SCHLENSKERTO MAKE APPEAL FROM VERDICT < Court of Claims Refuses Refund on Overcharges Against Road Body. Attorneys for Otto F. Schlensker, automobile parts dealer, today announced that an appeal probably will be taken from decision of the Marlon County Court of Claims refusing Schlensker a $50,000 refund on overcharges against the State highway commission which he had sought to make good. Within the next thirty days a motion for anew trial will be filed with the court in order that the appeal may be carried to the State Supreme Court, Homer Elliott, one of Schlensker’s attorneys, said. Decision was reached late Saturday by five judges of the Marion Superior Court, sitting as a court of claims. Only one of the judges is said to have favored giving Schlensker any refund. In a report by the State board of accounts, covering highway commission transactions ’between May 13, 1921, and April 30, 1924, filed more than a year ago, Schlensker was alleged to have overcharged the State large sums on automobile parts and accessories. Learning that the board vas going to cite irregularities in his dealings, Schlensker gave a $50,000 check to Lawrence F. Orr, State examiner. Orr turned the check over to the State treasurer, and it was used with other State funds. Alleged “Good Faith” Deposit. Schlensker then declared the check was only a "good faith” deposit and was not intended as a redemption on any alleged overcharges. Suit was filed with the court of claims to recover the entire amount. The decision is particularly significant when viewed in connection with other highway commission deals exposed by the board of accounts. Another accounts board report charges that the highway commission allowed surplus war material, valued by some at from $8,000,000 to $lO,000,000, to escape into the hands of a group of local junk dealers for barely more than the freight charges. This report, now impounded by Criminal Court, never has been made public. On the strength of the latter report the Marion County grand jury, thirteen months ago, returned embezzlement indictments against Earl Crawford, Democratic member of the commission whose term expires Saturday; John D. Williams, commission director, a Republican; George Bartley, former superintendent of equipment; Moses and Victor Goldberg, junk dealers, and C. William Whaley. Not Called for Trial Prosecutor William H. Remy has shown no /inclination to call the cases down for trial. In the meantime the highway commimssion political'machine is laying the groundwork to have the indictments quashed and to discount the board of accounts allegations, it is said. In the Schlensker report the accounts board declared that “State finances have suffered for want of careful supervision by the commission and its director in the expenditure of public moneys.’’ Incompetence of the commission’s equipment division and indifference of the highway director are blamed for the losses to the State by the accounts board. Purchase by the commission of nineteen junked Nash Quad trucks for $2,850 when the commission had ten usable Nhsh Quads in storage is made the basis of a charge by the accounts board that the “State’s interests were made secondary to other interests.” The accounts board’s summary shows Schlensker’s sales to the com-, mission aggregated $425,346.17, although he was able to show Invoices on only $177,956.31.

Hayward, € recutlve set retary, announce the formal opening of the Baptist Christian Center at 162-164 N. Blackford St. This work, undertaken In 1910, met with reverses at the time of the World War. when many of the foreign born left the country to return to their native land for its protection.

Walker is the director of the center and will have an office in the buildings so that she may give the work her constant attention. The buildings are three in number, two of which have been remodeled and readjusted to meet conditions. The first building, the Leon Joyce House, is for social purposes. The second building, recently completed, is the Taylor Chapel. Tin? third house to be undertaken, If possible this year, will be for the educational program. The entire plan makes possible at some future date an administration building with fireplaces, lobby a.nd offices, gymnasium and chapel. Rooms for the center program will complete the plant. The entire plant when completed will cost about $35,000. The present arrangement will carry on until the money for the enlarged prorgam can be obtained.
