It is reported that not less than 207 oanks are involved. The; location of approximately 160 of these banks is shown in the map by shading the counties. The other 47 banks involved are said to take in most of the other counties of the state. KENTLAND, Ind. —The financial activities of Gov. Warren T. McCray of Indiana were legally ripped open Tuesday (Oct. 9) at a formal court examination of witnesses involved in suits brought against the chief executive by eight banks. Several witnesses testified that Mr. McCray had signed names other than bis own to notes given banks, notes which he admits he cannot make good. It also was testified that Mr. McCray, since the financial crash which he blames on agricultural depress'on, had called several of the persons whose names were signed on these notes and urged them to rescue him by swearing that the signatures were made with their consent. Alve Herriman, of Brook, Ind., testified that he told McCray, “When they ask me about notes where you’ve Used my name I'm going to tell the truth.” Then Herriman, a husky mar. of 45, proceeded to tell under oath what he meant by “the truth.” Frank Henderson was called, the examination being in compliance with the Indiana state law that witnesses in such suits may be formally questioned on their testimony prior to the trials, which have been set for Oct, 29. His testimony is first in importance. Henderson termed himself a Ijiyed man of McCray’s, working on one of the governor’s farms for 175 a month. He was called on the suit of the Marion Hnd.) National hank, which wants to get back $3,000 it gave the governor on a note signed “Hickory Island Stock Farm, F. Henderson, Manager” and bearing McCray’s added indorsement.

HIGHWAY REPAIR (Continued from Page One) ty, will mean a reduction of about $50,000.00 in the budgets for next year. This figure is obtained by using the $41,013,130.00 amount as the valuation in the county. Reduced Bridge Program. The bridge program will be reduced by half as a result of the 5-cent cut made by the state board. The, ’"-cent levy as proposed would have raised approximately $42,000.00, the •mount needed to construct and repair the five or six new- bridges proposed for next year. The 5-cent levy Will yield about $21,000.00, making it Impossible, it is thought, to build more than half of the proposed bridges, unless building conditions are adjusted to a lower level by next •Pting. The General Fund. The reduction in the general fund •mounts to about $8,200.00. At the hearing on October sth certain of the

remonstrators objected to the $7,000 levy for the operation of the county hospital and sums appropriated according to law for deputy hire of the county officials. During the war period the legislature passed a law giving the auditor and clerk an appropriation for deputy hire and this cannot bo changed unless the law is repealed. No public official would be expected to pay his deputy if the law provided he was allowed compensation for office help. At least no county official in Indiana does it. It is not known what sums will be reduced in the general fund, the state tax commissioners not specifying what appropriations should be deducted of eliminated. The City’s Rate Stand. At the bearing here on October sth the remonstrators withdrew their appeal on the city of Docatur’u individual rata of 76 cents on the hundred dollars and the state board left it stand at this figure. The civil city’s individual rate was reduced 11 cents

The rate could not have been reduced without injuring the financial standing of the city government and on second thought the remonstrators withdrew wltl/ appeal against the proposed rate.

Those fans fortunate enough to | have a seat In the bleachers for a 1 big college football battle today, ought to feel pretty smart. t 1 Anderson and Westfield played a 13 to 13 tie yesterday, while Jefferson of Lafayette won from Garfield - of Terre Haute, 14-0. 1 Our friend A. Leadpencil at Wabash opinioned yesterday that we ‘ would be surprised if Wabash beat Emerson, of Gary today. Well, rather. ' Evidently it would surprise Leady, ' himself, because in his column he picked Emerson for a winner. I, Peru is feeling real confident of winning the conference title now since beating Logansport Wednesday, 20-12. Here's the head the Peru Tribune used over the story of the game: “Tigers Headed Straight Down the Pike To Conference Championship.” But the following item at the end of the story intimate that they haven't forgotten that the Yellow Jackets are still in the race: “It is predicted that the Peru-Decatur game will decide the conference championship.” Gaskins, tho colored tackle on the Huntington eleven, has been declared ineligible on account of his grades. He was considered one of the best at • Huntington. although the Yellow Jackets stopped him very effectively. I Celina high school is organizing a band and expects to have it ready to play for the next football game. Why couldn't we have a band in D. H. S. A red hot band is half of a football game, especially the celebration. Now that D. C. H. 8. has another game booked with C. C. H. S. Coach Center’s men will have something to work for. We’ll wager that C. C. H. S, will notice the effects of the work. too.
