MERRY WAR OVER JUDGE'S BILL IS ragi;:g, ho humi 'Might Sell Courthouse Some Day,' Auditor Says in ' Protest. Protest against methods of payment for repairs to the courtroom of Superior Judge James M. Leathers was made today by County Auditor Leo K. Fealer when a bill for $3,000 was handed the county by Arthur M. j Robinson, attorney for the judge. The work was done under man- : date after the county council had appropriated the $3,000 and county commissioners had hesitated to order the work done. The commissioners said eight other courtrooms had received no appropriations. “I requested Mr. Robinson to have the creditors file their claims In a regular way on the county’s claim blank, so I could submit them to the commissioners in the regular way," j Fesler said. "Robinson replied that the Judge had inspected the work and material and found them all right, and he insists that I pay the amounts. "It is the most unusual procedure that has been presented to the auditor in the last eight years. I do not know of any law under which l can pay the bills. The law Is plain that the commissioners’ board is the proper body to build and maintain the Courthouse. "1 have not determined, however, to refuse to pay the bill. "Judge Leathers notified the commissioners that he had practically completed a sale of the old linoleum and furniture, and that, if the deal is completed, he wifi apply the proceeds to his new purchases. "It would seem that if a judge can sell the county’s property in that manner, he can proceed to sell the county’s Courthouse and grounds.”

POLITICIANS OF BOTH PARTIES , j DISCUSSM’CRAY Some Predict Governor's Resignation Will Be Asked by G. 0. P. The political aspect of the Indictment of Governor McCray was holding the attention of leaders in both | parties today. | Clyde M. Walb, Republican State chairman, Indicated he will confer j with party leaders the latter part jof next week. He would not indicate what attitude would be taken by himself or by the party organization officially. That McCray's resignation would be demanded by Republican party officials was freely predicted. It is expected that Walb will talk to many Republicans on this subject before he holds his conference. Among Democrats the feeling was that the developments speak for themselves and that party action would be i superfluous. Meet Oct. 1 In connection with Walb’s attitude, his action in calling a meeting of the Republican State commit) ee Oct. 1 was recalled. At th.AA time It was expected McCray be asked to resign. Simultaneously J with the meeting announcement was made there would be a grand jury in- , vestigation and the committee dropped it? inquiry. At that time many of ! the facts concerning McCray's acI t'vitiea, later made public in the bankI ruptcy hearing, were discussed. The fact he is indicted has no effect l on McCray’s status as Governor. If ;he is convicted he would be automatically removed from office, as con- | viction for a felony makes the con- | vict incapable of holding public office. Rumors of Impeachment Rumors concerning possible impeaehment of the Governor were cur- | rent, but It was pointed out impeachment is impossible without a session of the Legislature and that a session can be called only by the Governor. With his statement that he has "just begun to fight,” the Governor has continued his duties as chief executive. He was in his office today and referred persons who inquired concerning his Impending arrest to his attorneys. Friday afternoon he met ! with other members of the State finance committee discussing financial problems of the State, which are almost as complicated as the Governor’s personal finances. 60 New Ad Club Members Fifty new members are enrolled in the Advertising Club of Indianapolis as a result of a membership campaign, Edward H.
