PULL WOOL OVER HIS EYES
PAROLED 3 TIMES,
BOY HAS LAUGH
ON GOV. GOODRICH
Special to The Times.

JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind, Jan. IL
Somewhere Herbert L. Cummings Of An
derson is laughing up his sleeve at the
expense of Gov. Goodrich.
Herbert is supposed to be serving his
third term as a parole violator at Jeffer-
sonvllle. But he isn't, mainly because Of
the "graciousness of the governor"
The young man, it seems, knew of the
governors uberality with paroles. After
twice being freed from the penal insti-
tuition, only to be returned, he decided
he wanted another parole. So with the
cooperation of his father in Anderson
and the known proclivities of Mr.. Good
rich he left the refOrmatory Dec. 90.
The governor sprung" him on a ten
day parole on that date when a com
munication was sent to the executive
stating that his father was dying.
Whether there was any investigation of
his case is not known, but when Cum
mings continued to remain away from
his cell some one took 1t up.
Before the investigation" got under
way a letter was received from Cum
mings' father saying, II only wanted 20
see the boy before 1 died" 1t has not
been learned here when Mr.. Cummings
expects to die Neither is the where
abouts of Herbert known.

WOCHILDREN
BURN TO DEATH:
THIRD MAY DIE
Parents, Badly Injured and
Scantily Clad, Drive Two
Miles for Aid.
NIGHT LAMP EXPLODEs
Special to The Times.

KOKOMO, Ind, Jan. 17.-Leaving
behind two children burned to death,
a third perhaps fatally burned, and
with his clothing scorched off Of him,
Walter Goyer, farmer living three
miles southeast of here, early today.
in dazed condition, drove two
miles in an automobile with the
nude, unconscious form of his wife
draped across him to his fathers
home.
Goyer fell unconscious with his human
burden as he hammered at the door to
awaken his parents.
The dead children are Robert, 4, and
Henry, 2, while Kenneth. 8, is not ex-
pected to live Mrs Goyer is reported in
a serious condition from shock and ex-
posure. Goyer himself is seriously burned.
AWAKENs TO FIND
ROOM A FURNACE.
An explosion of a lamp in a bedroom
occupied by the children is believed to
have started the fire in the Goyer home
soon after the family had retired.
When Goyer was awakened the room
locked. From within he could hear the
means of his sons. When he had bat
tered his way into the room the flames
drove him back. Glen, Z, another son,
escaped without injury. He was In an
other room.
So rapidly did the flames spread that
1t was with difficulty he saved Mrs.
Goyer. Half crazed as he sa whis home
turned into a charnel house, he grabbed
his wife and rushed out to the shed
where he kept his automobile. Hurting
her nude form into the machine. he
started on a mad race over snow covered
roads to the home of his father John
Goyer
ANOTHER RACE TO
SCENE OF FIRE.
Twice the machine swerved from the
road, but Goyer righted it and sped on
ward with his wife limp and freezing
in his lap.
At his fathers home. he had difficulty
In arousing any one. Frantically he
pounded, remembering during lapses of
his memory, the Riddles he had left in
the ruins of his home. When the elder
Goyer had reached the door it had al
most been battered IN. His strength
gone, Goyer fell PROSTATE on top Of Mrs.
Goyer.
When he was revived and provided
with clothing, another mad race was
started back to the farmhouse. The red
glow of the blaze on the black sky
warned him anew Of the story the ruins
would tell.
Robert and Henry, his two youngest
sons, were burned almost to crisp.

MADOO SURE TO RUN
FOR PRESIDENCY, SAYS
WASHINGTON DISPATCH

on the big economic questions Of the
day.
McAdoo's friend, who today made the
positive assertion that he will be a can
didate throws some light on McAdoo's
position on the big questions of the day.
This friend, so-called, is described in
Simms' Washington dispatch as "a man
who has the reputation of knowing more
of the inside of what is going on in
New York and Washington than almost
any other man. He is not, and never has
been an office seeker, but is a wealthy
New Yorker who has for years welded
considerable influence in the east"
WHAT 0f'ADOO
STANDS FOR.
This friend is quoted as saying that
although McAdoo declined the invitation
of the democratic national committee to
attend the Jackson day dinners in Wash
ington on Jan. on the ground Of being
an exceedingly busy man, it was he who,
perhaps more than any one else who
sounded the keynote" at the banquet.
Merely read out as it was by the toast
masters at the two dinners, 1t failed to
get the attention it deserved and is bound
to get later. For McAdoo's message from
Wichita Falls contained a whole platform
for the party, complete from domestic
policy to foreign relations McAdoo stood
for these things:
Reduction Of war taxes; prompt restor-
alton of world peace; effective legislation
on internal, financial and economic ques-
tons; improved relations between capital
and labor; protection of the public
against needless industrial disputes pro-
motion Of the welfare Of our soldiers and
sailors; freedom OF speech and of the
press In time of peace; progress by ballot
instead Of by bullet; law and order;
prosecution Of profteers; nonpersecution
of legitimate business; protection of
American citizens in every land and
America as a dominate influence for good
in the world.
SPEECH TO
THE COUNTRY.
1T is surprising" said McAdoo's
friend, whose name was withheld at his
own request, "how nearly everybody
overlooked that speech-for that is what
1t was. A speech by wire, not TO the
democrats at the rally, but to the mil
lions of voters scattered throughout the
land
McAdoo's absence from the Jackson
day dinners was considered by the
same authority as masterful politics.
Another thing" he added. although
McAdoo had too much business on hand
week ago to shift date and be present
at the Jackson day rally, he and Barney
Baruch left Washington day before yes
terday for the south, where they are
squeezing a few days Of shooting. Some
of these shots, l venture to predict.
will carry so far that the seventy mile
efforts of the big Bertha firing on Paris
will be made to resemble the puny do
ings Of puny paper cap pistol"

SIGNS RESOLUTION
WITH TEN PENS.


Although Gov. Goodrich had repeatedly
made the statement that it would not be
necessary for him to sign the ratihca-
ton resolution, he affixed his signature
to 1t at the request Of suffragists. He
used ten pens which he distributed
among the women.
Efforts were made following the rati-
hcation OF the suffrage amendment to
prolong the session and to take up other
measures. These efforts were made in
the senate and became the subject of
long discussions, while the house marked
time waiting for the consent Of the
senate to adjourn.
Following his avowed intention Lieut.
Gov. Bush proceeded with the regular
order of business until an adjournment
was forced. Following the passage OF
the bill appropriating $4,000 to pay the
expenses OF the session, the lieutenant
governor ordered the secretary to pro-
ced with a roll call for the introduce
ton of bills.
When the name Of Senator Cravens of
Madison was reached on this roll call
he attempted to introduce a bill pro-
viding for the appointment of a com
mission to purchase land and erect a
memorial building which would house
the headquarters of the American legion.
