COURT ACTION TO
SETTLE DISPUTE
OF WATER POWER
Case Closed Wednesday After
noon by Judge MontgOm-
ery-Action Pending.

Argument in the case Of manu-
facturers along the ST Joseph river
VS.. the Indiana and Michigan Elec-
tric Co. was heard Wednesday by
Judge Montgomery in superior court
and the case closed pending the ac-
tion of the court TO decide the
rights of the company TO use wa
ter from the race. Whether the in
junction asked by the plaintiffs 70
prevent the electric company from
using water from the race viii be
made permanent Will be decided
within the week, il is thought.
Given Right.
The electric company in its argu-
ment pointed out that when the
land along the river was plotted and
sold in 1916 al factories were given
the right 10 use of water from the
race. 1t further declared that i'm
aSmuch as the water wa,
used only for the condensation oi
steam, il would not materially af-
feet the volume of water in the
stream. It also states that a build
ing operation valued at $25,00C
would be rendered valueless if the
injunction forbidding It 10 use the
stream is granted.
The plaintiffs claim that the com
pany in cutting into the race will
decrease the volume of water TO such
an extent that their water power
viii be materially decreased.

CITIZENS ANGRY
WHEN THEY LEARN
KLINE'S POSITION
Sends Officers to Michigan
Fight While Grocery
Burns Here.

Where does Chief Of Police Kline
obtain the authority for sending
members OF the South Bend police
department out Of town for duty at
boxing exhibition
And whether or not the chief has
this authority, why should not the
members Of the department who are
sent out OF the city for duty not
be paid for their services?
And IL they are not paid. what
does Chief Kline give for their nom
payment?
And what explanation does the
South Bend police head offer for
leaving the city unprotected
And why does the chief Of police
ask the board OF public safety for
additional patrolment?
The foregoing questions were be-
ing asked by prominent citizens
Wednesday night when it became
generally known that eight mem
bers OF the South Bend police de-
partment were recently sent 10 Ben
ton Harbor, Mich. TO do special
duty during a boxing exhibition.
Members of the department who
were detailed for 81 ecial duty at the
boxing exhibition, which took place
not only outside OF South Ben's cor
porate limits. but even outside the
state of Indiana, say that they have
received no special pay for their
services.
1t was during the absence OF the
eight members OF the department
that the Whiteman Bros. wholesale
grocery fire occurred. he police
department was handicapped by a
shortage OF men. and the crowds
were kept away from the fire with
great difficulty II was almost next
TO impossible 20 keep the streets
near the burning building free from
automobiles. This necessarily hamp-
cred the work Of the fire depart
ment.
This matter should be brought
20 the attention of the board OF
safety and the mayor" declared one
prominent citizen Wednesday night.
IF the city is 10 be left unprotected
merely in order that protection be
given a boxing exhibition in a city
entirely outside OF Indiana. the Citi-
zens of South Bend should know
the reason The taxpayers who are
paying the salary OF the members
of the police department still have
some rights.
II is reported that Mayor Car
sons hired man will send ten Off

The most convincing argument
against the measure according TO
the speaker is the method of taxa
tion and distribution. Under the
provisions Of the Smith Towner
bill" said the philosophy head. "a
state like Mississippi would furnish
$14S 600 70 support the projected
department OF education, and In re-
turn IL would receive $2,ll5.000 for
the maintainance of its school sys-

"CorrespOndingly," continued the

tion. Statistics of opportionment
mapped out by the bill, shows that
the southern states would gain ap-
proXimately IS millions, annually.
In connection with these facts. II IS
interesting 10 note that Hoke Smith.

THAT certain abuses OF our edu-
cational system. must soon be eradi-
Gated. cannot be denied. We must
admit that eight percent OF our
population is illiterate, that 1850
public schools were forced 20 close
last year, because OF shortage or
teachers. and that there will be
1000 less normal school graduates
this year than there were In 1918.
Yet we do not have 20 subscribe 70
the remedy urged by the advocates
OF the Smith Towner bill"
object is Absurd.
II is absurd that federal legisla-
tion will cope with the teacher
shortage. and bring about higher
pay. OF the hundred million dol
lars apr ropriation contemplated by
the bill. half this amount will 60 %
add 10 teachers salaries. There
are. however about 100000 school
teachers throughout this country.
