WASHINGTON, Aug. Rhode

blast of adverse ballots and sent
soaring Republican hopes for next
years presidential election.
The First District, typical of the
Eastern. industrial area which was
roaring for Roosevelt in 1892 and
1884, elected Charles F. Risk. Re-

the House of Representatives. 1t
was the first test of New Deal
strength since the Democratic sweep
of 1884.
Democrats refuse to cOncede eX-

geographical split within the organ

gests that the New Deal must bind
the agricultural South and West Sc
Cureiy next year to withstand pos
sible trouble in the industrial North

The outcome is no better than a
straw in the political wind. But in
Rhode Island the issue of support or
opposition to the New Deal was pre-
ClSely defined. Political observers
interpret the Republican victory as
a reverse for the Roosevelt Admin

Cool breezes Sprang up out of no.

an earlier fear that the day would
break the seasons record.
Even SO, one prostration was re-

says.
Will Jones, 80, Negro, 1886 Cliff

today for heat prostration. He was
overcome at W. Michigan-st and

Yesterday the temperature
reached 95.4 degrees at 3:13 in the

The heat record of the year was
set last week at 966.
During the last week over the
entire state, the temperature has
been consistently seven degrees
above the normal for this time of
the year, Mr.. Arlington reported
in his weekly summary today.
While the weather may not have
been exactly what the city dweller
would have most enjoyed, it was ex-
actly what the farmers of the state
needed. They now appear to be
catching up on their work.

States Commissioner Howard S.

learned from a nlgn Official
source. Since April l, Baker
has been paid 1857. For the
first three months he drew
no county salary. In that period he
was doing private work as legis-
latiye representative.
1T is evident" Mr.. Cosgrove
wrote, that there is considerable
doubt as to the legality of the APP
pointment of an investigator by
this court"
Mr.. Cosgrove's notice to Mr.. Gros-
sart was expected to cause the
County Council to rescind It's trans
fer of $500 to a Criminal Court
investigator fund.
The council had authorized the
transfer after Criminal Judge Frank
P. Baker requested it.
At the Statehouse it was said if
Mr.. Grossart continues TO pay
Bakers salary as investigator, action
will be taken against Mr.. GroSsart'S
official bond.
Such a proceeding, however, would
not be instituted until the official
audit next year, it was EXPLAINED.
Follows Times Disclosures
Mr.. Eosgrove's warning to the
auditor came as a result of dis
closures by The indianapolis Times
that Judge Baker had appointed
Joel A. Baker in what appeared to
be defiance of Indiana laws.
1t was shown that while Baker
had been appointed as proba ton Of
flcer and investigator he never had
taken or passed the examinations
required by law.
1t also was shown there is no
direct authority in law for the ap-
pointment by Judge Baker of an
investigator
The Times disclosures subsequent
ly were upheld in an opinion given
by Attorney-General Philip Lutz Jr.
Mr.. Lutz. in a lengthy opinion to
Mr.. CoSgrove, said he had been I'M
able to find any direct authority for
appointment of an investigator.
Since the attorney generals opin-
ion was given, Auditor GroSsart au-
thorized another monthly payment
on Bakers $1,000 salary. Judge Baker
has included $1,000 in the proposed
1886 budget for investigators.
This sum, if Mr.. CoSgrove's ruling
is observed, should be stricken from
the budget by the County Council.
Judge Baker Out of City
Today's ruling was not limited to
salary payments to Joel A. Baker.
n CoSgrove's letter to the auditor
said field examiners would be di-
rected to charge ANY sums paid for
Investigations under the title of
Criminal Court investigator.
The salary of Detective Sergeant
John Dalton, assigned to Criminal
Court as an Investigator, is paid by
indianapolis, and is not affected by
the ruling.
Judge Baker, who has refused to
discuss the situation, is out of the
city on vacation, and could not
be reached for comment.
