Attorneys for James Britt, Negro

East Chicago, a deputy sheriff, plans
a series of moves to save his life.
The first of these will probably be
motion for a new trial.
Self defense was the plea of Britt
at his trial. Goldberg was shot
while attempting to arrest the
Negro on charge Of carrying a
concealed weapon.
For a time after the Staying, much
interest was shown in the case,
owing to the fact that Goldberg was
a witness before the federal grand
jury at South Bend which returned
liquor law indictments against about
300 persons in the Calumet district.
It developed at the trial that there
was no connection between the slay-
ing and Goldberg's appearance be-

INDIANA BONDED
DEBT LEAST IN
ENTIRE COUNTRY
Each HooSier Man, Woman
and Child Owes Only
a Dime.

Indiana is one of the few states
whose gross bonded debt has re-
mained stationary for several years
and its outstanding obligations of
$4,000 now represents an average
debt of 10 cents for every inhabitant
of the state. None of the forty-four
debtor states the Union have a
3maller gross Indebtedness or a lower
per capita debt.
These figures are given in a ma
tional survey completed by the Bank
of America, New York, which reveals
that the state governments of the
United States have a gross bonded
debt of $2,142,0O7, ,491, or $17.84 per
capita.
Half of this debt has been in.
Cured since 1922 and although the
e*NhteaS month period from Janu-
ary, 1923, to July of this year, wit
messed the issuance Of approximately
$257 100000 worth of new bonds as
compared with redemptions of only
$50, 100000, the rate of debt increase
has not been as rapid as in years
Immediately preceding.
Road and Bridge Cost Most
In studying the purposes for
which states have incurred indebt-
edneSs, the bank found that so per
cent of the total debt outstanding
was accounted for by highway and
bridge construction. Only "a per
cent of the debt in 1922 represented
expenditures for highways, but the
demands for this purpose have risen
steadily and of the total debt in
crease of $170, ,653, 1924 since January,
1923, highways are responsible for
99.3 per cent. 1t is also significant
that Of this recent increase, IS per
cent represents highway bonds is
sued by seven southern states.
The second most important pur-
pose for which states have contract
ed bonded debts is payment of
soldiers bonuses. The total for this
purpose stands at $272,086,260, or
1877 per cent of the entire debt, but
is being reduced steadily. Water
ways and harbors account for $231,-
055, 800, or 1913 per cent of the debt.
Only $37, ,743,7 TAP, or 1.8 per cent, was
incurred for educational purposes.
New York Debt Largest
Five states have obligations of
more than $100,000,000 and these
are in order of their debt: New
York, 1855, ,223,0O0; Illinois, $201 1885,
500; North Carolina, $165,342, 900;
Massachusetts, $125,217,662, and Cal
ifornia, $121, ,176,000. On a per capita
basis the ranking is quite different.
South Dakota has been reducing
her debt, but still leads with 5000.
Oregon follows with debt of $68.71
for every man, woman and child
in the state. Others having large
per capita debt are: North Caro-
lima, $56.27; North Dakota, $500,
and Delaware, $50.62. Florida, Ken
lucky, Nebraska and Wisconsin
have no bonded debt.
The Pacific group Of states COM
prising washington, Oregon and
California have the highest per
capita debt of any section, the
bank finds by grouping, according
to geographical areas of the coun-
try The New England states have
the second highest and the lowest
is found in the Mountain group.
Six of the nine groups have in
creased their per capita debt since
January, 1928.

FIGHT AGAINST
HENRY SHUMAN
Former Farm Leader to Be
Accused Again at
Anderson.
Bv Times Special

AH 4 &MgS SDGCt0E
ANDERSON, Ind, Dec. 7.-Henry
Shuman. former president and pur-
chasing agent of the Madison Coun-
ty Farm Bureau, has won another
legal battle, but the end OF his
troubles are not in sight
Following the quaShing in city
court of an affidavit charging Shu-
man with embezzlement Of So
727.23 of the farm organizations
funds in one count and grand lar
ceny of the same amount in a Sec
ond count, Prosecuting Attorney Os-
valid Ryan announces he wor'1 f1n
the same charges in Madison circuit
court.
Caught After Flight
Shuman disappeared in July, 1927,
but was arrested two weeks later at
Macon. Ga, when he called at the
poStoffice for a letter, and was re-
| turned here to face a charge of false
pretense based on transaction in
volving the sale of a crop Of barley
from his farm first to the Lapel Ele-
vator Company and later to the
Yelling Milling Company of Ander-
son. He was freed of this charge
in city court and after beiuc in
dicted by the county grand jury
for the same alleged offenSe he es-
capped on a technicality.
Judge Salyer quaShed the first
count of the affidavit on the
grounds that the statute of linita-
tionS expired eleven days before the
charge was filed, overruling the
prosecuting attorney who argued
that the last legislature extended
the salute of limitations on embez-
Element cases from two years to five
years.
Prosecutor Protests
The second count was quaShed for
the same reason. The prosecuting
attorney cited in this instance that
the statute of limitations on grand
larceny had always been five veors
and not two years as the court con-
tended. Judge Salyer also held the
affidavit was not properly drawn.
"The ruling will have no legal af-
feet on the case," Ryan said. "The
charges will be relied in circuit
court and treated as if they had
never been filed in city court"
The courtroom was filled with
farmers when the charges were dis
missed.
Directors of the farm organization
recently won a suit against a surety
bonding company, which had re-
fused to make settlement for the
amount Of the shortage in Shu-
mans accounts. This case was
heard by Federal Judge Robert c.
BaltzeI.

Daily Commitments Rise
From 100 to 115
a Month.

Insanity Is increasing among
HoosierS, it was revealed in the an
nual report of John A. Brown, sec
retary Of the state charities board.
An average of lis persons 2
month was admitted to the five
state hospitals for the insane dur
ing the year ended Sept. 80, as COM
pared to the average of 100 month
that has prevailed for the past sew
eral months, the report says.
Commitments during the year
totaled 1888 and of that number
1,137 had no previous hospital rec
ords. Ninety-f1ve per cent of the
total were white persons and SO per
cent native born. The number of
males committed was only slightly
larger than the number of females.
There were TOT men and BOYS in
cluded in the total and 681 women
and girls.
80 to 60 Danger Ages
Persons between the ages of 30
and so are more susceptible to in
sanity than at any other ages, the
report showed. Of the total COM
mitments, BIT were between 80 and
60; 326 were 60 years or more; POT
from 20 to 80 years and thirty eight
under 20 years.
TWenty-three per cent of the total
were dementia praecox cases, the
largest single group. For two pre-
ceding years this group constituted
II per cent OF the first admission.
None From Union County
Patients we're received from every
county in the state during the year,
with the exception of Union county.
Every county, however, was repre-
sented in one or the other five hos
pitfalls on Sept. 80, 1929. There was
a total of 6,675 patients in the hos
pitfalls on that date, an increase of
220 over the same day in 1923. There
were 573 deaths during the year.
The hospitals had an average daily
population of $3.50.
The five larger counties were rep
resented as follows: Marion, 1872;
Lake, 373; Allen, 293; st. Joseph,
263, and Vigo, 259. The counties
represented by the fewest inmates
were Ohio, eleven; Brown and
Union counties, twelve each.
An inventory of the five institu-
tions showed property and equip
ment valued at $9,739, 200. The
maintenance cost was $1,672,4 Asa, an
average of 10 cents day a patient.
