Of the Ford publication, will resume

Thus far. the jury had heard much
about Sapiro and little about Ford,
The odds remained even here
among newspaper men that Ford
would not appear. but his counsel in

court called him. 1t was felt, how
ever, that the Ford attorneys either
would block Ford's appearance with
technical objections or prevent his
giving any testimony after he did
take the stand.

Indications that Traffic Di-

held equally guilty with his
assistant, Col. /. G. Moller, in
the traffic light scandal, were
seen today as the Bureau of

of its investigation of the case.
II do not think there is

William n. McReynolds, as
sistant chief Of the bureau.
Contracts Studied
I'VE have received intact the

are very illuminating, especially
as regards Eldridge's knowledge
of the business"
Colonel Moller has been sus-

BOARD RULES;
fine PROVIDED
Senator Got s83 From
Health Fund According
to Custom

The State health board shall
make rules governing expenditure
Of the hydrophobia fund and
violators of these rules shall pay a
fine of not more than $25, says the
Indiana statute passed in 1911.
Three rules we're adopted by the
board at that time and are still in
force, according to DR.. William F..
King, State health board secretary.
They require that any person ap-
plying for free pasteur treatment
shall have: First, a certificate from
the local health officer saying the
patient has no visible means of
support; second, a similar certif1-
cate from the township trustee; and
third, approval of such certificates
by the board of health secretary.
None of these rules was applied
in the payment of 1884 to State
Senator Bruce E. Cooper, Stewards
vile. The money was given out for
carfare and meals for Mrs. Cooper
and their son, Bruce Jr, the boy
coming here for treatments against
rabies at the State board of health
laboratory.
Issues Statement
Cooper declares that the law was
not broken, but only the health
board rules and that it is custom
airy to make, such payments to any
one, whether they are INDECENT or
not. This Interpretation was ap-
proved by H. R. Conrey of the State
health board, who has charge of
the records. DR.. King admitted
there was no certification in the
Cooper case and the Senator's po-
sition is made clear in the follow
ing statement dictated to The
Times.

Mystery to French.

terry"
Some of the papers are openly sus-
picious, and dispatched reaching Paris
from Calais and Boulogne say that
no conveying tug. rowboat or fish
ing smack has left either city for q
Channel swim thus far this year.
The Czech legation in Paris refused
to confirm the report today beyond
saying that details of the swim, which
said that Spacek swan from Wissant,
between Calais and Cape Girls Neg,
to Dover on Thursday in 10 hours
and 45 minutes, were furnished by
the swimmer personally upon his ar.
rival in Paris.
Experts at Boulogne say the water
Is much too cold for swim at this
time Of the year, and weather condi-
tions for the past two weeks made a
Channel swim virtually impossible.
Investigators at Boulogne and Calais
were unable to locate any one. either
official or unofficial, having any
knowledge of the alleged swim.
The account of the swim, as given
out by the Czech legation. said that
Spacek was conveyed by tug and
that he was accompanied For part
of the way by fellow countryman
