STATE BOARD SIDETRACKS ARMORY BUILDING INQUIRY

COMMAND TO START PROBE BEING IGNORED Senator Lindley. Chairman of Quiz Groups, Calls for Explanation. NO FUNDS PROVIDED Emergency Clause Fails to Bring About Action for Investigation. "Wonder what became of that armory building investigation ordered by statute passed by the 1929 legislature with an emergency clause?" Thus, casually, did Senator Alonzo H Lindley Rep.. Kingman) inquire of Lawrence Orr, chief examiner of the state board of accounts. when he called at Orr’s office this week. Under the statute, the board of accounts is charged with carrying on the investigation, which was started by a senate committee, of which Lindley was chairman. So far no action on the investigation has been reported, although the emergency clause provided that it get under way immediately and not be delayed until the 1929 statutes arc promulgated. No Experts Hired Governor Harry G Leslie got the legislators to strike out a SIO,OOO appropriation cause, with the promise that he would furnish money from his emergency fund to hire experts to carry’ on the probe. So far no experts have been employed. Lindley’ sought out the Governor, but learned that he was out of the city. His committee obtained data regarding building costs of the nineteen armories erected under the regime of Adjutant-General William H. Kershner under the "closed corporation" plan. All financing was handled by the Peoples State Bank and building by the Ostrom Realty and Construction Company, the bank's subsidiary. Tire board of accounts was to delve more deeply into construction. Experts were to be employed to inspect the buildings and sec if specifications wore followed and fair values received. Terms of members of the armory board, who backed the plan and lent their names to trusteeships of the holding companies, expired March 17. but the Governor neither has reappointed nor dismissed them. Tries to "Ihit One Over" Kershner still lingers on in the adjjustant-general s office, to w’hich he was appointed by former Governor Ed Jackson. Recently he submitted a plan to the Governor for building ten more armories under the disreputed "closed corporation" plan These would be smuggled into the old budget before the new’ one is effective and thus thwart, the legislative will, which was to the effect that no more armories will be built except by open competition and by legislative appropriation. So irate were the lawmakers over the huge building program that they struck from the budget a SIOO.000 specific appropriation for two more armories, although these were to have been under the new plan.

All but fifty of these have been dug into and for the most part looted.”

‘LIFE—HOW FUTILE!’

Ti ger ’ to Will Lesson to France

PARIS. May 18.—Georges Clemenceau's legacy to France—a pictorial comment on te futility of human life—will be placed in the Louvre at his death so that future generations may profit from its lessons. The painting represents Don Quixote tilting with a windmill and is one of two valuable paintings now hanging in the former premier's study. It was given him by the vvariime cabinet and President Raymond Poincare on the day the armistice was signed, as a token of appreciation of the Father of Victory." , Purchased for 38.000 francs, the painting recently was valued at 1.000.000 francs, but its interest lies more in its subject and history than in its execution.

"Isn't that true to life?” Clemenceau commented as he pointed out the characters of the picture he has made a national legaev. B B B TILTING at windmills is a human fallaev. See how idiotic Don Quixote looks on his skinny charger as he climbs the hill to the windmill. Almost apoplectic: he is asleep at the charge.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

SHIELDS VICTOR IN FIGHT OVER COLLEGE POLICY Re-Elected Chairman of Des Moines University Trustees Board. Bn L fitted Pres* BUFFALO. N. Y„ May 18.—Dr. J. T. Shields stood victorious today in "the battle of Des Moines university," which began with an egg and vegetable bombardment in lowa, went through the law courts and apparently came to an end here in the convention of the Baptist. Bible union. Besides being re-elected chairman of the board of trustees of the school, Shields received the unanimous support of the delegates at the meeting of the Bible Union, which controls Des Moines university. Two Opponents Give Up His two chief opponents. Dean E. C. Galloway of the university and the Rev. Minor Stephens, a member of the board of trustees, gave up the fight as early as Friday morning and left for Des Moines. They had failed in their attempt to convince the delegates that Shields was in the wrong when he dismissed the faculty, including Dr. Harry Wayman, president of the university, for alleged leanings toward modernism and for asserting failure to maintain discipline. Students, w’ho had hurled vegetables and bad eggs at the administration building as a. protest against Shields* action, have obtained an injunction requiring the university to hold classes and faculty members returned to their posts temporarily. Meet Next In Indiana What the future holds for Des Moines university has not been decided. but it was obvious today that Shields w’ill have much to do with making the decision w’hen the time comes. He planned to leave for his home in Toronto today for a visit. After that he will go to Des Moines, w’here, in about two weeks, he is expected to call a meeting of the executive committee of the board of trustees to make plans for the fall sesssion of the school. The union delegates selected Mishawaka. Ind.. ac the place for the 1910 convention. Miss Edith Rebman. secretary of the university, who supported Shields throughout the controversy, was re-elected.

Brother!" boomed from a dozen throats. At the height of this oratory the enthusiasm of the congregation reached a fever pitch. ‘‘Hallelujah! Hallelujah." Wright sat down. The little envelopes were pass’d. And believe it or not they c ine back just as they went out Not a pencil scratch pledging money to the Anti-Saloon League appeared. There was one exception—the Negro preacher. After telling his congregation that he “was indeed surprised that none of you saw fit to contribute to this wothy cause.” e wrote his name on one of the envelopes.
