Improvised "Fort" Where Bandit Battled Police

INDIANAPOLIS. Sept '5. In order to advise more clearly with Indiana municipalities on the question of carrying out contracts for public improvements, the Indiana State Council of Defense, on motion of Evans Woollen, today addressed a request to the Council Of National Defense asking that a definition of its policy 6n this subject be forwarded at once. . The question arose when City Attorney John McPhee, of Muncie, asked the state council for its advice in reference to the enforcement of an ordinance requiring the elevation of eleven railroad tracks on a street approaching a proposed new school, involving an expense of $75,000 to $100,000. Should Be Deferred. It was the sense of the Indiana Council that all work of this kind not of public necessity be deferred until a more favorable time, and the Muncie attorney will so advise the city council. The Indiana council wants a clear statement from the national council in order that there be no embarrassing conflict. The question of educating 900 telegraphers to be asked of the state for the signal corps of the national army, the importance of which was pointed out by an official communication from the head of this branch of the service, was referred to the educational section of the council. Charles Pox presented a resolution asking that the war department deal with dentists the same as they have

physicians in exempting all undergraduates of dental schools. It was referred to the medical section of the council.
