ALL TEACHERS WILL BE PAID, LESLIE PLEDGE Executive's Selections for Commission Assailed by Educator. CITES POLITICAL ANGLE Governor Explains G. 0. P. Personnel of Body as Coincidence. ‘•Every teacher in state aid schools will be paid for her work,” Governor Harry G. Leslie announced today. "The state of Indiana, as long as I am Governor, will net go back on its honest debts.” The commission of thirteen appointed Tuesday to investigate the alleged bankrupt condition of state aid schools and prepare a possible rolution is to present the data which will disclose exactly how much money is owed teachers, Leslie said. No special session will be called, it was indicated, unless testimony points to absolute necessity for such \ session in order to keep the schools open. Appointments Criticised Bitter criticism ol the commission appointed by the Governor was uttered today by R. V. Edington, Martin county schools superintendent, who called the Shoals protest meeting last Friday. "The personnel of the commission Is made up of persons from nonstate aid counties,” declared Edington, “and all but one of the members are Republicans.” “It would seem to me to be an attempt to whitewash a legislature which failed to take care of or heed the Impoverished condition of the southern Indiana counties. “The state aid counties should \ have been given some representation ; on the commission,” declared Edington as he read the names of i those who compose the investiga- ! tory body. Personnel of Communism The members are: Roy P. Wisehart, state superintendent of public Instruction; Lawrence F. Orr, chief ; examiner of the state board of ac- , counts; State Senator Alonzo H. j Lindley of Kingman. State R”pre- j sentative George W. Freeman of Kokomo, Arthur H. Sapp of Hunt- j ington, past president of Rotary In- j temational: I. L. Wimmer of Greencastle, Indiana Taxpayers’ Association agent; John G. Rossman, East j Chicago school superintendent; J. W. Jones of the Terre Haute Normal college faculty, Guy C. Cantwell of Gosport, state board of agriculture member; T. M. McDonald of Princeton, attorney; Dwight S. Ritter, Indianapolis business m2n; Mrs. E. C. Rumpler, Indianapolis club woman, and Georgs G. Cole, Dearborn county school superintendent. They will serve without pay. A few townships in Putnam and Dearborn counties receive state aid, the records disclose. Cole is the only known Democrat, according to Edington. Leslie In Defense Governor Leslie declared that he never thought of politics when he selected the commission. "They may not come from state aid counties, but they are interested in state aid schools inasmuch as they have to pay taxes toward their upkeep,” said Leslie. “I endeavored to pick representative citizens and did not even know their politics myself. Any one can find fault with any commisison that may be appointed.” Comment on the commission was reserved by Thomas S. Jones, Cory - don attorney, who is chairman of the committee of five appointed at the Shoals conference of county school superintendents to request the Governor to call a special session of the legislature to obtain relief for the schools. Appears Representative “The list appears to be that of representative citizens, and no matter what their politics or attitude may be, they can come only to the conclusion that we need immediate aid when the facts are presented them,” he said. Jones declared he had interacted to call a meeting of the committee of five for the first week of January but now will inquire of Leslie when the state commission will meet Jones will arrange for the committee to appear and lay the facts before the commission. Facing Crisis Governor Leslie was advised today by State Senator Oliver Kline of' Huntington. Republican, that the schools in southern Indiana are facing a crisis and a special session Is imperative. He advised Leslie to call the session and then announce that, all bills except for state school would be vetoed. “This would make them stick only to state aid.” Kline said. He recommended appropriation of monev from the general fund to keep the schools open and operating. “No commission or board at present can give the necessary relief” he said.

CITY MAN DIES IN BUM FIGHT Ex-Convict Killed in Battle With Hijackers. Bu United Press BAINBRIDGE, Ind., Dec. 18.— Search is being made by authorities today for the liquor runners who shot and killed William Kempe Jr., \ 28, Indianapolis, former convict, in a i hijacking battle near here Tuesday night. It is believed the shooting occurred when Kempe and an unidentified companion attempted to rob an automobile driver and two companions of 100 gallons of liquor. Two men in the liquor car fled immediately after the shooting. License plates on the car Kempe and his companions occupied were issued to Roy Pipper, 635 Virginia avenue, Indianapolis. An extra set of plates found in the car were issued to Edward Sizomere, 1362 South Belmont avenue, Indianapolis. According to information obtained by police the hijackers passed the rum car and opened fire and immeditely were answered by shots from its occupants. A submachine gun was used by the hijackers. The automobile in which Kempe and his companion were riding carried a red light and a siren, which led officers to believe it may have the intention to make it appear as a police car in the attempt to steal the liquor. The body of Kempe was taken first to Greencastle and later brought to an Indianapolis mortuary. CLEWS ARE SOUGHT Willis Goes to Question Convict on Slaying. Criminal Investigator John Willis , left Indianapolis today for the Indiana state prison at Michigan City to question a prisoner there about circumstances attending the murder of Norman Schoen, Indianapolis po- ! liceman, near his home two years | ago.

Two detectives previously had questioned the man regarding the j murder. Schoen was fatally shot about midnight after he had left his duty as patrolman to go home. Clews that an automobile speeding away from the scene contained the muI derer were of no avail in the subsequent investigation.

TELEPHONE CO. FORCED TO AID IN DRYRAIDS Addresses of Patrons No Longer Held Secret by Coast Utility. BOOTLEGGERS TRAPPED Employes of Company Go With Sponge Squad on Liquor Drives. Bn Scripps-II mcard Nctcxrm.rr Alliance SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 17.—Use of the Pacific Telegraph and Telephone Company- by the prohibition department has been revealed here as the latest war tactics of the drys. William G. Walker, prohibition administrator for northern California, admitted that the big phone company, a wing of the American Telepnuue and Telegraph Company, has been furnishing dry raiders with the addresses of confidential telephone patrons and also has been assisting the raiders by removing the phones of alleged bootleggers for use in the courts as evidence. The new procedure has been used for the last eight Saturday nights in raids on alleged bootleg establishments. Previously, in trapping of bootleggers through secret phones, an order of liquor was asked for over the phone and the liquor delivered. This, Walker said, was unsatisfactory because it trapped only the man who delivered the booze. Under the co-operative agreement a double affidavit is made out calling for the co-operation of the phone company. After liquor has been ordered, the agents makes an affidavit that he “believes” liquor is being sold at a certain number. The number then is traced to an address furnished by the phone company and an affidavit to this effect is made out by the office manager of the “P. T. & T.” The agents and an employe of the phone company then make the raid together and the latter removes the phone as evidence for the court. Phone company officials declare that they are forced to co-operate with Uncle Sam’s agents. United States Commissioner Arthur Fiske admitted, however, that the office manager of the phone company, E T. O’Connel, came to his office in company of Herman Vandersee, assistant United States attorney, and started reading the information voluntarily. The same tactics were attempted on the Pacific Gas and Electric Company to force it to notify dry agents if and when a sudden jump in gas consumption of any patron indicated installation of a still. The gas company refused to inform upon its patrons until after the raid had been effected and arrest made. Helpful, Says Doran WASHINGTON, Dec. 18.—Confidential information obtained from California telephone companies under a court order there is likely to prove of considerable value to federal prohibition forces, in the opinion of Prohibition Commissioner James M. Doran. Doran said that throughout the country generally telephone companies usually have held that private numbers and addresses of their patrons were confidential. In the District of Columbia, he said, there has been some discussion of the question, and congress has considered opening telephone records to police and federal authorities. The California court’s decision was the only one of its kind that could be recalled by officials. Doran said he could not say definitely how widely the decision could be applied until he had studied it. In the case of Roy Olmstead of Seattle, the United States supreme court ruled that information obtained by dry agents by tapping telephone wires was admissible as evidence in prohibition cases. The California decision was viewed as a further step in the direction of making telephone records available. STUDY DOCTOR’S CASE State Medical Board May Revoke Drug Addict’s License The state board of medical examination and registration will meet Jan. 14, when it will take up revocation of the license of Dr. Grant S.

KILLER DENIES BOOZE CAUSED DUALMURDER War Veteran Admits Pair He Slew Near Muncie Were Kind to Him. PROUD OF ARMY MARK Insanity Is Expected to Be Plea of James Wood at Trial. Bn Times Special MUNCIE, Ind., Dec. 18—Liquor played no part in causing James E. Wood, 30, to brutally murder George F. Heath and his wife, Elizabeth, aged farm couple, at their home near here. During questioning which resulted in a confession by Wood, Kentucky moonshine was mentioned. “I never drink anything,” Wood remarked at once. Wood, World war veteran, the only man in the service from his native Kentucky county, is a big, blond man, who either feigns a lack of understanding of the enormity of his crime, or really is of a mental type which can not realize that the murder of two persons may cost his own life. Shows no Remorse Although expressing no remorse, the prisoner lias not mentioned even the slightest degree of hatred for the Heaths, with whom he made his home while employed on their farm. “I was never treated kinder by anybody,” Wood says. It is apparent as Wood is questioned that he will rely upon his war service to win mercy for him when he is tried on a first-degree murder charge. He is proud ol his war record. “I killed several of ’em,” he boasts, while discussing what he did “over there.” Jim Wood is not an educated man, but under questioning by Prosecutor Joe Davis, he demonstrated that he is far from being illiterate. He says he has “gone through” the grade schools of his Kentucky county. Education Is Tested To test the man’s memory and education, the prosecutor asked some questions answers to which would necessitate using words the little educated do not have in their vocabularies. Not once did Wood err. Asked to relate jobs he has held in and around Muncie, the prisoner said: “I can’t give them in rotation.” Wood was brought to the jail here from Anderson, first being lodged at Indianapolis after his arrest at Albany, Ky. At Anderson he made a full confession of the crime. There he was interviewed by newspaper men, but this was without permission of Sheriff Harry McAuley of Delaware county, that official declares. While in the Anderson jail Wood occupied a cell where Leonard Clay, Andprson policeman, committed suicide rather than face trial for murder. Prepared for Alibi Evidence was found that Wood had made preparations for an alibi, making it appear he was in Lexington, Ky., on the night of the murder. This was shown by an unfinished letter addressed to his wife and dated at Lexington. The letter was found on his person at the time of his arrest. The seven children of the couple will share equally in a $16,000 estate, according to the will of Mr. Heath, filed for probate here. The grand jury, after hearing witnesses Tuesday, instructed the prosecutor to prepare first-degree murder charges against Wood. The prisoner has been visited by his father, Samuel A. Wood, and Attorney J. A. Flowers, both of Albany. The attorney announces insanity will be the defense plea. He declares Wood has been mentally unbalanced since returning from overseas and that his family has had considerable trouble with him. RAIDERS GET SEVEN Gambling Alleged at Columbus Home. Bn Times Special COLUMBUS, Ind., Dec. 18.— Owen Grider, barber, and six other men were arrested following a police raid on the Grider home, where it is charged gambling was in progress.

After a brief fortnight of married life, Mary Macklin Popesco, 20-year-old daughter of a wealthy Chicago and California art dealer, has filed suit to annul her marriage to Count Aurelien Popesco, Rumanian portrait artist, with whom she is shown here.

IMPEACHMENT ROW STARTED IN LYNNHURST Town Board Moves to Oust Mayor and Finds Itself in Legal Tangle. KELLOGG SHOWS FIGHT Chairman of Trustees Is Fined in Weapon Case, and Appeals. With a resolution to impeach Ernest Kellogg, “mayor” of Lynnhurst, passed unanimously at a mass meeting at school No. 14 Tuesday night, citizens of Lynnhurst were in a legal labyrinth today. Kellogg’s impeachment must come before the town board. The town board, with the exception of Kellogg and H. W. Powell, seems to be holding office Illegally. Kellogg, willing to resign his position as board chairman and “mayor” in peaceful times, is antagonistic toward any attempt to impeach him or to force his resignation “under fire.” He has engaged legal aid to combat efforts to oust him. Fined on Weapon Charge Kellogg, fined SIOO and costs for carrying concealed weapons and SIOO and costs for drawing deadly weapons, at a hearing in Judge Wetter’s court Tuesday afternoon, as a result of hostilities at the Lynnhurst town board meeting Monday night, appealed the verdict under bond of $2,000. Meeting at school No. 14 Tuesday night, under auspices of the Wayne Township Civic League, and the Lynnhurst Civic League, citizens of the town and surrounding territory considered the situation which has arisen from annexation of 2,164 acres to the town. A resolution for “impeachment” of Kellogg was Introduced by F. S. Galloway and was passed unanimously. Cooler leaders of the two leagues, after the mass meeting, met and decided upon a “peaceful” campaign, if possible. It was indicated today that Kellogg’s resignation would be sought. Means Long Court War Impeachment proceedings would be possible only after a long court battle, it was indicated. Kellogg contends that five members of the town board of trustees, selected by himself and H. W. Powell, holdover board member, were elected illegally, because five days’ written notice was not given. The town board would be required to impeach Kellogg and can not act unless its legality is established. Without court proceedings, Powell alone would be legally entitled to sit on Kellogg's case. Kellogg today indicated he had intended to resign from the board, “because it takes too much time.” However, he indicated he would not resign “under fire,” and said any impeachment proceedings would be an antagonistic move.” He did not attend the civic meeting Tuesday night, at which sixty district chairmen were appointed to circulate petitions among lot owners for disannexation of the annexed territory. Each district chairman will name three or four helpers. Board Members Speak Don Branigin, James McGuire and Claude Williamson, town board members elected by Kellogg and Powell, spoke at the civic meeting. Branigin presented a motion for reorganization of the town board Monday night and Kellogg, his position as president, threatened, declared the meeting adjourned. When board members protested, Kellogg drew a revolver and backed to the door, where he was disarmed by twenty-two spectators. His arrest and fines grew out of the incident. RITES SCHEDULED FOR WOMAN AUTO VICTIM Driver of Car Faces Charges of Involuntary Manslaughter. , Funeral services for Mrs. Minnie DalhLser, 53, of 617 Grande avenue, fatally injured when struck by an automobile Monday night, are to be held at 2 p. m. today.
