STATE BOND SALE
TO AID DESTITUTE
Illinois Raises $18,750,000
to Provide Funds for the
Unemployed.
BY OWEN L. SCOTT.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CHICAGO, February 10.-The sale
today Of s1s, $4,000 per cent revenue
notes by the State of Illinois, marked
the entry of this commonwealth into
the field of direct relief for the unem-
ployed
Until now private charity and funds
from solvent local treasures have suf-
feed to care for the destitute. How
ever. the breakdown OF the financial
machinery of the City of Chicago and
the urgent needs of the $4,000 unem
ployed here overwhelmed private agen-
cies and forced State participation.
Bankers Demands.
1t was significant that bankers re-
fused to support a bond issue for relief
unless backed by State credit. although
the city and county were ready to
pledge their share of the State gaSo-
line tax to retire the issue
AS 1t is, the notes are direct State
obligation. issued in anticipation of
and payable from general State ad
valorem tax now levied as part of
the 1882 tax levy The issue will be
retired after December l, 1892. with
an issue Of general credit bonds. con-
t!ngent upon approval Of the voters
the issue, still a State obligation, will
be retired from gasoline tax payments.
The present notes will care for re-
lief needs only through the Winter and
Spring months. After that, lacking a
business revival which would absorb a
large percentage of the unemployed,
further provision will be necessary.
Chicago raised more than $4,000, 900
through private charity to care for
relief needs this Winter. Now this fund
has been exhausted, even though no
rent payments were made after January
and though allotmentS to individual
families were cut to rs Per cent of
the previously accepted minimum char
ity requirements. An urgent appeal
went up to the State Legislature and
third special session was called to
act on the problem, resulting in the
bond issue today.
Wisconsin Appeal.
Thus far Illinois has considered no
in meeting its relief needs. Wisconsin
an appeal.
Chicago's financial difficulties appear
no nearer a solution than for months
past, even though the State Legislature
has provided a reform of tax machinery.
A court decision holding tax levies in
1923 and 1929 to be fraudulent has up
set the whole revenue situation and real
clariac2tion is hardy to BE- expected
until the Stete Supreme Court can pass
on the issue.
A State income tax law has been
V, ted to take effect July l, but that, too,
will be attacked in court.

UNUSUAL CASE
FILED AGAINST
FEDERAL JUDGE
Railroad Would Bar Further
Proceedings Before
Thomas Slick.
By Times Special

By Times Special
FIT. WAYNE, Ind, Jan. 9.-Fed-
eral Judge Thomas w. Slick is a
defendant in a unique suit fled in
the United States circuit court of
appeals in Chicago, seeking to en-
join further proceedings by the feo-
eral court here in the damage suit
of Harry Yoho against the Chesa-
peake 81 Ohio railroad. The suit
against the judge was filed by the
railroad which seeks a writ Of pro-
hibition.
Yoho is seeking damages for in
juries suffered while in the employ
of the railroad, which is Virginia
corporation. The injuries were re-
ceived in West Virginia.
Recently counsel for the defense
filed a motion with Judge Slick ask.
ing that the case be transferred to
the federal courts of West Virginia
or Virginia. The motion was over
ruled, Judge Slick holding that suits
under the safety appliance and en-
ployers liability acts could be filed
either in the federal district where
an accident occurs, the one in which
the plaintiff resides, or one in which
the defendant is engaged in busi-
ness.
1t is believed the action against
Judge Slick is without precedent in
federal courts, although resorted to
rather frequently in state courts.

This action was taken by the town

scalp wound.
Baldwin was suspended the next

his action, declaring a shot was di-
rected at him first from an auto
mobile in which Lyon and four other
youths were riding. 1t is said they
were using the cars exhaust to
make explosions in celebrating the

A few days ago a group of citi-

asserting that he is addicted to the
use of liquor and was at least par

Boal and Sam Daugherty, charged
with criminally attacking a 19-year-
old indianapolis girl, will be tried in
Hendricks circuit court here-Boal

widely acquainted. She was guest

legged she was abducted in an auto

Circuit Judge Stevenson intends
to ask the county council to make
a special appropriation with which
to pay special counsel to- assist in
prosecution of the case.
Conviction will entail a minimum
penalty of fifteen years in prison
for each defendant. The maximum
term is forty-one years. In the case
of Boal, it is said it would be pos
Sible to file charge under the ha-
bitua1 criminal act, conviction of
