East Chicago City Judge
Takes Slap at Police
Force.

R8 Times SDeciGt
EAST CHICAGO, Ind, April g.
Taking what is regarded as an open
slap at the police department here,
City Judge Michael Harvan has or
dered a clean up" of the commun-
ity embracing Indiana Harbor and
East Chicago.
The judges attitude was revealed
when he announced commissioning
of James Kerrin, former police cap
tain, as court bailiff.
This action is taken as an affront
in police circles, particularly be-
cause Kerrin was discharged from
the police force about year ago at
the time of the campaign between
Raleigh P. Hale and Frank Dale for
the mayoralty. Kerrin later ap-
peared as a witness against Hale
and Chief of Police James Regan
when they were placed on trial in
the federal court at Hammond on
charges of conspiracy to violate the
liquor laws.

COUNTY CLERK
Wins SALARY
BUDGET FIGHT
Iudue LeatherS' Mandate
viii Force Council to
Grant Pay Plea.
APPEAL TO BE TAKEN
Battle Waged Since First of
Year on Request for
More Money.

County Clerk George o. HutSen
today scored a decisive victory in his
fight for a $4,000 total pay raise
for twenty-seven Of his employees,
when Superior Judge James M.
Leathers ended two months Of liti-
CATION by issuing a mandate which
will compel the county council to
allow Hutsell's budget pay request
for 1880.
Made after a labyrinth Of legal
technicalities were offered today by
County Attorney Clinton H. Givan
and William H. Faust, attorney for
Hutseu. and his clerks, Leathers'
ruling in substance holds that salary
fixing power Of county officials
Bupersedes the power of the county
council
Givan indicated he will appeal
feathers decision to the supreme
court.
Start Legal Sparring
The legal cross play began today,
when Givan Withdrew his petition
for a change of venue of the cases
out OF Marion county. at the same
time withdrawing a demurrer to the
clerks original complaints.
Faust then filed amended COM
~
action, Givan, representing the
county council, county commission
ers and County Auditor Harry
Dunn. filed demurrers.
Leathers overruled the demurrers.
20 which Givan refused to plead
further, declaring he would abide
by the courts ruling in the de-
murrer.
Leathers then issued the man
date. specifically in one case, but
applying TO the twenty-six other
Iitigants. mandating the council to
meet at once to appropriate the
additional $4,000 for HutSel's pay
roll
Litigation Long Drawn Out
The litigation began last January,
when factional political fighting
between Hutsell and Coffin men,
bers of the council eliminated in
an attempt of the council to curb
Hutseu's pay scale setting. AS re-
suit. Hutsel's budget was clipped
$4,000, affecting the twenty-seven
clerks. Each clerk later fled suit.
Ruling of the supreme court on
Givan's appeal of Leathers decision
willettle a long-diSputed fight
between county officials as to
whether the council has authority
to pass on the sufficiency of county
employees pay.
Recent ruling on a county case
OF the same question, Special Cir
cult Judge Sydney Miller held with
Leathers that the council had no
discretion in judging clerks pay. AS
result. the council last week was
forced to appropriate $4,000. which
