Golfers Practice on Indoor Courses

Novices Swing at White
PHI With Vigor if Not
Much Skill,

C7HOUGH winter gales may
sweep across golf course and
drive followers of the pitted
pill to cover, they can not quell the
desire of devotees of the game to
''wield a wicked brassie.'
Miss Caroline Mark. 1927 N. King
Ave, sometimes spends the greater
part or her lunch hour listening to
Wallie Sparks, golf expert at the in
door course at the Emroe Sporting
Goods Store, point out faults of
novices.
Miss Mark admits the game has its
faults, for how is one to pose in
putting posture and smile at the
camera at the same time, since one
of the elementary points is to keep
the eye on the ball?"
"Old people become adept at the
game more quickly than young PEG
pie. Sparks said, because their
nerves are more settled. But they
don't achieve the same degree of
perfection in the long run. Virtually
all Championships last year were
won by youths.

INSANE PRISONERS
At JAIL CUT TO
ONE BY PUBLICITY
LOSche Says Patients Are
Admitted to Hospital With
Greater Speed,

Acceptance of one Of the two in,
sane prisoners by the Central Hos
pital for the Insane leaves only one
in the county Jail, Clerk Albert II.
Losche said today Four others are
held on charges Of vagrancy awaiting
inquests.
The number is the lowest it has
been for "a long time, as a result OF
publicity given the Imprisonment OF
the insane in the county Jail by The
Times, Losche said. There have
been as many as seventeen. confined
over there because we could not get
them admitted TO the asylum"
We are not having any trouble at
all in committing them in the past
two weeks. / don't know where the
asylum is putting them, but none are
being kept in jail after being declared
insane, except one Englishman. whose
status will have to be determined by
Circuit Court. He has been in Jail
sixty days"
Speedy removal from the jail does
not get at the root of the matter,
though Losche said. People sus.
pected of insanity must be kept over
there at the jail on charges of insani-
ty, Instead of separate ward at the
City hospital as they should be-"
Losche said he would attend the con
ference Friday morning between coun-
ty commissioners and a delegation
from the League of Women Voters on
a proposal by the league that the coun-
ty provide a temporary ward, separate
from the Jail for handling the insane
until psychopathic ward is built.
At Central Hospital 1t was sail that
with a total enrolment of 1,476 pa
tients there are not enough beds for

ACCIDENTS CAUSE
POWER SHUT-OFF
Light and Heat Company Coal
ConveyerS Break Down,

Two power lines from, the, Mill st.
plant of the Indianapolis Light and
Heat Company, shut off early today
when two coal conveyors broke down
and shortly thereafter coal car
jumped the track, were to be turned
on again this afternoon, according to
company officials. Frozen coal further
tied up operations.
The power was turned off to protect
larger users on other circuits, when it
was found the temporary shut-off of
coal would reduce boiler efficiency, it
was said.
Factories in the north and east parts
of the city served by the Mil ST. plant
complained to the public service com
mission when the power was shut off.

with one uan. and had another fight
today with another. and were charged
in one indictlent for the two separate
offenses Of assault and battery
Ryan attacked chiefly the indict-

ing alleged forged notes given banks,
the one in twentyfour counts charg
ing false statements. the one in thir-
teen counts alleging embezzlement Of
$155. 600 from the State board of agri-
culture, and the one in three counts
alleging issuing Of fraudulent checks
This one In three counts charges
three separate crimes, committed. on
three different dates and on two diff
ferent banks" he said.

was not sure" but that the indict.

by the State, another charging larceny
and embezzlement Of the same fund,
one charging embezzlement of $25. 900

as the long ones, will have to be at
tackled on some other grounds
