RI CnI6U Press
ALBANY, N Y, July 24-Gov-
ernor Alfred E. Smith announced
today that he had selected Aug. %
as the date on which he will be
notified of his nomination as the
Democratic presidential candidate.
The ceremonies will begin at 7
p. m, eastern daylight saving time,
on the steps of the State Capitol.
Smith may have to assume re-
sponsibility for the Democratic
State ticket. in addition to mapping
out his presidential campaign.
The Governors attention has
been directed to the State situation
by the fact that so far his State
leaders have been unable to agree
on a candidate to succeed him, and
the task of selecting a nominee is
believed to have been put up to
him.
1t is the first time in ten years
that the leaders of New York State
Democracy have not agreed on a
candidate to head the State ticket.
Since 1918 Smith has been the
unanimous choice.
The situation places the presi-
Dental nominee in full control Of
the State organization.

SHUMAKER silent
Must Not Speak, Only Com
ment of Dry Head.

II am under an injunction of
silence; there are reasons" was the
only comment to be drawn today
from E. S. Shumaker, Indiana Anti
Saloon League, on the possibility of
his appealing to the United States
Supreme Court from decision of the
Indiana State Supreme Court that
he must serve sixty days on the
Indiana State Farm and pay a fine
of $3.50 for contempt OF court.
Decision whether appeal shall be
taken or Shumaker advised to serve
his term rests with the headquarters
committee of the league which
conferred Monday without announc-
ing it's recommendations.
Members of the committee, Dr.
w. B. Farmer, DR.. G. H. Winders
and DR.. Ernest N. Evans, only
would say they we're working on a
proposition" This strengthened the
general belief that appeal would be
addressed to the highest court in
the land.

BID MYSTERY
covered UP
School Coal Contract Goes
at Higher Price.

An attempt of Albert F. Walls
man, public school business di-
rector, to tell what happened the
other day" in connection with re-
ceipt of bids for school coal, was
stopped promptly in a special school
board meeting today by President
Theodore Vonnegut.
And so the mystery of why a
contract for approximately 1000
tons Of West Virginia coal went to
a bidder Who was cents ton
higher than another on West Vir-
ginia coal from the same county,
went officially unexplained.
Before the board started con-
sidering bids Walsman started to
say something about what hap
pened the other day." Vonnegut
Immediately interposed, IT don't
think we had better go into that"
Several minutes later Board Mem
Der Fred Kepner moved that the
West Virginia contract be given to
the Marion Coal and Supply Com
pany for $5.12 a ton. Mrs. Lillian
Sedwick, board member, leaned for
ward and in low voice murmured: !:
"Oh, no, not that company"
Kepner held a whispered consul
tation with Mrs. Sedwick and then
moved that the contract go to the
Peoples Coal and Supply Company
at $517 a ton.

SLASH TRACK LEVY
Reduction of Elevation Fund
Is Predicted.

Reduction of the track elevation
levy in the 1929 budget to 8 cents
was forecast today by Oren S. Hack,
works board president.
The board first decided to ask a
Az cent levy, but several confer
ences have resulted in the decision
that the cent levy will be sufficient
to carry on the program for the next
year, aiding the Slack administra-
ton to reduce the tax rate.
1t is said the city officials expect
the track elevation work 10 be tied
up with litigation for another year
or so. A 6 cent maximum is pro-
vided by law. The funds accumu-
late each year to pay for the eleva-
ton work. The levy last year was
3 cents.
Track Elevation Engineer M. N.
Beebe has urged the maximum rate
so the fund will accumulate when
the city is ready to go forward and
save issuance of bonds.
Mayor L. Ert Slack is understood
to be making some large cuts in the
works board budget.

ECHOES OF STEVE TRIAL
MAY HOVER OVER COURT
IN SKEEN MURDER CASE
State Again May Press
Legal Obligation of AC-
CuSed to Help Victim.

A ghost of the D. c. Stephenson
murder trial may hover over Grim
inal Court this week when Carl
Skeen, %, of 814 Foltz Ave, faces
jury for the death OF Mrs. Pearl
Jarboe, "a, waitress, who fell or was
pushed from his car June IL.
One of the circumstances of the
Klan dragons trial at Noblesyille
was the theory Of the State that
he was bound by duty and law to
seek medical aid for the suffering
Miss Madge Oberholtzer, for whose
murder he was convicted. It was
shown that almost two days elapsed
between Stephenson's attack on Miss
Oberholtzer and the first medical
attention given her.
In the Skeen trial, if the State is
unable to prove that he pushed her
from his car, causing her to receive
the fractured skull that brought
about death, the prosecution may
rely Oh IIle same tneOry.
Would Put Blame on Skeen
A further analogy between the
Skeen and the Stephenson cases,
which may develop during the trial,
is the theory that Mrs. Jarboe was
put in such state of fear that she
sought to end her life, or at least es-
cape the clutches of Skeen, as Miss
Oberholtzer attempted suicide after
her night train ride to Hammond
with the former Klan dragon.
Such a theory, if borne out by
testimony, would place the blame on
Skeen for causing the fear, as it did
on Stephenson for being the cause
of Miss Overholtzer' taking bichlo-
ride of mercury tablets.
Skeen's trial, originally set for Mon
day, was postponed in the courts
efforts to clear all Jail cases before
August vacations start.
1t is likely he will go to trial
Wednesday, but if the calendar is
not cleared by then, it will be
Thursday Chief Deputy Prosecutor
Judson Stark said. Stark and Prose-
cutor William H. Remy will push
the States case, while Thomas G.
Whallon and Earl Cox are Skeen' S
attorneys. Judge James A. Collins
will preside.
Just what Skeen's defense will
be has not been revealed by Whal-
lon. Although he is charged with
first degree murder, the jury is al
lowed to find him guilty of any OF
the lesser degrees, such as man
slaughter, punishable by less severe
prison terms.

IN SLAYING OF OFFICER

Station ST., just as the bandit pair
was pouring four shots into Miller's
body.
The men had been loafing in
front of a nearby grocery when the
motor police arrived on call from
the drugstore that a pair OF sus-
picious characters were in the
vicinity.
The murder of Miller came
twenty-four hours after the killing
of two automobile bandits by police.
Two men giving the names Paul
Hawkins, 35, St. Louis, and Will
liam Dougherty, SO. Springfield, Ill,
were arrested near Eagle Greek and
w. Michigan ST., by police Monday.
Hawkins had scar on his arm,
thought to have been caused by a
burn. and persons seeing him told
police that he might be the wounded
bandit. Both men were held for
questioning on vagrancy charges.

He said, when questioned,
that the officers had brought
them to Bedford and placed
them in a hotel room.
"They kept us there with guns on
us all night" Smith was reported to
have said. "Then this morning they
let me call my wife and she brought
the money down to pay the fines.
After that the officers started for
New Albany"
Smith said he did not know where
Alimons and McMurphy had gone.
Officers said Smith was in "dazed"
condition.
Posses Search District
Meanwhile, hundreds Of citizens
combed the territory between Bed
ford and New Albany, in hopes of
finding the two officers. Belief was
expressed that, since posses had left
both New Albany and Bedford, had
the two officers been here this
morning some one would have seen
them along the road.
The territory in this section of
Indiana is hilly and wooded in many
spots and posses found it difficult
to search along the road side.
A report spread over New Albany
that Wrights body had been found,
but no confirmation of this was re-
ceived. Despite an attempted check,
the rumor persisted that the body
had been found.
1t was thought that Smith would
undergo further questioning, as
soon as officers, out on the search,
came into the city.
Recalls Lafayette Killings
Today's man-hunt recalled a
similar one few months ago, when
John Burns and Samuel Baxter, two
prisoners, disappeared from La
fayette with Officers Wallace Nc
Clure and John Grove. Several
days hunt followed, eliminating
with the finding of the bullet-riddle
bodies of the officers in a wood.
Burns and Baxter, we're not heard
from for several weeks, but Burns
finally was captured when he re-
turned to his home in Lafayette.
He was sent to prison for life, on a
murder charge. Baxter still is at
large.
The two officers left Lafayette
with the two prisoners for Pendle-
ton reformatory, and were not seen
alive after leaving their home city.
