Cuba Uses Old Spanish
 Carrote for Executions

HAVANA, May 31.-The one machine that the Spaniards are credited with having imported into Cuba 134 years ago is still in use.
 It is the "garrote," instrument of death, which greatly resembles an old picture of an Inquisition machine of torture. For many years the garrote served the Spaniards, dealing death to Gu ban rebels. Since the expulsion of the old world rulers it has been used at the Havana peni- tentiary as the official instru- ment of execution.
 No place but in Cuba is the garrote used officially in execu- tions. A prisoner operates the beheading device and, gets money and whose time is decreased in compensation for his services.
 The Havana garrote is said to have taken 184 lives since 1t has been in Cuban use. Before that 1t was used in executing Span iards accused of high treason.

MINERS LOSE
 TIE FOR TOP
 BY ELkS' WIN
Bills Take First Victory in
 Rainstorm Rally Dur ing Third Inning

Five runs by the Bills in the third inning of a fiva-inning fra cas- between the Eiks and the Alaska Juneau, playing off post poned game in the City League, proved too much for the Miners and pushed them off the double seat at the top of the ladder, leaving the American Legion un- disputed leaders. The final score was Elks 5, Alaska Juneau 2.
 Just as the game began heavy rain made it's appearance and kept up steadily until the contest was more than half over. In spite of the weather a good brand of ball was exhibited, and large number of spectators were on hand to watch the Elks win their first mixup
 With the exception of that one inning, the pitchers were the cen ter of attraction, Andrews having a slight edge over MacSpadden Each allowed but two hits, each had one strikeout, but Andy walk ed only three, while Big Mac passed five, had one wild pitch chalked up against him and was responsible for one batter being hit.
 The muckers scored in the first when Watts, second man up, was passed to first. He stole second and Jackson, in an attempt to get him at second, hit Watts on the shoulder. The ball went over the second baseman's head and Scott who backed him up, let the peg go through and Watts continued to third. He scored a moment later when Koski failed to hold Habenicht's fly to left field. Nc Closkey was out, Andrews to Jackson, and Habenicht was tag ged at third a moment later on Blake's throw to Henning.
 Blake, first man up for the Bills in the third, hit clean single inside first base. He went tC second when Big Mac threw 8 close one to the plate, the ball go ing past Little Mac as Coughlin batter, jumped aside to let the ball past. The catcher did not have a fair chance at the ball Coughlin was safe at first when Robertson threw wild to first Blake going to third on the play Robertson, third base, and Bent ley, rightfield, switched positions Coughlin stole second.

Supreme Court Holds Case
Against Alleged Liquor.
Maker insufficient.

Because John Baugh's 82-year-
old mother claimed ten quarts of
peach brandy found in his fathers
farmhouse in Monroe County be-
longed to her and because officers
were unable to prove white mule,
parts of a still and mash found 200
yards of the house belonged to him,
Baugh won a reversal of his Mon
roe Circuit Court liquor conviction
in the Supreme Court.
Baugh was convicted on three
counts, possession, manufacture and
operation of still. He was fined
$50 and sentenced to thirty days
imprisonment on the first two
counts and given a sentence from
one to five years on the third count.
According to evidence of officers
who raided the farm, they found the
brandy and a gallon glass jug hold
ing about a spoonful of mule in the
house. A 50-gallon barrel of what
appeared to be dry cracked corn, a
barrel of mash and five gallons OF
mule were found about 200 yards
from the house with parts of still.
Baugh sells milk and meat and
is the sole support of his parents, he
set forth.
Judge Clarence r. Martin wrote

TOOK DOCTORS ADVICE
COLD GONE NEXT DAY
lany Here Find Way to End
Colds Overnight at Home
by Hospital Tested Method

BY taking the advice of her doc
tor and using a method that has
relieved even the most extreme
hospital cases, Miss Agnes L.
White, like numbers of Indianapolis
people, found the quickest way to
get rid of stuffy cold.
Miss White, for example, had
neglected her cold several days in
the hope that it would clear up of
its own accord. Instead, it started
settling in her nose passages and
chest. She began to feel feverish,
and finally called the clinic for ad-
vice, when her mother feared
pneumonia.
Relief began almost Immediate
ly when doctors gave her double
doses of Ayers Cherry Pectoral-a
concentrated mixture of wild
cherry, terpin-hydrate and other in
gradients used in treating even the
most extreme hospital cases. She
felt its comforting warmth instant
ly-from her nose passages deep
down into her chest. In few hours
the redneSS of her eyes was gone;
her nose passages began to clear
UP and in another day or so, doc
tors report, the cold was complete
ly gone.

DELAY SEEN IN
SELECTION OF
COLISEUM SITE
Slack Apparently Against
Action Until He Can
Study Matter.

Selection of the site for the pro-
posed municipal coliseum may be
delayed by Mayor L. Ert Slack, it
was believed at City Hall today.
President j. Edward Krause has
called the next meeting of the
coliseum board for Jan. "a to con-
slider site selection. Mayor Slack,
who attended his first meeting
Tuesday, announced some business
men wanted to appear before the
board on general coliseum mat
ters." Slack said he promised them
an audience at the next meeting.
Krause said he did not under
stand how anyone in the COM
munity could be uniformed on the
coliseum subject, since it had been
discussed for twenty-five years.
Doubts Their Substance
cit is impossible for me to be-
lieve that anyone who has had a
part in shaping the city's affairs
still could be asking Why a
coliseum Mr. Mayor, I'll not ask
their names. but are they sub
stantial citizens?" Krause in
quired.
II thought they were substantial
or I would not have suggested they
appear before this body" Slack re-
torted
Stacks platform for Indianapolis
contained this plank, Advance our
reputation as convention city and
build an adequate coliseum on a
carefully selected Site" but Slack
has not promised to erect the mu-
nicipal building during his admins
tration.
The present board, named by John
L. Duvall, former mayor, worked
tremendously for several months,
finally narrowing the sites to three
possible locations. The board per-
sonnet frequently has changed with
the numerous city hall Shakeups.
Would Study Further
1t is believed Slack will not ap-
prove selection of the site at the
next meeting, but will insist on
further study of possible locations
in accordance with his own ideas.
Realtors argued for the three re-
manning sites, bounded by:
Alabama, New Jersey, Ohio and
Market SITS.
Vermont, New York, Alabama and
New Jersey SITS.
Pennsylvania, Delaware, North
and Walnut SITS, facing the Indiana
World War Memorial Plaza.

VIOLENT DEATH
|NCREASELAID
TO HOME LIFE
so Per Cent More Murders
Committed Last Year,
Coroner Reports.

Lack of old-fashioned home train
ing and the fast PAGES of modern
life were blamed for large increase
in murders and suicides in Marion
County in 1927, in the annual re-
port Of Coroner Charles H. Keever
today.
An increase of almost SO per cent
in murders last year over 1926 was
shown. There were forty-two muir
ders in 1927 to twenty eight in the
preceding year Suicides for 1927
jumped from fifty-three to eighty
six. Three children were murdered
in 1927, while one child committed
suicide, the report showed.
Home Life Blamed
Keever said that the increase in
murders and suicides was not only a
local affair, but was noticeable
through the country.
THE social condition of many of
the homes and the almost nerve
racking pace people are living in is
responsible for the increase" Keever
said. In many cases there is no

make crime increase"
Seven hundred flfty-Six persons
met violent death, the report shows.
The coroner interviewed 4,218 per-
sons in an effort to place RESPONSE
bility for the deaths. In 1926 2,434
witnesses were heard in TIA cases.
During the year, 156 persons, in
Guiding 124 adults and thirty-two
children, met violent death, CLASH
fled as miscellaneous deaths" in the
report. The Graystone Hotel fire,
Nov. Is, when eight adults and one
child lost their lives, was the great
est contributor to this classification,
the report said.
Fifty-One Pedestrians Die
Twenty-four persons were killed
in interurban-automobile accidents
during 1927. Of this number twen-
ty were killed in the Sahara Grotto
accident at Emerson Ave. and the
Union Traction Company line. Five
persons were killed in interurban
crashes, six persons in street car ac-
cidentS and one person in street
car-automobile accident.
Automobile accidents were re-
sponsible for the deaths of eighty
one, of whom fifty-one were pedes-
TRANS and thirty passengers. Twen-
ty-four persons met death in rail-
road accidents. while five were
killed in automobile-tr crashes.
Keever's report shows that there
were lot autopsies held in 1927 COM
pared with ninety-ei the previous
year. The report shows that 129
more cases were taken care of in
the last six months than in the first
of 1927. Keever was appointed
coroner in July taking the place of
DR.. Paul F. Robinson, who was IA
tally injured in a nautomobile acct
dent in June.
Assisting the coroner are DR.. Otto
H. Bakemeier and Lawrence A.
