WORK ON DISPOSAL
OF NEW BOND ISSUE

Conforming to an order of the
state tax board, county commits
sionerS today were preparing to &C
cept and sell a $139.000 bond issue
authorized by the state board for
building an addition to the Mar
ion county board of Children's
Guardians home.
They had, however, abandoned
their first procedure of awarding
the construction contract before SELL
ing bonds. and were acting accord
ing to statute by first selling bonds
and then awarding contract. The
former course of action was at
tackled as illegal by County Attorney
Clinton H Givan.

The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1929-12-04

The board had resolved itself into
two factions over the contract
award. John Shearer and Charles
o. Sutton had disregarded the opin-
ion Of Commissioner George Snider,
and given the contract to the second
lowest bidder, which the tax board
refused to permit.
Contractors probably will be asked
to re-bid on the construction work.
1t was pointed out that the con-
tractor to whom the bid had been
given by the majority faction of the
board now will have an opportunity
to reive his figures on the basis
OF other prices submitted.

Aroused Citizens of

INTERNATIONAL FALLS, Mimi,
June 21.-The federal government
has no intention to 'in any way
transgress the limits of the law"
President Herbert Hoover said in a
letter received today by the city
council of International Falls.
The message was in answer to two
"For Gods sake, help us" appeals
sent to the President by prominent
citizens and the city council, after
customs guards had killed Henry
Virkkula, Big Falls confectioner,
whom they suspected of transport
ing liquor.
You may rest assured" the Presi-
dents message said, that there is
no intention on the part of the fed
eral government in any way to
trangresS the limits of the law.
THE matter, as mentioned in the
city council message, has been re-
ferred to the treasury department
for action"
The answer came almost fort
night after Virkkula had been
killed and Emmett J. White, border
patrolman, lodged in Jail on a
murder charge.
At the same time George johnson,
city clerk, received a letter from
United States Senator Thomas D.
Schall of Minnesota, to whom a
second appeal had been made.
"This is a terrible thing" Schall
said, "and some means should be
found to prohibit its repetition"
The message to the President
asking relief from arrogant law
lessness, was sent June II, and that
to Schall June TO- Similar appeals
were dispatched to Senator Henrik
Shipstead and Representative Fred

FLIGHT, Says
I FARM SLAVE
Georgia Man Charges He
Was Held Captive on
i Peanut Plantation.
OWNER is ARRESTED
Three Negroes Verify Story
of Cruelty and WhippingS
to White Man.
BIZ United Press


ATHENS, Ga, June 21.-Claude
King, %, today was being held in
communicate in Clarke county jail
along with three Negroes, as the
governments principal witnesses
against a wealthy plantation owner,
who is under indictment for peon-
age.
w. D. Arnold Sr., for whom King
and the Negroes worked in sparsely
settled Webster county, remote from
any large town, is under $4,000
bond after having been arrested on
a federal warrant charging peonage.
He is scheduled to be arraigned at
a special session of the United
States district court at Americus
July 2.
King, who has a wife and four
children, claims that he worked on
Arnold's peanut plantation for three
years, and that for the last two
years and half he has received
but $3.50 weekly with which to buy
provisions.
Whipped by Negroes
In addition he was furnished with
tenant house inadequately
equipped and in disrepair.
He was held by two Negroes while
another whipped him, at Arnold's
command, he charges, after an at
tempt to run away and gain a fresh
start in life, several months ago.
Arnold followed him to a nearby
hamlet, where he had gone to ar
range for the removal of his family.
King claims, forcing him to return
to the plantation. There he was
f1ogged, he says, and forced to go
back to work in the fields, although
weak from effects of the lash.
The two Negroes alleged to have
held King while Arnold stood by
with a pistol, forcing third Negro
to beat the tenant with strap, are
in jail here, and bear out the white
mans story, according to police.
The Negro who f1ayed the barred
back of King is sought by author
@0'SD 90 144ObI4C1 IldGSIldl WlGDeSS
against the plantation owner.
Negro Also FIogged
King, gives the impression of pos
seSsing an intelligence above that of
the average farm hand.
He frequently has asked Arnold
for a reckoning, he said, being re-
Warded on each occasion with the
answer so often given plantation
tenants-that he was indebted to
the planter.
The alleged peonage system en-
ployed at the plantation was
brought to the attention of federal
authorities by John Vanover, one of
the Negroes held here as a material
witness.
Vanover also was said to have
been fogged.
1t was this which prompted him
to tell his story.
