SON NEW HEAD
OF SCHOOL BOARD

charged by York, Nov. IS. She had
been with the board seven years.
Miller, after his resignation was
accepted, issued the following state
ment:
I'm submitting my resignation as
superintendent of the Indianapolis
schools, I wish to call the atten-
ton of the public to the following:
"It is well known that 1t is con-
trary to good school policy and
detrimental to the best interests of
the schools to make a change in adj
ministration in the middle of the
year.
The dignity of the position of
superintendent of your city schools
demands that superintendent
should be given a reasonable notice
that his services are no longer re-
CURED.
I'VE congratulate the sagacity of
the board in learning that suitable
superintendent can not be elected
at this time as superintendents Of
other cities are working under con-
tract and are not available until the
close Of the school year.
The school city Of Indianapolis
will have TO establish in the minds
OF educational leaders that an cleo
ton for four-year term means
more than six-four tenure before
a good school policy can be estab-
lished.
I'VE take pleasure in saying TO
you that we are confident the
morale OF the teaching corps Is ex-
cellent and the school organization
one VI the very best"

BIZ United Press
CHICAGO, Jan. 2.-Samuel How
ard Dorr, accused of the murder OF
his sweetheart's husband, went to
trial today for his life despite all
efforts of his attorney to delay the
proceedings.
Dorr was brought into court with
Mrs. Geneyieve O'Brien, the blonde
wife who tried to shield him by
shouldering the responsibility for the
murder of her motorman-city clerk
husband. Mrs. Dorr, soon to become
a mother, sobbed throughout the
preliminary proceedings and ap-
peared to be near collapse.
Dorr remained calm as the state
demanded the death penalty in
qualifying prospective jurors, but
turned his gaze downward at spe-
ciflc mention of the electric chair.
BY twist of fate and a crowded
courtroom the O'Brien family and
the Dorr family found themselves
sitting in the same seat. Neither
side appeared to notice the other.

Judge Travis Agrees to
Work Quickly in Effort to
Avert Civil War;
ARGUMENTS ARE HEARD
Controller Seeks to EnioIn
Candidates From Taking
MayoraIty Office.

Predictions that civil war" will
prevail in Gary, Jan. 6, unless the
state supreme court acts to solve
the situation, today brought as
surances from Chief Justice Julius
Travis that immediate decision villa
be made as to the mayorship rights
of three contestants for the Office.
AS result of a petition for tempo
rary injunction, filed by attorneys
for Henry G. Hay, controller OF
Gary, who is acting mayor, since
resignation of Floyd E. Williams,
Republican, the supreme court today
began hearing arguments on the
appeal of Hay from Lake county
circuit court decision.
Hay sought to enjoin both r. O.
johnson, Republican mayor-elect,
and Emmett N. White, Democrat,
defeated mayoralty candidate, from
taking over the office Jan. 6.
War Is Predicted
The Lake county court denied
Hays application for injunction and
he filed an appeal to the supreme
court. Today his attorneys filed
application for a temporary injunc-
ton, predicting civil war" in Gary
Jan. 6.
The petition declared that john
son and White supporters were
planning to seize the Office by force
and that chaotic conditions would
result.
johnson, elected by $500 pluralisS.
is opposed by White on grounds tina
his serving Of a federal prison term
on a liquor charge makes him in
eligible for the position under In
diana laws. johnson was pardoned
by President Coolidge and his claim
that the pardon restored his citizen
ship right was contested 5y White.
Acting Mayor Hay names both
Johnson and White in seeking the
injunction.

torneys for Hay that immediate re-
lief would be given by the supreme
court and arguments were started
on the appealed case. Hays at
torneys withdrawing the petition
for temporary injunctions when as
sured of action in the original cause.
During course of the arguments,
Justice Travis questioned validity of
the pardon issued by President
Coolidge to johnson, because the
pardon does not have the great seal
of the United States attached.
He questioned attorneys for White
as to alleged plans to seize the
mayors office. After some evasion
the attorneys declared their client
would do nothing Illegal"
