by Arthur Brisbane NO, NO CASH MONEY WON THEIR REWARD TO DISCOURAGE MURDER NO SURPRISE POSSIBLE

According to th* solemn agreement, made between “gallant allies," which the British call themselves and us, the United States should receive from Great Britain the sum of •360,000,000. Another considerable sum Jon account of “war debts of horror’ is due from France. Will three amounts be paid to maintain, spotless, the honor of nations that borrowed in their troubles? They will not be paid. Nothing will be paid. Three hundred and sixty millions of dollars are more important than “spotless honor.” To the announcement that she would pay nothing Great Britain frankly adds that “it would be useless, and therefore unwise,” even to attempt Negotiations. Little Finland, on the contrary, announces her intention to pay the installment. Napoleon called England “a nation of shopkeepers,” which annoyed the English and was inaccurate. Shopkeepers make it a habit to pay their debts in order to keep their credit. Two life convicts have earned freedom by submitting to medical experiment, with “tuberculosis vaccine,’or “preventive.” The “preventive" with which the doctor* have experimented on Carl Ericson and Mike Schmidt for months past, is not a tuberculosis cure. It prevents those inoculated from contracting tuberculosis, as ordinary vaccination prevents contracting smallpox. Doctors of the ‘’National Jewish hospital, who have worked on the new serum for lb year* past, warned the coQvjct* that they would risk their lives in the experiment, now proved successful. Both braved death in hope of possible recovery of liberty a* the reward. They have won the reward. On both sides of the Atlantic attempts ar* made to discourage murder.

WEATHER PREVENTS WORK ON PROJECTS Other Relief Work Must be Found, Or Families on FERA Work Must be Taken Care Os. The town board and the township trustee will either have to form another project on which men can work in inclement weather or have the men who are residents of this township and who are now working on the airport and the mill race go on direct relief which is paid directly by the taxpayer*. Such were the words of Fielden Sharp at Tuesday night's board meeting. He said he obtained his information from Fred Hendricks, in charge of relief work in the county. At present 31 families are on direct relief and- 28 men are working on relief work, or a total of 59 families on relief. Last month it cost the township $3Ol for direct relief purposes. In this sum were doctor bills for several operations. Turkey Creek township was the second lowest in the county last month for poor relief. During the discussion that followed the disturbing news it was recalled that projects for redecorating the Grade school and finishing the park had already been approved. Board members thought that the reason that nothing had been done on the school was due to the change in trustees that is due at the beginning of the coming year. A suggestion was made that a committee should be formed to lay the proposition before Walter Koher, the trustee elect. This will probably be done. If work on the school is done, paint brushes and an overseer will have to be paid for out of the special school fund. Sharp said that very little could be accomplished on the park as long as the ground remains frozen. Board members * decided that another exetnsion to the mill race project should be sought to repair the abutments on the Carol Street bridge and to lengthen the curve in the race above the power house. This will be the second extension on the race if it is granted. Another project discussed was one for repairing side walks in the town. If such a project would go through the persons who own the side walks would furnish the material and th* FERA the labor. The board passed a resolution declaring that the lots in the original plat of Syracuse were 7 rods long instead of 8 rod*. When this resolution and a map showing the correction is filed with the recorder an error of over a hundred years will be corrected.

Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year! CLUBS O.K. PROPOSALS ON CONSERVATION County Clubs Meet in Warsaw — Want Open Season for Fishing With Breeding Grounds Staked Representatives of 23 Conservation Clubs of Kosciusko County, during the course of voting on a proposed state legislative program, drawn up by district representatives of all the clubs of the state, voted in favor of an open fishing season the year round with the provision that breeding grounds in the lakes be staked off during spawning season. The meeting of the clubs of the county was held in Warsaw, Friday evening. In addition to club representatives, Arthur Schuler of Wabash, joint Senator; Hobart Creighton, county representative; and Paul Brembeck, Wabash county representative, attended the meeting. The change in the game laws voted by the county clubs was not in the legislative program submitted to the clubs for consideration. But a vote was taken to determine the sentiment of the conservation clubs of the county on this particular matter. Only representatives of two dubs voted agafht the open fishing season. Before voting began on the proposed conservation bills to be presented at the next legislature, Bruce Pierce of the Lake conservation club was elected county representative of the club, succeeding Thames Mauzy of Warsay. Noah Eaton, county game warden gave a brief resume of the work done by the conservation clubs during the past year. He stated that on August Ist this year there were 3,495 members in clubs of Kosciusko county; that 43,236 predatory and rough fish had been speared by club members up to August I*. 1934; that club member* had raised 37,319 fish in 14 fish ponds of clubs; that 167 pheasants had been reared by the. clubs. He said that since the clubs had been organized 80 gill nets and 83 old, used spears had been voluntarily turned over to the conservation department; that 17 men with 11 gill net* had been arrested. He also cited figures showing that the number of violators of the fish and game laws had been materially reduced by the educational work of the clubs. He said that from May 1 to Dec. 1, 1933 89 were arrested and convicted of violation of law*; that for the corresponding period in 1934, only 31 were arrested and convicted of violating game law*.

INJURIES CAUSE DEATH OF BEACH Dies Three Weeks After Accident Which Caused Death of His Wife. On Sunday, three weeks after the automobile accident occurred which caused the death of his wife almost instant aaneonsly, A. A. Beach died at his home about 1:30 o’clock in the afternoon. His son Leon from New York state who had been here with him, having left a hospital in Cleveland; 0., where he was being treated for injuries he received while at work on the railroad, had been called back to the hospital, and had left his father, last Thursday. Henry Lavering had been stayng with Mr. Beach. On Sunday, Rev. Hively was with him, until Mr. and Mrs. Bert Cripe arrived after Sunday school. Mrs. Eva Butt also came to the house to help Mr. Cripe change Mr. Beach’s bed, etc. Mr. Lavering had gone to his own home for a few hours. Mr. Cripe shaved Kir. Beach, and with the assistance of Mrs. Butt had helped him from the bed to the chair at the side of the bed. Mr. Beach insisted on being allowed to stand, and did so, and although he groaned when his feet touched the floor, he straightened and said: “I’m on my two -feet. ” He joked with them, and then when his bed was changed he went back into bed, and Mr. Cripe commenced to rub him with alcohol. Mr. Beach asked for a drink of water. By that time Mr. Lavering had returned and brought him the glass of water. Mr. Beach said: “Oh, Bert, there’s something wrong, I can't swallow.” Then he said, “I can breathe out but I can’t get any breath in.” Mrs. Cripe ran to the home of Dr. Latham across the street and the doctor was called. Mr. Beach was conscious to the last, his final words being, “Just two weeks ago tonight”— evidently forgetting that it was really three weeks ago. He was unconscious when the doctor arrived and the doctor stated that an •mboUiam, er bleed clot had caused his death. Telegrams were sent to his twin son and daughter in New York state and the Cleveland hospital. His son returned to Syracuse Monday. The last word Mr. Beach had received from his daughter was that the injuries she had received in an automobile accident, which prevented her attending Mrs. Beach's funeral, did not permit her to walk. Mr. Beach was 72 years old last July. He was born in New York state, and came to Syracuse in 1911, where he opened a blacksmith shop, until nine years ago when he sold this shop and opened a soft drink parlor. He discontinued this business last summer. Funeral services for him were held yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock, with Rev. Hively officiating. Burial was beside Mrs. Beach in the Syracuse cemetery.

PETITION OF JESSE GRADY IS REJECTED Bank Trustees, Main Creditors Refuse Offer Made. Represented by Harry Vernon, attorney from Goshen, Jesse E. Grady presented the proposition under the Frazier-Lemke act, before Everett Rasor, commissiofter councilman, that he would pay the State Bank of Syracuse SIO,OOO on the mortgages owed, pay the bank $l5O on the unsecured notes owed which with the mortgages total $37,902.01; pay other creditors, Mrs. Mary Byal S7O on the $7,000 owed to her; pay Mrs. ; Della Whitehead of Goshen $3 on the S3OO owed; paying of principal on or before the end of the first year 2H per cent _oL_the principal to creditojSr before cent of the principal before three years; 5 per cent of the principal before four years; 5 per cent of th* principal before five years; one percent interest on the unpaid balance yearly, and payment of the balance of the principal—slo,ooo, S7O, and $3 on dr before six years, and pay the taxes. j The notes and mortgages mentioned in this action are all in possession of the liquidating trustees and are not, in any way the property of !the present stockholders and depositors of the present State Bank of Syracuse, but represent entirely, ( funds set over by the state banking department to the trustees to be liquidated to pay off the depositors ‘of the old bank. i Officials of the State Bank of Syra- | cuse, represented by Attorney Walter Brubaker Rejected the proposition but Mrs. Whitehead and Mrs. Byal accepted it. Following this rejection of the proposition of SIO,OOO settlement within ! six years of the money borrowed ' from the bank, Mr. Brubaker asked .; Mr. Vernon if his client, Mr. Grady j planned to go into bankruptcy, but Mr. Vernon said no, that he would go into federal court. Mr. Vernon asked if the bank had another proposition to offer Mr. Grady, and Mr. Brubaker said not at present, but it was agreed to continue the hearing until 10 o'clock Monday morning, Dec. 31, before Everett Rasor, in the library of the court house. When Mr. Brubaker commenced questioning Mr. Grady he brought out the fact that in Mr. Grady’s petition, announcing his debts to the bank as $29,765, he had forgotten to mention a further debt of SB,OOO lowed the bank, making the total to the bank itself $37,902.01, in addition to the money owed Mrs. Byal and Mrs. Whitehead. In questioning Mr. Grady, Mr. Brubaker obtained the information from him that Mr. Grady lives on his 164 acre farm in Turkey Creek Township and has done so since 1909 that the principle of the mortgage owed the bank was $17,000; that in payment of interest the debtor had given the bank notes for $4,034.67, making a total of $21,034.67, which sum included interest on his loan from the bank up to Sept. 7, 1933. That the interest from Sept. 7, 1933 to Dec. 4, 1934 amounts to $1,840.53 making the total owed, $22,875.20. » That three personal notes for $4,605,92 or the total of $13,817.78 were owed with accrued interest of $2,109.05; making a total of $15,026.81. Mr. Brubaker at this point asked Mr. Vernon if he didn’t believe that a note for interest on a mortgage which had not been paid did not become part of the mortgage. He said that the grand total owed the bank was $37,902.01. Then turning to Mr. Grady, Mr. Brubaker said in the petition Mr. Grady said his land was worth only SIO,OOO. He asked: “Was there not an offer made in the last few weeks for purchase of your farm at $16,000?” Mr. Grady said he didn’t know. When asked how much the house on his farm cost, Mr. Grady said he didn't know, somewhere between $15,000 and SIB,OOO. Mr... Brubaker asked it Mr. Grady had not invested the $17,000 on the original mortgage to finish and complete the erection of the house. Mr. Grady said the money was spent the year the house was erected in 1925. When asked by Brubaker, “Didn't that house cost $25,000?“ Mr. Grady answered No. Brubnker asked Grady if he hadn't been operating for several .years on a large scale, raising sheep and lambs. Grady said he had only four loads of sheep last year, numbering 1,292. He said there was no money in them, that be had received them i on contract from a man in Montana, who furnished the, lambs and Grady (Continued on Lu*t
