COURT BATTLE FORECAST
ON BUILDING OF SCHOOLS
Board of Education Hints
Injunction Plea Against
Tax Commission.

Use of court injunction to prevent
interference by the State tax board
N awarding of bids and construction
of school buildings was contem-
plated today by the Indianapolis
school board, 1t was indicated by
Theodore F. Vonnegut, president.
eve are investigating our rights
under the law and as soon as we
know definitely where we stand, we
will be prepared to go into the
courts to prevent undue interfer-
ence, If necessary" Vonnegut said
Serving warning on the school
board that bidding on heating and
ventilating systems for four pro-
posed school buildings and addi-
tions "muSt be open and competi-
tive" the tax board Wednesday au-
thorized receipt of bids for the ad-
ditions.
May Permit Bond Issue
In the order, the tax board made
this requirement and said if it is
met, that issuance of $600,000 bonds
for the building probably will be
authorized.
Heating and ventilating bidding
always has been and always will be
open and competitive" Charles W.
Kern, majority faction board men,
ber, said.
IF we can get architects to draw
plans for more than one system,
provided the systems comply with
all provisions of the sanitary school
house law, without extra cost, as the
tax board suggested, I, for one, shall
be happy.
IF the architects want to charge
more, we will have to see the tax
board again and ask what to do.
They probably will tell us who their
friends are"
Kern declared use of any system
of heating and ventilating comply
ing with the law is agreeable with
me-"
Vonnegut, in discussing the tax
board requirement that more than
one system be included in specif1ca-
tions, said:
when you build city street, you
advertise for brick, concrete, asphalt,
tarvia or some other sort of ma
terial The same thing applies to
school heating and ventilation. You
either use the direct-indirect, split
or some other type of system"
Action Wednesday was the first
taken by the tax board on the bond
issue since the hearing two weeks
ago, when each board member
scored the apparent lack of COM
petition in heating and ventilating
specifications and bids.

Foote added that reports and
checks bearing a postmark earlier

Federal building corridors were

WILD FUND GROWS
10 Per Cent Dividend Soon
Seen for DepoSitorS.

Payment of another 10 per cent
dividend to depositors in the defunct
j. F. Wild & Co. Bank may be pos
Sible by the middle of May, Probate
Judge Mahlon E. Bash said today.
1t is likely, however, that the pay
ment will be held up until June or
late May so that a larger payment
may be made. The expense of mall
ing out between $1,000 and $4,000
checks, clerk hire and other over
head makes it more economical to
wait until a larger dividend can be
paid
The largest item expected the
next few weeks will be 100000
from the sale of the bank building.
This money is due before April /.
Sale of small lots of bonds and
other assets probably will increase
the total-to be divided in dividends
to $334,000, the figure necessary to

By CRited Press
LONDON, March 1.-two groups
waited apprehensively today as hour
by hour sped by without word of
the airplane Endeavor, in which
Capt. Walter Hinchliffe and the
Hon. Miss Elsie Mackay ATTEMPTED
a transatlantic flight.
At the home of the titled British
woman, word was awaited as to the
fate of the pretty and adventurous
daughter of Lord Inchcape. Her
parents are in Egypt.
In the suburbs at Hnchliffe's
home, there was another anxious
group, including Mrs. Hinchliffe.
Gordon Sinclair, who was to have
been in the plane, had been at the
Hinchliffe house much Of the night.
The Hinchliffe group asked news
papers and press associations re-
peatedly for information concerning
the flight attempt :
Sinclair Is Located
Sinclair was found last night. He
had intended to accompany Hinch-
lille, but gave way to Miss Mackays
desires to be the first woman to fiy
across the Atlantic. A United Press
correspondent talked with him on
the telephone.
1 assure you that Miss Mackay
positively is aboard the Endeavor,
he said
"The reason for the secrecy was
because she requested I remain in
the background for a time to allay
the anxiety of her relatives. But
now a long time has elapsed and
1 can come to light again.
when the airplane departed re-
turned Immediately to London and
did not return to my wife. I re-
NAMED at an obscure hotel.
"Hinchliffe carried between $50
and 500 gallons of gasoline, sufi-
cient for about forty-five hours in
the air.
Girl Adventurous Type
The reason that prompted the
pretty British girl to make the
hazardous flight was not forth
coming today, other than that she
might have done it for a thrill. She
is talented, has great social po-
Sition and her father-Lord Inch
cape--is one Of BritainS greatest
ship owners.
Always she has been an ad-
venturous sort. During the war she
eloped and married an actor. She
was cut off by her family. Later
the marriage was annuled and she
returned to her fathers home.
She was an accomplished horse
woman, a good interior decorator
and one of Britains most noted
women airplane pilots.
Hinchliffe served in the royal air
force during the war and lost ons
eye in an engagement. Afterwards
he entered commercial aviation.

Secrecy Blocks Rescue
BV United Press


NEW YORK, March 15.-The Sc
I crecy under which Capt. Walter
Hinchliffe, one-eyed f1ier, and the
Hon. Elsie Mackay, pretty. titled
British heireSs, attempted to fly the
Atlantic Ocean from England to
the United States, today defeated
the calculations of those who might
have gone to their rescue.
The aviators at the numerous fly
ing fields around New York ex-
pressed doubt that any relief planes
would be sent out to search for the
Endeavor because so little was
known OF Hinchliffe's proposed
route
OfAcials at Mitchell field have
abandoned hope for the fights sue
cess.
The Endeavour now is more than
tWenty-four hours overdue over the
American continent. had it taken
the northern route coming in by
way of Newfoundland.
At Curtiss Field it was pointed
out that previous Atlantic flights
had started with all the benefits of
publicity. Ships along the route
were notified and tentative schedules
of the flights were drawn up in ad-
vance.
Many UnfOunded Rumors
The Hinchliffe plans. however.
were kept secret, presumably at the
request of Miss Mackay, who did not
want her family to worry. For that
reason any ships which may have
been along the route Of the
Endeavor were not on the lookout
for the plane.
many rumors that the airplane En-
deavor-in which the Hon. Elsie
MacKay and Captain Walter Hinch-
life were fying-had landed.
But dawn found none of these ru-
morS confirmed and belief grew that
the plane had ended its flight some
where in the vicious waters of the
north Atlantic.
The various reports Of landing.
or of the plane being sighted came
from Newfoundland. Nova Scotia,
the Boston airport and New Jersey.
Reports Prove False
An airplane was heard passing
over the Boston airport about $50
p. m. and hope grew that the fight
had been successful. But hour after
hour passed and there was no word
to substantiate the belief that the
motor roar was that of Hinchcliffes
plane.
During the night there was a re-
port that an airplane had landed
near Menlo Park, N. j.
This is near the Hadley field air
mail station and the report was be-
lieved to have started shortly after
the night air mail plane from
Cleveland landed at the field. No
other planes landed there during the
night.
The one remaining chance today
was that the plane had landed safe
ly, but that the two fliers had been
unable to communicate with the
outside. In this event it might be
days before their safety was known.
It seemed more likely, however,
that the Endeavor had followed the
course of the other planes that had
started on westward trans Atlantic
flights, and would never again be
heard from.
