HUGHES’ LAM PARTNER IS NAMED BY INCOME PROBERS WASHINGTON, June 22 (UP'— Treasury officials today submitted to a joint congressional committee the name of Richard E.

Detailed explanation of the complicated methods nurportediy used to avoid payment of federal tax levies followed a sharp committee interchange in which Rep. Allen Treadway, R., Mass., accused the areasury of "trying to mislead the public" and in turn was accused of "trying to get his name in th< papers.” FIVE DISEASED ELM TREES ARE REMOVED Five elm trees, affected with Dutch Elm disease, have been discovered and removed in Indianapolis during the pasl few days, Virgil M. Simmons, commissioner of the Department of Conservation, said today. Removal of all diseased trees is a part of the cooperative program between the Department of Conservation and the U. S. Department of Agriculture for control of this disease. This is the third year that the cooperative survey has been conducted in an effort to locate and remove all diseased trees, preventing spread of the disease to other parts of the state. In the past field workers have visited other cities where veneer plants are located without finding any trace of the disease. The Dutch Elm disease is believed to have been brought to Indianapolis on imported logs used in veneer manufacturing. It has been found in several other parts of the country and a vigorous campaign is being waged to control and eradicate the disease before it becomes a more serious menace to the elm trees. It is believed that the disease is carried by an insect. Effects of the disease arc the gradual increase in the number of dead limbs and the death of the tree. In the previous surveys made in Indianapolis, a total of 21 trees affected with Dutch Elm disease have been located and removed. WANTED: Girl to assist with housekeeping and care of children.

New Stories Of 01<l Things Are Revealed In Washington Towns!

/

It is a cold day, indeed, that a scout after old-time stories cannot go into Washington township and dig up an Indian or two. a hidden min", an Indian village, or burying ground, and possibely something else new in tha way of old things. A recent drive into south Washington brought the writer into contact with an Indian story that was brand new to him, along with a new story of an old silver mine. The tale of the mine, with its fabulous wealth, was intriguing, of course, and glamour was added to it by the allegation that the old Indian, who told it, said its entrance had been walled up with stones by the Indjins and no white man could ever find it. It was Frank Cagle who told about the redskin. Frank operates the water power grist mill at Hoosier Highlands, is 73 years old, is practically a native of the region, and knows more about its traditions than any other man living, probably. Anyway he knows a lot and also knows how to relate it, which is a gift that not every person who is well informed possesses. The water-operated mill at Hoosier Highlands now is not the first on that site—the writer has known two, including this one, and Mr. Cagie told of another, which was the first, he thought. " * The mill now there was inspected in detail by Governor Townsend and his party, on the occasion of their visit there, late in May. The owner of the land on which the mil! is built, as far back as M". Cagle’s information goes, was a man named Grable, but Hensley built the original mill, a log affair. It had the unique misfortune of being burned down during the civil war, from a fire generated by one of the buhr stones. Since miscreant raised the sluice gate in the night, .letting the water flow onto the huge paddle wheel, which was directly connected to the grinding stones. They ran for hours without attention with no grain between them to separate the grinding surfaces. The resulting friction causd so intense a heat that the adjoining timbers were ignited, and the flames spread to the entire structure. Years after that, a new mill was built on the same site, of better construction than the log affair, and it was purchased by Henry Crouse, If the writer is not confused j as to dates, it was the Crouse mill which was the scene of his first camping-out experience. He went down there as a sort of camp follower, the young brother of Alexander Black, now of Arizona. In that narty also were Fred Clearwater, then a teacher in the Greencastle high school; Harry Langdon, now a Physician in Indianapolis; Jesse Earle, a professional ^photographer in the northern part of the state: Rees Matson, now of Oklahoma -

Charles r Mi on n< • & man of St. Loui m We campi' I :■■■■,. , r; ., f J under the mill building, wlthinT :"(-t Of Oil j the raceway fh" lust ] .noi e coffee 1 j ccust J was excessively thin, the mosd were as big and as noisy as frogs, and the bull frogs ucrei an I aa noi ,| first night has never faded irof memory. But there were basi squirrels in abundance, which] full compensation f< g the r orts of the camp itself. That dam was blown up byi mers it was claimed, who ob *o the backwater reaching their) 'ields. That Crouse structure al oned for mill purposes, was be! by Greeley Huffman for a barn) When Mr. Cagle took hold i proposition, he erected a bette 1 mllding. Ownership of the lamf lassed from Mr Cagle, and Morrison pwn the land on loosier Highlands park is "here are some sixty cottages Frank Cagle's father lived if the creek, where Jas Rig iived and the father told Frank m old Indian once came to home being given a place to for a night or two. He had there before possibly one of Miamis who liv' d in town nr>t| away, on the pu s. at Van Huf, farm, and aslo I about certain that he knew I "fore. He told Cagle that by means of the post of the trees h. could locate Ur trance of a silver mine which been worked by the Ind ans. but) entrance had b n walled up by ti with stones, and no one except Indians, could '■'.er find it.
