Now he has served two
months of a life sentence for
a crime which, he claims, was
perpetrated by two other boys
and in which he took no active
part.
This Young convict told The In
dianapolis Times investigator that
he had learned many Of the tricks
of holdup men and the technique OF
burglars and other habitual crimi-
mails in the eight weeks he has been
at Michigan City prison

by effeminate men, who are the
curse of every large prison. OIL
Gals. fellow-prisoners and guards
regard the boys case sadly.
"Just like Dillinger's case" a
guard comments.
Typical of Conditions
The case OF this boy is typical Of
penal institution conditions IN IN
diana which it is sought to correct
through the adoption of centralized
state control and civil service regu-
lations for officials and guards as
proposed by The Times.
The boy who related to The
Times reporter at Michigan City the
tricks he has learned from hardened
criminals and who has been exposed
to unprintable advances of a group
of men who rouge their cheeks
and perfume themselves. is the VIC

Old-timers among the felons at

SLEEP SICKNESS
WAVE SPREADS
Seventy Cases Are Reported
by State Board Near
Hartford City.

Almost seventy cases of encepha-
litiS, or sleeping sickness, are being
treated in Hartford City and vicin-
ity, with one physician reported as
having twenty-five cases under his
care.
The reports were given today by
DR.. j. w. Jackson, state epidomi-
ologist, who just has returned from
Evansville, where the disease has
spread rapidly during the last
month.
Six deaths have occurred from the
disease in Evansville, with at least
ten other cases existing there. The
disease has spread, DR.. Jackson said,
from Evansville to Boonyille, ad-
Joining county seat and many cases
are known throughout Indiana.
No calculation on the number OF
deaths or cases of the disease has
been made, since there has been de-
lay in reporting them to the state
board of health, but is known at
least fifteen have died in the state.
Aid has been asked of the United
OUdt6S DuUllC IlCd1Gll oC1 VIC, oAlO OAAN
facilities of the laboratories of the
service are being used in treating
the disease.
Examinations are made by inject
ing blood and encephalitis virus in
mice. Where these injections result
in positive reactions, treatment such
as was given in the encephalitis
epidemic in st. Louis last year is
given.
DR.. Jackson described the first
symptoms of the disease as severe
headache and high temperatures.
The disease is not considered con-
tagious, but as transmiSsive. DR..
Jackson urged the report Of all new
cases to the state health board, as
well as local health boards. The
arrival of cold weather is expected
to be the best aid in stopping the
snread of the disease.

Ten Killed in South
By Times Special

By Times Special
ATLANTA, Sept. 6.-Violence
flared along the Mason-Dixon line
today bringing death to ten persons
in the turbulent textile strike. Near
ly 100 were injured
Guns roared at Honea Path, S. c.,
when the day shift at the Chiquola
Manufacturing Plant attempted to
push their way through 900 pickets.
When the smoke had cleared
away and deputies had restored
order six persons were dead and at
least fifteen wounded. Another man
died at Augusta, Ga, today bring
ing the total there to three.
Jobless Man Slain
John Black, unemployed, was shot
to death today as he approached
the Duncan mill at Greenville, S. C.
Reports of clashes at mill gates
came from many other points.
The dead at Honea Path:
Lee Crawford, IS.
Thomas Marlborough, so.
Ira Davis, %.
Bill Knight, so.
NJ H. Peterson, 80, Greenwood,
S. C.
Claude Cannon, 25.
AT least fourteen others were
wounded, two SO seriously that they
were expected to die.
The battle occurred at the gate of
the Chiquola Manufacturing Com
pany mill after the day shift arrived
to find the plant picketed. The
pickets, approximately 600 in num-
Der, carried clubs.
Most of the nonStriking workers
learned last night that the pickets
planned to enforcec losing of the
mill, which had been running at full
capacity since the textile strike
started.
After withdrawing for a brief
council, the workers charged the
picket line. Pickets swung their
clubs, but they were helpless under
the workers gunfire.
Battle Is Brief
The battle was brief. The pickets
retired in confusion, leaving their
dead and wounded lying in the dust.
The mill closed after the dis
turbance.
At Augusta, Ga, four strikers we're
wounded yesterday afternoon as
patrolman fired his pistol after he
was downed by strikers. Near Rome,
Ca, eleven men were injured as the
shotgun of one OF two guards, play
fully scuffling last night, was dis
charged.
At Ninety Six, S. c., firemen with
hoses drove away ITS pickets from
the mill gates this morning. The
management said the mill was run
ming full force except for ten or
twelve" union men, while union
spokesman claim about 100 are idle.
Throughout the south. approx
mately ITS, 900 Of the south's 100000
textile workers were idle, according
to United Press reports.

Local Plant Manager Asks
Union BIeaCherS to
Return to Jobs.
WHOLE SITUATION QUIET
Workers Set Fire to Papers
Distributed by Reds
Near Plant.

A demand that the United
Textile Workers of America
allow members of their union
employed in the bleachery of
the Indianapolis Bleaching
Company to return to work by
11::30 a. m. tomorrow was
served today on Fuller local,
No. 2O69, conducting the strike here
by Charles A. Young, plant man.
ager.
Mr.. Young based his demand on
what he said was the fact that
bleachery employees in other parts
of the country were not out on
sympathetic strike and on the claim
that hitting only at the local bleach
cry was unfair.
He did not say what action he
would take if the demand should be
refused, but intimated he would keep
the bleachery going, no matter how
difficult that might be.
The group representing the strik-
ers at the conference with Mr..
Young said they would refer the
question to national strike head
quarters in Washington before CIV
ing Mr.. Young a definite answer.
Situation Is Quiet
Representing the strikers were
Charles Draker, the locals business
agent; Bob Sphinx, strike committee
leader, and James Bryan, a striker
employed in a department other
than the bleachery.
The only excitement here came
before dawn today when minor
official of the bleaching company
called police headquarters and asked
that squad car be sent to the vi
cinity of the mill, 900 West Wabash
street, at once since strikers were
preventing other workers from en-
tering the factory.
The squad car found nothing to
do. Mr.. Young apparently knew
nothing of the call, although he hao
been informed that other plant off,
Gals were in touch With police early
yesterday.
Mr.. Young said that he had nc
complaint with the manner in which
pickets, who were less in number
in this mornings driZZle, were con-
Quoting themselves. He described
their conduct as fair and square
The strikers, who held another
mass meeting this morning ir
their new headquarters, AL Blake
street, said that night pickets had
reported what might be an attempt
to bring in "Scabs.'
Red Paper Is Burned
This was the appearance near g
side gate of the mill Of a truck
load of men, who, when pickets ap-
preached, said they we're seeking
nearby Washington street. The truck
loitered in the vicinity for several
minutes and then left without un-
loading the men, picket line leaders
reported.
Communists made their first ap-
pearance at the scene of the strike
today, distributing copies of the
Daily Worker, official publication
of the Communist party in America
These we're gathered up by strik'
ers and were burned in piles as fast
as they appeared. There were nc
physical clashes between the Com.
munists and the American Fedora
ton of Labor men.
Mr.. Young was indignant over re-
ports that men who had worked for
full week received as little as
$3.50. He said that no employe
with full weeks time on his time
card could receive less than $13. A
worker yesterday showed Times
reporter a check for $3.50, insist
ing that this represented full
week

Orange and Blue Backs Make
Own Coach Nervous With
Intricate Maneuvers

Chicago, Nov. l.-(NEA)-Robert
G. Zuppke this season is illustrating
how well resourceful coach can get
along with q light squad and none
too much power.
Opening the campaign with pro-
blem Illinois team, the veteran Zup-
PIKE has guided it over two high
hurdles, Ohio State and Michigan, and
threatens to sweep through to an un-
beaten season. Army, Northwestern,
Wisconsin, and Chicago furnish the
remaining opposition, with the Cadets
and the Maroon likely to prove the
more exacting tests.
With q comparatively small line,
Zuppke Immediately dismissed the
idea OF showing the other fellows
around.
In the Ohio State engagement,
which the Illini did not figure to
win, the young men Of zuppke opened
the tired eyes of seasoned observers
with the flying trapeze, in which a
half dozen athletes handled the ball
in a play that wound up with an end
making an easy catch in the end zone
for q 36-yard gain and touchdown.
And it was just as we'll for Michi-
gan that the Ann Arbor turf was
soaking wet on Oct. q. At is was,
the Orange and Blue backs did every
thing but dribble.

The number of times Illinois at

others continued to handle it like

Quarterback Beynon waited until

After three successive complicated
maneuvcrS failed with the ball on
Michigans two-yard mark in the fin
al seconds, Illinois lost a golden OPP
portunity to score another touch
down when Beynon called another
trick play. The result was that Gen.
