VINCENNES, March 5.-Selection

the French quarter at New Orleans"
Mr.. Guernsey said. But with the

ANCIENT POSTER
ORDINANCE MAY
HAUNT POLITICS
Safety Board Permission
Necessary to Display
Candidates.
BY WILLIAM H. MGAUGHEY,
Times staff Writer

From the muSty law archives in
the city attorneys Office there
emerged today the ghost of an an
cient city ordinance that threatens
to haunt political candidates in the
coming primary.
Though the ordinance had been
lying dormant on the books for
years, James E. Deery, city attorney.
asserted that it might become a
powerful political weapon in the
hands Of future and less scrupulouS,
city administrations.
Even under the present admins
tration, it appears as a potential
legal threat, Mr.. Deery admitted.
For under the ordinance, it will be
possible to deprive political candi-
dates of one of their favorite de-
vices-the political poster.
In all political campaigns, space
on every available shanty hitching
post and telephone pole is utilized
by politicians who tack up signs
proclalming their virtues to the vot-
ers, MIR. Deery explained.
And all the while, the city at
torney continued, most of these
candidates have been violating a
city ordinance that makes them
liable to fine of 500, if prose-
cuted.
Under provisions of the long
forgotten ordinance, the person who
tacks up his poster must have OBJ
tanned beforehand the permission of
the property owner, and of the
safety board, Mr.. Deery explained.
The city attorney specialized at
length on the possibility Of ruth
less safety boards granting permits
sion to some candidates to hang
their posters for the voters to see,
and prosecuting those who failed
to obtain the boards sanction.
Don't be surprised" said Mr..
Deery, eff at some future date you
see upon the telephone poles Of our
fair city the cognizances of candi-
dates all of one political faith"
And, he added, I'VE may live to
see all the candidates of the oppo-
site political faith flung into jail for
lack of 500 to pay their fines"

prObed by The Times.
Case 1867 was a ward of the old
Marion National bank. He is still
legally insane, but has been dis
charged from the veterans sani-
tarium at Marion.
In September, 1927, he went on a
furlough from the hospital to visit
relatives in COalpOrt, Pa.
While there he was arrested for
carrying deadly weapons and dis
orderly conduct.
The guardian, the old Marion Ma
tiOnal bank, sent Patrolman CLANCY

ment, to Pennsylvania to return
Case 1867 to Indiana
According to a statement of eX-
penses for that trip and for which

Case 1867 gained considerable
nOtoriety in that in 1881 the United |
States veterans bureau denied him |
compensation after ten years of |
paying him 500 for total disability
with the exception of the last two
years when his compensation was
reduced to $40 monthly.
The governments excuse was that |
although Case 1867 had served in
the United States army March 26, |
1914 to April 25, 1918, he was a self
admitted alien enemy at the time
of that servitude.

clared that he was a subject of |

 Two Ordinances Introduced
 Two new ordinances were intro duced last night and passed their first readings. One, presented by M. s. Whittier, representing the Chamber of Commerce and the Radio Club, seeks to establish a system of control for radio inter- ference which has presented a vex- ing problem for a long time. It provides for the appointment of Radio Inspector, purchase of an interference locator, registra- tion of radio sets and equipment, payment of a yearly radio regis tration fee of $1, and certain regu- lations making it possible to clear up sources of interference when To- cated
 The second ordinance to be pre- sented found Councilman George B. Rice in the role of pleader for boys and their dogs. He wanted the canine license fee reduced to S1 for all sexes, instead of the pres ent $6 for females and $4 for males. He argued strongly but in the end accepted a compromise of S4 for females and $2 for males.
 Hits Sidewalk Displays
 MT. Rice also opened warfare on sidewalk displays in the business district. He demanded that all dis plays be moved back off the pub- lie streets. The existing ordinance permits display stands not to ex- ceed 18 inches in width on the streets. The matter was carried over until the next regular meet ing.
 Starr Hill residents, in a petition presented last night, asked for per- manent street improvements in that section, particularly opening up the block between Fifth Street and Kennedy Street. This is inn portant, it was said, to relieve con- gestion at the Sixth Street corner.
 Mayor Goldstein has already begun some improvements in the district and it was said it was un- derstood the necessary relief would be furnished this summer.
