Considering a Z

it is indeed a pleasure to hear this

Sydney Grant is remembered from
his musical comedies days. His
vaudeville act is made up of impress

upon the stage in the last fifteen
years. He works with ease and at
tempts to please with a routine
which is far away fro mthe ordinary
act.
The best part Of the offering Of
Gerty Barnes, singer, is the male
pianist. 1t seems to me that she
forces her comedy attitude too much
to get the proper results.
O'Dunn and Day have little skit

the lines and the business at the
end of the act are rather strong. Yet
the song numbers are clever.
Miss Physical Culture opens( the
show with a type of an act that has
never appealed to me as vaudeville

SECOND BARRETT
LAW GRAB BILL
PASSEDBY HOUSE
Measure Would Make Prop
erty Owners Pay Up
Deficit in Fund.

Despite opposition by Representa-
tive William Dentlinger Oem),
former city clerk of Connersville,
the Indiana House Of Representa-
tives today passed the Senate bill
sponsored by the Marion County
delegation to stop the pocketing of
between 100000 and $4,000 Barrett
law fun interest annually by Marion
County treasurers.
The bill provides for the retention
by the county of all interest accru-
ing to the fund. The provision OBJ
jected to by Dentlinger prevents a
property owner from paying up his
assessments, after the Barrett law
ten-year plan has been chosen, with
out paying ten years interest.
To Raise Deficit
The bill was admitted to be de,
signed to replace a deficit in the In.
dianapolis fund of between $500, ,000
and 100000 caused by Marion Coun-
ty treasurers pocketing this interest
instead of holding it in trust for the
city.
Dentlinger said that as clerk OF
Connersville he had experience with
Barrett law funds and there is NO

on the subject if the funds are han.

owners to pay ten years interest

against their property before the ten
years has passed.

CITATION Of
Commission
JURY TOPIC;
Overt Act Awaited Before
. Contempt Charge Is
Made, Belief.
PLAN ACTION NEXT WEEK
Detention Home Report Ig-
nored by Officials.

Possibility of asking Criminal
Court Judge James A. Collins to
cite County Commissioners Cassius
L. Hogle and Charles o. Sutton, for
indirect contempt of court was dis
cussed by the Marion County grand
jury today.
The commissioners have an
nounced they would ignore the
jurys recommendation against NOV
ing the Juvenile Detention Home to
the Holloway apartments, 225 e.
Michigan st,
Prosecutor William H. Remy ad-
vised the jury to wait until the
commissioners take some definite
step to disregard the jury's instruc-
tions and take over the E. Michigan
st. building for use as a Detention
Home.
Plan Action
1t is understood the jurors de-
cided to start the contempt proceed
ings next week if the commission
ers act in the meantime.
Hogle and Sutton leased the E.
Michigan St. property from James
F.. Edwards, real estate man and
county councilman, and plan to
A1ove the home there March
b. At present the home is
at 1102 N. Capitol Ave. The jury
recommended retention of the Capt.
tol Ave, site until new home was
erected or, at least, until one more
fitted for the purpose than the Mich
igan ST., property is found.
George Snider, majority faction
member, who has had no part in
leasing the proposed structure, re
inained silent on the issue. Sutton
declared there was no way in which
the commissioners could avoid the
lease. which calls for rental of the
Michigan st. site for $3.50 a month
s25 a month more than the council
has appropriated for Detention Home
rent.
To Move Anyway
eve are going to move in any
way" Sutton stated. "We cannot
get out of our lease"
1.-The report of the jury was moth
ing more than recommendation,
IIogle declared. "If it is contempt
10 disregard the report, then We have
been in contempt of court ever since
we have been commissioners. for pre-
vious grand juries have repeatedly
recommended that we select new
site for the home. Up until recently
we did nothing about it, but we
were never cited for contempt"
Backed by Givan
The majority faction commission
ers were supported in their move by
a written opinion of County Attor-
ney Clinton Fl. Givan. The attorney
stated that the five reasons set out
BY the jury, on which it was recon-
mended that the home not be moved
to Michigan ST., were nothing but
aA,onclusions with no facts to sustain
Them"
The last reason 70 the jury, that
the structure was not equipped with
fire escapes, was considered by
Givan of minor Importance. He said
this matter could be remedied for
about $1OO~
Referring to the Edwards connec-
ton with the transaction, the opinion
stated the attorney had investigated
the situation and found "tha Ed
wards did no benefit from the con
tract"
