State SCHOOL
CRISIS faced;
funds STACKING
Many May Be Closed on
Jan. |; Consider Call
for Legislature.
DEFICIT NEAR MILLION
County Leaders to Meet at
Shoals Dec. Is for
Conference.

With county school heads PLAN
ming demands that the legislature
be called in special session to pre-
vent closing of many schools Jan. 1,
state school authorities today de-
clared a deficit of 100000 exists
in the states fund for school aid
and that only some special form of
taxation can provide the needed
funds.
County school heads will meet
Dec. IS at Shoals to consider the
situation, which may result in
closing many southern Indiana
schools for lack of funds.
While Governor Harry Leslie had
no request for a special session Of
the legislature, he announced today
he would not act on any such de-
mand until he made a full 1nvesti-
cation of "the uses and abuses" OF
the school deficit funds.
Squar ring Is Charged
1t has been charged that vast
sums have been squandered by
township trustees through exorbi-
tant salaries to bus and hack drivers
for consolidated schools and pur-
chases of unnecessary books and
supplies.
Roy P. Wisehart, state superin-
tendent of public instruction, today
declared efforts of the last legisla-
ture to relieve the situation have
proved inadequate and that the raise
of Is per cent in the amount set
aside for the school aid offers but
Slight relief.
w. v. Payne, Monroe county
school superintendent, has said that
all schools in ten of the twelve
townships in his county must close
Jan. ! or operate without paying
bills. Salaries of many teachers
have not been paid this year, he
pointed out. A total Of $500 chill
dren attend the schools.
State Pays Deficit
The state agrees to pay the deficit
in operation costs of school units
which levy local taxes Of $1.20 or
more for school purposes. For three
years the state has not been able to
meet the deficits.
In 1927 total Of 1877 schools re-
ceived state aid. In 1928 the num-
Der increased to 218, and 242 are
asking state aid this year.
The legislature, in 1921, provided
that 80 per cent of the 7-cent COM
mon school tax be placed in the de-
ficiency fund and in 1929 raised the
amount to As per cent.
Tax Effort Fails
Efforts to raise additional funds
for school use by tobacco tax
failed in the 1929 legislature.
Superintendent Wisehart insists
special taxation of some kind must
be provided to remedy the situation.
State authorities have not re-
ceived any request from school au-
thorities as yet for the special legiS-
lative session, but indicated they be-
lieved such a request will be made
following the Shoals conference.
In a recent distribution Of the
deficit funds to county school units,
IS cents of each 81 requested was
paid. The Is per cent increase au-
thorized by the last legislature
would raise the amount distributed
to rs per cent of the requested
funds.

Mystery Killer Stays Man,
Three Women and Four
Children.
DUSSELDORF IN PANIC
Terror ReignS at Night as
Streets Are Deserted;
JeerS at Police.
BY MILTON BRONNER
NEA Service Writer

DUSSELDORF, Germany, Dec. 2.
Dusseldorf today is a city of
dread Fear stalks the streets and
shakes the nerves of even the
strongest.
Anxious mothers keep their chill
dren at home. Fathers dread the
fall of the twilight when their
daughters have not yet returned
from office, shop or school.
For in this great city, which is
such a hive of German industry,
stalking flend has killed one
man, three women and four chill
dren and mutilated eleven other
women.
There is no Identity clew. There
is not even certainty whether the
killer is man or woman. The best
efforts of the cleverest criminal
police of Dusseldorf and the IA
nous Berlin force have so far
availed nothing.
Direct Police to Grave
And the killer, with sardonic in
difference to their frantic efforts
calmly mailed to a local Communist
paper map which showed where
they could find buried the body Of
one of his latest victims, little
5-year-old Gertrude Alderman.
Digging was started at the point
indicated and the body really was
there.
Not since the Whitechapel district
of the east end of London stood
aghast at the series of murders
committed by Jack the Ripper"
has any great city been so shaken
as is Dusseldorf at present.
The London killer claimed eight
women victims and his crimes ex-
tended over a period running from
1887 to 1889 inclusive. The German
killer already has exceeded this in
ten months.
Ripper Never Caught
Jack the Ripper" never was
caught, despite all the efforts of far
famed Scotland Yard. Indeed, one
of his victims was killed almost
under the nose of the police. The
frightened Duseldorfers are begin
ming to wonder whether their own
sleuths are going to have any bet
ter luck.
One of the results of their feeling
- IF 20
has been put into force. Parents
do not allow their children out when
dark begins to fall.
They are afraid to send them to
nearby stores, even to get a loaf of
bread. The streets off the main
highways take on a deserted look
when night comes. PlainclotheS po-
lice are everywhere on the watch.
The last victim of the fiend was
little Gertrude Alderman. 1t is
believed she was enticed away by
a woman, who, on the previous
day. gave the child some candy
and promised to come again the
next day to give her another pack
age.
Man or Woman?
This clue was given the police
by two other children who said a
woman also gave them candy.
They described her as about so
years of age, with dark hair worn
close down to the neck, dark eyes
and red, Sunburned face.
They also acentuated the fact that
she spoke with deep hoarse voice.
So now the police are wondering
whether the murderer is man
who DISCUSSES himself as woman.
or woman who sometimes dis
guiSeS herself as a man.
