POOR AID GOST MAY BE PROBED BY GRAND JURY Knox County Prosecutor in Warning Due to $54,000 Deficit, By Time* Special VINCENNES, Ind., March 23. Unless there is an Immediate iduction in Vince ines township poor relief expenditures the situation will be the topic of a grand jury investigation, Prosecutor Lyle E. Miller announces. The heavy cost of poor relief first came to the fore March 1, when Knox county commissioners were told by Trustee J. Frank Organ of Vincennes towship that the fund for that purpose was overdrawn $54,000, Police Take Hand Declaring he was without facilities to make investigation of applications, Organ admitted there were possibilities that the township was being defrauded and consented to police aiding him in the work. As a result Police Chief Martin, Captain Fred Nierste and patrolman Louis Freshley have been investigating cases. The chief interviews applicants at Organ’s office and the other officers do the outside work. Anew policy has been put into effect, whereby amounts of various foods will be specified in each order for groceries, instead of issuing a blanket order for $2 to each family. Fraud Revealed Martin says he has found several instances of fraud being practiced in obtaining township money. One woman who had been aided recently purchased anew automobile; she has money on deposit in a bank and lives In the home of a son, who has a good job. One man, given a $2 order wished to cash it. A grocer refused, so the rnan bought $2 worth of eggs, which he sold to another store, and used the money to buy gasoline. Dole Plan Adopter! hy Times Sped,'l MUNCIE, Ind., March 28.—Township distribution of poor funds is simply a dole, in the opinion of Trustee George Hawkins of Center township, and will so regard it in future distribution, he said, in announcing that a sliding scale would become effective here instead of flat rate of $2.50 a family.

Thus a family of three will get $2; four, $2.50, etc. The trustee has submitted a list of forty-three articles which may be bought on township orders and the list doesn't include tobacco. Men receiving aid who are physically able, will be forced to work in the community gardens. The rate of pay for gardening has been fixed at 50 cents an hour. Six hundred city lots have been made available for gardening with forty acres of land donated by the Warner Gear Company, just west of the city limits

EDUCATOR’S RESIGNATION HELD RESULT OF POLITICS

Coup Believed Work of South Bend Major’s G. 0. P. Friend. By Tim'* Spenial SOUTH BEND. Ind., March 23. —Politics is blamed for creating a situation which brought about the resignation of W. W. Borden, for ; twelve years superintendent of South Bend schools. At the same time, Borden resigned as a mem- ! ber of the state board of educaI tion. The superintendent in the past had been tendered three-year con- ! tracts, but tfiis week the city school board offered him one for only a j year, and the resignation, to be I effective Aug. 31, followed. The | salary is SS,OOO a year. Republican Led Fight Jacob M. Chillas, a Republican and close friend of W. Riley Hinkle, South Bend’s Democratic mayor, appointed to the school board by the mayor when Frank J. Mayr Jr., Democrat, resigned to assume his duties as secretary of state, is generally credited with organizing the opposition to Borden among board members. Democrats Shift Blame It is believed that use of Chillas was a master stroke on the part of Democrats, who are hopeful the average voter will overlook the close alliance of the board member and the mayor and blame the Republicans for the ousting of Borden. Chillas is rated as only nominally Republican, but even that status will serve to shift blame from the Democrats, they believe. It is not clear just what reasons are held as an excuse for putting Borden in the position which brought about his resignation, but there is talk that certain board members resented the superintendent’s action in handling some school matters without first consulting them and that his participation in naitonai and state educational affairs was not fully approved.

RICHMOND LIGHT PLANT DISPUTE CHANGE LIKELY Successor to Committee Chairman Holds Views Directly Opposite, By Times Special RICHMOND, Ind.. March 28.—An old situation will exist in the affairs of the Richmonc city government if plans made at a councilmanic caucus this week are carried to completion. Richard Holzapfel, now serving his second year as a councilman, is slated to become chairman of the special council committee which acts as a board of works. He would succeed L. E. Fahlsin, killed last week in an automobile accident. Holzapfel is an ardent champion of the proposed standby service for the municipal light plant, but in his new position he would be chairman of a committee which, with Fahlsing at its head, was committed to a program of development for the light plant, and opposed to the standby service. A special meeting of council was called this week at which time official notification was given of Fahlsing’s death. Following this meeting a caucus was held. At the regular session of council, April 6, a successor to Fahlsin will be chosen. The special committee selects its own chairman and it is understood that Holzapfel will get the post. The committee chairman has direct supervision over affairs of the light plant.

Leadership Recognized

During the time he has served as councilman Holzapfel has won recognition as one of the leaders of the legislative branch of the city government. He was one of the leaders in a revolt on the council which resulted in the abolition of the board of works. This move gave the council complete authority In the city’s affairs, three of its members serving as the special committee. The Indiana public service commission now has before it two proposals concerning the local plant, one asking a revision of rates and the other for a standby service with some outside utility to guarantee uninterrupted service. It has been charged that revision of rates was asked by local manufacturers to embarrass the city in its plant expansion program, a charge vigorously denied by Denver Harlan, attorney for the manufacturers’ association. Lines owned by Insull interests now almost completely surround the city and the stand taken against a hook-up with an outside utility has been based on the assertion that it would give these interests a hold on the local plant.

ESTATE OF VICTIM IN ACCIDENT SUED

Generally Accepted View of Laws Attacked in Anderson Case. By Times Special ANDERSON, Ind., March 28.—A popular theory regarding an Indiana law is challenged by attorneys representing two couples in suits against the estate of J. E. Vandeventer, Anderson manufacturer, to recover damages for personal injuries. The generally accepted theory has been that the death of a person alleged to have caused the injury of others by negligence precludes suits to recover against the estate of the deceased. Five Saits Ask Damages The point is raised in five suits brought against the Vandeventer estate by Mr. and Mrs. W. O. Sparks and Mr. and Mrs. Frank Alger, injured when Sparks’ automobile collided with one driven by Vandeventer at the intersection of the Mechanicsburg and Pendleton - Newcastle highways. Although seemingly recovered from injuries suffered in the accident, Vandeventer died suddenly a few weeks after the wreck. Each of the four plaintiffs is separately seeking judgment, and Sparks is also asking $20,000 for loss of the services of his wife, Mildred. The complaint avers she was so seriously Injured that she is no longer able to operate their grocery. Mrs. Sparks had conducted the store while her husband worked for the Big Four railroad. He says he has spent $1,500 for medical services and hospital care for his wife. Defense Files Demurrers Attorneys for the estate have demurred to the complaints for damages. Judge Carl F. Morrow, of Madison circuit court, has heard arguments on the demurrers and has taken his decision under advisement. Vandeventer, an executive of the Dwiggins Wire Fence Company and the Inland Steel Company, left a large estate. His will named the widow and a daughter as the principal heirs. Eight persons, riding in the automobiles in the crash, were injured. Another of the injured, Dr. H. B. Reid, Anderson dentist, died a few weeks after the accident.
