AIRPORT BILL CHANGED
Senate Eliminates Clause Prohib-
iting Commercial Contracts.

The much rewritten $4,000 appro-
priation bill for Mars Hill airport,
which has passed the house, has
been amended in the senate to
eliminate the provision prohibiting
state officials from signing future
contracts for commercial flying.
Senator Robert L. Moorhead, IN
dianapolis attorney and member of
the state armory board, made the
amendment, asserting mo one can
forsee what the needs eventually
may be-" The part striker out does
not effect contracts in force at
present and originally was added to
prevent any commercial competition
between Mars Hill and the new
$3.50, 900 municipal airport.

RELIGION BARS
ABLE BANKER
COURT CHOSE
Death Threats to Judge and
ReceiverShip Appointee
at KendaHviIIe.

By Times Special
KENDALLVILLE, Ind, Feb. 25.-
A situation has developed here that
is a reminder of the days when the
Ku-Klux Khan was rampant in In
diana.
Because of his religion, Abraham
B. Mier, Ligonier banker, has been
forced to resign as receiver for the
closed Noble County Bank and Trust
Company of Kendallville. Mier and
Judge A. F. Biggs of the Whitley
Noble circuit court have each re-
ceived a letter, apparently written
by the same person, woman, in
which death was threatened if Mier
was retained as receiver.
Many Sign Petitions
Shortly after his appointment
week ago 'AIier came to Kendallville
to confer with citizens committee
acting for, the bank, and headed by
E. E. McCray, in regard to the
banks affairs, and after the meet
ing declared he would not take the
receivership 'for all the money in
the United States" While he was
here petitions were circulating con-
tanning a request that he quit, and
it is said 400 signers were obtained
in less than two hours.
Ability Recognized
Mier then conferred with Judge
Biggs, stating his desire not to take
the post, and his resignation was
accepted.
Following his resignation, Mier
said:
"The citizens committee of Ken
dallville which called on me, and
those with whom I came in contact
with, agreed that I was one of the
outstanding bankers of northern
Indiana, that I was a man of good
character, and that the only rea-
son they protested my appointment
was due to my religion. I regret
very much they took this attitude in
the matter. However, I have no i'll
feeling against them despite this
conviction, and ask for nothing in
return. have always had this en-
tire community at heart and had I
retained the position to which I was
appointed, would have done my
utmost to settle the affairs of the
Noble County Bank and Trust Com
pany to the best Of my ability, and
with the best interests of the de-
positors and creditors in mind
