REMODELINC OF
PRISON URGED
$4,000 Building Program
Proposed by KunkeI
in Budget.

A general remodeling of the state
prison in an effort to modernize the
plant and put halt to wholesale
escapes was seen today in the an
nouncement of the contents of the
budget request by Warden Louis E.
Kunkel.
A building program, estimated to
cost approximately $4,000 and a
general increase in appropriations
for salaries and operating expenses
totaling $1,568,512 for the next
biennium were asked by Mr. Kunkel.
A building program, estimated to
cost $4,000, also is proposed at the
state reformatory at Pendleton, &C
cording to the budget submitted by
Superintendent A. F.. Miles.
Construction of a new admins
tration building outside the walls
of the Michigan City institution and
remodeling of the walls and towers
we're the principal changes asked by
Mr.. Kunkel.
Remodeling and f1reproof1ng of
the prison hospital, an addition to
the hospital for the criminally in
sane and a new receiving depart
ment and bathhouse we're other i'm
provements asked in the prison
budget.
Warden Kunkel also asked for adj
ditions and improvements to the
prison lighting system. Part of this
work already has been started, new
Searchlights having been placed on
the walls after five inmates escaped
several weeks ago.
An additional appropriation for
salaries of prison employees also is
asked Mr. Kunkel pointed out that
abandonment of several prison in
dustries, profit from which was used
to pay guards and other help, will
necessitate increased appropriations
for the next two years.

talk seethed through this town to-
day as groups of citizens kept
watch for the return of j. D. Willis,
charged with kidnapping a newlywed
couple and criminally assaulting the
bride. He was spirited out of the
back door of the county Jail last
night, while a mob screamed for
his life from the front.
Authorities feared mob violence if
Willis was returned here today to
face a grand Jury. He was held in
a Jail somewhere in the vicinity,
but where police refused to reveal
lest a mob travel there to get him.
The 19-year-old ex-convict was
identified positively by Maxwell
Herring and his 18-year- bride,
whose honeymoon was interrupted
last night.
Willis was arrested driving their
car, with Mrs. Herring's engagement
ring in his pocket.
1t was believed the grand jury
The Herrings had stopped their
machine at a roadside soft drink
stand. A man climbed in, pressed
a gun against Mr.. Herring's side and
forced him to drive ten miles to
woods. There Mr.. Herring was made
to strip to his underwear and was
tied to tree. The bandit told Mrs.
Herring to undress. She refused,
was slapped, knocked down, and as
saulted while her husband strained
at his bonds, helpless to intervene.
Mrs. Herring then was deprived
of her clothes and bound to another
tree. The bandit drove off in their
car, taking the clothes and her en-
gagement ring. Mrs. Herring saved
her wedding ring by putting it in
her mouth.
After two hours of struggle, she
freed herself and then united Mr.
Herring. They got clothes at
farmhouse and were brought here.
Mr.. Herring is the son of the
principal of the Tyler school.

Judge Hawkins then warned the
members of the boys family that if
Wallace died because of their in
reference and objection to medical
attention, he would summon the
grand jury into special session and
order it to return murder indict-
ments against the responsible per-
sons.
This child is in great danger, "
Judge Hawkins said. Il intend to
see that he receives the benefit Of

court will brook no interference.
The court, furthermore, disclosed
that another 8-year-old boy, son of
a Free Holiness" church family,
had died of appendicitis recently
after his parents refused to summon
a physician.
Shortly thereafter, the court said
it had learned, another child in the
same family developed scarlet fever.
The parents permitted treatment for
this child, and he recovered, the
court said.
The boys father, who secluded the
child last Friday to avoid a court
order calling for his examination
and treatment, was firm in his re-
fusal to allow Wallace Doyle to be
sent to a hospital. He persisted that
prayer. "if you will just let us
alone" would cure the flaming in
lection in his sons leg.

clared.

street.
The plant contemplates hiring
more than 1000 unemployed city
workers now on relief rolls as soon
as the slaughtering operation, au-
thorized recently by the federal
emergency relief administration, is
in full swing.
First call for workers, tenta-
lively set for Wednesday, will give
$50 men work Immediately.
Plans worked out by Mr.. Coy and
his assistant, F. M. Rehrig, call for
facilities to slaughter 5000 head of
cattle a day. When the plant is
running 100 per cent, according to
Mr.. Coy, maximum of slaughter is
expected to reach 5000 head a day.
Arrangements have been made
with Van Camps, Inc. to can all
the meat from the relief slaughter
house which in turn will be dis
tributed to families on relief in the
city and throughout the state.
Private Aid Is Asked
Mr.. Coy made it clear that the
relief operated slaughter house in
no way will interfere with private
enterprises operating in the city or
state. He asserted that the opera
ton of the plant merely will take
over the surplus cattle being bought
up by the federal government.
The government program of buy
ing up cattle from the devastated
drought area is so far ahead of the
Slaughtering facilities" said Mr..
Coy, that private meat concerns in
all parts of the nation are over
taxed.
ut is to relieve this congestion
and at the same time to relieve I'M
employed men that the project of
work relief slaughtering has been
undertaken.
An arrangement has been made
with large city slaughtering con-
Germs to consult with them first on
our policies particularly with re-
gard to hiring workers." Mr.. Coy
continued. There will be no raid
ing of employees of private concerns
for the operation of the relief
slaughter house"
Inspectors on Way
In order to insure the purity of
meat in the new project inspectors
from the bureau of animal industry,
United States department of agri-
culture, will be assigned regularly to
the plant.
Operation of the Indianapolis
Abattoir Company plant on a relief
basis is the second such project to
be attempted in the city. Recently
the Governors commission took
over the operation of the old Bills
& Boetcher Company, a former
slaughter house, at 801 Kentucky
avenue.
Plant of the indianapolis Abattoir
Company, now in receivership, is
being refitted entirely.

C. of c. to Protest

Winter coal prices may De nlheo
at least 80 cents a ton in Indiana II
the plea of American railroads Tor
increased freight rates is needed by
the interstate commerce commits
sion in Washington.
This declaration was made today
by r. B. Coapstick, manager OF the
freight and traffic division of the
Indiana State Chamber of Com
merce. when informed of the petit
ton filed before the l. c. c. by the
nations railroads.
1t is a direct slap at President
Roosevelt and the administrations
efforts to keep prices down. as
serted Mr.. Coapstick, when told
that the railroads sought to raise
their annual revenues Sl1O,OOO.OOO
through increased freight rates.
Instead of increasing the rates,
which have been judged by the COM
merce commission as a fair rate OF
return, the railroads should be re-
ducing the rates on freight.
"A general increase in all freight
rates unquestionably will be passed
on TO the consuming public.
Protest to BE Made
The railroads merely will drive
manufacturing concerns to the use
OF trucks and waterways with a
consequent cut in their own freight
tonnage and the resultant loss of
revenues sverred Mr.. CoapStick.
He said that the state chamber
would battle vigorously against the
proposed freight rate increase and
that he would 60 to Washington to
aid other organizations in the fight
10 prevent the railroad obtaining the
increases.
Mr.. Cospstick pointed out that
under the proposed rate hike petit
ton filed by the railroads. that coal
from Kentucky and West Virginia
as well as other eastern Goals carry
at the present time the rate of 1882
a ton. while under the proposed
new scale the rate for the long haul
from eastern as well as southern
fields would be $3.50 a ton.
Possibility that Indiana coal
might be benefited was denied by
Mfr. Coapstick when he pointed out
that one of the largest coal users
in the city. the Citizens Gas Com
pany. bought eastern and southern
coal and not the product of Indiana
mines.
Increase Is FOreSeen
Indiana coal for the most part
takes a rate of SIPS a ton and the
railroads propose TO increase the
state-mined products freight rate TO

cost OF freight will be felt not only
BY the large manufacturer. but also
BY the consumer who will have the
increased rate passed on TO him and
in addition feel the higher cost in
buying coal for his home" MI
Coapstick said.
1t is driving freight out Of trains
into trucks. For instance, coal will
be sent by boat dow nthe Ohio in
stead Of by rail IN an effort TO cut
the cost Of the rails proposed rates"
Mr. CospStick explained
Instead Of going after the bust
