60MB BLAST WRECKSSACCO JUROR’S HOME Five Persons Sleeping in Upper Floor Rooms Escape Injury. FRONT IS DEMOLISHED Explosion Set Off Under From Porch of House; Garage Wrecked. ' By United Press EAST MILTON, Mass., Aug. 16. A bomb exploded at one side of the home of Lewis McHardy, one of the jurors at the Sacco-Vanzettl trial, at about 3:30 a. m. today. No one was injured. In the house at the time were Mr. and Mrs. McHardy and their three children, Helen, John and Theodore. Mr. and Mrs. McHardy and two sons, John, 29, and Theodore, 24, and a daughter, Helen, 32, were assisted from the wrecked building by neighbors. The blast caused houses to tremble for more than a-mile around. According to Police Chief James R. Travers of Milton the time bomb had been concealed beneath the front porch. Following the explosion part of the mechanism of the infernal machine was found on the front lawn. The parents and their daughter were sleeping in second-floor bedrooms when the bomb exploded, while the two sons were asleep on the top floor of the two-and-a-half-story residence. Chief Travers believed any one sleeping on the ground floor would have met almost certain death. The blast demolished the front of the buildings, the sides of which partially collapsed, throwing debris into many of the rooms. A garage in the rear of |he house was virtually wrecked. Today's bombing was the second attributed to Sacco-Vanzetti sympathizers in Massachusetts. On June 1, 1926, a bomb wrecked the West Bridgewater home of Samuel Johnson, brother-in-law of Mrs. Simon Johnson, who collected the reward in 1920 for the apprehension of Sacco and Vanzetti. The Johnson home was demolished and six persons slightly hurt.

Miller, State superintendent of public instruction, today formally was sworn in as Indianapolis school superintendent without resigning his State post. He indicated he might keep both posts if Governor Jackson does not name a successor to the State superintendency “satisfactory” to him. “I will not resign as State superintendent until the Governor returns from his vacation,” he said. Jackson Is “Arranger” Two months ago, he said, when he tentatively was offered the Indianapolis post, Jackson indicated appointment of a successor agreeable to him could be “satisfactorily arranged.” “Now I’m waiting to see what can be arranged.” He has been advised by lawyers, he said, that he can hold both posts as long as he does not receive pay for both. The State superintendency pays $5,000 a year and the city superintendency,^s9,ooo a year. Miller was offered the city superintendency three Veeks ago, but had not indicated whether or not he would accept. Backing Gladden He has sought appointment of Fred M. Gladden, his assistant, as his successor to the State post and has held several conferences with Jackson, who has not indicated, it is believed, who would be named. Board resident Theodore F.

Assurance that Miller would “be the superintendent” and would have a free hand was given at the meeting by Kern. “It is our intentio that you will be the superintendent. And to correct impressions that have arisen in minds of some people, the board will not ask you to discriminate against, or remove anyone, because of religious or political affiliations from their positions or connections with the school system of Indianapolis.” “I expect to be superintendent of Indianapolis schools and favoritism or anything of that sort will not be taken into consideration, because I feel that the public schools are for the benefit of children and not individuals,” Miller said. The board approved appointment of Joseph F. Thornton, who has served as acting superintendent, as assistant superintendent; Thomas Campbell, as acting physical training head at Technical High School; A. C. Coxy-science, Crispus Attucks High School; Iva R. Marshall, history, Crispus Attucks High School, and Miss Louisa G. Karle, physical education department.

DUVALL’S FATE IN COMMITTEE SOON, NEGLEY Council President Says Special Body Will Consider Charges. IMPEACHMENT ASKED Resolution Against IVlayor and Buser May Die, However. (A Complete Summary of DuvallBuser Charges on Page 3) The special council committee with which the fate of the resolution impeachment Mayor Duvall and City Controller William C. Buser rests will meet “in a few” days, Council President Claude E. Negley declared today. Negley referred the resolution to a committee of which he is the head at Monday night’s stormy council session.

The resolution, introduced by Councilman Otis E. Bartholomew and charging Duvall and Buser with conspiracy to enrich themselves at the city’s expense, was referred by Negley to a committee consisting of himself, Austin H. Todd, Millard W. Ferguson, O. Ray Albertson and Robert E. Springsteen. Its fate is uncertain, as it will v die in committee unless reported back to council. Even Bartholomew, the move's sponsor, was uncertain as to what would to the impeachment resolution. “It is hard to tell what the next move will be,” he said. “They may ret out from under mg like they dil last night.” Council can force the committee to i sport on the resolution with a majority vote, he said, but declared he did not know if the five votes recessary could be obtained. Springsteen, a Democrat, was the only committee member who declared himself for pushing action on the resolution. “I for one will not permit the impeachment proceedings to die in ccmmitt.ee if I can help it, but will insist that some action be taken on it. "I cannot predict what my vote will be on the impeachment, however, for the reason that I have not read the charges.

Three Possibilities “Three possibilities face the committee, to return a report to the council urging trial of the mayot, to report urging no trial, or to permit the proceedings to die in committee. As far as I am concerned, the action, after a thorough study of charges, will be a report either favorable or unfavorable to a trial.” It was Austin Todd’s strategy on Monday night which brought about referring of the resolution to the special committee instead of to 1 council as a committee as a whole. Ferguson’s votes and actions indicated he is wavering on the removal action. Albertson voted throughout In support of the administration faction. His father recently was named Casino Garden watchman by Duvall’s park board. Gets Resolution Back Following the naming of the committee to consider the impeachment, Bartholomew succeeded by a 5-4 vote in getting the resolution brought back to be acted upon by the council as a committee of the whole. Bartholomew appealed to the council to get his demand to a vote after Albertson, pro-administration member, had called him out of order. “I am not out of order. I appeal to the council and I demand a vote!” Bartholomew shouted. After a short recess, enough council members who had succeeded in getting the resolution recalled from committee changed heart and the impeachment resolution was voted into-the same committee originally appointed. . Move to Reconsider After the recess, Todd moved to reconsider the resolution so it could be placed into the special committee’s hands. Albertson seconded the motipn, but his action was challenged by Councilman Edward B. Raub, on grounds that Albertson had voted “no” on the previous question. Councilman Walter R. Dorsett took responsibility for the second and Todd’s motion was passed. Upon reconsideration, the resolutions were placed In committee when Todd and Dorsett joined administration forces. The thirty-six-page resolution de - manding impeachment and setting out charges of malfeasance against Duvall and Buser was joined with a special resolution asking $12,500 to defray impeachment expenses. Os this SIO,OOO was to be paid to Alvah S. Rucker, former city corporation council, and L. Ert Slack, as attdYneys for the prosecution. Several hundred persons were on hand to witness the stormy session, which began almost two hours late. A caucus held in the council anteroor. before the regular session delayed the opening. A hitch developed in the caucus, which, It was
