NEGROES IN FIELD.
The police received a call at 7 o’clock
this morning that two chicken thieves
were unloading some chickens from a
wagon on Tenth street west of the city
hospital. The police emergency squad
under Sergant Sheehan went to tne
scene. The men had started to drive
south on a road just west of the hospital
but when they saw the police the two
negros deserted the wagon loaded with
cnickens and ran Into a coin field. Motor
policemen Dalton, McClure, Maas and
Wilson gave pursuit and at Walnut and
Wilson streets opened fire.
Suddenly Bracey held up his hands and
yelled:
•*i quit. I’m shot.”
Porter, hearing him, also surrendered.
The two men told different stories of
where they obtained the wagon and the
chickens. The horse was a small white
animal and it was hitched to an old
wagon with the word ‘’coal" painted
on It. No license tag was on the wagon.
The three coops, tilled with chickens,
were covered with old carpet. In the
three coors there were thirty hens, most
of them Plymouth Bocks.
NEGROES ’TELL
DIFFERENT STORIES.
One negro declared that a white man
asked them to take the chickens to
market and sell them for him. The otter
negro said a colored man met him cn

chickens hidden in the bushes along Fall
Creek. The police are investigating to
learn where the negroes got tne chickens,
horse and wagon.

TALL CORN OF
STATE HAZARD
FOR AUTOISTS
Hoosier Association Warns of
New Agency in Obscuring
Crossing Views.
There is still a deadly hazard in rorn.
according to officials of the Hoosier
State Auto Association, who have issued
l warning to automobile drivers in refer
once to "blind” country road crossings
which abound by the hundreds in every
section of Indiana during this tall corn
season.
"Our scouts who have been traveling in
nearly every section of the State report
that corn crop conditions, aside from
the recent dry spell are of top notch
variety and that the corn stalks are now
all the way from man-high to nearly
telephone pole height. All of which has
increased the hazard in country driving
at tourist speed,” says the bulletin of
the association.
“We wish to Issue a warning, therefore,
to every automobile owner In Hoosler
dom. to be cautious In going through
blind country road Intersections, made
so at this season of the year by the tall
corn growing right up to the Intersec
tion. It is not enough to sound the
horn—slow down to a control speed.
"In addition to the hazard from
tall corn, there is a hazard from weeds
and ‘live fences' in the shape of hedges.
Trees, and shrubbery, too, are to be
found in luxuriant growth and where
they nre close to a road intersection,
these all form a hazard.
"Just remember, Mr. Driver, that
while yon are sailing down the road at
thirty miles an hour or faster, some
one else may be burning the trail along
the Intersecting road. Several very bad
accidents have been reported and under
such conditions there are apt to be
fatalities.
“It Is with a view of warning every
driver to be cautious, to save lives or
serious injury to person or property,
that we Issue this statement and we hope
to have this warning spread broadcast
through the State press.
“The only safe rule is 'safety first.'
Don't take chances in dashing with un
dimir.ished speed through blind country
road intersections.
“The same rule will hold gnofl in cities.
At every crossing in city or town or
country there is a hazard because auto
mobiles are too thick to make It safe
now to take a chance.
“Never count on the other fellow to
slow down. Do It yourself. Turn
corners slowly. If every motorists will
simply observe these few rules there will
be less accidents and less fatalities. In
cldentally. It is hoped that farmers will
hereafter not plant their corn right up
to a road intersection, but plant some
smailer crop in the main corners.
“Anew State law secured through the
influence of the Hoosier State Automobile
Association requires township trustees
everywhere to have all live fences
trimmed to n height of not over five feet
at road intersections and all shrubbery
ar.d trees interfering with vision of cross
roads must be trimmed or removed. It
is suggested that motorists In every s°c
tlon of the State should take this matter
up with their township trustee with a
view of reducing motoring hazards.''

SURGERY FILMS
TRUE IN DETAILS
Moving Pictures of Operations
to Be of Greate Value.
BERLIN, July 28.—A cinematographic
achievement, which undoubtedly has
proved epoch-making, lias just been dem
onstrated In Berlin's great charitable
hospital In the presence of prominent
physicians and Journalists.
The films showed every stage of half
a dozen operations, Including an opera
tion for fracture of the patella, one for
the extirpation of the breast, and an
operation on the stomach and abdominal
cavity as performed by men like Pro
fessor Bier, Professor Frenkel and others.
The processes Is the Invention of Alex
ander von Rothe, chief physician of the
Wilmersdorf Hospital, who long has been
working with the assistance of the min
istry of education aid the Cinemato
graphic-Technical Association to find a
method of filming the operations which
should show every modon without dis
turbing the stiregon or employing illumi
nation likely to counteract the asepsis.
The lens of the apparatus is contained
in a spherical case which Is suspended
directly over fho field of operation and
the film ribbon, which often is 600 meters
long, passes through a tube from *he
reel in an adjoining room.
The pictures secured show an opera
tion precisely as seen by too operating
surgeon's eye. Even the threads of the
closing stitches are observable.
Indeed, the films give even a more
faithful and more complete picture of
every movement than can bo seen by
those around the operating table.
The possibilities of tha films for
teaching and for making It possible for
surgeons in the various countries to
study enoh other’s technique cannot bo
exaggerated in the view of leading medt
cal me n here.
