Year, to Come Up on
Friday.

Trial of the year-old appeal Of
William Zahm, $685. Bicking-st,
from an assault and battery convic-
ton in Municipal Court, today was
set in Criminal Judge Frank P.
Bakers court Tor Friday
This is the case in which The In
dianapolis Times found official
documents bore a notation: DO not

the initials of Joel A. Baker, minor
attache Of the Criminal Court.
The Times on May % disclosed
that official records show the hear
ing of the appeal had been con
tinued indefinitely"
Zahm was convicted in Municipal
Court by former Municipal Judge
William H. Sheaffer on charges of
assaulting Chester Parker, 1116 N.

During an investigation of the
administration of criminal justice in
Marion County, Times reporters
discovered a card attached to the
Zahm appeal papers. This notation
appeared on the card: Continued

The same initials appeared on a
release order bearing the name
Frank P. Baker, upon which Lee P,

When Zahm was arraigned in

orders that his assistants should not
appear as defense lawyers in Grim
inal cases.

cutor, admitted to The Times that
Zahm is his friend. Mr. Goett said
after the assault charges had been
filed. Zahm came to him Accord
ing to Mr.. Goett he advised zahm to
pay Mr.. Parker's hospital bills.
Mr.. Parker claimed he was stand
ing on E. Westinghouse when he
was assaulted. He claimed the as
sault was unprovoked.
Floyd Burns, Mr. Parker's at
torney, said he went three times
to the Marion County Courthouse
to inquire when the appeal hearing
would be held. He said he had in
quired at the prosecutors office
twice and each time had been re-
ferred to Judge Bakers Criminal
Court.
Court attaches, he said. each time
referred him back to the prosecutor.

A .32-Caliber American Bull
dog revolver was found under
the body Of Mrs. Burns. 1t was
loaded with four cartridges,
two of which had been fired.
Two chambers were empty.
Although DR. John E. Salb, deputy
coroner. never has filed an autopsy
report in the case of Mr.. Burns, DR..
Arbuckle says informally that Mr..
Burns had been shot twice.
Tentatively, Dr.. Arbuckle said that
Mrs. Burns also had been shot twice,
one bullet entering the abdomen
from the right side and lodging in
the right hip, and the other piercing
the heart.
One Found in Body
However, in each case, only one
bullet was found. One was found
on the bed where Mr. Burns is be-
lieved to have reclined, stunned
from the shot. One was found in
the woman's body.
Today the bullet found in Mrs.
Burns body will be examined by
ballistics experts to determine
whether it was fired from the same
gun as the one that killed her hus-
band.
In spite of the discrepancies in the
bullet count, Sheriff Ray says that
any theory except murder and sui
eide is untenable, and insists, so far
as his Office is concerned, the case
is closed.
Murder, Suicide, Says Ray
A penciled note, in a regular copy
book hand, identified as that of Mrs.
Burns and heretofore unintelligible,
became eloquent with the finding
Of the body of its author, the sheriff
said
This note rambled vaguely about
injustices to Mr.. Burns; about the
apprehensions of the author for his
safety; about her determination to
take him out of a world that is too
cruel to him.
That, Sheriff Ray contends, is just
what Mrs. Burns did. She took the
revolver and in this period Of mental
stress, shot him, and then left the
little, dingy West Side home and
wandered up the road where, prob
ably in the dead of night, she shot
herself and fulfilled the equation
born in her twisted mind.
Mrs. Burns was shot in the body,
not in the head. So far as can be
determined, there were no wounds
about the face Of the woman This,
Sheriff Ray says, is significant. Few
women suicides mar their faces in
their suicidal attacks.

MIRACLE HOUSE OPENS JUNE %

Continuing its campaign of pre-
vention of tuberculosis in children,
the Maryland tuberculosis Associa-
ton will open its Miracle House at
Claiborne, Maryland, on Tuesday,
June 25th, according to an announce
ment received from William B.
Matthews, Managing Director.
Mr.. Matthews stated that applica-
tions received far outnumber the
children that will be able to be ac-
commodated this summer and that
preference will be given to the chill
dren who have been living in contact
with tuberculosis. Applications
have been received from Baltimore
and many counties of the State, and
it is expected that the bed capacity
of 40 beds will soon be filled.
This summer will mark the seven
teenth season of the Miracle House
which opened in 1919 with nineteen
beds. Today with bed capacity of
14O beds, it represents one of the
largest preventoriums in the United
States. In addition to the regular
routine of rehabilitation the Mary
land tuberculosis Association has
made arrangements again this sum-
mer to continue the dental correc-
ton work in each child which was
started two years ago.
The work at the Miracle House is
made possible by the annual sale of
Christmas Seals.

Problem
Varieties of Vegetables

Did you know that there were
more than sixty-five varieties of
canned vegetables? Every grocer,
of course, does not carry every
variety. While the average grocer
carries those for which there is the
greatest demand such as toma-
toes, corn, peas, beans, asparagus,
etc.-you will find by looking
around little that you can also
buy artichoke buds, Brussels
sprouts, tiny, whole white pota-
toes, sweet potatoes, beets sliced
or diced, baby carrots whole or
diced, and the various strained
vegetables which are so delicious
and so convenient for preparing
dishes which call for PURGE.
1t is not only at seasons when
fresh fruits and vegetables are
not possible that the housewife
uses these tender, delicious
canned products. There are many
times in midsummer when the
vegetable markets show so-called
fresh vegetables which are limp
and wilted from loag processes Of
transportation, or from drying out
on the display shelves in the
store, that the housewife prefers
to buy these same fruit and vege-
table varieties, always fresh and

THE NEWSPAPER BACKBONE OF
ADVERTISING

Seventy-four of Chevrolet's lead
ing dealers, who together accounted
for the sales of 80, JIG new cars and
trucks last year, attending two-day
conference at Detroit on sales and
advertising plans for the remainder
of 1895, went on record as unani-
mously endorsing the Chevrolet Mo-
tor Companys decision, announced
at the closing session, TO retain the
newspaper as the backbone of the
company's advertising media.
The announcement that Chevrolet
intended to adhere to this time-tried
policy was made by c. P. Fisken, adj
vertising manager, who spoke in en-
thusiastic terms of the results the
company has obtained through news
paper advertising, in which it has
long been a conspicuous leader.
I'VE are constantly on the look
out for any means of making our ap-
peal to the public more effective, ="
said Mr.. Fisken, "but up to date we
have found nothing to compare with
the newspaper as the main highway
for our advertising expenditure"
The days sessions were in the
nature of round-table discussions,
and the subject was referred to the
dealers for expressions of opinion.
At the close of the discussion, which
was strongly in support of the plan,
the dealers voted it their unanimous
endorsement.
The conference, held under the
vice president and general sales
manager, sought to obtain free inter-
change of ideas on the mutual prob
lens of the company and it's dealers.
Several round-table discussions were
on the program, and dealers were in
vited to offer constructive sugges-
lions on advertising and other sub
jects relating to their business.
Several suggestions made az a pre-
vious conference of the same type
were adopted with excellent results,
and the cementing of dealer-factory
relations, made possible through the
conference, more than justified the
undertaking, in the opinion of Chew
rolet officials.
While the meeting was termed a
dealers advertising conference" it's
scope was wider than that name
would imply, Mr.. Holler explained.
The sessions touched upon every
phase of Chevrolet dealer activity
new cars and trucks, used cars, parts,
accessories, service, accounting and
business management, and financing.
Representative of each Chevrolet
department outlined for the group of
dealers the company's plans for the
summer, so that when the dealers
left Detroit they took with them a
complete picture of what is in pros
pect.
