The scale committee Of the United

mend that the miners ask the opera

wage scale for a period of four years,

convention in Tomlinson Hall, it was
learned definitely today. The report
probably will be made Saturday.
If this proposal succeeds in going
through without amendments from the
floor. it will be presented at the joint
meeting of miners and operators in
Jacksonville, Fla, next month The
radical element among the miners
is expected to demand higher wages
and probably a six-hour day and a
f1ve-day week.
The wage contract will expire at
midnight, March 81. Heretofore it has
been customary to sign contracts COW
ering period of only one year.
The operators are expected to in
sist on lower wages and the usual one.
year contract. Observers, however,
have expressed the belief that the min
ers and operators eventually will agree

BOTH COUNTY AND
STATE CLAIMING
COURTHOUSE SITE
Records Show No Deed Trans
ferred- None Necessary
Says Russell ], Ryan,

Proposed sale of half the courthouse
square by the county commissioners to
obtain funds for a new courthouse was
complicated today by claims that no
title has ever been granted by the
State to the county.
George Cheney, clerk of the State
land department maintained that the
land was still property of the State
despite the passage of law in 1913
giving the county commissioners au-
thority to sell the land with approval
of 10 per cent of the taxpayers.
THE State did give title of that
square by a specific act of dedication
IN 1922" insisted Russell j. Ryan.
county attorney. "A formal deed is
not always necessary to transfer land.
Land is often transferred by in.
heritance without deeds
THE county now owns the land by
the original act, and in 1918 the
legislature passed another act pro
viding the manner IN which the
county can sell il.
At the office of County Recorder
John w. Castor, no title ever has been
recorded.

DRY ORGANIZATIONS
PROTEST AGAINST
HICKEY COURT BILL
Measure May Die in Senate
as Opposition Develops
Elliott Visits RaIston.
BY JOHN CARSON,
Times Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-The
Hickey bin, to create another Federal
judicial circuit in Indiana and con-
fine Judge Anderson's activities to
the southern portion Of the State. is
threatened with death in the Senate.
The Senate committee on judiciary
has net even appointed a special sub
committee to consider the bill. With
Senator Watson opposed TO ii and
Senator Ralston not making a figh.
for the Bill. the measura is being
slowly killed by lack of interest. II
the bill gets TO the floor of the Sen
ate, Indications now are II must do
so through the active interest of
Senator's from other States
Opposition to the bill developed to-
day from the dry organizations. The
Anti-Saloon League forwarded its
protest and dry organizations in the
northern part of the State sent in
statements against the bill. They
contended the measure was designed
to put wet cities In northern Indiana
III that circuit and thus the bill would
lead to "intemperence and lawless-
ness"
Homer Elliott today called on Sena-
tor Ralston and presented protest
against the bill. 1t was Elliott's con.
tention the additional court could not
be proved necessary. Elliott is re-
garded as voicing the sentiment of
Judge Anderson.

THAT on or about Aug. q he did

$4,000 and executed a mortgage at

liceman, without consideration.

THAT in September. 1923, he exc
cuted a general deed of assignment
Of all his property of every kind and
character to the State Savings and
Trust Company for the benefit OF his
creditors"
Upon the foregoing facts your mas
ter concludes that the respondent
should be adjudged a bankrupt" Sher-
idan said.
The report will be submitted to
Judge Anderson for approval. In the
event either party to the case is dis
satisfied with the finding, further ar
gument before Sheridan can be asked.
1t. is the usual custom to grant re-
quests of this character. The right of;
appeal for an argument before Judge
Anderson also is reserved in bank
ruptcy cases and in the event the find
ing is objectional to either party an
appeal can be taken to higher court.
