CITY BIRTH RATE
DROPS; DEATHS UP

died in Indianapolis before they
reached their first birthday. This
figure is drop of points under
1927. This is very excellent death
rate. The 1927 rate was 16 points
lower than the previous year." DR..
Morgan declared.
Decrease from 139 Per 1000 in
1909, to 60.3 this year proves con-
clusively that modern scientific
methods in feeding and rearing in
fants have been adapted in Indi-
annapolis. The educational program
carried on by the press, work done
among the poor through the infant
welfare and child hygiene division,
with the pasturization of milk and
improvement of sanitary conditions
in the city have been responsible in
a large measure for the improved
condition.
1.-THE comparative decrease in the
birth rate proves that larger cities
can not depend on the percentage
of rural population which has kept
up the birth rate in the past. Like
wise, the foreign born, quite a factor
in maintaining the birth rate, are
no longer coming into this country
in sufficiently large numbers to keep
up the rate" DR.. Morgan said.

DECISION TO DEARTH
Supreme Court Holds I'm
peachment of Judge Illegal,

Impeachment of circuit court
judges or prosecuting attorneys does
not lie within the power of the
legislature and the 1927 legislature
exceeded its powers when it held
Circuit Judge Clarence w. Dearsh,
Muncie.
Such is the significance Of a SUI
preme court decision handed down
late Friday. It affirmed the deci-
sion of the Marion county court OF
claims in awarding Dearth his $3.50
salary while off the bench during
impeachment proceedings.
When the legislature talked OF
impeaching Dearth, Attorney-Ge
eral Arthur l.. Gilliom ruled that
impeachment for circuit judges and
prosecutors is only within the prov
ince of the supreme court under
the Indiana constitution. The i'm
parchment law of 1897 does not
apply to them he declared.
This Interpretation of the law was
ignored by the legislators. The
house voted impeachment and
Dearth was tried by the senate and
acquitted by a single vote. He has
since been voted off the bench by
Delaware county citizens.

Southwest Winds Save City

Slightly Warmer Tonight

Southwest winds saved lnolansp-
oils from the zero temperature pre-
dicted for last night and early to-
day. according to J. H. Arn1ington'
United States weather bureau head
The mercury reached its low point
T above zero, at 6 a. m. today.
A shift in the pressure areas OF
the country brought southwest
winds here during the night instead
of the northwest winds expected,
which kept the temperature from
dropping lower, according to Arm
ington.
And it will be slightly warmer to-
night, Armington said. The low
mark will be about 10 to is degrees
above zero.
Sunday, however, it will be colder
and Sunday night the mercury
should drop to about last nights
temperature, he said. There is no
zero weather in sight at the pres
ent time, he said.
Light snow hurries will be on the
weather menu Sunday.
The lowest temperature in the
state this morning was 4 above

WARNS OF COURT TYRANNY
PERIL IN SHUMAkER BRIEF

IF courts may, under what they
call inherent power, determine their
own Jurisdiction, define what is
contempt, fix the amount of penalty
unlimited and unrestricted by law,
overrule former decisions and
thereby make the law applicable in
the case at bar, and convict by ex
post facto decisions; if the court
being the aggrieved party, can act
as prosecutor, judge and jury, and
if the court can then deny the exc
outive branch of government the
right TO pardon and correct any
errors the court may make, certain
ly we are headed very far from
what was the intertion of the
trainers of our national and state
constitutions.
Carried but little farther, this
would create a judicial autocracy
repugnant to every idea and ideal
Of American citizenship" -.

arisen in the United States as to
where we are drifting or where we
are headed in this question of con-
tempt of court" the brief states.
THE Injunction powers OF the court
have been greatly extended and
many ycontempt cases have grown
from it.
"There does not seem to have
been a concerted action, for there
was no conspiracy in it, but there
has been a continuous enlargement
by the courts of their use of con-
tempt proceedings.
This has resulted in many in
stances of legislative and congress
sionaI action restricting powers of
courts in contempt proceedings. In
some states laws have been enacted
permitting the respondent in an in
direct criminal contempt proceeding
to have his case tried BY jury.

Flu Wave in December Is
Blamed for Mortality
Increase.

Noticeable decline in the Indian
apolis birth rate for 1928 and in
crease in the city's death rate was
reported today by DR.. Herman G..
Morgan, health board secretary.
The 1923 death rate of 1913 per
thousand population was an in
crease of Z over the previous years
figure. The 1927 mark was the low
est in the city's history. This years
rate is the fourth lowest in the city'S
history.
The birth rate for each 1000
population was 1866 compared with
17.6 in 1927. The birth rate was the
lowest since a statistical record was
begun twenty-eight years ago.
Flu Cases Increase
DR.. Morgan attributed the z in
crease in the death rate to the wave
Of influenza in November and De-
cember and the increased number
of heart disease cases. There were
200 deaths in December from pneu-
monia, influenza and other respira-
tory diseases. compared with forty
two a year ago.

tician.
DR.. Morgan pointed out that
there is too close margin between
the births and deaths, in spite Of
the fact that the infant mortality
rate was the lowest in the citys

Repeal Would Take Vote
From Women, Mems
Club Told.

Repeal of the primary law would
disfranchise women because they
wouldn't mix with those they would
meet in engine house caucuses," "
Frederick Lands, Logansport edi-
tor, told members of the First Pres
byterian Mems Club Friday night.
Lands, who conducts a column on
the editorial page of The Indian
apoliS Times, was one of the candl-
dates for Republican nomination
for Governor last spring.
He recalled to his listeners, in
vivid language, the appeal of the
old-fashioned political campaigns.
"The radio and moving picture
have taken away those good old
days." he said.
Defends Primary Law
"A man who is a candidate now
gets questionnaires from tree trim
mers, corn doctors, veterinarians,
one-eyed people-they all have some
legislation in which they are inter-
ested deeply.
LET him throw the questionnaireS
in the waste basket and he will wake
up the day after the election showed
under.
Constant suggestion is made to
repeal the primary law. was for
it originally and I am for it now.
1t is the only chance the common
fellow has in thi sday of intense
activity. We hear of its failure to
achieve results. We have had it only
ten or twelve years. We had the
convention system seventy years
and it failed to give results. If it
were left to me I would have a pri-
mary law that would be conclusive
for senator, Governor and PreSi-
dent.
"There were 100000 votes cast in
the last statewide primary. That
is three times as many as would
have been turned out in an engine
house caucus.
urges Drafting Of Leaders
ANY convention is a log-rolling
program. A candidate for this
trades for that, delegates are
swapped, counties bartered. You
can't buy the great mass of the peo-
pie with any promises except those
of honest government have taken
part in fifteen conventions and no
faro bank on earth is not picture
of fidelity and contentment in COM
parison with a state convention.
Hoover elected everybody on the
ticket at the last election. If the
other candidates came out for moth
ing but caulif1ower, the results would
have been exactly the same"
Drafting the services Ct public
leaders was suggested.
Instead of switching from this
remedy to that, We need to interest
leaders in each community. But it
calls for an extraordinary situation
to light the lamp of public welfare.
Take the gas situation here. The
ablest lawyers should be drafted
without pay They do it in other
countries and pay them with titles
and decorations. believe they
