Of Sister Mary Blanche Of the Sisters OF
Providence, who was killed when she
was struck by a taxi driven by Brown
On Monument Circle April 8, has been
sentenced in Criminal Court at least
three times in the last three years, there
arose today q question as to his age snd
consequently q question as to whether
he should go to the State ReformatOry or
the State Prison
Records at the reformatory, where be
served two sentences, show that he is 20.
He testified in Criminal Court in the
course Of the manslaughter trial, that he
was %, and the jury found this to be
his age. Accordingly, he was sentenced
to serve two to twentyone years In the
State Reformatory.
Complications developed when officials
at the Reformatory declared they were
opposed to accepting him. As a re-
suit, Judge James A. Collins of Criminal
Court has ordered Sheriff Miller to hold
Brown in the Marion Countp jail until
further orders. Meanwhile. a repre-
sentative Of the reformatory Is expected
to come to Indianapolis, obtain the COM
mitment and go to Governor Goodrich
with the request that Brown be trans
ferred to the State Prison.

SHOP EARLIER
LATEST SLOGAN
Christmas Buyers to Be Bene-
flied by Shopping Now.

"shop earlier" IS the advice Of every
retail merchant IN Indianapolis whose
shelves contain a suggestion that Santa
Claus is preparing for his annual visit
The Merchants Association is planning
an unusually intensive campaign In the
interest Of the early Christmas shopping
movement and every effort viii be made
by the retail stores to drive home the
slogan. DO your Christmas shopping
early; do It now"
Every store already is prepared for the
increased holiday trade. Many articles
now carried in stock could not be du-
pIicated before Christmas. The campaign
has a two-fold motive, to give the pur-
chaser an opportunity Of having wider
selection and to avoid over-crOwding In
the last days before Christmas.
There never has been any reason Tor
people waiting until a few days before
Christmas to make Christmas purchases,
Edward A. Kahn, president Of the Mer-
chants Association, said today. Through
early shopping everyone concerned is
benefited.

a charge Of vehicle taking and was SEN
fenced to the reformatory. He had
served a sentence in the reformatory
previously under another name.

was for an indeterlninate period of from
six months TO five years. He served one
year and four months when be was pa
rolled by the prison board.
1t is also stated by the court thar

Penal FARM
Brown should, under the law, now be
treated as a man who has violated his
parole, regardless of whether he goes to
the reformatory or the prison and be
required to serve at least three years be-
fore he is again eligible for parole
Brown was one of the twenty four pris-
oners who escaped from the Marion
County Jail July 3. He was brought back
from oklahoma recently.
Sheriff Miller regards Brown as a dan
gerous prisoner and has asked for addi-
tional guards 70 take him TO whichever
penal institution he may eventually be
committed.
As a result Of his record, Brown could
now under the law be charged with at
least fve offenses-violating his parole
three times, escaping from the penal farm
and escaping from the Marion County
Jail

pleted.

who IS guilty Of corruption, and TO

numerous charges made before the House
Investi eating Committee at New York,
involving corruption OF Shipping Board
employees and persons dealing with the
board.
Colonel GoR took 1t on himself to as
sumo the role OF graft prosecutor, not

Wisconsin Legislature city aldermen and
county supervisors, aud later for five
years was United States district attorney

tions Of a somewhat similar nature.

STATE SCHOOL
AID OF CONCERN
TO EDUCATORS
Vigorous Support to BE Given
a Bill Providing Better
Facilities.
WORD COMES FROM DRIVE

What form the bill to be introduced
In the next session OF the Legislature,
providing for making the State a taxing
unit for school purposes. win take. was
problematicsl today. While II is certain
such q bin VIII be introduced, the only
question that remains now Is how Far the
bill VIII 20.
One OF the main objects Of the educa-
tional drive, sponsored and conducted
By the State Department Of Education,
reports from which are coming in now.
was 20 make the State taxing unit FOR
school purposes. 1t was pointed out dur
ing the drive that under the present
method OF financing school corporations
many townships suffer 70 the increased
prosperity Of others.
For instance, II a county has an IN
usually large number OF large corpora
uons situated therein. the revenues do
rived by the school corporations Is large
HOW COUNTIES
ARE AFFECTED.
IN counties. however. where azricuitnre
is the chief occupation. the revenues ~
celved and apportional to the schools is
necessarily small, thereby placing tho
school corporation IN an embarrassing
position financially.
In townships Of one county the school
corporations Of ono township NAV he bet
ter hDsd financially than a uelghboring
township, thereby lowering the standard
Of education throughout the entire
county.
One method Of aid for these poor town
ships is now available through the pres
ent State aid law. This provides that
IN counties or townships where revenues
are 80 low or where finances have been
depleted 80 as to not allow the corpora
ton 20 complete the school year with
out a deficit, the State may loan an
amount sufficient to complete the year.
STATE SHOULD BE
TAXING UNIT.
This. however. IN the opinion OF school
authorities Of the State, IS not the proper
way to handle school finances. They
contend. as the bin to be introduced in
the assembly will substantiate, that the
State should be the taxing unit for school
purposes, and the State should fix the
levy and decree what amounts shall be
collected IN various communities. as the
needs show.
Vigorous support OF the proposed bill
viii be given by educational authorities
Of Indiana, and a campaign for better
educational facilities Will be made be-
tween now and Jan 8. the time Of CON
veniug Of the regular session CT the
Legislature.
