PERU RESIDENTS
SPLIT ON FLOOD
PREVENTION PLAN
Court Actions viii Be Called
for Healing This Week
Civic Clubs Take Hand.
By United Press

By United Press
PERU, March 13.-With the Legs
lature adjourned, people Of Peru are
starting to work in earnest on food
prevention plans that have been in
process of formulation since the dis
astrous flood of 1913. During the leg
islative session a bill was introduced
at the request of opponents of flood
prevention TO repeal a special meas
ure enacted two years ago granting
power to organize a flood district and
build flood walls with the proceeds of
tax levies. TO be distributed over pc
Rod of thirty years.
The Legislature refused TO pass this
bill. The situation has been pending
in the civil courts. Hearings are set
for this week on the legal and en-
cheering phases OF the problem, and
all Peru is awaiting the outcome of
the case.
The sentiment of business and man.
ufacturing interests is that the town
will not prosper as long as there is
any threat OF flood damage. Factories
will not come here, they say, unless
the homes of the workers can be pro-
tected against high waters. Among
the leaders in the group advocating
flood prevention are Mark P. Boone,
president of The Rotary Club; John w.
Bossard, president of the Kiwanis
Club, and Harry 8. Fox, head Of the
manufacturers organization.

CHARGES AGAINST
MUNC|E MEN FAIL
TO EXCITE CITY
Accused Officials Say Attack
Is Result Of Strict Law
Enforcement.
BY United Press


MUNCIE. Ind, March 13,-Muncie
in the last few years has grown so &C
customed to Investigations, charges
and trials of it's public officials that
the latest, the action filed at Indian
apelis by John Fox and Ida Holcomb,
charging police officials and politicians
with perversion of office and failure
to uphold the law, has thus far caused
only mild ripple of excitement.
It was common knowledge that Fed
eral officials We're in the city inves-
tigating alleged unlawful conditions
here and gossip had long mentioned
number of prominent officials as.being
under investigation. The concensus
of opinion is that the charges filed
Monday We're only the forerunner Of
possible Federal action.
The several officials and politicians
named in the complaint discussed the
action freely but all declared they
would be able to vindicate themselves
when the time comes.
Harry Hoffman, sheriff, who learned
of the charges first when the United
Press story was read to him Monday,
expected to be arrested at once and
said that he would be able to give
bond.
Chief of Police Van Benbow, refused
to discuss the case and appeared to
regret the publicity given it. Ira
Rooms, day police captain, asserted
the charges were Simply an attempt to
get even" for the rigid law enforce
ment program now being exercised in
Muncie.
John Hampton, Republican city
chairman, declared the charges, so far
as his knowledge went, were without
foundation. Van Ogle, county prose
cutor, refrained from making any
statement and Billy" Williams,
county Republican chairman could not
be found to be interviewed.
