TRAFFIC SURVEY CONSIDERED BY SAFETY BOARD Code Revision Need Seen If Meurer Wins in Test of Parking Law. Advisability of naming a committed to study traffic conditions with the view of recommending improvements was considered today by the board of safety. The board discussed possibility of a need for revision of the city traffic code in event the loading zone provision is held invalid in municipal court in the test case of Albert Meurer, former city councilman, who voted for the ordinance. “Some day you folks will come around to my plan and abolish all parking In the downtown district,” declared Donald S. Morris, board member. Efforts to enforce the provision that downtown pedestrians move only with the traffic at intersections where there are traffic signals or policemen, were abandoned by the former safety board several months ago after it was found practically impossible to enforce the measure. Traffic Captain Louis Johnson told the board that it was difficult to enforce the pedestrian regulation as Jong as right-hand turns were in existence, automobile traffic frequently interfering with pedestrians who were walking with the signals.

Labor League Opens Offices for Campaign

Icnn O. Royer The Workers Nonpartisan Political Action League, which was active in the municipal election last fall, has reopened headquarters at the English with Lenn O. Royer as campaign director. “An intensive campaign will be conducted for the selection of a slate of candidates on both tickets acceptable to the Marion county wage earners,” Royer said. “Qualifications of the candidates and their attitude toward labor will be scrutinized carefully. Questionnaires will be mailed to all candidates. “Partisanship will not be tolerated by the league. Its sole aim and purpose Is to acquaint the voters of Marion county with qualifications of candidates. "No one will be indorsed for public office solely because he holds a union card. “The league has the support of 115 labor organizations and 15,000 voters in the county,” according to Rover

TWO SCHOOLS AND ADDITION ARE APPROVED Board Takes Steps to Halt Overcrowding Peril Next Fall. With preliminary plans approved, school officials today proceeded with final specifications for erection of new schools Nos. 49 and 69, and a two-room addition to school No. 85. The steps are being taken by the board in an effort to halt a threatened overcrowded condition that will occur in the districts next fall. First hint of a difference in opinion of the board personnel, which, since Jan. 1, has progressed tranquilly, was given at the meeting Tuesday night, but was averted diplomatically. The situation arose when A. B. Good, business director, proposed completing two rooms at School 85, 330 South Arlington avenue, at a cost of $13,000. It was pointed out that Charles Byfield, architect, and C. R. Ammerman, engineer, had included the two rooms in their original plans, but had not completed the structure. Fred Kepner, commissioner, proposed that the building be completed and the board “either select an architect or re-einploy the same one.” The motion had been passed before Russell Willson, board president, asked for it to be reread. When it was reread he said he did not approve re-employment of the same architect and engineer “because he did not know him.” He suggested that part of the resolution be stricken out and made general, which would give Byfield and Ammerman a chance to bid on School No. 69 will be a twelveroom structure at Thirty-fifth street and Keystone avenue and No. 49 will consist of eight rooms, at 1902 West Morris street, the job. The board today has under con-

FINANCIER ‘JUST SOFT GUY’ FOR SUINGACTRESS Millionaire Pictures Self ‘Plaster in Hands’ of Court Foe. Bn r tilted Preta NEW YORK, April 9.—Nathan L. Emster, elderly financier, didn”t mind paying to be “like a god” to Olga Edwards, a retired actress, but she transformed the stolid chairman of the stockholders’ committee of New York subway system into a “soft guy,’’ he said, and then forced an extortion suit on him. The trial of the 34-year-old woman, who seemed to bob up in the most unexpected places with outstretched hands, according to Emster, continued today in general sessions court with a jury learning more and more what can be

Returning for cross-examination Tuesday he told how Miss Edwards’ emulation of Isadora Duncan prompted her to tell him that, like the dancer, she had to have a child to “have something to work for.” Then after his philanthropic feeling prompted him to establish a SIOO,OOO trust fund for her, she continued to pursue him, he said, just as she had done in Rome, Paris, Seville, Venice, Arizona and San Francisco. He denied he was the father of her 6-year-old child. Under cross-examination, Amster said his feeling for Miss Edwards
