ported.
Transfer of the Minute Man road

Franklin, Shelbyville, and Rushville.
to Richmond, to open new paved
highway into the southern and east
ern sections of the state, was pro-
posed several weeks ago by members
of the Johnson county board of
commissioners.
The highway commission is re-
ported to feel that inclusion of the
Minute Man route in the state sys-
tenn would be excellent for counties
affected and motorists, but at the
same time believe that other high
ways under consideration are of
more Importance. However, the
board OF commissioners and other
leaders of the movement in John
son and other counties concerned do
not intend to abandon their efforts
to present the case to the commits
sion again.

hU ifNifa special
DANVIbLE, Ind, Dec. 12.-Judge
A. j. Stevenson Of Hendricks circuit
court announces that he will send
no more patients to the Riley hos
pital for children at Indianapolis
except in case Of great emergency,
due to his dissatisfaction with a bill
Tor S2,870 sent to Hendricks county
by the hospital.
Declaring charges in several cases
were eXorbitant, the Judge cited
items which he asserted prove his
contention. An elbow fracture case
was billed at S123.5O; infected foot,
S162.50; appendicitis. S433.40, and a
pneumonia case, 1894
The $3.50 bill was for thirty
eight Hendricks county patients
treated at the hospital in the last
nine months.
Judge Stevenson discussed the
matter with township trustees at a
meeting here, and advised them to
send charity patients other than
children to the Coleman and Robert
Long hospitals in indianapolis.
Children, however, can be treated
only in the Riley hospital. He adj
vised the trustees that they might
effect economy by having some cases
handled locally.
Various physicians informed him,
the Judge stated, that the services
given at the Riley hospital could
have been obtained for less in other
institutions.
Delay in admitting patients is
charged by the judge. He said one
person he committed Oct. 4, 1926,
was not admitted until July % this
year. Another was ordered to the
hospital Sept. Is, 1923, but not adj
mitted until Aug. "a this year.

Counsel for Defense in

Case Hits 1881 Act.

81 Times Special
Fl. WAYNE. Ind, Dec. 12.-Con-
stitutionality Of act of the 1881 In
diana General Assembly is planned
by counsel for J. Stephen Weber,
charged with embezzling $4,000
from funds of the Home Loan and
Savings Association, while serving
as its secretary.
Under the former state law on
embezzlement, Weber, If convicted,
would face a prison term Of two to
fourteen years, but under the new
law a sentence of five to fifty years
is possible. The heavier penalty
was imposed at Evansville Thursday
on j. William Heyns, former vice
president of the Welfare Finance
Company, who embezzled S168,000 of
its funds.
The five to f1fty-year term is pro-
vided if the amount embezzled is
more than $4,000.
Weber'S counsel contends that the
portion of the statute covering
amounts embezzled is contradictory,
and that if this point is established,
the entire act would be invalid.
Investigation reveals, authorities
state, that most Of the embezzled
funds we're taken from two trusts.
Weber giving himself notes signed
IN his capacity of trustee.
Weber resigned Wednesday as
trustee, when final reports of the
trusts were filed, showing only as
sets to be securities valued at $3.50

less now. The combined value Of
the trusts was originally $21 900.

CHURCH READY
AT FIRE Scene
Dedication to Be Held SUM-
day at Terre Haute.

BIZ Times Special
TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Dec. r.
The new St. Benedict's church, the
third to occupy a site at Ninth and
Ohio streets, Terre Haute, will be
dedicated Sunday. It will replace a
structure which was burned in
August, 1880.
The first church was built in 1865
to accommodate the German speak
ing residents of Terre Haute. The
second was dedicated July 18, 1899,
and was then the most elaborate
church in the middle west.
The Rt Rev. Joseph Chartrand,
bishop of the Indianapolis diocese,
will have charge of the dedication
exercises which will be attended by
more than thirty Indiana Caholic
clergymen, many of them members
of the Franciscan order to which
priests of st. Benedict's have always
belonged.
The new church is built inside
brick walls of the second structure
which were left intact by the fire.
Among parishioners who will at
tend the dedication will be Fireman
Hugh Murtaugh, whose escape from
the burning church was narrow.
Murtaugh was one of the firemen
who went to the upper part of the
church to battle the flames. He was
trapped, Then he broke a window,
high up in the west gable, crept on
to ledge and crouched behind
statue of st. Benedict. A ladder was
run up and he descended. Women
tainted at the sight.
A statue of st. Michael, which
was gift to the old church from
the late Herman Human, purchased
at a cost of $4,000, is missing from
the new dome. When the dome
Crumbled during the fire, the statue
was hurled through the east side of
the church and ruined.
