While the mothers are intent upon the
program of the day,
They discover Mary Jane and Bobby
Dick are in the way;
And the plans of doting parents very
often go askew
When the children interfere as they are
very apt to do.

Stupid

Thus does the stupidity of cen
sorship manifest itself once more.
Why is a policeman, or several of
them, any better judge of what is
good for me than I am for my
self? If he has sufficient back
ground to be able to prescribe for
all of us, he wouldn't be a police
man. Censorship is a subjective
not an objective job. The job is
to some way give people such
chances at the real beauty of life

woman walked away with the girl,
the mother said. She went on to
the movie show where they were
bound, stayed for two shows, and
told her husband at $50, when she
returned home, the mother said.
Miss Graham declared she was
walking with her sister on East
st. when she saw Mrs. Patten and
her children, whom she had seen
before but did not know by name.
She offered to help the child for
awhile and the mother agreed, tell
ing her to keep the girl until to-
day, Miss Graham said.
This morning she saw Mrs. Pat
ten walking by her home and called
to her to get Louise.
Mrs. Patten declared she was
hunting for the child when Miss
Graham called, her, but insisted
she did not know Miss Graham had
her.
Sergts. Charles Quack and Thomas

investigated the case.
They are taking action to have

clans and will find homes for the
children on consent of the father,
they said.

Council Will Vote Tonight
on New Date.

Daylight saving time will cease
in Indianapolis on Sept. 30, instead
Of the third Sunday in October, as
the ordinance now provides, if aE
amendment prepared today by Ed
ward Knight, city attorney, IS
adopted by the council tonight.
No opposition to the change in
date is anticipated as the amend
ment was prepared upon request Of
the councilmen, Knight said.
The reason for the change is that
most other cities using dayling saw
ing time return to standard time By
October, the councilnaen seeking the
amendment declared.
The petition for referendum on
daylight saving time in the future
will be presented by Local 80, Ma
tional Association of Letter Car

Clerks. They are opposed to using
anything but standard time, since
the postoffice system functions or

The present ordinance provides
that the daylight saving time is t.
become effective the second Sunday

Youth of Nation Injured

Drinking among high school
pupils, both boys and girls, has be-

Rev. Glenn B. Coykendall of
Thompsonville, Conn.
The. Rev. j. Deb. Saunderson of
Brownsville, Pa, finds that the
moral effect of an unenforced and
unenforceable law has become very
sad" Boys and girls, he said, have
taken to drinking because it was
fad, and the fad has become a
habit.

were in the old saloon days." in the
opinion of the Rev. R. Johnston
Thomas of Valentine, Neb. He
found that drinking was common
among boys and girls of high school
age.
There never were more drinking
young men in our colleges than
there are at the present time" 4"
wrote the Rev. J. Lewis Gibbs Of
Staunton, Va. He found it tragic
that young women were doing the
same thing"
Even boys and girls seem to take
great pride in drinking so that they
may become intoxicated" observed
the Rev. Joseph Williams of Prince
Frederick, Md.
Many workmen believe that their
employers forced prohibition on
them to get more work of out them,

SIX BULLETS IN BODY
BIZ 1InlcS Nnecinl


CLINTON. Ind. Aug. 2O-The
body of Edward Shannon, formerly
of Indianapolis, machine gunned to
death in the best Chicago style
here Sunday, lay in a morgue to-
day, as much of a puzzle in death
as the men who killed him are in
life. Strife between rival rum rum
ming gangs is blamed.
Shannon met death when the
staccato bark of a machine gun
broke the Sabbath silence here,
and. simultaneously with the end
of the firing, he slumped forward in
the seat of an automobile after six
bullets, all in vital spots, pierced his
body.
Today police were without a def
mite clew regarding the Staying. The
slayers sped into the city in a large
car, drove by Shannon's parked au-
tomobile, turned the machine gun
loose, and sped out of the city with
out slackening speed.
Shannon'S car was parked in front
of the home of Louis Rolando. A
friend of the slain man sat on the
front porch of the home.
Pushed Body From Car
AS the firing started, the friend,
who is unidentified, jumped from
his chair, pulled his gun and began
firing. Then he rushed to Shan
mons automobile, took one look at
his friend. pushed the body from
the car, and sped away after the
slayers, firing as he drove.
Police questioned Rolando. He
said he did not know either Shan
non or the companion and that he
had no idea who the Slayers we're.
Identification of Shannon was made
through papers in his pocket.
Local police said Shannon recent
-ly had come here from indianapolis
and it was learned from that city
that the slain man had been there
but short time, coming from De-
troit.
Consider Liquor Theory
Police turned to liquor as a pos
sible motive but admitted they could
not link Shannon with liquor deal
ing. They said also that Rolando
had never been arrested on liquor
charges.
AS the killing was enacted here,
police said they believed the method
tailed exactly with that some
times used by gangsters in the
larger cities.
The crime, insofar as cIews left
behind are concerned, was near per-
feet. About all police had as evi-
dence today was hSannon's body.
They know nothing of his life. They
have been unable to learn the name
of his companion. Questioning Ro-
lando has revealed nothing.
And meanwhile, Clinton, was
stirred by its most sensational crime.
The breaking of a Sabbath stiffness
with machine gun fire in a town of
this size was the principal conversa-
tional topic today.

There was an apparent reluctance

Crime Is on Increase

Crime in the United States has
increased since prohibition, the
pamphlet contended.
This does not prove that people
are drinking more" it continued. at
may be the result of growing con-
tempt for all laws that the Volstead
act has bred"
The Very Rev. Francis Blodgett
of Erie, Pa, believes there is more
than ga fortuitouS connection" be-
tween the increase in crime and
prohibition. He finds "the open dis
regard of all law" more to be feared
than the saloon.
The Rev. Joseph H. Dodshon,
archdeacon of southern Ohio, re-
ported that conditions in Ohio un-
der prohibition have become dread
full"
The pamphlet recorded tnat most
OF the directors Of the society are
total abstainerS.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1928-08-20
Resented by Many

"The various polls conducted by
the Church Temperance Society
have been resented bitterly by those
who believe in prohibition and also
to some extent by those who do not,
the latter saying that any express
sion by our church would result in
harm to our communion" said the
pamphlet.
When questions were submitted to
the Rt. Rev. John G. Murray, pre-
siding bishop of the church, he is
quoted as replying, 81 do not think
it would be at all profitable to aug
ment the sundry and varied con-
tributions being made on the sub
ject you mention by an expression
of personal opinion" l."
The pamphlet also asserts that
many of the clergy were deferred
from expression of opinion through
fear that they would offend their
bishops.
An analysis of letters received
from clergynen convinced the au-
thors of the booklet that for every
"old soak" killed off by bad whisky.
prohibition trains two young re-
cruits to take his place.
"All history proves that the more
the machinery of Government tries
to crush the people into submission
to a sumptuary law. the more they
REBEL" said the booklet. Schemes
for evading such laws multiply more
rapidly than do the devices for
compelling obedience"
The passing of the saloon is seen
as a cause for qualification. but
