3 BILLS PROVIDE DROOP CONTROL : OF INSTITUTIONS ft One Measure Takes Naming of Educational Board From Governor. Four hills which will, do much ; toward centralizing autlwrity and curtailing the power of thej Governor | to build up a political machine of job holders are to be backed in the present session of the Indiana Legislature by Senator Alonzo H. Llndley, Kingman. Three of the bills will place all of the State institutions under single boards, eliminating a board of trustees for each institution as under the present plan. Group Plan I'p The fourth bill has already been introduced in the Senate and provides reduction of the State of education front thirteen to five members. These are to be chosen by district educational conventions’, rather than by the Governor. Thirteen benevolent institutions will be grouped under one board of five members in one of the bills to follow. This will include the insane and other hospitals. Penal institutions, the State Farm. Pendleton Reformatory and Michigan City prison will all be grouped under administration of another board of five. At present each has its own board of trustees. The third bill will provide for the uniting of Purdue, University of Indiana and all. of the State normal Schools under a single governing board. To this .list Lindley also | would add the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ ! Orphans’ Home, for he feels that the administration there is more one j of education than benevolence. Dynamo Scrapped Citing an example of the inefficiency of operation under seperate boards he tells of a $50,000 dynamo that had to be junked when removed from one institution, because it could not be transferred to another. He also emphasizes the danger of a governor using the various boards to build up a political machine. “At every session of the Legislature each board of trustees is there to sandbag for their own institutions with no clear perspective of the general Institutional needs,” Senator Lindley declared. "This would eliminate that thing and the money would go where it is most needed.”

MISSING CHILD WAS STAGE FAN Carolyne Smock, 14, Object of Wide Search —Often Called to Phone. Carolyne is just 14. Three nays afi ter Christmas, when most girls of ! her age are playing with the toys a benevolent Santa Claus has brought, Carolyne heard the call of the stage and answered, her mother believes. Ever since police of Indianapolis, detectives and other agencies have followed every clew, but Carolyne is still following the wili-o-the-wisp of the stage. Perhaps because she is so small, or young, or lonely, t she has not yet been found. Carolyne is the daughter of Mr. and Mm. B. W. Smock, 615 W. Thir-ty-Ninth St., where she lived with her parents, one brother and six sisters, until she believed she could become a star of the bright lights. Another Name She may be giving the name of "Virginia Reed,” her mother believes. Because in Carolyne’s schoolbooks this name appeared often, under her own, and was evidently a favorite. Various other names also were found, names of people connected with local filn. agencies and vaudeville theaters. Police questioned them, but none could shed a ray of light upon Carolyne’s whereabouts. Most of them ! did not even remember her. She had I evidently approached them upon one j occasion or another about obtaining i a position, and. in weaving dreams in school, wrote and rewrote their names in her books. Last fall Carolyne was employed in the home of a young couple with a baby. She tbok care of the baby after school and came home about ; six in the evening. The woman asked Carolyne’s mother if her daughter would care for the child a few evenings a week, whenever necessary. The request was granted. Calls Frequent Soon phone calls became numerous. Always it was the woman who wished her to come over and cure for the baby. Almost every night the phone request would come. After Carolyne’s disappearance her mother remembered the phone calls and became suspicious. Upon inquiry she learned that Carolyne had not been employed nearly so often as the phone calls indicated. Someone, other than her employer, had been phoning and Carolyne's mother believes that if she could learn who it was she could locate Carolyne. In spite of her love for the-stage and screen. Carolyne had few pictures taken. None of tliese aid in the search for her. PRISON GUARD KILLED Another Seriously Hurt in Auto Crash.

No Casualties Reported in Attack on Two Commercial Ships. U. S. PLAN CONSIDERED Neutralization Proposal Before Leaders. Bu United Press WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.—American refugees from the interior of China have been fired upon by the Chinese, but without casualties, American Consul Lockhart reported to the State Department from Hankow today. The incident occurred Saturday at Patung, where Chinese fired upon two American commercial vessels, the Iping and Chilsi, carrying refugees down the river. “American vessels may be forced to abandon this regular commercial service, since transportation on the Ichang Chung-King route (Yangtze River) is very difficult at present,” Lockhart said. "From Hankow down the river, transportation ;s also increasingly difficult and very inadequate ” With safety of 3,000 Americans at stake, the. Administration today grimly awaited answers from the Chinese war lords to its proposal to neutralize the Shanghai international settlement. First indications that Chang TsoLin, northern chief, will accept, but that the nationalist leader, Chlang Kai-Shek, may refuse, increased apprehension in official quarters here. Unless Chiang and Chang and the Shanghai defender. Marshal Sun Chuan-Fang, agree to eliminate the international settlement from the zone of military operations. President Coolidge is determined to use the United States Asiatic fleet and Marine force to protect Americans. WAR LORD APPROVES One of Northern Leaders Favors Plan L'. S. Offers. Bu United Press PEKIN, Feb. 7.—The United States suggestion that the international settlement that Shanghai be neutralized to prevent fighting or mob violence in, the city today had the approval of 'Marshal Chang TsoLin, Manchurian war, lord and most powerful of the northern Chinese militarists. It was understood that Shang, although fully in favor of the American suggestion, would not make a written reply to United States Minister Mac Murray for transmission to Secretary of State Frank B. Kellogg. Chang, it was understood, would prefer that the United States accept ills tacit acquiescence in a neutralization scheme because a formal acceptance of it might arouse Chinese to allege that Chang was willing to surrender Chinese sovereignty at Shanghai. The Cantonese nationalists, to whom the proposal also was submitted, are expected by Pekin observers to regard neutralization us an unwarrantable interference in Chinese domestic affairs designed to secure the northern allies’ position at Shanghai by preventing the Nationalists from capturing the city and to maintain the present flow of revenue from that port to Chang. INTEREST IN BRITAIN American Nose on China Discussed by Cabinet. Bu United Press LONDON. Feb. 7.—Permier Baldwin and the cabinet today discussed Secretary of State Frank B.
