Senator H. S. New Endorsed
By Washington Man Who
Calls BeVeridge POscur

Indiana soldiers of the civil war
and widows of soldiers of that war
have received a letter from Jonn
McElroy, president Of the National
Tribune. published at washington
d. C.. in which he recommends the
reelection of Senator Harry ). ne"
and SAYS Albert ]. Beveridge, when
in the senate. was a 'poseur, an
-esotist" and a user of words.
whose name is mot recorded in con-
nection with a bit of constructive
or practical legislation" The letter
saws senator New has been tried
for nearly Ave years and We know
exactly what he thinks and we
know exactly what tremendous m
fiuence he exerts In behalf of our vet
erans and their widows.
The letter TO widows of veterans
of the civil war. which is PRACTICAL
" the same as that to the veterans,
follows:
IA crisis impends in congress. ana
the vote on May 2. in Indiana, may
precipitate this crisis disastrously
for those who are interested in the
veterans of the civil war and in
their widows
I'm these interests I am writing
YOU personally. 1t is highly de-
sirable to the furtherance OF these
interests that Harry s. New be kept
In the United States senate Senator
New has been tried for nearly nve
years and we know exactly what he
thinks nd we know exactly what
tremendous influence he exerts IN
behalf of our veterans and their
widows. His every utterance rings
true and his whole soul is bound up
in securing justice In the way OF
pensions for all veterans and for
their widows without shadow
Of faltering, Harry 5. New is for
right and justice on every question
that comes before him. He is a
constructive legislator.
None of these attributes can be
applied to Albert J. Beveridge, who
for six years ratified around In q
seat in the United States senate
He was a figure head. a poseur and
a talker. In all those years his name
Is not recorded in connection with
q bit of constructive or practical
legislation. In fact. he is rcmem-
bered only as an egotist and a user
of words
The reelection of Harry s. New
appeals most strongly to the wo-
men voters because the state OF
Indiana has about $4,000 widows
who are drawing pensions A vote
for or against pensions In the senate
might mean the difference between
liberal and rneager aid of $1,000
women. all of whom are voters.
These women. with their relatives,
represent a formidable force that
should be exerted in behalf Of Sem
ator New, whose senatorial acts and
votes show him to be stanchly the
friend of the war-worn and their
dependents. Fraternally yours,
JOHN McELROY."

WARNING To
RADIO FANS

with a father and son killed at
Cleveland yesterday while attempt
ing to stretch g. radio aerial across
high tension wires and serious In
juries to other amateur operators
under similar circumstances in 9TH
er cities. The Times today publishes
a warning to radio fans.
There are probably as many as
700 radio amateurs in Hammond and
the surrounding district.
Any one of these amateurs who
fails to follow these rules of safety
is unnecessarily running the risk Of
death.
There Is absolutely no danger to
the amateur IL these precautions arc
observed.
These safety rules are quoted
from a radio expert and are partic-
them-observe them.
Acoid accident.
The rules:
First OF all. remember to stay
away from all commercial wires.
Shock from a high tension wire
means death. A lesser shock, IL
sustained while the amateur was
atop a roof, might throw him to the
ground causing permanent injury or
death.
For these reasons do not climb
a telegraph pole or attempt to fast
en- your aerial to such a pole.
do not attempt to string an
aerial either above or below COM
mercial wires
IF you put your aerial below the
high tension wire there is danger of
the wire blowing down during a
storm and coming In contact with
your aerial.
do not tamper with the electric
light wires in your house. especially
IL you have the higher voltage wires
for operating an electric stove.
ALSO see that your station is pro-
tected against lightning For this
purpose use either lightning
switch or a lightning arrester which
meets the approval OF tho Fire Tn
derwriters' Code.
THE switch must not be smaller
than a 100-ampere 25o-volt switch.
THE switch or lightning arrester
must be grounded outside the house
to a ground separate from the one
used for the receiving set. The
code specifies a No. wire for the
connection to the ground.
I'm addition place a to 6-ampere
fuse in the lead-in wire just before
1T enters the house. This fuse is an
additional protection when the set
IS in operation"

FIND GIRLS BODY
IN CHURCH PARS0NAGE
Hoopeston, Ill, Scene OF
Mystery in Connection
With Grewsome Find.

HOOPESTON. ILL.,, April 2S.-Dis-
covery of the body of Miss Gertrude
Hanna, 26. lying on a narrow ledge
in the basement of the vacant Unit
ed Presbyterian parsonage. has
shaken this town to its foundations
today and provided the authorities
with a mystery that may prove diff
ficult of solution.
Whether Miss Hanna was nur-
dered or ended her own life has not
been determined. whether she met
her death in the basement of the
parsonage or was brought there
after being slain is another puzzling
angle of the mystery The length
OF time she has been dead. whether
she died by poison or through some
other means and the reason for her
Staying or suicide are other phases
swer.
But topping all OF these puzzling
questions came the revelation that
the girl. had she lived. would have
become a mother. This fact is the
outstanding feature OF the case that
has caused a sensation here.
Miss Hanna's body was found late
yesterday by a. carpenter who was
engaged IN preparing the parsonage
for the occupancy of new pastor.
Workmen had been engaged in the
upper part OF the house several days
but not until yesterday did any OF
them have occasion TO 60 to the
basement,
J. C. McKibben. in charge OF the
carpenters. went to the basement
yesterday and noticed what appear
ed to be a bundle of clothing on a
ledge. Investigation proved It to
be the body of Miss Hanna.
Sheriff Charles Knox and Coroner
John Cole were notified. An au-
topsy revealed the girls condition.
No marks of violence were found
upon the body. Impressions in the
flesh of the wrists indicated that her
hands might have been bound for
some time with a leash of some des-
cription but otherwise the body was
unmarked.
Inquest into the case has been
postponed pending an examination
by expert chemists OF the stomach
and other vital organs OF the girl.
This examination will reveal whet
er death resulted from poisoning.
Miss Hanna had been missing from
her home for four weeks She had
left home late one evening and had
not returned. Search for her had
been unavailing. The body. when
found. was clothed in the garments
the girl wore when she left home.

was found had been. vacant for three
