Shakeup in State House Is Imminent Because of the Lack of Office Space Supreme Court Gives the Board Authority to Act. TIMES' DIKEAl" AT TI1K STATE CAl'lTAI. Indianapolis, Ind., July 24. A shakeup at the state house Is about to take place, according to present indications. in the re-arrangement of the rooms of some of tlu state officers. The state house is badly crowded and there is not enough room as the matter stands at present, to accommodate all of the of fices. When the state 'house was built twenty years ago it was one of the marvels of the state, and everybody believed at that time that it was big enough to hold all of the offices that the state of Indiana would ever have if it lasted a million years. But the state is not yet a million years old, but the state house is not large enough to hold all of the offices. Roomn Unequally Divided. It has for two or three years been a mystery why some of the officers were alloted so much room, however, while ! others are kept in cramped quarters And this is one of the situations that is about to be cleared up. For in stance, the Indiana railroad commission occupies five rooms, three of them being fine large ones and two small ones. All are on the second floor and are among the very best rooms in the building. The railroad commission is about to lose two or three of these om 1 a few weeks ago the supreme court decided that the board composed of the governor, the secretary of state and the auditor of btate not only has the authority to appoint the custodian of the state house and the engineer, but it also has charge of the entire building and grounds. This Is taken to mean that the board has right to assign the rooms to the various offices and de partments, and the board is about to take up this matter. As soon as it does this the howl will go up. ' Fee-ta AVlll lie Cramped. sion can get along with two rooms as well as with five. At present it has lare rom for Chairman Wood, a large ( room for the other two commission ers and a consultation room. The board will probably also take one from State Statistician J. L. Peetz. He has two big rooms, one of which is divided into two rooms by a low parti tion, thus giving him three rooms. The members of the board seem to be of the opinion that they can take away one room and give it to the state tax board. The room occupied by the state tax board would then be added to the office of the auditor of state, who is badly crowded In the six rooms that he now occupies. The state board of charities also has three rooms, and it is believed that the board will take one away from it. It Is believed this could be done without , causing any injury to the charity board business. There has been for a long time com- i ment on the fact that the governor's office occupies four rooms. The governor's private office is a large room that was intended in the first place as the governor's reception room. Just how to re-arrange things to take care of the office force is the only thing that keeps the governor from giving up one of his rooms to make room for some one else. : Xo LodKitiK Room for Judiren. Another things the state house board may consider also is the fact that some of the supreme and appellate court : judges have sleeping ajiartments in their offices. This has always been the practice, and it is said that some members of the board question their right j to live in the state house. Much com-j ment has been heard from time to : time for years that the judges ought to live downtown and pay room rent like other people. The state board of health is sorely in need of more room. It now exists in two little rooms, and in it the board does more Dusiness in a ween man j some of the other offices do in a year, i Kvening church service at 7:45 p. m.

Every adult of this church who Is not attending this or some other class is very much desired in it. Don't wait for a personal invitation. Some have stayed away because they believed a personal invitation was necessary and because of the. red tape, usual

Certain improved income bearing property in a nearby city must be sacrificed at once. It is easily worth $10,003.
