HIGHWAY BOARD SCRAMBLED BY REDISTRICTING Wedeking Reappointment Is Slated as Leslie Debates New Law. BY DANIEL M. KIDNEY Indiana’s new reapportionment law has scrambled the congressional districts so that it leaves the status of members of the state highway commission in the shape of an omelet. Just what has happened is being studied at the statehouse now in the hope of finding a way for Governor Harry G. Leslie to reappoint Albert J. Wedeking (Rep., Dale), to the state highway commission. Wedeking has represented the first highway district, under the law creating the commission. He is commission chairman and his term expires April 17. Under the highway law the first highway district is to be composed of the first, second and third congressional districts. The old congressional reapportionment placed these three districts in southern Indiana, but under the new law the first district is in Lake county and the second and third districts are composed of the counties surrounding Lake in the northern part of the state. Ogden Studies Law Backers of Wedeking point out that the appointment can be made before the 1931 laws are proclaimed in effect by the Governor. But the term is for four years and status of such an appointment might be questioned, it is asserted by those who have raised the question of legality. The district setup of the highway law can only be changed by an act of the legislature, it is pointed out. Attorney-General James M. Ogden is giving the matter some study, it was learned. He has pointed out that, in his opinion, the old districts will hold their status until after the 1932 congressional elections, which will be based on the new districting. To back up this viewpoint, Ogden cites a hypothetical case growing out of possible death of one of the present Indiana congressman. He should be succeeded under the old district plan, or some new district would have two or three congressmen and leave whole counties unrepresented, the attorney-general declares. Subcommission Status in Doubt Status of all members of the highway commission will be in doubt when the new reapportionment goes into effect. Commissioner Jess Murden (Rep., Peru), so-called commission “boss,” now represents the third highway district because he lives in the Eleventh congressional district. The third highway district is comprised of Eighth, Ninth and Eleventh congressional districts. Under the new law Murden will be in the Fifth congressional district. Commissioner Arthur P. Melton (Dem., Gary) now represents the Fourth highway district, because he lives in the Tenth congressional district. But under the new law he will reside in the First congressional district. Fourth highway district is composed, by law, of the Tenth, Twelfth and Thirteenth con- i gressional districts. Wedeking Appointment On Time Commissioner Robert B. Boren (Dem., Fountain City), has been he second highway district representative on the commission, living in the Sixth congressional district. The Second highway district is composed of the Fourth, Fifth, Sixth and Seventh congressional districts. Now, when the new law* is effective, Boren will be a resident of the Tenth congressional district. In the past it has been a policy of the Governor to let appointments ride, sometimes for as much as two years, without making any decision. This would permit him to avoid any legal complications, it is pointed out. But Wedeking’s appointment may be made on time, particularly if Murden so desires, it is said.

OIL PACT ADVANCED BY WESTERN STATES “Crude” Price Output Would Be Regulated Under Proposal. By Scripps-H award Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, April 7.—Ten states, producing 90 per cent or more of the country’s total annual output of petroleum, will exercise absolute control over the production and price of crude oil throughout the United States, under their plan for interstate agreements to be submitted to the federal oil conservation board here Thursday. Cicero Murray, cousin of Governor “Alfalfa Bill” Murray of Oklahoma, and chairman of the oil states advisory committee, has opened headquarters in this city, and committeemen will hold conferences there preceding the meeting Thursday with Secretary of Interior Wilbur and the board. Murray is backed by the legislative indorsements of the ten states and may be one of the most powerful figures in American industry under the new plan to regulate the production, distribution and price of petroleum.

’LIMPING' AUTOS CALLEDMENACE Spring Brings Out Weird Cars, Says Club Head. Spring has other hazards besides black eyes from dubbed golf balls, baseballs landing on the breakfast table, chigger bites and White river “suck holes.” For the motorist who rides the highways and the pedestrian who walks them must guard against the automotive Smithsonian institute exhibits that “chug” on the pavements. Todd Stoops, secretary-manager of the Hoosier Motor Club, today warned citizens against the montrosity of 1905 that called itself an automobile and attempts to roll along like any streamline model. “Many of these decrepit cars, of every make and model, will put in their appearance as spring weather comes. They have been stored away for the winter, but in the warmer months become a menace on the road,” he said. He urged owners of antiquated autos to see that their brakes are in good condition.

City’s Negro Population Shows Huge Increase

Negro population of Indianapolis increased 26.8 per cent during the ten years preceding the 1930 census while the city’s white population increased 14.5 per cent. This was one of the facts revealed today as the director of census announced the classification of Indianapolis’ 1930 census by color, nativity and sex, together with the number of persons over 21 and the foreignborn white population of 21 by citizenship. The total population of the city of Indianapolis on April 1, 1930, was 364,161, comprising 176,647 males and 187,514 females, or 94 males per 100 families. There were in the city 320,064 white persons, 43,967 Negroes, and 130 of other races, the last including Mexicans, Indians, Chinese, Japanese, Filipinos, etc. As compared with the number in 1920 (279,411) the white population shows an increase of 14.5 per cent, while the Negro population (which numbered 34,678 in 1920) shows an increase of 26.8 per cent. The white population included 306,324 persons of native birth and 13,740 persons of foreign birth. The population 21 years of age and over numbered 244,466, or 67.0 per cent of the total. The foreign-born white population 21 years of age and over amounted to 13,209, of which number 2,064 were returned as alien. Marion county’s total population in 1930, including Indianapolis and suburbs, was 422,666. The Indianapolis figures, which are subject to slight correction, are summarized in the following table:

French ‘Crown Prince’ to Wed Royal Cousin

j?!/ United Press V iRIS, April 7.—French royalist? see the dawning of anew day, bringing health and vigor to the house of Bourbon-Orleans, in Wednesday’? marriage at Palermo of Prince Henri, Count de Paris, and his distant cousin, Princess Isabella D’Orleans-Bragance. Prince Henri, who will celebrate his 23d birthday on July 5, is the heir-pretender to the throne of France. Tall, handsome, with the olue eyes and flaxen hair of the Orleans family, Prince Henri is the favorite of French royalists. His father, the Due De Guise, is the actual prentender to the throne. Princess Isabella, 20, is the daughter of Prince and Princess Pierre D’Alcantara. The prince, who was born at Petropolis, near Rio De Janeiro, renounced his pretentions to the Brazilian throne in favor of his brother, Prince Louis, at Cannes in 1908. Princess Isabella thus is the direct descendant of Don Pedro of Brazil. French royalists believe the marriage of these young descendants of King Louis Philippe and King Louis XV will unite the party as it never has been united since the establishment of the Third Republic.

MURDER TRIAL DF MRS. COLE NEARING JURY Final Arguments Likely to Be Made Today; Denies Loving Killer. By Times Special RUSHVILLE, Ind., April 7.—End of the trial of Mrs. Marie Cole of Indianapolis for complicity in murder of her husband, neared today as the defense rested and the state summoned rebuttal witnesses. Final arguments are expected to begin late today, with the case going to the jury probably Wednesday. Continuing cross-examination of Mrs. Cole this morning the state elicited only further denials of her alleged plot with Frank Jordan to slay Raymond Cole to consummate their love. Shown a confession bearing her name, she admitted it was her signature, but could not recall having signed the paper, she said. Just Said Anything “I knew my life was gone anyway, so I said anything,” she testified. “They wouldn’t believe me anyway. They thought I was guilty.” The last time she saw her husband, Mrs. Cole related, was about 9:15 p. m., Oct. 31. In the afternoon of the next day his body v/as found in a lane near Greenfield. Asked again about her confession, she admitted it, saying she sought to help Frank, not because she loved him —she had denied that—but because of his two children. Among rebuttal witnesses were Dr. Oscar Heller, Hancock county coroner; his secretary, Miss Levon Reeves, who refuted Mrs. Cole’s denial of statements to the coroner, and described them, and Sheriff John Nye of Hancock county. Jail Kiss First The first time Jordan kissed her, Mrs. Cole said, was in the county jail at Greenfield, where they were held pending his trial. Under direct examination late Monday, Mrs. Cole told how she waited at home the night of Cole’s murder in a lonely lane near Greenfield Oct. 31. “I was at home waitin„ for Raymond,” she said. “I was so worried when he didn’t return the next morning, and on the following day I was told he had been killed.” Mrs. Cole also denied that she and Jordan had visited the death spot before the slaying of Cole and had perfected final details of the alleged plot. Asks About Love “You loved Frank Jordan, didn’t you?” Mrs. Cole was asked by Prosecutor William Bussell. “I did not,” she answered. “I loved him as a friend—like I would one of my girl friends.” According to her tes imony, her husband encouraged h a to associate with Jordan and, at one time, she testified, had her pawn jewelry to get Jordan a car so Cole and Jordan might run a load of liquor. Jordan is serving a life sentence in the state prison as “trigger man” in the slaying.

FRAUD CHARGED IN PASSAGE OF BILL

Suits Seek Injunction in Printing of Utility Measure. “Fraud and mistake” in the proceedure by which a utility bill became a law in the 1931 state legislature are charged in three suits filed today in Marion circuit court seeking an injunction to prevent the printing, circulating and recording of the bill. The suits relating to House Bill No. 6, regulating bus transportation by amending a 1925 law, were filed by the city of Indianapolis, the city of Muncie and Clarence Fay Hudson, a Muncie <t taxpayer. Frank Mayr Jr., secretary of state, is named defendant in all the suits. Main contention in the suits is that the bill, which allegedly was passed in one form in the house of representatives and by another wording, or form, in the senate, uas enrolled by fraud and through mistake was signed Grovernor Harry G. Leslie as passed. Hold Hearing Thursday First hearing on the suits will be held Thursday morning in circuit court, when Mayr will appear to answer charges of plaintiffs. Members of the conference committee handling the bill and named in the suits are: Senators John C. Sherwood and J. Francis Lochard and Representatives William B. Conner and James M. Knapp. It is charged that matter in the bill giving board of works, common councils and board of trustees in cities and towns power to continue to supervise, control or regulate motor transportation with their limits, was struck out in conference committee. The suit alleges this conference report was concurred in by the house of representatives, but never was reported to the senate. The bill was acted upon in the closing minutes of the legislature, amid rush and confusion; it is said. Integrity Not Questioned Attorneys for the cities filing the suits said that the suits do not question the integrity of presiding officers of the house and senate or that of Governor Harry G. Leslie, who signed the bill. Failure of Attorney-General James M. Ogden to give a ruling on validity of the bill, after he was asked several weeks ago, is believed to have caused the cities to seek court action. Deery, city attorney for Indianapolis, and George Koons, city attorney for Muncie, filed the suits. Another suit will be filed by Samuel Harrig, chairman of the East New York Street-. Civic League, Indianapolis, representing Indianapolis taxpayers. If the suits are upheld, it will be the first time Indiana courts ever have gone “behind the record” and into the procedure by which they became a law. SMITH OUSTER MOVE • GETS OGDEN’S RULING Attorney-General Says Removal Is Impossible Without Hearing. Z. M. Smith, director of state vocational education, was assured by Attorney-General James M. Ogden today that he can not be ousted from his position without cause even if the Democrats have captured the office of the superintendent of public instruction. In an opinion to Smith, the at-torney-general set out that although he can not be removed by the state board of education without hearing and for cause, all of his assistants may be replaced without this formality. Most of the positions under Smith have already been filled by the Democrats. MRS. COHN, 86, WILL BE BURIED THURSDAY Resident of Marott Hotel Died of Heart Disease.

TURBINE INVENTED Mercury Vapor Use Means Cheaper Power. By NEA Service SCHENECTADY, N. Y., April 7. Anew and larger turbine electric generator using mercury vapor instead of steam and producing more power cheaply than existing steam plants, is being constructed here. This 20,000-kilowatt turbine will have twice the output of the mercury vapor engine and generator which already has proved its superior efficiency over steam turbines during a period of a year at Hartford, Conn. The new plant will be the first outdoor steam plant and will be even more efiteient than the Hartford station. The mercury Is boiled over a fire and the vapor is played on the. blades of a turbine wheel as in a steam generator, but at a much higher temperature. The advantage of the quicksilver over water is due in the first place to its higher boiling temperature. This allows the engineer to use his mercury at as high as 950 degrees Fahrenheit without producing uncomfortably high pressure in the boiler.

Ernest Patrick, former Edinburg high school student, has sold hit tubeless radio invention to a group of Chicago men. and it is reported tr * a deposit of $5,000 has been n. .de in the Irwin Union Trust Company bank here to bind the bargain. The deposit is to the credit of Jhn Patrick, father of the young nventor, who is not yet of legal age. Bank officials would not comment on the matter, but did not deny that some deposit had been made. As further renumeration, young Patrick is to be employed by the group at a salary of S2OO a month.
