FIGHT RENEWED ON ENUMERATION IN CITY SCHOOLS Ft, Wayne Man Charges Evansville Roll ls.‘Grossly Padded,’ Lewis Ward, Ft. Wayne superintendent of schools, in a letter to Benjamin Burris, State superintendent. charges school enumeration figures returned by Evansville are “grossly padded or the Evansville attendance department is so utterly incompetent as to demand investigation from the State office.” Ward Sent a copy of the letter to Governor Branch. The three cities in the State with the highest enumeration are allowed representation. They are Indianapolis South Bend and Evansville. Ft. Wayne Loses Out This year's count shows Ft. Wayne’s enumeration 198 less than Evansville. Ward was successful in forcing through an investigation in South Bend last year, seeking to get Ft. Wayne back on the board. The investigation showed the* enumeration to be correct and Ft. Wayne lost its standing on the board. Os last year's case Ward said: “Last year’s perfunctory investigation merely invited further depredations this year.” Ward said Evansville received $12,000 more money from the State on a basis of its enumeration than it should have received. Question of Embezzlement "Whether or not this diversion constitutes embezzlement of public funds is a nice question for your office to determine,” Ward said. Ward also intimates South Bend’s figures are to be questioned. Leonard Job. assistant to Burris, will go to Evansville next week to see if an investigation is necessary.

May 24.—Masanae Hanihara, Japanese ambassador to Washington, will resign his post here if President Coolidge signs the immigration bill providing for Japanese exclusion, it was learned authortatively today. Action on the bill by the President Is expected momentarily. Should Hanihara quit the two countries would be without ambassadors in'their respective capitals at a time of somewhat strained relations. Cyrus Woods. American ambassador to Tokio, already has resigned. Hanihara. it Is said, believes that his usefulness here would be over if the immigration bill Is signed. He feels, however, that the situation would be different if the President vetoed the measure.

Our colporteurdn this section of the field is selling a great many Scriptures, or portions thereof. "Two sheiks became so interested that they went to Palestine to study Hebrew, so that they could study the Old Testament in the original. They formed a circle of friends who studied each evening with them. Both sheiks have been compelled to move from their homes, by the Moslem In charge of that particular district.” Gold .Fringe Gold fringe, about a foot in depth, edges a summer wrap of black satin lined with brocaded cloth of gold.
