PROBERS Get
MORE Time IN
ARM0RY QUIZ
Senate Committee Win Be
Delayed Several Days
in Report.

The Indiana senate today granted
the special committee investigating
the construction of state almories
under the closed corporation" plan
an indefinite amount of additional
time to complete the probe. No OBJ
iections to the time extension were
made.
The committee, appointed by a
resolution introduced some weeks
ago, was to present its report to-
day.
Senator Alonzo H. Lindley, King
man, chairman, announced that sew
eral more Gays would be needed to
complete the work. All the needed
information will be on hand by the
end of the week, he said.
Data on Rentals Asked
Delay was caused in part by the
request of Adjutant-G General william
H. Kershner that he be given time
to gather additional data regarding
armory rent as requested by the
committee Saturday.
The committee at that time heard
testimony of President Henry Os-
from of the Ostrom Realty and
Construction Company, builders of
all the armories under the CLOSED
corporation" plan. Ostrom is said
to have asserted that there was
competition in that his company let
subcontracts through bids.
The company is a subsidiary of
The Peoples State bank, which
handled the armory financing
through trustees, or holding COM
panies.
Banker Testifies
President Felix M. McWhirter of
the bank was one of the principal
witnesses before the committee last
week. He combatted evidence IN
earthed by the state board Of &C.
counts which commended that the
state must pay $4,000 for a $50, 900
armory at Franklin.
This Gaia, and numerous similar
statistics given the committee from
residents of cities where armories
have been built under the Jackson
regime, caused Lindley to summon
Kershner to re-appear and explain
his request for $350,000 for rentals.
