GENERAL HINES' DAUGHTER LATEST BUD AT CAPITAL

l-OGANSPORT, Ind., May 3. Mayor James I. Barnes declared here today that he had no other connection with the purchase and sale of sugar under investigation by Stanley Wyckoff, fair price commissioner for Indiana, than that of loaning the money to the RuehDrompp Company and accepting as security the bill of lading. The mayor gave the following account of the translation: "A week ago today Kdward Drompp cf the Rueh-Drompp Company came to me and asked me to loan him $13,000. Drompp told me he could not get the money at the bank and that he had an opportunity to get a car of sugar at 19 cents a pound and that the compaov making the sale wanted an immediate draft for the purchase price or it would cancel the order. I told Drompp that ! would let him have the money and handle the transaction just as the banks would do." . The mayor declared his sole motive ;n loaning the money to the RuchDrorppp company was to obtain sugar for Logansport. which was the original intention. However, more difficulty in obtaining the money was experienced than expected and when the loan was finally made, but thirtv days' time was given. "I knew nothing about resale of the sugar," declared the mayor. "I supposed it w-A.i to be sold in Logans-port."

While showing every delicate phase in detail regarding the proper care of the infant the many astounding scenes are flashed on the screen in a manner that one can only marvel ami not take offense. Nevertheless a startling scientific spectacle is presented portraying the necessity of careful and proper supervision at a period so necessary in the conservation of child life. All the scenes in "Birth" were taken in one of New York's largest maternity hospitals under Hie personal direction of medical experts and ia claimed to be absolutely correct in every detail and the only film of its kind ever made for a public showing. Everywhere that the film has been presented it has caused a sensation, being indorsed by medical authorities and social workers from coast to coast as a most remarkable offering. It is suggested that as many as possible attend the early matinee and evening showine.
