GRAND JURY FOREMAN J. D. COLLETT RESIGNS

SCHOOL BOARD FIS 10 OUST SUPERINTENDENT Discharge of Graff Mot Taken Up at MeetingMinority Prepared. Taking advantage of the delay of the majority faction of the school board in not carrying out th|ir ru mored intent to oust E. U. Graff, school superintendent, at the board session Tuesday night, minority sac tion supporters who contemplate im peachment proceedings against the majority members today “prepared to meet any situation that may arise.” This statement came from Fred Bates Johnson, who with Charles It. Yoke constitutes the minority jjroup. Action Awaited “Whether impeachment proceedings will be pressed in spite of the evident withdrawal of the majority’s threat to oust Graff, or whether the action of a number of prominent citizens will be cast aside, remains to be seen,” Johnson said. It was indicated, however, that the move will be furthered regardless of developments in Graff’s case. Emsley W. Johnson and Michael W. Ryan, attorneys, have been retained by a group of citizens to present any action which may culminate from their investigations. Investigation is to be made of heating and ventilating contracts since Jan. 1, 1926, when the majority faction took office. Theodore F. Vonnegut, board president; Mrs. Lillian Sedwick, vice president, and Charles W. Kern are majority members, said to be dominated by C. C. Shipp, local heating and ventilating device manufacturer. Shipp is known to have been active in unofficial school board activities a number of times. Subject Evaded The majority faction carefully refrained from bringing the subject of Graff's removal before the meeting, contrary to Vonnegut’s statement Monday “that the matter would be brought up.” About 100 persons crowded the meeting room, expectantly awaiting the promised action. They left without comment after a short and quiet meeting. A proposed six-foot board fence 2,062 feet long, to inclose the new Shortridge High School site, ThirtyFourth and Meridian Sts., proved to be the only item of dissention .mong bpard members at the meeting, Ure M. Frazer, board business manager, secured bids from eight lumber firms for material, the work to be done by board employes. Objection to the move was raised by Johnson, who declared the bids should be advertised in the regular manner, as the approximate cost of SI,BOO would exceed the SSOO limit the board for expenditure without advertising. Bids were ordered advertised. < DOCTOR’S WIFE SLAIN Mother of Two Brutally Murdered— Husband Questioned.

AMENDED BILL ON UTILITY CONTROL passedinsenate Moorhead Measure Debate Seen as Comedy—Medical Act Up. Citizens on hand in the Indiana Senate Tuesday afternoon to listen to debate on House Bill 39, the medical injunction act, were t*eated to a "comedy of errors”! in'the passage to third reading of the Moorhead bill, one of the series of utility regulation measures. The afternoon was devoted to the utility project, and House Bill 39 did not reach the Senate floor. Consideration of the medical bill was scheduled for today. The Moorhead measure had been announced as special business for 2 p. m. The amendments submitted by the author, Senator Robert L. Moo/head (Rep.), Indianapolis, were discussed. These were to substitute for the original bill all but the enacting clause. Controls Rate Fixing The original bill called for an elective public service* commission and discharge of the present commission-, ers by May 1. The amendments attempt to bring holding companies within the jurisdiction of the commission, place rate making value on “honest and prudent investment” and extend commission powers in examining utjlity expenditures. They would provide that in granting new franchises an agreement must be made that appeals from commission decisions should be fought out in the State rather than Federal court. The author, Senator Sumner Clancy (Rep.), Indianapolis, and Senator Denver C. Harlan (Rep.), Richmond, talked for the amendments. Amendments submitted by Senators Edward O’Rourke Jr. (Rep.), Ft. Wayne; Carl M. Gary (Dent.), Petersburg, and J. Francis Milan (Deni ), Milan, were withdrawn. . Exempt Municipal Plants ‘ Senator Curtis Shake (Deni.) Vincennes, submitted an amendment to the Moorhead amendments which would take municipally owned utilities out of the commission jurisdiction. Both the Moorhead and Shake amendments carried. Then it was discovered by Senator James J. Nejdl (Rep.), Whiting, that the whole procedure had been wrong, since Moorhead had failed to move that the amendments be substituted,for the original bill. Parliamentary “horse play” occupied the boards for almost an hour and thVew the Senate into confusion. At last it was decided to have Moorhead present his motion and the entire amendment program was re-adopted. The bill then went to engrossment. Before the procedure argument Senator Joseph M. Cravens (Dem.), Madison, introduced a note of comedy by proposing that the entire measure be replaced by an amendment abolishing- the commission and repealing the Spenser-Shively act. This was the text of the defeated Cann bill and it, too, event down in defeat. NEW YORK—Breaking into what appeared to be a deserted house police found three drunken bulldogs lapping up the leakage from a large whisky still.

He told the sheriff and spectators that Pittenger had drawn a gun 1 on him Pittenger, according to the sheriff, denied drawing the gun and slapped the boy.

1,300 AMERICAN MARIS NEARING CITY OF SHANGHAI Force Aboard Transport Chaumont —Quiet Follows Firing. Bit Vnitcd Press SHANGHAI. Feb. 23.—Thirteen hundred United States marines, aboard the transport Chaumont, today were reported within about eighteen hours' steaming distance of Shanghai. Strict guard will he maintained tonight in the international settlement and in the French concession. The general strike situation was easing today and skeleton mail delivery was maintained this afternoon. Police said 25,000 of the 100,000 or so strikers had returned to work. Strikers had participated in few demonstrations today at the mills or elsewhere and there had been no riots. It was expected the marines would remain aboard the Chaumont unless the situation changed. The city was calmer today as the most powerful of the northern Chinese war lords prepared to consider joint action against the Cantonese armies. Marshal Sun Chuan-Fang, defender of Shanghai; Gen. Chang TsunChang. governor of Shantung, and Gen. Soo Ting-CNueng, representing Marshal Chang Tso-Lin, were scheduled to confer on means of stopping the victorious southern troops. The shelling of the city yesterday by mutinous Chinese on ships in the Yangtze River resulted from the treachery of two officers on the ships, it was learned today. American residents at first feared the bombardment would force cancellation of a Washington’s birthday ball, but the fete was held. Six thousand “white” Russians, vanguard of Chang Chung-Chang's army, defeated forces of Wu Pei-Fu in Honan province in a Tiattle in which the Chang forces alone suffered 3,000 casualties, reports reaching Shanghai today said. The Russians, believed to be refugees who fled to China to escape tiie Bolshevists in their own country, are fighting with Chang’s army in its attempt to force its way through the territory of the inactive Wu so it can attack the Cantonese forces in the south. Wu's forces fled to the mountains after the battle, reports said.

MIM JUDGE FACES PEOPLE fe * ■ “• ),S^. ’* (Continued From Page 1) • &iink that Judge Dearth and the mayor have done their part in making this town the clean city which it should be. That is why I wrote the letter for last week's Post-Demo-crat and why I will have another letter in this week's issue. "I am not going to lay down and let George Dale suffer for what I have done. If I am called to the witness stand I'll tell plenty and have people to back me up.” Indications that the movement to impeach Judge Dearth was contained in a statement by Dr. F. L. Botkin, president of the Municipal League of Muncie. This league, composed of business and professional men interested in lower taxation and the restoration of Mun- 1 cie's fair name, was organized last summer. Dr. Botkin said: “It is high time that the Muncie situation he investigated by an unbiased body like the Legislature. Our organization lias never criticised public officials except when they have violated the law.” Dr. Botkin for five years lias been a leader in the stopping of movements which would have increased the bonded indebtedness about $2,000.000. Franklin E. Fantz, bead of the Domestic Coal and Builders Supply I Company, secretary-treasurer of the Municipal League, said: “The time has come when Muncies fair name must again be cleansed in the eyes of Indiana.

An explanation of a mysterious hold-up at the Martin-Parry Body Corporation, Henry St. and Holly Ave., at 2:40 a. m. today was sought by police. William McKinley, 649 Arbor Ave., night watchman, told police he was sitting In the main office when a masker* man appeared with a drawn revolver, and a typewriter under his arm. The man said, “Now I’ve brought back your typewriter and I want you to let me out the front gate.” Affcr letting the bandit out the front gate, McKinley returned to the office knd found a desk pried open and two revolvers missing.
