phatically-that he had not pass
ed on the question of forms" in
his opinion to the state superin-
tendent. This opinion he pointed
out merely covered certain ques-
tions asked of him by the super
intendent one of which was as to
whether or not the new budged
law applied to district of the first
class to which he had replied in
the affirmative.
superintendent Churhill who
yesterday stated that the forms
required by the new budget law
were now in the hands of the
printer today explained that these

port Says; More
Deputies Needed

Biting charges that county and
city officers are 'impotent" and
doing nothing" which we're voci-
ierously preferred by county Judge
W. M. Bushey in a communica-
ton recently addressed to the NOR
ming paper, were rather forcefully
knocked into the proverbial cooked
hat this morning when the Marion
county grand jury, reporting an
aprObe instigated by Judge Geor-
ge c. Bingham, declared that "the
prohibition law is being enforced
BY the peace officers in as eff
cient a manner as the means aJ
their command will permit" F."
In bis exhaustive treatise on
The subject of prohibition and his
attack on the peace officers of the
county, Judge Bushey declared
that the peace officers has surely
pleased the bootleggers and their
customers exceedingly WILL" The
grand jury, investigating thoroug-
ly, seemed to have found the facts
to be different. Its report says in
part:
We examined and inquired in
TO conditions with respect to the
enforcement of the prohibition law
and from our examinations and
mQulsition we find that the prohi-
DltiOn law is being enforced by
Inc peace officers of the county
IN as an efficient manner as the
means at their disposal will per-
mil, but owing to the small num-
Der Of officers available for the
purpose, the prohibition law is not
nelns enforced to the degree of
effectiveness that it should.
we therefore, recommnd that
proper authority Immediately Sec
ufe the services of two additional
ueputy sheriffs to be delegated
solely to the enforcement of the
prohibition law"

wealthy bachelor named Adler. Mar
riage advertisements were distributed
to the leading newspapers throughout
Switzerland eXtolling the virtues of
Adler, referring to his large fortune
and adding that he wanted a pretty
wife, without a dowry.
The unfortunate victim, after being
flooded with letters asking for a meet
ing place to be arranged, was forced
to publish Il notice in the newspapers
stating that he was not the author of
the advertisements and, further, that
he never intends to marry. Adler, in
the meantime, has made a hurried re-
treat to a small mountain resort in or
der to escape from his fair admirers,
