Challenges Writ

Judge Cox challenged the writ on the grounds that his court- had jurisdiction in all injunction matters and thaf the prohibition against his court was illegal. Judge Cox also raised the question" of Mr. Spencer's right to ask for a writ on the theory that he was not a party to -the injunction suit. The stated: “We think there is no merit to this proposition. . It cannot be denied that the State's interests were affected by the action instituted in Circuit Court and the relator was the representative of the State in prosecutions pending in ;Criminal Court and. therefore had the right to file the petition.” It was contended that the change of judge act violates the Constitution in delegating powers to the Supreme Court élerk, an administrative officer. The Court ruled that “selection of judges.is not a judicial function and could not have been so considered as the time the Constiution was enacted.” Prosecutor Spencer said he would have the Criminal Court clerk cer-

Lawyers to Be Named

Upon receipt of the affidavit, the Supreme Court: clerk is authorized to certify names of three attorneys from” whom a special judge would be named. The Prosecutor would strike one name and the defense the other, leaving the remaining lawyer as special judge. Mr. Spencer said it had not been determined whether separate trials would be held for .Joel Bajer and Cancilla. 4 Indictments against Ale were based upon evidence in the slugging of Mr. Coy by Cancilla in the State House March 1.

SCHOOL BOARD PLANS T0 SPEED BUDGET MAKING

State Ruling on Salaries May Necessitate Emergency Appropriations.

School Board members today prepared to speed budget making for the 1937-38 school year, and indicated public hearings may be held in June. This action was decided on after a State Tax Board ruling which, it is said, will make necessary emergency appropriations, with Tax Board approval, to pay the 1937 portion of teachers salaries: and a proposed $200,000 wage increase. In the past, according to board members, an expenditure budget has been compiled at the same time as the regular budget expendjture. Budget items covered bills and teachers salaries for the current year until the new. fiscal budget was approved by the State Board.

Emergency ‘Action Hinted

[Under the Tax Board's decision, school officials believe it may be necessary to make emergency appropriations in lieu of the expenditures budget. Alan Boyd, School Board president, said he would confer with members and the board's attorney before deciding what action would be taken. The State Board has asked that teachers’ valid by appropriating the .money before submitting contracts for signature or tendering appointments to tenure teachers. Efforts were made at the recent Legislature to cbinge the School Cities from a fiscal year basis to a

calendar year. The bill failed to win.

support although it was not opposed ‘by Indianapolis School Commissions drs; Changes Are Suggested

Several City tax experts have sug-, gested the School City begin bud-*

geting early in May and that the State law. be changed to permit budget approval before the fiscal year ends June 30. They claim this change would permit the School City to budget from fiscal year 10 year without the necessity of an emergency appropriation to cover the time from July to November, when the State Board approves the tax levy and budgets. “In effect, the State Tax Board wants school cities and trustees to come before them for approval of the increase in teachers’ salaries or other expenditures,” one representative of a taxpayers’ group said. Mr. Boyd said informal board meetings would be held on the 19371938 budget this month. The regular board meeting is scheduled May 11. Teachers are to be appointed this month and contracts mailed them on the closing day of School, June 4.

DENY DENHARDT HAD TRICK GUN

Occupants of His Farm Dispute Testimony of State Witness.

ByeTinited Press : NEW CASTLE, Ky. May 1— Prosecution testimony that Gen. Henry H. Denhardt; charged with murder of Mrs. Verna Garr Taylor, carried a “fountain pen” gun in his pocket eight or nine days before his fiancee’s death was denied today by defense witnesses. The Cole brothers, William and Wash, who live on the General's 800-acre farm on which he and Mrs. Taylor planned to settle Blown after marriage, denied the testimony of Clarence Roberts. Mr. Roberts testified the General had the trick weapon in his pocket not long before the fatal shooting last Nov. 6. Both sides admit Mrs. Taylor was slain with the general's 45-caliber Army revolver, although the defense version is that she commited suicide. But the fountain pen gun, designed to fire either gas shells or bullets, is “important because the prosecution has intimated that the soldier-politician used it to establish an alibi. Two shots were heard about the time of the pretty widow's death, the first louder than the second. A moment after the second sounded, George Baker, a farmer saw Denhardt 600 feet from the body: The State holds that Denhardt shot

-Mrs. Taylor, threw down his 45, and

then went to the Baker farmhouse, near which he fired the fountain pen gun to establish his alibi.’

Farmers Start Battle to Save Corn Crop.

By Uniled Press 3 EVANSVILLE, Ind., May 1— Hard hit ‘by the January flood, Union Township farmers today began a desperate battle to save partly planted corn as E. E. Unger, U. S. Meteorologist here, forecast a minor flood for Vanderburgh County. Mr. Unger predicted recent heavy rains over the Green River Valley in Kentucky will send the Ohio River here up to 35° feet. The Green River empties into the Ohio here. °. At that stage, more than 1000 acres of valuable corn land in Union Township, south of the city, are

flooded. A flood at this time would

crop this year would be doubtful,
