Another $1,000
Makes Attorneys Total Fees
From Special State
Board $1,000.

James w. Noel, attorney for the spe-
cial coal and food commission, today
drew another $1,000 for his services as
attorney for the commission. This makes
total Of $11, 900 drawn by Mr.. Noel for
this service between the time the COM
mission was organized last summer and
March 81.
The additional sum drawn by Mr.. Noel
brings the total attorneys fees paid by
the commission during its short exist
ance up to S1S,500. Howard Young,
another attorney for the commission, has

der the coal commission law.
The State treasury has received from
the commission approximately $4,000,
the amount left over from the money col
lected for the administration Of the
law" The commission spent a total Of
about $37 600.
The money raised by the commission
was obtained from license fees collected
from the operators, the jobbers and the
retailers. In addition, the commission col
lected l cent on each ton of coal mined
in the State. This latter fund amounted
to nearly 100000.
The charges made against coal dealers
and operators were, of course, passed on
to the public. The commission began Op-
Grating shortly before a break in coal
prices began. The charges passed on to
the public by the dealers did much to

commission went out Of existence the

LAW is FARCE,
CITY GARBAGE
PROBLEM SHOWS
Reduction Plant Failure Due
to Mayors Neglect, Facts
Reveal.
NO RESTRICTION ASKED

For more than year Mayor
Charles w. Jewett and his board OF
sanitary commissioners nave peen
explaining the operation at loss OF
the city's white elephant-the S175,.
900 garbage reduction plant-by say
ing that private collectors of garbage
took SO much of the city's refuse that
there was not enough left for the
city's plant to be run at alprofit, not
withstanding there was an ordinance
upon the statute books which would
have made it possible to have so
crippled the activities of the private
collectors that they could not have
made serious inroads upon the city's
collection.
These facts were brought to light to-
day when it was learned that the board
of sanitary commissioners, in a meeting g
yesterday, had decided to write to four
private collectors, holding city licenses,
and ask them for lists Of the places they
collect from. The move was considered
to a movement Of the board
to finally awaken and start a drive to
eliminate the private collectors.
ANTS BLAMED
FOR FAIURE.
Mayor Jewett has insisted repeatedly
that the garbage plant operation was
because the anti-administrati ton
Of the city council have blocked
passage of an ordinance giving the city

However, the council on Feb. 3, 1919,
passed an ordinance with such teeth in
II that had 1t been enforced many of the
private collectors would have been driven
out Of business.
The measure is general ordinance No
S Of 1919. 1t was passed as a substitute
for measure prepared by the city legal
department. The legal department ordi-
nance overlooked the fact that there is
right in garbage, while the
measure passed does not.
HERE Is THE
ORDINANCE.
Section Of this ordinance reads as
follows:
THAT any person, firm or corporation
desiring to collect or remove garbage
may, upon payment of fifty dollars

Catch that the dogs received by the
college "are generally emaciated and
in a condition that shows they are no

1t has also teen admitted by persons
connected with the college that the
arrangements by which this negro
gathered dogs for the college were
terminated because both the negro and
the college got scared"
The college authorities have stead
fastly refused to reveal the name of this
negro or to make any authoritative state
ment as to the number Of dogs he de-
livered or as to where he obtained them.
DR.. Catch admitted that no permanent
record Of the dogs was made by the
college and said arrangements for them
were made through Robert K. Neff,
registrar of the college. Mr. Neff de-
clared that none of the dogs received
were known to have come from In
dianapolis since this negro ceased to
furnish them. He admitted, however,
the possibility that some Of the dogs
received through this negro have been
dogs that were stolen in indianapolis.

PLEA
BY BLEIWEISS
Man, Seeking Clemency Be
fore He Starts Term, Calls
on Governor.

Morris Bleiweiss, who has ESCAPED
punishment on a charge Of assault and
battery, resulting from an automobile
accident in which one man was killed
and one injured, for three years. and
whose case is before the pardon, boa.Ad
was caller at the office Of Governok.
Warren I. McCray today, cOnferring with
the Governor for nearly an hour With
MIN was Adolph Seidenstioker, president
OF the pardon board, and Bernard e.
Grifey, who appeared before the pardon
board in behalf of Bleiweiss and who is
said to be closely connected with the
administration.
Bleiweiss is the man who told the par
don board three weeks ago that he did
not wish to serve his thirty-d day Jail
sentence because 1t would be incon-
venient to him and embarrassing to his
family. He was sentenced In the Ma
rion County Criminal Court May 3. 1917.
Bleiweiss told the board that the acci-
dent which resulted in his sentence could
not have been avoided, but he admitted
he was speeding
The delay in the case was caused by
an appeal to the Supreme Coutc ana later
ninety day reprieye granted by former
Governor James P. Goodrich for bust
ness reasons"
When the case was before the pardon
board members of the board expressed
surprise that Bleiweiss was not charged
with manslaughter instead Of assault and

cident died.

RATS SPRINT
FOR BENEFIT
OF HUMANITY
InterStittal Gland Operations
GiUen NeLU Test at San
Quentin Prison.

SAN FRANCISCO. April "A race for
the human race.
Such might be termed the scientific test
In which seven white rats are engaged
behind the grim walls Of San Quentin
Prisen.
Day after day and night after night
these white rats have been racing IN spe-
cially constructed cages, eacR revolution
Of the floors Of their ges being recorded
by the delicate speedometer apparatus
Soon the rats will be taken from their
cages and will undergo operations
through which each will acquire new
gland-an operation similar In every re-
spect to the interstitial or goat gland
operations which have brought reported
rejuyenation to those of the human race
who have risked the operation in search
OF renewed youth.
When the operation incisions have
healed, the seven rats will return to their
cages and begin again their race. And
In the comparison of their strength and
endurance before and after the operation
win the answer to many questions which
have arisen in connection with the
glandular operations
The rats are running their races In a
barren room back of the prison hospital
under the watchful eye Of DR. l.. L.
Stanley. prison physician, who has per
formed more than 200 gland operations
on convicts.- transferring human glands
rather than monkey and goat glands, as
has been the case with other surgeons.
Here are the questions which the re-
markable test now under way are ex-
pected to answer
l. Can rat with an interstitial opera
tion run farther and longer than with
out.
2. How long is the newly installed
energy effective?
3. What is the effect upon the rat after
the energy begins to wane, If it does
wane?
4, Whether all or what percentage Of
the rats show beneficial results.
The test win also show the results of
various types of operations. One or
more will receive a single glandular In
sertion. Others will receive the double
operation. One will have a portion Of
a human gland added to his organs. to
indicate what difference there is between
the human and the goat gland opera
lions.
The preliminary tests have been under
way for months and the tests following
the operations will likewise occupy
months and perhaps years.

Skip Stop Order
May Be Included

An order for. the installation of tns
skip-stop system in the operation of cars
is very likely to be included in the or
der of the public service commission in
ereasing the rates of the Indianapolis
Street Railway Company, according to
indications at the Statehouse today.
Joseph A. MCGOWAN, secretary and
treasurer of the company, had long con-
ference with Ernest l. Lewis. chairman
of the commission. He presented Mr.
Lewis with detailed figures showing the
company would save $4,000 a year
through the operation of the skip-stop
system.
The order in the street railway case is
expected to be issued early next week.

NEGRO WAS DOG tSEASONER'
Picked Them Up and Kept Them for Time
COILEGE tSCARED;' SO IS he

Further investigation into the methods
employed by the Indiana University
School OF Medicine in dealing with dogs
for dissection in It's classes reveals:
/. That dogs for the use Of the
college have been collected Off the
streets of indianapolis as well as in
other cities of the state.
2 That dogs have been subjected
to experiments in the realm OF surg
cry as well as to operations the pur-
pose Of which was instruction OF
students.
g. That more than a year ago a
protest was made to DR.. e. Z. Emer-
son, dean Of the college, and as
surances were given by the dean that
there would be no more Of the prac-
tees which have recently been estab-
lished as occurring in the last few
months.
Only a few weeks ago a negro who
lives in the northwest part of In
was engaged in securing dogs
for the use Of the college. His prac-
tiee was to pick up dogs on the streets
and take them TO his home where he
kept them for a period before delivering
them to the college. There is a wide
variation in regard to the number OF
dogs he is reported to have delivered
to the college. 1t has been admitted
however, by an attachee of the college
that at least fifteen dogs were obtained
through this negro.
IN A MANNER
GAVE PROTECTION.
In thus procuring dogs, the college
was, in a measure, protected from any
criticism that might come from persons
who had lost pet dogs. The animals
were not delivered at once to the college

Delay in passing Judgment upon
Garland Brown and P. L. Prather
charged with stealing coal, who are EN-.
ployes at the State House under Roscoe

to determine II Schultz has mo bad feel
ings' against the two men, as the de-
PENDANTS claim.

Court completed lite evidence against the
two men and the defendants took the
stand in their own behalf The defense
was that they were delivering coal for
Custodian Schultz, who had bought q
carload Of coal last December, and which
he sold to the janitors Of the State
House.
Brown and Prather attempted to show
that they were under the influence OF
white mule and didn't know just what
they were doing. Officers making the ar
rest testified Brown and Prather were not
intoxicated" at the time they were ar.
rested after dumping the coal In front
of a coal office, where the State showed
that arrangements had been made to sell
1t for SIS.
The evidence introduced by the State
showed that Brown and Prather were
using a State truck at the time they
were arrested.
Brown and Prather contended that "AIr
Schultz had no Ill feeling" toward them
and that the money loss to him has been
made good.

could be brought into court to determine
the degree of his personal temperature at
this time toward two men who claim
they are still employed at the State
house.

at the Statehouse took the stand and
testified regarding the good reputation
Of Brown and Prather. 1t is also under
stood Mr. Kramer has been active around
the courthouse In the Interest" of Pra-
ther and Brown.
As the cases now stand, Brown and
Prather will not know their fate until
Custodian Schultz can be brought into
court to determine If his feelings are
nice and sweet toward the men who are
convicted in the city court Of stealing
coal
In the city court Brown and Prather
were fined 81 and costs and sentenced to
forty days, Judge Collins stated
