By Tim Is Special


NOBLESVILLF, Ind, July 90

diana bureau of criminal investiga-
ton and identification, has notified
Sheriff T. E. Ramsey that he'll come
to Noblesville soon for a conference
relative to the alleged swindling of
August Druck, farmer, living near
Atlanta, of 5000 ten days ago by
two men in a land deal. Manning
has been Investigating at Upton,
where Druck had the money on de-
post.
Druck went to Upton, drew the
money from bank and placed it in
q box in one of the rooms of his
farm home, presumably for the pJr-
pose of handling & land deal. Later
he found the money was gone and
accused two strangers who had been
in the home. Several flngerprints
on the box have been photographed
and none other than those of Mr..
and Mrs. Druck have been found
aside from those of the officers who
handled the box in removing it.
After reporting the case Druck said
nothing more about it. Manning
has asked Ramsey to assist him in
the investigation.
The officers believe there is a real
version of the alleged robbery which
has not yet been disclosed. Accord
ing to Druck's story the two men
had chosen a farm in Hamilton
county, which they said western
friend desired very much to buy.
They wanted Druck to purchase it
and sell it to their friend at profit.

Covers So Cities
For seven years the foremens

state and during that time it has
been extended by Professor Bux-
ton to fifty-eight cities, including
thirty-nine of the forty-one largest
in the state. A total of 800 different
factories have received the benefits
of this course.
"Foremen have many and varied
duties, and anything that helps
them in their work helps the COM
:panies by whom they are employed
as well as the men personally" said
Buxton. "Foremen must have ma
terial on hand to keep their work
moving properly, must see that the
product meets the standards of the
manufacturer, and see that the men
under them are properly trained in
their jobs"
The foremen in the factories
where this work has been given
have generally been called from
their duties for a one-hour period
of instruction and discussion with
Buxton. At other times the classes
have been held during the evenings
or after working hours. Glasses are
held once a week for six weeks.
Many Industries Reached
These courses have reached all
forms of industry, including nearly
all Indiana. They have been given
in widely diversified industries, rang
ing all the way from coal mining to
cough drops, from candy factories
to a goldfish hatchery, railroad
shops to popcorn vending-machine
factory, from greenhouses to Indi-
ana's famous limestone plants and
quarries, cement mills to automo-
bile plants, steel plants, packing
plants to shoe factories. More than
100 different kinds of industries are
in the list which has been given
assistance through the medium of
these lectures and discussions.
Practically all of the leading rail-
way shops, automobile factories,
steel plants and other principal in
dustries of the state, have availed
themselves of the opportunity of the
work given, many repeating several
times. Professor Buxton is working
out plans now for resumption of the
