PETITIONS WRIT TO UNSEAT DEARTH

HOME FIGHT PUTS BOYS BEHIND BARS Three Youths Are Sent to Marion County Jail as Deadlock Continues. NEW LOCATION OPEN Detention Site Occupied Only by Staff. Three youths were held in .Marion County jail today while the deadlock between county officials continued, preventing use of the new detention home site, 225 E. Michigan St. The place was without occupants, other than the administrative staff of the home, on the opening day. Two of the youths were held on burglary charges and the third was a run-away youth. One of the boys admitted theft of autos valued at $30,000. They were held in a cell with older youths held on minor charges on orders of Juvenile Judge Frank J. Lahr. County council members declare the home will remain empty because no additional funds for remodeling will be appropriated. The board of State charities, in its report on the place, set out several “objectional features” and declared the new location “In its present condition cannot be approved.” Remove Features Majority Faction County Commissioner Charles O. Cutton said many of these features will be removed, put that no change in location of the site will be made. ‘Rather than make cringes after the board of State charities disapproved of the site, the commissioners should have had the matter considered by the State board before moving in,” Council President George Montgomery declared. "They should have removed those ‘objectionable features.’ In- the first place they have overrented the place and expect more money for remodeling.” Sutton and Cassius L. Hogle leased the place for $350 a month from James M. Davis, through James F. Edwards, councilman and local real estate man. The former site, from which the home was moved Thursday, was 1102 N. Capitol Ave. Judge Frank J. Lahr Juvenile Court said as long as the State board objected to the home, children will not be sent there. The children will be returned to their homes or their cases continued in court. . “When the place is remodeled and passes inspection -of the charities board I will commit children the court stated. Miss Susanna Pray, in charge of the home, and her assistants were the only persons who spent the night in the Michigan St. building. Heat was turned on during the day, but late Thursday evening there were no lights in the home.

1 MAIL DEPOT FORESEEN HERE \ Forecast New Postal Route in Near Future. Air mail for Indianapolis in the near future was forecast today by Paul V. Moore, secretary of the Indianapolis Airport Corporation, with the announcement from the Postoffice Department at Washington that bids are being advertised inviting proposals for air mail contract* between New York and Chicago, superseding the present Gov-ernment-operated route., “A Chicago-Birmingham route soon will be established,” Moore declared, “on the heels of the Government's change to private interests operating the most important route. “We expect soon to prepare a survey of the city to see what amount of air mail can be assured daily to the bidding carriers.” Twice before the question of establishing the Chicago-Birmingham route was opened for bids, companies at that time being too poorly financed to be awarded the contract, Moore said. The Washington proposition was announced by W. Irving Glover, second assistant postmaster general. Bids will be opened March 24.

MOONSHINE NO CAMPUS BEVERAGE! Unless Quality Improves Students Will Not Drink at All, Says Winkler. Bootleggers are starving in Indiana college towns, according to George L. Winkler, deputy Federal prohibition administrator. "Drinking among the Indiana college students has decreased fourfifths within the past few years,” Winkler said. "The kind of stuff offered to college students is such rotten liquor that they have quit drinking it largely on their own volition," Winkler said. “I attended dances at both Purdue and Indiana Universities recently, and I’m glad to say that I didn't even smell liquor at either dance. Either did Miss Ardery, who also attended.” Miss Ardery is Winkler's secretary. “Efforts in Indiana have been effectively centered from time to time on cleaning up college towns of bootleggers and Jiquor. These drives have been marked with successful results^" Indiana ranks high as a dry State in general, Winkler added, and especially holds a dry record in its colleges.

NOW JUST WHAT WAS THE IDEA? Watson Says Robinson Agreed on Haller for Job. ARTHUR SAYS HE DIDN’T ;Ward Is Asked to Stay as U. S. Attorney. What with long distance telephone calls, dispatches from Washington correspondents to Indianapolis newspapers and a delay in the mails. United States Senators Janies E. Watson and Arthur R. Robinson were considerably at variance today over the matter of a successor for United States District Attorney Albert S. Ward. In fact, whether there would be a successor was somewhat undetermined. The tangle, just as it developed: Wednesday evetifhg—Ward telegraphed Watson at Washington that he was mailing his resignation. Watson telephoned Robinson at Indianapolis. They talked about the resignation. Says They Agreed Thursday morning—Roscoe B. Fleming, Washington correspondent for The Times, went to AVatson s office and asked the Soijator who was going to succeed Ward. Watson told Fleming that ho had talked with Robinson by long-distance telephone Wednesday evening and they had agreed to nominate to President Coolidge, Charles R. Haller, Huntington, Ind., attorney end strong supporter of Watson. Thursday evening—Senator Robinson telephoned Watson at Washington and apparently .asked: “How come?” At any rate. Robinson announced here that the announcement of Haller's selection was premature. . This morning—Senator Watson, in Washington, repeated the assertion that he had had a talk with Robinson Wednesday evening, and Haller was agreed upon. Considerable surprise was expressed in Watson’s office that Robinson was not confirming this in Indianapolis. Others Considered Meanwhile Robinson, at his office here, declared again that Ward hsd been asked by both Watson and Robinson to reconsider his resignation and stay on the job and that Haller had not been selected. “Haller has been considered along with several other names,” said Robinson. ”1 have a letter on my desk containing the name of another man under consideration. “,TPh> announcement was premature because no applicant can be appointed by either Senator Watson or myself. The most we can do is to submit a name to the President, who must send the nomination on to the Senate for confirmation. This could not be given before the Senate meets next December." The Department of Justice office at Washington said Ward's ■tlon had not yet reached there. Ward said he made it effective May 1. Ward said he would give, the request that he retain his post “due consideration.” STOLEN GER MSR) UN D Deadly Typhoid and Anthrax Bacilli Recovered in London.

City Manager Extolls Business-Like Form of City Government.

“There is no such thing as a Democratic sewer pipe or a Republican light plant.” This is the answer of Paul R. Taylor, city manager of Grand Haven, Mich., to the charge that the city manager form of government is unAmerican because It is nonpclitlcal. “The American taxpayer is not ihat | much interested In polities, anyway," | said Taylor who is In Indianapolis | inspecting the Indianapolis Water I Company filtration plant here. “He wants his city government run ef- ] flciently and economically and the j city manager form of government does that,” he says. | "The city manager form preserves 1 for State and National problems the I highest ideals of polities by remov--5 ing politics front the comparatively ! petty field of municipalities.” Native^Hoosier Taylor, native son of Indiana and graduate of Purdue University, has served seven years as manager of Grand Haven. He is well-known in Indianapolis having been employed here for several years. “Grand Haven adopted the manager form of government twelve j years ago and was the third city in ! Michigan to adopt it. Today there are more than twenty-five Michigan cities operating under the system. I In almost all cases'tho change was brought about by taxpayers disj gusted with Inefficient party | methods,” Taylor said. Combination of the police and fire , departments under a single head I with an assistant in each branch to x j serve as fire and police chief respectively; all done by the city Itself without letting a contract and combination of the sewer, water dis* . tribution and street department I under a single head are some of the j j economies affected by the city man- j ' ager plan under Taylor.

Guest of Angus The latter combination does away with the common nuisance in most cities of tearing up' pavements to lay sewer and water pipes. This Is seldom necessary, Taylor said, when cooperation exists among the three departments affected. Under Michigan law, no mayor remains In office more than a year following the selection 1 of a city manager by popular vote. This is contrary to provisions of the “mayor's protection” bill passed by the recent Indiana Legislature and now awaiting Governor Jackson's signature, which permits a mayor to retain hold of the city reins until the v end of his term. The bill was designed to protect Mayors Duvall, Indianapolis, ants Males, Evansville, both of whom are facing strong popular sentiment for the city manager form. While in Indianapolis, Taylor Is the guest of D. J. Angus, of Ester-line-Angus Company, and is Inspecting the local water plant in expectation of installing a similar system at Grand Haven.

OUSTER DEVELOPMENTS

Muncie citizens who are bondsmen in an election contest case in Circuit Judge Clarence W. Dearth’s court petition Supreme Court for a writ of prohibition preventing Dearth from presiding over court while impeachment proceedings pend in State Senate. Muncie Bar Association decides to take no step toward ousting Dearth while Supreme Court case is pending. Representative Lawrence E. Carlson arrives in Muncie to begin gathering evidence for the impeachment trial. Dearth attempts to strike back at Thomas V. Miller, attorney for George Dale, editor enemy of Dearth, by seeking disbarment of Miller on charges of talking to a client about a bribe. An Indianapolis attorney blasts Dearth’s charge against Miller by explaining transaction Dearth ted based his action against Miller on. The Indiana Supreme Court today had under consideration'll. petition for a writ of prohibition to oust Circuit Judge ( laienoc A\. Dearth of Muncie from the bench pending liis impeachment trial before the Senate Mareh 21. The petition was presented by Thomas V. Miller, attorney for George Dale, Muncie editor, and Francis A. Shaw, special deputy prosecutor, and Attorney John T. Waterhouse in behalf of eight participants in the. election contest case of John C. Humphries, defeated Democratic candidate for sheriff. The petition charges that a fair and,impartial trial of the case before Judge Dearth is impossible and that Dearth now is usurping his place on the bench as he was automatically removed upon his impeachment by the House of Representatives.

Miller presented a brief supporting his petition and argued for granting of thfTwrlt before Judges Willard E. Gemmili, Julius C. Travis, David A. Myers and Clarence R. Marita for more than an hour this morning behind closed doors In the court consultation room. Judge Benjamin A. Willoughby was absent from the morning session. The judges announced they would invite Fred Van Nuys, Indianapolis attorney for Dearth, to appear this afternoon and present arguments why the petition slrould not be received. Miller also was to be present at the afternoon hearing. If the petition is received, at least a temporary writ vacating the bench must be issued. ThA judges announced, however, they might hold acceptance or rejection of the writ petition l in abeyance and hear arguments in open court probably not later than Monday. Charges that Judge Dearth names his personal friends to serve as special Judges in his court and that this might prevent an Impartial trial, also were made In the writ petition. In Behalf of Bondsmen The petition was in behalf of Humphries and seven Muncle property owners. who were sureties on his bond In connection with his suit to contest the election of Sheriff Harry McAuly. They have been sued, the petition states, in their capacity as bondsmen the civil suits are to come to trial March 15. The others, besides Humphries, listed are: Lewis H. Acker, Dr. Rollin T. Bunch. Harry D. Stout, Alfred Davis, Vincent W. Jones, Mnrion C. Fullhart and Joseph Mann, all Democrats. The petition cited In detail the impeachment charges of the House of Representatives that Dearth violated the Constitution by attempting to suppress an edition of Dale's paper and- threatening thirty-eight newsboys, and by unlawfully controlling the selection of Juries. It also cited the law of 1897, under which the Impeachment action was taken and which declares that an impeached judge should vacate the bench until tried by the Senate. Governor Jackson has refused to remove Dearth from the bench and appoint a successor on the advice of Attorney General Arthur L. Gilllom that the law under which Dearth was impeached is unconstitutional.
