LIBRARY BOARD BOND POWERS . TO BE TESTED Suit at Hammond Seeks to Enjoin Delivery of SIIO,OOO Issue. Bu Times Snr rial HAMMOND, Ind., Aug 18—An act of the 1927 Indiana Legislature, interpreted as giving city library boards power to issue bonds without advice or consent of city councils, will be tested in a suit filed here. The Hammond library board is defendant and Richard G. Brusch, secretary of the local Chamber of Commerce, plaintifT. Brusch’s suit seeks to enjoin the board from delivering SIIO,OOO in bonds to the Union Trust Company of Indianapolis, successful bidder for the issue which was authorized by the board without authority or consent of the Hammond city council. Counsel for the t-ust company, since the legal issue has been brought to the fore, is said to have expressed doubt that the bonds will be valid. Opponents of authorizing the board to issue bonds solely on its own authority, declare it would be possible to run indebtednes up to the 2 per cent limit without regard to a city’s other expenditures, resulting in a tangled financial state. Mayor A. E. Tlnkham of Hamniond opposes the board’s bonds declaring if issued, the city will be hear its limit of bonded debts, and therefore hampered in obtaining money for other needs. Wabash Woman, 94, Buried Bn Tlmrg Special WABASH Ind., Aug. 18.—Mrs. 94 - oldest resident of Wabash County, was burled on Wednesday afternoon. She died suddenly Sunday morning.

VARE MACHINE IS THREATENED IN HOME CITY Philadelphia ‘lndependent Candidate for Mayor Staging Hot Fight. By Timm Special PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 18.— Fighting with its back to the wall in the United States Senate to save the seat of Sei ator William S. Vare, its boss, th; Vare organization is also on the defensive at home. J. Hampton Moore, former mayor and former congressman, is leading the home fight against Vare. Moore is an “independent” candidate for mayor, biggest local plum in the gift of the organization. He is opposing Harry A. Mackey, Vare’s senatorial campaign manager and, next to Vare, the most important figure in the machine. Clean-Up Campaign Moore says he was "drafted”- to run but now that he is in he is going to clean-up Philadelphia politics if he can. “This fight,” he says, "unless I greatly misunderstand the temper of the voters, is a people’s fight. The issue is clear; shall we have a free and untrammeled government, capable of service to all the people, or shall gang rule continue?” “The stage is set for the nearest approach to an honest count Philadelphia has known in years. The crooks know that ballot boxes may be opened and that the voters can not be unduly ‘assisted’ at this election.” The Vare organization is seeking to minimize Moore’s candidacy, alleging he will not get more than 50,000 votes. Moore, however, declares the independent vote will be larger than ever in the city’s history. He thinks the Vare organization will be

cramped by the new election reform law, which limits the amount of "assistance” ward leaders can give to illiterate and indifferent voters. City Is Aroused Moore’s attacks have aroused the city, although the primary still is a month off. He lias enlisted the support of the Bulletin, most widely read newspaper in Philadelphia. It is appealing to voters to support Moore “against the dictator in control of government, against the use of public office as a private snap.” If Vare is defeated locally and is ousted by the Senate, as indications are he will be, the Mellon crowd in Pittsburgh will be the undisputed political masters of Pennsylvania. SUGGEST TREE REMOVAL Novel Idea for Controlling Mississippi Advanced WASHINGTON, Aug. 18.—A novel suggestion for preventing floods along the Mississippi has been received by the United States Forestry service. It is that all trees within and between the levees be removed —so that the water will have more room. While trees may cover a large area, they occupy a comparatively small cubical space and their removal would have a negligible effect upon floods, the forestry service replied. | TWO MONARCHS CONFER Bn United Press LONDON, Aug. 18.—King Alexander of Jugo-Slavia and King Boris of Bulgaria recently met in Munich, said a dispatch to the Daily Express from Belgrade today.
