SAYS LEPPERT CASE MAY BE JURY MATTER (Contlram 'Pfram Page One.) that since its organization, it has been the policy of the State Board of Accounts to refer all matters of adjustments which come within the province of the prosecuting attorney to the prosecuting attorney's office and if the prosecuting attorney recommended it and the judge approved it, we have taken the position that they had full knowledge of the facts and were In the best position to recommend and approve any adjustments. We doubt our jurisdiction in matters of that kind, unless there is fraud or collusion; In either of which cases we immediately call the matter to the attention of 'the judge for reference to the grand Jury. _ „ We suggest that if the facts as finally ascertained are as set out in your letter. that the matter should be called to the attention of the court for reference to the grand Jury. Very trulyyours, JESSE E. ESCHBACH. ' State Examiner. JEE :GG \ WROTE TO STRAIGHTEN OCT THE CONTROVERSY. “This was in onswer to my letter to him of Sept. 25, 1920, which is as follows : Hon. Jesse E. Eschbach. State Examiner, 52 Statehouse. City: Dear Sir—A controversy has arisen over the attempted release and satisfaction b> the prosecuting attorney of Marion County of the judgments against Lorenz Leppert. for $2,000 In favor of the state, upon the payment of SSOO. The Republican candidate for prosecuting attorney says that these judgments were released with the approval of the State Board of Accounts, and I have made a statement, which I have been reliably Informed is true, that von declined to give your written approval of this transaction. These judgments were procured in the Clreuit Court in causes No. 32114 and 32118 Their attempted release and satisfaction is in conflict with our constitu tion (Sec. 17. Art. 51. with our statute (Sec. 2033. Burn R. S. 1914). and with the decision of our Supreme Court (Butler vs. State, 97 Ind. 373). An examination of the abstract of title to the property located at Harding and Washington streets, which was appraised for taxation on March 1 for $13,749. shows that the unpaid balance of $1,500 upon these judgments is a lien upon this real estate, junior only to taxes. I do not want to misquote you and in order that I may correctly know your position in the matter I ask that you advise me whether It is true that you declined to give your written approval of these compromises and whether in the Judgment of the State Board of Accounts the attempted release of these Judgments is valid. Thanking yon for your attention to this matter and an early reply to. this letter. I am. Very truly yours. PAUL G. DAVIS. D:W. “I have withheld the publication cf this correspondence in order that when I used it I might at the same time publish a list of the forfeited bond cases which Mr. Eschbach says the Republican prosecutor has endeavored to compromise for 50 per cent for the public and a 100 per cent prosecutor’s fee. but, no doubt, owing to the fact that Mr. Eschbach has been busy, he has not furnished me with tills information. INFORMATION NEVER FURNISHED HIM. “My letter to him of Oct. 15 is selfexplanatory and is as follows: Hon. Jesse E. Eschbach, Statehouse, City. Dear Mr. Eschbach: On Sept. 2S yon wrote me that you would be glad to give me a list of the cases upon forfeited bonds which the Marion County prosecutor has attempted to get your permission to settle upon a basis of 50 per cent, he to be permitted to receive 100 per cent fee. I asked that you send me this information on Sept. 29 and again on Oct. 7. I want It very much and I wish that you would have someone give It to me if you are too-busy to take care of it -ourself. Very truly yours, PAUL DAVIS. D:W. ' " ~~ “The Republican candidate for prosecutor has said that I am basing my campaign upon a personal attack of the Re-

publican prosecutor and himself. This is neither my Intention nor is it a fact. ; nave no reason or wish to reflect upon the Integrity of either of these gentlemen, but I assert my right and duty, as the Democratic candidate for prosecutor, to call to the public’s attention the records which these Republicans have made themselves and I unhesitatingly charge that these Republican-made records show upon their face a failure in ! the performance of duty and a violation lof a public trust, which should meet j with the condemnation of all right-think - | ing people who are not blinded by partii san polities. “The Republican State board of accounts Suggests that the action of the Republican prosecutor in the Leppert case should be Investigated by the Marlon County grand jury; it has openly charged that other Republican County officials have engaged in a free hand spending of the public funds without any contract, without competitive bidding aud with entire disregard of law and goon business judgment.’ “The Republican prosecutor has, himself, petitioned and prevailed upon the : county officials to pay $1,700 of the tnx- ! payers* money to pay for the assis an< of a lawyer in the trial of the Haag T < r 1 jury oases, when, under the^lerisv^ris^^

The above is the first of a set of rules for good coffee cited by the National Coffee Roasters’ Association in the advertisements which are part of a miliion-dollar, four-years publicity campaign now on. Years before it began, The Fishback Cos. was doing even better than recommending fruit jars. It was selling coffee in seal-top fruit cans, best of all receptacles for retaining the flavor and aroma of coffee, and avoiding exposure of the grain by transferring to any kind of a jar.
