GARDNER ATTACKS
RECALL OF BONDS
Zimmerman Acts Without
Authority and City Must
Pay Interest.

In the opinion OF former city attor.
ney, A. NJ. Gardner, the Zimmerman
administration had no authority for
its action last July in using the sink.
ing fund of the Municipal light plant
for the purpose of purchasing special
street improvement bonds bearing
per cent interest and the money TAX
en- out of the fund for this purpose
must be replaced, and until replaced
the city must pay the legal 6 per cent
rate of interest on the money it Dor
rowed from the fund. a little more
than $4,000.
AS to the money taken from the city
sinking fund, Mr.. Gardner says that
it must be replaced, but that the city
had the right to use il for the pur
chase of the bonds as the paying off
of a legal obligation of the city.
Mr.. Gardner says the calling in oi
the bonds in November. 1912, was per
fectly legal and that advertising oi
this call was not required by law. II
was only necessary. he stated, to no
tify the interested contractors and
the banks of the call.
This call also provided that 1t was
the intention of the city to pay of
the bonds in question. but that the
city never made an appropriation fol
this purpose. consequently the action
OF the city in using its sinking funds
for this purpose merely constituted q
purchase of the bonds, not the act oi
paying them off and retiring them
Holders of the bonds presented them
at the banks for the purpose of hav
ing them retired. not TO be purchased
by the city as an investment for It's
sinking funds, consequently the whole
transaction was irregular. Mr.. Gard
ner declared.
II is suggested by him that the city
now do what was first proposed las'
spring: authorize new city bond is
sue and transfer this issue to the city
plant sinking fund in exchange fol
the street improvement bonds il nov
holds. and then retire the improve
ment bonds.

Barrett was called the "shooter' at

He passed his chum, Bob Kennedy,

Terrific Shock.
The passengers on the interurban

When the shock came no one was

uses of the injunction against labor

DR. CRAIG ACQUITTED
OF DR. KNABE MURDER
Judge Instructs Jury to Re-
turn Verdict of Not
Guilty.
5 MINUTES TO DECIDE
Accused Man Hears Verdict
Without Show of
Emotion.

SHELBYVILLE. Dec. 9-Dr Will
liam G. Craig, dean of the Indiana
Veterinary college. was today acQuit-
ted of the charge of numbering DR..
Knabe. who was found dead in her
apartment in indianapolis with her
head nearly severed from her body.
Judge Blair of the Shelby circuit
court, instructed the jury to find for
the defendant on the ground that the
state had failed to establish a sufficl-
emily strong case to warrant the trial
proceeding.
The defense did not introduce sin
gle witness, and the Judge sustained
the motion made by the attorneys for
the defense that the jury be instruct
ed to find for acquittal.
Verdict is Popular
The verdict was popular one and
DR.. Craig was the recipient of many
congratulations.
Judge Blair stated that in his Opin-
ion DR.. Craigs attentions to Dr. Knabe
We're those of respect rather than in
fatuation and love.
There is no evidence whatever that
the defense was ever engaged to Miss
Knabe or even contemplated mar
riage," held the court.
That not one of the witnesses who
saw the ''peeper" who looked in the
window of DR.. Knabe's flat, had iden-
titled DR.. Craig as the prowler was
the opinion of the court.
Hear Charge Unmoved.
DR. Craig and his daughter Marian
sat unmoyed after the judge had in
structed the jury to acquit him.
Save for the murmuring of the
voices, the court room was undisturb-
ed. Dr.. Craig would make no state
ment for publication He simply ex-
pressed his gratitude for the treat
ment accorded him by the newspaper
men, and save for slight expression
of satisfaction, he betrayed no emo
tion.
The jury remained out only five
minutes and returned the verdict as
instructed by the court.

(By ]. B. Lew

Washington, Jan. BY a vote of
Sc to 35, the House of Representatives
adopted the amendment to the postof-
fee appropriation bill barring from
the mails letters, circulars, newspa-
pers and periodicals carrying liquor
advertisements.
The above news item clipped from
Wednesdays Atlanta Georgian means
much. very much, for the cause of
temperance in the United States. 1t
may, or may not, become a law. Be-
fore it reaches the president, it may
be negatized by the Senate, if that body
has to consider It. After it reaches
the president. it may command his
veto, if his signature is necessary to
make the act law. If approved by the
president, it may go to the supreme
court on a plea that it is ''unconsti-
tutional," that it is in restraint of
trade that it is "c1ass legislation" or
on some other monstrous plea. Liquor
will fight it, the press, at least a con-
siderable part of the press, that part
whose columns are open, and whose
income is augmented, by the advertis-
ing business of the saloon, will likely
oppose it. Hence, the measure
may meet insurmountable handicap
and fail. But it's passage of the House
by handsome majority as shown
above indicates a growing sentiment
to put under legal ban, an agency that,
fostered by government protection, has
grown to such potential evil as to SER
iously weaken national morals and
vitiate the stream of national life thru
the imperial laws of heredity. To put
it most mildly the use of intoXicants
is classed among the luXuries. Liquors
are taxed as luXuiies. Vast evils grow
out of such use, even when it is in
dulged in in "so-ealled" moderation.
Hence, why should the governmen
foster and abet its use, by making the
mails it's chief avenue of exploitation?
Most of us recall the overthrow of the
Louisiana Lottery. Few people were
hurt by it as compared with the null
titude who are hurt by intoxicants
Nobody was under compulsion to buy
lottery tickets. But in view of its de-
moralizing and corrupting influence on
those who did choose to patronize it,
and in view of the fact that by per-
hitting it to use the mails, to the ex
tent of giving it publicity, the gov
eminent was aiding and abetting it's
work, Congress denied it the privilege
of postoffce publicity. In that act
the lottery system read it's death sem
tence. And if the above amendment,
barring from the mails letters, cir
culars, newspapers and periodicals
carrying liquor advertisements" be-
comes a law, the longest step in tenn
perance reform ever taken will have
been accomplished Even should the
measure fail, it does not mean failure
of the cause it was introduced to sue
coed.

STRONG PROOF OF
WILSON'S GOOD SENSE

President Wilson favors the
adjustment of the inaugural ball This
became known when he sent a letter to
William Corcoran Eustis at Washing
ton, chairman Of the Inauguration COM
mittee, asking him to consider the
feasibility Of emitting it.
Mr.. Wilson's letter follows:
my dear Mr.. Eustis: After taking
counsel with great many persons
and assessing as well as I could gen.
eraI opinion in the matter, I've come to
the conclusion that 1t is my duty to
ask you TO consider the feasibility of
emitting the inaugural ball alto
gether.
"I do this with a great deal of hesi-
tation, because / do not wish to inter-
fere with settled practices or with rea-
sonable expectations of those who usu-
ally go to enjoy the inauguration, but
it has come to wear the aspect of a
sort of public duty, because of the
large indirect expense upon the gov
eminent incidental to it, and because
these balls have ceased TO be neces-
sary to the enjoyment of the visitors.
