THAN SO Per CENT
nv Associated Pressl

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct 19.-Arson Oh
Indiana farms has been reduced more
than so per cent during the last five
years, it is revealed by records OF
Newman T. Miller, state fire marshal.
In 1915 the number of incendiary hres
on Hoosier farms was So while last
year only % incendiary fires occurred
on farms in the state. This marked
reduction in farm arson, places lndl-
ana high in the list of states and adds
laurels, for already Indiana has a
record of nine out of every 10 persons
tried for arson being convicted.
Losses by incendiary fires in 1915
totaled s76,404, while last year with
valuations much higher correspond
ingly, the losses were only $33,SI9
Clipping the wings of the firebugs on
Indiana farms has largely been due
to the activity of the state fire mar
