FILE APPEAL IN ACTION AGAINST WATSON. LESLIE Constitution Is Invoked by Gresham in Collins Impeachment Case. Declaring that In view of the failure of the Indiana Constitution to provide a method of impeaching judges, the second clause of the first section of the fourteenth amendment to the United States Constitution should hold force, Otto Gresham today filed assignments of error in the circuit court of appeals at Chicago in his two suits against prominent Indiana Republicans. Wham Gives Permit Permission to take the appeals was obtained by Gresham from Federal Judge Fied L. Wham of East St. Louis, who sat as a special judge in the federal court here. Wham, in a memorandum opinion, declared that William Rogers’ suit for $50,000 damages against Senator James E. Watson and others, does not involve a federal question. Gresham, as attorney, declares that Rogers was persecuted because of his testimony before the Reed committee that Watson had indicated Klan affiliations. Charges Conspiracy Gresham also lias brought suit against Governor Harry G. Leslie and Representative J. Glenn Harris of Gary for $50,000 damages, charging that they conspired to deter the presentation of a petition asking impeachment of Criminal Court Judge James A. Collins. Wham held that the Indiana Constitution does not provide a means for impeachment, and Gresham in his assignment of errors holds that provisions of the fourteenth amendment become operative in such event.

Know Your Library—No. 4

Haughville s Library Is ‘Port of All Nations’

One must be a cosmopolite, father-confessor, adjustor of family differences, give away brides, if one is librarian in the city’s port of "all-nations”—Haughville. For in a semi-brick structure at 519 Belle Vieu place, housing the Haughville branch library, twentynine nationalities foregather to take books from shelves. Miss Margaret O'Connor, acting librarian, and her assistants find their duties a cross between a guardian of the fiction tastes of the 6.000 patrons of the polyglot settlement, welfare worker and mediator of racial and marital squabbles. Between helping christen a Slav babe and selecting a translated wild west book, the Haughville librarians find little boredom. Miss O’Connor estimates that six out of ten books taken out of the library by patrons are suggested or selected by herself and her aids. The branch has 2,000 volumes in foreign languages in circulation in the neighborhood. "We have only one fly in the ointment. We can’t keep thumb tacks for placing bulletins on boards,” Miss O’Connor asserted. “Why?” she laughingly repeated. “Well, you see, the youngsters use them for heel-plates on shoes.” HOLT IS 83 TODAY Friends Pay Respects to Former Controller. Sterling R. Holt, who resigned recently as city controller, today observed his eightieth birthday at his home with friends calling informally to pay respects. He came to Indainapolis from Almance county, North Carolina, when a boy, and has been active in business, civic and political life of the city. Holt was named city controller in the Slack administration and served three months under Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan. A dinner which had been planned in his honor was postponed because of his slight illness. Suggests Crime Curb rm Times Snecial NEWCASTLE, Ind., March 26.
