"TheSe are pictures Of joe she
said with maternal pride. I've
had his picture taken every six
months since he was baby
Mrs Joseph Hancock, mother of
the Washington high school stu
dent who is threatened with the
loss of mis- left eye as a result of
an explosion in the high school
laboratory, Dec. 7, began to cry
softly.
To-day he was to have had his
picture taken again" she said,
for the thirty-second time. I
guess it's a little foolish of me, but
he was our only child, you see,
and he always was a looking
youngster.
Sometimes we think we do too
much for our children, but when
things like this happen we realize
that we haven't done half enough.
His father, Joe Sr. who works as
city fireman at Engine House s,
West and Washington streets,
agreed with me long ago that
our son should have all the adj
vantages we could give him.
His father was proud especially
of his athletic career in school.
He went to all the games. Joe
played end on the football team
this year and was considered a
good track man.
Mrs. Hancock was bitter about
the way Joe's accident had been
handled at the high school. She
spoke of the teacher who is
alleged to have been forced to
teach chemistry, despite the fact
that he did not hold a state Ii
cense to teach the subject.
When Joe was hurt, she said,
"a fellow student, Johnny Dunn,
of Is North Pershing street, took
him to the school nurse. She did
not even attempt to bandage the
eye, but told Johnny to get him
to doctor as fast as YOU can.
No attempt was made by the
school authorities to see that the
boy was taken to the proper
doctor nor did any one except
Johnny accompany it.
The boys walked about three
blocks to the office If DR.. P. w.
McCarty. 1926 West Washington
street, while Joes eye was bleed
ing badly.
'Dr McCarty said, this is a
major case I don't dare touch
it. Go to DR.. w. S. Hughes in the
Hume -Mansur building. Dr. Hughes
operated on Joe at the Methodist
hospital that night He doesn't
hold much hope for his sight in
that eye"
Mrs. Hancock replaced the pic
lures Of Joe in the album.
He was so fine at the hospital,
she exclaimed. When 1 came into
the room. he lay there with both
eyes bandaged and tried so hard
to smile cheerfully when he said,
Hello, mother, I'm feeling better
now"

COUNCIL WAR
ON SYNTHETIC
WHISKY FAILS
Action on Proposed City
Ordinance Delayed
Until Later.
LIQUOR TYPES DEFINED
Health Head Urges Early
Action; May Vote
Next Week.

An ordinance to curb the sale Of
synthetic whisky unless so labelled
was received last night by the city
council under suspension Of the
rules, but was postponed for action
until the next meeting.
The proposed ordinance. Endorsed
by the city health board, defined
blended whisky as "the mixture Of
two or more straight Whistles" 1t
defines compound whisky as the
mixture of straight whisky and
ethyl alcohol
DR.. Herman G. Morgan, city
health officer, who attended the
council meeting to speak in behalf
of the ordinance, told of the spurious
contents of whisky bottles labelled
"a blend" and said that the mix
ture was a blend" of alcohol, water
and coloring matter. DR. Morgan
further stated that the state food
and drug acts probably covered the
situation, but that the laws might
be obsolete.
Had the ordinance been passed
under suspension of the rules, it
would have become effective at
once, if signed by the mayor. Coun-
cilmen said they we're agreeable to
receiving the proposed ordinance,
but were not prepared to take i'm
mediate action on the matter.
Green Beer Flayed
The proposed ordinance defined
the various alcoholic drinks now on
the market and was aimed Speci-
fically at green beer" misbranding
and false labelling of blended wills
kies and wines that have flooded
the local market.
Straight whisky, under the ordi-
nance could be only properly fer
mented and aged whisky"
Definitions of blended, compound
or imitation whisky and require
ments that each bottle Or con-
tainer falsely labeled or mis-
branded would constitute a separate
offense," were continued in the law
Violation would be punishable by
$500 fine and six months in jail.
-Four various kinds of wine" were
defined as to their ingredients and
manufacturing process.
Aged Beer Required
Six different kinds of beer were
defined and, one clause stipulated
that all beer must be stored ninety
days after manufacture before it
could be sold in the city. This would
have eliminated a quickly fermented
beer for immediate use from being
sold under the guise Of properly
aged beer.
Even the importers would have
come within jurisdiction of the act
as it read.
DR.. Morgan, in speaking before
the council, stressed the fact that
the Federal enforcement machine
had not and could not begin to
function for some time, and that the
state government has failed to do so.
THE situation is an emergency
and demands immediate action. The
holiday shopper should be protected
by the law of the city of Indian
apolis
The situation is little short of
chaotic The federal government is
unable to organize, and the city
could give it a lift until it's machin-
cry begins to function" DR.. Morgan
said.

Belief that Baumeister's assailant
was planning to escape was
strengthened by the fact that a
rope ladder with a hook attached
was found at the wall near the ad-
ministration building.
Baumeister said he was patrolling
the prison yard about $50 a. m.
when he was struck from behind
He grappled with his assailant. but
the weapon penetrated his spine
and pericardium, the sac surround
ing the heart.
Baumeister also received a cash
on the wrist.
Dr. P. H Weeks, prison physician,
said that BaumeiSter probably
would recover unless infection sets
in
The guard said he believed he
could identify his assailant, but he
was too weak this morning to view
the men under suspicion.
Prison officials said that about
twenty-five convicts who serve in
the power house and dining room
details were under suspicion Men
working in these details arise at
5 a. m.
Baumeister declared that if he
had not been attacked the prisoner
might have been able to reach the
wall with detection, although his
chance OF escape would have been
slight.
The attack was the first outbreak
at the prison since ten convicts shot
and slugged their way to freedom
Sept. 26 All but three of the
escaped prisoners are still at large.

COUNTY MUST
RAISE S1O4,OOO
FOR VOTE LAW
Court Orders Registration;
Method of Taxation
Worries County.

Marion cOuntys harassed fnan-
cial condition further was compli-
Gated today after the county council
had been served with a superior
court mandate to provide funds for
permanent registration of voters as
required by 1898 statute.
With the county tax rate APP
proved by the state tax board with
out providing for approximately
S104 900 estimated by County Clerk
Glenn B. RaIston as necessary to set
up registration machinery. the mat
ter of getting the money remains an
impressive problem.
The mandamus order was issued
by Special Judge James D. Ermston
Yesterday after he had ruled against
a demurrer filed in a test case. The
friendly suit was filed in the name
of Belle Brown against members Of
the council.
1t was announced yesterday by
Martin Hugg, Russell NeWgent
Emsley Johnson and William Bos-
son, defense attorneys. that the de-
cision and mandamus order will be
appealed at once to the state SUI
preme court with request for rul-
ing before Jan Is, opening date for
registration.
Special Levy Considered
The amount of money estimated
by Mr.. RalSton as necessary to pur-
chase filing equipment and meet
other costs represents approximate
ly an additional 2 cents on the
county tax rate.
1t is possible that the original
estimate may be shaved, but not 10
an amount which Will be payable
from the 1884 general fund, unless
additional economies are made in
other items. A special levy may be
necessary to raise the registration
fund
The registration item originally
was stricken from the budget by
councilmen last fall, in an effort to
keep down the tax rate. The man
date action was brought at behest
of Mr.. Ralston, who, charged with
administration of the law, did not
want to hold the bag"
Special Session Called
Under Special Judge Ermston's
ruling. the councilmen are inundated
to provide the funds within five
days. A special council meeting
was to be held this morning.
The ruling declared that the reg
istration of voters is provided in the
state Constitution, which is the su-
preme law of the state and must be
obeyed."
Repeal of the former registration
law in 1927 and holding of elections
since without voter registration
have not invalidated the constitu-
tional provisions, Judge Ermston
held.
One Paragraph Upheld
No law passed by any general
assembly is immune from amend
ment or repeal by the successive
general assemblies" Judge Ermston
declared, but the constitution can
not be amended or any section re-
pealed.' except as provided by law.
1t is by reason of an omission or
refusal on the part of the general
assembly to obey and comply with
the constitutional mandate that the
voters Of the state have exercised
the right of suffrage without regis
tratiOn." he said.
Provision of the 1888 statute ,e-
curing the voter to sign his or her
name and address at the time of
balloting was held null and void by
Judge Ermston as IAN unreaSonab bic
burden This paragraph of the de-
murrer was the only one upheld in
the ruling
