APPLEBY SAYS HE'S
FOR FEDERAL BONUS

Congressman T. Frank Appleby
today in a telegram to the Evening
NEWS states that he is at a loss to
know where the rumor that he lie
opposed to the five fold compensa-
ton plan started and that despite
this rumor he stands by his declar-
atoms in the primary and general
election that he was in favor of the
bonus plan as advocated by the
American Legion and will fight for
the bill. The telegram follows:
Am at a loss to know where or
why rumor was started that I was
opposed to the five fold compensa-
ton plan for veterans OF the World
War. My position in the primaries
al well as at the general election
was unqualifedly in favor Of the
bonus plan as advocated by the
American Legion. I propose to not
only vote and speak for the bill but
to use every possible effort to secure
Its enactment into law.

CITY MAY VOTE ON new
HALL AVENUE SCHOOL
Continued from page u

The Hall avenue project. however.
which calls for the appropriation OF
$3.50, 000, will be a different matter
although the Board of School Esti-
mate looks favorably upon the move.
The facts of the case as presented
by the members of this board yes
terday disclosed the facts that the
appropriation can be only through a
bodn issue or direct taxation. The
former method. it was told. could
not be considered as the city is
bonded almost to it's limit at this
time. The direct taxation method
will mean either the raising of the
assessed valuation Of the city or the
amount being included in the regu-
lar budget.
The matter, however, will be
. placed in the hands of the aldermen
and will probably be referred to the
finance committee because of the
lack of funds.
1t was mentioned that the raise
in taxes will be almost fifty per cent.
although this amount is not official.
There is little doubt as to the
endorsement of the Board of Alder
men of the high school wing pro-
ject. The money is available and the
additional space needed badly.
bullQlnS, however,, IL started ilIlII1e-
diately, will not be completed or
even for partial use until the new
term in February. This will not re-
lieve the condition which prevails at
this time, and which has the school
authorities entirely baffled as to
how to dispose of the September
influx with every available space
taken up as class rooms at this time.
Although the high school addi-
ton will relieve the situation to a
degree, it will not help the over
crowded conditions in the grade
schools Of the city. and will proba-
bly, make the situation at the gram
mar school even more severe.
The situation as summed up to-
day is that much more additional
class room space is imperative i'm
mediately, that there are no funds
with which to make 1t available.
Members of the Board Of School
Estimate who were present yester-
day were Mayor Wilson, John Wes-
ter John Sofeld. John Sheehy and
Victor Main.

S69,sO0 SUIT AGAINST
ROOSEvELT'S ESTATE
[By The Associated Press.l


HILLSDALE, Ind, June 23.-Mrs.
Emma r. Burkett, who has filed
a claim for $4,000 against the es-
tate of the late Theodore Roosevelt
TO collect a note, which she says the
former president endorsed, today
told the story of the transaction.
Mrs. Burkett claims she met
Roosevelt and a man introduced as
Charles Shunson, who she believed
was a former Rough Rider, during
the Republican national convention
of 1912, and there loaned the money
to Shunson on the note.
The alleged note and will by which
she came into possession of the money
are in the Chemical National bank
of New York.
Attorneys for the defense claim
the signature on the note a forgery.
Shunson, she said, paid her h
interest on the loan until 1917 until
he went to France, and has not been
heard from since.
She said she expected to. go to
Cincinnati to see Mrs. Longworth,
daughter of the former president,
but would not tell the reason for the
visit.
Mrs. Burkett doubted that she
had been duped by a wise man,
claiming that she knew the colonel.
