Loses Legs
Operation to Take Bow
Out of Girls Limbs
Is Costly.

By United Press
CHICAGO, FEB. Miss Sadie
~ Holland Of Detroit, who re-
Gently underwent and operation
to have her bow legs Strengthened,
today was said to be in a serious
condition, after gangrene had set
in, necessitating amputation OF
both legs.
Joseph I. Holland, the girls
brother, said the original opera
ton had been performed by a
plastic surgeon and that after
gargrene had developed, DR.. WY
liam Van Doren, a surgeon, was
called in.
The amputations were per-
formed by DR.. Paul Magnuson,
who had been called into confer
ence by DR.. Van Doren.
The brother of the young
woman explained the circum-
stances surrounding the case.
"She went to DR.. SchireSon to
have a burn on one of her shoul-
ders treated" he said. "He
treated that and then suggested
to her that it would be easy to
make her legs appear straight.
"CHE agreed to pay him $500
- for the work. AS I under
stand it, the large bone of each
leg was cut completely through
with an electric saw, and then a
plaster cast upon her leg.
"Next day the cast was taken
off because Of pain. At the fam
ily'S request, DR.. William Van
Doren went to see her and dis
covered she was infected danger
ously with gangrene."
DR.. Van Doren then called in
DR.. Magnuson. DR.. Van Doren ad-
mitted he was puzzled as to what
Strengthening effect could be
gained by saving through the
larger bone.
DR.. SchireSon came into promi-
nence some time ago when he
sued Lady Diana Manners for his
fee for work performed on her
face while she was playing in
"The Miracle" in Chicago. He
later displayed a check which he
said was payment for his work.
He also was said to have oper-
ated on the legs of Peaches"
Browning, removing fat from
them. Several attempts, au-
thorities said, have been made to
have his Illinois license revoked,
but all have failed.
DR.. SchireSon maintains Of
fees in both Chicago and New
York.

POLICE Open
BATTLE FOR
WAGE BOOST
PatroIman Refuses His Pay
Voucher as Opening Gun
in Court War.
SUIT WILL BE FILED
Legal Conflict Looms to
Force $110 a Year
Salary Tilt.

A legal battle to force the city to
pay the $110 annual salary in
creaseS to policemen and firemen,
eliminated last year by the State
tax board, was begun today.
If the movement is successful,
more than 100000 will be added
to city taxes in future years.
Patrolman Joseph Klaiber fired
the opening shot when he refused
to accept his January pay voucher
from City Controller Sterling r.
Holt on the ground that it did not
include the amount of the increase.
City council last year voted the in
crease, effective Jan. l, 1928.
Formal Notice Filed
Attorney Fred Bonnifield filed a
formal notice of the refusal of the
pay for Klaiber.
This, Bonnifield said, is prelim-
mary to the filing of a suit Thurs
day for a mandate to compel the
city to pay the increase.
If the policemen and firemen win
the suit, a financial tangle will arise.
The city provided for the increase
in fixing the 1923 tax levy, but the
state tax board cut the increase
from the budget and the levy had
TO be pared accordingly.
So, if the increase is granted bv
the courts, the city must economize
along other lines. to get the money
for the policemen and firemen.
Increase Is Fought
The Chamber of Commerce and
the Indiana Taxpayers Association
objected to the increase. declaring
indianapolis safety guardians al
ready are paid scale comparing IA
porabiy with other cities OF this
size.
The Increase amounts to $159 900
year.
City Controller Holt said: at will
not argue with any judge about 1t
If the suit is filed I will turn it over
to the legal department. If we lose.
we will find a way to pay the in
crease"
Councilman Otis E. Bartholoma,::
said he was not back of the suit,
but was in sympathy with it.
"The State tax board, an appoint
ed body, has no power to overthrow
a municipal budget by council of
elected officials, believe" he said.

phone to summon the police and
friends Of the family.
The first police on the scene found
no trace of Priddy, but while they
were examining the bodies, Priddy
walked in, looking haggard and
worn. He seemed cool, but his
hands f1uttered and twitched
nervouSly.
He sat down on a chair near a
typewriter and started to write out
a statement which police said
amounted to a confession of the
murders.
When Grimes reached the house,
Priddy was sitting in an easy chair
by the parlor window.
II will suffer no more in hell than
I do here on earth," Priddy said, in
a dull voice.

Dogs Mp Death

By United Press
WEST JULIAN, Iowa, Feb.
1.-Two dogs tagged a train
near here and saved the life of
their unconscious master.
G. F. Clark, farmer, fell un-
conscious as he started across a
railroad track. His two dogs,
"Treve" and Freckles," were
with him.
Treve sat down by the side of
his master and began to bark.
Freckles ran up the track to-
ward an approaching train.
The fireman, George Craft,
saw him coming, and looking
ahead saw "Treve" tugging at a
mans body. The engineer
stopped the train. AS the
engine slowed, Freckles ran
alongside barking and when it
stopped he dashed in front of it
and lay down.

lately he thought he detected signs
of nervous illness in his two sons.
He finally decided to kilI them all.
He lay awake worrying all last
night and early today crept into the
room where the boys were asleep in
their twin beds.
He killed them both with the AK
Then he entered the parlor, where
Mrs. Priddy, lying on the floor, was
taking her morning exercises as di-
rections came over the radio. He
hit her on the head with the AK.

Neighbors told State Trooper An
drew Grimes that the relationship
between the father and mother
seemed amicable and that the two
boys seemed devoted to their
parents. The family came to the
place about five months ago, from
Brooklyn.
Francis Gray, foreman at the
concrete products plant, stopped at
the Priddy home this morning on
the way to work, as was his custom.
Finding no sign of activity about
the house, he was puzzled. He
looked in through the ground floor
window and saw Mrs. Priddy lying
dead in the sun parlor.
Gray smashed window, jumped
into the room and, after a hurried
