FIGHT LOOMS IN SCHOOL BOARD’S TENURE RULING Legality of Abolishing Assistants’ Offices Is Questioned. A lest suit may be filed to determine legality of dismissal of three Indianapolis assistant school i’tnerintendents, it was learned toitions of the three, Miss Flora Drake, D. T. Weir and Joseph F. Thornton, were abolished by the board last fall. Letters signed by Frank L. Reissncr, board secretary, and said to have been dictated by President Theodore F. Vonnegut, were the first formal notice thenservices would be terminated at the close of the school year in June. Miller is understood to favor making an opening for Gladden, but the proposition is said to meet with little favor on the part of board members, who consider his appointment at this time unwise. Denial that Fred T. Gladden, former assistant State superintendent of public instruction, is to be named to a position in the city schools similar to that occupied by one of the three assistant superintendents, has been made both by Superintendent Charles F. Miller and Commissioner Charles W. Kern. Weir said today that while unwilling to fight for his rights under the teacher tenure law for himself, he would be willing to co-operate with the Indiana State Teachers’ Rheumatism Fains Ended By Konjoia Says Man Age 82 New Medicine Completely Relieved Every Ache and Pain, He Declares. The extent to which this new Konjoia medicine is helping the people of Indianapolis and nearby towns has become the talk of the drug and medical trade of this section. Throngs are calling daily to

MR. E. F. CORBITT see the Konjola Man at Hook's chug store, Illinois and Washington Sts., 5 this city, and hear his personal ex- ; planation of this surprising com- j pound. At the same time a never j ending stream of voluntary indorse- ; ments and reports are being received from local people, describing j the remarkable benefits they have derived from the use of this medicine. Recently the Konjola Man said: ‘‘This compound has proven vastly more effective in thousands : of cases of ill-health than any pre- j viously known medicine. In this | new day of science the medicine j first must cleanse the system of all j poisons and this must be done \ through the kidneys, liver, stomach ! and bowels. It takes a liquid preparation to do these things. In, making Konjola we selected the j juices of twenty-two of nature’s i plants and herbs.” One of the latest residents of this section to make a public indorsement of Konjola is Mr. E. F. Corbitt, 209 North Warman Ave., who is widely acquainted in Indianapolis. ‘‘Konjola is a wonderful medicine,” said Mr. Corbitt, “It energized my -whole system and built me up so that I am feeling better in general than I have in years. “My whole body was in a weakened condition and I was constantly bothered with a terrible cough that shook my entire body. I had rheumatism so bad in my arms that I could hardly raise them to my face, and really had little use of them. The aches and pains were so bad that I would lie awake at nights suffering and unable to sleep. I was getting worse every day and I began to think that because of my age, you see I am 82 years old, I would never be able to get my health back again. “Os course, the worst thing about my case was the fact that I could never find a medicine to help me. When I heard of Konjola I had no idea it would really end my troubles, but I made up my mind to try it anyway and now this statement will speak for itself. I am feeling like I never had a sick day, in my life. Konjola has put new life in my arms and since I started taking this medicine all the aches and pains are gone. At my age I think it is remarkable that I can enjoy such good health. All my rheumatism is gone and I haven’t been bothered with a cough for some time. My wife and I both claim it is the best thing that ever happened to us when we found Konjola. “It is really a pleasure to indorse a medicine which brings so much health to suffering humanity.” The Konjola Man is at Hook’s drug store, Illinois and Washington Sts., Indianapolis, where he is daily meeting the public and introducing and explaining the merits of this remedy. Konjola is being sold in large quantities at all Hook drug stores, and by all the best druggists in all towns throughout this entire section.—Advertisement.

Association or any oilier organization in order to obtain a court decision cn provisions of the tenure law. Board members are of the opinion, it is said, that by abolishing the positions of the assistant, superintendents. they successfully evade the tenure law. Weir said today he and the other assistant superintendents hold permanent teacher’s contracts with the board which they do not believe can be cancelled by abolishing the positions. Board members are understood to be considering appointment ol two new officials, who may be termed “associate superintendents,’’ to carry on. work of the three assistants. Kern denied that Murray A. Dalman, research director, “is slated at this time to be dismissed.” All three of the assistants are eligible to pensions, although not to the maximum penalty which is based on the number of years of service. Miss Drake, who has had charge of primary work, began her connections with the Indianapolis schools as biology assistant at Shortridge High School in 1897. In 1913 she became practice director in the Indianapolis Normal School and in 1922 was named assistant superintendent under Graff. Weir has been connected with the local schools twenty-nine years, first as a teacher in Manual Training High School. He became assistant superintendent in 1922. Thornton became supervising superintendent in 1902 and assistant superintendent in charge of grades 5 to 8 in 1922. U. P. Lawrence of Peru, Ind.. was appointed Miami County manager for Herbert Hoover’s presidential campaign today by Oscar G. Foellinger, State Hoover manager.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

SCORE WATSON FOR SHUNNING STATE CLEANUP Hoover Forces Challenge Senator to Make Good His Projnises. Failure of Senator James E. Watson to propose or support any plan for a “clean-up” of Indiana politics brought upon him the bitter condemnation of Herbert Hoover's Indiana campaign organization today. In reply to the statements ol Watson's supporters in the Indiana presidential preference race that Hoover's entry in the State intciferes with the “clean-up campaign” Watson would have conducted but for Hoover's intrusion, Oscar G. Foellinger, Hoover State manager, in a statement asked Watson: What his clean-up program was? Why he does not proceed with it? Why lie should be “out of step" with Republican candidates demanding a political clean-up? If his negligence in the matter is “for reasons of expediency?” Claim Hoover Interferes “ P’ne backers of Senator Watson insincerely claim they resent the Hoover entry into Indiana because it interferes with the clean-up campaign that Watson could have conducted if Hoover had not entered the Indiana primary-,” said Foellinger. “If Watson really had a program just what was it, and what makes him afraid now to carry- out that program?” “Practically all the Republican candidates for Senator and Governor in speeches are expressing the demand of the rank and file for a clean-up of Indiana politics,” continued Foellinger's statement: ‘Senator Watson in his many speeches is talking on every other subject except the clean-up issue. “If stalwart Republican candidates for Governor and Senator have the courage and political intelligence openly to support this issue, why should Senator Watson be afraid—why should he be the one to be out of step? Charge Watson Dc ertion "Surely- the idea of wearing the ‘favorite son’ badge to Kansas City dors not justify his desertion of any program he might have had to clean un Indiana politics. If he is doing it for reasons of expediency, his lack of courage cannot be blamed on Hoover. "Hoover’s candidacy in Indiana has not muffled other Republican candidates. Probably Watson’s onlyalibi for failing to join In the cleanup crusade, unless he gives a better one. is that, the leader of the organization that the people want cleaned cannot be the leader in the campaign to restore representative par tv government to Indiana Republicans. “Senator Watson owes it to the intelligent voter; of the State to ray frankly if he broke up the grouD of prominent Republican candidates who are demanding a clcan-up. or if he is aligned with a small group which is trying to stifle any talk on existing political conditions. Hover Joins in Clean-Up "The Hoover organization again asserts that it joins with the Republican candidates for Senator and Governor and local candidates throughout the State in their demand tor a clean-up campaign. “Even though Watson, as the dominating influence of the organization float has discredited Indiana,

PLAN FIVE NEW TRAFFIC LIGHTS Signals on N. Meridian St. to Cost SI,BOO. Installation of uniform trafficsignals on N. Meridian St. following the widening and resurfacing of the thoroughfare is planned by City Gamewell Superintendent William B. Griffis. The new signals will be of the target type, the same as was installed recently at Fourteenth and Meridian Sts. Griffis said it was the desire of the board of safety to beautify the street and make the signs more serviceable. The five signals will cost about SI,BOO. Old signals probably will be repaired and placed at other intersections. Griffis pointed out to the board how maintenance cost could be reduced materially by installing the target type signals. They have twenty-four bulbs instead of sixtyfour, as in the panel type.
