KNAPP BURNED
CENSUS PAPERS,
SAYS JANITOR
Destroyed Her Records,
Worker Testifies

ALBANY, N. Y, May 24.-From
the lips of Hugh Hawthorne, jani-
tor at Syracuse University, the jury
at the second trial of former secre-
tary of state, Florence E. S. Knapp,
today heard how Mrs. Knapp her
self burned papers, which the prose
cution alleges were official census
records.
The first woman state official is
on trial second time on charge
of stealing thousands of dollars in
census funds.
Hawthorne, in addition to estab-
fishing that Mrs. Knapp herself had
burned census records, declared that
he had burned several boxes and
bundles containing records at her
direction. This is the second time
since the beginning of the Knapp case
that she has been directly connected
with the destruction of census rec
ords.
The specific charge against Mrs.
Knapp is that she stole $2,857 check
made out to her step-daughter, Mrs.
Clara Blanche Knapp, who declares
that she never did any census work.
Other evidence shows that Mrs.
Knapp obtained $4,000 of the $4,000
paid to her relatives whom she was
generous enough to place on the state
payroll.

HAYWOOD MEET
N. Y. Workers to Honor
Leader at Memorial

A call for members of the Interna-
tional Labor Defense to attend the
meeting at Central Opera House, 9th
st. and Third Ave-, Friday night, June
1st, to honor the memory of William
D. Haywood, Communist and founder
of the l. w. W., was issued by James
P. Cannon, executive secretary Of the
l. L. D., last night. Haywood died
May 18th in Moscow.
"All his life Haywood was an
enthusiastic supporter of the Interna-
tional Labor Defense" Cannon de-
clared ''In fact the I. L. D. was
launched after Haywood and several
other comrades, including myself, dis
cussed in Moscow the need of labor
defense organization in America.
ever since then he urged all work
ers to join the I. L. D. In a letter
some time ago, he wrote, 'Members!.
more members!'
Gone who has been placed in jeo-
pardy as l have must keenly feel the
power of organization. 1t was to an
expression of solidarity on the part
of the workers that l owe my life.
Haywood was a man of gigantic
energy. 1t was impossible to see him
and not learn from him. He influ-
enced every one in the labor move
ment. Only few months ago I went
to Walla Penitentiary to visit the L.
w. w. workers confined there. The
last thing they said to me when l left
was, Give our regards to Bill when
you write All of us will show our
regards for Bill June 1st."

Here within a stones throw of
the Alabama coal fields where labor
conditions for both races are so bad
that no sensible person would waste
time on differences of race or color,
Negro and white workers are separ-

and ignorance. Even organized Ne

apart. Old labor leaders say the
khan is responsible and thus seek to
evade responsibility.
in Mobile there is also a complete
estrangement between organized
Negro and white labor. White labor
officials are strongly opposed to
mixed unions and are even opposed
to receiving Negro delegates to the
Central Labor Union. The net re-
suit of this attitude on the part of
white labor officials is that Negro
workers are losing confidence in
unions.

since he left Sullivan. She was for

Cozart, a stock salesman, ten years
ago. He Swindled Sullivan County

Some that last twenty-four hours,

love is so full of sacrifice that the
lover might give up the person

BIOLOGISTS and Psychologists
- agree that the average man
does not reach his prime of fullest
development until the age of
forty. Durant intimates that he is
all through at thirty. Unless one
can love, one can not really love.
Love is the greatest of all outlets.
God help the person who is not
loving something or someone.
At all ages we have the over
whelming wish to belong to, to
be attached to, to love someone
else, to need and be needed.
This, regardless of age. is the
foundation of all and of any kind
of happiness. 1t would be quite
difficult to make a statement Of
any kind that could be so COM
pletely and fundamentally wrong
as the statement that, "a man
past thirty is incapable of love-"
First, we have the love of a
child for It's mother. This is based
on dependency, and becomes an
evil thing if it continues in the
form until manhood. 1t then be-
comes a mother fixation. 1t should
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1928-03-08

change gradually until this love
in adulthood finds its expression
in the dependency of the mother
upon the now grown-up child.
Second, we have the love of the
young child for itself. 1t begins
to express its own individuality.
This makes for difficult time for
parents, brothers and sisters. If
this Sel-love persists to adulthood,
it likewise, becomes an evil thing.
Third, comes the love of the
adoleScent boy and girl, in which
love is idealized until it amounts
to being in love with love-" This
is a fine and beautiful form of
love, and should never be made
the occasion of coarse or humor-
Gus remarks.

may degenerate into, fourth, q

THIS is the kind of love that
u brings us nearer to our God,
or whatever kind of God we may
have created for ourselves. 1t is
the most God-like thing Of which
humankind is capable.
And this greatest of all blessings
that can come to suffering hui
mankind is possible only to those
who have reached maturity, who
have had time to live and to love,
to give and to get, who have had
the cup of happiness held to their
lips and had 1t dashed away again,
who have seen others drinking of
this blessed cup while they were
parched with thirst.
This can be possible only to ma
ture adults Of above thirty. DR..

Several Hundred Men to Get
Work if Schedule of
Past Is Used.

Production will begin next month
vt the Ford Motor Car Company
assembly plant on E. Washington
ST., officials of the local Ford plant
believe.
Although no official word has
been received from Ford headquar-
tiers, local officials admitted today
that they expect to start work here
in April.
Their expectation Is based on the
announcement from Detroit Wednes-
day that seven Ford plants outside
Detroit are now in operation and
that fifteen plants will be at work
by the end of March.
Eight hundred men were en-
ployed at the local Indianapolis
assembly plant when its doors were
shut last June, as production of the
model T "f1ivver" was stopped.
There is no method of determin-
ing how many men opening of the
plant will give work, but at least
several hundred, If not the entire
force or a larger number, will be
employed, it is believed.
The hope of the local officials
that they will resume production in
April is based partly on the fact
that the Indianapolis assembly is
the fifteenth largest in the country
Unofficial word also was received
from Chicago recently that the e
Washington st. branch factory is
scheduled for opening soon after
the first fifteen.
Since the new model A flivveI
was exhibited to the public Dec. 2
the Fords delivered to Indianapolis
dealers have been shipped or driven
from Detroit and Louisville. The

In the field of philosophy, DR..
Will Durant has done a great
work in popularizing his speciality.
He has done more than a genera
ton of college professors of phi
losophy in giving to the mass of
people an understandable notion
of philosophy.
But, when he steps out of the
field in which he is an expert, he
is just as likely to make chump
of himself as the rest of us. Re-
Gently he made the extraordinary
statement that "a man past thirty
is incapable of love-"
In any discussion of the ques-
ton of love, DR.. Durant rates as
an amateur. He attempts to de-
fine Love" 1t can not be done.
