Hoosier News Briefly Told

EDWIN M. LEE IS REMOVED Governor Gives Decision in Case of Member of Service Body Following Hearing—lncompetence Alleged. Indianapolis.—Governor Goodrich removed Edwin M. Lee from the Indiana public service commission, in a finding in which he said that the charge of incompetency made against Lee as a member of the commission had been sustained in the trial of the case before the governor. . Governor Goodrich again called attention informally to the fact that Ift considered'Lee’s political standing only insofar as it was an evidence of the moral qualities of the man.

In his forgial finding in the case the governor said the charge that Lee was Incompetent when he was appointed and now was sustained. Before making the announcement the governor overruled motions filed during the hearing by the defense, in which it was contended that the removal of Lee would be a judicial act and not an executive act, and that therefore the govrnor did not have jurisdiction. The governor said no of a man to succeed Lee on the commission would be announced at this time.
