House Last Evening Passed
Measure to Benefit Sec
ond Class Cities.
PUBLIC ACCOUNTING BILL
ENACTED Nv THE SENATE YES
TERDAY WAS A REAL REFORM
MEASURE AND is A CREDIT TO
STATE OF INDIANA.
Palladium Bureau,
indianapolis, Mar. 2.


The house passed at last nights
session bill introduced by Senator
Fleming and passed by the senate
providing relief to the school boards
Of cities Of the second class. 1t is
intended to relieve situation that
exists at Fort Wayne and South Bend
sihce South Bend has been showed
up into the second class. Up to two
years ago the law was that cities OF
tho second class could issue school
beads for the erection of school build
inEs up to per cent Of the taxable
valuation of all of the property In
such cities. This was not sufficient,
however, to meet the demands in the
cities. and two years ago bill was
passed intended to give these cities
the right to issue an additional $780,
900 of such bonds. But 1t was found
that the bill contained an error that
made It limit the toal bonded school
debt OF such city to S150.000 instead
of adding $150.00O to the limit of is
sue. Fort Wayne and South Bend
had already far over-reached that lin
1t and as result they were powerless
to issue additional bonds, as had been
intended. This session Fleming in
troduced bill to give the school au-
thorities power to issue bonds to the
limit OF 2 per cent of the taxable val
uation in the city and this is the bill
that passed last night Fleming car
ried the bill through the senate and
Representative Elliott of South Bend
and Representative Roggen of Fort
Wayne worked 1t through the house.
Explains Difficulty.
Roggen explained the difficulty in
Fort Wayne. He said that the present
school debt Of the city is more than
100000 and that unless the bill was
passed the city could not build a
school house in the next ten years.
whereas the city intends to build four
or five schools in that time. He said
II the bill passed it would enable Fort
Wayne to issue an additional 100000
Of bonds.
Elliott explained that the same con-
dition existed at South Bend and that
II the bill passed that city could is
sue probably $15O,O00 more bonds for
schools that are badly needed. The
bill was passed by vote of 81 to 3.
Reform Legislation.
The passage of the public account
ing bill by the senate yesterday, was
the most important piece Of reform
legislation that has been enacted by
the legislature in many years. It will
establish uniform system of book
keeping and accounting in all of the
public offices apd provide for fire.
Quent inspections of all of these Of
fices by state inspectors. This will
eliminate the likelihood Of any crook
edness or graft in public office. The
bill was not political measure 1t
was favored and supported by busi-
ness and commercial organizations all
over the state.

A TREMENDOUS SUCCESS.
Our Skidoo sale has been greater
success than we had dared to hope
The reason is no doubt largely due to
the fact that we never misrepresent
anything. When we say we have cut
the price from $3.50 to S2.63 you are
sure we have done just what we say.
Many people are buying two or

PROVES SELF DEFENSE
J. s. johnson, Webster City Roller
Rink Proprietor Charged With MUIR
derous Assault, Dismissed-victim's
Testimony Largely Responsible.

Special to Times Republican,.
Webster City, April 15.-J. S. john
son, charged with assault with intent
to kill, committed with a hammer Sat
urday night upon the person of Ralph
.Mertz, was discharged by Justice
Knowles late last evening, at the con-
clusion of preliminary hearing
which had lasted all day. The ruling
of the justice caused great surprise,
yet the case of sele defense put up by
the accused was unimpeachable. The
condition of young Mertz, too, had so
much improved that he is able to be
out, and will suffer no serious results
from the assault.
Johnson will be remembered as the
proprietor Of the roller rink, who came
SO near being mobbed here Saturday
night. At the preliminary hearing how
ever, it appeared that johnson was
clearing defending himself from Smith,
the young fellow he had elected from
the rink, and that his striking of
Mertz was actually accidental Mertz' s
testimony on this point was clear and
was probably the means of Johnson's
dismissal. The condition Of the latter
face, which had been badly beaten,
was such as to leave no doubt that he
had been attacked, and the testimony
thruout tended to show that johnson
was acting well within his rights.
