They ust closed their eyes and ran wild. ?hey discipline school children, but ail to obey any discipline themelves. I am surprised the superinendent would stand by and see it lone." I Entertainments in Schools According to stories in circulation, blmhardt and Dr. Marie Haslep, presdent of the board, said, entertainments to raise funds for Miss Alice Jullen, candidate of the school teachirs, were given at some schools during ichool hours, and only children who tad purchased ticket? were permitted to attend. fc>ehool ouilding auditoriums were used for entertainments without the consent of the board, it was charged. Also, it wras said, school children were urged to buy tickets to various entertainments, for the benefit of Miss Cullen’s candidacy. This is forbidden by regulations of the board, it was pointed out.

Probe Move Lost A motion by Emhardt to direct E. U. Graff, superintendent of schools, to investigate the manner in which the Good Will contest was conducted In the schools, failed for lack of a second. Only three members were present at the time. Dr. Haslep, who was presiding and could not second the motion; Emhardt and Charles L. Barry. Barry, who refused to second the motion, said: “I have fullest confidence in the teachers,” and I believe whatever they did they did believing it was proper.” Promises Investigation "I have positive information tickets were sold to pupils,” Dr. Haslep said. "Personally I intend to investigate the matter and already have made arrangements to do so.” The contract for a shop building at Yandes and Sixteenth St. was awarded to the lowest bidder, Charles J.

The question was referred to the buildings and grounds committee. Plans Are Authorized Another step toward carrying out the building program adopted recently was taken when McGuire & Shook, architects, were authorized to prepare new plans for a ten classroom building at No. 62 school. Tenth and Wallace Sts. The plans will replace those made about two years ago.

Borah Assails Supreme Court for Wage Law Blow

By United Aries _WASHING!ON, April 11.—With a toirent of criticism pouring in upon the Supreme Court for knocking out the minimum wage principle, a general stir of activity has become apparent looking toward amendment of the constitution on other remedies which would prevent further decisions of the high court by a majority of one, on which this latest decision was virtually based.

TURK RATIFICATION OF CHESTER GRAM PRECIPITATES CRISIS Serious Internationa! Situation Created by Action of Angora Government, By t nited Ureas WASHINGTON, April 11. A serious international situation has been created by the action of the Turkish nationalist parliament at Angora in ratifying the so-called Chester concession for a vast development and exploitation of Turkish and former Turkish territory, observers in Washington were convinced today. Great Britain Is certain to contest the Chester concession, as the plan strikes squarely at vast British interests in the Near East the London government is consistently fighting to maintain. Not alone does the ratification of the Chester concession mean that It will be fought by Great Britain, but this action at Angora causes a serious clash of Interests between two American groups. United States in Delicate Position Finally, the United States Government is thrown into a delicate position, because the rival plans of two great American groups studying the development scheme, one of which Is backed by Great Britain, may : make it difficult for this Government j to give active support to the Chester concession. Briefly, tins is the Chester con cession: 1 — A vast system of railroads —hun dreds of miles of them —is to be con -j structed throughout eastern Anatolia. 2 The rights to the oil and other mineral development are granted In the territory stretching for twenty kilometers on each side of these railroads. There are similar water power grants. 3 Two ports are to be constructed, one on the Black Sea at Samsun and the other on the Mediterranean at Youmourtalik. Modern C ily Planned Even the construction of a great, modern city at Angora, as the new capital of Turkey, is planned. Oil la at the bottom of this question, as it Is found behind so many grave international questions today. Great Britain holds the mandate over Mesopotamia, or technically, the State of Uraq. Therefore the Turkish Nationalist government has granted a concession in a territory’ over which It exercises no control. The conflict between two great; American groups comes In that there exists a tacit understanding between j the great oil companies of Great Britain and America that the American companies shall have an Important share In the development of Moseul oil with Great Britain and France.

and the poople have apparently asked for it, believing it constitutional, It seems unwise to have the law overthrown by a ‘yes? or ‘no’ upon the part of one judge,” Borah declared. He said he believed Congress has the power to pass a law such as he advocates, which provides that all State laws or acts of Congress whose constitutionality is called in question shall stand unless seven out of the nine judges hold them unconstitutional. Borah's views are shared by several other progressive members .of Congress. Declaring the ton-hour law in New York, the income tax law, the child

That a State employe who had been discharged for falsifying expense account receipts was placed back on the State pay roll during the McCray administration and recently given a salary Increase of S6OO a year. That his Terre Haute speech was in no way an attack on the Governor or on his administration. Regrets McCray Attitude ”1 regret exceedingly the position taken by Governor McCray In the matter of my talk to the Men’s League, but I, too, have an oath of office on file to support the constitution of Indiana and execute the laws as I find them and not as my friends or I might wish to find them,” Eschbach said. ”1 couldn’t violate that oath to bring success to my friends or to my future. . "Under no circumstances nor conditions could I or would I have ao cepted reappointment as State ex aminer, but the mere retention of an appointive position ought never Influence an official In deciding between right and wrong.” In speaking of his speech he said; “My main thought was the general inefficiency and extravagance which has developed Into a system through years of growth and nourishment and which threatens to bankrupt the Nation, the State and various municipalities of this country unless a halt Is soon called. Tke wealthy taxpayer may continue for years to contribute his portion to the rapidly increasing burdens but the great class of our citizens with moderate means and the taxpayer with only his little home must have relief soon or give up the fight."

labor law and th.e minimum wage law have all been killed by five-to-four decisions, Borah said that he does not “believe it is good government to have that practice continue." The bitterest criticism of the court’s decision came Tuesday from Samuel Gompers, who declared that it was “appalling arid almost beyond comprehension that such language and such reasoning could be written into a decision of the court of last resort.” “I recall no recent decision which so basely sets forth the reactionary employer viewpoint of wage earners,”

the children's bureau of the department of labor urged motion picture censorship is “unwise and dangerous." “Bad influences movies have on < hildren are growing less and are exaggerated, anyway," she said. ”1 doubt if the usual love film interests ihe majority of children. "Any form of censorship is dangerous, as it centers too much authority on a small group of persons. Censor il.ip of the press and platform Is likely to result." Miss Lathrop declared the influence of the 81ms Is gradually failing off. “Audiences are lessening, principally because of the use of old plots. There are few movies that have any individuality. The hulk of them seem to have come from a packing house.”

Eschbach outlined ids program for a reduction of State expenditures as previously outlined at Terre Haute. It Included four points: Decrease In the number of Inmates In State institutions; Increase In efficiency of State institutions; increase in effllciency and economy of State's business: more business In our politics and lass poll tics In our business. Urges Fewer Employes Under the heading of Institutions he declared the reformatory and penal farm have one employe to each fourteen Inmates: the girls’ school, one employe to about five inmates; the Soldiers’ Home, one employe to about three patients; the farm colony, one employe to three patients, and the State prison, one employe to twentyone Inmates. He declared the State business could be conducted more economically with fewer employes and that "some employes might render more efficient service If they understood they were servants of the taxpayers, and not merely office executives, entertainment committees, or officials conducting a campaign for a more lucrative office.” Ho declared “if business men con ducted their business like many politicians and officeholders conduct their part of the Government, their business would soon be in bankrupty.” Censures Expense Accounts Eschbach declared In his Terre Haute speech he criticised expense accounts of the head of the probation department, particularly hotel bills incurred while she was “lobbying to retain her position.” The State examiner went into de tail concerning his recommendations In regard to combining the historical commission with the State library. He said expenses of the historical depart ment have climbed rapidly and presented detailed figures in support of his contention. He also told of a State Department which requested an emergency appropriation so its work would not be curtailed and which then increased the salaries of its employes. Ho did not name the department, hut said the Governor approved the salary increases.

he said. “The court says tha£ labor is to be bought just as groceries are bought. All progressive men and women must resent the language used by the court in this decision. It demands humanity. Women and girl wage earners are to be bought over the counter.” Governor John J. Blaine of Wisconsin characterized the decision of the court as “eighteenth century principles trying to fit into twentieth century industrialism.” He declared that the minimum wage law of Wisconsin, enacted in 1920, has worked in a highly successful manner.

The only note of approval Tuesday came from representatives of the National Women’s Party. Their favorable comment brought a sharp retort from Gompers, who said that "it may not be amiss to point out at this time that this decision harmonizes exactly with the logic which supports the demand of an aristocratic woman’s organization for a blanket amendment to remove ail legislative inequalities between men and women, the effect of which would be to annul all laws seeking to protect women from some of the evil results of Industry.”
