FifieId Defends System of
State Purchasing.

Announcing that automobile
license plates for 1880 will go on
sale Dec. Is and urging early buy
ing to avoid the rush, Otto G. FL
field, secretary of state, today de-
Tended action of his department in
purchasing license plates without
competitive bids.
An article in The Times showing
no bids were advertised for the
license plates caused statewide
criticism of the procedure. Secre-
tary Fifield defended his depart
ment with the statement that the
state is getting plates at lower cost
than any other state having plates
of similar description.
The 1880 license plates, Secretary
Fifield said, were manufactured by
the National Colortype Company of
Lawrenceburg, Ind, and cost 8 cents
a pair and 5 cents for single plates
for trucks, trailers and sub-trailerS.
Secretary Fifeld declared other
states pay from IL to % cents a
pair for similar plates, with the
lowest price for any state out
side Indiana 1912 cents. While bids
we're not asked, competitive prices
were compared, Fif1eld says.
The new plates are blue and
gold, the state colors, letters being
in gold on a blue background. The
state will use approximately
$4,000 pairs, which necessitate the
use of 462 tons of metal and sixty
barrels of enamel. Distribution will
be through the license bureau and
its branches over the state.

Special Session of State
Legislature Also Is
Recommended.
BY BEN STERN,
Times Staff Correspondent

SHOALS, Ind, Dec. ia special
session of the legislature was urged
and two measures for relief of
bankrupt Southern Indiana schools
proposed at a conference here today
of county school superintendents
and trustees.
Legislative proposals we're:
A bill to place all Indiana schools
in one special unit for taxation.
A bill creating a luxury tax to
raise the $1000,000 needed imme-
diately to provide state aid for
schools in poverty-stricken counties.
More than $50 superintendents
and trustees heard the plan and
gave their approval.
Fifteen Deep in Debt
A report made at the conference
showed fifteen counties in southern
Indiana are $4,000 DIN debt, s85 900
of which is owed teachers in back
pay.
The unified effort for relief of the
schools will be fostered by the
Southern Indiana Superintendents'
Club, organized at today's meeting.
Ortha o. Hall, Lawrence county
school superintendent, was elected
secretary of the club. The president
will be the superintendent Of the
county in which the club holds
meetings.
Carl Gray, state senator of Peters
burg, and Representative Fabius
Gwin of Shoals, spoke at today's
sessions and outlined plans for re-
lief. Both are Democrats.
Urges Luxury Tax
Senator Gray declared a luxury
tax would yield up to S20,000,000 an
nually, and estimated the division
as 100000 from a tax on tobacco,
S5000,0O0 from new car sales, and
Sl2,000,000 from taxes on radio, cos
metics and soft drinks.
with these taxes Indiana would
be able to advance from eighteenth
to first place in its schools" he as
serted.
He called attention to the large
sums spent for penal institutions
and declared the state should make
good citizens through education.
Shepherd Whitcomb, Jennings
county school superintendent, de-
clared conditions in Jennings
county are appalling"
Our teachers are looking for
other places and know that un-
less some provision is made for
raising funds, we will not be able
to open many schools next year" !"
he said.
Mortgages have been foreclosed
on sixty farms in our county during
the last year. The school enunera-
ton has shrunk from the $500 of
fifty years ago to barely 3.100. One
third of the land is producing moth
ing, not even poll taxes"

DUSHANE ACTING
SCHOOLS HEAD
Columbus Man Is Appointed
to Temporary Job.

Acting on mysterious "informa-
ton" that Donald DuShane, Colum-
bus QndD school superintendent,
would accept the Indianapolis su-
perintendency, the school board in
executive session today named Du-
Shane acting superintendent.
The board Tuesday night, in ex-
ecutive session, attempted to name
DuShane permanent superintendent
to succeed Charles F. Miller, who
was dismissed, but later found such
action could not be taken until the
next regular meeting, Dec. 81. Du-
Shane told reporters Thursday he
did not intend 10 accept.
The board is expected to make the
appointment regular Dec. 81.
Attempt of Mrs. Lillian v. Sed-
wick to rescind the dismissal of
Miller and permit him to resign,
failed. It was reported the plan of
naming Miller acting superinten-
dent was considered.
Miller was present outside the
board room during the session and
when Ross Teckmeyer, state board
of accounts field examiner, who
previously had been in conference
with the old majority faction mem
bers and later with Miller, called
Lewis F. Whiteman to the door,
Miller started into the board room,
retiring a moment later.
1t was reported following the ses-
sion that Whiteman told the board
he had positive information Du-
Shane would accept the post. When
asked for details, Whiteman told
reporters he had based his informa-
ton on the fact DuShane had not
rejected the offer.

county and Muncie officers are in
Kentucky today with a warrant for
the arrest of a man believed to have
murdered George Heath, 80, and his
wife Elizabeth, 81, in their farm
home four miles south of here.
The wanted man was employed
until few weeks ago on the Heath
farm, 1t is believed revenge was his
motive, but it has not been dis
closed what caused him to have that
attitude.
Tuesday night the man appeared
at the home Of Jason Reese, a
neighbor of the Heaths, and is said
to have acted strangely. Mrs. Reese
noticed him peering through the
window.
She called her husband, who
seized the prowler. He complained to
RooSe, saying he had been at the
Heath home and that a German
police dog kept there had chased
him. He wanted Reese to call the
Heaths by phone and tell them
about the dog.
Investigation at the murder scene
authorities declare, indicates that
the killer was acquainted with the
premises and was friendly with the
dog. Apparently the man was able
to execute the crime without any in
reference from the dog. There
also is some indications that robbery
accounts in part for the murder. A
watch belonging to Mr.. Heath was
found in the front yard of the home
Relatives of the couple prevented
photographers from taking pictures
at the scene of the tragedy, and
were reticent in discussing family
affairs.

amount Of whisky.
They arrested two men
operating the still, four others
who attempted to deliver 10,-
900 pounds of sugar for the
days whisky run, and sum-
moned farmers of the vicinity
for questioning concerning a
liquor ring said to involve not
only nationally known gang
sters and racketeers, but in
auential business men of west
ern Indiana towns.
From the farmers, John w. Will
key, recently appointed deputy pro-
hibition administrator in Indiana,
and his aids heard of terrorization
practiced by agents of the giant
booze ring.
$50 Gallons Daily
From those tfnder arrest they
learned that for more than two
months the big still turned out $50
gallons of whisky daily. During
the same period, j. D. Sturm, Dana
Qnd) farmer, was paid 500 week
ly rental for small farm on which
the plant was located, the dry
agents were told. Thursday a ship
ment of several thousand gallons
of whisky drained the supply of
finished product, the operators Of
the still confessed.
Lon Clearwater, a farmer living
near the Sturm farm, was the first
to relate the inroads of the liquor
industry in Vermillion county
rural districts.

Wilkey, two fellows came to my
farm. Without any provocation

across the face"
Grant Kearns, school bus driver,
also neighbor, told Wilkey that
almost three months ago two we'll
dressed men approached a truck
driver working for him, and asked
that a road be graveled from the
main highway back through a val
ley to the barn. The road was be-
gun, but never completed. A mule
team and wagon were used to haul
the whisky from the still to the
highway.
Wilkey said he would question
Sturm, Carl Snodgrass, an employe
of Sturm, and several others living
in the locality near the still.
The dry agents and their pris-
oners left Terre Haute for Indian
apolis shortly after noon.
Thomas Crone, "a, Clinton, and
Joe Prohoska, 49, Shepardland, Ind,
