MURPHY RESIGNS FROM SERVICE COMMISSION

Private Business Takes His Time— Governor Names GOshen Lawyer To Succeed Him.

Charles J. Murphy, of Brookston, who has been a member of the public ; service commission since it was ' founded, tendered his resignation Monday and Governor Ralston appointed Anthony Deajil, of Goshen, to the place. The chapge will be made on May Ist. In his resignation Mr. Murphy stated that private business required his time and that he was arranging to engage in another enterprise early in the summer. When the commission was created on May 1, 1913, Murphy was appointed for a two-year term. Last year he was appointed to a four-year term. The job pays $6,000 per year. Mr. Murphy has extensive farming and stock raising interests at Brookston and is also engaged in the banking business in Brookston and Indianapolis. It is not improbable that he will become directly interested in the management of the Indianapolis bank of which Eben Wolcott was last week made president. Mr. Deahl, who succeeded Mr. Murphy on the commission, is a graduate of the law department of Michigan University, having left that in June, 1890. He at once entered the law practice at Goshen and has been located there since that time.
