JONES' DESS -INTENTION TO CHARGE GRAFT

Highway Superintendent Places Blame for Unavoidable Inefficiency on Law in Force Over State. Highway Superintendent Jones today expressed his regret that the misinterpretation of remarks he made a few days ago regarding the work tax law and the highway supervisory system have caused a few farmers of the county to censure him severely. Mr. Jones today denied that he intended to charge the farmers with graft but said he placed blame for many Inefficiencies on the law, which prevented other methods being employed. "I am a farmer and I think the farmers are a splendid body, of men. I am also a road student and I have studied the township system since I have been old enough to work roads. I know that the system is all wrong. Men who stand high in their communities may be elected road supervisors but if they have to be trained In road work at some cost to the township and then at the end of two years when they are of some value, be removed by politics, the system is to blame. Places Blame on Law. "No one can expect a road supervisor to put in his time studying roads because the law only allows him sixty working days a year at $2 a day. This is the law and not the supervisor. "In saying that the road work tax law is a system of graft, I did not mean that the farmers are actually receiving any money they should not receive. I believe that this system should be abolished because it is impossible to get the results which could be had for that amount of money, under another system. 1 believe that if the farmers paid this tax in cash instead of working it out, much greater benefit would be derived and they would be getting the cash returned to them for their work as they have done under the county highway system." 3 MORE HORSES DIE FROM FEED SOURED IN SILO All but one of the horses belonging to Alonzo Davenport of Boston township, have died from the effects of the "forage poisoning" which attacked them last week. Eight animals valued at $1,500 have died and Mr. Davenport had hopes today of being able to save the one still living. Forage poisoning is not a new disease, as several cases are reported to the state veterinarian each year. Tho symptoms and effects of the disease are similar to those of alcoholic poisoning In the human system, and produce a collapse and paralysis of the body. The effects of the poison are cumulative, and animals may eat feed affected with the poisonous ferment for some time before sufficient of the poison has been absorbed by the body tissue to bring on the fatal symptoms. One of the horses belonging to Mr. Davenport had been sick for nearly three weeks, but it was thought to 'e suffering from chronic indigestion, and the feed was not suspected until other animals were affected. Mr. Davenport believes that the fer ment was caused by mixing green millet with the corn in the silage. The silage smells alcoholic and sour, and a report from the state chemist's office on samples sent there for inspection showed that the poison was present in larjre quantities. Other live stock on the place has not been affected by the poison. Cattle arc known to be less susceptible than horses. BLAST BURNS FACE Furnace Flame Injures Earl Reagon. Karl V. Reagon, a contractor living on South A street between Fifteenth and Sixteenth streets, was painfully but not seriously burned about the lace last night at his home, and today is confined to his bed. Reagon went into the basement last night to put some coal in the 'urnace. When he opeiifd the furnace door a sheet of flame gushed out, enveloping his face.

RICH MEN'S ENDOWMENT INFLUENCE MINDS OF STUDENTS ATTENDING ENDOWED SCHOOLS

BY ROBERT CRANSTON, Staff Correspondent of the International Newt Service. NEW YORK, Jan. 27.-Job.il D. Rockefeller, Jr., In testifying, today before the federal commission on Industrial relations, admitted that a student in a college or university that had been founded or endowed would Imbibe learning causing them to lean toward the ideas of the donor of the funds supporting the institutions. He made this admission while answering questions of Chairman Frank P. Walsh, relative to bills that had been introduced for the regulation of the Rockefeller foundation. "I believe that such a danger might exist in institutions of the highest order," said Mr. Rockefeller. Arrives in Good Humor. The young millionaire was in good humor when he arrived and cheerily USES SKELETON KEY TO ENTER 3 SALOONS Robber Gets $25.20 From Hiding Place in Cory's Business Room. Using a skeleton key a burglar entered the front door of the C. W. Cory saloon, 12 South Fifth street, within a half block of police headquarters, late last night or early this morning, and secured all the money in the place, $23.20. This money was kept in a hiding place known only to Cory, so the police realize that the theft was committed by a man who has been a frequent patron of the saloon. This is their only clue, however. The cash register, which was unlocked, contained Cory's gold watch, but this was not taken. Two other saloons were entered last night, probably by the same man, but nothing of value was taken at either place. They were the Kennepohl saloon, Nrth D street, and the Brokamp saloon, 312 Main street. The thief entered each of these places by unlocking the front doors. Each of these saloonists had placed their money in their safes, and no effort was made to blow them. At neither place did the burglar take any liquor or cigars. He only wanted money. ZEYEN THROWS 602 CARDS IN HIS EXAM The first of the mailing clerks' case examinations was held at the postoffice today when Clarence Zeyen took his first examination. His work was 99.83 per cent perfect. He threw 602 cards in the case for Section A of Indiana, comprising forty-four counties in fourteen minutes, at the rate of forty-three cards a minute, and made only one error. Some of the older clerks will start the heavier examinations in the next few weeks, in which 1,100 to 1,200 cards are thrown in les3 than thirty minutes. RUSSIA DENIES PEACE WITH GERMAN RULER LONDON, Jan. 27. Russia will make peace only in complete agreemnt with England and France.

The ambassador made this statement: "There has not been and never can be, under any circumstances, a question of Russia making any steps apart from her allies."

MOTHER'S PENSIONS AROUSE OPPOSITION OF CHARITY EXPERT Melpolder Asks Legislative

Session of Commercial Club to Go on Record as Opposed to Bill. Secretary Melpolder of the Central Charity Bureau said today he was opposed to the Mothers' pensions bill introduced into legislature recently and asked that the Commercial club take a stand on the bill at its legislative session tonight. The club will discuss a number of important bills which relate chiefly to commerce, such as the railroad passenger fare increase for interstate carrying. The club directors have already taken a favorable stand and will recommend tonight that a similar stand be taken by the members after which arrangements will be made to have legislative committees receive the result of the action. Open Highway Fight. At tonight's session the organization to fight against the repeal of the county highway superintendent law probably will be completed. What action will be taken on the three mile road law Is uncertain. The club stands opposed to the law as it stands, but does not want it repealed without a substitute. Teachers' pensions will be brought up for discussion. The bill now in legislature is unsatisfactory as other bills have been and from the criticism, the educational committee to secure enough ideas to draft a bill satisfactory to the club and school board as well as the teachers.

LONDON ADMITS CRUISER LION DAMAGED IN EUGAGEr.lENT WITH GERMAN FLEET

LONDON, Jan. 27 Official admission by the admiralty that the British battle cruiser Lion, the flagship of Vice Admiral Sir David Beatty had been badly damaged in the North Sea battle with the Germans on Sunday as well as the torpedo boat Meteor, was followed today by reports that the battle cruiser had been struck by a torpeu - fired from a German submarine. Belief was also expressed that the Meteor which had to be towed into port, was disabled by a torpedo launched from a submarine. It is known that Vice Admiral Beatty transferred his flag to the Princess Royal after the Lion had been holed beneath the water line. When the ship Lion was brought in port in tow of the cruiser Indomitable, she was in a sinking condition. Other ships of Vice Admiral Beatty's Bquadron had narrow escapes from mines dropped by the fleeing German man of war. The Lion bore the brunt of the fighting on the British side, 17 men ot her crew being wounded. The heaviest loss of life on the British side oc IT RUINS HAIR TO WASH IT WITH SOAP Soap should be used very sparingly, if at all, if you want to keep your hair looking its best. Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, an ruins it. The best thing for steady use is just ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil (which is pure and greaseless), is cheaper and better than soap or anything else you can use. One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in. It makes an abundance of rick, creamy lather, which rinses out easily, removing every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves the scalp soft and the hair fine and silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to manage. You can get mulsified cocoanut oil at any pharmacy, and a few ounces will supply every member of the family for months. START THE NEW YEAR With all your annoying bills paid. A loan from us on your household goods, piano, horses, etc., will help you. It can be paid back In easy payments, weekly, monthly or quarterly; any way to suit your income.
