TENURE SUITS SEEN OF EQUITY NATURE

Teachers May Have to File Individual Actions.

An Indiana Supreme Court action was interpreted by attorneys today as meaning that individual suits probably will have to be filed by dismissed township schoolteachers seeking to enforce their tenure rights. An order was made in a case involving the status of tenure teachers dismissed by township trustees after provisions of the Tenure Law as applied to township schools were repealed. The case was brought by Miss Dorothy Anderson against Harry’ Brand, trustee of Chester Townhsip, Wabash County. Reviewing this case on order of the U. S. Supreme Court, which held that repeal of the tenure statute did not abrogate a teacher's contractural tenure rights, the Indiana Supreme Court yesterday ordered the case sent down to the Wabash County Circuit Court. The Indiana Supreme Court said contractural rights cannot be enforced by mandate, but must be enforced by an action in equity in the name of the injured party, which in this case would be the dismissed teacher. Meanwhile Charles O. Smith, who has fought extradition to New -York, is to be given a new hearing in Allen County Superior Court. Smith faces a felony charge in New York growing out of an alleged “stench = bombing” of several theaters during a labor dispute. The Allen County court previously discharged Smith following a habeas corpus hearing.

U. S. Hens Turn Out 130 Million Too Many For Consumers.

HERE have been about 130,000,000 more eggs laid in’ the United States this spring than were eafen, the Indiana Farm Bureau: reported today. That's about one egg per capita of population. Joseph W. Schenk, Bureau poultry department manager, atiributed this to the mild winter and early spring and said the production had been far in excess of what anyone supposed the nation’s hens would do. Mr. Schenk urged everyone to eat more eggs, but specially recommended that the farm families, who -have first chance at them, eat more. If each farm family would eat one dozen more a week, he said, the surplus would disappear.

WATSON AT DEPAUW STRESSES EQUALITY

GREENCASTLE, April 6 (U. P.). —Speaking before the student body of DePauw University, former Sen. James E. Watson urged the undergraduates of his alma mater to become interested in politics, “the kind that considers the welfare of all.” “Equality is the touchstone of life,” he said. “Whenever we lose equality, we lose our form of government. Men must be given equal opportunity, but each individual must work out his own salvation.”

Smaller grants for other State institutions also are to be considered by the committee, which is to continue its meeting through tomorrow.
