Life Term

He was sentenced by Judge James
F. Fardy after a Criminal Court

fled that Haines faxed some of his
mental ills.

capped from the Lima, Ohio, asylum
for the insane New Years day.

tured.

Want To Shift Relief
Load

Lima relief officials studied last
week possible means of reducing
their relief load from 1,400 persons
to about $50 as they awaited rul-
ing from state relief authorities.
They claim 1873 cases, representing
$50 persons, should be classed as un-
employable, and thus come under
jurisdiction of county officials as per-
manent charges. The proposed
change in status was advanced when
it was learned direct relief for the
rest of this year must be financed
with $4,000 monthly instead of
$4,000.

Charges Politics Cause
OF Custer

DR.. O. E. Harvey last week
charged that failure to play poll
tics" with some trustees brought
about a request for his resignation
as superintendent of the Lima Dis
trict tuberculosis Hospital. He sub
mitted his resignation.
DR.. Frank D. Ayers, Celina, chair
man of the hospital trustees, said
the resignation was requested be-
cause of DR.. Harveys failure to re-
duce expenditures as had been de-
manded, and that the action reflect
ed in no way on DR.. Harvey's pro-
fessional ability.
The hospital is operated jointly by
Allen, Shelby, Mercer and Van Vert
counties.
