TWO KILLED IN
AUTO MISHAPS
Bodies MutiIated, Burned
Motor Crash.

Two men were killed Instantly
and their bodies mutilated and
burned Thursday night when the
automobile in which they we're rid
ing crashed into a stalled lumber
truck near New Bethel and took
fire.
Those killed were: Edgar Brown,
%, of 1865 Southeastern avenue, and
James w. Hodges, So, of the same
address. Both were decapitated and
driven through the rear of their
car when lumber ends protruding
from the truck crashed through the
windshield.
The crash occurred soon after 6
p. nj. when William Stakely, 20, of
730 East Michigan street, halted
his truck to adjust shifting lumber.
Stakley, a former pugilist who
fought under the name of Bobby
Lee, was held on manslaughter
charges in default of $4,000 bond.
Deputy sheriffs said the tail light
on the truck was not lighted.
BrWn and Hodges both were en-
ployed at the Belmont avenue yards
of the Pennsylvania railroad.
Hodges is survived by the widow
and three children, Cleo, Is, Lucille,

NUDE MAN IN TAXI
is CHASED BY COPS

A naked man in a taxicab en-
acted a modern masculine takeoff
on Lady Godiva's horseback ride,
startled Washington street crowds
and provoked a frenzied police
chase five miles to Irvington this
morning.
From confinement in Indiana
Christian hospital, where he was
under treatment for nervous dis
orders, the hero of the piece,
jumped to the ground from his first
floor window, clad only in a sheet;
abandoned even this in his dash
through the chilly morning atmos-
phere down Senate avenue to
washington street and east to the
Claypool, where he Communicated
a taxicab with such vehemence
that the driver didn't argue.
First word came to police head
quarters from the hospital where
nurses excitedly recounted the
escape, shortly after s a. m.

DROPS GAS SUIT
WithdraWS Action to Avoid
Confusing Issues

Suit to obtain judicial construc-
ton of the 1905 gas franchise was
withdrawn in superior court four
Thursday afternoon by John P.
Sears, local real estate man, who
filed the suit Monday.
The suit was brought under the
declaratory Judgment statute OF
1927 to have the court give con-
firmation of the city's right to take
over the Citizens Gas Company and
operate it.
George A. Sheehan of the law
firm of Harvey & Sheehan, who
filed the suit for Sears, said he will
cooperate with former corporation
counsel, John w. Hoffman, and
Fred G. Cause, special counsel for
the city in the case.
Sears attorneys said the case was
withdrawn to prevent confusion of
the issues. They also stated that
they believed the declaratory judg-
ment statute offers ample means of
getting a final pronouncement on
the issues"

the naked figure racing madly down
the street.
Girls, scampering to their type
writer's, took one f1eeting look and
pulled coat collars over their faces.
Men saw and gaSped.
Police dispatched a motor team to
the hospital. Then another to give
chase. More telephone calls re-
ported the swift progress eastward
of the taxicab with its strange
passenger in utter dishabille.
Police barked directions to an east
side substation for another motor
team to block the taxicab's course.
Still another carload of bluecoatS
dashed from police station to give
pursuit.
But the taxi, with its Shivering
passenger, reached its destination
ahead of pursuers. The fugitive
dashed from the cab into an Irving
ton home, where relatives refused
to surrender him to police for re-
turn TO the hospital.

Jury Hears Evidence After
Trip Where Body Was
Found.
BY ARCH STEINEL
Times staff Correspondent

ELKHART, Ind, Jan. 4.-TeSti-
mony by which the state hopes to
send Harvey L. Smith, ex-sleuth
and carnival barker, to the cleo
trio chair for the murder of Mrs.
Genevieve Suits was continued in
Elkhart suprior court here today.
AS the jurors listen to the evil
dence there is picture in their
minds of what they saw Thursday
night when they visited newly
plated addition near here and stood
beside the spot where Mrs. Suits
body was found covered with lime,
Oct. 16, six months after she dis
appeared from Mishawaka, where
she operated beauty parlor.
Snow kindly hid some of the
grimness of the first grave of
Cen Suits, the sweetheart for
four years of Charles Reyher, South
Bend real estate man, the victim OF
a slayer after his wife, Mrs jamie
Reyher had paid Smith $50 to get
her out of town and away from
Reyher. The jurors were silent as
they viewed the grewsome spot.
Students Attend Trial
look! See, that's Smith. Isn't
good looking, is hep" is q, sample
of what was heard in stage whis-
pers during the morning session OF
the trial. which was witnessed by
thirty boys and girls, seniors from
Wakarusa high school, who attend
ed as a part of their studies In
civics.
The defense lost on two objec-
lions, being overruled by Judge Will
liam Hile on points involving its
contention that the body found In
the lime grave was not that OF Mrs
Stults.
The state offered in evidence a
wrist watch, rosary, diamond ring,
brooch and 1904 in currency found
with the body. Defense counsel OBJ
iected, asserting the state had not
proved the body was Mrs. Suits.
The court overruler the objection.
When Frank NJ. Quick, Elkhart
policeman, was asked by the prose-
cution to identify a skull as that
from the body he helped to disin-
ter. the defense's objection on the
same ground as that referring to
the jewelry and money, was over
ruled.
No Statement by Defense
No opening statement was made
by the defense when the trial prop
er opened Thursday afternoon fol-
lowing completion of a jury.
Glen Sawyer, prosecuting attor-
ney, in opening the case for the
state, traced the love affair Of Rey-
her and Mrs. Stults and Of Mrs.
Reyhers negotiations with Smith to
scare away Mrs. Suits. He said
Smith had talked with the beauty
parlor operator in an endeayor to
get her to take a ride in Reyher's
car; that when she consented she
was accompanied by "a tall man
and short man"

CITY HOSPITAL
HOPES TO GET
MODEL PLANT
Power Unit Removal From
Vicinity of Wards Is
Contemplated.
URGE HIGHER BUILDINGS
Pavilion Type of Structure
Declared Less Efficient,
After Study.

Location of the new city hospital
power unit a block southwest of the
present group of buildings is con-
templated by the city health board.
The proposed power plant will be
in vicinity of the Riley hospital
power unit, providing advantages in
many respects for both institutions.
Removal of the power unit from
the immediate vicinity of the hos
pital buildings will eliminate smoke
and noise, according to Dr. Fred
erick E. jackson, health board presi-
dent.
ut is planned to have physical
contact between the two plants, so
that both institutions could be
served by one power plant in event
OF breakdown" DR.. Jackson said.
1t is likely that a railroad switch
will be located between the two
structures, making coal and other
supplies more available.
Start Soon on Plans
G. r. zimmerman, consulting en-
gineer, and Robert Frost Daggett,
architect, are expected to begin
drawing plans for the proposed
100000 plant in the near future.
Dr. Christopher w. Parnell,
Rochester, N. Y, consultant for the
hospital building program, arrived
here today to finally approve tenta-
tive specifications for the structure.
The old power plant at city hos
pital needs to be replaced, according
to DR.. William A Doeppers, city
hospital superintendent.
The hospital might be crippled
seriously in event of a serious break
Gown of the old machinery, he said.
Departure from the pavilion type
Of construction at the hospital is
being discussed, in connection with
plans for proposed new units, ac-
cording to health board members.
Proves More Efficient
Construction of the higher struc-
lures, has proved more efficient than
the pavilion style, Dr. jackson said.
He has visited many hospitals in
this country and Europe.
ut has been found that the con-
centrated type structure with several
ward connected by elevators is far
more satisfactory for disqualification
purposes" DR.. Jackson said.
"Under the pavilion system, 1t is
difficult to move patients to and
from the surgery to the wards"
Any new structures would be
worked into" the present hospital
plan, to make proper use of the
present buildings. In event struc-
ture several stories in height should
be built, the distant wards would be
used to house patients who could be
moved without injury or did not
need surgical attention.
Several extra wards, including
new contagious unit, and a surgical
unit probably would be included in
any contemplated structure.
Society to Raise 100000
The Flower Mission Society is ex-
pected to raise about 100000 for
tuberculosis unit, which will be
dedicated to the city and operated
by the health authorities.
Efforts are being made to obtain
government appropriation for a.
veterans hospital to house Indiana
ex-service men who need hospital
ization.
Architects and DR.. Parnell, hos
pital consultant, have conferred
with the health board members with
the view to making city hospital
complete in every respect.
