by Arthur Brisbane STRIKES ARE HERE THE SUGAR SITUATION •WORK DOES NOT KILL COASI-TO-COAST RECORD More strikes in many directions. And,- as men in groups leave their jobs, there are, all over the contry, ‘close to 10,000,000 others ready to take their places. If men quit jobs as fast us the NKA creates them, progress Will be slow. Mr. Green of the American Federation of Labor predicts that four and a half million families will lie in need of help this winter despite employment. , He can help that situation by persuading workers to use their right to strike as conservatively as possible just now. Intelligent NKA gentlemen might look .into the sugar situation.

Russia has expelled German newspaper correspondents, not liking what they write. Berlin protests to the Russian government. Before Russia acted, Germany had arrested Russian correspondents covering the reichstag arson trial, with much sympathy for the accused Communists. Russia also has grave disputes with Japan, and Germany with Mussolini, who is “showing great patience.” Colonel Lindbergh, having visited Russia, is greatly impressed by “experimental aviation work carried on there, and hopes to return to Moscow mid see how the experiments work out.” These experiments are made by Russia’s government, which knows what flying will mean in the next war. When Colonel Lindbergh returns to America he will not find any “experimental aviation work” carried on by this government to arouse his admiration. Tim United States is too busy with small things to attend to the one really bng thing, .which is national protection.

The board members felt that the town should help towards making a park, but due to the condition of the town finances, not much help in a financial way could be given. A plan was discussed, but no action was taken, to allow people to dump rubbish on the park site in restricted portions, with the town furnishing a fence to enclose the portion where dumping would be allowed. The idea was that the rubbish could be used as a fill as was done in the old dump on Huntington street and in other towns. ■ ' — FISH RAN AWAY WITH POLE.

SYRACUSE* INDIANA, THURSDAY OCTOBER 5, 1933

PROSECUTOR SUED, FILES DEMURRER Leckrone is Suing for $12,000 Damage He Claims Suffered. Prosecuting Attorney Seth Rowdabaugh, defendant in a $12,000 damage suit filed, during the April term of court this year by Asa i Leckrone, Warsaw attorney, Tuesday filed a demurrer to. the action, alleging that the court has -no jurisdiction of the subject matter of the action and that the complaint does not state facts sufficient to constitute a cause of action. The damage suit was an outgrowth of the Fred McKinley incest case. / Under the first paragraph of tne demurrer, the defendant alleges that the original complaint shows on its face, that the action is not brought against thfc defendant in his personal capacity, but brought because of judicial action done by the defendant, while acting in ‘his judicial capacity as prosecuting attorney. Under (a) of the second paragraph, the, defendant alleges that he is charged in his personal capacity for damage alleged to have resulted from’the judicial acts of the defendant while acting in his judicial capacity as prosecuting attorney and (b), the complaint fails to show , causal connection between the acts alleged to be wrongful and the alleged injury. In the complaint, . which was filed by Attorney Leckrone against Prosecuting Attorney Rowdabaugh, it was alleged that “during a session of the Kosciusko grand jury, the defendant as prosecuting attorney, unlawfully and willfully and with premeditated malice, and by foul and unfair means, by scowling at, yelling at, and threatening imprisonment, too, and by other indans n«*t known to.the plaintiff, a minor in The name of Charles McKinley, and whom said prosecuting attorney personally knew to be a boy of sub-normal menial development and an habitual prevaricator, succeeded in getting, the said boy in a. very-piyvous stato of mind, and getting him, the saiaJ boy, to sign a prepared statement, the contents and purport of which the boy did not then know and does not now know. That there was no testimony from any other witness or witnesses on and concerning said alleged crime. The complaint further alleged that “by the above reason, he was arrested and was compelled to give bail to procure his immunity from jail. That thereafter, in March, a motion to quash said indictment was filed by this defendant, which motion was sustained by the court and the plaintiff was discharged and the prosecution was terminated. The plaintiff alleges that Prosecuting Attorney Rowdabaugh procured the indictment against the plaintiff for no other cause than malice and that as, the result of the indictment being tiled and his arrest, the newspapers of Kosciusko and adjoining counties, gave wide publicity to the affairs and doings concerning the matters and the plaintiff, without cause, was brought into disrepute, contempt and ridicule among his fellows in the community in which he resides and pursues his profession as attorney and counsellor at law; that his credit and standing was irreparably destroyed, that he suffered great mental agony and physical discomfort., to his damage in the sum of $12,000.” 0 HAVE CHICKEN POX A number of cases ot chicken pox have caused absences in the Grade school this past week. In the First Grade, Margaret Miles and Mary Lou Thomas have chicken pox, and it is feared Margaret’s sister Elizabeth is catching the disease.

Moes?h, placed in charge of the fish hatchery last June, is to return to ladianapolis soon, and the hatchery will be closed; It is thought that it will be reopened next April. Mr. Moesch said this is- part of Governor McNutt’s economy program The hatchery was first established on Wawasee in 1911 and has been in operation since then. George Miles was in charge of it for years. It was through Mr. Miles’s influence that it was established here, and he was the author, of many laws passed by the state legislature since that to protect game fish of the lak?s of Indiana.

Broken in spirit and tired *<f doging officers, Clint Stewiart, 63, a member of the notorious Stewkrt gang which operated in Kosciusko and Elkhart, counties, who escaped from the Michigan City state prison farm with his brother, Clarence, 65, on the ight <>f April 16, surrendered to Sheriff Meal A. Forrey, in Goshen, at noon Monday. He was taken to Michigan City to cwfnptcte seeing a sentence of 3 to 10 years imposed in the Kosciusko circuit court, where he was convicted of larceny in connection with his pilfering of freight cars on railroad crossings in tnjs coflnty. Stewart was a member of a gang headed by his brother, • Clarence. Thirteen members of the gang were rounded up and sentenced to prison. Clint Stewart began serving his term about a year ago, having been sentenced on last Oct. 7. Clarence Stewart was captured in Kosciusko county a few days after his escape from Michigan City. His brother, however, was not located until he surrendered Monday at the home of his son Lester, near Goshen. Clint traveled many miles in an , effort to escape the clutches of the law. Most of his travels were on freight trains. After escaping from the prison farm he made his way to Tennessee. From there he went to Oklahoma and then Texas. Later he went to Duluth, Minn., and from there to Seattle and Spokane, Wash. He finally made his way into Canada. “I decided that I would surrender while I was on the coast and started ; back,” Stewart told the sheriff. “However, I was injured in Salt Lake City, Utah, and had to spend three weeks in a hospital there. I was riding in a freight car with my feet hanging out the jdoor, and my right spot struck a signal lamp. I had several bongs broken in my foot. ” After, recovering from his injury, Stewart made his way to Wisconsin where he spent the past two months. While there he became ill and decided that he would surrender as soon as he was able to travel. “I was through Michigan City a week ago and intended to surrender but the freight train did not stop,” Stewart said. “The * train stopped in Niles, Mich., and I decidjed then that I would make another attempt to see my children.” Stewart surrendered after spending 24 hours with his family.
