Roads Of County Will Be Resurfaced Next Week Work of resurfacing the macadam roads of Wayne county will be started next week, according to County High way Superintendent Jones. The county has received 30,000 gallons of road tar. and 600 yards of torpedo sand, which will be placed on all macadam roads In the county. Although the county has been handi capped on account of labor shortage, most of the roads are now In excellent condition. Efforts were made Satur day by the county commissioners to obtain two army trucks but they were informed that these were for use by the state highway commission. KRUEGER WILL (Continued from Page One) peclally when he told them he had been a health officer. About 5 p. m. of the same day sev-' eral witnesses saw Dr. Krueger drive slowly past the South Fifth street dump and carefully take a package from the machine and carefully carry it to a carefully selected place on the dump, poise it carefully and throw it as it seemed afterward head first. This dump was carefully watched as it was private property and dumping prohibited. As he departed he was recognized, the package Becured, recognized as a baby and carried to the top where it was discovered alive and moved vigorously and pursed its thumb in its mouth. The police being called took it to the City Health Officer Kinsey, who ordered Dr. Krueger to remove It to the home of the parents. It not only moved there but while being carried by police made a noise with sufficient vigor to be heard above the noise of the automobile. According to testimony, on being taken to the home it was placed in a closet without any directions as to its further care or intimation It was alive. attempt toward further care I have no proof other than the child was carried around during the day in the automobile of Dr. Krueger. This child was a so-called monstrosity with deformed head, but unusually well formed body. The fact that it lived so long and that in spite of its unfortunate treatment it would have lived many hours or days. It is not in the province of the corcner to state how long this child would live as a deformity. The law is plain and does not recognize the privilege of destruction of human beings nor recognize leniency in the punishment of such an act. I, therefore, find according to the evidence obtained under oath, and do declare the infant John Smith came to his death from criminal neglect of his attending physician. Dr. Frederick W. Krueger, in not cuting and tying the umbilical cord, by which failure it slowly bled to death. Second: Its death was further hastened by lack of all usual attention after birth, including the deliberate cutting of the umbilical cord too close to the body to permit proper care should he desire to tie same. Third: From concussion blows received when thrown when yet alive some fifty feet into a dump pile as a means of further disposal. Fourth: On being compelled to return the living child to its parents not one word was said that it was alive, and no advice as to its further care given. We would recognize there is much agitation in certain quarters for the destruction of such malformed human beings. It would seem there might be room here for leniency. But such must be determined by the courts. I, however, see no reason except for the most severe arraignment from the public and especially from the medical profession, of which he was always an honored member, of such an attempted disposal of a human child. Any such intimation, such is the practice, condoned or sympathized with by the medical profession anywhere, should be resented as a reflection of the methods of the dark ages, and spurned as an insult to the high attainments of a worthy profession. This act is all the more culpable because of the trust imposed in professional judgment and the fact the offender was a former county health officer and should have known the many lawful methods of disposal of human bodies. I, therefore, would bind said Dr. Frederick Krueger over to the Wayne county grand Jury to determine the degree of criminality here displayed. S. EDGAR BOND, Coroner Wayne County, Ind.

LOCAL MAN OFFERS

SPARK PLUG, BUILT ON NEW PRINCIPLES Announcement of a foul-proof spark plug, an Invention which If successful, will remove most of the motorits s' spark troubles, was made Satur day morning by Otho D. Bowers, man ager of the Central Auto Agency, of Richmond. Patents have been obtained on the invention, after months of work, by Bowers, and he has for some time been preparing the plug for commercial use. Bowers claims for the new form of plug that It will fire under heavy charges without causing the motor to load, will fire under excess oil conditions without fouling, will fire charges containing moisture without shorting, and that the sparking surface, and the electrode bar, of an inch in diameter, will never burn off. Other advantages claimed for the new plug are that the spark gap Is adjusted to any desirable width; it is claimed the porcelain core will not crack, the plug will not pre-lgnite and carbon will never form. These conditions are covered by the guarantee given each purchaser. Conical Shell Does Work. A conical shell which is carried on snd is a part of the center electrode. Is the revolutionary part of the new plug. The entire circumference of the rim of the plug is the field for tho spark and while in practice the spark will occur at but one point, it will change around the rim. Bowers claims, and will tend to clean any part of the rim which may become foul. Preparations are being made to market the plug on a large scale, both here and In other cities, and Bowers says he has hundreds of orders already, from motor owners who have heard of the plug and are eager to try It out.
