Poison Widows
Paralyzed Son
Talks For Her

David Cunningham, paralyZed
by the effects of arsenic which his
mother, Mrs. Anna Cunningham, Of
Gary. once admitted she gave him,
was carried Friday into the court
room at Crown Point, where she
is being tried for the murder by
poison of her 10 years old son Wal
ter.
Lying on a stretcher unable to
move head, legs or arms, he wis
pered his response to the brief
questioning of Judge Martin Smith
and the defense lawyers.
Knows He Was Poisoned
It was little he had to tell, and
he made it plain that he does not
wish to convict his mother, al
though he knows he still has no
more than an even chance to re-
cover. He knew that he had been
poisoned, he said, but did not know
who gave his arsenic. He admitted
that his mother had prepared all
his food previous to his illness.

Leland Giuen
$4,000 In Suit

Albert r. Leland was awarded
damages Of $4,000 Friday night by
jury in Chicago in his $4,000
SANDER suit against E. L. Hartig,
wealthy official of the Oak Park
church of which Leland formerly
was a parishioner.
The jury deliberated for a little
more than three hours. The suit
was the outgrowth of suit for
divorce filed by Leland in which
the Rev. Carl d. Case, pastor of
the Oak Park church, which all the
principals attended was named.
The divorce action came after
Leland's wife, Mrs. Charlotte Lee
land, said that DR.. Case and she
had been guilty of misconduct. Mrs.
Leland testified for her husband in
the divorce action.
During the investigation of the
flair by the church, Hartig, a
trustee, was a member of COM
mittee which made an inquiry. Lee
LAM charged that Hartig had re-
ferred to him as the father of an
illegitimate child, rubber in a
Turkish bath and as a man who
once practiced medicine without a
license.

Wisconsin Is steadily making

the state board Of health.
Ranking Twelfth Of the birth re-

urban infant mortality rate was

eleventh in the list of 1924, with
rate of 90. Twenty one cities
were covered.
Madison exhibited the lowest
infant mortality in Wisconsin in
1924 with a rate of 40. The 1928
honor city was Marinette. with At

In Analysing the figures sta
tisticians consider the adequacy OF
birth reporting, upon which much
depends for a fair ranking with
other units and the possibility
that cities with baby boarding
homes will show increased fatali-
ties among children under one year
of age.

Good Old Days
Not Like These

Newspapers often speak of the
good old days. But were they any
better than they are today? In the
so-called good old days the world
never enjoyed the. exercises of dod-
ging automobiles; there was no
static to exercise ones vocal
chords a bootlegger was just a
plain bum instead of financier;
and if a man dreamed of an air
plane he took big dose of castor
oil the next day for bilious at
tack. These are the good old days.

SMITH BANS
INSURANCE
ON CHRYSLER
South Carolina Firm
Not Licensed to Do
Business in State,
Commissioners Rules
(Ry the United Press

The Chrysler Sales corporation of
Detroit was informed today by In
surance Commissioner w. Stanley
Smith that its contract with the
Palmetto Fire Insurance Company,
of Sumpter, S. Carolina, whereby
all Chrysler cars sold in Wisconsin
would be covered by insurance car
ried by that company, was against
the statutes of Wisconsin.
In the first place, Mr.. Smith
says, the company is not licensed
to do business in Wisconsin though
they have an application for ad-
mission pending and he is not
ready to grant that company Ii
cense because the rates on Chrys-
Ter cars "are apparently discrim-
inatory and could not be used in
this state"
According to the statement by
COMMISSIONER OHlCn me pan -
illegal for the reason that every
ChrysTer dealer would, lin some
manner aid or assist in pacing this
insurance, and they are not licensed
as insurance agents as required by
Law.
"If the delivery charges on cars
sold after July Is, 1925 includes
an insurance premium and you con :
tinue to give the above kind OF
coverage in accordance with the
plan, it will be necessary for this
department to action" Mr.. Smith
said.

CAMPAIGN TO
POST PRICES
OF GASOLINE
fay the United PRESS

A vigorous campaign to secure
compliance with the order of the
state department of markets re-
curing the posting of all prices at
which gasoline is sold and penal
izing secret rebates was decided
upon at a conference held by Com
missioner of Markets Edward Nord
man and Attorney General Herman
L. Ekern with representatives of
the oil industry in Madison this
week. The statement follows:
''The order which was made
May 4th applies to jobbers, whole
salers and retailers of gasoline, in
Guiding service stations, garages
and stores selling gasoline.
''The Wisconsin Independent Oil
Jobbers association and other lead
ing companies, such as Standard
Oil and Sinclair, promised cooper,
alton in calling attention to their
retailers to the order and in Sc
curing the posting of prices and
the stamping out of secret rebates.
The state officials insisted that all
purchasers of gasoline were en-
titled to know exactly the prices
and terms offered to other purchas-
ers so that all coming within the
same conditions will be treated III
the same way. This is especially
important in view of the practice
recently introduced with regard to
prices for larger quantities.
Attention also was given to the
problem Of doing away with the
waste involved in furnishing free
pumps and tanks, and the payment
of so-called rentals by the oil
companies The companies admit
that these practices are on trial.
as is also the new quantity-price
schedule which may serve to sub
stitute open for secret methods Of
dealing. 1t is planned to have fur
Their conferences on this question
within the coming two or three
months.
