The meeting Thursday night was
addressed by the Rev. Earl Willy,
leader of the National City Church,
now being built in Washington. He
spoke on, "Foreward Movements of

principles of Jesus Christ rather
than creeds laid down by the mind
of man.

ENGINEERS TO
PONDER SCHOOL
Law SQUABBLE
Heating and ventiIating
Devices to Be Studied
at Meetings.

Revision of the sanitary school
house law, battle-ground Of school,
board and tax board because of its
heating and ventilating require
ments, may be sought in the next
Legislature, as the result of study
by the Indianapolis Engineering So
ciety.
Hearing manufacturers Of heat
ing and ventilating devices at their
weekly meetings this month, mem
bers of the engineering society are
trying to find unbiased answers to
these questions:
Is the existing law sensible?
Is - practicable?
Is yrict appliance pos'tDle?
If not, is it to be retained never
theless for its educational results
and as a goal to be as nearly
achieved as possible, in view Of local
conditions?
The public, the engineers believe,
has been bewildered by the storms
which ragged here over school, venti-
lating systems, the lightning now
striking the school board, neXt the
State tax board, or G. G. Sh PIP, To-
cal manufacturer of direct,indirect
ventilating systems, or riva' manu-
facturers.
The law requires that 225 cubic
feet of space shall be provided for
each pupil in a school room; that
ventilation shall be provid%l fur
nishing 1900 cubic feet of air each
hour for each 225 cubic feet of
space; that heating systems shall
provide a temperature of 10 degrees,
while maintaining relative hui
mildly of not less than 40 per cent.

Authorization Of a special pond

area connects with land gift made
last week by the Lehigh Portland

The park will include LOIS acres
and will be replete with beauty

No official name has been selected
for the new pleasure center, and
for the present it will be known as

efficiency.
He declared his type of exhaust
devices would meet requirements
of the State law under normal CEN
ditions and with sufficient intake
without necessitating opening Of
windows. His firm does not man
ufacture intake devices-the other
factor in ventilating systems.
Jordan said he believed ventilat-
ing manufacturers regarded the law
as a standard they should try to
attain, rather than one they must
strictly abide by. He said its re-
suits had been beneficial and that
"ventilating has been underdone,
not overdone."
DR.. william F. King, secretary of
the State board of health, charged
with inspection of ventilating sys-
TENS in the schools, and enforce
ment of the sanitary schoolhouse
law, reminded the engineers that
ii a change is sought in the
measure it should be with due re-
gard for conditions throughout the
State.

apolis, it is necessary to protect

CITY COUNCIL DISCUSSES MANY
MATTERS AT LIVELY SESSION

Sterling Oswalt, chief of police,
appeared before the members of the
city council at the regular meeting
of that body held last night and
asked that they take some action to
settle definitely the status of his
department. He said that he had
heard at numerous times during the
last three weeks that half of his de-
partment was to be asked for res
ignations, including himself, and
that under the circumstances try
ing situation had arisen.
Mayor Clements informed Chief
Oswalt that he was not satisfied
with the manner in which affairs
had been conducted and did not
like the manner in which he had
let out certain patrolmen and raised
the pay Of others without consult
ing the board. He also said that the
expenses of conducting the depart
ment had been heavy.
Chief Oswalt in his reply declar-
cd that as head of the police depart
ment he felt that he should have
authority to do the hiring and fir
ing and that if this power was not
given him he would have little hold

CASE AGAINST

ed With Woman Charg-
ed With Insanity.

Los ANGELES, May 17.-Her-
tha "Babe' Kaths Murray, who
stated from the witness stand that
she made a tlip to New York with
Claus Spreckels, San Diego million
are, today was ordered released
from the 'psychopathic ward Of the
General hospital where she was
held on charge Of chronic-alcohol-
ism. n@
Her dismissal was ordered by
Judge Gould after two complaining
detectives failed to prove that she
was habitually intoxicated. Detec-
tive C. L. Anderson admitted that
he had known Mrs. MuFra! only .
few minutes when he swore out
the complaint against her.
During her testimony Mrs. Muir
ray said she was given to under
stand when she was arrested that
she was to be charged with viola
ton of the Mann act because of
her associations and trips i'll the
company of Spreckels.
Robert McMahan, detective who
aided Anderson in making the ar
rest, admitted that he "might
have' questioned Mrs Murray con-
corning her friendship with Spreck-
els.
Anderson admitted at one point
that he did not take Mrs. Murray
directly to jail because he twas
getting information. -
In dismissing the complaint
Judge Gould commented that his
court evidently had been used for
u purpose for which it was not de-
s.gned and stated that the warrant
never should have been sworn
against Mrs. Murray.
