Get Sleuths into Poker Game

. On January 27 County Auditor Bow

man .will make the final distribution of the taxes from the December nettle-

ment of 1912 of the school funds. The distribution includes not only local

and state tuition and all other funds having been paid over December 29,

1912.

The distribution per capita in Wayne

county during the past year was $2.64

and a fraction while during the pre-

ceedlng year it was $2.63 and a frac

tion. This increase, according to the report of the auditor, does not show

tne amount which should come to

Wayne county schools. Richmond has considerable taxable property and few children in proportion to other cities. In the entire county at the last school census there were only $10,273 children. By taxation the levy made by the state, raised $22,385.81 in Wayne county. In addition to this Wayne county collected $4,101.81 from the common school fund making a total of $26,487.61 sent to the state from Wayne county. Bill Pending. Out of the $26,487.61 sent to the irtate only $19,826.89 was received as the present plan of distributing the funds by the state to the counties in proportion of their school children. By the bill before the state' legislature known as the Terre Haute plan which provides that the state school funds hall be distributed In proportion to the length of the school sessions and the attendance record of the scholars, Wfcyne county will gain approximately $14,000 should the bill become a law. All counties north of the National road sve-ln favor of this law while the counties In the southern part of the state are opposed to it as the lengtn of their school sessions are not as long as those of the northern school. The sum of $60,767.47 will be distributed to the accounts of local tuition and $19,826.29 will be distributed to the account of common school revenue or state tuition to the fifteen townships and seven school corporations.

CITY TO STEP IN THE THIRD CLASS But Government of Third Class Cities Not Approved of in Richmond.

TRY TO AMEND LAW

So Council Will Be Shorn of Its Power to Dispose of Board of Works.

A bill has been introduced at the present session of the state legislature which gives option to cities of the third class to have a commission form of government which will effect condi

tions in this city if passed. Cities of ! the third class compose all cities in I the state with a population of more than 20.000 and less than S3.0C0. Af-' ter January 1. 1914 Richmond will be ' considered a third cUsa city at which j time the present city administration's i term expires. j In 1909 the legislature passed an act abolishing the following offices in cit-; ies of the third class, the board of public works, the city comptroller and the ' city judge unless council establishes ! such offices. Unless council provides a board, and creates the office of comp-1 troller the work of the comptroller must be done by the city clerk, while the work now done by the board must j be taken over by a special committee composed of three members of the 1 council, who would receive an addition- j al salary of not more than $300. I If the board of works is not established. the council shall also provide a j board of public safety, consisting of three members, having charge of the j fire department, and the police depart-1 ment, where a Metropolitan force is ! not maintained. The members of the , board of safety are not to receive a i

salary exceeding $150 per annum. Before Richmond becomes a third class city there is a probability that

some law will be passed by the present legislature making it optional with cities to establish a commission form of government, but fn the event this law is not enacted there are a number of Richmond city officials who believe the present legislature should radically amend the existing law providing for the, government of third class cities so that cities of this class shall have the same form of government now provided for fourth class cities, because they believe that it is unwise to give councils of third class municipalities the power to usurp the executive functions in addition to the legislative function they now enjoy. Judge Becker of Hammond. Ind.. and several officials in other cities which will become cities of the third class after this year are preparing a bill providing that all cities now In the fourth class but which will enter the third class after this year, shall retain the fourth class form of government.

MORGAN'S PARTNER j IS WITNESS TODAY H. P. Davison Says that Interlocking Directories Benefit Country.

MRS. ALICE YEAGER AND MRS. DORA BOYER. NEW YORK, Jan. 24. On the unique ruling of Magistrate Corrigan that the women did not have to persuade the detectives to go to the gambling house. Mrs. Alice Yeager, wife of a prominent business man. and Mrs. Dora Boyer. were discharged after they had been arrested for introducing two detectives into a fashionable gaming house, run for the pleasure of wealthy men and women. The place was called to the notice of the police by two women, one of whom, the police say, had lost $14.000 at poker.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24. The control of many banks through interlocking directories was called a benefit to the country by H. P. Davison, of the firm of J. P. Morgan and company, and an Increase was predicted In the concentration of banks unless sound banking laws be established during his testimony before the Pujo money trust investigating committee today. Davison denied that the control of banks through an ownership of a majority of stock represented a control of the ban's conduct. J. J. Hill, the railroad king, put in an appearance before the committee today. He entered the committee room while Davison was on the stand and took a seat directly In front of the chairman. Counsel Untermeyer questioned Davison, who said a law prohibiting an interlocking directory would be unfortunate as the experience of a man serving on the board of directors of

more than one bank .was more valu

able than that of a man serving in a single bank. He said he would draw the line on interlocking directorates where the boards of two banks are dominated by the same factors. Untermeyer inquired whether Dav-

ison thought bonds should be offered to stockholders generally as were

stocks of a company.'

"I think it would kill the market on

bonds to offer to sell them generally to stockholders," replied Davison. He also declared against competitive bidding in the sale of bonds. He said it was a bad practice. Davison gave out a statement in which he declared that the money trust investigation was futile and that no such control as has been assumed really exists.
