Os course if the board decides to acquiece in the governor's wishes they can easily end and the pool selling by applying for an injunction to carry out the terms of the lease, but as there has been pool selling at the state f»ir races the hoard is not likely to cut it out for others. By United Press News Association. Indanapolis. June 28—Shorty after noon several members of the agriculture board held a session. President Niblack, cf Vincennes, wired the board that unexpected business detained him and that he could not come to Indianapolis at all. The board then adjourned and will hold no more meetings until August. No action whatever was taken. Sheriff Sourbier this morning in a statement said ‘my only regrets are that I did what 1 did Monday in making the arrests. The governor is half hearted in his reform. He, himself attended the German turners’ convention last week and saw the liquor law violated. I asked him why he did not stop it, and he replied that it is too late in the week now. This was untrue because the convention was not half through at that time. I will not interfere again with the present pool selling.'' With the state board of agricultuie, the sheriff of Marion county and the mayor of Indianapolis, all keeping hands off. it is again up to the gov ernor. He can do one of three things. First try again jto coerce the officers to stop pool selling, second, call it a clean backdown, third call cut tne troops. The governor is out of the city, but will return tonight. Indianapolis, June 28--[n his officii answer to Governor Hanly’s recent letter the attorney general has given an opinion that the governor has no right to call out the troops to end pool selling.
