1927 SETS HEALTH
RECORD FOR CITY

Indianapolis set a new record for
health in 1927, with death rate of
only 1871 a thousand of population,
DR.. Herman G. Morgan, city health
board secretary, announced today.
At the same time, the city's birth
rate dropped, in conformity with the
national trend.
The 1927 death rate was one-tenth
point lower than the record, 1872
for 1924. Decrease under 1925 was
marked, that figure being IA. In
1925 it was 1875. Total deaths in
1927 were 1929, compared with 5,252
in 1926.
Births were $685. in 1927, as COM
pared with $3.50 in 1926. The 1927
birth rate was 17.6 thousand of
population against 1872 in 1925 and
1872 in 1926.
DR.. Morgan said the death rate
would compare favorably with other
cities of the same size and probably
would be among the lowest in the
central West. He explained thai
medical science has been able tc
keep alive large number of babies
cutting the infant mortality rate.
The infant death rate for 1927
was 633 a thousand under one year
of age, a remarkable drop from 70.1
the previous year. There were 42C
deaths of children under one year
old.
Another thing which makes In
dianapolis proud is the drop in ty-
phoid death rate from 2.94. low

CLASH MARKS
FLOOD HEARING
Engineer Stalks Out After
Fiery Questioning.
By United Press


WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-A heat
ed exchange took place at the House
Flood Control Committee session
today between Maj. Gen. Edgar Jad-
win, chief of Army engineers, and
Chairman Reid of the committee,
over what Reid regarded as an inti-
nation by Jadwin that the commit
tee had suppressed information
about flood control projects.
Observers interpreted Reid's final
remark to Jadwin, made in a gen.
eral confusion, as amounting to an
order for the Army engineer chief
to leave the stand.
IF you can't answer the question
we'll have to call another witness
and go ahead with our hearing. >
Reid said, and Jadwin abruptly left
the room.
After the clash there were hints
Jadwin might decline to testify
further. At his Office, however, il
was stated he would go before the
committee again, if desired.
The controversy was precipitated
when Jadwin declared a brief by
Governor F. D. Sampson of Ken
lucky, criticizing the Army engineer
plan. is full of fallacies" and that
he will answer it in a detailed let
ter.
"We must get busy here and get
out a plan or We'll wake up and
find 1,5OO people drowned" Jadwin
said.
Reid then asked the Army engi-
neer chief if he thought the COM
mittee had suppressed information
about flood control proposals. The
word tilt followed.

Athletics Took Too Much of
Husbands Time, Young
Vile Explains.

In city hospital ward Mrs. Freda
Smith, II, 734 N Capitol Ave, is
ruefully recovering from the effects
Of poison taken last night when her
husband George, %, refused to take
her to a basketball game in which
he was playing.
Ever since he's been manager of
the team he's been so busy" said
the girl. Last night when asked
him to take me he refused and
wouldn't even give a reason. I felt
as if I couldn't stand it. I just
picked up the bottle and drank all
the contents as soon as he left"
After she had taken the poison
Mrs Smith went downstairs to talk
to the landlsdy, Mrs. w. E. Lam
phere. About ten minutes later she
began to cry and finally admitted
that she had tried to commit sui
eide. Police were notified and she
was rushed to the hospital, where
she is in a good condition today.
They we're married in Greenfield
about three months ago, with the
girls mother, Mrs. Henry M. An
ders of Shelbyville as witness.
They had known each other for two
months. Freda says that her hus-
bands devotion to athletics began
to be noticeable particularly about
six weeks ago.
"I try to please him. L love to
cook and have something different
for him every night. He doesn't
realize how lonely it is for me and
how much want to go with him.
I don't want to live if he doesn't
love me. I'm not sorry I tried to
die"
The husbands employers refused
to let a reporter talk with him. They
said he was deeply affected by his
Wife'S act.

Residence, Almost Finished,
Is Burned to Ground
During Night.

Fire, which officials believed might
be of incendiary origin because of
the large number of similar vacant
house incendiary fires here in the
last several years, destroyed the new
$4,000 home Of Daniel j. thinner
man, near Kessler Blvd. and Forty
Eighth ST., Tuesday night.
Nineteen other fires were reported
in the city since 7 a. m. Tuesday.
Zimmerman, a member of the
architectural firm of George and
Zimmerman, now living in the
Worthington Apis, COZ N. Alabama
ST., did not know of the fire until
he drove to the site of the house
with his Negro houseman this morn
ing. Instead of the new home into
which he hoped to move this week,
a smoldering mass Of ruins greeted
his eyes.
Carpenters Left in House
The hOuseman left the place at
p. m. Tuesday to visit a doctor
and stayed in town last night to at
tend the wedding of a sister. He
left two men doing carpenter work
in the kitchen.
Zimmerman considered driving
out to the house to turn off the
water when the mercury dropped
last night, but was persuaded to
continue card game with his wife
and sister.
He would have moved into the
house last week, but for trouble with
the pump. Part of the furniture
had been moved in. Only one-third
of the loss was covered by in
surance, Zimmerman said.
He doubted the possibility Of in
cendiary origin.
Because of the distance of the
house from the road, the blaze was
not discovered by passersby and
neighbors until we'll underway
about $3.50 p. m. The Indianapolis
fire department was not called.
Many Vacant Houses Burned
There have been $50 vacant house
fires in Negro residence districts
in the northeast and northwest
sections of the city in three years,
fire department officials said
Twelve new unoccupied south side
homes have been destroyed, prob
ably by pyromaniac, in that time
Police and fire department inves-
tigators have been unable to find
the person or persons responsible.
A Negro suspect is being questioned
about the Negro district fires, sew
eral of which occurred last week.
The Zimmerman residence is the
second large suburban home de-
stroyed by flames in month. The
$4,000 Brendenwood home of G. w.
Craig was burned a month ago.
This was not of incendiary origin.
Damage Is Slight
Most of the other nineteen fires
last night we're slight in damage,
mainly roof and flue fires.
A fire of unknown origin did $100
damage at the j. R. Hicks cleaning
establishment, 2451 w. Sixteenth ST.,
Tuesday afternoon. Two hundred
dollars damage was reported from a
fire at the American Speciality Com
pany plant, 201 w. Morris ST., at
3:15 a. m. today.

BANDIT PARADES VICTIM MILE
AT GUN POINT; STRIPS HIM OF CLOTHING

Police today are following clews
that may lead to capture of an
apparently crazed bandit, with a
mania for stripping his victims Of
their clothing and threatening their
lives.
William A. Geizendanner, %, of
1874 E. Tenth ST.. is the latest to
undergo this ordeal. He was forced
to walk more than a mile Tuesday
night, accompanied by the bandit,
pressing a revolver in his side and
muttering threats to shoot at every
step. He was in the gunman's pow
er for more than an hour, he told
police.
