For stealing a naufcomobile in Chi
cago and bringing it to Indianapolis,
where he was caught, Benjamin L. Da
vis, 20, of Youngstown, Ohio, was

An echo of an old case that caused a
big sensation in Indiana two years ago
was heard when Thomas J. Williams, Ft.
Wayne, was brought up on a charge of
counterfeiting. Williams was indicted in
1919, but before he could be arrested he
was taken Into the State courts of Alien
County and given a sentence of two to
fourteen years in the Sta£e prison under
an old law that had not been called Into
use for years. It was charged at the
time that this step was taken for the
sole purpose of evading the Federal
authorities. He had raised two $5 bills
to SSO and they had been passed by a
young woman. When arraigned In Fed
eral Court the yuoo woman pleaded
guilty, but was permitted to go on sus
pended sentence by Judge Anderson.

Wayne SSO for misbranding a carload of
tankage it shipped Into Michigan. The
company branded the tankige “guaran
teed to contain 60 per cent protein,” when

light fine was doe to the fact that the
company had purchased the tankage in
good faith from another concern.
DISPOSES OF
LIQUOR CASES.
A large number of liqnor cases from
Clinton were disposed of. and Judge
Geiger made it very clear that he did not
believe it was the province of the Fed
eral Court to censor the acts of the State
courts. This came np in the trial of
Andrew Carll of Clinton. Carli was fined
SSO and given a sentence of six months
in Jail by the State courts but the days
were suspended. The Government con
tended this was not sufficient punish
ment. '
“We will get into a whole lot of trou
ble If we try to handle the same case
In Federal Courts after It has been dis
posed of in the State eonrts, even if the
two are technically different." he said.

GIVES ADVICE
FOR TREATING
TREE INJURIES
Methods of Preserving Shade
Timber Given by City
Expert. ,
If Indianapolis is to preserve th*
beauty of her many tree bordered
streets, care must be taken not to neglect
Injuries to shade timber, George E.
Morgan, head of the special service of the
city park department warns In a bulle
tin on “Tree Surgery,” made public to
day.
The bulletin is as follows:
“Injuries of various sorts are so com
mon on trees that most people are ignor
ant of the consequence of jieglected
wounds or at least they underestimate
the danger. Every wound, regardless of
its size, that penetrates the inner bark,
if left unprotected may be the cause of
the death of a fine and healthy specimen.
“The best and most economical plan
to prevent future decay and Injury is
to treat this wound as it may appear,
especially If the tree is a valued one.
“In tree surgery there are a few fun
damental principles that should be ob
served to secure permanently good re
sults.
“Remove ail dead, decayed or diseased
and injured wood.
“Sterilize and waterproof all cut sur
faces.
“Leave all work in the most favorable
condition for rapid heaiing, this often
means the filling or covering of deep
cavities.
“Watch the work from year to year
and If any defects should appear they
should be tended to Immediately.
“In Instances where neglect has been
the cause of considerable decay It may
become necessary for some cavity filling
to be done; in such case only an ex
perienced man thoroughly versed in all
lines of the work should be employed.
In cavity filling the value of the tree
should be carefully considered; If the
specimen is a rapid-growing short-lived
“tree it Is hardly worth the time and
money spent in an endeavor to save it,
but rather be taken out completely and
replaced with an approved variety. In
any event a diseased or insect-infested
tree should not be allowed to remain as
a menace to near-by trees which are In a
more healthy condition.
“In cavity filling proper the primary
steps are to remove all the decayed or
diseased wood, cutting back to the live,
vigorous tissue. The exposed surfaces
should then be sterilized; in sterilizing
rare should be taken not to touch the
cambium or growing layer as it is of
such sensitive nature that injury would
result. After a thorough sterilization
the wound should be waterproofed by
being ' given an application of XXX
Asphaltnm. In making the cavity care
should be exercised so as to not make
it any larger than necessary.
“A good example of extensive tree
surgery work in Indianapolis may be
seen in front of the Bobbs-Merrill Pub
lishing Company on East Vermont street.
At this place extensive cavity filling has
been resorted to and shows what may be
accomplished in the wry of saving trees.
“Those citizens w-uo are desirous of
receiving information relative to this or
any other forestry problem are urged to
I consult the special service, department
public parks.”
MACHINE STILL
SEEKS WAY OF
BEATING SHANK
(Continued From Page One.)
dfiyiT before the primary election is held
by some legal authorities to effectively
bar the entrance of any other candidates
at this time. Others, however, contend
that this merely bars candidates who ran
as “independents” or who were defeated
candidates on a party ticket In the pri
mary, and does not prohibit the forma
tion of an entirely new party and tbs en
trance of an entirely new ticket.
One of the bitterest pills for the city
administration crowd to swallow is the
fact that they were instrumental in
shoving that law through the Legisla
ture. It was originully designed to pre
vent Shank from again becoming an in
dependent candidate, but the crowd of
Marlon County politicians now confess
they have effectually blocked their own
game.
Democrats undoubtedly would wel
come the aid which the News-Jewett ma
chine might give their candidate but the
suggestion that Mr. Ralston, haviug won
the nomination by a majority of mori
than two to one, step out of the way for
some man whom the bl-partlsan Repub
licans consider stronger than him nat
urally would meet with the strongest
kind of opposition from the nominee and
his organization. In fact prominent
Democrats who have been told that the
mayor and his associates are discussing
such a move have been greatly angered
by it, considering it an insult to Mr.
Ralston.
Following the conference Mr. Lemaux
issued the folowing statement: ; “Hav
ing been unanimously elected Republic
an city chairman by the precinct com
mitteemen, I do not feet inclined to be
hasty In determining my course of ac
tion as regards the request of Mr. Shank,
Personally, I regard the interests of the
Republican party as far greater than the
desires of individuals, and T feel that 1
should give serious consideration to a
matter that has no precedent in Marion
County politics to my knowledge.”
Mr. Lemaux stated that he would have
nothing definite to say about his decision
for several days.

PLANS CRUSADE

Secretary of Tuberculosis As
sociation to Lead Health
Drive.
A crusade to instruct the public of
Indianapolis and Marion County In the
dangers that grow out of promiscuous
spitting was announced today by Mary
A. Meyers, executive secretary of the

many other places, warnings against the
spitting habit will be sent forth to the

clly and other health officials and the
police department are to cooperate
The crusade will be developed along
lines that have produced lasting results
In several American cities, and the even
tual purpose of the work, the tuberculosis
officials pointed out today, is to guide
public opinion that enforcement of exist
ing city ordinances against spitting will
be made easier and additional festrictions
provided for the future health of the city.
Investigators, under the direction of
the anti tuberculosis organization, have
spent the last week gathering dnta on
the spitting situation in public buildings,
on sidewalks and elsewhere. One of these
investigators has made a report to the
tuberculosis association, in which he
quotes Janitors and other officials of the
downtown district as being in a constant
battle to prevent unthinking persons from
spitting In places from where disease
easily might be spread.
Dr. J. N. Htirty, State health commis
sioner, has written a letter to the local
association, setting out the dangers from
promiscuous spitting, as follows:
“Sputum and the secretions of the nose
are known to rarry the organisms cau
sative of many diseases. Among these
• diseases are smallpox, diphtheria, scarlet
fever, measles. leprosy, consumption (all
forms), whooping cough, epidemic polio
myelitis, Influenza, common colds, pneu
monla, cerebrospinal fever, tonsilitla.
Vincent's angina, septic sore throat and
catarrh.'*
Many organizations, which have named
health chairmen to cooperate with the
work of the Antl-tuberenlosis Association,
have been apprised of log
health crusade through their'officers and
have adopted strong resolutions in sup
port of the program. Among these groups
are the Federation of Indianapolis Public
School Teachers, the Y'oung Men’s Chris
tian Association, the Salvation Army, the
American Club and others.
