TIMES' BUREAU AT STATE CAPITAL. INDIANAPOLIS. InJ.. Sept 8. And now comei th 6tory that W. H. O'Brien of Lawrenceburg will not be the neit Democratic state chairman. It is now aid that eome of the over-zealou eoti have been using his name as a possibility for 'state chairman without his consent and that when they talked about him for the Job they were talking through their respective hats. O'Brien has been in the position of a man with too many friends. One crowd that would like to see Dale J. Crittenberger, of Anderson, nominated for governor, has been professing undying devotion to O'Brien, because they felt that they could depend on him to be the friend of Crittenberger as a candidate for the nomination. Friends of Charles A. Oreathouse, the present Democratic state chairman, also have been boosting O'Brien on the theory that the Interests of Greathouse as a candidate for the nomination for governor demanded that -O'Brien be state chairman. So, O'Brien as state chairman would be between two fires. He does not .propose to get In that position, so it is now said on what looks like good authority, neither does he intend to get his feet wet in the political puddle. A man who ought to know says positively that O'Brien will not accept th state chairmanship under any circumstances. They are now talking about others for the Job. Dr. F. A. Bolser of Newcastle, who Is a regular dickens in his home county politics, is mentioned. So Is Mayor Ben Bosse of Evansville. and so also is Charles J. Murphy of this city and Brock, former member of the

public safety commission. There Is good reason to believe that neither

James R. Fleming of Portland, nor Walter S. Chambers, of Newcastle, will

stand for the place, although there has been much talk about them.

Bolser is not very well known over

the state, and this fact stands in his way as a possibility for state chairman. He served a term as state veterinarian and is said to be a good one in that line. Murphy Is well known over the state. In fact. It Is pointed out here that he is too well known to be a successful state chairman at this time. He quit the public service commission under fire and at a time when he was being severely criticised for some of his doings there. Most of the political wiseheads here believe that Murphy will not try for the state chairmanship

under these circumstances, for he would at once become the target for a fine lot of assorted red Are. Bosse Is altogether available for state chairman, however, and some persons are saying now that he stands a good chance of landing. One of the qualifications possessed by Bosse which it is said makes him especially well qualified for the place is that he is a rich man and can well afford to hold the job. A state chairman makes many sacrifices in directing the destinies of a big political (party, and unless a man is pretty well fixed he had better not undertake it. But Bosse has been In the political game long enough to know Just what It all means. Bosse is well known all over the state among Democrats, and he should have little trouble in lining up a strong following in case he Jumps in for the chairmanship.

TAMMANY OPENS WAR ON THE GARnML PLAN NEW TORK. Sept. 10. Unexpectedly, and contrary to his announcement that he would have nothing to say as to the campaign Issues before primary day, John F. Hylan. Tammany candidate for Mayor, has fired hia "opening gun", Issuing a long Statement on th socalled Gary school system. Mr. Hylan's statement waa made to twenty-three members of the Parents' School Betterment League, who called at the headquarter of the Democratic Fusion Committee, No. 50 East Fortyeeoond Btreet. in the building where the Judge has his personal headquarters with tho Business Men's League. About the time Mr. Hylan was making his statement. Charles L. Craig, candidate for comptroller on the Tammany ticket, made public a statement discussing the west side track contract, which ha opposed before the board of estimate. It has been known that the school Question and the west side contract were to he two of the chief Issues in the campaign, but it was not expected ither issue would be brought up before primary day. The sudden change In plans was regarded in political circles last night as a result of the hurried conference of Tammany leaders Thursday. "Guarding'" The Schools. Mr. Hylan's statement ran in part: "Tou men and women of the Parents' School Betterment League are to be congratulated for your patriotic service In guarding our public schools against the subtle Influences and encroachments tt those persons and organizations who would inject dangerous dogma into our educational system. I know of no class of persons better qualified to pass judgment upon our schools than the parents of school children. "Ours is. a government of equal opportunity to all. Equality of education Is the foundation on which a government of equal rights and equal opportunity rests. -We have a city of steadily increasing population. Tet. when our schools open next week It will be without the addition of a single new school house to take care of this increase. Money that should have been spent in the construction of new schools hss be?n wasted in a profligate manner upon real estate purchases, -which are useless to the city, but which have provided enormous profits for private Individuals who are close personal friends cf soma of our high public officials.

Hard On Child. "Our school children are the ones who suffer most as the result of these real estate scandals. In the futile attempt to mt.ke a financial showing to the taxpayers and offset the money wasted in the purchase of useless real estate the present administration has sought to economize on the schools. They have instituted a system which is called the Gary System, the result of which has been to greatly reduce fundamental education and place an added physical strain upon the child. In addition it has imposed great inconvenience in the home. "We must first free the board of education from the political, financial and private influences which now dominate it and which are responsible for this weakening of our educational system. It is a dangerous condition, and a condition which the constitution sought to guard against, which permits our city officials, by the tightening of the purse strings and by the exercise of sinister influence, to dominate the board of education and force the adoption of any particular plan of education, whether it be the Gary system, a Mitchel makeshift or any other plan. "A mayor who lets his appointments to the board of education be influenced by politics or any consideration other than the educational qualifications of appointees is a menace to our free institutions. "How much greater is that menace wen he turns the domination of the board over to private influences which seek to impose their own theories of education upon the people! Mayor aita Rockefeller. Mitchel has gone further. His aprointees have been pledged to accept the theories of the Rockefeller Foundation. A man who would agree to make such a pledge- as a condition of his appointment is unfit to direct the education of our children.

"The next mayor of New Tork will J

have tne appointment of a new board of education consisting of seven commissioners. I can think of no greater menace to the people of this city than to have these seven commissioners appointed at the dictation of and wholly subservient to the Kockpfeiler Foundation or other private influence. "Tou have asked me if I favored vocational training in the schools. I do. But it must in no way interfere or take the place of those fundamentals which in the past have formed the groundwork of education which has fitted our boys and girls to take advantage of those opportunities that come only to the sons and daughters of America."

Andrew Wagner came from Fort , N J., on a furlough to visit his parents. Mr. and Mrs. Nick 'Wajrner. Andrew enlisted last April and this is his first trip home. Needless to say his parents ani

friends were surprised and delighted to see him. Mr. and Mrs Tesmer and children of Chicago, spent Sunday in Highland, the guests of Mr. and Mrs. John Miller. Mrs. D. R. Archer returned from a vitit with relatives in Chicago, Friday. Patriotic services were held in the Congregational church, Sunday evening. The pastor, Rev. Mahan of Chicago, gave a rlendid talk on "Freedom," which stirred the hearts of all who heard him. Miss Emily Katzbach gave a reading; the Sunday school children sang "The Star Spangled Banner," and the songs

by the congregation and the choir, accompanied by Miss Ruth Sparks, were very suitable to the occasion. Special music was also furnished by Mr. and Mrs. C. M. Hutchins. Miss Marguerite Werdemann and Miss Bessie Smith.

Hugged Ballplayer Freed in Court After Altercation KOKOMO, IND., Sept. 11. Fursued as a supposed husband, Guy McCool, a hasrhall rlaver. was in oolico court yes

terday as a sequel to his experience of

being hugged on the street by a woman

who revealed herself as Anna Lenhaar snd insisted McCool is her husband who deserted her at Hamilton, O.. and that she loves him ardently. McCool consented to an interview at her home, where her brother said McCool was the husband. An altercation ensued and McCool was arrested on a charge of assault and battery. Judge J. Fred Byers acquitted McCool at the trial and assured the woman it was clearly a case of a "double," as he had known McCool personally fifteen years and of his daily life, and that ui4

der no circumstances had he become or assumed to le the woman's husband.
