GRAND JURY WILL PROBE
STRANGE MURDER CASE

for the Kosciusko county grand jury
to make an investigation into the
death Of Leroy Lovett. in connection

c. B. Moon. after a conference with
Judge K ". Royse and Prosecuting
Attorney Henry w. Graham last
night, announced the grand jury
would be called Immediately to probe
the mystery.
Decker was questioned at length
by the authorities last night. How
ever. he still maintained his inno-
cence of any connection with tho
death Of Lovett. Sheriff Moon said:
The funeral OF Lovett will be held
this afternoon in Elkhart. Ind.

BILE for the person who Is beneved
to have slain Lovett to have carried
out all the efforts which were made
to cover up the crime. These included
the changing Of the clothes Of the
murdered boy. the placing OF a buggy
on the railroad tracks near Atwood.
Ind, and attempts to make 1t appear
that I1ovett was fatally injured when
a train hit the buggy.
No new motives for the crime have
been uncovered. Those already ad-

policies taken out by Virgil Decker
through false Identification OF the

PICK PAL IN CHINA
FOR DAY, ,|SSL0GAN
Novel Famine Aid Movement
Is Started by Committee
for Relief.

The money spent for pair Of the
ater tickets at current New York
prices would feed an entire village In
the famine-stricken area Of China for
one day.
This fact is emphasized by the
American committee for China famine
fund. Thomas w. Lamont. national
chairman, in an appeal to the state
committees to enlist them in novel
famine relief movement. the slogan
of which is Pick pal in China for
day"
The idea is to appeal to each Amer
ican boy, girl. man and woman to
make a contribution equivalent to the
sum spent in one day on themselves.
their friends or acquaintances. The
young man who treats himself or
cents, will. If he enters into the spirit
Of the China friendship movement.
give the same sum to the China
famine fund, and py that gift save
the life Of one person for one week.
child buying a stick of candy for
penny will contribute a second cent
for his Chinese pal. There is some
thing of sportsma nship in the plan not
hitherto punctuating American charity.
At Critical Stage.
Recent cab,egrams from China indi-
eating that the famine has reached
critical stage have spurred the natlonal
and state committees to no" efforts.
and reports have been received from
the affected districts showing that
thousands OF Chinese are alive and
courageously facing the future only be-
cause Of the help they have received
from America.
Summarizing the work thus far ac-
complished, Chairman Lamont has Is
sued the following statement:
sSThe resnonse for the starving mil
lions in China has been generous but
unless relief arrives continuously and
in increasing quantities tnd victims
saved at the end Of the spring Will be
too weak to plant and harvest and thus
support themselves in the future
months.
No Figure Is Set.
"The committee does not set figure
to be raised, but presents to the Amer
ican people a statement Of the situa-
tion. The committee will transmit as
much as the American people will
give and through channels assuring
the maximum of relief The expense
of elaborate organization has been
eliminated and the greatest possible
amount Of relief will reach the famine
victims in the shortest possible time
out Of every contribution made.
Every American can help the Chi
nese famine sufferers without Sacri-
hce to himself If he cares to. for 3
cents will save a Chinese life for one
day. No American is SO poor that he
cannot save human life at this, the
