SCHOOL BOARD MEMBER FOR GOOD HODSING Johnson Talks to Engineers —Two Resolutions Adopted. “There are elements In Indianapolis who would oppose a five or ten cent raise in the tax levy even if it would assure every man, worn an and child in the city the privilege of sitting at the right hand of God in Heaven,” declared Fred Bates Johnson, school board member, at a luncheon Thursday of the American Association of Engineers. Johnson reviewed the efforts of the school board last year to get an lncrea •? in its tax levy in order to provide adequate housing for Indian apolis school children and denounced the State tax board for receiving ‘‘ex parte” Information after the public hearing was over. Cards on Table “We are taking the public into our confidence and laying the cards on the table,” he said, The Association of Engineers unanimously passed a resolution favoring better and more adequate school buildings first, and secondly, proposing the board offer to erect a building for the Typothetae school of Friin-lng, and favoring increased taxation for the purposes. Many Portables "There are approximately 7,500 school children in Indianapolis who are housed in portables, frame residencies and barns, without sanitary equipment or fresh air,” Johnson said. “Twelve hundred more school children every year increase the crowded conditions.” The board is letting contracts for three n‘ w grade school buildings this year, Johnson said, but these will take care only of the normal increase of 1,200 children.

PARDON STIRS HARTFORD CITY (Continued From Page 1) death struggle—as emotionless as a stone hearted creature could be — showin grlo remorse or grief. She took a life cruelly—pretended to administer aid yet all the while feeding her death dealing poison. Later when trapped, she admitted committing the crime. This pardon in rny opinion is simply a miscarriage of justice. Work for Naught ‘‘l thought I was protecting the interest of the State when I prosecuted this woman. After securing her conviction my work I find has been for naught for she has now beert restored the same privileges in organized society as a man or wornman who does not have the life blood of another upon her hands. “This was also done in the greatest secrecy. “While this letter may not have any effect, for I understand Governor has given but the information that be will not reconsider the pardon, I feel it my duty to inform the Governor of the general opinion of the people of Hartford City, Blackford County, whom I represented when the woman was convicted.” The Letter A copy of the letter sent to the Governor follows: “We have noted by ftie papers that you have pardoned Rae Krauss who was serving a life sentence for the murder by poisoning of her stepdaughter, Crystal Krauss. We also noted that she was pardoned because she was a model prisoner and because she had an aged father who needed her assistance.” “Now I beg to inform you that I was serving as prosecuting attorney of the twenty-eighth judicial circuit at the time this wpman entered her plea of guilty to this very cruel murder and it was the opinion of the law abiding people of this community at that time that enough leniency was shown her when she received a life sentence instead of the death penalty. And now these same people are convinced too much leniency was shown her then, in view of the fact our Governor pardoned her without giving us a chance to protest against such an act. “We feel that you should have considered the feelings and the welfare of the people of this community as well as the model prison life of Rae Krauss and the welfare of her aged father. c “Sagacious, Cunning” “We also beg to inform you that we knew this woman to be a very AMUSEMENTS
