MOORE FIGHTS
TO SEE STEVE
IN CELL ALONE
Private Interview in Prison
Asked by Attorney for
Former Dragon.

Attorney Robert H. Moore has
again filed, suit seeking to mandate
Warden Walter H. DAILY to permit
him to see D. G. Stephenson alone
in his cell at Michigan City Prison.
Moore lost similar suit in
Goshen, Ind, when it was trans
ferred from Laporte to South Bend
and then to Goshen. Moore con-
tends that he, as attorney for the
deposed Khan dragon, now serving
life term for murder, has the right
to interview Stephenson without
presence of guards, so that legal
steps may be discussed privately.
Other Stephenson attorneys joined
with Moore in the petition, filed
Monday in Laporte Superior Court.
According to Moore a number of In
diana Khan leaders are to be SUBJ
poenaed to testify at the petition
hearing.
The petition is the latest step in
a long line of legal procedure that
has involved Stephenson since he
was sentenced. Two cases are now
pending decision in the Indiana SUI
preme Court. One is an appeal of
habeas corpus case, which would
require Warden Daily to deliver Ste
phenson back to Marion County au-
thorities on the grounds that he is
illegally held at Michigan City.
The other is the general appeal Of
the murder case, final briefs In
which have not yet been filed. APP
peal was taken on the contention
that failure of the Marion County
Criminal Court clerk to sign the
change of venue constitutes re-
versible error and is grounds for a
new trial. The case was taken from
Marion to Hamilton County.
Moore said he would subpoena
these persons to testify at the new
petition hearing: Joseph Huffing-
ton, Evansville Khan leader; Rollie
| Granger, assistant State fire mar
shall; Alfred Hogston, State fire mar
shall; James jackson, Jackson's
brother, said to be Klar1 Titan of the
Twelfth district; w. G. Smith, In
diana grand dragon, and the Rev.
George S. Henninger, chairman Of
the Marion County Khan political
committee.

LACK FUNDS TO
FIGHT FLOODS
Army Engineers Must Await
Congress Action.
By EARL Sparkling

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.-Army
engineers faced a Mississippi River
situation today which they ad-
mitted had grown definitely more
serious.
Ruling of the controller gen.
erals office against the proposed
use Of 100000 from the rivers and
narbors appropriation has officially
limited the available levee repair
fund TO about $3,200,000.
In addition, the ruling has in
dictated that the controller general
will frown on any other attempt to
violate the law. pending the con-
vening Of Congress.
1t is known that the Mississippi
River commission has considered
for the past month the possibility of
violating the law in aiding such
local levee boards as were unable
to bear their legal share Of the re-
pair work. The law requires that
local boards pay one-third Of all
levee construction expense.
Major r. T. Conner, in the chief
of engineers office, said today that
it was almost certain some Of the
repair work would be dangerously
delayed unless the Federal Govern
ment was able to start work re-
CARELESS of local aid.

Alien Girls
American Settlement Work.
er Says Advice Delays
Many NuptiaIS. 4

Martha Lee, who gives advice to,
the lovelorn through the columns of
The Indianapolis Times, is read
studiously by the foreign girls who
come to the American Settlement
at GIT w. Pearl ST., one of the or
CARNATIONS supported by the Com
munity Fund.
Martha Lee does her part in the
characterization of these young
girls" said Miss Alma Tiefert, the
playground director of the Settle
ment. I'm foreign countries, girls
marry by the time they are Is, or
even younger. Martha Lee advises
against these young alliances, and
her advice stimulates much thought
and discussion among the girls, who
begin to think about marriage quite
seriously by the time they are 10
years old"
Sixteen Is Very Old!
One case that interested them
was that of a girl of Is who was
dead in love" with a youth who
did not show the proper enthusi-
asm. Miss Tiefert said. The srnit-
ten girl wrote to Martha Lee for
advice, and was 5old to forget all
about the affair, as she was much
too young to marry. But the girls
of the settlement had been reared
to believe that 16 was an advanced
age, and that it was highly unsafe
to remain single another instant,
for fear that all chance for conju-
gal bliss would De lost.
"Sixteen!" one exclaimed, why.
I was born when my mother was
1872
Poor Miss Tiefert!
The girls have given Miss Tiefert
up for lost. She has reached the
ripe old age of nineteen, and is still
unwed, and apparently undisturbed
by the catastrophe. Her pupils
worry about her constantly, and
search her finger for ring, and
inquire into her past for knowledge
of some former matrimonial ex-
perience. Once when she brought
her 9-year-old brother to the settle
ment they we're relieved ard de-
lighted and asked if he were rot her
son.
One purpose of the American
settlement is to influence the
foreign parents of these American
born girls to keep them in school
as long as possible, and thus delay
these marriages.
The foreigners are amenable to
reason, and when the arguments
for schooling are sympathetically
presented, they are nearly always
willing to permit the girls to finish
high school, and sometimes to go
to college afterwards, Miss Tiefert
said. They do not lack money, for
they are industrious and thrifty;
but they do need education in
American ideals and customs.

Modern Methods Salvage
Most Insane Patients

Caesars and even gods. To the
sane this is pitiable, but to them it
Is perfection"
This class of patients covers about
30 per cent Of the total institu-
tionalized, DR.. Bauer estimated.
Then there is the other side of the
picture. Those who, in sane mo-
ments, know that their mind has
gone and suffer from the utmost
depression and morbidity. When
the cycle OF insanity returns, they
suffer tortuous hallucinations and
with its elapse they are weakened
in body mind and spirit.
Many Are Salvaged
Another type represents combi-
nation of. the two. Periods of ut
most ecstacy are followed by mo-
ments Of extreme morbid minded
ness. In the high moments the
face and whole being is radiant and
in the reaction these patients are
the picture of detection and despair,
Modern therapeutics and the great
discoveries in psychology are salvag-
ing a majority of all but the most
hopeless cases yearly. Central hos
pital long ago instituted occupa-
tional therapy and by getting the
patients to use their hands in weav-
ing tapestry or other creative work
they have taken their minds away
from themselves and restored them

Put to Work, Minds Taken
Off Selves; They Often
Recover.

Insanity is a nebulous borderline
and it is often difficult to distin-
guish the "shut-ins" from their al
legedly sane brothers on the outside
in the opinion of DR.. Max A. Bahr,
superintendent of Central Hospital
for the Insane.
Economics is often the cause Of
the mentally weak becoming State
charges. Those more fortunate may
remain under family care their en-
tire lives. Where actual physical
breakdown occurs in the structure
of the brain cells, the cases Of
course demand disqualification and
expert medical attention.
MANY insane patients are much
happier than the sane" DR.. Bahr
explained. "They have ceased the
incessant struggle for existence
and found refuge in their own de-
lusions. This is but the escape from
reality, practiced to greater or less
degree by all human beings. but in
the case Of these unfortunates it is
made permanent.
