j i j Mciof Records

for April

out today

ij P • l

Never before have the contending' passions in Donizetti’s “Sextette” from “Lucia” been so gloriously set forth as in the new Victor record for April. GalliCurci’s soprano rides over the ensemble of Caruso, Journet and the others like foam on the crest of a wave. You will call it the most wonderful record you ever enjoyed—after you have heard it at Stewart’s. Other April records form a suitable setting for this jewel. We will gladly play them all for you.

These are just a few: \.

French Bualneaa World Hit PARIS, Maroh 28.—The government’s decreer prohibiting all imports except such as may be authorized specifically by the government, continues to agitate the business world of France. The

meeting yesterday of the derogation commission, which will decide the exceptions to be made to the decree, was watched with great interest. Some merchants declared that If these exceptions were Insufficient they would be compelled to close down their businesses, as French manufacturers .in certain lines were unable to meet the needs of the country. Proof of this. It was said, was that they were placing orders in the -United States, regardless of the price of the article or guaranties as to

delivery.

G. COLLICOTT FORMALLY RESIGNS POSITION.'

NO COMMENT ON THE ACTION J. G. CoIIicott, who resigned as superintendent of the Indianapolis public schools March 16 to become state .deputy superintendent .of vocational education, sent his formal resignation to the school board last night and it was accepted without comment. H. S. Gruver was appointed acting superintendent pending the selection of a permanent head of the schools. The school board has not made any public announcement of its negotiations for obtaining a new superintendent, although this matter has been haugin fire for several -weeks. Rumors have been current from time to time that the board was anxious to obtain an-out-of-town educator for the position. Mr Gruver received pemnssion to employ a sufficient number of high school teachers for next fail In anticipation of the shortage which always occuca during the summer vacation. Addition to School No. 58. The contract for erecting an addition of four rooms to school No. 58 was given to Schlegel & Rophm. Linwood and New York streets. The electric wiring will be done by the Electric Supply Corr^pany for $269, Six portable senooi ounenngs win ne ordered, two for School 57, two for School 56, one for School 54, and jone to be held in reserve. It was shown that a total pf $1.07117 has been collected for the Newcastle tornado victi/ns by the children of the schools. The board decided not to authorize another collection for the New Albany sufferers but to send three-fifths of the amount collected to New Albany. A. S. Hurrell, assistant superintendent in charge of vocational and industrial education, called attention to the met that the extension department of Indiana university is planning to conduct a normal school In Indianapolis next summer for the training of vocational teachers. He said such a school was of great importance to the Indianapolis schools, which should assist financially in. its maintenance. The' board took the matter under advisement. . . • ■ Flag In Each Schoolroom. Mr. Gruver reported that the order of the board to have the American flag placed in each schoolroom and the oath of aheglance to the flag given to the children had been complied with W A. Ocker, director of physical education proposed that a physical training exhibition should be given at the fairground in the latter part of May, Mrs. Julia Belle Tutewller and William M. Taylor, members of the board, said they would object to such an exhibition unless the participation In the affair was made optional for the teachers and pupils and proper street car accommodations were provided. Eroil C. Rassmann, Theodor Stempfel and Mrs. Tutewller were named aq.trustees for the teachers’ pension fund for three years. SUPREME COURT. Abstracts of Opinions Handed Down March 27, 1917. LOST WILLS—PROCEEDINGS TO ESTAB-

LISH.

23315. Emil Fletcher vs. Nellie B. Fletcher et al. Marlon C. C. Afflrmed. DUry, C. J. This was a proceeding to establish a loaf will by which the appellant, sister of decedent. contended she wa* given *15.000. but the .other terms of the alleged will were not attempted to be proved. The parties to the appeal give much argument upon the question of whether or not a single item of a lost will can be proved, but the court holds j that a decision of this .question Is not essential to a decision of the appeal, as the evidence as set out in the record Is of such nature that the decision of the trial court

might hav* been upon the ground that jthe

ne of the n proved,

burden was upon appellant to prove

existence of a valid will at the time of . death of the decedint had not been prov

as the b lea —~ - —

the execution of a valid will and that U had. not been revoked at the time of the death of the decedent. The evidence is not such as to require a reversal of a Judgment based upon the ground that she had not estab-

lished this burden of proof.

{ (1) Paternity suit by appellee. Appellant j appeared before Justice and filed general objections to his right to hear the cauae as a* justice of the peace, but was bound over under bond. In the circuit court appellant specifically pointed out that the Justice upon second election had failed to qualify, and had accepted appointment as deputy asi sessor, which objections were overruled and Judgment against appellant. The appellate court recognites the rule that the Justice could not hold two offices that after accepting the deputy ship of assessor be could ! not thereafter assume the office which he had vacated, but holds that the conditions were such as to make the Justice a de facto officer as Justice, and that the general objections filed by the appellant before the justice court was not sufficient to so challenge hit Jurisdiction as to permit him on appeal to ignore the action of the justice in binding him over to the circuit court. De facto officers are considered at length. DIRECTED VERDICTS - RAILROADS —

th* hill was aiad by th# Judga

ordered to be made a part of the record. (I) The appellant's assignment for a new trial that the verdict of the Jury Is contrary to law presents fhe correctness of the trial court's action In dlrscting the verdict, though the matter is not presented through a bill of exceptions. (1) The action by the appellant in obtaining an amendatory certificate of the clerk of the triad court ovtrcomes ths motion of the appellee to dismiss for tnsufficlsncy of ths certifioats of the clerk to the record. <4) The fact that the only damaged beneficiary kin proved at the trial were three maiden aunts did not authorize the direction of a verdict becauar there was no proof of whether or not decedent left surviving dependent grandchildren, though the complaint alleged that the aunta were the nearest surviving dependent kin. (5) Where the road maintained a double track, decedent delivered a shipment by express and was expecting a shipment of milk cans on a train departing eastward upon the track farthest from the depot building, where shipments were deposited upon a cinder platform along that track and across both tracks from the station building, and the east-bound train was Just pulling out. and ths decedent had stepped upon the west-bound track (which was muck curved) and was killed by a train operated at very high speed, the questions ot negligence of the railroad and contributory

negligence of docendent should have been left to the Jury,, and It was error to direct a verdict. (4) On a rule "trains must use caution In passing a train receiving or discharging passengers at a station, and must not pass between It and the platform at which the passengers art being received or discharged.'* the first part of the ,nils adds nothing to railroad s duty of care, but evidence Is admissible to show that the passen gere are discharged across ths track of the approaching train by a circuitous route. (7) If was error to exclude testimony of the kind of a farmer the decedent was, as thsre la more damage In the killing of an industrious, efficient fartnar than an Indolent, Incompetent one. 11) In action for death, it la error to require the payment of the eoets of the action out of th# assets of the estate, as ths action has no refereuc# to the rights of those who may have title to the estate.
