FOR 18O DAYS
Convicted of Threatening
Poor Farm Guard, Man

his only home, is out Of the ques-
tion for George Handlon, penniless
ousted inmate Of the Marion county
infirmary, who was sentenced to
l80 days on the state farm today
by Judge William H. Schaeffer.
Handlon, a 50-year-old tubercu-
losis sufferer, was convicted Of
drawing a deadly weapon on How
ard Wiseman, nurse at the poor
farm.
Handlon also was fined 500 and
costs, but these were suspended.
Following presentation Of evidence
by Wiseman and two other poor
farm employees, Judge Schaeffer
commented that Handlon "appar-
emily had been trouble maker at
the poor farm"
Branded as dangerous" Handlon
had been discharged from the poor
farm by John Carter, poor farm su-
perintendent. Handlon later took
his case before the county grand
jury.
Handlon pleaded with the court
on the grounds that he was tuber-
culosis victim, but Judge Schaefer
remarked that the state farm would
be more beneficial to his health
than the Marion county jail where
he otherwise would be confined.
Testimony by Wisenlan, Samuel
J. Frantz and John Steadham, all
poor farm employees, was that Hand
lon had threatened Wiseman with
a knife on the night Of May %,

THEY tell the story Of Theodore
J. Roosevelt that when he began
to feel strong ambition to be-
come a resident of the White House,
he met an old Republican cam
paigner and asked him: How can
l go to work to become a Presi-
dent?"
by not seeming to work for it
at ALL" was the quite unexpected
answer.
This bit OF elemental political
shrewdness evidently has been
naemorized carefully by George
Barnard, indianapolis and New
castle attorney, Of whom it is said:
His eyes are fixed on the Cover
nor's chair"
George, however, is in q peculiar
position. He is a close friend Of
M. Bert Thurman, Republican ma
tional committeeman, who also has
had "call" to become the nominee
for Governor and is practically the
only avowed candidate in the field.
Because Of this close association
and friendship, Barnard will en-
gage in no strenuous campaigning.
But if Thurman should slip and
fall in the battle, Barnard will be
ready to doff the blanket and get
into the race.
u
George almost became nominee
in 1928 when Harry G. Leslie was
nominated, that is, he would have
been one Of the participants in a
downtown hotel fight for the nom

Purnell Of Attica had retained con-
troll Of the convention.
AS the story is told, arrangements
had been completed with Purnell
that in event the fifth ballot on
the nomination for Governor should
show some one not in the fold
would be nominated, he was to ad-
journ the convention until 9 a. m.
the next day and the nominee
would be selected in a little con-
ference Of G. o. P. leaders that
night.
The group composed Of Barnard,
Thurman, Albert Ward, then dis
trict attorney, or one Of several
others. who had not been candi-
dates in the primary or convention,
then would offer themselves as can
didates and the conference was to
make the selection.
For some reason or othsr-per-
haps the gayel was SO heavy that
he could not lift it-Fred Purnell
could not fulfill his instructions and
so Leslie was nominated.
That is the story back Of the 1928
convention. Since then, Barnard's
following has grown so greatly that
today. if he chose to enter the
arena, he would be most forn1id-
able contender for the Republican
nomination.
But George feels that his best
chance lies in "by not seeming to
work for it at ALL"

Real significance Of the American
mayors trip to France was lost in
reams Of unfavorable publicity in
which the public was led to believe
the mayors fused their way around
France" according to E. Kirk Nc
Kinney. who represented Mayor
Reginald Fl. Sullivan on the tour.
Mckinney, works board president,
and Mrs. Mckinney reached In
annapolis Tuesday after participant
ing in the five-weeks' tour with
more than thirty American mayors
as guests Of the French government.
Perhaps the most significant
feature Of the tour" said Mckinney,
was the eementing of friendship
between France and America.
Ildlanapolih also may benefit,
I believe, from the free advertising
1t received. I found much interest
among the French in the Indian

Comments on "Fussing"
In commenting on the "fussing."
Mckinney said every little incident,
regardless Of its unimportance, was
written up in sensational style by
press association correspondents.
One unfortunate incident, for
which we hardly were responsible"
he said, was the much-heralded
'boner' Of Mayor George L. Baker
OF Portland, Ore, in making a brief
speech during ceremonies at the
unknown Soldiers tomb in Paris.
None Of the Americans knew
that French custom decrees silence
at the tomb, but the French tour
conductor and other Frenchmen in
the party did know Baker intended
TO speak and failed to warn him"
Mckinney defended d Baker
against criticism for making too
many speeches, explaining Baker
had been named chairman of the
group, and was expected to respond
to welcoming addresses.
Oh, Those Eggs
"a number of amusing incidents
occurred during the tour" McKin-
ney commented, zone of the most
laughable being when Mayor Met
calf Of Omaha, Neb, tried to order
some eggs at hotel dining room.
"'Oofs, oofs,' he shouted in his
best imitation of the French word
for eggs. 1t sounded as if he had
been hit in the stomach.
When the waiter just looked
blank, concealing a smile, Metcalf
finally resorted to sign language.
He got his eggs when he initiated

on the tour had a slight knowledge
Of the French language gained

WORD FOR THIS
LAXATIVE

In 1876 an earnest young man
began to practice medicine. AS a
family doctor, he saw the harm in
harsh purgatives for constipation
and began to search for something
harmless to the sensitive bowels.
Out of his experience was born
a famous prescription. He wrote it
thousands of times. 1t proved an
ideal laxative for old and young.
AS people saw how marvelously the
most sluggish bowels are started
and bad breath, headaches, fever
ishness, nausea, gas, poor appetite,
and such disorders, are relieved by
the prescription, It became neces-
saTy to put it up ready for use.
Today, DR.. Caldwelps Syrup Pep
sin, as It is called, is the worlds
most popular laxative. 1t never
