about May 29.
1t is said that the charge grew
out Of a newspaper advertisement
stating that Baker, drove a stock
automobile from Cincinnati, Ohio, to
Indianapolis at an average speed Of
54 miles an hour. Baker since has
not been in the city, it Is said The
warrant states that this speed vio-
lates the State law allowing Is miles
an hour in closely built-up residence
districts, 25 miles an hour in town
and villages and 35 miles an hour

took the wheel Of autos and set the
same records which are used as sell
ing points by auto concerns.

final ACTION
TODAY ON BUS
LINE PERMITS
Decision Expected on Some
Applications OF Peoples
Motor Coach Company.

Final action was to be taken this
afternoon by the public service com.
mission on some Of the applications
of the Peoples Motor Coach Com
pany to operate a group Of motor
bsu lines in Indianapolis in compe-
tition with street cars.
Clyde H. Jones, commissioer who
presided over hearings on the petit
tions, completed orders on the COM
pany's applications to operate its
group of four ninety-day lines, but
it was thought improbable the COM
mission would act on petitions for
six beginners lines. Some commits
sioners said they were not ready to
pass on the latter lines.
Those Considered
The ninety-day applications to be
considered comprised the following
routes: New York ST., Central Ave,
Riverside and Brightwood.
It was expected the commission
would deny the application for the
Brightwood route, because it was
shown beyond a doubt that this line
had been operated in conflict with
the bus law.
The beginners lines sought by the
coach company follow:
Park and Carrollton Aves.. Capt.
tol Ave. Meridian St. Meridian St.
and Kenwood Ave-, Madison Ave.
and Churchman Ave.
Strong Opposition
At the hearings on the ninety-day
petitions, which occupied more than
two weeks, strong fight was made
by the Indianapolis Street Railway
Company against the applications.
Colored persons protested the coach
company had excluded their race
from use Of the busses.

Influences Strong
That the influences back OF Bells

COST TEACHER JOB
Argued Evolution Too Much
Outside School, Says
i Successor.

Floyd H. Deem failed to obtain re-
appointment as principal of the
township high school at Oriole, Perry
county, because he talked evolution
rather than taught it in school, ac-
cording to G. w Strassell, the new
principal who will succeed him.
Deem in a letter to Henry Noble
Sherwood, State superintendent of
public instruction, said he had been
dismissed for teaching evolution out
of a textbook, officially prescribed
by the State school board. He ap-
pealed his case to Sherwood to learn,
he said, If an Indiana township
trustee is absolute monarch" over
what shall be taught in public
schools.

that the townspeople of Oriole had
demanded that Deem be refused d

Strassell said. "Deen instead
aroused the people when he argued
evolution versus the Bible before a
group of citizens at the postoffice.
He talked evolution other place in
the town. 1 am not opposed to evo-

Trustee Is Supreme
Sherwood said that the State board
could not interfere He said so ear
as he knows there is nothing in the
State school law to prohibit teach
ing of evolution, but if trustee
wished to discharge a teacher for
that reason, he could do so, or for
any other reason, even a personal
one.
