CHOICE OF KEENE
ROUSES PROTEST
Health Board Appointment
Point of Contention.

Bitter opposition to the appointment
Of DR.. T. Victor Keene Of indianapolis
as a Democrat member Of the State
board of health was developing at the
Statehouse today.
Robert Bracken, auditor OF State,
suggested DR.. Keene as a successor
to DR.. Charles B. Kern Of Lafayette
when Governor McCray and Secretary
of State Ed Jackson told Bracken the
appointment would rest with him.
The three compose a committee to
make appointments.
Indications today were that the
Governor and Jackson would retract
their suggestion. Bracken, however,
said he was sure his recommendation
would be approved.
