STATE TEACHERS
SEEK DEATH FOR
SCHOOL POLITICS
Rally in Support of Measure
Which Would Sponsor
More Efficiency.

Undismayed by their failure Of
two years ago. the school teachers
tenure" bill is to be introduced in
the Indiana Legislature within the
next few days.
Prevention of political domination
of schools is the real purpose of the
measure.
Under the provisions Of the pro
posed legislation it would be i'm
possible to remove without cause
teacher who had served more than
three years.
INSTRUMENTATION, failure to comply
with teaching rules and moral
fagrancy are some Of the specific
causes to be incorporated.
An appeal to the county board OF
education could be made by the
teacher after hearing had been
held on the charges.
In cities where the board of cduc5N
ton passed on the charges appeal
could be taken to the State board of
education for decision.
Decision by the board appealed to
would in both cases be final.
Teachers who spo 1t the weekend
in Indianapolis going over the mat.
ter with various members of the
Legislature contend that in some
townships politics played havoc with
their work.
They cite as an illustration the
fact that a Republican township
trustee might be elected to supplant
"a Democrat and that when teach
ers were to be named the trustees
could select those of his political
faith.
1t is expected that the bill will
be fought by many Of the township
trustees.

many Federal matters outside the
usual force of local agents.
Among the documents which the
postal clerks discussed were some
relating to the disappearance of
Squibb whisky from the local Fed
eral Bldg. under the custody of for.
mer United States Marshal Linus p.
Meredith.
In the local Federal Court, the
matter was apparently ended with
the sentencing of three negro JAM
tors and q delicatessen dealer who re.
ceived sentences to Jail and prison.
Exposed In Congress.
The Squibb whisky was taken
from a distillery There were
originally, nearly $500 cases. The
fact that over three hundred cases
were missing from the stock was dis
closed on the floor of Congress by
Representative La Guardia of New
York.
When he made the charge, Mere
ditn first denied that there was any
whisky missing. He then declared
! that it would be impossible to deter
mine the fact as no inventory had
been made. Later he admitted sign
ing on a court docket for the re
| ceipt of definite number of cases
and odd bottles.
Investigators who came from
Washington then determined that
the charge Of La Quardia was true
and that approximately $S4,00C
worth OF whisky, at current bootleg
prices, was missing from the stock
WinlSler Gets a Job
In the inquiry which followed, the
Negro janitors admitted taking some
of the whisky and went to Jail. They
paid heavy fines on their release.
In the securing Of these con
fessions, George Winkler had a
prominent part and now has beer
made prohibition director for the
| State.
The Government, apparently, was
not satisfied that the entire story
had been told and took cognizance
of a published charge that there
were higher ups" involved who ha6
not been disclosed.
The coming Of the special agent
some weeks ago was known at the
Federal building. although he die
not work in conjunction with Of
1cials there.
Inquiry Promised
The letter which was sent to The
Times contained his name on the
outside. The local postal officials
have promised a thorough inquiry
into the unusual handling Of this let
ter and the fact that its contents
were discussed and disclosed
Many other official Federal activ
tiles were referred to in the docu
ments which the postal clerks read
in violation of the rules of the de
! partment.
The inquiry demanded has for its
purpose the disclosure of what
other officials secured information
from the clerks who handled the let
ter and how the envelope itself ap
peared to have been slit with SHARP
implement.
