"FRATS" PLAN TEST
OF RIGHTS IN COURT
Students Consider Boards
Attitude HostiIe-Secret
Session Ordered.

Defeated in their initial move to
have the Board of Education lift its
ban on the secret Greek letter So
cieties, the high school students who
have been barred from participating
in school activities because of their
affiliation with these organizations,
made definite plans today to carry the
fraternity war into the courts.
The high school frat" students
have rallied behind Sigma Delta Fra
ternity, which is planning the legal
battle to determine the validity of
the boards rule. ]. Milton Probey,
chairman of the executive committee
of the fraternity, which has chapters
in Central. Western and Mckinley
high schools, announced than an in
junction would be sought in the next
few days to compel the board to re-
inState those high school stdents who
were summarily ruled out of positions
of honor in approved student organ
izations because they held member
ship cards in secret organization.
Parents Said to Approve.
Parents of some of these students.
Mr.. Probey said, have promised to
finance the legal proceedings. A
prominent attorney will be engaged
as counsel for the fraternity.
Fraternity members viewed the ac-
ernoon in referring the fraternity ques-
ton to the committee of the whole for
consideration behind closed doors as
means of temporarily sidestepping
the issue. They are more firmly con-
WINGED than ever that the anti-fra
ternity rule will not be voluntarily
abrogated by the board.
The fraternities will center their
fights in the courts, it is said, over
the ruling of Corporation Counsel
Francis H. Stephens, November 6,
1923, which held that the School
Board can legally only control MEM
bership of it's pupils in organizations.
clubs or societies when membership
is directly connected with the attend
ance of the pupils upon the schools"
Meeting Called Monday.
Leaders in the revolt against the
boards anti-fraternity rule point out
that membership in the secret organ
izations includes persons not attend
ing the public schools, and the schools,
therefore, have no Jurisdiction over
them.
The board has set Monday after
vestigate the fraternity question. The
closed doors, and Capt. Julius I. Pey-
ser and Ernest Greenwood, the two
members who have championed the
fight of the secret societies, gave no.
tice today that they would attend
under protest, unless the investiga-
tion is opened to the public.

NEW YORK, April 1.-Two theories
are being considered by police work
ing to solve the murder of Mack
Passwell, reputed gambler and boot
logger and former coat and suit mer-
chant of st. Louis.
Passwells body. with bullet wounds
in the throat and head and a brick
clutched in one hand was found yes
terday in a basement areaway of a
Park avenue apartment house.
The first theory was built around
the report that Passwell was a dealer
in sacramental wines and that he was
killed by bandits. Yesterday was a
Jewish holiday, and it is thought his
murderers might have believed he
had large sums of money with him.
The reports that he was not a le-
gitimate dealer in sacramental wines,
but a bootlegger, have given rise to
the second theory that he may have
been killed in a liquor feud.

Who feels crying need for

was approved by the board last
week

"Citizens Of north Indianapolis

hei president of the North Indian
ape As Civic Association, told the
board and announced that the or
ganization would file a remonstrance
against the bond issue for the park
before the State tax board within
the next few days.
Shepherd and a delegation Of bust.
ness men sought to route Clifton st.
farther north than the park board
contemplates last week. The board
refused to make decision until 1t
had been determined whether the
bond issue for the park would be
legalized.
Tax Board Doubt
Members of the board expressed
doubt as to whether the State tax
board would authorize the issue.
Mayor Shank's proposal was to lease
the park to the Woodstock Country
