all his records of registrations for the election which waB held on November 3. Federal district attorney Dailey today Bald the Terre Haute investigation was practically at an end.

That more emergency employment or additional township relief funds must be provided to prevent Inadequate relit because of the industrial depression was the declaration of Johu Melpolder, managing secretary of the Central Charity bureau at the frst annual reorganization meeting this afternoon. "Inadequate relief Is as baneful In its pauperizing effects as is indiscriminate relief." Mr. Melpolder said. "As the township trustee can give but $1 a week relief to any family Irrespective of the number of members, the burden falls on private organisations. The $3,000 in this year's budget of the central bureau will maintain about thirty families adequately during the winter months but If present conditions continue, there will be not less than 200 families to maintain and possibly more. Creditors Aid Bureau. "There are two possibilities that may be developed; one, that the county commissioners authorise the township trustee to grant more than $1 a week relief to a family and second, that more emergency employment be created. If it were not for the kindness of landlords and store keepers who extend credit to their tenants and customers, the Central Bureau would be swamped with applicants." Secretary Melpolder reported that 146 families and 524 individuals have been helped in the following ways: Groceries to 420 persons, clothing to 143 persons; shoes to seventy; bedding to forty-nine; household goods to fourteen; fuel to 150; rent paid for seven; meals and lodging for twelve; transportation for thlrty-Blx. Report Shows Aid. The report Is divided Into several parts, organization and equipment, cooperation, education, Investigations, constructive relief work, social service and general finances. "Due to the earnest and large-minded leadership of the co-operating organization," the report reads, "each society has agreed to confine its efforts to a definite task. The Associated Charities handles constructive relief work; Domestic Science association, the visiting nurBe; Penny club, the work with children and mothers; Tues day Aftermath, social center work; the Central Charity bureau maintains an advisory supervision over all work, raises funds, studies social needs, and maintains a general registration bureau. Township Leada State. "Wayne township leads all other

townships In the state in the pauperised condition of its residents, due largely to the fact that the city of Rich

mond Is supplied with an unusually large number of charitably inclined people. "Owing to the serious time of Industrial depression, the major portion of the bureau's time and attention has been devoted to the proper method ot relief giving. The bad practice of parents sending their young children as applicants for charity and thus schooling them In the formative period of their lives in the habit of getting something for nothing, has been discontinued. The rule that the men appear as applicants for relief Instead of the wives and children has resulted In some of them putlng forth greater effort to secure work. Must Attend 8chool. "It has been the policy of your secretary that relief be allowed only on the Condition that children attend school regularly. The good effect of this policy has already been noted by one school principal. One boy, 14 years old, whose parents had never sent him to school because of the condition of his eyes, was provided with a pair of glasses and has attended school regularly since. "With families whose destitute conditions are entirely due to intemperance, Indolence and neglect of parental responsibilities, the bureau in a large measure must depend for disciplinarian treatment upon the office of the prosecuting attorney, juvenile court and board of children's guardians. "Social service Is a comparatively new profession, there, has to contend more or less with unintelllgence, prejudice and superstition. The true test of the usefulness and efficiency of the social doctor is not the comparison of the amount of beans and potatoes he prescribes to the amount of his salary, but the ability correctly to diagnose social ills and to effect cures." Report Shows Short Funds. The financial report shows that the bureau Is still $2,000 short of the amount It set out to raise. It has received $3,500 and has a cash balance of $1,388, and total resources of $2,408, including the unpaid pledges. A report of the Associated Charities shows that operating expenses have been decreased, and the relief expenditures have been Increased. The report follows: 1912. 1913. 1914.
