Anderson Has Only One
Indiana Crime To Credit, Muncie Officials Learn William Anderson, 48, a negro who
is serving a life sentence in the Indiana state prison at Michigan City
for the murder ot , Clyde Benadum, Muncie druggist, on the night ot June 10, 1919, has but one Indiana crime to his record, according to advices "re
ceived yesterday from Warden Fo-
garty, who is in charge ot the penitentiary. Anderson did not kidnap Francis Reed, 12-year-old Rochester, N. Y. boy, according to the warden and detectives who interviewed Anderson in the prison afew weeks ago. Neither did Anderson admit killing Fred Holle, who was held up and shot fatally near Fort Wayne on the night of May 30, 1919, authorities say. Holle was with Bernadine Woenker ot Fort Wayne when the tragedy occurred. Anderson was arrested with Walter Arnett, 17-year-old Union City boy, after a fight with Sheriff Carr, Patrolman Dave Carr and Chief Wenger near Economy. He was returned to Muncie and lodged in jail but escaped from the woman's compartment
where he had been placed because of
injuries that he had received in the gun-fight. He was re-captured, however, and sentenced to life Imprisonment in the state prison for the death
of Benadum. He was caught near
Honey Creek.
During his confinement to the Mun
cie jail, Anderson was accused of the murder ot Holle, but denied that he
had been in the vicinity at the time of
the shooting which cost Holle's life
Miss Woenker, however. Identified
Anderson.
Rochester detectives were told by
Anderson that he had kidnapped Reed and that be was still alive. He would
volunteer no further information, how
ever.
The lead given the officers several
weeks ago has since proved unfound
ed, according to information received
by Warden Fogarty from the detect Ives. Prison authorities contend that An
derson has but one Indiana crime, that
of the murder of Benadum.

We May Go Back To Cave Man Staff TKew York Evening Sun Conditions arising out of the railway tie-up have emphasized the post-war comment of many observers that the world is returning in its economic aspects to something closely approaching mediaeval methods of existence. They do not mean lhat the world is returning to feudalism, but to the conditions of life of that period. The war, industrial unrest, difficulties over shipping and exchange in international trade affect the great cities the most, it is pointed out. The farmer is much more independent than the industrial worker. The man who has his own house and garden is much less tied to this complicated machinery of trade than the flat dweller.
The cellar of the home as a place of
storage against a rainy day had been almost forgotten by the present generation until prohibition brought It sharply to mind. The man with a Lank roll and a cellar had little to worry about, but the man who lived up his salary every month and had only room in his flat for beds and chaira and the poodle inherited a whole lot of worry. This instance applies to food as well. The farmer who can raise his own vegetables, cure his own hams and make his own sausage can fill his cellar with enough to last him a year and have no cares over the transportation problem or the rapacity of profiteers. As some economists point out, we are returning to the era when the wise man, as In the middle ages, provided for the future with goods for himself and family and not with mere money. Even now the housewives of the land are learning anew to make the clothes for their children, and even for themselves. There is a movement on foot to teach an inept generation the skill of their ancestors in the spinnine: cf flax and the weaving of linen because of its scarcity. We are forced to recall the not far distant days when every family provided its own tablecloths, comforters and stockings as a matter of course. In those days it made little or no difference whether there was railroad service or not or whether the world was short of shipping or not. The milk came from the cow stable, the preen vegetables from the garden, the potatoes from the root cellar, the clothes from the loom, the meat from the smokehouse or the poultry yard and the flour (if necessary) from the field. That was a system of life which did not take great cities, which cannot feed themselves, into account and to which some say the teeming world must return. Undoubtedly, though, there was another side of the picture, and, looking at it from this distance, our forefathers probably thought the world just as complex and perplexing an institution then as it appears to us fbday.
Tomorroy May Never Come:
Why Worry, Is Philosophy Los Angeles Times We were all sitting out on the front porch of the house on the mesa, from
vhlch, at night, you can see the twinkling lights of the pleasant town of San Fernando and the white walls of
the old mission wheni there is a moon.
And it was at about he time that the tobacco can had been passed for the third smoke that the conversation
came around to the day before. I We all knew that the day before had been one that our neighbor dreadea. He had to go down to the roaring town that day to wrestle with bankers behind wire cages bankers with cold, gray eyes and corrugated brows. And we knew that our neighbors would have had a hard time getting by on that day, as the saying is. Well, here he was home again and
none the worse for the wear, as far as we could see. It was the man who plays the flute and who walks ten miles once a week to do it that spoke first. "Well," said he to our neighbor, "you got along all right in town yesterday, didn't you?" And our neighbor said he did but he hoped that a day like that would never come again for him or for anybody else. And, the man who plays the flute said: "Well, thank God you got by with it, anyway." N Then our neighbor said that the thing he regretted about it was that he did not bear himself well In the fight. He went into it scared and
came out of it with the cold sweat all over his body. And the thing was that he should have borne himself more bravely, especially since he was destined to come out all right in the end. We thought a good deal about that as we walked home under the stars that night. There is a lot of trouble that never happens, we said to our selves; and a coward dies a thousand deaths.

To Make Motoring Safer From the St. Louis Times The best way to avoid trouble when touring is to "Look out for the other fellow on the road." First assume that you must look out for yourself and the other fellow, too. Don't rely wholly on the other fellow doing the right thing, and you'll be on your guaTd if he does the wrong thing and ready for the emergency. Never back or swing from the curb into the street without looking back to see if the way is clear. Glance both ways on each cross street, and if you're not on the main thoroughfare slow down before you cross. It's safest to drive slowly enough to have the car well under control where buildings hide the intersecting streets. Do not cut the corners in turning but keep well to your side of the street, and look both ways before you make the turn. Put out a hand as a guide to the car following or approaching. In-passing a slower moving vehicle pass it on your left, but in passing a street car always keep to the right. Do not follow another vehicle too closely. It might stop suddenly. Stop when the street car ahead of you stops and stand still till all passengers getting off are out of the street. In most cities this is required by ordinances. Dim your light when approaching an other motor car on the road. Use common sense at all times and you'll save trouble for yourself and the other fellow. Watch .Oyster .Scale Shade and fruit trees In Wayne county 6hould be watched for the oyster scale, a destructive tree pest now hatching, according to a communication from Frank -Wallace, state entomologist.

GOMPERS DEBATES WITH ALLEN ON THE - RIGHT TO STRIKE
NEW YORK. May 29. The relations ot capital and labor; the right to strike and its legitimacy as regards the effect on the public; the Kansas Industrial court law and its significance to the future of the working man were discussed from all angles in a remarkable debate Friday night in Carnegie Hall between Samuel Gompers. president of the American Federation of Labor and Gov. Henry J. Allen, of
Kansas.
Governor Allen's main contention was that government has the right to
protect the public against strikes
when Its welfare Is imperilled, wnue Mr. Gompers held to the argument that no law can prevent a man from
stopping work if by doing so he may benefit himself and his family. Mr. Gompers labelled the Kansas court law the "Un-American Slave Law" and
Governor Allen declared he had taken
away from Mr. Gompers his divine
right to order a man to quit work. The oratory of the debaters was punctuated with frequent cheers and boos by adherents of each 6ide. Occasionally questions shouted from the floor and the balconies. In support of the right to strike, Mr. Gompers declared that the coal miners' strike took boys out of the mines; that the textile workers strike brought children out of the mills and put them in the school room, while the strike in the needle trades broke up the sweat-shops when laws had failed to do 60.
Governor Aliens industrial commandment, was "you shall not conspire to shut down the industry necessary to the welfare of the people." "When the general public says we have had enough of this" he said "it's over." "Who controls the divine right to quit work?" Governor Allen asked. He was answered with cheers and boos. The debate called for no decision, the committees in charge having purrosely divided the house equally between supporters of each speaker. TRUSTEES DISAPPROVE BONUS PLAN FOR TEACHERS' PAY A legislative program proposed for school regulations was discussed Fridav at Indianapolis by the legislative
committee of the Township Trustees'
association of Indiana, which was called together by Lew Lewis, of Ma

proved of the bonus plan of increasing school teachers' pay. such as used in Indianapolis and other cities this year. The trustees favored Increases in pay, but asserted that salaries should not be raised until this year's contracts expire, and that the contracts should be rigidly enforced. Bonus increases tended to cause disentisfption In smaller communities, it was said. Mr. Lewis represented the Sixth district.
