SKIP ELECTION
TRIAL OPENED
Moore's Suit to Compel
Holding of City Vote
Heard by Cox.

Ringing on the Interpretation of
the states power to act in municipal
affairs, hearing on constitutionality
of the skip election" law, passed by
the 1888 legislature, opened today
before Circuit Judge Earl R. Cox.
The suit was brought by Boynton
j. Moore, former city councilman
and candidate for mayor, against
state and city officials, to compel
holding of the 1888 city election and
primary.
Contention of the defense, pre-
sented by Charles E. Cox, former
appellate judge, that "cities are
creatures of the state" was met by
counter argument from Clinton H.
Givan. former county judge, plain
tiff's attorney, that the states power
is limited to public safety and
health.
Court was to resume at 2, with
Givan speaking for another half
hour.
Judge Earl R. Cox said that he
could not determine whether his
ruling could be given at conclusion
of the arguments. If necessary to
give the matter further considera-
ton, the ruling will be given Satur-
day he said. ss...-
THE supreme court mas held that
the constitution does not give an
inherent right to VOTE" Charles Cox
declared. Citizens have only such
rights under specific provisions of
statutes made for that purpose.
1.-THE power of the court to over
throw acts of the general assembly
is a most solemn function, and
should be used only when constitu-
tional rights are being violated. The
law being questioned today only is a
supplementary measure to the laws
already on the statute books"
I'VE do not dispute that the gen.
eral assembly can abolish city boun-
diaries and the city government, :"
Givan declared, "but we do say that
as long as the city does remain, the
state must respect it's rights"

WILSON OPENS
PROBE OF BANK
Personal Investigation Will
Be Made Into Affairs of
State Savings.

Following conference Wednes-
day at which records of the de-
funct State Savings and Trust Com
pany we're inspected, Prosecutor
Herbert E. Wilson announced today
that he would conduct a personal
probe of charges brought by Circuit
Judge Earl R. Cox regarding the
bank and its receivership.
Cox said today that additional
records would be turned over to
Criminal Judge Frank P. Baker Fri
day. 1t is expected that Baker will
summon the grand jury and request
an investigation.
Letters written to Baker and VIII
son by Cox charged irregularities in
handling of the banks funds and
followed disclosures to Cox by K. I.
Hamilton, auditor for the depositors
committee.
Wilson was closeted with Cox and
Mrs. Ida Broo, accountant, who au-
dited the records and uncovered in
formation regarding statements
given by bank officers to the state
banking department.
1t was understood that Mrs. Broo
discussed with Wilson a series of
notes totaling $125,O0O which were
not listed as liabilities of the bank
in statements to examiners.
Information regarding a sum of
$4,000 on deposit in the Fletcher
American National bank also was
disclosed by Mrs. Broo. 1t is charged
that the funds were carried as an
asset of the State Savings although,
in reality, a liability of subsidiary
concern.
Other charges made by represen-
tatives of a depositors' committee
relate to refunded commissions and
an alleged deal in stock of the
Roosevelt building, Illinois and
Washington streets.
Special hearing in open court of
the charges from the depositors will
be conducted Wednesday by Cox.
Witnesses will be subpenaed for
questioning regarding the commits
sions and an abandonment of funds
by Eben Wolcott, former bank re-
ceiver.

VAN NUYS TO
VOTE YES ON
PAYING BONUS
Indiana Senator, in Formal
Statement, Says He'll
Keep Pledge.
CALLS POSITION SOUND
Recent Developments Are
Cited to Uphold
His Stand.
BY WALKER STONE
Times staff Writer

WASHINGTON, April 27.-Sena-
tor Frederick Van Nuys of Indiana
today announced that he would
carry out his campaign pledge to
vote for cash payment of the SOL
dierS bonus.
Van Mugs issued a formal state
ment without waiting to find out
what position the Roosevelt admin
1stration will take regarding the
bonus issue, revived Wednesday
when Senator Arthur Robinson, In
diana Republican, submitted his
bonus payment amendment to the
farm determination bill now before
the senate.
L shall support the amendment
to pay the so-called soldiers bonus
out OF the treasury notes provided
for by the Thomas amendment to
the farm relief bill Prior to the
election, I took very decided stand
In favor of the bonus. Recent de-
velopmentS have shown that the
reasons assigned for my position
were sound.
Aside from the fact that such
payment would discharge moral
and legal obligation. at time when
such payment is almost imperative.
this action also would result in the
expansion in the volume of our cur
rency which now almost universally
is recognized as a necessary condi-
ton precedent to higher price levels,
greater business activity, and solu-
ton of the unemployment problem"
he declared.
These arguments were assigned
by me during the campaign and
later developments have shown their
validity. I shall, of course, support
this measure, and have been work
ing among my colleagues in the sem
ate for its adoption"
