WISEHART FILES
PROFIT REPORT
ON COAL DEAL
Fuel Sale to Aid School
by Senator Sherwood
Probed by State.

State Senator John G.. Sherwood
CRep- MITCHELL, made a gross profit
Of $2.40 a ton on a carload of coal
(thirty-f1ve tons) he sold to Bry-
antSville state aid school, a report
made today by Roy P. Wisehart.
superintendent of public instruction.
disclosed.
WiSehart went to NUr-hell per-
sonally to investigate tbs coal deal
between Spice Valley township trus-
tees, Lawrence county, ans he state
senator, who is a farmer.
Shewood's wife is pr 'cipal OF
the school where the CO.. yas de
livered. WiSehart said.
The following formal report was
made by Wisehart regarding his in
vestigation:
Hauled Coal Eight Miles
Il have investigated in detail toe
question Of i'll niShing coal to the
Bryantsv.ue school for the school
year 1929l930. I find that State
Senator John G. Sherwood furnished
this coal at $Z75 a ton. The coal
was hauled from the Smith Coal
Company yards at Mitchell to Bry-
antsVille, distanceo eight miles.
This coal had to DE loaded at Mitch
ell hauled eight miles, unloaded into
the BryantSville school bin. The
upkeep on two trucks and the sal
aries of the drivers had 10 be paid
out OF the $2.40 profit to Senator
Sherwood"
Denies Khan Connection
Sherwood last week told The In
dianapolis Times that he made
very little profit" on the deal and
also that he is not now nor have
1 ever been a member of the Ku-
Klux Khan"
During his 1929 senate terms
he usually was grouped with the
Khan element in the upper house.
Wisehart pointed out that in for
mer years the coal had been hauled
from Georgia, Ind, thus reducing
the haulage to five and one half
miles. Had Kentucky coal been
shipped to Georgia, however, the
freight rate would be 10 cents great
er than the entire delivered cost of
Indiana coal.
Difference to Be Deducted
Governor Harry G. Leslie asked
that all schools burn Indiana mined
coal as an aid to rehabilitation of
the coal industry and to solve I'M
enjoyment among the miners.
Sherwood says the furnace in the
BryantsVllle school will not handle
Indiana coal
Harry Kirk, state aid auditor, set
a maximum delivered price Of So
for fuel at the school, however, on
the supposition that Indiana mined
coal would be bought.
Wisehart announced he will de-
duct the SITS difference from the
next state-aid paid the school.

PAGEANT SHOWS
SCIENCE TRAIL
THROUGH ACES
Crises in Inventors Lives
Depicted Graphically at
Convention.
BIZ Science Serpfce

By science SeTDGcS
HOBOKEN, N. J., April THE
work of engineers and scientists,
generally considered prosaic and
matter of-fact, was heralded in
pageantry here by George Pierce
Baker, widely-known dramatist of
the Yale university theater, before
prominent engineers from more than
sixteen countries attending the fif-
tieth anniversary celebration of the
American Society of Mechanical En-
gineers.
In what probably is the first dra-
matte review of the history of engi-
neering, DR.. Baker graphically de-
picted crises in the careers of the
men whose inventions and diScov-
cries resulted in the present ma
chine age.
The young and poor George Ste
phenson, pleading before an august
parliamentary committee for per-
mission to build a railroad between
Liverpool and Manchester, was
portrayed.
Predicts Coming Day
Amid arguments that the noise
would brighten the farmers cattle
and through cries OF Fool" and
Idiot" the undaunted inventor
predicted the day when at will be
cheaper for a workingman to travel
upon a railway than to walk on
foot"
Michael Faraday, finder of many
Laws Of electricity, gave the true
reason for pure research when he
replied to the woman who, watch
ing magnetic needle revolve
around a wire carrying a current of
electricity, asked: cot what use is
ito"
Madame, what is the use of a
newborn child?" he countered.
Faraday was shown in the pageant
refusing his friends aluring offers
of money so that he could stay
in his laboratory and learn more
about electricity.
Business Bargain Crisis
A business bargain is the crisis in
the life Of James Watt. The
pageant showed Watt in complete
despair, his funds for experimenting
exhausted, forming his famous part
nership with Boulton, out Of which
came the first commercially success
full steam engine.
The visit of the New York alder
men to Edison's laboratory to see if
the new electric lights would be
suitable for street Illumination was
chosen by DR.. Baker from the dra-
matte career of the aged inventor.
The pageant also showed Alexander
Graham Bell speaking the first
words ever sent by telephone when
he excitedly called his assistant from
distant room, "Mr. Watson, come
nerel want you"
Incidents from the lives Of Morse,
the inventor Of the telegraph, and
Fulton, of steamboat fame, also
were dramatized.

"Coff1nisn1. which means bossisn1,

Errors in the bookkeeping and ac-
counting of Harry Kirk, state aid
auditor in the office of superintend-
ent of public instruction, caused
$22, 69O63 in overpayments to state
aid school townships.
This was disclosed today by the
filing of the field examiners report

ization by the state budget COM
mittee.
Roy P. Wisehart, superintendent
of public instruction, declared today
that when the state budget commit
tee authorized $25 monthly salary
increase for Kirk, Sept. Is, 1929, it
was agreed to make it effective for
June, July, August and September

Cosgrove stated.
Wisehart said he will obtain
budget committee approval for the
back payments or Kirk will deduct
the $l0O from his next salary
voucher.
Wisehart Explains
Wisehart also explained that In
all but one instance, the excess pay
ments in state aid disclosed in the
report have been deducted in the
spring payments to the townships
He admitted that the errors were
due to bad bookkeeping and &C
counting.
The largest single item was an
overpayment of $3,902,41 made ia
Marion township in Lawrence
county.
There were overpaymentS in
thirty-two townships of twenty
counties, the smallest being $3.50
paid Highland township in Greene
county.

Among the larger overpayments
were $3,876.22 to Owen township,
Warrick county, where Cosgrove said
Kirk forgot to deduct a former pay
ment.

Scott township, Harrison county,
$1,82773; English township, Craw-
ford county, $1,519.20: KnightSville

township has filed no state-aid re-
port, Wisehart explained.
