legitimate iaterests and rights Of
the public.
When the resolution was adopted
without a dissenting vote, it drew
from Walter Myers, one Of the can
didates, the comment:
mot having to disavow machine
connection and repudiate boss con-
troll. we can study seriously the civic
problems of Indianapolis while our
opponents are so busy telling every
body that their hands are not tied
by Coffin, that I doubt If they have
heard of the transportation plan"
Recently Republican legislative
candidates held a rump session at
which they declared their hands
we're not tied by any person and
repudiated Coffin control. Nothing
in their resolutions pointed to any
consideration of the transportation
problems.
Democratic candidates declared
they had been questioned as to their
attitude on the proposed plan and
were unable to take any position
because of the complexity of the
proposition and the fact that it will
require much study.
The reorganization plan will come
under the perview Of the legislature
because an enabling act is re-
uuired.

a posse Of state and county officers,
formed after the Merchants Ma
tional bank at Battle Greek was
held I'D and State Trooper Burke,
"a, was slain while attempting to
arrest the bandits.
Sighted by the posse near Howe,
Martin and Gallagher attempted to
escape in their automobile, which
skidded from the road and over
turned. They were unhurt.
Members Of the posse opened fire.
Gallagher surrendered after Martin
shot in the leg, dropped to the
ground.
Ignoring the fact the arrests were
made in Indiana, the officers rushed
the men across the state line, and
it was said thai both confessed in
the Jail here that they had robbed
the bank and killed Burke.
All the money taken from the
bank, about $4,000, was found in the
wreckage of their automobile.
Burke was on duty near Sturgis,
Mich, when he received radio re-
port of the Battle Greek holdup.
A few minutes later he stopped
Martin and Gallagher and tried to
question them.
Drawing a pistol, Gallagher, police
said, ordered Burke to get in the
machine. Instead, Burke started to
fight and was shot.

How many have exclaimed: How
glad I am that 1 put Konjola to
the test" Konjola works swiftly,
all its ingredients working together
to cleanse and stimulate the ailing
organs, and to rid the system of
poisons and impurities. See what
Konjola did for Mrs. Mary Sutton,
1861 Thalman avenue, indianapolis.
Then talk your health troubles over
with the Konjola Man at the Hook
Dependable Drug Store, Illinois and
Washington streets, and hear what
Konjola has done. Then profit by
experience like that of Mrs. Sutton,
who said:
Even though I am rs years of
age, I feel that there are many
happy years ahead of me since
Konjola relieved me of my ills.
About eighteen months ago I had
a general breakdown I could not
eat without getting sick. My stom-
ach bloated terribly, and I had
severe heart palpitations and
smothering spells. My kidneys were
weak and I had to get up several
times every night. Various treat
ments that I tried did no good.
Konjola gave me my first relief, and
I surely was miserable until Konjola
relieved me. This fine medicine
quickly ended all my health trou-
bles, and I have only the highest
praise for Konjola."
Konjola works quickly; one does
not have long to wait for results,
but a complete course OF from six
to eight bottles is recommended for
best results.
The Konjola man is at the Hook
Dependable Drug Store. Illinois and
washington streets, Indianapolis,
where daily he is meeting the public
and explaining the merits Of Kon-

The new licenses have been re-

small enough to be carried without

PITIFUL SUM IS
SPENT FOR AID
OF POOR FARM
Less Than $4,000 Is Used
Over 4-Year Period,
Records Show.

Less than $1,000 has been spent
over a period Of four years to keep
the Marion county infirmary build
ings in a habitable condition,
study Of records of Indiana Tax
payers Association revealed today.
This sum, clearly picturing efforts
county commissioners have made
to alleviate crowded and insani-
tary conditions of long standing, in
cludes separate expenditures of $500
in 1923 and 1880, plus another i'm
provement' in 1929 of $4,000 worth
Of paint, records show.
Equipment improvements at the
infrmary over this period, accord
ing to records, amount to $4,000,
providing in most instances for in
crease of volume of facilities rather
than quality.
$40 Crowded Into Plant
The Times recently disclosed that
37O male inmates have been crowded
into a building originally intended
to house 200, and as result, the
dilapidated mems quarters were con-
demned by State Fire Marshal AL
fred M. Hogston.
To revanp general living condi-
tions at the inflrmary, County Com
missioner John E. Shearer today
followed a suggestion of Criminal
Judge James A. Collins, announc-
ing plans were being considered to
relocate the poor farm.
Under Collins plan, commissioners
would sell the present site and build
ings. purchasing additional ground
at the Marion County Hospital for
the Insane at Julietta, to bring the
two institutions under joint man
agement.
Shearer stepped forward today
with his latest solution of the
lamentable poor farm situation, ap-
proving Collins plan.
Doubt Shearer's Sincerity
Persons familiar with operation
of the commissioners office doubt
Shearer's sincerity in offering either
solution. AS board president,
Shearer announced last week the
board was prepared to build six new
buildings at the present infrmary
site. Ordinance calling for a $198,-
600 bond issue to finance this pro-
gram was to have been considered
by the county council Friday.
Councilmen also must act on
Hogston's order to vacate the mems
quarters within the next three
months. Commissioners to date
have taken no definite steps to COM
ply with the vacation order.
Commissioner George Snider to-
day said the board had not dis
cussed relocating the poor farm at
Julietta. Snider claims he has been
the only active force on the board
to bring about poor farm relief.

LAW CREATING TWO

Separato Grant, Delaware Benches
Ruled Legal without Signing.

Ruled Legal without Signing.
Indiana's supreme court has up
held the creation of separate SUI
perior courts for Grant and Della
ware counties by ruling Monday
that the 1929 act creating the
courts became a law, despite the
Governors failure to sign the bill.
Unsigned bills, handed down dur
ing the last two days of legisla-
tive session, automatically are We
toed. The question in the court case
was whether Sunday counts in the
last two-day ruling and the Su-
preme court held that it does.
This ruling put the bill in the
Governors hands in time so that
he was required either to veto or
sign it, the court held. His failure
to take either action within five
days after the bills receipt makes
it a law, the high court ruled.

The validity of the science Ut

bert M. Campbell, charged with
the murder.
Backed by Court
It was only in June Of this
year that the Illinois Supreme
Court. hearing an appeal in the
case of three men sentenced to
death and awaiting execution,
handed down its important ruling
on the subject of balliStics and
gave its approval to the expert
ness of Colonel Goddard.
In making the appeal before
the Illinois Supreme Court, coun-
sci for the condemned men raised
the point that Colonel God
dard's testimony was novel and
not within the field Of expert
testimony and not admissible un-
