INDIANA WRECKS'
 FR|CHTFUL TOLL
Death List Has Reached 43 and Many of the Bodies are Mangled Be yond RecOgnition-Id -Identifca-
 tion May Take Days.


 Porter, Ind, Feb. 28.-The last body tonight was believed to have been removed from the debris of the wreck last night, when a New York Central train cut in two a Michigan Central fiier at the intersection of the two lines here, but Identification of the dead still was progressing slowly.
 The official list of dead tonight stood at 43, but little more than a score of these had been identified positively
 Seven or eight of the bodies may never be identified. The wreck left them in such condition they could not be recognized.
 Only one part of the debris re- mained to be searched tomorrow-the twisted broken hulk of the New York Central engine which tore thru the wooden Michigan Central passenger coach with such force that it was bur jed several feet in the soft earth.
 This has been partly undermined, however, and it was thought that all of the bodies had been recovered.
 Tonight forty-one of the dead had been taken to the little furniture store morgue in Chesterton, one mile away, and the other two had been re- moved to Michigan City, Ind.
 Only half dozen bodies had been taken from the Chesterton morgue. the slow Identification probably being responsible for failure of relatives to call for them.

Found Relief in Mena.

That 1t isn't necessary to go to larg- CT cities for hospital treatment is the belief of Neil Williams, who came o Mena Sunday and took his wife back to their home near Rocky. Mrs. Will Hams needed the services of hospital experts and her husband was about to arrange for trip to Texarkana, when he learned Miss Bridget Clancy was 2 resident of Mena. Williams was some years ago foreman of the famous "101" ranch in Oklahoma and knew of Miss Clancy's ability as nurse in that state. Instead of going to the heavy expense of leaving home MT. Williams arranged with Miss Clancy to have an operation performed at her home on Jones street and leave his wife there until recovered. Before leaving Sunday the Rocky folks ex- pressed their gratitude for the slSilfull treatment they had received from both nurse and physician while in Mena.

Wreck Inquest postponed.

Chesterton. Ind. Feb. 2S.-An inn mediate inquest into the death of the forty or more persons killed in last nights wreck will not be held, Dr. H. 0. Seipel, of Valparaiso, Porter coun- ty coroner, said today Most of the bodies have been brought here.
 Dr. Seipel said the mutilated con dition of the bodies meant that it might be days or even weeks before a large majority could be identified and that he felt that this work must be finished first.
 With forty bodies recovered" he said, I've have positively identified cnly fifteen here. Only one or two have been embalmed
 "We will get into the inquest as scoa rs possible, but we can't leave the parts of bodies piled upon the track side and tied in bundles there to start in inquest"
 The morgue, in the back of the com blnation furniture store and under taking establishment, was crowded be- yond it's capacity. The cellar was pressed into service for unidentified bodies.
 The furniture stock was moved to the front of the store to make room for the bodies. All day long men and women and even little children ot times filed thru the piled up tables seeking some missing relative.
 The husband of Mrs. Florence See collapsed when he viewed the bodies If his wife and adopted daughter, Pearl Cavanaugh. The body of Mrs. See, slender girl. who was noted in her home town, Michigan City, Ind, for her beauty, had been mangled so it hardly was recognizable.
 While the crowds cIung to the scene, the last gruesome relics were being cleaned up More might come tonight, said the workers, but on the surface nothing remained except wrecked machinery and splintered wood. The cleanup proceeds rapidly.

VERDICT WAS NOT GUILTY"
But Jury Expressed Us Feelings in Controversy Between Physicians.


 Controversy Between Physicians.
 Dr. w. c. Vandiver. county health officer, won verdict and a critscism, following his arraignment before Jus tiee s. If. Smith Tuesday morning on a charge of interfering with the work of Dr. J. G. Hilton, city health officer.
 The eleven Mena smen who heard the testimony, agreed upon the fol lowing verdict:
 "We, the jury, find the defendant
 not guilty as charged; but we
 would suggest in the future that
 there be more cooperation between
 the city and county health officers,
 and would further criticize Dr. Van
 diver for taking down a flag that
 was ordered put up by the city
 health officer, which action might
 have endangered the health of the
 people,"
 The jury was composed of w. E. Watkins, foreman, w. E. Holt, " w. St. John, s. l. Wood, Fl. E. Manning, ]. H. Hamilton, J. E. Goss, J. c. Law renee, Curt Shields, W. A Wilson and L. s. Watson.
 The case was hotly contested. As sistant Prosecuting Attorney B. J. Stuart, represented the state, which is in this case was a city official, and Col. Pole McPhetrige represented the defendant, Dr. Vandiver. The suit involved the quarantine of the home of Bert Linam last month. Dr.. Hilton, as city health officer, quaran- denied the correctness of the diag- nosed as smallpox. Dr. Vandiver denied the correctness of the diog- nosis and had the quarantine sign talk en down.
 Evidence was offered by different Mena physicians to show that not all of them agreed as to the diagnosis of the disease. Dr. Vandiver had two to corroborate him. while Dr. Hilton pro- duced one. It was also shown that at the time Dr. Hilton placed the first quarantine flag in place he was not actually city health officer and did not officially take office until later. It was also shown that the quarantine warning regulations were not used in strict compliance with the law. Another fact demonstrated is that Dr. Vandiver is the official county health officer even tho he doesn't get the cus- tnmary yearly payment for services.
 After hearing all the pros and cons of the controversy the jurymen rem dered a verdict that seemed to satisfy the demands of the case as well as probably meet the ideas If the big of interested citizens who went to tAe court House to hear the trial.

 a Lost Dog.

Star wants adds not only reach far out but they also reach honest and law abiding people Here's story of how a little ad in the classified col umn reached out 400 miles and found the kind of man Diogones once sought. Charles Bates of Mena missed a valu- able hound and advertised the canine as lost, strayed or stolen. This week he received letter from man at Arnett, Ok, stating that he had seen the ad in The Star and believed he had Bates dog.

 cription given satisfied Bates that the lost dog had been found The Arnett man also offered to refund the dog in case he was repaid for the amount he was out on the animal. Some men night have kept the dog and said noth- ng, hence the statement that this man is undoubtedly honest.

DIRE THREATS FOR
 HIGHWAY DEPT.
Fifty-six Members of House Sign Pledge That May Mean It's Doom Wrangling Between House and
 Senate Increases.

Little Rock, March l.-Fifty-six members of the house of representa- tives have signed a pledge to refuse to vote for the state highway depart ment bill unless legislature previous to that time has passed bill sending back to the individual counties at least one-half of the auto tax money.
 Representative Holland of Scott county told of the list of pledges to- stick and that the highway depart- ment would be put out of business thru complete lack of finances un- jess the Senate acquiesced in the houses demand for return of the auto tax money to the counties.
 In the meantime, efforts are being made to draw a bill which can be passed in both branches to effect a settlement
 Another proposed settlement of the legislative rows burst this afternoon.
 During the morning Representative Williamson introduced resolution providing that it be the sense Of the mouse and senate that all proposed constitutional amendments now pcnd- ing be adopted by the legislature and sent to the Governor letting the gov- ernor approve one and veto the others. There can be only one submitted by the legislature. The senate has re- fused to adopt amendments proposed by the house, and vica versa.
 The house killed the Williamson resolution this afternoon, and then to show it's feelings for the senate, promptly tabled senate amendment which would have proposed 12-mill tax for road purposes. The house is committed to a proposed amendment providing for taxation of personal property in improvement districts.
 immediately after tabling the sen- ate resolution, the house took on the tabling fever with renewed pressure and sent five senate measures to their death, via the tabling route, in quick succession. One of the senate bills was to change the date of the Demo- cratic primary to the third Wednesday in July. House members charged that Senator Vaughan, author of the bill, was politician and wanted to change the date 70 the busy season of the farmers, and thus prevent farmers from being able to go to the polls and vote.
 The state boiler inspectorship row broke out anew in the house this morning when demand was made that the inspector had inspected boilers which he had never seen, made it's report. The committee asked until tomorrow to report, and nfter a hot row. the house sustained the commit tees plea.
 The house judiciary committee today made an adverse report on the admin istration bill for state purchasing agent, recommending that it be de- feated.

FEDERAL FARM
 LOAN IS VALID
Supreme Tribunal Approves Act Un- der Which Farmers Will Get Money-Millions of Dol
 lars Held Up.

Washington, Feb. 2S.-The fedora ton loan act was held constitutional today by the supreme court. This is the act under which land banks were established to extend loans to farm CTS.
 The act was attacked on the ground that Congress was without constitu- tional authority to establish farm lean banks and to exempt their bonds from reparation. Justice Day, who rendered the opinion for the court, said the power of Congress to estab- hsh banks had in a broad sense been upheld by the supreme court in the oays of Chief Justice Marshall.
 The court in sustaining federal court deerees dusmissing injunction proceedings brought by Mir. Smith, also held that Congress had the au- thority to exempt the bonds of the bankefrom taxation.
 Millions of dollars in loans to far mers have been held up pending a de- cision of the court in this case, which was brought was brought by Charles w. Smith, a stockholder in the Kansas City Title and Trust company, who sought an injunction Io restrain that institution from investing it's funds in bonds issued by the farm loan banks.
 The court divided, to ?, Justice Holmes and McReynolds dissenting. Justice Brandeis took no part in con- sdering the case. Justices Holmes and McReynolds held that the "cause" should have been dismissed by the court as being solely within the scope of the Missouri courts.

 GERMANY TO PAY
Much Military Activity Alcng Rhine Front as Time Approaches for Ac- eeptance of Preparation Terms
 Watch for Inauguration Speech.

Paris, Mar, l.--Great military ac- tivity was noted today along that portion of the Rhine occupied by the French near the Mayence brdgehead. The artillery which has been camped several miles behind the line was brought up, also were long lines of ammunition trucks. while the airplane- camps at B0urget and Villa Coublay began to show activity, commencing at noon today. 1t is reported that the movement of Senegalese, Algerian and Moroccan troops arriving at Mar seilles during the past few days kas greatly increased.
 Marshal Foch is expected to return to Paris from London tomorrow with General Weygand and proceed im- mediately to Mayence, there to await the decision of the London conference. This decision, according to semi-cf- licial information, is not expected in Paris until Friday or Saturday.
 Should the Germans formally de- cline to accept the allied separations demand. everything is said to be in readiness to execute the penalties which were decided on by Premiers Lloyd George and Briand Sunday at Chequers court, altho such penalties must be ratified by Belgium and Italy. whose delegates will have to be called into consultation.
 The greatest secrecy is being main tained as to the nature of these pen alties and concerning the military movements, but the Associated Press learns on good authority that great naval demonstration by the British has been decided on at Kiel, Hamburg and Bremen, while the French troops will operate on land
 The Ruhf region, it is said, prob- ably will not be occupied, as the French desire to demonstrate that any movement taken by them is not directed by the German pr6ietariat, but against the reactionary national ists and ilnperialists.
 The concensus of opinion in parlia- mentary circles is that no decision will be taken until the London con- terence is aware of the contents of the inauguration speech O President Harding as French delegates are de- sirous of showing the United States that everything possible has been done to avoid stern measures and also that they desire to have the moral support of American public opinion, should q move forward into the in- terior of Germany become necessary.
