Expected F1reworks Fizzle
in Stephenson Bail Motion
Defense Attorneys Fail to
Appear at NoblesviIIe as
Adjourned Session of
Court 0pens-Move to
Obtain New Judge Ex-
pected Next Week.
By Blythe Q. Hendricks


JtnIcS SLNTT Correspondent
NOBLESVILLE, Ind. July
22-Expected fireworks in the
case of D. c., Stephenson, Earl
Klinck and Earl Gentry
charged with the murder of
Miss Madge Oberholtzer of In
dianapolis, fizzled here today.
Judge Fred E. Hines convened
Hamilton Circuit Court in an adj
journed session, but defense attor-
neys did not appear to press the
motion filed last week for a rehear-
ing of the petition to admit the de-
PENDANTS to bail, or to make any
other move.
Expect Move Later
However, it is generally under
stood the defense will reopen it's
drive early next week. The attack
is expected to take the form of a
motion for a change of judge on
behalf of Stephenson, similar to the
one which Eph Inman, chief counsel
for the defense, vainly attempted to
present thirty seconds after Judge
Hines had adjourned court until Oc-
tober on July 6.
If Judge Hines should sustain the
motion. it is believed the defense
would follow with a habeas corpus
proceedings on behalf Of Stephenson
before the new judge in an attempt
to get the former Kan leader out Of
Jail where he has been since April "a.
Doubt Legality
State legal forces undoubtedly
would oppose a motion for a change
Of judge at this time, Judge Hines
told Inman on July 6 such mo-
ton could not, in his opinion, be
considered by court in vacation.
There is also a question as to
whether the judge would have the
right to convene court before Octo-
Der after it had been adjourned
Judge Hines indicated that the
adjourned session probably will con.
tinue for about two weeks.

and the women compelled to remaiR
five days in jail.
These wonAen admit their guilt so
why should their husbands be made
to foot the bill?" said Stark. Five
days in Jail isn't long and they will
learn their lesson
Judge Garvin saw different. But
these women may have children some
day and it wouldn't be fair to put
stain upon the children's names IL
it could be avoided" argued the
judge.
The women were arrested by wom-
en- detectives after 1t was alleged
they took wearing apparel from a
downtown store. Both said they
were sorry.

OVER $4,000 GOES
TO COUNTY SCHOOLS

Pine county's share of the
semi-annual apportionment Of the
current state school fund will be
$50. 708.00 based on a total Of
SLIT pupils.
Word to this effect was re-
ceived this week from the state
auditor with the additional in
formation that distribution Of the
fund among the various counties
of the state will be made at an
early date.
Apportionment of the current
state school fund which Is deriv-
ed from the earnings Of the per-
mancnt school fund and the re-
ceipts from the one mill school
tax is made in March and October
of each year and the present
distribution is for the school
period ending July 31st.
The total amount to be distri-
buted is $2,019, 1877 20 based on an
enrolment of 504,630 pupils,
which is a net gain Of 1892 over
the previous year. The appor-
tionment Is on the basis OF $500
per pupil, the same as last 0c-
tober.
Although the basis of appor-
tionment Of the fund was total
Of 504,630 pupils for the school
year the actual total enrolment
in the schools Of the state was
545.956 a net gain Of 1892 over
the previous year. The use Of
the first named figure was be-
cause Of the fact that only this
number of pupilsAttendcd school
the required number Of days.
One Of the outstanding feat
ures Of the school enrolment this
year is the increased regularity
in school attendance over previ-
GUS years. Because Of this fact,
6,483 additional pupils were add
ed to the list entitled to share in
the apportionment although the
net gain in total enrolment over
the previous year was only 1892
pupils.
Distribution Of the current
school fund for the second period
will be made just as soon as the
various county treasurers Of the
state make their November tar
settlements with the state audi
tor.

OurWdshix3teM Letter

Washington, Oct. l4.-Aside
from the debates on routine leg
islative matters it is apparent
that the Congress will have much
to talk about during the winter,
The quarrels in various Govern
ment agencies involve the Pres
ident and the Congress so that
the prospects are bright for a
test of strength between the
Chief Executive and the legisla-
tive body. Already some Of the
Congressional leaders are sound
ing the tocsin.
The question of armament will
undoubtedly be conspicuous in the
debates. Those who have analyz.
ed Mr.. Coolidge's address before
the American Legion at Omaha
feel that he has sounded a warn
ing against increasing appropria-
tons for military purposes. The
President has very skillfully en-.
twined the foreign debt issue
with the aviation controversy
Legislators cannot very well dis
cuss one subject without consid.
ering the corollary.
BY indirection the President
has made known the fact that the
Federal Government cannot con-
sistently appropriate large sums
of money for national defense, es-
pecially for aviation development
and at the same time demand
economy of our foreign debtors.
Those close to the President
feel that his Omaha speech will
provide a problem for those adj
vocating large air fleets. 1t was
pointed out that we cannot ask
the French. Italian and British to
balance our budgets while this
country proceeds to spend huge
sums in developing its defenses.
Apparently the President holds
the opinion that with this coun-
try taking the lead in disarma-
ment the debtor nations will soon
follow in our footsteps. Lessen
ed expenditures for military pur-
poses would allow the French
and others to balance their budg-
cts and thereby pay some of the
indebtedness to this country
within a reasonable number of
years.
These questions will crop up
officially before the converting OF
Congress in December. The
House committee on ways and
means which is charged with the
responsibility of providing rev.
enue will meet next Monday for
the purpose of framing the tax
bill. Secretary Mellon has been
