The beauty of indianapolis ap-
peals to all of us; with It's many
parks, it's beautiful boulevards and
streams-which at night reflect the
myriads of electric lights like so
many stars.
We like Indianapolis for it's
State fair, and for the Speedway
races, which we see annually; like
which there are no others. In
whatever It attempts, Indianapolis
always excels. And yet, some
times like 1t most of all because,
in spite of it's great business
houses, and hustle, It seems to be
at heart just big country town.

CLINGS TO BABY AFTER
PLEA FOR ITS DEATH
Mother Who Could Not See It
Suffer Has Change of Heart as
Official Calls,

FORT WAYNE. Ind, April 7.--Af-
ter pleading yesterday with city
health authorities for a death pill''
for her flve-day baby boy, Mrs
Saxona Edgell, twenty-year- old
mother, has experienced a change of
heart and declared that she would
not part with the child for any
thing in the world"
Mrs. Edgells request for the death
pill" was made to H. E. King, deputy
Inspector for the board of health,
when he called at the home in re-
sponse to a letter. 'I was nearly
distracted when 1 asked that the
little fellow be put out of his misery
Mrs Edgell said yesterday. HE has
not opened his eyes since he was born
and has taken no nourishment.
Just could not bear the thought of
having him go through life sightless
or possibly become a public ward"
Police and health officials express
the belief that the child was not
welcome and that the mothers re-
quest was the result of a desire to
have it taken from her. The family
is in straitened circumstances. Ply
sicians declare that the boy seems
normal.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. April THE feature
of today's short and comparatively
dull session in bonds was the decline
in rfbertys. which carried them down
to a point where all yesterdays gains
were lost.
United States government bonds
closed strong Friday after having
Jagged behind the general market all
the week. Today's quotations seemed
to show that. the price had become
high enough to induce further liqui-
dation on the part OF large holders
Outside Of libertys the general bond
market held fairly firm. Price changes
were not large and there was no
great activity. Atchison General IS
and Atchison Adjustments improved
fractionally and there was some de-
mand for bonds of the grade of Le-
high Valley Consolidated AIS. Specu-
lation centered around the new Mis-
souri, Kansas and Texas adjustm ent.
Here trading was on a large scale.
Foreign bonds continued steady,
with City of. Greater Prague 7hs
gaining.
The weekly statement of the TIT
member banks of the federal reserve
system showed a gain in commercial
loans OF about $26,000,000, while the
loss in investments of about $50. .000,-
900 was confined entirely to United
States securities.

Many uses would be found for all

SURPLUS OF BUTTER

ket Conditions.
By the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, April 7.-Unexpected
surplus caused this weeks butter
market to become weak after open
ing Monday uniformly firm
Foreign butter was largely re-
sponsible for the excessive supplies
and sensitive condition. New Zea-
land butter was in competition with
domestic stocks at New York and
Philadelphia and it was necessary
for the latter market to divert some
OF it's domestic receipts to other CEN
ters.
Western butter formed no small
part of the receipts at the four Lead
ing butter markets, and, being Of
fnacy quality, sold quite readily at
only small concessions under the
corresponding scores of regular re-
ceipts. Uncertainty regarding the
quantity OF far western butter
which might be expected and the
possibility of further imports, were
important factors in keeping the
markets not only very sensitive, but
also weak.
Prices on e2-score stock at the
leading markets closed yesterday as
follows: Chicago. 48. 2k-point loss;
New York, 4914. l2-point loss; Bos-
