SHAMELESS USE OF MONEY.
Further Evidence i'm the stOner-Cre-
gOr Contest.

The Senate elections committee had little
time to devote to the Stoner-Cregor con-
tested election case yesterday, as it was
after o'clock when the Senate adjourned.
Five witnesses and two dispositions were
examined, however, before o'clock and the
committee, after ascertaning that it would
be impossible to do anything to-day de-
cded to meet again Monday afternoon and
continue in session all night, if need be, in
order to conclude the hearing of testimony
Frank M. Miller, of 70S East Twenty-sev-
enth street, Indianapolis, said he had been
polltaker during the last election and had
visited the home of John Frey, who testi-
fed last week that he lived in Indianap-
oils and Greenfield and voted in the latter
place. He said Frey refused to be entered
on the poll book. as he claimed Greenfield
as his home and said he intended TO vote
there
Emanuel Dunwoodey, a Rushville Demo-
crat, said that Republican worker offered
him 81 to vote the Republican ticket and
that he accepted the offer and marked the
ballot over an envelope" Senator Gilbert at
this point said he thought such things We're
disgraceful in either party, and that some
step should be taken to stop it. He asked
Dunwoodey if he knew that the law allowed
him to collect $500 from the man who bought
his vote. The witness said he did not, but
that he was glad to receive the informa-
ton
John Glore, Democrat, said that money"
was the influence which made him tempOrar-
lily a Republican last November. lie met
a man on the street and was offered 81
to vote the Republican ticket with an en-
velope." He accepted and got the money.
Howard Glore, Democrat, told substantial
ly the same story.
Homer Lynes said that man came to his
house the night before election and asked
him to vote the Republican ticket. He told
him he would not do SO, as he was a Demo-
crat. The man then offered to pay him 50.
whereat he said he would consider the mat
ter over night. He surrendered next day and
got the money Senator Gilbert extracted the
testimony from him that he had served
terms in the Illinois, Indiana and Ohio peni-
tentiaries for forgery in the first instance,
and grand larceny in the last two.
The two dispositions We're from Mrs. Annie
Hafner and Mrs. Margaret Hughes, both or

against either candidate, were extremely
funny as read by Captain Black Mrs. Half
ner said she was talking to Mrs. Hughes in
her back yard on election day and saw
Stoner take his hand from his pocket and
stability dressed. She didn't know that he
handed the man anything but at the time
she saw the action she shook her head wise
ly and said: There's another vote bought,
Mrs. Hafner. It's too bad both sides are up
to such skullduggery." She afterward adj
mitted that she said this in fun and not be-
cause she saw anything of suspicious
character Mrs. Hughes's testimony was
largely to the effect that she didn't see
between them through which she could not

COST OF HIGH-SCHOOL REPAIRS
Estimated at $22,OOO-SchOOI Board
ExOneIates Prof. Woodruff.

At a meeting of the School Board last
night Mr.. Scott, of the committee on build
ings and grounds, made report on altera-
tions and repairs that are needed at the
High School and the Industrial Training
School. 1t is estimated $4,000 will be re-
quired at the High School alone. With
this amount expended relief would be af-
forded at the Industrial Training School,
as with more room in the High School some
departments could be transferred to it from
the former In the present condition of
the boards finances Mr.. Scott regarded it
as impossible TO do what is needed at both,
but urged that something be done the COM
ing summer at the High School The COM
mittee was instructed TO go into the sub
ject very carefully and report to the board
later just what it would recommend. In
this connection Mr.. Baker submitted a petit
ton signed by many colored people of
North indianapolis, asking for a brick
school building there with all departments
together. 1t was represented that the pres
enr school is too small. The petition was
referred to the committee.
A report was submitted by the special
committee that investigated charges that
Professor woodruff was interested in
various tablets and charts used in the
schools and that unQue influence was
brought TO bear 10 require students to pur-
chase them The committee found the
charges groundless. Mr.. Baker went so far
as to say that he thought Professor Wood
ruff should be commended for endeaVoring
TO invent better articles for use in the
schools. 1t was shown that while Professor
Woodruff had copyrighted certain tablets
and charts and received royalty on sales,
the royalty did not apply TO Indianapolis
as they are not on sale here President
Maxwell expressed the hope that the news
papers would give much prominence 10
the fact that Professor Woodruff had been
ex0nerated as they had to the charges
against him. AS a result of the subject hav-
ing come up the board decided to have Il
committee prepare specifications for tab
let's. copyrfghting the design, signify for
what period they would be used and desig-
nate that only such tablets as met the
specifications should be used. Mr.. Baker
argued that competition would protect the
purchasers by regulating the price TO what
was reasonable.

The COMPANY'S SUPERIORITY

The Union Trust Company does all kinds
of business in the management of property
that an individual can do Besides its great
financial ability and responsibility, il can
give the very best service for the following,
among other reasons:
THE TRUST COMPANY is more cautions
than the individual, moves more safely and
has an invaluable reputation which it's man
ayers are ever jealous to protect and en-
nance.
THE TRUST COMPANY'S acts are open
and not secret. They are always particle
p&ted in by several, and thereby dishonesty
Is made impossible.
THE TRUST COMPANY'S charges are
more reasonable than those of the ipdivid-
tai, for 1t has in its own Office and law de-
partment every facility for performing many
duties that ordinarily would have to be
given out to others at heavy expense to the
uuSt.
THE TRUST COMPANY'S affairs are en-
tirely removed from every species of specu-
lation. All investments are made by its
finance committee, thus enlisting the COM
bined wisdom, experience and capacity of
several successful men.
THE TRUST COMPANY keeps a clear
and complete record of everything it does.

ATTORNEY GENERALS BRIEF
Filed Yesterday in the Case of Isom
Flick.

Does the criminal statute of limitation
run until a warrant issues on an indict-
ment?" is the question discussed in brief
filed by the attorney general yesterday in
the petition for a rehearing in the case of
Isom Flick against the State of Indiana,
brought up from the Orange Circuit Court
and pending in the Appellate Court The
contention of the State is that when the
indictment is made the statute of limita
ton ceases to operate, even though the
clerk may fail or refuse to issue the war
rant for the arrest of the defendant within
the two years.
IF a clerk of the court wished to pro-
tect a friend" said Merrill MOores, deputy
attorney general, ''he might place the in
dictment in his pocket and refuse to serve
it, If the law runs until the warrant Is
served his efforts to save his friend would
be successful. The theory of lawyers has
been that if the indictment was maze
within two years that was sufficient, even
if the serving Of the warrant were delayed.
The court however has not so decided"
a brief has also been filed i'll the case of
Frank ID. Blue against Fannie M Beach ct
al, from the Nigo Circuit Court. This is
the vaccination case" 1t is one of the
cases that the old Supreme Court failed
to decide. In 1t, Attorney General Taylor
explained, is involved the question of the
Legislatures right to delegate certain pow
ers to boards of health. In this case 1t was
cOntended that when boards were permitted
to make rules prohibiting pupils of the
schools from attending who had not been
Vaccinated the Legislature virtually dele
gated to them powers to make laws, right
they could not exercise under the preten-
sion of exercising police powers. The OPP
poste view is taken by the State, and many
authorities are cited in the brief to disprove
this theory
