DEMOCRACY Is UNITED.

Little has been heard from Oppo-
sition papers during this year about
the financial condition of the state of
Indiana. The fact that the last leg

pense of any Legislature for 20 years
may have had something TO DO with

gained control of the state in 1910
there was an intelligent effort by eX-

Of this work were W. II. O'Brien,
state auditor. and for years president
of one OF the solid banks of the state;
with him was State Treasurer William

MANAGEMENT OF the funds of the
state of Indiana was no unusual task
for them.
They started out on a fixed policy.
Indiana had 10 or 20 big institutions
supported solely by taxation. but these
institutions were spending 50 for
every 81 taxes levied for them. The
deficit was being made up by taking
money raised for other purposes.

Ironing day: Summer: What
more dreaded combination than these
could be imagined by the housewife
few years ago? Particularly for
the housewife who did her own IRON
ing was there much discomfort to
anticipate as each unwelcome ironing
day doomed up, and every woman
whether she employed laundresS or
maid-of-all-wOrk to do the ironing,
knew that an Overheated house and
a quick tempered servant could do
more to SOW the seed of discomfort
than nearly any other cause.
How different the situation is in
the modern household today, no
longer is there that universal dread
of ironing day.

ONLY SON is LEFT
AFTER MANS ACT
Aurebach Kills Wife, Daughters and
Self-WhOlesale Destruction of
New York Family is Not
Detected for Hours.

New York, Jan. 31.-Armed with
magazine rifle equipped with a
silencer, Herman Aurebach, a wealthy
real estate operator, Respondent over
financial reverses, to-day shot and
killed his wife and two daughters as
they slept and then killed himself
His son, Lester, high school stu
dent, was the only member of the
family left alive.
So completely did the silencing de-
vice muffle the reports of the weapon
that the tragedy was not discovered
until several hours later, when the
son found under his door a note from
his father requesting him to tele-
phone relatives. The quadruple kill
ing took place in an exclusive apart
ment house on Central park, west.
Coroner Feinburg, after an inves-
tigation, stated that Auerbach evil
IDENTIFY had planned the tragedy for
several days and had executed it with.
calm deliberation. The son inform,
ed the coroner that his father had
brought the rifle home nine days ago.
A maid in the Aurebach home, who
had not been disturbed by the shoot
ing, arose as usual but made no effort
to call the family until 10 O'Clock,
when, failing to get response from
the others, she aroused Lester. The
boy found under his door a note in
his fathers writing, which read:
"When you wake up telephone
Uncles Leopold and Joe Levy and
grandpa"
The boy went to his fathers room.
where he found his father and
mother dead in their beds, between
which lay the rifle. Going into the
room of his two sisters he founo
Beatrice, aged 1S, and Daisy, two
years younger, dead too, with the
bed clothing tucked about them and
drawn over their heads. The boy
followed his fathers instructions,
notifying the relatives as we'll as the
police. He then broke down and be-
came frantic.
The coroner found on a desk III
Aurebachs room four empty cart
ridge shells of heavy calibre, appar-
emily elected from the rifle after each
shot. Inasmuch as the fourth bull
let was that which Aurebach endeG
his own life, the coroner could nor
understand how all four shells haG
been picked up, but finally decided
that the son might have found the
fourth and placed it with the others
without realizing what he was doing.
Until few years ago Aurebach haG
been a member of New York candy
firm, from which he retired to devote
his attention to real estate. A few
months ago, it is said, his property
was valued at nearly $1,O00,000.

about the town on his motorcycle
He found Freeman in the store behind
the counter and entered, pointing his
pistol in the face of the man he or
dered him to stand and hold up his
hands.
Officer Posey was alone, and he was
somewhat put on his nerve when the
burglar said, back into the darkness
of the store:
"Come on Frank, they've got us!''
The officer did not know that an.
other burglar was in the store, ano
hence as he was alone he realized that
he might be in close place with two
men, both likely armed; but he held
his nerve and held the one burglar he
had captured and explored the rest OF
the store. By using the telephone he
summoned aid and soon had lights
and assistance. 1t was found that
Freeman was alone.
He was locked up in the city Jail
until yesterday later in the morning
and sometime about noon was moved
to the county Jail, as he will have t.
be tried in the court of general ses-
sions.

SILVER THREADS AMONG THE
GOLD

| Darling, l am growing old,
Silver threads among the gold,
Shine upon my brow today,
Life is fading fast away.
But my darling you will be
Always young and fair to me;
Yes, my darling you will be
Always young and fair to me.
When your hair is silver white,
And your cheeks no longer bright,
With the roses of the May,
l will kiss your lips and say;
Oh! My darling, mine alone, alone
You have never older grown,
Yes, my darling, mine alone,
You have never older grown.
Love can nevermore grow old,
Locks may lose their brown and gold,
Cheeks may fade and hollow grow,
But the hearts that love will know
Never, never, winters frost and chill;
Summer warmth is in them still,
Never winters frost and chill,
Summers warmth is in them still.
Love is always young and fair;
What to us is silver hair,
Faded cheeks or steps grown slow,
To the hearts that beat below?
Since kissed you then alone, alone,
You have never older grown;
Since l kissed you then alone,
You have never older grown.
Since the above has sprung into
popularity again, the following taken
from Philadelphia paper in 1911
will be of interest, especially to those
who hold tender memories in regard
TO this old song of more than three
decades ago:
Hart p. Danks, who composed the
music of "Silver Threads Among the
Cold" was found dead yesterday
morning in his room at the house
where heboarded, 1910 Race street
Almost to his last breath Danks
sang the plaintive notes of the mel
ody which has endured for 80 years.
Divas has rendered it before dis
tinguished audiences in all parts of
the world; it has been hummcd and
whistlcd by two generations; ana
ranks as one of the best old songs
that were produced by the school of
native American composers, among
whom Danks occupied high rank.
Mrs. G. S. Hallman, Dank'S land
lady, heard the old man at the organ
on Thursday night. He had been all
ing and seemed to enjoy playing and
singing some of his compositions.
Dank's frequently told Mrs. Hallman
of his affections for "Silver Threads
Among the Cold" and day or two
ago commented with pleasure to his
friend, Richard II. Kayser. a music
publisher at 214 North 18th street,
on the fact that his royalties from
the sale of the song were greater
this than last.
"I'm proud of my 3O-year old
baby" he said.
Fond of the Last Verse
Three or four times Dank's sung
"Silver Threads Among the Gold" OF.
Thursday night, repeating the last
verse:
Love is always young and fair,
What to us is silver hair,
Faded checks or steps grown slow
To the hearts that beat below?
Since | kissed you then alone, alone.
You have never older grown;
Since | kissed you then alone,
You have never older grown.
Dank's was lying by the side of hi,
bed when Mrs. Hall'nan entered the
room yesterday morning. On the mu-
sic rack of the organ was a copy of
"Silver Threads Among the Gold"
Pencil marks were scored above the
final stanza,
"He must have been thinking of
his own troubles" said Mr.. Kayser
yesterday.
