the Traction Terminal Bldg.
Reports for the year ending Dec.
81, 1927, were presented by Secre-
tary- Treasurer Joseph A. Nc
GoWan.
Lay Blame to Autos
Failure to declare dividends was
attributed to increased use of auto
mobiles. The report explained this
in the paragraph that follows:
THE company is still confronted
with the constantly increasing use
of privately owned automobiles,
which results in a corresponding de-
crease in the number OF passengers
riding the street cars. This has
seriously affected the street railway
earnings and has made it impossi-
BILE to pay dividends"
Attention was called to various
Improvements made on the physical
properties of the company during
1927, including the five new sub
stations that we're put into use.
MCGOWAN Secretary Treasurer

PATR0LMEN WARNED
CITY CRIME MUST GO
District Men Growing Lax, Worley
Says in Bulletin.

Crime must be halted. "a-foot or
horseback" rules Police Chief Claude
M. Worley, but patrolmen walking
their beats must not expect the
riding squads" to do all the arrest
ing, he insists.
"a very close watch must be kept
on suspected places where violations
of the liquor laws, gambling and
offenses leading to statutory charges
go on Worley said in a bulletin
read TO the men at roll call today.
District men are growing lax
in this work and they are to be held
responsible.
Some of the men of this depart
ment might expect to appear in my
office or before the board of safety
for explanation of arrests made by
squads in their districts, and I am
giving fair warning now that I ex-
pect rigid law enforcement"

enson aid and political henchman,

Motions in arrest of judgment
and for new trial were denied. The
case will be appealed to the ST.

stated
Klinck was found guilty by a
jury after ten-ml lutes elaboration
Tuesday.
Charged With Conspiracy
He was charged with conspiracy
In the fraudulent use of a notary
seal in making false affidavit. The
affidavit purported to be that of
William Rogers denying testimony
regarding Senator Watson's Khan
card given before the Reed COM
mittee and declaring that the
matter had been framed" by
Editors Boyd Gurley of The Indian
epolis Times and Thomas H. Adams
OF the Vincennes Commercial.
Prosecutor William H. Remy in
addressing final remarks to the
jurymen, pointed out that Klinck
was the tool of political powers who
wanted to "get" Gurley and Adams.
In a dramatic moment he named
the man who took the false affidavit
to the grand jury and attempted
to have the two editors, leaders in
Indiana's political corruption clean
up campaign, indicted. 1t was
George v. Coffin, then Marion
County Republican chairman and
since promoted to head of the dis
trict organization, he said.
Spent Night in Jail
The case had come to an abrupt
close Tuesday when the defense
rested without putting a single wit
ness on the stand. They had stated
they would have between twenty
five and thirty"
Remy gave his closing argument
at noon, the jury went to lunch, re-
turned, and after a single ballot,
according to reports, brought in the
guilty verdict.
Klinck was then turned over 10
Sheriff Omer Hawkins and spent
the night in Marion County jail. He
was formerly deputy sheriff.
Appeal bond was placed at $4,000
by the judge today when defense
counsel objected to Remy's sugges-
ton that it be $4,000. Klinck was
expected to be able to post the bond
before the day closed, his attorney

TOES RULE DIGESTION!

English OsteOpath Says Feet Out
of Line Disturbs Stomach.
BIZ United Press
LONDON, June 13.-If you walk
with your toes turned in, you don't
suffer from indigestion. If you walk
with the foot digits turned outward,
however, according to Capt. Lowry,
English osteopath, your digestion is
impaired
Toes pointed outward cause the
body to be thrown out of alignment.
That affects the hip bone, which in
turn articulates the spine. Trouble
at the back of the spine affects the
nervous system and then starts your
stomach trouble. All very clear if
you believe it.

Riba Truck Takes Wild Run
Down Long Mcintosh Hill

The first of the week Gus Riba of
the Riba State Bank rented a Ford
truck from an owner who had come
in from outside the state for the pur-
pose of hauling grain, and placed Mr..
Bray of Comertown on it to haul
wheat from farm south Of Plenty
wood.
While coming down the Mcintosh
hill the low gear slipped out of mesh
and the car gained Roadway with
every foot traversed. Mr.. Bray held
valiantly to the wheel but when the
truck reached the turn at the foot of
the hill it hurled itself over the en-
bankment throwing the plucky driver
out and spreading the wheat which
was in the truck over the ground for
yards.
When Bray recovered from the
shock ne found the truck was an al
most complete wreck, and he consid-
cred himself fortunate to get out of
the wreck with only a few scratches
and sore muscles.
This is the third Ford truck This
season to run away after the low gear
became disengaged and drivers Are
cautioned to keep a careful watch on
their machines while going dowr
