ATTACKS LEGION
HEAD FOR PLAN
TO CURB TALKS
Sherwood Eddy Flags Spaf-
ford for Attempt to Sup
press Free Speech.

Charges that National Command
er Edward Spafford of the American
Legion is engaged in campaign of
what he characterizes as suppress
sion of free speech" are made by
Sherwood Eddy, Y. M. G. A. leader
in the March l issue of the Chris
ton Century.
He relates a conference held with
Spafford in Indianapolis Jan. 90, in
which the Legion commander told
him that he would do all he could
to prevent people from hearing
Eddy speak and get his speaking
dates cancelled.
Letters Spaford wrote to Legion
commanders in an effort to thwart
Eddy are included in the article.
Referring to his conference here
Eddy writes:
Suggested Referendum
II suggested that it might be well
to have a referendum of the Amer
lean Legion and of the country as
to whether we still have free speech
or whether q few military men shall
dictate to the country who shall
speak and who shall not speak.
Does the Legion or does it not
believe in the Constitution and in
the right of free speech in this
country, as more than a verbal
bubble? OF course the Gar Of
Russia believed in free speech-for
himself and his carefully censored
clergy and government officials, but
it was denied to all who criticized
his policy or differed from him.
as that the meaning of the
American Constitution in the I'M
derstanding of Washington and
Jefferson? Does the Legion, or does
it not. believe in genuine free
speech?"
Admits Being Pacifist
In concluding the article Eddy
states that he is frankly pacif1st"
and then concludes:
"A few years ago it was the in
tolerance of the Ku-Klux Khan that
was an obstacle of free speech. I
hear no more of the Khan now;
that policy seems to have discredited
and killed it. If this policy is con-
tinued it will discredit the Legion
and it will follow in the wake of the
Khan.
81 do not believe that the better
element in the Legion will stand for
this.

FATAL TRAFFIC
CRASHES SHOW
BIG Cain HERE
Twenty One Deaths in Two
Months Double of Toll
Year Ago.

Fatal traffic accidents more than
doubled in Indianapolis during the
first two months of this year, as
compared with a similar period in
1927, reports received from the traf-
fic division by Police Chief Claude
M Worley revealed today.
Twenty-one deaths occurred dur
ing January and February, 1928,
while in 1927 there were but ten
during these two months. There
were Alb injured thus far this year,
the report shows.
Of the number killed, eight deaths
we're in January and thirteen in
February. There we're 203 injured
in January and 215 in February.
Alarmed at this increase, Worley
issued a statement pointing out that
with the Inauguration of student
patrols and safety education, acct
dents to school children have de-
creased. He points to education as
being the salvation of traffic &C
cident prevention.
Twenty One Die in Two Months
"Drive on traffic regulation viola
tors was already under way when
the report was received. More than
100 appeared before Municipal Judge
Clifton R. Cameron today to be rep
rimanded for passing traffic lights
and the like. Several were fined 50
each. Worley ordered the drive con-
tinued and commented on the re-
port as follows:
"Since accidents involving school
children have decreased. while the
total has increased. the report seems
to bear out my contention that our
hope for solving these problems and
preventing this loss of life and limb
lies in a program of education.
"Of the twenty-one killed during
these first two months. eleven were
pedestrians. Investigation Of these
cases reveal that in the majority of
cases carelessness on the part of
both motorist and pedestrian was to
blame.
Pedestrian Is Careless
Even in the old horse and buggy
days we were warned to be on the
lookout before crossing the street.
Such warning Is much more to oe
needed now. Every pedestrian
should take the utmost precaution
before crossing the street.
"On the other hand the care
lessness of the pedestrian is aug
mented by that of the motorist.
Every car driver should be con-
stantly on the alert. have his or her
machine under perfect control and
be sure that the brakes will hold
when needed.
Records show that many pedes-
TRANS cross the streets in the middle
Of a block and accidents result. All
crossing should be done at the places
provided and then only after looking
both ways.
"If the adults obey these rules. as
the school children are doing, our
record for traffic accidents will be
less sorry one"

$4,000 WATER
PLANT is URGED
FOR SUNNYSIDE
Engineer Submits Plan to
Improve Supply at
SanatOrium.

Expenditure of $4,000 on the Sum-
nyside tuberculosis sanatorium wa
ter plan was recommended today
in report Of H. T. Best, engineer.
County commissioners were PLAN
ming to spend a maximum of only
81 200 when the sanatorium'S board
of managers urged a change in
plans whereby Best, a private engi-
neer, would make survey and rec
concentrations.
His recommendations will be
passed on to the county council in
the form of a request for an appro-
priation, Commissioner Cassius L.
Hogle said.
Supply Is Adequate
Best's general plan for improves
ments takes the position that the
present supply Of water is adequate
in quantity, but that treatment in
standardization basins and filters is
necessary.
Better fire protection and in
stall ton of one new pump also are
contemplated.
Best claims his plan if made
operative will preclude probability
Of sending patients to their homes
again due to water shortage, as
occurred early this month.
Present arrangement at the
sanatorium is satisfactory unless
one of the pumps goes bad. If this
occurs, another serious situation
would be faced.
Delay of Several Weeks
Best's report recommends con-
struction of a accompaniment
sedimentation basin with 100000
gallon capacity; installation of one
new PUMP; erection of a glass in
closure over the basin; installation
of two fire plugs and an arrange
ment whereby water for fire protec-
ton may be pumped simultaneously
from the sedimentation basin and
directly from the wells.
Red tape connected with putting
such a plan into operation would re-
suit in a delay Of several weeks at
least, it was pointed out today.
