BRIEFS ASKED
BY COURT IN
SCHOOL MIX-UP
Judge Hay Proposes Joint :
Hearing in Devericks-
Swails Case.

Following arguments on demurrers in
controversy over the office Of the county
superintendent of schools between Lee
E. Swails and Robert K. Devericks,
Judge Linn D. Hay today in Superior
Court, Room ., asked that counsel file
briefs
In quo warranto proceeding brought
by Mr.. Devericks, who claims that he
is legally entitled to be county super
intendent of schools, counsel for Ms
Swails, who is stin being recognized as
superintendent, argued that Mr.. Swails'
demurrer to Mr.. Devericks' suit should
be sustained.
Emsley w. Johnson, counsel for Mr..
Swails, argued that Mr.. Devericks never
was legally selected by the county board
of education and that Mr.. Swails was
legally selected. 1t is in this suit that
the court desires that briefs citing the
law be presented to the court before a
ruling is made
In the mandatory action brought by
Mr.. Swails against County Auditor Leo
X. Fesler to require Fesler to correct"
the records to show Mr. Swails was se-
lected as superintendent instead of Mr..
Devercks, counsel for Mr.. Fesler dis
missed his demurrer to the second para
graph of the complaint and special an
swer, leaving only a general denial
The court suggested both the man.
datOry action and the quo warranto pro-
ceedings be tried at the same time. No
objection was made by counsel to this
suggestion. Claris Adams, former prose-
cutor, represents Mr.. Devericks in the quo
warranto proceedings and Harry HeGS-
rickson, county attorney, represents Mr..
Fesler in the mandate suit of Mr.. Swails.

HEARTS YEARN
FOR MESSAGE
FROM BIG CHIEF
None of Is Applicants Able to
Knock Down Local Post
office Plum.
TIME LONG EXPIRED

| The fifteen applicants for the postmas-
tership of Indianapolis were bordering
| today over a report which filtered back
from Washington through semi official
channels that they will be re-examined by
the civil service commission.
1t was rumored that the long delay in
appointing a Republican successor for
Postmaster Robert e. Springsteen, Demo
craft, is due TO the fact that the civil
service commission certified TO the post
office department the names of three ap-
plicants as having been rated the high
est by the examining inspectors, emitting
the man whom the powers that be have
decided should be appointed. Some Of
| the applicants were wearing out shoes
leather and the patience of telephone
operators trying to find out whether or
not the report Is authentic.
Under the Presidents order the ap-
pointee must be one of the three men re-
ceiving the highest rating.
FOUR ONCE
FAVORABLY MENTIONED.
Four men have been mentioned in the
last four or five months as having the
pole position in the race. From time
to time Robert II. Bryson. city con
troller; Henry Cochrane, former deputy
county treasurer; Robert Akers and
Fred e. Schortemeier, secretary Of the
/ Republican, State committee, have been
On top Of the heap. Because OF his long
experience as a postOffice inspector,
with the instruction of postmasters as
one of his duties, many citizens have
thought that William Cleary. clerk OF
the board of public works, also has a
good chance.
sPRINGsTEEN'S TERM
ENDED LONG AGO.
The term of Postmaster Springsieen ex-
pired early last summer. II was several
weeks before the examination Of april
cants. under President Harding's ex-
ecutive order, was announced. The tif-
teen men sent in their applications aud II
was not until a short time before the
municipal election iu November that the
examining inspectors appeared in the
city They inquired among local ciu-
zens about the qualifications Of the APP
plicants and personally interviewed each
at the Federal building.
Most politicians expected Hoosier
statesmen at Washington to hold the
appointment on until Immediately after
the city election Acting on this theory
friends of the candidates delueed Sen
ators New and Watson and Representa-
tive Merrill Moores with pleas In their
behalf. both IN person and by letter.
Particularly strong efforts were made IN

plicants supposed 80 he most likely 20
