FROM P[UMS

Indianapolis. Ind. Dec. 21.-An edu-
xcational test is~to he applied to all APP
plicants for appointments In the house
and senate at the coming session of the
Legislature. This was decided on at
meeting of the house plumber commit
tee and also at meeting Of the SEN
ate plumber committee yesterday aft
ernoon. The senate committee, con-
sisting of Senators L. p. Harlan of In
dianapolis; w. A. Yarling Of Shelby
Vile and James ]. Netterville of An
derson. decided that all applicants must
make their applications in their own
handwriting and send them to Senator
Harlan, who Is chairman of the COM
mittee. Any applicant that cannot
write a legible hand and who does not
show by his application that he Is COM
petent cannot get an appointment as q
clerk The qualifications for a door
keeper, however, are not so rigid.
The house committee. consisting Of
one member from each congressional
district. decided that no man scan be
appointed to a clerkship in the house
unless he proves that he can write a
clear legible hand, and that he can
|espen and that he understands some-
thing about grammar and punctuation

J. Keagan of Indianapolis. George s.
Billman of Shelbyville, Charles w.
Biddle of Markleville, Joseph F. Boyer
of Terre Haute and George w. Sands of
South Bend, was appointed by the
house plumber committee to ascertain
! the number of employees needed for the
house and to report to the general
Icommittee before the democratic house
caucus.
The members were led to the idea OF
Eapplying an educational test to appli-
Ecants for clerkships by the experience
Iof the legislature two years ago. At
that session some men were appointed
to important clerkships who could
scarcely write their own names and
who could not spell the word it cor
rectly without prompting. 1t will be
remembered that Governor Marshall
refused to accept one bill passed by the
| legislature because II was so badly
written and mis-spelled that he could
| not make it out. The work had to be
done over again. 1t will also be re-
membered that when the Proctor IL
quor regulation bill was copied by a
| clerk liquor" was spelled 'liker' and
house" was spelled horse" The men,
bers say there will be none of that at
| this session.

MURDER
MYSTERIES
RECALLED

summer of that year another body was
found In the woods near the scene of
last Tuesdays discovery.
Buried Under House.
Three years ago the body of an .un-
known man was found in the NJ. G.
sand pit just south of Miller. Several
years ago Miller people were startled
when the skeleton of a man was found
under a. Lake avenue home. 1t was
found later that the victim was a
Jewish peddler who left Crown Point
one night In the late seventies in COM
pany with a stranger He arrived in
Miller but suddenly dropped out of
sight 1t is believed that the strangers
murdered the man for his money.
Tell Black Tales.
In the earlier days the dune wilder
ness and the isolation of the sand dune
company made 1t a favored retreat OF
Chicago criminals.
Old-timers In the country whose
memory extends back to the fifties, can
tell stories Of the men who went into
the sand dunes that covered the pres
ent site of Gary and Indiana Harbor
and who were never heard of after
wards.
Two years ago Judge William West
ergren and employees of a sand com
pany found a skeleton near an old road
house on the Detroit Chicago stage
coach trail. It probably was the bones
of an early-day victim.
A Graveyard Mystery.
Probably the most mysterious hap
pening In the dune district was In the
spring of 1908. when an East Gary man
was found decapitated in the dune
woods south of Miller.
The sexton in digging his grave at
East Gary, then known as Lake Sta
ton, discovered the unconfflned body
Of a beautifurgirl a few feet below the
ground. 1t is believed that the girl
was murdered on a passenger train
and that her slayers took her to the
lonely graveyard In the dead of night
