SLACK DELAYS CITY HOSPITAL BIUGPLANS Asks Health' Board Session to Employ Architect and Engineer Held Up.

Selection of an architect, power engineer and hospital consultant for the city hospital building program, authorized by city council Monday night, was delayed today by the board of health pending action of Mayor L. Ert Slack. It was understood Slack ordered the health board to delay a special meeting to employ the experts. - Slack is understood to have in ' mind some applicants for the posts. “It looks like everything is whipping out in shape all right,’’ Dr. E. E. Padgett, health board president, said after an hour’s closed conference with the mayor. Dr. William A. Doeppers, hospital superintendent, attended the conference.

Plan Separate Contracts Although Slack declined to discussed his plans, it was understood he plans separate contracts for each of the proposed units. It generally is believed that the power plant unit will be started first, the others following as the city council sees fit to authorize expenditures. Scherrer Bros., who designed other city hall units, are mentioned in connection with the new program. l It is probable that Slack will order the legal department to prepare the contracts with the stipulation that fees for services will hinge on council’s passage of a bond issue at a later date. Doubt as to legality of the ordinance was expressed by some city officials because council provided no means of paying the architect and most attorneys hold that a municipal contract is illegal where there is no money available to carry it out. The measure gives the board of health authority to employ an architect and consultant to make a study of the hospital building program and draw plans and specifications. The ordinance specifically pro- . vides that the consultant and architect shall be selected after consultation with Mayor L. Ert Slack and that he shall approve all contracts. Fear Contract Is Illegal City Clerk William A. Boyce Jr. and several other city officials expressed the belief that it would be illegal for the board of health to enter into a contract before money is available to pay the architect and consultant. The ordinance originally authorized a $60,000 bond issue to pay fees but was amended to provide that the fees shall be paid by a bond issue to be authorized later. It was the understanding that the council amended the measure because it was feared the city could not sell the bonds even if they were passed by council because of pending litigation which clouds the title of Mayor Slack. Banks have refused to buy municipal bends. Assistant City Attorney Smiley N. Chambers advised the council that the board of health can employ the consultant engineer and architect and proceed legally with the work without the funds to pay fees, provided the contract stipulates that it is subject to a bond issue to be passed later. Strike Out Bond Program On motion of John F. White, the council voted to strike from its files the $1,750,000 building program bond issue for city hospital. Finance Chairman Edward Harris explained that the council refused to pass the bond issue until detailed estimates of costs were submitted. The original bond issue asked anew power plant, service building, contagious ward and a new ward unit for the hospital. According to Dr. William A. Doeppers, superintendent, the hospital has been crowded since condemnation of the old units by the State fire marshal as a fire hazard nearly two years ago. Since that time the beard of health has sought to obtain an emergency bond issue for the hospital. Plan Special Meeting Several of the councilmen have conferred with Mayor Slack and agree that the power plant should be the first unit. It is believed that the council will refused to adopt the entire building program, insisting on passage of bonds for each . unit singularly.

WIRE TAPPING CAREORBERED Dry Agents Are Directed to Be Cautious. Bp United Press / WASHINGTON, June s.—Prohibition investigators have been authorized by Assistant Secretary of Treasury Lowman to resume using, “with’caution,’’ wire-tapping methods to secure evidence, as result of the United States Supreme Court ruling upholding the legality of wire-tapping by Federal officers. “Wire-tapping is beneficial in intercepting messages between conspirators,” Lowman said. “I am in favor of using it to bring criminals to justice but not as a snooping proposition. “We very seldom resort to wiretapping to obtain evidence, except in big cases, involving a great number of persons. We will use it however, with caution, whenever necessary to uphold the law.” C. M. T. C. QUOTA FILLS State Enlistments 97 Per Cent of Limit.

OHIO VALLEY’S TRADE BETTER, SURVEY SHOWS Shippers Are Meeting Here Today for Eighteenth Convention. Employment in the Ohio valley is increasing daily, and general business conditions are improving, according to committee reports to the Ohio valley shippers’ advisory board, which is holding its eighteenth regular meeting at the Claypool today. One thousand traffic men and railroad executives are attending. Mayor L. Ert Slack welcomed the visitors to Indianapolis. The report of the executive committee was read by the chairman, Paul C. Hodges, Columbus (Ohio), general manager of the Marble Cliffs Quarries Company, and was followed by reports of the commodities committees, and reports made to the board by the railroads.

Coal Shipments Drop Hodges, in his report, explained that shipments for the first quarter, had been off, due to weather conditions which have damaged early crops, but that the corn crop would be greater than ever. Manufacturing lines also have shown a slight drop from 1927 in, shipments for the first quarter of 1928, due principally to the decrease in automobile production. Business generally is fair to good, according to shippers' advices, but spotty. Cities with diversified industrial lines generally are enjoying good business, only slightly less than last year. Mines, particularly coal mines, are off because a rate war on freight to the Great Lakes district, between northern and southern railroads, has caused a great drop in shipments to the Northwest States, usually consumers of a large proportion of the Ohier valley coal. However, this reduction in coal shipments undoubtedly will cause a great increase in the future demand from this territory, and a possible shortage in this field, Hodges said. Banquet Tonight The members of the advisory beard will attend a banquet sponsored by the Indianapolis Traffic Club at the Claypoool at 6:30 (Central time) tonight. Hon. Frederick K. Landis, Logansport, editor, will speak. L. E. Banta, t.,3 Board of Trade Bldg., is in charge of reservations. PAROLE GRANTED LIFER AFTER 26-YEAR TERM Sentenced for Murder in 1902, Man Will Be Freed.

Makes Beer in Laundry Admits It —What of It? Bp United Press WAUPACA, Wis.. June s.—Prohibition agents raided the laundry of Hugh G. Allen and found evidence that beer had been manufactured there. Echoes of the affair about town caused Allen to publish the following gentle advertisement in his own justification: “I think I have been misrepresented, so will put a little article in the paper to try and make it look as I think it should. I have been in the city of Waupaca two end one-half years, have enjoyed a very extensive and quite profitable laundry business with the better class of people of the city. “Right now we are turning down-work for some of the best, people because we cannot handle it. Some of the finest ladies in Waupaca have been up my stairs, have been greeted with courtesy— I think they will say so. “I have paid my coal bills and also ice bills in cash. “In my spare moments I made a little beer, but it was good. There was nothing in it that-was not wholesome and pure. In fact, itrtvas so pure it could be used as a tonic for the sick. I might have offered it as such but for two things: I knew that all the doctors here u r ere strict prohibitionists—and then I didn’t want everybody in the city of Waupaca to get sick. “Another thing, m£ own consumption was taxing my facilities of production. For honesty and integrity and morality, I think I will rate par with all single men, probably a little bit above the average of some married men that I know. “This article will be paid for in cash, as some checks in the city of Waupaca are returned with ‘not sufficient funds’ across them.”

LEADER BLASTS HOPE OF FARM TREK ON G. 0. P. ‘Revolt’ March of Great Caravan ‘Ridiculous,’ Says McMullen. Bn United Press LINCOLN, Neb., June s.—The hopes of middle western farmers for the “farm revolt” march upon the national Republican convention at, Kansas City suffered considerably today with the announcement by Governor Adam McMullen that he did not expect the march to materialize. Governor McMullen, who was credited with first proposing the mass movement of fanners to the national convention to protest the veto of the McNary-Haugen farm relief bill, said political writers had made the movement appear “ridiculous and clownish.” “The publicity given the proposed move carried a false impression of my ideas to the public,” McMullen said. “I do not expect a great caravan of farmers to go to the convention. “It merely was a call for the farmer to mobilize at Kansas City,” he continued. McMullen said, however, that he would carry on his fight at the convention to obtain "relief” for the farmers. He said he thought all farmers should attend the meeting “simply to see how the wheels go ’round at a national convention.".
