6/Arthur Brisbane SIX MONTHS, 5 PRESIDENTS MRS. ROOSEVELT ON WAR IT IS CONSTITUTIONAL THE JUDGMENT OF GOD

Carlos Mendieta, new president of Cuba, is the fifth president within the last six months. Sixty years old, Men dieta succeeds the . youthful Carlos Hevia, who started his presidential term last Monday and did not last long. Various revolutions in Cuba hav beeen largely the work of young men, including students, enthusiastic promoters of a ‘jouth” movement. But to keep a government going after youth ebtallishes it, experience appears to be needed. The new president Mendieta has been buttling in Cuban politics fur forty years. Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt sys war is “uUer futility and deadly stupid: y." In her opinion, "‘anyone who thinks must think of the next war . s he would suicide, but most people don't think.” Mrs. Roosevelt's obserxaiion on thinking is even inoie important than her condemnation >.f w.r. If people te. hy did think, tint would war questions.

An intelligent counterfeiter selling dollars at 4* to 2 cents should hury and get rid of his stock before Uncle Sam begins selling real dollars cheap-! er than the cbi nterfeiter can manufacture ai.d distiibute them. During the war conscripted milllions were subjected to “intelligence tests” and you learned with anxiety that the adult American has an average, intelligence of a 12 year old childNow, to cheer you, the bureau of education says that is a mistake. Only about 3.000,000 adult Americans have 12 year old intelligence, not many more than enough to cover all those who think they understand money and know what the government ought to do about it. Forty million adult America, s have 17 year old intelligence, 10,000,000 average about 23 year old intelligence There is no real intelligence stand * ard, and as we are all «.only 12,000 years from the late Stone age, what we call “highest intelligence” will I seem amusingly ignorant a few million years hence. — Ma: garet Sanger, her specialty , birth control, which in this countrycan be taught legally only to the rich with expensive doctors, is runnings: birth control convention in Washington.

Mrs. Sanger says the time is not far off “when this government will be ■ called upon to face the question of birth control and sterilization as well” Under the new scheme for insuring deposits in banks, the substantial total of 515.210,(MX>,000 is now insured. The insurance plan is interesting and the fact that people have more than $15,000,000,000 in is extremely interesting, for the insurance guarantee is limited to $2,500, so that all the really “big money” in bank balances is excluded from the insurance scheme. , Roy Barton White, the brachycephalic head of the Western Union company and its 50,000 employees, says: “There can no longer be any doubt that the United States is on the upgrade. Business is coming back with a bang.” That is cheerful.

3 ARRESTED I APTER RIOT IN WARSAW i ’ I Tiala and Wife, Chicago and Jesse Hann, are Under SSOOO Bond. Attempting to obtain last minute facts concerning the prisoners, for the Journ. I, telephone calls to the sheriff and prosecuting attorney this morning obtained the follow ing in- | formation: r 1 he three prisoners are held, either in the Michigan City jail or the So. X-uud jati; Albert M. Block of Gary i».s appeared as attorney to represent Tialas and Hann, he statbd Alien ,v iu. man of Vv arsaw might appear «uh han in the case, and if possible will be assisted by Du vid Bent u. Chicago attorney, and Margaret Llaser Gary attorney. It will be recalled that Margaret t.laser r epresen ed the Stew, rts in; rhe trial in Goshen some time ago. The trial of the three h s been set « o: : eb. Ist., in circuit court in vv ; rsaw. The aefense’s attempt to have the $. ,ouo bonds leduced was denied by .he court yes.erday. A meeting proesting the of the bonds had evn he d in Warsaw , Tuesday evening. The sheriff and 10 state policemen v.ere ready for any disorder. A mob h,d threatened to come along when two of the farmers who had taken part in the furor Saturuay, were called into the sheriff’s office, Tuesday evening, but they carne ;.l->r.e and talked “quite reason'd. " ih e.-ts were made that the sales advertised in the Journal to be held Saturday this week, would be stopped. But according to officials in via s..w. representing the law, these salts will NOT be stopped. Three people are in jail, and their | bonds set at $5,000 each, following the riot in Warsaw, Saturday, which occurred at the sheriff’s kule of farm pr»p«*r(y on the court house steps. Alfred Tiala from Chicago, na-; tiunal secret, ry of the United Farm- ’ ers’ League, who came to Warsaw to stop the sale. ?nd his wife, and Jesse Hann, who lives near Syracuse were the three arrested. Their arrest and the sale of the Clarence Gearhart farm of 151 qcres near Clunette followed the use of , teer i<as by Kosciusko county officers and the calling in of help of state officers, officers from Elkhart, Goshen, South Bend, Plymouth and ‘ Fort Wayne. The difficulty commenced about i noon, -S turday, when Bowser, who intended to bid on the farm for the Federal Land Bank of Kentucky, who held a mortgage on . it, was kidnapped by members of; the United Farmers League.- Then tear gss was thrown into the crowd i of several hundred gathered about the steps. officers were sent for, and ! no attempt made to hold the sale until all had arrived, accompanied by ; machine guns and more tear gas. i After about an hour and one half i Bowser was released when he agreed I not to bid on the farm. The Federal ‘ Land Bank had been wired, and agreed got to foreclose - providing the owners of the property asked for j an extension of time. The farm was sold to Gearhart and his sisters 14 years ago for $24300, of ! which amount $16,000 had been paid. ' Since 1931 nothing had been paid on I the farm, and $455.44 taxes were : uue. Gearhart refused to ask his j sisters to join with him in asking i for an extension of time, demanding, instead that the debt be cancelled. With accrued interest he still owed $11,302. According to information supplied by Prosecuting Attorney Seth Rowdabaugh, when Bowser was kidnaped and held by the gang, Judge Donald Vanderveer became angered at this display of lawlessness and declared that the sale at advertised was going to be held. Outside officers were sent for, and Officer Liggett and deputies arrested TiaJa and his wife, and Jesse Hann. Bowser having been released, the sheriff and deputies started to hunt for him, and discovered him in his office. When they said they had rereived instructions from the judge to have him appear at the court house he accompanied the officers. Bowser however, refused to bid on the property, as he had promised lyjt to, before he was released. So Frank Me Krill, formerly sheriff of this county stepped forward. With two rows of armed officers at the foot of the steps on the southside of the courthouse, officers stationed at intervals up each side of (CcMßtinoed on Last Pace) ■ / .

MEH HERE AFTER RIOT IN WARSAW Speaker of Evening Unavoidably Detained in Jail; Organization Wants Debts Cancelled. The United Farmers* League meeting, scheduled to be held Saturday evening at 7:30 in the Syracuse > library was held up until later in j the evening, by the hope that Alfred' Tiala, arrested in Warsaw that afternoon, would be released. While awaiting a speaker of the' ’evening, those who had gone to the library to attend the- meeting went to the Community building instead, to see if they had by chance won sny sugar in the regular weekly drawing. As er the sag r drawing, those in-' terested returned to the meeting, and Cl rence Ge rh-rt, the sale of whose farm had started the riot of the afternoon in. Warsaw, finally ap- I pesred. He had with him Tiala’s! night clothes, and said he had been 100-ing everywhere for Tiala but : could not locate him. Telegrams h d been sent to ‘ the; Chicago office of this organization, i and much confidence wrs expressed' that by Sunday morning this office | would h ve located them and have; effected the release of Mr. and > Mrs. Tiala and Jesse Hann. Gearhart was one of the speakers of the meeting and he urged every poor farmer to join the organization, or ail would be in ruins. Mrs. Blue of Peru was the next speaker and she said that she had i been a .delegate to the national meet-' ing in Chicago last November. She outlined the program Jthe delegation : had drawn up, at this meeting. She : demanded Service; education of children, and if the child desired it, ■ a college education furnished; free I medical attention before and after- ? s wards, at time of the birth of a child. During her ttlk Mrs. Blue showed her disapproval of CWA workers. Milo Long of Wabash, who seemed to be the real leader of the meeting, r" talked about how Mellon, Rockerfellers and Morgans were grinding down the masses and how the masses by mass pressure could overturn the capitalists rule. President Roosevelt, of whom they had expected so much, had become the tool of Wall Street, i according to Long. Long seemed to disapprove of everything, including inflation. He said inflating the dollar was like a man jumping off a 100 ft. cliff and expecting to stop 10 feet below, but instead to his surprise went to the bottom. ; During the general discussion during the meeting, before and after, those who attended said they were going to make a “scab” farm out of the one taken over from Gearhart, and of the sheriff’s farm, near No. Webster. They admitted the riot in Warsaw was a failure, Saturday afternoon, but said that “next time they would < be better organized and would ' trample the officers into the sidewalks." They said that if an attempt is ; made to sell the property advertised , for sale Feb. 13, in Warsaw, they will call in members of their organization from surrounding counties and prevent the sale. About 75 attended the meeting, , which was orderly. 0 WAWASEE COn AGE l ROBBED RECENTLY Schacht Comes to Lake Home to Find Il Stripy .< ol FuroUbings; Check is Clue. Saturday evening when the J. C.

The next meeting will be held Frif day, Jan. 26, at 7:30 p. m. iuonday night’s meeting wrs called at the insistence of Ross Osborn. • Milt Wysong, educational director !df the conservation department eddressed the meeting and expl.ined how the club should be formed, snd its purpose. In hrs talk, Mr. Wjsong said thet the conservation dep.rtment is working through clubs, not through in]aiv:duals, in pLn.iug fish, liberating pheasants and quail, and the placing of pheasants and quail eggs for hatching. He briefly outlined the privileges of an organized club as follows." Members will receive free of charge “Outdoor Indiana,” a magazine published by the conservation department; the club will receive all the pheasant eggs they want from the department,. y and for every bird liberated the department will pay the club 75 cents per bird up to the amount of SIOO.

The club can make arrangements with the department to take predatory fish with nets and spears, under restrictions. Wysong also told of the “new deal” in conservation. He said that beginning at the first of this year, the game warden’s efficiency will not be gauged on the number of arrests ’ made, but on the contrary, on how he gets along with sports/nen, and how much he does in educating the public in conservation work. The day of the old game warden is gone, he said. The department is also going to work in conjunction with conservation clubs, and if the club recommendations are sound in the matter of conservation, these will be adopti ed by the department. i Mr. Wysong also spoke of some legislation which the department is | going to try to get through the next legislature. The state will be divided into four zones, northern and southern and two central zones, changing the title of wardens to rangers, recommended, to the department by the < clubs. He also said that the conservation department has definitely decided to i place deer in the 26 southern coun- : ties of the state. Brown county being the furlherest north of these 26. Arrangements have been made for the purchase of 500 deer from Pennsylvania for this purpose, he said. * UNDERGOES OPERATION Mrs. E. O.

BANK HERE TO PROTECT DEPOSITORS Waiver Signers not to be at Mercy of Those Who do Not Sign. More depositors must sign the depositors* agreement not to withdraw more than 15 per cent of deposits from the bank, before (the bank will open. , That statement sums up the local bank situation. According to directors of the bank enough deposits have beeh waivered that the bank could open, meeting the requirements of the state banking department in regard to restricted deposits,, and meeting the requirements of the federal insurance j of deposits. . * But depositors representing $40,i 000 have not yet signed waivers, : and the directors have no assurance , that these deposits will not be withdrawn immediately, gutting the ; bank, if it would reopen. The directors feel that to permit i these depositors to draw out, their money in full immediately alter others have signed waivers to keep the bank open, is unfair to those who have signed the waivers. They also consider that such a state of affairs is not fair to the stockholders. The directors contend i that if the bank is reopened, after i the stockholders have paid their as- “ i sessment which is one of the requirements of reopening, and then the $40,000 would be withdrawn besides the 25 per cent permitted those who have signed waivers, that the stockholders, in all : probability would be called upon to pay a second assessment. > From the temper known to exist among the stockholders, they will not pay the second assessment. So it begins to appear that if Oie bank is to. reopen, the rest of the depositors must sign, or the stockholders will let the state banking department take charge. 1 < On Tuesday, Stephen Freeman, L. Miller, Aaron Rasor and Jessie Eschbaugh went to Indianapolis where they saw S. F. Goqd, official of the state banking department in charge of liquidations. Mr. Good suggested that a citizens* committee of five should be appointed by the bank directors here, to ; call on the depositors who refuse to sign waivers, and explain the situation and obtain their signatures. The rpen on their return from Indianapolis also stated that Mr. Good said that the situation her4i is in no way unusual,, for 18 other banks 1 in the state are meeting the same difficulties with depositors. SYRACUSE LOSES TO MILFORD Meet Milford Third Time this Year and Lose Twa Games out of Three; Score 25 to 18. The third time tells the tale, or carries a charm, or what 11 counts is. two out of three or something lijce that. Whatever it is, Milford did it, for the Milford team won the basketball game pl yed here, last Friday evening, 25 to 18. This was the third time this season the two teams have met. The first game between these teams was played in Milford, and Milford won 28 to 18. In the invitational • tourney here, Syracuse defeated K7Tlford 31 to 8, and Friday evening Milford won the second game out of three. The Milford team did not play brilliant ball, but by steady playing kept ahead of the Syracuse boys during the game, with the exception of the first few minutes of play. A spark was missing from the local boys attack, and they played aimlessly, and could not get started. Beer, forward for Milford, did most of the scoring for that team, making 13 points. Voyle Osborn was high point man for Syracuse with 8 points. At the .end of the first quarter the . score was: Milford 4, Syracuse, 3. End of half, Milford 13, Syracuse,; 9;. end of third quarter, Milford 21, Syracuse, 15; end of game, Milford 25, Syracuse 18. The second team won the preliminary game from Milford by a 32 to 28 final score, after the game prolonged into double overtime. The score at the end of the game was 24 all. At the end of the first period of overtime it was 26 all. Then Milford made a basket to make it 28, and the Syracuse boys, raised their score to 32.
