His mother will take the stand

her record as an inmate of the Ar
kansas Insane Asylum will be in
troduced."
Three prominent alienists, who
are to be called by the State when

dition.

Feq0er CarDeathS, More
Injured Than Last Year
SiXty-FiVe Die in Crashes,
1891 Hurt, Police
Report Shows.

More persons were injured in
automobile accidents in Indianapolis
last year than the year before, but
fewer persons were killed, accord
ing to the annual report of Lester
E. Jones, captain Of traffic in the DO
lice department.
There were 1891 persons injured
in 1927, an increase of $50 over the
previous year, but only sixty-fve
were killed, a decrease of eleven.
The sixty-five include nine chill
dren. No accident reports were re-
ceived from the School Patrol Boys
posts Of school children injured.
Increase Speeding Arrests
Six horses were purchased during
1927 to Argument the squad of ten
mounted police. The entire squad
was commended foc it's work in the
district hit by the tornado this sum-
mer.
The purchase of twelve new mo-
torcycles probably had direct bear
ing on the increase of 1873 in speed
ing arrests. More than 1000 mo-
torists fell into the hands of the
squad for stepping on the gas" The
total of $3.50 arrests for 1927 topped
1925 by 705. with some more new
motorcycles we could-but we won't
go into that now," said Captain
Jones.
The motor mounted squad was
useful in chasing bandits, investi-
eating hold-ups, patrolling streets
and experimenting gatherings of
motor vehicles. Many times in 1927
they headed parades.
More than 500 gallons of paint
were used by the traffic department
in 1927. They literally painted the
town with yellow marks at intersec-
tons and safety zones and traffic
signals.
Traffic Fine Total Less
Unfortunate bearers of little yell
low stickerS boosted the city income
500, 746-18,000 traffic notices were
distributed.
Last year saw 6,341 more motor
vehicles on Indianapolis streets, but
motorists paid $1,507 less in fines.
But Hoosiers were not charita-
bic in spite of the decreased fines.
There was 1863 Infatuated citizens
complaining to the accident preven-
ton bureau compared with 715 in
1925.
The accident prevention bureau
spoke over the two local radio sta
ty-one meetings for 81, 1854 school

children, and almost that many for
1882 adults.
Their work bore fruit, tabulations
showing a decrease of 1895 in acct

with increased personnel eff
cheney, new equipment and higher
morale, we hope this year to pass
the record of 1927" said Captain

SHIFT SCHOOL FUNDS
Board to Run System on
Calendar Year.

Proposed readjustment of budget
funds arranged by school board
members Monday will be submitted
to the Indian Taxpayers Association
and to the Indianapolis Chamber Of
Commerce for consideration, said A.
F. Walsman, business director, today.
The board cut $4,000 from various
funds, $4,000 of which is to be
transferred to other small funds and
$4,000 to be added to the build
ing repair and improvement fund,
which already is ovedrawn $4,000.
Decision to operate schools on the
calendar year has been reached. To
accomplish this, the board on July l
will appropriate for only six months,
instead of for the year, and then
Jan. /, 1929, will appropriate for
the calendar year 1929.
Much confusion has been occa-
stoned in the past by school depart
ments being forced to operate from
July l until after the budget is made
in the fall without appropriations
being made in advance.

there was a tremendous roar.
Lindbergh is undetermined when
he will leave Panama and just what
his next stop will be- He plans to
rest here for few days.
Last night he attended a recep-
ton given by President CHAR and

Panama, which visited when the
Panama Canal was being built" the
flying colonel said.
"My flight convinces me that an
air may system between the United
States and Panama is entirely feas-

good for such short notice and with
slight Improvements will make
first class airport.
Throughout Central America I
have found nothing but the most
friendly feeling toward the United
States"
