RHODES AWARD SEEKERS MUST ACT DY OCT. 18 I Indiana Entitled to Two; Oxford University Schol- ! arships. bu Times Sotcial BLOOMINGTON. Ind.. Sept. 27. All college and university students of Indiana who are interested in the Rhodes scholarship appointment to Oxford. England, for this year must file applications with the state Rhodes scholarship committee not later than Oct. 18. according to the announcement here today of Professor R. H. Coon of the Indiana university Latin department, secretary of the committee. All Indiana university candidates must have their applications with the local committee, of which Dean S. E. Stout is chairman, before Oct. 11, at which time the committee will determine whether or not applicants are eligible to represent the university, which will be entitled to five candidates. The number of candidates each college and university in the state is determined by the size of the institution, five being the maximum. Thirty-Two From Entire Nation Anew system of selecting the thirty-two Rhodes recipients from the United States v ill be put into practice this year, according to Dr. Coon. Heretofore, it has been the practice for each state to have a recipient two out of every three years, but this year for the first time, the candidates will be chosen by districts. The states have been divided tnto eight districts, six to a district. Each state wil be entitled to two candidates and these candidates, twelve in number in each istrict, will appear before a district committee and four will be chosen winners. The Indiana candidates will appear before the state committee Dec. 6 at Indianapolis at which time the state's two representatives will be chosen. The district meeting will be held about two weeks later, probably in Chicago. Indiana is in the fourth district with Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, Kentucky and Oho. Valued at 86,000 The total value of a Rhodes scholarship is $6,000, providing for three years of study at Oxford, with an allowance of $2,000 for each year. This sum is sufficient to meet expenses for term time and vacations. A candidate must be a male citizen of the United States, with at least five years* domicile, and unmarried. He must have passed his nineteenth and under his twentyfifth year and must have completed his sophomore year in a recognized degree-granting university or college. Beginning in 1930 Rhodes recipients are allowed either to postpone their third year, returning to Oxford for it after a period of work in their own countries, or may spend it in post-graduate work at any university of Great Britain, and in special cases, at any university on the continent of Europe, the overseas dominions or in the United States, other than’ the country of their origin, on conditions approved by their own college and by the Rhodes trustees. Indiana has had nineteen Rhodes men at Oxford. In 1925 and 1928 thev were from Indiana university, Philip Rice in 1925 and Harlan Logan in 1928. In 1927 the winner was a Purdue man, E. R. Boiler. The present Indiana holder of an award is Richard Lattimore, Wabash college. SUITS FOLLOW CRASHES Damages Asked in Three Cases on File at Anderson. Bu Times Special ANDERSON. Ind..

DOND TROUBLES AGAIN WORRYING CITY TREASURER Hammond Official’s Counsel Predicts Disclosures. Bu Times Special HAMMOND, Ind., Sept. 27—For the second time within a few months the grip of Henry Heckler in the office of Hammond city treasurer is slipping through action of the surety on his official bond in asking to be relieved of responsibility. The total bond is $1,490,000, of which $1,000,000 covers collections under the new Barrett law and the remainder civil city tax collections. An Indiana statute does not require that in such cases any reason for cancellation be stated. However, Joseph Conroy, a Democrat who is attorney for Heckler, who is a Republican, declares the cancellation move is part of a conspiracy to get Heckler out of office. Sensational Expose Promised The attorney says Heckler has engaged the Masonic temple here as the scene for a mass meeting at which he will make "startling disclosures” regarding the bond situation. The treasurer this week appeared at a Democratic rally, but Conroy declared this was not an indication that he would change parties. However, according to' the attorney, Heckler, preceding the fall election, will continue to fight what he terms a Republican machine. Cause Not Revealed In the latest cancellation action, filed in Lake circuit court by Arthur L. Gilliom, former attorneygeneral of Indiana, the statute permitting secrecy as to cause is observed. Reports are current here that the same companies which underwrote the bond issued by the United States Fidelity and Guaranty Company, which is seeking release, have withdrawn, leaving it with a load of responsibility •it considers too heavy. It is also said that the fact that three Hammond banks in which city funds are deposited have been closed since the bond was signed, has a bearing on the case. Unless Heckler supplies anew bond within ten days, his office can be declared vacant and a successor chosen.
