NEED FOR FEWER LAWS
fndianapolis Starl

1 A man who has been practicing In
the courts of Indiana for 30 Years
writes to the Star that the greatest
evil OF our procedure is the complete
transformation OF our statutory law
by every legislative session. BY the
time an active attorney has mastered
the code Of one biennial term along
comes another and upsets the whole
business. Most OF the civil orr criml.
ma! chapters are complicated already.
and the addition OF several new en-.
actments on each topic throws the
Whole subject into confusion.
Not only that, but many OF these
legislative moving pictures have to be
interpreted by the courts before any
body knows what they mean. Here Is
the new saloon code, for example, EN-.
braced in two separate acts. both Of
them referable also to the existing
law and construction. At points they
seem to conflict with each other and
with the present practice. Not sci.
dom the complete Interpretation. Of
the new law Is ended just about the.
time new legislature meets and puts
the whole business into confusion
again. 5Jis
It was the suggestion Of this veter:
an practitioner that the Legislature
meet once every four years. that Its
membership be reduced and that its
enactments be fewer. and more gen.
eral In scope Before November, 1912,
rolls around twill have become clear
TO all Indiana that: these Ideas OF lin
itlng our legislative troubles are all
transyened by Governor Marshall's
proposals to lengthen the Legislative
term and increase the size OF the as
sembly. This will give us more laws
instead OF fewer. exactly opposite to
our real need and to the doctrine Of
true democracy.

TOWN is SWEPT
AWAY BY FLOOD
Hundreds Of People Killed and
Drowned.
RIVAL TO YOUNGSTOWN FLOOD

Bursting of Great Dam Caused $780,
100000 Gallons of Water to Rush
Down Upon the Town of Austin, Pa.
Austin, Pa, town of 1920 resi-
dents In the northern part of the
state was swept out of existence and
hundreds of it's people were killed by
a flood which followed the breaking
of the Bayless Pulp and Paper COM
pany's dam mile and half north of
the town.
Almost 500,000,000 gallons of water
rushed over the place in a wall 30
feet high, wrecking every structure
in It's path.
In Austin, the bursting of scores of
natural gas mains as the buildings
were swept away, added fire to the
general horror of the flood, and hun
dreds of those imprisoned in the
wreckage were burned to death.
Contents of the great dam which
was filled to overlooking by the heavy
rains of the last two weeks, swept
through natural gorge in which the
towns of Austin and Costello were sit
uated. While many of the residents
of Austin escaped to the hills border
ing each side Of the town, the warn
ing given by the blasts of the Bayless
mills whistles and a telephone girl
were too brief for hundreds Of others.
The catastrophe paralleled in many
respects the destruction by flood of
Johnstown, Pa, in 1889, in which more
than 1000 lives were lost.
The extent of the loss of life and
the destruction of property cannot be
known for several days. The proper
ty loss will surely be several millions
of dollars.

A dispatch from Mexico City says:
Wonceslao Franco, wealthy resident
of Acala, small town in the state
Of Chiapas, was crucified by the re-
bellious Chamula Indians when they
sacked that place last Saturday, &C.
cording to kilograms received by Ell
Impartial from Tuxela Gutierrez, the
state capital.
The story was brought to the Red
Cross headquarters by Francois wife
and later confirmed from other
sources. The woman herself had been
left for dead after having been
stabbed several times by an Indian
using a lance, the popular weapon of
the half savage hordes
According to the stories that have
reached Tuxela Gutierrez the insur.
rectos committed heir depredations in
manner most barbarous. Women
and children were slaughtered by the
mobs, one of whose leaders was a
fanatical priest. He was one of those
killed.
Refugees declare the Indians made
of the massacre of babies a gruesome
sport, tossing them high into the air
and catching them on the tips of their
lances.
Semi-officially 1t is stated that a mil
itary governor. probably General Jose
de la Luz Blanco, of revolutionary
fame, will be sent to Chiapas to re-
store order.
