minded man or woman TO show me
how the above can be done under
! the decreased appropriation when
the trustees were not able to meet
all their expenses for the present
year, with the appropriation grant
ed them this year. 100000.
Several weeks ago every news
paper in our city carried not only
in their news columns, but also on
their editorial pages, articles call
ing attention to the fire hazards at
the present Poor House, and the
Levy Court asked such men as
Charles C. Kurtz, Frederick CAV
throp, Benjamin +. Shaw and the
consulting engineer, Mr.. Schoen-
Jahan, to meet with them (the Levy
Court, before the reformers took
charge) and discuss means and
plans for the elimination Of the
said fire hazards at the Poor House,
which they kindly consented TO do.
I'VE also consulted with the chief,
the assistant chiefs and the fire
marshal Of the Wilmington Fire
Department, and they and the above
named gentlemen were of the unani-
nous opinion that the Poor House,
in regards to the danger Of fire. was
in a deplorable condition, and that !
steps should be taken Immediately |
to remedy such conditions. The |
Levy Court. feeling that they were |
the responsible parties, took prelimi- |
nary steps to carry out these sug
gestions. Mr.. Schoenjahan. the en-
gineer, submitted the cost OF the |
changes to the Levy
Court through the Trustees OF the
Poor. Feeling that We would not
have money enough TO do all of the
things suggested by the engineer
he again submitted revised plan,
including a fire line around the
building and a standpipe in the
building with the necessary outlets

ever wished to install the same.

ONLY $4,000 FOR
CITY HOSPITALS
Levy Court Cuts $4,000
Off Appropriation This
Year
REFORM BUDGET"
DRAWS SARCASM

The Levy Court yesterday after
noon adopted the tentative bulge
| considered last week without making
any changes. The budget was dis
cussed by the Commissioners in pri-
vate prior to the morning session OF
the court and at a conference with
representative OF the city hospitals
who requested that the budget be
amended so that they could be al
lowed the same sum of money as
last year, a total of $4,000. The
court refused to change the budget
which appropriates $4,000 to each of
the three hospitals. or a total of
$4,000.
The hospitals sent a letter to the
court which was read at the confer
ence. This set forth that despite the
appropriation of $4,000 last year.
the hospitals had a deficit of sI2,-
600. This meant, according TO the
hospital officials, that the institu-
tions would be compelled to take
care OF a limited number OF free
patients this year.
AT this conference. Commissioner
Ball of Brandywine hundred, read a
letter which he thought was a re-
ply to an article that appeared in a
Sunday newspaper praising the BIZ
partisan combination of the court.
The letter follows:
II would like to state that they (the
bipartisan combination) are welcome

only done something which they
think has fooled the public, but
they will find out that the public
is not so easily fooled nowadays.
First: Take into consideration

their homes and the hospital Is the
only recourse. They, the reformers.

hospitals from $4,000 to $4,000,

"Yes, but take into consideration |
that these same reformers have also !
cut the appropriation for the Trus-
tees of the Poor far below the past |
years amount and you can readily |
see that the Trustees OF the Poor |
will be unable TO assume any fur |

HUNTINGTON. Ind. Nov. 17.--Al-
though posses from Huntington, Bluff
ton and Marion were still searching
today for Thomas T. Clark, Hunting
ton County farmer, who killed his wife
and small son Wednesday night. the
hunt was no nearer success this after
noon than 1T was at the start.
The opinion was expressed by mem
bers Of the posses and officials that
Clark has committed suicide and that
his body may be found in the creek
bottoms through which the hunt has
been conducted.
Officials We're told that a man an.
swering the description OF Clark and
carrying a yellow suitcase had asked
the way to Marion. The man was
walking down a country road. No
further trace Of this man was found.
Another Posse Joins Search
The second posse, consisting of 200
men, left Marion at s a. m. today. 1t
was led by the Marion police depart
nent
Information reached the sheriff yes
terday during the chase that Clark
had been seen several times. This in
formation, however. was not based
on facts that made the sheriff believe
ne was on the wrong track. He was
said to have been seen eating In q
restaurant at JEFF. near here.
Tracks Along Creek
The posse believed they had the
alleged slayer cornered In a field after
they had followed fresh tracks which
they believed were those made by
Clark. for nearly two hours. These
tracks led along a creek bottom and
into a large cornfcld. Although the
tracks took the searching party into
the field and a careful search was
made of tbs shocks of corn. no tracks
could be found leading out from the
field.
Clark recently was released from
tho Eastern Indiana Hospital for the
Insane at Richmond. Members OF the
family say that he had acted Queerly
since he returned home. although they
believed he was cured They assert
that several times he had falsely 40
cused Mrs. Clark.
