“Sleeping Giant” at Mt.
Carm el to Include
1,600 Acres Eventu-
ally
MT. CARMEL. 001111.. Oct. 13.—
Opening of the Sleeping Giant park,
here. Saturday. marked another-ex-
tension of the state's reservation of
land for public use and. enjoyment.
Abouudlng in natural beauties that
make it ideal as a. public recreation
space. the new park is expected to
be liberally patronized.
The tract has been long a source
of interest because of the fact. that
the four hills. rising one above an.
other give the appearance of a huge
giant stretched in repose. Mt. Car-
mel forming the head and the other
hillu the remainder of the imagina-
tive structure.
Saving of the tract from the en-
croachment by commercial interests
has been effected by an association,
which secured subscriptions both of
land and money for its preservation
as a. playground. A stone quarry had
been operating or. the elevation
which formed the head of the giant
and us the work of the crusher de—
manded stone from the side of the
hill. the contour was in danger of
destruction.
The. proposed park will eventually
include approximately 1.600 acres
and will be almost two miles in
length. which is the distance from
the giant's head to the point where
the imaginative can picture his up-
turned toes. At the present time
the subscribers have secured fordho
association over 300 acres and the.
attitude of the state park commis-
sion as expressed by one of the
members, Lucius F. Robinson. at the
opening exercises today. is to bee};
the association in its efforts to
complete control of the proposed
tract.
Davis Calls Tariff Unbonstlmtlonal.
INDIANAPOLIS, 1nd.. Oct. 13.—
It is the opinion of John \V. Davis.
Democratic nominee for president
and former president of the Ameri-
can Bar Association. that the Ford-
ney-McCumber tariff bill violates
the constitution of the United States.
Mr. Davis announced this belief
in an attack made here on the tariff
act and reiterated today that the
law "not only violates the constitu-
tion of the United States. but also
violates one at the deepest traditions
of the liberty-loving peoples of the
world."
In support of this constitution, the
candidate cited the clause contained
in the bill, which he said gave the.
President "uncontrolled discretion to
raise the rates of the income tax or
lower them as much as fifty per
cent."

Speed Boat Belonging '
Sinks Off Pequot
Club
SOUTB'PORT, Oct. 18.——The Pick-
anlnny, a 36-foot. express speed boat
valued at: $10,000 belonging to With-
erbee Black. of Rose Hill. was de-
stroyed by fire late yesterday after-
noon and sank in Southport harbor.
The boat was anchored off the Pe-
quot Yacht club some distance out
from the shore when the fire started
from a back-fire while Mr. Black's
captain was tuning up the motor in
preparation for a cruise.
The captain fought the flames
with fire extinguishers until he saw
that. the fire was getting the better
of him and nearing the gasoline
tank and then he jumped into the
dory and pulled to a safe distance
just as the gas tank went up in a
cloud of smoke and flame. He
made a second attempt to fight the
flames. as did members of the fire
company which was called. but the
boat was too far out in the water
for the firemen to lend much assist-
ance.
The boat was of the low built
type, made of solid mahogany, and
equipped with. a. 300 11% p. gasoline
motor. The fire burned for about
an hour and a half and then the
charred remains of the valuable
boat were slowly pulled beneath the
waves by the heavy motor and sank
to the bottom of the harbor, where
it will probably remain.
Mr. Black who is one of the
prominent residents of Southport,
believes that ”whom. is insured.
