WARD TENDER
MADE COUNTY
BY DR.. MORGAN
City Health Board Secretary
Advances Measure for
Better Cure of Insane.

The first steps in a movement to cor
rect the ancient and unsatisfactory sys-
TEN OF sending many insane patients 70
jail before they are committed TO an
insane institution. were under considera-
tion today by the board OF county conf
missioners following q visit Of Or. Her
man G. Morgan, secretary of the city
board of public health.
Dr.. Morgan rendered to the county
sufficient space in one of the wings Of
4 building at the city hospital for the
establishment of a psychopathic ward.
where all patients suffering with mental
ailments can be scientifically and cor
rectly diagnosed by experts before be-
ing committed either to Julietta Insane
Asylum or the Central Indiana Hospital
for the Insane.
The cost Of equlpping and maintaining
such a ward was roughly estimated at
from S15, 900 to S200o0 a year. The three
county commissioners stated that they
favored the plan Of DR.. Morgan because
it prevented insane patients being taken
TO the Jail.
ESTIMATE TO GO
BEFORE COUNCIL.
County Auditor Leo X. Fesler asked
DR. Morgan to prepare a written estimate
Of the cost Of equipping the ward and
tie cost per year so the auditor could
transmit the figures TO the eonnty couneils
at the next meeting.
Mr.. Fesler stated that he was sure the
members Of the county council would IA
vorably consider the proposed plan be-
cause the councilmen had previously de-
plored the system Of sending insane pa
tients to jail prior to being committed
to an insane institution.
President Carlin Shank Of the board
Of commissioners stated that II was his
opinion the Legislature should change
the legal procedure OF declaring a person
insane. Under the present system all
proceedings are held before justices of the
peace and Mr.. Shank cOntended that all
sanity hearings should be heard by ex-
perts.
He pointed out that the Central Hos
pital for the Insane was overcrowded
8nd showed that Marion County had ex-
ceeded the quota permitted to enter this
institution.
MUST PROVIDE
FOR 600 YEAR
Mr.. Fesler said that II the psychopathic
ward is established II must be large
enough to handle on an average of 800
cases a year. He stated that last year
nearly seventy live cases of insanity came
from other counties by the patient NOV
ing to this county.
DR.. Morgan pointed ont the advantages
Of a psychopathic ward along the lines
that it would aid in reclaiming people
suffering with temporary mental break
down. The big advantage of such a
ward lies in the opportunity Of sfrording
a scientific and correct diagnosis Of all
insane cases, he said.
Commissioners Lewis George and Harry
D. Tutewiler said they favored any plan
which would eliminate the sending OF
insane patients TO the county jail.
Indications are that the county com
missioners and members Of the county
council will give serious consideration to
the offer Of Dr. Morgan as soon as an
estimate of the yearly expense of a
psychopathic ward is prepared.

USE CORN AS FUEL
Grain Selling at Thirty-two Cents
Cheaper Than Sixteen Dollars
Ton For Coal.

Washington, Nov. 8.-Corn at 80
cents a bushel is equal in value to
coal at SIG ton, Secretary Wallace
said today, commenting on reports
that some farmers were burning corn
for fuel. At 20 cents bushel, he
said, corn would be equivalent to
fuel coal at $40 a ton.
"In districts where corn is very
cheap now the coal is of rather poor
grades and is selling at high prices,
he continued. "Under such condi-
ions it will pay both farmers and
people in the country towns to use
corn instead of coal. Undoubtedly
large quantities of corn will be burn
ed on Western farms this week unless
The price should materially advance" d"
Mr.. Wallace said the use of surplus
grain as fuel in times of low market
ability was not an uncommon occur
renee in other cereal raising coun-
tries, corn having been burned in
Argentina under such conditions,
mot only on the farms, but in the
power plants"

FOUR PERSONS DIE
FROM POISONED WATER
Carolina Planter Critically Ill As
Result of Dring Foul Water.
Motive is Mystery.

Augusta, Ca, Nov. 8.-The death
last night of Mrs. j. w. Lee, wife of
a well-known planter of near Beldoc,
Barnwell county, South Carolina, was
the fourth to have occurred in the
family within the last week as a re-
suit of an alleged poisoned we'll on
the farm, it became known here to-
day. Mr.. Lee is in critical condition,
but may recover.
Three small daughters of the Lees,
the oldest of whom was six, died
last Tuesday afternoon, a few hours
after drinking water from the we'll.
The children were Mary, Velma and
Elma, aged six, four and two, res
pectively. The youngest child, ten
months-old baby, was the only mem
Der of the family not to drink of the
water.
The mystery surrounding the poi
soning of the water has not been
cleared up, according to information
from Beldoc today. The we'll had
been used by the family for years.
Details as to the nature Of the poi
son could not be obtained.
The Lee family, with the exception
of the baby became suddenly and
violently i'll last Tuesday morning af-
ter drinking water from the we'll.
The poison evidently had been put in
the water during the previous night.
The three children died within a few
hours of each other.
Examination of the water showed,
it is said, that it contained deadly
poison. (

FINANCIAL RUIN
FACING GERMANY
DERNBERG OUTLINES PLANS
TO SAVE-FORMER MINISTER
OF FIANCE ALSO SUGGESTS
CREDIT EXTENSION FOR THE
ALLIES.

Berlin, Nov. 9.-Dr. Bernhard
Dernburg, who has held the post of
finance minister, discusses the Ger
man economic situation in The Tage-
blatt and outlines a plan which, he
declares, is the only way to save Ger
many from financial ruin and "the
rest of the world from slavery and
business instability" His plan en-
braces the following points:
First. That the United States grant
the entente powers additional time
on it's credits and advance loans to
central powers for the purchase of
raw materials.
Second. The declaration of a ten
year moratorium on German repara-
tions.
Third. Arrangement of Germany's
internal financial problems.
Fourth. Protection of German
money held in foreign countries.
Fifth. Immediate reduction of the
cost of occupation of German terri
tory.
Sixth. Expert examination of Ger
many's ability to pay and the estab-
lishment of her rights under Article
234 of the peace treaty.
The stabilization of the mark is i'm
possible, says DR.. Dernburg, so long
as Preparations are being paid by
printing presses" He estimates that
taxes in Germany amount to $4,000
marks yearly per family, of which
5000 is for internal expenses.

can Indian chiefs, each tribal hero,

decoration by Commissioner of Indian
Affairs Burke, because of their prom
inence in the history of the West.

and has fought American soldiers.
They will be dressed in full warrior
regalia.
The coup stick, pronounced "koo"
is several feet long and was carried
by warriors who considered it a
brave deed to touch an enemy during
fight. When a warrior died he cut
notch in the stick or attached to it
an eagle feather.
The war bonnet was regarded by
the warrior as the most important ar
ticle of his regalia, and only proven
braves were allowed to wear one. The
long plume was made from eagle
feathers. Consent of the tribe had to
be obtained to make a war bonnet
and the making was an occasion TOR
much ceremony. including singing
and harangues. Each time a feather
was laid in place the chief recounted
the particular deed it represented. A
perfect "tail' consisted of II feathers
with white plumes and black tips.
