WAY PAVED FOR STATE TD MAKE ITS OWN CEMENT i Appellate Court Denial of Labor Injunction Is Viewed Favorable. Movement to manufacture cement mi the Indiana state farm, Putnammie, was given impetus today by a ruling of the appellate court handed down Wednesday. The court’s ruling eliminates any possible legal barrier to state manufacture of cement at the Putnam▼Ulc institution and the idea will be brought before the next legislature. K was predicted. Appellate judges upheld the refusal of the Putnam circuit court to grant Injunction against manufacture of willow baskets at the state farm. Injunction had been asked by the Ove Gnatt Company, basket manufacturers, on the grounds that private manufacturing can not compete w ith penal labor. The court held that manufacturing at the farm is purely an administrative matter and not one for the courts to decide, thus paving the way for a cement plant if the legislators vote its erection. It has been pointed out that the gtate buys 2,000,000 barrels of cement annually with little reduction from prices offered small contractors. due to the enormous combination among cement manufacturers.

SAVING OF STATE-AID SCHOOL FUNDS ASKED Conserving Rather Than Increasing Sum Favored by Oit. Plea for conservation of state-aid schools funds rather than appropriation of larger amounts was made, Wednesday by Lawrence F. Orr, chief of the state board of accounts, j In an address at the Knights town Kiwanis Club. Orr defended the system, in use from 1921 to 1927- under which all claims on the school aid fund were checked by the accounts board before payment and pointed out advantages of this system over the: present plan of checking vouchers, after payment is made. “More funds are demanded for Btate aid purposes, but conservation of the funds set aside with a proper distribution should be attained first.” . he said. “Then it can be determined , whether more money is needed.” Orr attacked arguments that state school funds should be distributed by “school men” acquainted with schools.” GERMANS GUARD NAME Warn Shipping Firms Against Taking Arms to China.

DENIES TAKING DRY CASE FEES Miles Approves $25 Pay in Liquor Prosecutions. Ethan A. Miles, Indiana AntiSaloon League attorney, today denied vehemently that he ever took any money under the fee system for liquor prosecutions as we stated in The Indianapolis Times Tuesday. Miles’ name was used in connection with quotations from Governor Harry G. Leslie in which the Governor condemned the fee system in prohibition prosecutions as one of the causes of overcrowding Indiana penal institutions. The $25 fee goes to prosecutors or special prosecutors and the court sets fees for attorneys in padlock proceedings, Miles explained. He said that he is on salary with the Anti-Saloon League and never takes the fees. Jesse Martin, also an attorney with offices in Indiana Anti-Saloon League headquarters in the Roosevelt budding, takes the fees allowed by the court, Miles asserted. Martin has appeared in many padlock proceedings here with Miles. Miles approves the $25 fee system on the grounds that prosecutors are underpaid in the rural counties, but believes a better method is to put them all on a full-time salary basis, he declared. He pointed out that an attempt was made to wipe out the special attorney’s fees in liquor cases in 1927 and that he personally appeared before the legislative committee and saved the law.

DANGER OF FIRE IN PRISONS OF EAST IS SLIGHT New York Insane Hospital Worst Trap in State, Checkup Reveals. Following is the first of a series of stories conditions in some of the major prisons of the country, prompted by the tragedy of the prison fire at Columbus, O. Bu United Preen NEW YORK, April 24.—Fear of prison rebelllions always is vividly present in the minds of institution officials, but fear of fire—usually a companion menace in jail revolts — largely is discounted in eastern penitentiaries by modernization and fireproofing of cell blocks, officials in various states said today. Checkup of conditions in New York, inspired by Monday’s disaster at Columbus, 0., revealed today that a recurrence of the tragedy, in the words of Dr. Raymond F. C. Kieb, New York state commissioner of corrections, “is remote.” The only real fire trap now existing, in his opinion, is the old laundry building at the Matteawan Hospital for Criminal Insane, where 1,147 inmates are held. Fire at Matteawan might lead to a holocaust that would shock the entire country, he said. New York state now is spending about $10,000,000 on new prisons and equipment, including anew “model” prison at Attica. As is the cast in most states, New York’s penal institutions are overcrowded. Sing Sing, with a population 'f 2,155 and a normal capacity of 1,738, is the most heavily overloaded. New York’s prison population numbers 11,188, which is 1,654 greater than the normal capacity. The Rhode Island state prison is constructed of granite. Housing 678 convicts, it has been modernized thoroughly in recent years. MOB LYNCHES NEGRO South Carolina Sheriff Is Wounded in Jail Raid.
