When the boy killers father, c. 3.
Arnold ST., began testifying, Ber-
trand gazed at him f1xedly.
In answers to a series Of ques-
tons, the elder Arnold said:
Bert always seemed fond of Mrs.
Sake and called her grandma. She
helped him with his lessons. He was
an affectionate boy and one who
displayed his affections. I can
think of no reason to explain what
he did.

Attended Sunday School
The father said his son attended
Sunday school regularly and had
joined the Presbyterian church OF
his own volition. Arnold said he
never had realized that Bert was
a pronounced day dreamer, and
had never thought of his having an
lnferiority complex.
1t then was announced that Bert
would tell his own story from the
witness stand.
The hearing today is to aid the
5o-year-old justice in naming a
sentence.
Judge Prystalski had to consider
a 7OO0-word study of the boys ca

Hoffman likened the conduct of
the quiet brown-eyed boy to an
emotional explosion"
Young Arnold killed his grand
mother with single hammer blow
when she refused him permission
to use her automobile. He was ar
rested two days later in a restau-
rant in small Illinois town.
The Staying was described bv the
court alienists as without premedita-
ton. There was no doubt. said the
report, that the boy actually loved
his grandmother.
He wanted his grandmother's
car in order to take his friends to
a dance to impress Them said the
report. His grandmother refused
him permission.
Life Compared to Gun Powder
"This refusal may have seemed
to her insignificant, but to the boy
it was an unexpected Illustration of
important plans and desires. He
flew into uncomfortable rage. and,
with no generalization, struck his
grandmother on the head with a
hammer, causing her death.
The previous events in his life,
day dreaming, a continuous desire
for popularity, and his unstable
emotional makeup, may be COM
pared to gunpowder.
THE continued refusal of his par
entS, and his grandmother for the
use Of the car could be compared to
fuse.
And the slap or tap his grand
mother gave him when she refused
him the car, was the match which
caused this emotional explosion
which eliminated in the tragedy"

Warm, Comfortable Home
Given Children While
Mothers Work.

PROBABLY to some people the sue
cess of the Give a Dollar" drive
of the Community Fund campaign
means reaching a financial goal.
But to dozens of little people at the
Indianapolis Day Nursery it means
more than just that.
To 2-year-old Mona it means that
there will be a warm, comfortable
home in which to wait for mother,
who is at work. To 10-month- old
Barbara it means milk in the bot
tie which she grasps so eagerly
when map time" comes. Four-year-
old Edward knows that warm ce-
real breakfast and a kind nurse to
battle and care for skinned knees
awaits him there.
To Bobby and Freddy, other
4-year-olds, it provides a comfort
able place to build up growing
friendship.
For about thirty school children
who stay at the Day Nursery
while their mothers work, the sue
cess of the drive represents a con-
tinuation of nourishing midday
meals and place to get home
work" after school.
But Mother Knows
Not that these children are con-
scious that all of these comforts
are endangered if the Give a Dol
lar" drive does not reach it's goal.
They are as care-free and ignorant
of the outcome as more fortunate
youngsters are of family financial
crises.
But the mothers and fathers of
these children are aware of what
success or failure of the drive
means. One mother, who works for
1894 a week, brings her three chill
dren to the nursery early in the
morning, before going to her work
at a laundry.
The children are given their
bathed if necessary; the
two of school age are sent to school,
and the younger plays in the nur-
sery all day.
When the mother comes for her
children at the end of a long day,
she finds them happy, clean, and
well fed.
Stretches Tiny Salary
Through the help of the nursery,
she is able to make her tiny salary
stretch to cover room rent and other
expenses. Without the help of the
nursery, she would not be able to
keep her family together.
The children get home training at
the nursery that tired, working
mother and a discouraged, unem-
ployed father would not be able to
give them. One mother said that
her little girl came home each day
with some new thing learned at
the nursery.
I'VE must put our shoes down
side by side" she told her mother,
and we mustn't eat our Dessert
first"
Take Up Their Tasks
The older children have taken
upon themselves self-imposed tasks
which help keep the nursery in its
attractive condition. The girls help
set the table, and dust out the win
dow stills. The boys carry out the
waste baskets, sweep the walks, and
carry groceries to the basement.
A weight of worry and discour-
agement is lifted from the shoulders
of many Indianapolis working
mothers by the Indianapolis Day
Nursery. To them the success of
the Give a Dollar" drive means
safety and comfort for their chill
dren while they work to buy them
the necessities of life.

BY WALKER STONE

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-Presi-
dent Elect Franklin D. Roosevelt,
according to reports that have been
current in recent weeks, has de-
cided that the United States must
delay consideration of the st. Law
renee waterway treaty until the ma
tons railroad problems have been
solved.
Whether these reports accurately
represent Mr.. Roosevelt's views can
not be confirmed, since he consist
emily has refused to discuss the
treaty.
Nevertheless, that is the position
which has been taken with empha-
sis by the politically powerful rail-
way labor organizations, from which
the President-elect received much
support.
Bristling Condemnation
A bristling condemnation of the
waterway project was presented late
Friday to Senator William Borah's
subcommittee by David B. Robert
son, speaking for the twenty-one
standard railway labor unions.
Robertson demanded that the
treaty be shunted aside until the
railroads are rehabilitated, and I'M

ordinated transportation facilities"

NEW RACKET OF ENFORCE
 MENT OFFICIAL, ANCHORAGE
(Anchorage Times.l

The liquor cases which developed this week as the result of raids con- ducted by, Prohibition Officer Fillmore. numbering four in all, were disposed of by United States Commissioner Thomas C.. Price by imposing. fines on the. defendants 4when. they entered pleas of guilty before him yesterday. Mrs. Links. and Joe Flowers were fined $25Q each and Mir. and Mrs. Bor+ yer, who were charged with posses sion, in a joint. complaint. were as sessed $350. The first of. the cases was disposed of in a. similar manner the previous day.
 E. Evidence in the cases was obtained sin manner. somewhat new to An- .chorage. The prohibition officer is said to have engaged the services of ean undercover man to purchase the liquor, and on. th- estrength of such purchases the officer obtained search warrants without revealing the. name of tn, einformer. This has led to the suspecting of several persons as being. the. ..informer and is causing the sus- pected persons considerable embar- rassment.
 The procedure was for the officer to send his assistant into a suspected place. first assuring himself that he did not have any liquor,xon his person. or any money except that given him to make the. desired purchase When the informer returned to, the office., with the evidence" he. was again searched to. make sure that he ;, had spent the money given him.

The Governor was accompanied to the stadium by former Governor James Cox and Newton D. Baker. The Gov ernor was introduced by Cox.
