Mansfield hall, ancient women'S

The flames are believed to have

| DEAD, 8 ILL
IN CITY FROM
POISONED FOOD
Elderly Woman Is Victim of
Mushrooms; Mates
Condition Critical.
GATHERED AT EMINENCE
InedibIe Type of Delicacy
Picked in Woods in
Morgan County.

An aged woman is dead today, and
eight persons are i'll, four seriously
and one critically, poisoned by an
inedible variety of mushrooms
gathered in a Morgan county woods.
The poison was fatal to Mrs. Lilli-
an Schwomeyer, so, of 966 Indiana
avenue, last night.
Her husband, Fred Schwomeyer,
"a, is in a critical condition at his
home, his attending physician states.
Fred Schwomeyer, Jr., IS; Miss
Lillian Schwomeyer, 81, daughter;
Mrs. Augustus Schwomeyer, so, OF
1850 Sugar Grove avenue, cousin,
and Miss Susie Beals 81, of 1850
Sugar Grove avenue, all are dan
gerously i'll.
Injured Man Victim
Charles Edward Koury of New
York City, a patient at city hospital
since a motorcycle accident here
Sept. 81, also partook of the muSh-
rooms, and the spread of the poison
through his system has complicated
an operation which hospital ply
Sicians say must be made.
His wife, Mrs. Georgia Koury, a
roomer in the Schwomeyer home,
also ate some of the mushrooms, and
is i'll. Barney Schwomeyer, 20, son
of Mrs. Augustus Schwomeyer, also
is slightly i'll from the deadly food.
Fred Schwomeyer, ST., and Will
liam H. Schwomeyer, %, Of 1921
West Vermont street, a cousin,
gathered the mushrooms while
hunting near Eminence, Ind, a
week ago.
They divided them, and Mrs.
Schwomeyer served them to her
family and to Mrs Koury at the
noon meal last Tuesday.
Wednesday morning Miss Lillian
Schwomeyer called her cousin and
warned him against eating his share
of the supposed delicacy.
They've made us all SICK" she
said.
Mrs. Koury, rooming with the
SchWomeyerS in order to be near
her husband, carried a portion of
the food to his hospital room, and
he devoured the mushrooms.
Action of the poison usually is
delayed, according to DR.. Urban
Lyle, who attended the Schwo-
meyers. Often, he said, patients be-
come worse about ten days after the
poiSon's entrance in the body.
Small Daughter Escapes
Ruth, small daughter of Fred
SchWomeyer Jr., escaped becoming
victim of the poison when she
tasted the mushrooms and, dislik-
ing them, refused to eat more.
Mrs. Schwomeyer, born in Brown
county, had lived in Indianapolis
about twenty-five years. She and
her husband had lived at the In
diana avenue address for twenty
years. He is a poultry dealer there.
Besides the members of her fam
lily, who are i'll, she is survived by
a brother, John Gliden of Morgan
town, and sister, Mrs. Park Miller
of Prescott, Ariz. Two grandchil-
dren, besides Ruth, also survive her.
Funeral services for her will be
held at the home Wednesday aft
ernoon, with burial following in
Floral Park cemetery.

FREE FUNDS IN

Roosevelt Sets Up Board to
Salvage Billion Dollars
Quickly.
DEMANDS SWIFT ACTION
Trying to Bolster Nations
Purchasing Power,
Says President.
By United Press

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, Oct. Is. - The
government today came to the aid
CT depositors in closed national
banks with announcement by Presi-
dent Roosevelt of creation of fed
eral deposit liquidation board to free
81 900, 100000 quickly
The board, composed of ranking
fiscal officials, will concentrate on
stimulating the distribution of the
frozen assets of banks closed since
Jan. l, 1888, salvaging as much as
possible for depositorS to bolster
purchasing power.
The general intention" White
House announcement said. lis to
make loans on the assets of closed
banks for the benefit of depositors
up to maximum of so per cent of
their deposits, inclusive of dlstrl-
buttons heretofore made.
RFC to Supply Money
This does not, of course, mean
that in a bank whose remaining
assets are worthless, that the de-
positors will get so per cent. They
will get in such a case only their
share in the remaining assets"
The Reconstruction Finance Cor
poration will supply the money for
the loans on the closed banks as
sets. C. B. Merriam, a director of
the RFC. will head the liquida-
ton board.
Other members will be Chairman
Jesse II. Jones of the RFC;
Dean Acheson, comptroller Of the
currency, and Chairman Walter j.
Cummings of the Deposit Insurance
Corporation.
No Uniform Distribution
1T is not intended" the White
House announced, That the distri-
button shall be uniform, but will be
limited to the orderly liquidation OF
assets on which loans can be made,
reServing only what will appear
sufficient to pay taxes, expenses and
interest during the liquidation
period.
In some cases further diStri-
buttons will not be possible because
assets remaining in the bank will
not warrant any further dividends
than those heretofore made.
Distributions in any case will be
possible only to the amounts OF
the loanable value of the assets
which have not already been pledged
or otherwise disposed of.
Speed Is Stressed
In cases where the condition of
the closed bank will justify it
proper consideration will be given
to a larger distribution than so per
cent. More than one distribution
will be made as and if assets i'm
prove in value"
The boards operations, Mr.
Roosevelt believed would prevent
the dumping of closed banks assets
at sacrifice prices The President
emphasized his desire for speed.
The exact sum that will be freed
depends upon the appraisal of the
actual assets of each closed bank
but the President estimated that
the distribution would approximate

he is trustee.
In the petition, Mr.. Cooper
