by Arthur Brisbane MONEY TALKS, IN PRISON FROM 2 PIGS, HOW MANY? FLOOD, ONE MILE HIGH STILL THE WONDER GREW

Today ‘"money talks,” even in -prisons. The United States has summarily suspneded a chaplain, Rev. James A. Ord i ng, and two guards, ' of Leavenworth prison, for making a gangster convict too comfortable. Mr Terrence Druggan, the comfortable gangster, was first made a “trusty,” then assigned .to drive a truck. He drove the truck aroijnd town on various social errands, including a visit to a “lady friend.” Man “dressed in a little brief authority” with money in his pocket must be amused, if you want to get the money out vs his pocket into yours. When Sherman was marching to | the sea. somebody marching with him stole two pigs from the estate of Jefferson Davis. Capt. Thomas Jefferson D-vis of *our army has often told Lieu. John B. Sherman, grand-nephew of Gen- ; Sherman, that something ought to be I done about the pigs Recent!) Gen. Sherman’s gi ami-nephew sent two pigs, nicely ciaied, to C;.pt. Davis, and th.-.; matter is settled, abnost, not quue. ' 5,... Lieutenu>,t >he.'.u»-; has' yet t • learn what “interest” mea-s Capt. Davis says two pigs are not | enough. He will have statisticians figure how many ptgs the original | ’ two w <m i.i amount to now years, and calculates offhand that the - descendants of Genet al Sherman wiil owe him 150,000,000 pig* at least. I Exciting news tells of a Watt of < water rushing into the city of Den- j ver. following a cloudburst. •The uam.o e, ;i>a Ks tv instant precautions, was comparatively slight, I. although considerable sections of the; city were Denver doubtless will erect con-j Crete wall* that will hereafter •ffi-j cienily control “Cherry creek,” so; often, a menace in pioneer days.' .... • A flood in a city one mile abovethe level of the sea seems strange, | but anything can happen anywhere, i • The United Stales gnrinmenl is’ determined to make kidnapping dan-* t, gerous for the kidnappers. and will; I carry on a relentless crusade against j that, and other gangster forms of crime. In the fairy stoiy, when something 7 pleasant happen*, the good fairy is always, back of it, and it is In modern government. The administration good fairy. Professor Moley, is to take charge ! of the anti-kidnapping campaign. You consider how many things that man knows and. two lines come back I to you: ‘ ’ And still they d. and still the wonder grew That one small head could curry all he knew. As it happens. Professor Moley,! before becoming official pooh bah, I had specialised in crime prevention, i and no better man could have been: chosen to worry the kidnappers. We live in days of revolution, re-1 form, repentance and searching of soul*. j Nothing like it in nature, except | an old-fashioned Baptist revival] meeting in Jackson school house, ; Fanwood, N. J., when one farmer! after another would arise and say, in. trembling voice. “1 love Jesus, , Brethren, pray for me.” Even the New York Stock exchange to on the mourners’ bench, saying ”11 love Franklin D. Roosevelt, and 1 am going to be a better boy. Mexico has a "revival of proeperi-t ty” plan. Plutarco Elias Calles. Mexico’s “iron man” and former President. will have charge of the undertaking, running over six years. This country to gratified by the statement that Mexico includes in ita plans a trade agreement with the United* States. General Calles tells ten thousand Mexican workmen that the world about to face a moat serious crisis and that Mexico will co-operate fully with other American countries. ? , Hitler let* it be known that what he says he means. In Altona four “reds,” convicted of attacks on Nazis were beheaded. It seem* strange, in these days of electric chairs and “lethal rooms,” that kill criminals with gas, to think of cutting off a criminal’s head. And, strangest of all, the German headsman does his work in “fuß evening dress” -ewallow-tail coat, big open shirt front, white bow tie. Hanna Anderson, twenty-six year ok! member of the Greek Indian tribe after a life of drudgery, got word from the government that she had won a lawsuit over oil lands and would receive accumulated money* amounting to 51,060,000. | Many wiil suggest that the Creek lady will, spend so much money foolishly, and perhaps she will, but not more foolishly than young white gen* tiemen that inherit similar sums.

DEMOCRATS’ MEET HELD ON WAWASEE

526 Served at Banquet At Spink-Wawasee Tuesday Night. • - Five hundred and twenty-six were served at the banquet, at least 100| were turned away because they could not be accommodated, and several hundred more people listened to ihe address which followed the banquet of the Indiana Democratic Edi- i to'i.ili A*a«X'iation at the' Spink-AVa-wasee hotel, Tuesday night. The i ji venlb-n of this group was j scheduled to be held at the hotel [ Monday and Tuesday, and by Monday the hotel’ had found places fori 3w» people and others were taken | care of at the Sargent hotel. Not only Democratic editor* at- I tended the convention, but most of ,fie impoilant officials of the slate and party leaders were there; Among those were Senator Van Nuy.s, Governor McNutt, state party - chairman Ear! Peters. Kuinors that draught beer was tube made legal beyond question of a ; doubt or argument in courts of the state, were proven unfounded. It j had l>een reported that the governor ! was to give his decision on this mat-1 ter and either make draught beer 1 legal or illegal for Indiana. But on* Tuesday it was said he was leaving ; this piatter for the supreme court of the state to decide. It was also rumored that Chairman ! Ent I Peters was to ire removed and; as there wa* competition for this po-1 siiiuti. that Senator Van Nuy* was to I be asked to become head of the j lYemjocratic party in Indiana. No mention of this was made at the j banquet, when all of these men had part in the program of the evening, but rumor continues to have it that | the differences are too deep-seated and must be fought out at the party reorganisation next May and in. the state convention June. Senator Van Nuys was principal speaker at the banquet. He confined his talk to a review of the recovery legislation passed by the last Congress and praised the leadership of President Roosevelt. In his talk Governor McNutt did not discuss the keg beer controversy ’ explaining that the meeting was a homecoming for Senator Van Nuy*. Het thanked the Democratic editors for their support of the state administration in its efforts to put into opfration the many new laws, and, declared that all the resources of the state stand by President Roosevelt in his recovery program. Qther speakers were Chairman Peters and state vice chairman, Mrs. A. P. Flynn of Loganspqrt. . ’ o GIVEN POSSESSION OF FARM The decision of Justice Shock in ; the case of .possession of a farm on Papakeetchie, gave possession to William Bowen, who recently purchased the property. Harry Crouch, tenant, claimed j that a 9U day notice was required before a tenant had to move from a farm. Bowen of Mishawaka, who I just purchased it, required that | Crouch move on 10 days notice. The trial came up two weeks ago ; today in Shock’s court, and was conitinued until last Thursday. Then Shock gave his decision. He said that a year 10 year tenant’s resi- ; dence could be terminated in case of (waste.or non-payment of rent, and that it had been brought out in court that Crouch had not paid rent, so that Bowen’s 10 day notice to Crouch td move was sufficient. O MARRIAGE ANNOUNCED. * Announeemnet is being made of 1 the marriage of Miss Opal Garrison, i teacher of the First Grade for several years, and Elmer Evans, the .ceremony being performed July 31 at the bride’s home in North Man- ‘ cheater. j They are making their home near Angola, where Mr. Evans to employbd as a barber.

TWO WOMEN KILLED IN WRECK MONDAY

Two women were killed and the three other occupants of the car injured, in an automobile accident on Road 6, near the Charles Lutes home Monday afternoon. The parly was enroute from Long Island, N. Y., to the Century of Progress Exposition in Chicago. They were riding in a Packard sedan, and the left rear tire blew out and threw the car into the corn field to the i ight of the road. Mrs. Dora Geipel, 65, of Flushing L. E , was killed instantly. She was one of-the three riding in the back seat and was thrown through the top of the car, and her body struck the ground about 35 feet away from the machine. Mrs. Alice Lotnison, 57, of Conneaut Lake Park, Pa., died a few moments after the accident. 'Mrs. Minnie Hines, 4fi, of Long Island City, N. Y., daughter of Mrs. Geipel, was driving the car and she was injured, as was her husband who was riding in the front seat with her. Paul Geipel, 68, husband of Mrs. Geipel and father of Mrs. Hines who had been riding in the back seat with the two women who were killed is in a serious condition. He had several ribs broken, a dislocated left shoulder, fractured collar bone and internal injuries. Mr. and Mrs. Hines suffered bruises. cuts, and nervous shock. Mis. Charles Lute* and daughters Isabelle and Savilla saw the accident occur, and rushed to the assistance of those in the wreck. The Rohrer ambulance was sent for and the injured rushed to the Goshen hospital. WRECKER IN WRECK! SUNDAY EVENING -Two wrecks occurred Sunday, fortunately without serious injury to occupants of the cars. Mr. and Mrs. Bollamy of Hammond, and party were coming out of the road from The Tavern entrance to the main highway, Sunday when their car whs struck by the one driven by Bill Griffin of Chicago. Mr. and Mrs. Bollamy had spent their vacation with Mrs. D.- H. Brunjes and Griffin had been in the Shively cottage on Kale Island. No one was hurt in either machine but Roberta Lee Hanner, the year grand-daughter of Mr. and Mrs. 80-1 lamy. The baby’s teeth were knocked loose. Young Griffin brought her to Syracuse to the doctor where she was given medical attention. Second Accident. The second accident happened Sunday evening when the wrecker was wrecked. Joe Rapp was taking his guest, Max Menzer, ; to the southside of the lake, and Rapp said when he was going south on Huntington, a car coming north turned as though to cut across in front of the wrecker and go down Boston street, but the driver evidently changed his mind and swerved the machine back again. Anyway, Rapp said there was j nothing for him to do but let the 1 wrecker hit the car parked in front iof the home of Mr. and Mrs. Steve ! Finton. The car belonged to John Gertx of Elkhart, who with Miss Wava Barnes had spent the day with and Mrs. Finton. Both machine and wrecker were damaged in the collision, and a crowd quickly gathered to see if anyone had been hurt. That was the second time that day the machine of Gertz had been.' struck. In the afternoon when he was turning the car around near the B. &Q. tracks on Huntington, someone on a motorcycle, riding fast had seen Gertx turning his machine, had applied brakes to the motorcycle and had slid from the Feed Mill across the railroad tracks and into Gertz’s car. No one was hurt but the motorcycle suffered a blow out. ANOTHER WALL-EYED PIKE! Friday just after sundown, when R. M. Pentreath was fishing on Lake Wawasee, he caught a five-pound wall-eyed pike. He was using artificial bait and was trolling. He caught the wall-eyed pike in the locality where Mrs. Pentreath caught one earlier this summer and one last summer. O. L. Mummert of the north shore of Wawasee also caught a wall-eyed pike earlier this season. No other catches have been reported in spite of the number of this species known to have been put i in'Wawasee.

EXPLOSION IN BOAT HURTS OCCUPANTS

Mrs. H. H. Doswell of Fort Wayne and Morrison Island had her face, hands and legs -burned, and her eyes injured, and Mr. Doswell received numerous burns when their boat which Mr. Doswell was attempting to start, about 10 o’clock, Saturday night, burned to the water’s edge following an explosion of gasoline. ; , Mr. and Mrs. Doswell had left their children in their cottage and had goitto down to the boat for a moonlight ride on Wawasee. Mr. Doswell had just filled the boat vviht 25 gallons of gasoline, and when he attempted to start the engine the explosion occurred. Both he and Mis. Doswell rushed front the boat and up the stairs leading from the pier to their cottage, fearing a second explosion. Mrs. Doswell’s coat protected her arms from the burning gasoline, during the first explosion, but her face and hands and one side of her hair were burned, and she complained of her eyes paining her. Mr. Doswell wears glasses and these protected his eyes, but he' received burns on other parts ' of his body. Both were taken to Fort Wayne at once to their home and doctor there, and the rest of-the family followed on Sunday. It is said the boat was a five passenger one, carrying a six cylinder automobile engine which Mr. Doswell had put in the boat. His hobby is “tinkering” with engines and boats, and he comes to the lake for j fishing and duck hunting as well. j According to other bsat men on the lake there must have been too much gasoline in the bilge o]r there would . have been no explosion. Kenneth i Harkless.of the W’awasee Boat Ser-* vice said: “If everyone would .re- i member to leave the hutches open when the boat is not in use there would be no explosions, as gasoline would evaporate and fumes would . not gather under the hatches to ex- ; plode when the spark to start the engine ignites the fumes. The hatches from Doswell’s boat . were blown in two different direc- j lions and at a great disalnce, ac-1 cording to neighbors interviewed: Sunday. DIVORCE SUIT FILED; ADAMS OUT OF JAIL \ Last Thursday Mrs. b(azel E. , Adanis, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Sargent of Wawasee filed suit for divorce from Arthur R. Adam§. . On Saturday, when Adams, represented by attorneys appeared before Judge Vanderveer, he was permitted to be released from jail on his own i recognizance. At first it had been ■ stated that Adams could not be released from jail for less than SI,OOO bohd, as he was charged with assault with attempt to kill Mrs. Sargent. A restraining order was placed upon Adams, Saturday, restraining! him from interfering with or molest- , ing his wife or fnembers of her immediate family, and restraining him from entering upon the premises of the Sargent hotel or wherever his wife maintains her home. In her complaint for divorce, Mrs. | Adams charged her husband with i cruel and inhuman treatment, alleging that he caused her great mental anguish. They were married October 17, 1931 and separated July 31, 1933. The deputy sheriff took Adams to the hotel, Saturday, after he had been released from jail, and he was permitted to get his possessions. TRIES AIR PURIFIER Dr. C. R. Hoy, who suffers with hay fever each year, has had installed in his bedroom at home, and in his office an sir filter to take the ragweed and other pollen out of the ' atmosphere breathed. It fits across the opening of the, window, contains a motor which purifies 180 cubic ft. of air a minute It is similar to air filters used in ; hospitals for hay fever patients. He I to not sure if it will work and pre- i vent his annual, painful annoyance, J but he’s trying it. He believes the j one in his bedroom will be more sue- ! cessful, as the door to his office opens frequently, admitting air not: through the filter, and as people en- j tering his office may have ragweed pollen on their clothes and so spoil the purifying effect of the window i filter.' 0 UNDERGO OPERATIONS Miss Mary Jo Kroh had her tonsils and adenoids removed in an operation performed in Dr. C. R. Hoy's office, Tuesday morning. Joe Bauer had his tonsils removed in an operation performed in the Goshen hospital that same morning.

(Special)— Joseph Walter Freeman, Syracuse, is one of ninety-eight young men chosen by DePauw University to share in $78,400 worth of scholarships just awarded. Mr. Freeman will receive a scholarship valued at SBOO paying all tuition and fees for four years at DePauw. Three hundred and fifty honor high school graduates' from eighteen states and one foreign country made application for Rector scholarships this year and competition was so keen ■ that it is an unusual honor to the ! local high school to hgye placed al winner. The general rule for eligibi- ' lity demands that the student be in ; the highest ten per cent of his grad-' uating class and have an average of i 9<» per cent or better for his four ' years. The winners were far above ; this minimum, according to Dr. 1 Henry B, Longden, director of the Foundation. Jpe Freeman was vice-president of his eliiss during the Junior year, ! and secretary-treasurer of the class I of 1932 during the Senior year. 1 He had part in the school play in 1 1929; and leading parts in the Junior | i and Senior class plays. He was a member of the band from the time it started; a member of the boys’ quartet and Glee club. He was assistant editor of the school paper “High Lights,” and editor in chief of the year book. He was a member of the track and basketball teams, and took third in the oratorical contest in 1931 and second in 1932. He was awarded the ! honor key of the class of ’32 for ■ scholarship, He has worked for Dwight Mock, ' for several summers, and saved his ' money so that with the scholarship, Freeman has enough now for two j years at school. In addition to these ninety-eight I that will enroll as freshmen, there > are some 450 who will return toz-the f campus in the sophomore, jpnior ■ and senior classes, so that the Foundation will pay nearly sllo,ooo] i in tuition and fees for these 550 next year. Each -scholarship is valued at ; SBOO and is good for four years. The I Foundation was established in 1919 ;by the late Edward Rector, wealthy patent attorney of Chicago. It is the | largest, singly endowed undergradI uate scholarship foundation in the world and already more than 1,000 ! have graduated from DePauw j through its aid. Every state in the ; United States z and many foreign 'countries have been represented in ; this list. The Rector scholarship , alumni have hteir own organization. ' The honor of winning one of these i scholarships this year was expressed by Dean G. Herbert Smith, dean of freshmen men and assistant director of the Foundation when he said: .“Never since the Rector Foundation ; was established in 1919 has there , been a more outstanding group of j applicants. The task of selecting the i successful candidates was difficult | and emphasises the honor which has icome to the winners.” Freshmen will report to the camI pus September 12 for freshman week ■ Class work does not begin until ‘ September 18. Reductions in board ■ and rooms in the five University dormitories for the coining year has : made it possible for many old students to return and new ones to en--1 ter. Advance registration indicates that the total enrollment for the I coming year will be comparable to last year when more than 1500 students were registered. —o —— CRASH ON ROAD Emerson Neff, &on of Raleigh Neff was driving > hay-rack on Road 6j when it was struck by an Illinois 1 car.

NRA MAKES CHANGE IN WORK HOURS

Local Stores Shorten Hours of Business; Also Bank. Since July 27th when President Roosevelt issued his Re-employment agreement for employers to sign, three short weeks have elapsed. Papers have played up the Blue Eagle and the NRA, and have given of interpretations of the blanket code which seems to be the name which has become permanently fixed to the agreement. News of specific codes for different groups of industries and employers has also been published, j But even with all the ballyhoo which is part of the recovery program, Syracuse and vicinity have scarcely felt the enthusiasjn which is said to be aroused over the movement in other parts of the country. Soms of the merchants are displaying the blue eagle signifyihg that they have complied with the agreement. Stores have shortened their hours of keeping open. But in only two cases which have come to our notice have extra help been added as a result of the NRA movement. These two are the Thornburg Drug Co., and the Kosciusko Distributing Co. This last named company is now having all beer hauled by outside truckers, thus giving work to two extra trucks. Bill Osborn, who had been working on one of the company's beer trucks was transferred to an ice truck, to make the extra man needed there with the change in hours. One meeting of the- merchants of the town has been held, and another meeting was held in Leesburg at which merchants from small towns of this county decided upon hours of opening and closing stores. A meeting of the Chamber of Com- | merce of Syracuse has been scheduled for Friday night, when another I discussion of what to do is to be held. It has been learned that Chambers of Commerce in absence of trade associations are authorized to grant temporary stays of certain provisions of the president’s agreement, if signing the agreement works an unavoidable hardship. The Chamber of Commerce is authorized to grant a stay if the spirit and intent of the agreement are not frustrated. The National Automobile Code. Monday night the garage men, filling station operators, tire mep, automobile mechanics and battery men held a meeting at the Lakeside garage. They agreed to comply with the provisions of the National Automobile Code as it applied to them. A fixed price was set for charging batteries, repairing tires, washing ! cars, etc. Mechanical labor on cars I will be at the rate of $1 per hour. Other Modified Codes. A retail grocers’ code and a code | for other retailers including furni- : ture stores, hardwares, specialty shops, etc., have been submitted by the national organization* and have .been approved by the administration. I The grocers’ code modifying the ! general blanket code specifies that [grocery clerks shall work only 48 ! hours per and should not work , more than 8 hours during any 24 , except on days preceding holidays and 12 others during a six months period; ' i Minimum wages for grocery clerks lin towns the size of Syracuse were ! placed at sll per week. Minimum hours for other retail stores are 40 hours a week, as in the blanket code. If a specified code has been submitted for a particular industry and I has been approd eybv.not rit has been approved by the administration, persons desiring to obtain a (Continued from page One)
