JtusffyK 6/Arthur Brisbane LOOKS LIKE WAR SHE SHOT, BUT FORGETS ONE LADY HITCH-HIKER WELL SPENT

General Hayrshi, new Japanese war minister, says that if war eomea iit will be Russia’s fault. Japan longs only for peace. You remember hearing something like that in 1914. At the same time, Stalin, who doesn’t seem to know that it is polite to say “I love everybody" was telling the Communist party in Moscow: “We warn everybody not to poke their! snouts into the Soviet potato patch.” (He should have said **his snout.”) The Russian gathering roared approval, expressing fullest confidence and delight in tnything Sttlin might wish to do. Stalin added that Japan is not the Only country with an ambit wage war against the Soviet Union and share its territory.” Some Et.rope*n nations have that idea, according to Stalin. He is supposed to mean Germany. General Hayashi says it is silly to talk about w.r between the United I Sti tes and Japan, and he is right. Russi... in her present state of rev-1 olutionary enthusiasm, would keep I any coun ry busy "You leave my husband alone!’* ap-j peals to mny juryman. Miss Inez Lindsey, young, was in a car with M;s.

Primitive justice, ind catir.g that the "sacied m rtii.ge tie" is taken more serio sty in some places than in I uthi rs. I The President fixes dollar value at | fifty-nine and six hundredths cents I That is the offki..l val..e of each dollar you earn and spend. Just wh..t “value” means remairs to be demon strated. One New Y rk banker figures out that with gold up and the dollar down, the "bank credit” of the United States could te expanded t< I about “three hundred th us nd mil lion dollars. " Thst seems a good deal of money, u it be real money,, or i* there r r _, real money? The fact is that we have something more than seven thousand million dollars in gold, after raising the “value” of gold from about twenty to Liurty-hve dollars an ounce. How that much gold can be spread out to cover $3'0,000,000,000 would puxxle a gold beater. “With a humble and thankful heart" President Roosevelt tells the nation listening on the radio that he accepts the large sum raised to help poorlchii dren suffering from inf ntile paraly ais. Ten million Americans danced, ate, listened patiently to speeches, i and the result is J 1,000,000 to be I spent fighting disease and diminishing suffering-, besides giving the President great pleasure, in connection with his fifty-second birthday. That is better than shooting off 1 fireworks or having an expensive review of a great army, or elaborate i fleet. We show common sense in l some things. t < — ■f i - i Miss Evelyn CLrk, 22. hitch-hikei , from Los Angeles, was- taken into t his car by Mr. W. H. Bybee, newly escaped from the penitentiary.

When Bybee stopped ( for gas, Miss Clark drove off with his | car, told the police. They got Bybee, t who says: “I’ll shoot the next hitchhiker 1 see." j 4—— Three courageous Russian scientists Pavil Fedeaeinko. Andiey Vasenko and Ilya Usyskin, whose names will f be forgotten as soon as they are read outside of Russia, sacrificed their liv- * es in exploration of the air.

While it is true that many billions ‘ are being spent, some, perhaps, not s with the wisdom of angels, as least all the money is staying in the Unit- ‘ od States, relieving distress and depression.

KETRING CASE :APPEALED BY j PROSECUTOR State vs Ketring to be Carried to Supreme Court of State.

peal bund. “The State’s motion to dismiss the ippeal was overruled. j ‘ ihe court erred in overruling the I motion of appellant,” according to I he brief. | “According to the affidavit against I he appellee on August 22, 195KJ, I Before me.

ARE THESE PEOPLE BIG ENOUGH TO CHANGE THEIR MINDS This is addressed to the people who have not jet signed the depositors agreements of the State Bank of Syracuse. Do you know that a petition to liquidate the bank at Atwood, closed January 15, has been approved by Judge Doni Id Vander- < veer, and the compensation of of- * fivers in charge of the liquidation according to law, is as follows: J. B. E. LaPlante, special district represent tive, |$4W A MONTH AND MILEAGE; IJ- E. LaFollette, special repre- | ’ sentative, $75 A MONTH AND I | lull AGE; George M. Bowser, at-j i ion .. . SSO A MONTH. - I 'lh s money will of course be ; paid from the assets in that * b.;nk. Anything left after such expenses are taken out will be paid the depositors, who put the u >ney into the bank. As the Journ 1 recalled to minds of its readers sever. 1 weeks ago, a Warsaw bank has been in the I h nds of a receiver, who has been receiving only $2,500 A | YEAR. FOR MORE THAN A I YEAR, and NOT ONE CENT • HAS YET BEEN PAID DEPOSITORS. | ! Now if those who refuse to, sign waivers that they will not j withdraw more th n 25 per cent | of their deposits, finally manage | to pul the Syracuse bank in the ■ h.ruls oi a receiver or liquidator, S 1 what can they hope to accomplish? Anyone by simple arithmetic can easily determine that liquidation is an expensive process, and that the expense, and the loss al-w-.ya assoeL.ted with forced sales, will eat like a cancer into the as- ! sets of the bank. Therefore Giese nori-signers may get even less . money than the plan of 25 per j cent at once and of al! eventually. if anyone in this community thinks that he can obtain a, job ! as liquidator, if he helps dose the | bank, he must not roalixe the temper of those who havp cooperated with the bank officials ’ in the plan of reopening the bank. vv hat can be gained ,by holding ’ out? By not signing the waivers? It begins to look like just plain cussedness, is keeping some of j those who at first said without thinking “I’m not going to sign,” from being really big enough to change their minds now when they know they are wrong.

BANK WAIVERS ARE COMING IN SLOWLY 4 Several Refuse to Agree to Only Plan to Reopen Bank Acceptable to State. Signatures to depositors* agreements, representing $5,000 in deposits, have been obtained since a | committee of 10 business men and farmers was appointed two weeks go to try to obtain signatures, of | those uho had not yet signed waivi ers, according to Stephen Freeman, president of the State Bank of Syracuse. . he sum of approximately $35,000 is on deposit in the bank, not cov- ■ ered by waivers. Two weeks ago this [sum was $40,000, at which time 82 ‘ |er cent of the deposits were covered by waivers. Bad weather delayed the drive to obt tin signaatures of depositors, but the greatest handicap to the success of the drive, according to one of the coni-nitteemen is ignorrnce, and lack of sjiirit of co-operation. Bank officials are maintaining an optimistic attitude, for they s; y the state banking department has not yet set any deadline as t to when the state’s rules for reopening the bank must be fulfilled. The officials have confidence that the committee will be able ot show depositors who have not yet signed that this is the only plan which meets the slate and fed-I eral requirements for reopening the I Syracuse bank. To the query how much longer ‘ would an be made to obtain signatures of the ‘reluctant ones” no definite answer was given. Those who refuse to sign are jeopardizing the welfare of the whole community, S nd unless all sign, the bank will not ' reopen. JOHN KLINE TO BE BURIED TOMORROW

WAS FALSE. ‘ | Mr. and Mrs. Call took their son Richard to Chicago last Friday, where he entered the M sonic hos- ! piul for treatment. It will be recalled that Richard suffered an injury to his head last year. Since that lime his condition has become worse and he was becoming partially paralized. His parents obtained admittance to the hospital, for him, and he was taken there, Mrs. Call remaining I ; with relatives in Chicago to be near! ' him, Mr. Call returning to Syracuse. ’ ‘ Mr. Call received a letter Tuesday j from Mrs. Call, stating an x-ray picture had been taken of Richard’s head and a dark spot showed where his skull had * been injured. She wrote there was to be a consultation of doctors, before any operation. ; Mr. Cail planned to go to Chicago I today. But someone in Chicago mailed a * card to Miss Mary Darr stating Mr. Call died Monday, and the card was , signed by a doctor’s name. Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Darr talked : with Mr, Call, who in turn talked . with their doctor here. Tuesday evening the doctor telephoned to the hospital and talked with Richard Call, so the report of his death Monday was “slightly exaggerated.” > 7.

Al.hough only a few attended the program of the radio stars from station WCFL, Chicago, given in the High school last Saturday evening, everyTbne enjoyed; the entertainment.

Mrs. Frank Woods of Kale Island happened to remark that she could card and spin wool from a sheep’s back into yarn, and had her mother’s spinning wheel at home. “Why not have a Spinning Wheel Tea and let everyone who never has had a chance to see anyone spin come and see how it is done, and by one of our own people too”? was the suggestion made. Antiques and heirlooms were discussed, and it was found that the Aid members had many of these. So a program committee arranged a novel entertainment, with a decoration committee and refreshment committee also busy. The Lutheran church basement will be transformed, the evening of Feb. 13, and there will be “ah old spinning wheel in. the parlor." o HURT IN ACCIDENT Mrs. Emanuel Kinney, who lives south of Syracuse, is suffering from injuries received in an accident. Her hand was caught in the wringer of-a washing machine and went into the machine up to the wrist.

OCAL CRAFT NAMED AS NIGHTWATCHMAN Appointment Made at Meeting of Town Board Tuesday Evening. Board Favors Pond. The town of Syracuse will have a change in nightwatchmen, March Ist, as the result of the Town board’s action at its meeting Tuesday evening. < , Ocal Craft was appointed to take the place of Madison McPherson, who resigned Jan. 17. McPherson, however, presented a petition at the meeting Tuesday, asking that his resignation be reconsidered, and thatx • he be considered as an applicant for the position. His petition was signed by 28 business men. N. P. Atland and Ocal Craft were the two other applicants for the job. Aftej no little discussion, Emory Strieby made a motion that Ocal Craft be appointed night watchman, as he thought that there should be a change made. The motion was seconded by Fielden Sharp. Before the secret ballot was taken which gave two votes for Craft and one for McPherson, W. Q. Connolly spoke against the change of j nightwatchman being made. ! Somehow or other the motion that ■ Craft be appointed as watchman was ! forgotten, and the secret ballot was taken with all applicants being voted iupon. Board Open Minded. Harry Porter presented to the town board the project of the Wawasee Conservation club, to build a rearing pond for fish on the Syracuse Water Corporation’s property back of the pump house. The town boad wanted more * details concerning the amount of water which would be used in the pond, the amount of seepage, and the sixe of the pond, but members expressed themselves as favorable to the project if it would not interfere with the town water supply. The plan of the conservation club is to have an engineer from the conservation department make a survey and furnish plans for the pond, for the department, this to be done free of charge. But before asking the engineer to make the survey the club wanted to know the attitude of the town board toward the construction of a pond for rearing fish. SUIT TO BE HEARD TONIGHT The replevin suit for possession of the automobile which has been in Joe Rapp’s possession since he brought it to his garage after the arrest of the three young men who had a shooting party versus Freeman Moore, was to have been heard in ; Justice Shock’s court Tuesday. Because the prosecutor was unable to attend the trial was postponed until Thursday evening. Mrs. Hawthorn, mother of one of the youths ’ sent to jail filed the suit for replevin ’ to obtain possession of ths car. Rapp i refused to give it up until he receiv- 1 ed pay for work done on it and for ! storage. i & Q < FINDERS KEEPERS 1 - - < Believe it or not, but Monday < morning, while at his chicken coop, < Mart Long noticed a big gray goose waddling around in the center of I Main street.

SECOND SUIT IS FILED VS PROSECUTOR Row in Attorney’s Office Last Week Results in Law Suit. WARSAW, Ind.—Mrs. Geo. Krebs and son Elmer, 18, of North Sherman street, were taken into custody last Thursday afternoon because of alleged attacks on Prosecutor Seth Rowdabaugh, whom they interviewed in his office in an attempt to secure the release of Ed Krebs, 21, another member of the family who was arrested by Sheriff Harley Person on a larceny charge. ? The specific charge was that Ed * Krebs stole a stationary gasoline engine belonging to O. H. Murphy, deceased. Mrs. Krebs was released from jail shortly after she was taken into custody on her own recognizance. During the conference between Mrs. Krebs and her son with Prosecutor Rowdabaugh in his office, Mrs. Krebs told the prosecutor that, her son took the engine because Mr. Murphy owed him money. She h.mded the prosecutor a gote which read as follows: “Please withdraw the erse filed against Ed Krebs” bearing the signature “William Murphy.” It was William Murphy who had made the affidavit against Ed Krebs. Prosecuting Attorney Rowd baugh told Mr. Kreb that he was unable to do business that way. The son immediately became angry and walked over to the prosecutor and said: “You don’t need to think you sre so smart, for we came up here to get Ed and we are going to take him.” He continued talking to the prosecutor, according to witnesses, using vulgar and uncouth language. When the prosecutor asked the young man to leave the office, the latter refused to do so. The prosecutor backed the young man through his office door and in some unknown manner the youth struck the glass door, breaking the glass, but sustaining no injuries. Mrs. Krebs then rushed at the prosecutor, according to witnesses, with a sharp paper cutter in her left hand. Fearing that she would strike him with the sharp instrument, the prosecutor forced her into a chair. Mrs. Krebs and her son left the office and were returning to their car when they were stopped by a deputy who held them until Deputy Sheriff Joe Rovenstine arrived and placed them under arrest. YVhen questioned regarding their actions, Mrs. Krebs and her son both admitted that they misunderstood Prosecuting Attorney Rowdabaugh when he said “we cannot do business that way,” believing that he thought the note which they had handed to him, was not sent by Mr. Murphy. Sues Prosecutor. I Suit for $2,500 damages was filed against Prosecuting Attorney Seth E. Rowdabaugh Friday in circuit court by Asa Leckrone, attorney for Mrs. Margaret (George) Krebs, who alleges that the prosecutor assaulted her in a rude and insolent manner on February 1.

It will be recalled that there is a suit now pending in court in which Lee krone is suing the prosecutor for SIO,OOO, for defaming his character because Leckrone was indicted by the grand jury and later the motion to quash the indictment was granted by the court. ■j Mrs. Krebs' complaint states that the defendant, Prosecuting Atty Seth Rowdabaugh, with great force and violence pushed this defendant sideways over a chair and Violently and, in a rude, insolent and angry manner, assaulted and beat her on her neck and on her back and on her shoulder, each time with great force and effect, all of which occurred in the prosecutor's office in the Times building. It is further alleged by the plaintiff, that she was given into the custody of the sheriff and his deputies and that the defendant forced and compelled her to go to the county jail, causing her wrongful- imprisonment for five hours, restraining and depriving her of her liberty without any reasonable cause or probable cause whatsoever and without any charge, but prompted wholely by defendant's malice. For this reason Mrs. Krebs alleges that she was made “sick and sore and disabled and was greatly injured in her good name and credit and was humiliated and chagrined and was hindered in her work and profession and compelled to expend a large sum of money in attorney’s fees and ex- .
