POT DECENT LAW IN EFFECTJEXT YEAR Information About Vocational Law is Received in Richmond. County Supt. Williams received information from the state supervisor of education which intimated that the vocational training law, providing for the establishment of a county high school would not be put into effect until next year. There are many features about the work which will have to be taken up by the officials of the state department before counties about the stat purchase sites for agricultural hiyfchools as the state will be called upon to furnish a large part of the-necessary funds to finance such institutions in accordance with the law. The commissioners have been contemplating the purchase of the Sutton property west of the city for such a project though no definie action has ever been taken. This property is the most desirable in Wayne county because of the condition of the soil, the number of acres and its locality. The matter will probably be put off until jnext year.

TO ASK CHANGE OF JUDGE FOR TERRY Prosecuting Attorney Says There is Little New Evidence. Prosecuting Attorney Iteller and ProsecuVr Edwards of Union county will ask ahange of judge in the trial of Owen Ten charged with being an accessory in the murder of Marshal Richardson of CSttage Grove last March. Terry was recently iund guilty of j the crime charged against him and Judge Fox granted a new thai on the

grounds that the defendant as not ; uuu 111 11118 lua uc found guilty beyond a reasonable ; summarized as follows: doubt. xj Banks control the men whose trainProsecutor Reller said as near as he iihg and experience would seem to

could learn there was very little new evidence which would change the case as far as the state was concerned. "Now that Judge Fox has granted a new trial on the grounds that the defendant was not proven guilty beyond a. reasonable doubt he would be compelled to grant another new trial on the same grounds if the same evidence were introduced in the next trial, even though the jury might again return a verdict of guilty as in the. first trial" said Prosecutor Reller. Attorney Walter Bossert has secured the assistance of a local attorney to aid him in Terry's defense in the next trial. That the defendant cannot be tried on the charge against him and that the wrong charge has been placed against Terry will be argued by the attorneys for the defense. Terry merely handed his father the gun which the latter used to kill Richardson, it was said. The son had no knowledge that his parent would use the weapon in the manner he did and was walking away from the scene of trouble when the gun was taken from him he tesified. An accessory before the fact must have premeditated the crime with the person who committed it or incite him to do it, according to Terry's attorneys. Judge Fox stated this morning he would appoint another judge to hear the case if petitioned for a change of judge.. "Terry will never go to the penitentiary as long as I am on the bench on the evidence which was introduced at the recent trial" said Judge Fox.

Redemption of Note Issues This provision making the government responsible for the notes which the banks are to issue, violates the principles of economics and contrivenes the experience of the great commercial nation. Reserve The requirement that certain amount must be kept with the new regional reserve banks purely as a reserve will curtail the loaning powers of the absorbing banks. Regional Reserve Banks Will there not naturally and inevitably be competition between the regional reserve banks, competition between the twelve sections of the country and may we not in the need have cash holdings between individual banks added to the competition of section against section, reserve banks against reserve banks. Mortgage Ixans One great need of the country is mortgage or land credit banks but should they not be seperately organized and separately managed institutions.

Edward Morton Used Shoe Knife to Kill Charles Bartle.

(Palladium Spial) JEFFERSOXV1I.1.E. Ind.. Aug. 22. A term in the state prison at Michigan city instead of one in the Indlj ana reformatory located here, was i preferred by Edward Morton. 21. an j inmate of the latter, because it would allow him tobacco, and yesterday af- ; ternoon he committed a cold blooded i murder so that he might bo transferred. His victim was Charles Bartie. 17, an inmate of the reformatory. Morton stole a shoe knife from the shop in the reformatory, and as he and Bartle walked out of the barber shop, drove the weapon to the hilt in his victim's back. When Superin tendent David C. Peyton and Dr. Halstead Murat arrived. Hartle was dead, internal hemorrhage having resulted from his wounds. "I haven't long to live," Morton told the reformatory officials, "and all I want before I die is some tobacco. I couldn't get it here, but I can at Michigan City." There exists considerable doubt regarding Morton's antecedents and their residence. Morton says he is the son of Daniel L,. Coffey. 440 South Pine street, Indianapolis. Morton was sent to the reformatory from Haward county on the charge of petit larceny, July 23. He is supposed to have stolen a bicycle fro ma negro porter in a department store. It is believed by those in charge of the reformatory that Morton is insane. He talked in a rambling fashion of his crime, and its possible consequence to, Superintendent Peyton. "The state can have my insurance, and I'll go up north." said he. "I'll get tobacco and soon get out. Last night I couldn't sleep for thinking about this. I walked all night and bit my nails. Today I stole the shoe knife and killed Bartle. I want my people to have my insurance after I am dead." . Bartle was sentenced from Vigo county last July on the charge of petit larceny. His father ia Henry Bartlefi Monticello ,Ky. Coroner Froman M. Coots and Prosecutor Warren B. Allison are investigating the slaying.
