AROUSE STUDENTS
Strike Threatened When
Two of SmithviIIe Faculty
Hear Warrants.

By Ohited Press
BLOOMINGTON, Ind, Feb. IA
A school tangle involving three
teachers and a township trustee,
was scheduled for the first episode
in the untangling process today,
with Harry Hays, principal, and j.
K. Knight, teacher, in the Smith
vile high school, in court here on
charges of provoking to commit as
sault.
Hays and Knight had refused to
give up their posts at the command
of Jewett Tatuna, Clear Greek town
ship trustee, when Tatum's success
sors arrived. They charged that
they were victims of a political
frameup, and that Tatum does not
have the final decision in such mat
tiers.
According to Hays, the differences
originated when he insisted upon
dismissal of William Hopper, 40, an
instructor whom he said girl stu
dents had accused of making i'm
proper advances. Hopper finally
resigned. Charges Of a 16-year-old
girl student will be heard by a
grand jury.
Pupils at the Smithville school
arose in defense of Hays and
knight Friday when Sheriff Ray
Stephens of Monroe county came
to arrest the instructors. A STU
dent walkout was threatened, but
temporarily halted by intercession
Of Fred Anderson, basketball
coach.
Hays and knight were arraigned
and pleaded not guilty. Tatum
charged them with attempting to
provoke the successors he had sent
to the school, to the point where
they would resort to physical vio-
lence.
Both Hays and Knight said they
would retain their posts until dis
missed by w. v. Payne, county
superintendent of schools.
Payne is quoted as saying that
he would not take. sides in the
affair until court procedure was
ended unless the teachers asked
him to. -

nit any bank Or trust company to

Of another small loan bill pending.
Wilson declares he has been as
sured that while few banks in the
larger cities will be interested IN
lending money on household goods

companies will welcome such law.

borrows money, but also with bust

MADE
OVER DELAY OF
WET MEASURES
House Committee Accused
of Being DiIatory With
Two Bills.

widespread criticism was heard
today among members of the
general assembly Of the unusual
delay on the part Of the public
morals committee Of the house Of
representatives in reporting out the
two wet measures.
The Galloway -Egan bill calling
for repeal Of the Wright Bone dry
bill was introduced on Jan. IS and
almost a month elapsed before a
public hearing was held
Three weeks elapsed before the
same committee held a hearing on
the Monnig- Egan bill legalizing the
prescription and sale Of medicinal
whisky.
1t was expected by all members
that meeting OF the public morals
committee would be held Thursday
night to discuss the measures and
report the bills to the house Fri
day, but dilatory tactics were pur-
sued and the measures will come
up for consideration by the COM
mittee until Monday at 10 a. m.
Democrat Blamed
Blame for the unnecessary and
unusual delay is placed upon Rep
resentative Russell j. Dean Dem,
Marion), and members of the COM
nnittee have expressed their dissaS-
isfaction of his conduct in the mat
ter.
Those representatives conversant
with legislative procedure declare
the increased passage of time will
seriously handicap the considera-
ton of the matter by the senate.
If the bills are reported out Mon
day afternoon and are passed by
the end of the week, the senate will
Just have two weeks to consider and
act upon the measures.
Speaker in Protest
1t was learned that Speaker Wal
ter Myers demonstrated with Dean
over the unusual delay and the
house members had expected to
consider the matters Friday.
Dean, however, has not given heed
to the Speakers request for quick
action.
Many members term the length of
time the bills were held in COM
Inittee an effort to cause their death
without consideration.
The committee Monday also will
consider the Allardt bill legalizing
pari-mutuel betting in Indiana and
the Monnig- Kenney bill to set up a
state boxing commission.
