Collins Rules Testimony Is
Incompetent; Girl Hits
Alleged AssaiIant.

Incompetency of an 8-year-old
girl to testify as the only witness
against a defendant charged with
having assaulted her criminally
brought an instructed verdict of &C
quittal in criminal court Thursday.
Conviction would have carried life
Imprisonment.
Brought to trial before a criminal
court jury Thursday, a 60-year-old
vacuum cleaner salesman was freed
of the charge when Judge James A.
Collins ruled the ehild's testimony
incompetent.
Collins based his decision on a
law which gives trial judge dis
erection in permitting a minor under
10 years of age to testify. The child
twice identified the defendant as the
man who entered her home in the
absence of her parent, attacking
her.
Under Collins ruling, Prosecutor
Judson L. Stark was forced to drop
the states case, asserting that with
out the child's testimony the
states hands were tied"
Defense counsel then moved for
an instructed verdict of not guilty
by the Jurors, and Collins accepted

would make an appropriation to pay
teachers, pass a statute placing con-
troll of the state aid funds under
the state board of accounts and
provide that trustees would make
anticipatory requests for funds.
He also declared that thorough
investigation should be rodered of
trustees application for state aid
and that where false applications
for funds were made the trustees
should be indicted and tried in
Marion county.
Harris also declared there should
be adherence to the provision Of the
1929 law requiring all contracts be-
tween trustees and teachers, bus
drivers and other school help to be
submitted to the state auditor for
approval, thus stopping the employ
ment of excess teachers.
Harris was unable TO see Leslie,
who is out of the city, but con-
ferred with Roy P. Wisehart, state
superintendent Of public instruction.
Wisehart said that check on the
number of teachers in Lawrence
county revealed there is an excess
Of twelve teachers, and that in one
township school there were two
teachers for thirty-five pupils.

 Prison, Stops Publication

 Attorneys for the defendant had used Judge Clarks contention that the eighteenth amendment to be valid should have been submitted to constitutional conventions instead Of state legislatures. This was based

CHINESE MILLIONS

Taxes, Poor Crops, Bandits A.
 fiCt Great Province

Chungking, China, Dec. 19 PA- The high cost Of living has become an acute problem in the life of 25.- 0Uo,00O or more persons in the west half of Szechuen, China's largest province.
 The present poverty-striCken con- dition Of the territory Is attributed to taxes, poor crops, banditry and the silver slump. There are so many taxes that farmers have little left after paying them.
 In many sections of the surround ing country peasants are confronted with possibilities of famine,
 The rice crop in Szechuen was less than 50 per cent of normal. al- though lt was better than usual in most provinces Of China,
 To forestall actual starvation as long as possible, soup kitchens have been opened in many towns and yil- l3-,s and they are kept more or loss in constant use.
 The beggar population has man aged 10 treble since the arrival of cold weather and a man with a prosperous appearance has no busi- ness on the streets unless he has enough copper coins to pass out among the crying, sometimes screaming Iucndicants who follow him.
 Foreign trade, like the crops and the taN-rjdden farmers, has been hard hit. Business has fallen off heavily m the past six months and this once prosperous Yangtze river port has almost become a deserted city.
 This particular phase of the de- nrassion is attributed more 10 high taxes than tho low price Of silver.
 There are taxes for unloading cargo. ta&.S for moving goods from the dock to the merchants shelves. a doz-u different kinds of military taxes. an even greater number of civil taxes

Origin Of "charity"

"Carus' is the Latin for dear" and
"caritas," the abstract noun from II,
means "dearness." st. Jerome, who
translated the Bible into Latin avoid
ed the use Of the ordinary Latin word
for "love," which is "amor," because
Of its worldly associations. He sub
stituted for it, wherever the Greek or
Hebrew would naturally have re-
quired it, one or other of two rather
colorless words, of which "caritas' is
one. Being colorless, "caritas" was
capable of taking the color of its Bib
hcal surroundings and came to mean
the specifically Christian love of ones
neighbor, and especially of the poor.
The English word charity" derived
from it, perhaps owes its sense par
ticularly to the great passage about
charity In Corinthians, 13.
