GRAHAM CHALLENGES
REGISTRAR CHANGES
FAVORED BY bonner
Motor Vehicle Department Head
Declares Senator's Plan
lmpracticable

w. S. Graham. state motor vehicle
registrar. in a statement made here
today. takes issue with State Senator
Arthur F. Bonner, ~Lidgerwood, over
the relative merits Of the present
system Of registering motor vehicles
and one which the legislator from the
9th district is credited with pro-
posing.
Graham's statement follows:
Senator A. F. Bonzer, according
to an article appearing in the Rich
land County Farmer-Globe Wahpe-
ton, recently, is planning a change III
the method of issuing motor VENICE
license plates. Among the changes
recommended by him is having the
counties collect the license fee and IN
that way make the registrar merely
all overseer of the work, thus eliml-
mating the staff of 200 or 300 clerks
and a dozen special officers now en-
gagged in the work" Senator Bonzer
pointed out that the county officers
would be much closer in touch with
the matter and the county could in
crease the efficiency of the collectors
many fold, beside decreasing the cost
Of collecting.
Declares Figures Exaggerated
The compositor, proof reader or
Senator Bonzer, seems to have mad
vertently. perhaps, distorted the tlg-
ures in speaking of the number OF
clerks and special agents in the motor
vehicle department. The number OF
clerks in the department is between
20 and 30 instead Of between 200 or
300. In connection with the dozen
special officers spoken of that now
are engaged in the work OF enforcing
the law, there has never been 10
than four, sometimes none, and part OF
the time only two or three during the
year. It is safe to say that cost
would not be diminished by assign
ing tags to automobile owners
through county auditors.
"As to increasing the efficiency OF
So auditors, who, under the proposed
plan, would be merely deputy regis
trars in the collection OF the auto
mobile tax, the law now provides that
it is the duty of the county commits
sioners, sheriffst and other county Of
ficers of each county to enforce the
motor vehicle registration law.
Whether assigning license plates from
the county auditors office would have
a tendency to increase the efficiency
in enforcing the law remains to be
seen. A number Of the representa-
tives advance the argument that the
law can be better enforced by other
than local officers.
Wouldn't Change Department
Even if the proposed plan of issu-
ing licenses from the county auditors
offices is adopted, the department
here must function about as 1t has
in the past. It would be necessary to
maintain the force in order to issue
titles to motor vehicles and to make
copies of records to be forwarded to
various county auditors Of the state
The work in the department here is
done by trained workers on book
keeping machines and for that rea-
son the work of assigning license
plates is more efficient than can pos

Firemen Twice Called;
Stop Basement Blaze

The fire department was called out
twice. this morning, but was able to
give service on one call only.
The first summons, shortly before
6 a. M, was so indefinite to the effect
that a gas house was on fire that a
run was made TO the gas plant on
the south side, then it was learned
that a valve test shelter near the In
dian school was burning. BY the
time the firemen reached the Indian
school there was no test house to
save.
The next call was at Z o'clock and
was due to an overheated furnace in
the basement of Mrs. Mary Meyers
home, 813 Thayer. setting fire to a
paper-covered partition eight inches
from the vent. The firemen threw
chemical solution on the blaze.

Case Reduction Attributed
BY Health Officer to
Antitoxin Use.

Indianapolis had the lowest death
and case rate from diphtheria
during the year 1929 it has had
since health statistics nave been
kept here. DR.. Herman G. Morgan,
city health commissioner, said to-
day.
Positive diphtheria cases totaled
fifty-five the past year, drop Of
ninety-five from the year 1928,
health statistics show. There were
nineteen deaths in 1929 from the
disease.
DR.. Morgan declared that the
death rate from diphtheria had
been cut 25 per cent in the last
ten-year period in indianapolis. The
rate for Indianapolis in 1929 was
four in each 100000 population.
Diphtheria reached its peak in
1922, with 813 cases, when the prac-
tice of inmunizing school children
was started by the board of public
health.
DR.. Morgan expressed the belief
that the reduction is due directly to
the general administration of
antitoXin to school children as a
preventive measure.

ing the protective serum is indi-

DETROIT, Feb. 2l.-The matter
of-fact confession of a meek, shifty-
eyed young wanderer that he muir
dered nine persons in various parts
of the world for the thrill Of watch
ing them die caused horror even
among police officials today.
James Baker, 25, one-time sailor
OF sorts and -roustabout. left
trail of death starting from his
home town Of Warren. o., and lead
ing to various cities in the United
States. to the German seaport Of
Hamburg. to Bombay, India, and
the Philippines. according to his
story.
He poisoned eight victims, Baker
said, so he could watch them die.
The other was shot to death.
ct don't want to forget my first
murder" Baker said. Il killed my
stepfather. II. T. Parks, in Warren,
O., early in 1924. He was going to
beat me up 50 I got my gun and
shot him.
Obeyed That Impulse
That's what started me, I guess.
After that I couldn't resist the i'm
pulse TO kill every once in a while"
To medical experts, Baker is a
paranoic, suffering from a peculiar
mental alteration. Police described
him as "One of the most dangerous
homicidal maniacs the country has
harbOred in years"
The eight poisonings TO which he
confessed were those of a man
named Honeycutt, in Houston, Tex;
a sailor at Hamburg, Germany; a
hindu at Bombay; three sailors in
a ship off Venezuela; native in
Iloilo, Philippine islands, and James
Cav, aged Waterman for the Gug-
genheim laboratories in New York.
It was the murder of Cav, on
Dec. %, 1923, termed by New York
police as one of the most flendish
in It's police history, that led to the
arrest of Baker.
neSfrlDtS NuEueT
Sure, I killed Cav" Baker de-
clared. 81 had worked at the Gug-
genheim Chemical Company and
then quit and got another job.
When I got fired, I took a gun and
went back to Guggenheim's. Old
Cav was in another part of the
building so I helped myself to some
cyanide.
Then I made Cav put some cof-
fee on a stove. When it was done
I told him to set out one cup for
me and one for him. I put cyanide
in his. He drank his, but it made
him sick. made him drink an
other cup. He was getting weak,
but wasn't dead so I ground up some
more cyanide, put it on my gun bar
rel and put it down his throat.
HE rolled right over and his skin
got blue"
