by Arthur Brisbane NICE LUMP SUM THE PRESIDENT AT WORK FREE TOMBSTONE BUTTON-PUSHING DAYS

Congress will five President Roosevelt • lump sum, a considerable lump of four thousand million dollars, to let him change from the system of dole and imitation jobs, “picking up leaves and pieces of paper," to real jobs and useful work. In his new White House offices, President Roosevelt is at work on a "social security program,” which will include unemployment insurance and old age pensions. The idea is to let pay rolls contribute to the cost of insurance and pensions. This might work well with normal pay rolls. You hope that the President, in his wisdom, will include in any “security” program security for the nation, in addition to security for individuate, old or out of a job. Unemployment insurance and old ago pensions would do little good if a few thousand planes came flying from Europe or Asia to bomb our cities and spray them with poison gas. If they came now, they could do exactly as they pleased. We have no way of interfering with them. Bruno Hauptmann’s musings on fate’s vagaries were inteirupted the other day by a strange offer from Mr. Standish Hartman, who owns the old Flemington stone works, manufacturing t< mlatones, just opposite the Hauptmann jail. Hauptmann was told, "If you are •ent to the electric chair 1 will let you pick out your own tombstone, free, and help you write the epitaph. 1 will make it a work of art that people will go a long way to see, one that any man would be proud to have." It should take genius to devise a tombstone that “any man would be proud to have" if he got it after being executed for murder. •A day is coming when no man will do any work harder than pressing a button, and science, incidentally, will make crime obsolete. For instance, the Joliet (Ill.) jailer sent a fat "trusty” outdoors for a cigar, and the automatic "electric eye'* at the gate saw him, flashed a light and the innocent fat "trusty” was searched.

About 6:30 p. m. when Mr. and Mrs. Soltau were on their way home about 2 miles east of CtSwles Nicolai’s Alling station on Road fl, the truck which was ahead of them in the road going west as Ahoy were, stopped. The truck was loaded so heavily that its wheels cut tracks in the ice and the wheels of Mr. Soltau’s car were traveling in these tracks and couldn’t get out. He was only going about 20 miles an hour he said, and saw the truck stopping, and tried to stop his own car, or get out of the tracks. But he crashed into the rear of the truck, with the wheels of his car cramped over as far to the left as they’d turn, but sliding into the truck. The radiator of the Soltau car was jammed back and the hood cut through the windshield about 6 inches* fortunately not cutting either Mr. or Mrs. Soltau, although they did receive laps full of glass.

FISH PONDS HERE ASKED AS PROJECT Proposal Sent Governor’s Unemployment Relief Commission Plans and specifications for two fish .rearing ponds, were submitted Monday morning, to Fred Hendrick, county work supervisor of the FRA who will send them to Indianapolis for approval. The proposed ponds would be constructed on the waste land owned by the town, lying between the power house here in Syracuse, and Pearl street, and between the race and the Skinner ditch. At this place a natuial flow of water through the ponds can be obtained as the supply from the mill race is 8 feet above the level of the Skinner ditch into which the ponds would be drained. The two ponds would be each 175 feet long by 40 ft by 75 ft. in width and would be lined with a foot of clay. The ponds would be used by the Wawasee Conservation Club to raise bass and blue gill minnows to be placed in Lake Wawasee the fall of each year, to restock the lake. Last week, notice of proposed construction of ponds was sent to the state board of health for its approval. ‘No word has yet been received. The proposal as submitted to the ! governor’s relief commission asks or 3,6 W work hours, of work relief labor. If the proposed project is approved, 25 men averaging 24 hours per week, for six weeks, will be given employment. The town of Syracuse will furnish two trucks and some two and three inch pipe for the project. Probably both ponds will not be entirely finished before work relief is stopped in the spring, but it is thought by those who submit(rould be completed before the work relief is stopped and in time for parent bass to lay their spawn in the completed pond. The project was submitted by Fielden Sharp, representing the town of Syracuse; and by Roscoe and Wallace Howard, and Harry Porter, representing'the Conservation Club.

NO PROPOSAL MADE BANK BY STETLER First Hearing in Plea for Cut in Det .a Owned, Held Before Arnold Elkhart Co. Commissioner. On the first hearing, Monday morning, in Elkhart before Ethan L. Arnold, commissioner, Carl Stetier was given until Jan. 21 to file a written notice of his offer of settlement of money owed. Ten days after that a second hearing will be held in Elkhart before the commissioner to see if a conciliation between the debtor and the State Bank of Syracuse and the Federal Lank Bank can be effected. It will be recalled that on Dec. 26th Stetier filed in the District Court of the United States for the Northern District of Indiana, a petition praying that he be alioided an opportunity to effect a composition or extension of time on his debts under section 75 of the Bankruptcy Act. At that time he listed his assets as real estate, $7*,641; personal property, $823.50. He and his attorney, Harry Vernon have not jet made an offer of settlement. But the depositors of the waivered accounts of the local bank, represented by Stephen Freeman and Roy Darr stated at Monday morning’s hearing that the trustees of the waivered deposits of the bank here were willing to consider the amount owed them as $8,600 —the $7,000 note which Stetier owed the bank plus three years and 8 months back interest disregarding another note for S4OO. The trustees, through George Xanders, attorney, had filed foreclosure of mortgage proceedings against Stetier in an attempt to liquidate frozen assets, but according to Commissioner Arnold, the filing of Stetler’s conciliation petition stops all foreclosure proceedings. The $8,600 owed the State Bank of Syracuse is on the 80 acre farm of Stetier, and the $6,314.17 owed the Federal Land Bank is on Stetler’s 111 acres. At the hearing Monday, the commissioner asked Stetier what his gross income for 1933 had been. Stetier said. “That’s hard to toil, but not much more than living «- penses. In 19|1 hog cholera killed my hogs and cost me about SI,OOO. In 1932 we barely existed. In 1934 we about kept even.” Stetier named wheat and corn as products of his farms but said hogs were his principle source of income. He said he had lost money on them, however, for two years. Whan questioned he said that he did not sign the corn-hog contract. According to Arnold, he has the largest number of conciliation cases for hearing of any commissioner in the state. He said that most counties have only 10 or 11 cases. He said the rule was adopted in Northern Indiana to start hearings on a case and continue these. During the process petitioners file their offers. The State Bank of Syracuse and the Federal Lank Bank mutt file their statements of amounts owed, before Stetier will make an offer of settlement. According to Vernon, Stetler’s attorney: "a debtor seldom knows the amount of his obligations until a hearing.” TEMPORARILY IN SERVICE

DO YOU I REMEMBER— I I Syracuse Journal—Jan. 14, 1999 When the Syracuse Electric Tablet Co. advertised cathartic tablets for sale When Greens Drug Store advertised “Seneca” and “Fleck’s” food to do wonders for your stock. When J. S. Veirs advertised as watchmaker and jeweler? When the Advance Radiator Co. advertised how "to heat the entire house with one stove”? When the Star clothing store held a sale, advertising $lB suits for $9? When Myers and Grissom advertised “We have a good supply of all kinds of wood on hand”? When N. P. Huffman advertised as “your jeweler"? When services at Bishop White’s church on Wawasee were changed to 10:30 a. m. and 7 p. m. Sunday?* When Miss Carrie Miller gave her first dancing lesson to a class of six at Brady’s news stand? When, is was stated: “In an effort to make the Journal a better paper we have secured Glenn Gordy to act as our reporter"? When other advertisers were: J. M. Treesh, attorney-at-law; and Miller Brothers, hardware? Editorial WHO’LL BE THE FIRST ONE HE’LL ARREST HERE? B. O. Mabie, better known as “Pistol Pete” and who has an unsavory reputation in Syracuse, has been appointed special police officer by Mayor Dubois of Warsaw. He is being paid by the coal dealers of Warsaw to guard their coal piles. Me was appointed by Mayor the insistence of the coal dealers, probably without much investigation. Mabie’s appointment would have been all right if his activities could be restricted to the coal piles in Warsaw. But Pistol Pete is ambitious and his warrant gives him the authority to go over the county, enforcing the law aa he thinks it ahould be enforced,, and making arresta.. He is bound to make visits to Syracuse where his proclivities for enforcing trival infractions of the law are only too well known. His ambitions are boundless when it comes to enforcing the law. Already he has offered to cooperate with Noah Eaton, county game warden in enforcing the game laws. His offer was cooly ignored by Eaton who knows that Mabie’s idea of the law is to shove it down the throats of everyone and thus spoil all the good work that the Conservation Department has done in trying to educate the thoughtless violators of the game laws. The prosecutor, Seth E. Rowdabaugh will not cooperate with Mabie either. When Mabie presented an affidavit to the prosecutor, Mabie was told that any affidavit he presented would be ignored. Mabie was also told by the prosecutor to get out of his office and stay out. At the same time Mabie’s psst, present and future were hurled into . Mabie’s teeth by the prosecutor which Mabie took very meekly. There may be some people in Warsaw who think that Mabie’s activities should not be confined only to the Warsaw coal piles but should be given as wide a scope as possible. They might think that Syracuse and the Lake Wawasee district needs special attention from some one connected with Warsaw—a “watch your neighbor’s morals” attitude. To those people, if there are any, the feebng of residents of Syracuse and of Lake Wawasee on Mabie’s appointment can be summed up thusly:—Pistol Pete may be good enough for Warsaw and its coal pile but he is not good enough for this end of the county. He is one of those things which make people laugh at ths law because of what represents it. TO NAME INSPECTORS

MENTONE IS WINNER OF BECAME Syracuse Boys Play Ball But Have Not Height of Mentone Players. The old saying that a good little team cannot win from a good big team, was well illustrated at Mentone, Friday evening, when Mentone's basketball team defeated the Syracuse High School team, 43 to 30. It was a game played between giants on one side and average sized boys on the other. Syracuse felt the loss from their line-up of their pivot man, Stucky, who is ill with the mumps, but it is doubtful even if Stucky were in the game that Syracuse could have won, for besides being huge, the Mentone boys can handle the basketball, guard, and make baskets with ease. The Syracuse team was not outclassed except for the terrific handicap of height, and after they had overcome their awe of the bigness of the Mentone men, they put up a real battle. Just how good a fight they put up can be seen by examining the score ’ at different periods of the game. At the end of the first quarter Mentone led 8 to 2, after Osborn had made the first basket of the game. At the end of the half, Mentone still led by the small margin of 4 points with the score standing 16 to 12. Then at the start of the third quarter a basket by Jones, a free throw by Bitner put Syracuse only one point behind in the score, with it reading 16 to 15. Baskets by Underhill and R. Paulus gave Mentone a comfortable * margin again, but Osborn cut it down when he dribbled down the floor and made a basket. Songer then shot a field goal, putting the score 22 to 17. Searfoss put Syracuse again in the running when |ie shot one, the score 22 to 19. The rest of the period was all Mentone's, for the score at the end of this third quarter was 31 to 21. In the final quarter the scoring was much more even. Syracuse made 9 pointe and Mentone 12. Osborn played the best game that he has played this season, making 11 points and furnishing the dynamic energy that kept his team fighting. Ott, who had played the whole of the second team game, and who was thrown into the fray at the end. _of the first quarter of the main event of the evening, played a good game at guard. In fact he played such a good game that he will no doubt be used on the first string much more frequently. 0 ELECTION BOARD’S FAULT According to Royce Hildenbrand, county clerk, the receipt of a notice that one must register again because of not having voted during th# .past two elections, when that one has voted is no fault , of the county clerk's office but is the fault of the . clerk of the election board at the time of the election. At that time a mark is supposed to be placed on the card of each registered voter, as he votes, so that the county clerk may know if he has voted or not. When no such mark is on a card naturally he thinks the person has not voted and sends a notice that he, or she must register again. It is stated that further registration is. not necessary before the coming election on Jan. 29, but that notices that those whose cards were not marked as having voted, must be seen to, and registration taken care of before future elections. ■ '0 " BABY DIES. i ■ / The 10 days old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Larson, who live near South Bend, formerly of Syracuse, died last Thursday, choking to death.
