Yeggmen Crack Providence Safe, Obtain No Loot Third Safe-Cracking Job In County Found Early Tuesday Night PROVIDENCE, Jan.

11 Discovery of Johnson county's third safecracking job in recent weeks was made at Union Village Masonic lodge No. 5-15 in Providence early Tuesday night. The robbery, which apparently took place a few days before, was discovered about 6:15 o'clock by Arthur R. Denny. 32 year-old lodge custodian, and Maurice Utterback, a member cf the lodge.

Mr. IVnny said to his knowledge the lodge had not leen entered since the last regular meeting two weeks ago on Tuesday, Dec. 27, and the robbery could have occurred at any time since then. However. Mr.

and Mrs. Carl Bowman, who live across the street, report ed they were awakened a few-nights ago by a "niir.Ke." The heavy safe had been rolled off a stage onto the floor, and the rumbling noise rr.ay have been raused by the safe as it fell. Seek Clues the light of the third safe job in the past few weeks, a large number of officers descended on the lodge to search the premises for clues. They included Detective Sgt. Robert Bennett, of the Indiana state police post at Seymour; Sheriff Howard Maxwell, Deputy Charles Shi pp.

Marshal Garner Wood of Greenwood, and Prosecutor James D. Acher. iThe combination had been battered off the safe the door petted open. Although the safe contained no money, a number of valuable papers belonging to the lodge were inside. Although the papers had been carefully inspected, apparently nothing was taken.

The safe was located in the main hall vpstairs. which has no windows, and the yeggs would have been able to work with the lights on, without being detected. This ripped and damaged safe was left in the wake of safe-crackers who broke into Union Village Masonic lodge No. 545 at Providence. It was the third safe job in Johnson county in recent weeks, all believed to be the work of the same yeggs.

Mid-Semester Franklin College Graduates Are Announced Today Board Of Local Church Approves Purchase Of Land Prospects Are Good That Indiana Conference Will Give Final Approval Prospects for the construction of a Methodist Home for the aged here, the first unit to cost $300,000, were favorable today following unanimous approval of the site by the committee appointed by the Indiana Conference of Methodist churchs, and enthusiastic support given Tuesday night by the official board of the Grace Methodist church. The proposed 40-acre site is located on the farm owned by Mrs. Carl White at the west end of Jefferson street. It is north of highway No. 144, and just northeast of the Johnson county Memorial Hospital.

The offical board of the Grace Methodist church at its meeting Tuesday night voted unanimously to donate 20 acres of land for the home. The citizens of Franklin will be asked to donate the other 20 acres. The first unit will have a capacity of 100 persons. A committee was appointed Tuesday night by the official board of the local church to obtain the funds to purchase the 20 acres of land. Members of the committee are as follows: W.

F. Swiggett. chairman; Noble Bergman; Mrs. G. W.

Furnish; Harry DeCourcy; and Walter Duckworth. To Make Decision The Rev. Golden A. Smith, pastor of th local church, announced Wednesday morning that the final decision will be made when the Indiana Conference meets the third week in June. The session will be held at Bioomington, but the date has b--jn set.

Matters on w-hich selection of the local site are contingent include that a donor does not contribute $100,000 or more between now and time of the conference in order that the home be located in another community. Although that would not be a deciding factor, it would have a bearing on the location. Another factor is that the Indiana Conference must give final approval as to the location of the home. The committee appointed by the conference to select the site voted unanimously in favor of Franklin when it viewed the location Monday, and the conference usually follows the recommendation of the committee. The third factor is that the site be donated for the home.

The Grace Methodist church is donating 20 acres, and local citizens will be contacted to raise funds to purchase the other half of the site. In that connection, it was pointed out that the donations would be returned in event the home is located in another community. To Cost $300,000 The first unit of the home, which (Continued on Page Four.) Lewis Suggests 76,000 Miners Return to Jobs WASHINGTON, Jan. 11 (INS) John L. Lewis today "suggested" that his 76,000 striking soft coal miners return to work next Monday.

The United Mine Workers president took the action in a brief telegram to UMVV district presidents in the affected areas. He said: "Will you please transmit to our members who are idle this week my suggestion that they resume production next Monday." Lewis' miners were working a three-day week before so-called "hit and run" strikes closed down pits in parts of eight states. UMW members returning to work will go back to the three-day schedule according to Union spokesmen. Although Lewis said he was "suggesting" a return to work by the idle tniners, his views are usually considered by UMW officials to be direct orders. Lewis has been deadlocked for several months in negotiations with major coal operators on a 1950 wage contract.

The union demands a 95-cent-a-ton boost in producers' contributions to the UMW welfare fund. Several Sign Several groups of small producers have signed with Lewis but the major operators have appealed to the National Labor Relations Board for a court injunction to end the coal production "slowdown" caused by the three-day week. Lewis imposed the three-day week in the mines last Dec. 5, and 325,000 UMW members are now working under that scheule. Most of the the 76,000 striking miners are employed in the "captive" mines operated by the big steel companies.

The sporadic work stop pages, which Lewis' "suggeston" is expected to end, occurred in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, Alabama Kentucky, Virginia, Utah and Montana. Legion to Stage Toy Drive Soon Collection of toys for the children of Europe will be made on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday of next week, according to Robert Handley, chairman of the American Legion committee in charge of the project. Three methods of collection were outlined as follows: (1) donors in and around Franklin can take their toys to C. B. Vawter, hardware store, or to the Stewart and Garner lunchroom at Bargersville; (2) the Franklin Pure Milk wilt pick up toys if people will leave them in suitable containers by the milk box, and (3) high school and elementary schools will serve as collection points for their respective students.

Suggest Notes It was suggested that notes of friendship be attached to the toys. Electric and military toys are not wanted. After the first collections are assembled at the above centers, the Double Cola Bottling company will round up of the toys which will be boxed at the American Legion. From Franklin the shipment will go by railroad to Philadelphia and then to Europe by boat. The railroads are providing transportation for the boxes of toys to point of shipment to Europe free of charge.

Indian Magician At High School K. L. Griffith, Cherokee Indian magician, and his family of entertainers were on the Franklin High School assembly program Tuesday afternoon. Direct from California and a native of New Mexico, the American Indian rode the cattle ranges at the age of 14.

A total of 8,050 intangibles tax stamps were sold during the year 1949 by the office of the county treasurer at a revenue amounting to $5,100.30, according to the annual report of the office prepared today. This compares to a year ago when the sale of 5,407 stamps brought a total of $3,647.75. Stamps are sold in nine different denominations, 5, 10, 15, 25 and 50 cents, $1, $1.50, $5 and $10.

During the last 10 days of the sale, from January 1 to 10, a total of $673.50 in stamps were sold by the office. On the final day, Tuesday, the sale reached $395.65. The new 1950 stamps went on sale today. Within 30 days after the end of each calendar year, the county treasurer returns to the state board of tax commissioners all the stamps in his possession bearing the date of the preceding year. Intangibles tax stamps muse be purchased for such papers as liens, promissory stocks, bonds, debentures, postal saving certificates, corporate mortgages, bills of sale, conditional sales contracts.

Notes and mortgages are stamped each year on the anniversary of their issuance. The intangibles must be stamped within 10 days of their issuance. Tax Law Is Outlined There are millions of dollars worth of securities in Indiana which are taxable under the general intangibles tax act of 1933, according to word received from Lawrence Arnsman, administrator of the intangible tax divisions. After making a careful study of the situation in regards to payment of the intangibles tax, Arnsman noted that many Hoosiers unknowingly have in their possession securities on which the tax should have been paid. He pointed out that having untaxed securities in ones possession is just as much a violation of the law as is selling taxable securities without properly affixing the intangibles tax stamp.

Persons having in their possession securities on which all tax should be paid may declare them with their county assessor or may call at the office of the intangibles tax division at 141 South Meridian street, Indianapolis, to have their securities properly negotiated.

Students Hear Dr. Portteus Dr. Walter C- Portteus, representing the Indiana Mental Health Council, gave Franklin College convocation listeners a picture of this state's facilities for the care of mental patients in his address Wednes- i day morning at the auditorium. The speaker criticized Indiana in that it is below average in compar ison with other states in the a-mount that they appropriate in ratio to per capita income. The average cost of keeping of a mental patient in the United States last year was just $1.44 per day, according to Dr.

Porteus. Use Half of Facilities Other significant figures cited were that half of the hospital beds in this country are given over to the mentally ill. Also one in 20 persons will be in need of mental treatment some time in his life. The taxpayers of Indiana give 14 million dollars for mental health annually. This amount is 10 per cent of the state's budget which must be used to nurse 14,000 mental patients.
