EQUIPMENT OF:
JUL|ETTA WING
IS AUTHORIZED
Lower Floor of West Arm to
Be Opened to AcCommo-
date 40 Patients.

In accordance with the recent rec
ommendation of the last Marion
County grand jury in it's final re-
port, the lower floor of the west
wing of Julietta, county insane hos
pital for insane. will be opened and
equipped for the use of men pa
tents, it became known today. The
county commissioners have author
lied DIR. Benjamin Morgan, superin-
tendent, to equip the addition.
The west wing has been closed for
about two years, after it was
charged the building was improperly
constructed and not safe for pa
tents. The commissioners charged
that George A. Weaver, G. Son,
contractors. did not erect The atdi-
ton according to plans and specifi-
cations and used improper and poor
materials.
Son Acquitted
Weaver and his son were indicted
by the grand jury following an in
vestigation of the construction of
the new building. They were joint
ly charged with making false claims
against the county. The son, given
"a separate trial. was acquitted Of
the charge by a jury in Criminal
Court several months ago. The ia.
Their has not been tried.
DR.. Morgan said at present no at.
tempt will be made to occupy the,
second floor Of the west wing He
said the occupancy of the lower
floor will relieve crowded conditions.
The men will be put in the sick
room, next to the new kitchen.
All From County
There are 221 patients in the in
stitution, said DR.. Morgan. OF that
number. 100 are men and IL WON.
en-, all from Marion County.
Last year when Governor Jackson
refused to sign the bill which would
virtually give Julietta to the State
to be operated as State institution,
the commissioners declared they
would remove all of the patients by
hte first Of the year and convert the
institution into an infirmary. This
was found to be impractical, but the
commissioners decreed that no more
patients would be accepted and that
steps would be taken to gradually
empty the institution by sending pa
tents home or removing them to
State institutions.
200 Need Care
While this policy has been carried
out. DIR. Morgan said two patients
have been accepted since Jan. 1.
Whenever possible. patients have
been removed to other institutions.
DR. Morgan said there are about
200 persons Of unsound mind in In
dianapolis homes who ought to be
in a. hospital. With the opening of
the new ambition about forty new
patients can be cared for, Dr. Nor
.ran said

Persons Questioned

Among persons known to nave
been questioned are John c. Willis,
former commission employe and
now an investigator in the State fire
marshars office; William A. Gremel-
spacher and Stanley Stokes, en-
polyed in the highway commission
garage.
For the last three months a De-
partment of Justice agent has been
examining the commission books.
This is the second Federal investi-
CATION of the office since the first OF
the year. Ward conducted an in
quiry and made report to Attor-
ney General John G. Sargent. AL
though the report never was made
public, some dispatches claimed it
'exonerated' commission members.
Ward, however, declared the re-
port did not make any recommen-
dations, being composed only Of
facts collected The district attor-
ney admitted that an investigation
is being conducted, but asserted the
cease was never closed"
1t is believed that Sargent ordered
the second probe.

New York, April f GP,-Thc shy. ness which krao. ultra-femjniu, boarded lady Of the siIcshows, over came for thirty years to turn mis- fortune into prosperity, holds sway with her death.
 krao. known in the circus as the missing link" died yesterday Of in- Auen2a, leaving instructions that her hairy body be cremated so her pc culiarities could no longer be ex- hihitcd.
 Despite her appearance, she was exceedingly feminine, according to her friends in the circus.
 She was thoroughly feminine. and very shy and gentle. and kind, too," said the circus spleler who knew her best. She spent all her spare time crochetinE. When row dies bothered her and I threatened to throw them out, she would say, Leave them alone They don't mean any harm Then they usually sneaked away"
 The thick hair on Krao's arms grew upward. monkey-like: she had no car,ilege in her nose. there were pouches in her cheeks. and her fin- gers would bend backward as far as forward. But she spoke four lan- guagps, and the circus folk tell of cultivated strangers being surprised at her familiarity with literature.

NO MORE FILMS FROM U. s
Qucb,c Province Censorship Cause American Picture Men to Act Canadian Auto Firms Facing S5,- 100000 Loss Through Tariff.

Toronto, April r P,-American automobiles and American moving pictures are main points of discus sion in Canada today,
 The first by reason Of the fact that fear is expressed lest the newly announced tariff reductions on motor cars will work great injury upon the Canadian manufacturers, and the second because Montreal and 0ther cities in Quebec face the prospect Of having their moving picture houses closed down after August owing to threat by American jim distributors to decline to ship in their product in the face of the prevailing censorship.
 Benefit T.. $. Manufacturers
 Exactly what effect the tariff rc. duction on motor cars will have op the Canadian industry has not been determined. It is the opinion, how ever, that it will work greatly to the advantage of the American car builders, and that the local indus. try, with its tariff protection re moved, will be faced by the mass production of American factories. The reduction in the tariff provides for 15 per cent on imported auto mobiles valued at not more than S1,- 200 retail and c712 per cent on cars valued at more than S1,200 retail.
 Plan 10 Shut Down
 Several American motor car com panies, working under Canadian cor poration and building in the Domin- ion. arc said to be getting ready to close down and presumably will op- crat" into Canada from the United States, The Dodge Brothers com pany reached decision yesterday 70 cease operations and the Durant Motor Car company Is said to be taking an inventory preparatory 10 closing down.

TILS0N PROMISES TO
 BRING UP CROP BILL
House Consideration of Surplus Relief Measure
 Now Is Assured

Washington, April 17 LP> --- With house consideration Of a crop sur- plus bill assured by Representative Tilson of Connecticut, republican leader, President Coolidge is main taining an open mind with respect to the Tincher bill cmbodying Secre- tary Jardine's proposal to aid farm. CTS in marketing their products vided with a revolving fund out of the treasury.
 Chairman Haugen of the house agriculture committee. which has held hearings for several weeks on the corn belt and other bills, has been directed. meanwhile, to draft a proposal along his own ideas. The committee however, is not pledged to support his plan, which probably will bring together some of the pro- visions of the McNaiy-Haugen bill W IlCll Idlltu u ltCtlNt COllS tSSlOllJl l approval two years ago, and of the corn belt measure, with the equal ization fee proposed in the latter applicable to the first sales of wheat, corn, cattle and hogs. Both plans contain the farm board idea.
 While the president is not com mitted one way or the other and will walt until the opinions of farm group members in congress have been brought out, he Is inclined to- ward the principle of the Tincher bill in providing for assistance with out putting the government in the business of buying and selling crop surpluses. MT. Haugen. on the other hand would have the proposed board authorized 10 buy and sell products If the price should fall be- low the world market quotation plus the import tariff on that commodity, and would empower the president to change tariff rates to any point necessary to protect farmers from foreign competition.
