EOSSENE NOTES

A week ago last Monday at recess
in the afternoon, Mr.. Tuck dismissed
the entire school on account of the
water supply being exhausted. The
old pump wore out and no water was
to be had. There was no more school
that week, but by last Monday a new
pump had been installed and everyone
was back with his sleeves rolled up.
The school interest is better than it
has ever been in our school and the
attendance is gradually increasing.

During the week there was no school
here, three of the teachers went on a
pleasure trip to Beaumont, Port Ar
thur,and Galveston. They were the
Misses Stone and HanIey and Mrs.
Fuller. A splendid trip was reported.

Last Monday afternoon, as the
north-bound transfer was going home,
Charlie Haight and Others were run
ming along by the side of the truck
jumping off and on, when Charlie
missed his step and fell in the track
OF the rear wheel. Both legs were run
over and one was broken in two pIac-
es.. He was hurried home and the
leg was set and bandaged by the doc
tor. He is getting along nicely now,
but it will be several weeks before he
will be back in school. This should
be lesson to all transfer children to
stay inside the truck.

MISSING CHILD

Woman Who Lived Across
Street, Throat Slashed,
Dead in Bed.
BODY HACKED TO PIECES

CHICAGO, Dec. Margaret Coughlin,
3, missing from her home since 2:30
o'clock yesterday afternoon. was found
brutally murdered today in the basement
of the home Of Mrs. Ralph Pence-a
neighbor living across the street at 1925
North Ayers avenue The child was de-
capitated and her little body hacked to
pieces.
Mrs. Pence, her throat s1ashed, was
found dead In bed in a room off the din
ing room on the first floor.
An all-steeI bread knife covered with
blood lay on the noor. The right hand
Of the dead woman hung over the side OF
the bed, directly above the crimson knife.
1t was one of the most horrifying
crimes in Chicago police annals.
The theory Immediately was advanced
by the police that Mrs. Pence, said to
have acted oddly for some time, went
insane, hacked the child with the bread
knife, and then killed herself.
The dlsmembered legs and one arm of
the Coughlin baby wrapped in a blood
stained newspaper were found shoulder
ing on top Of the basement laundry stove
in which a fire was burning. The head,
one Of the arms and the mutilated torso.
were crAlntue0 into TN WdblDOlteE
which had been placed on the basement
gas stove. The gas was not lighted. The
cover had been forced down tightly on
the boiler. Several pieces Of black cloth
protruded from under the lid.
Mrs Pence's husband, n carpenter had
gone to work and their two children,
Dolly and Josephine, were at school when
the bodies were found shortly before 10
a. m.

when the mutilated body Of his daugh.
ter was found.
When a policeman opened the bundle
and the legs and one of the arms Of the
baby rolled out on the cement floor the
father covered his face with his hands
"Oh. Cod" he said, who could butcher
an innocent little baby like this? God
help her mother TO bear up under such a
thing"
The slain childs mother who had been
searching for her baby for hours stood
across the street in the rain, a pathetic
figure, her hands above her eyes, as she
strained them to look over at the house
of death
A policeman gently broke the news to
the mother. she sank to the sidewalk.
Later her screams could 6s heard a
block away. She was reported in a
dangerous condition.

President Knows Spirit

Fate. Of Past Treaties

Influence.
Special to Indiana Daily Times
and PhiladeIphia Publlc Ledger.
BY COL. EDWARD M. HOUS


PHILADELPHIA, Dec. Last
winter, Senator Penrose, with blunt
directness, said it did not much mat
ter who became Secretary Of State
for the Senate would direct the for
eign policies of the United States.
Whether this was a prophetic fore
cast remains to be determined after
the disarmament conference has fin
ished its labors. Meanwhile, the
consideration being given the Sen
ate impresses the observer as one Of
the outstanding features Of the con-
ference. No one can remain in
Washington for any length of time
without being conscious that in the
minds Of both the foreign and Amer
ican delegates the Senate looms
large in the background, and there
is a constant threat of it lowering
over the scene.
This feeling is not caused by any ac-
ton which the Senate has taken or by
anything which recently has been said
u any Of the members other than Mr..
Borah but it is the memory of what that
body has done in the past that is hav-
ing Its influence today
What the President and the American
delegates would like to do and what
they actually will try to do are two
different things. No one knows the
temper Of the Senate better than the
President, and 1t viii be interesting to see
how a former Senator will act after as
suming the duties OF the executive.
The treaty making powers Of the Presi-
dent are so wide that It Is difficult for
him always to keep IN mind his limi-
tations set by the Constitution. He has
the right 10 make any kind OF treaty. and
In any way which seems to him best. His
only Limitation in carrying out a foreign
policy is the Senates right to reject his
work after IL Is presented to the Senators
for their consideration. If the Senate
should change a treaty or an agreement
which the executive may send to them
and unanimously pass II in the changed
form. the President can pigeonhole the
document and not enforce 1t. But the
fact that the Senate has the prerogatiye

entered pleas of not guilty? However,
eight of these latter were found guilty
by the jury yesterday in the South Bend

CASES INTERLOCKING
IN CHARACTER.
Because Of the interlocking character of
the two cases, twelve defendants appear
ing in both cases, Judge Anderson de-
cided to take up the matter OF imposing
sentence in both cases at the same time.
The seven defendants who will be tried
Tuesday are: John Demus, Peter Manos,
John Maculski, Joe Vardo Stephen Crabb,
Joseph Czigany, all of South Bend, and
