army convened in a staff meeting

the next move in an apparently
critical situation

continue all today and tomorrow.
The extent of japanese demands
on China for q change of regime
which would end alleged banditry
and anti-Japanese activities in the

Shek. head OF the Chinese national
government to be the principal
cause of trouble.
"Chiang Kai-Shek has already
undermined ChinaS trustworthi-
ness" he said. He still continues
in power
In the event that China cannot
find a real leader, she must change
her policies and accept japanese

1t would seem a foregone
conclusion that Principal Adj
dington will retain his post.
When, earlier in the Southport
controversy, it was learned that
Trustee Hohlt had offered Mr.. Cur
tbs a contract for next year. Perry
Township citizens met with Mr..
Hohlt and protested, not because of
his selection of Mr.. Curtis, but be-
cause of the proposed summary de-
motion or discharge of Mr.. Adding
ton, who has been principal there
nine years.
At that time Mr.. Hohlt said that
he would abide by the vote Of the
parents on the fate of Mr.. Adding
ton, provided that after Mr.. Curtis
had signed the contract he could be
induced to break it.
With his announcement today,
Mr.. Curtis puts the matter squarely
upon the referendum, which is be-
ing arranged by the Perry Township
Civic School Association, formed at
a mass meeting last night in the
Southport High School Auditorium.
Until his announcement this aftgv
ernoon, Mr.. Curtis had not allowed
himself to be drawn into the contro-
versy in any way.

A tiff between Criminal Judge
Frank P. Baker and Attorney Clyde
Karrer this afternoon had resulted
in Miss Jean Marlowe, defendant in
an appealed case from Municipal
Court on charges of prostitution, be-
ing placed under $4,000 bond.
Miss Marlowe and Miss Helen La

Mr.. Karrer today claimed that the
police entered the apartment of the

Il am getting to believe that po-
lice do not need a search warrant
to enter such places" Mr. Baker
answered.
Mr.. Karrer asked suspension of
the days in the sentence but the
judge refused.
Let them take what they get in
municipal court" he said.
Mr., Karrer then demanded a jury

the judge at first agreed, and then

WEISS ASKS COUNTY
Be ONE-TAX UNIT
Senator to Go Before State
Committee Today.

Suggestion that the Joint Legisla-
tive Tax Committee recommend to
the Legislature consolidation of all
Marion County and Indianapolis
governmental units into one central
unit was to be made to the commit
tee this afternoon by Senator Jacob
Weiss.
Under the plan contemplated by
Senator Weiss, only the schools
would be excepted from the merger.
No suggestion was to be made by
the Senator as to the form to be
taken by the central governmental
unit.
Townships in the county would
be- abolished, except for separate tax
levies, and the entire county would
be governed by the central unit.
Advocates of the plan point out
that it would tend to reduce gov
ernmental costs in the county
through reduction in governmental
jobs and duplication Of effort by the
present several political units.
Because many of the township
county and city Offices are provided
for in the state Constitution, a con-
stitutional amendment might be re-
quired to place the plan in effect.

son, she caught him red-handed
with this woman, what did he say?
He said, Let's go out to the farm at
Traders Point She went out there.
And it has been condonement after
condonement throughout her mar
ried life.
LAS we ring down the curtain in
this case we are ready to abide by
any decision your honor may think
is right without entering into any
agreement. And I hope that the
more than 20 years of married life
of this woman, with one who has
lived a life Of fraud and betrayal
will not reap its final victim" Mr..
Matson said.
Homer Elliott, attorney for Mr..
Perry, in his closing statement,
charged, The truth about it, your
honor, is that both of these people
have lived beyond their means.
They've been living on a millionaire
scale"
They'll have to change that after
the divorce" interposed Judge
Cause.

Swimming the purported grounds
for divorce in an oral plea, the act
ual testimony having been heard in
private, Frederick E. Matson, coun-
sci for Mrs. Perry, said; He came
to her from time to time about get
ting into trouble with women. She
Staked 20 years Of her married life
on this man."
"All that she has wanted"
charged Mr.. Matson, lis to have
her married life with some sense
of decency. He told her of an af-
fair with a woman. Then he went
to church with her and they sat in
church and he went through even
this mummery to show her that he
would turn over a new leaf.
Then what did he do? He took
her out and showed her the ground
of that farm home he was building
A building built for what? Built for
and used as love-nest," he
charged.
And now they, his attorneys,
come in here whimpering, whining
and crying and say it is impossible
for Mr.. Perry to give her as much
as $500, 0o0," he said.

by Gov. McNutt.
The conference is expected to
speed decision in the long pending
United States marshalShip scrap
wherein Senator Minton has nomi-
mated Richard little Dick Wern-
ecke, Terre Haute, and Senator
VanNuys has nominated Fred Bays,
Sullivan anti-McNutt leader.
Having blasted poor relief admin
istration in Indiana and thus in
creased the differences between
himself and the Governor, Senator
VanNuys later exonerated Wayne
Coy, state FERA director, and at
tributed the increase in administra-
ton costs to Harry L. Hopkins,
FERA administrator, thus mourning
the disfavor of the national Admin
iStration.
Mr.. VanNuys also has voted
against President Roosevelt on such
issues as the defeated McCarrin
prevailing wage amendment to the
Work Relief bill.
So it appears likely that from now
on the McNutt organization will
have the Democratic National Ad-
ministration support. The Presi-
dent is reported to have compli-
mented Gov. McNutt on his Works
Relief program, designed to employ
10000 persons from relief rolls for
a one-year period beginning July /.
The Indiana plan likewise met
with favor from Mr.. Hopkins, who is
to head the works-progress division
of the new Works-Relief setup.
Mr.. Coy, who returned to Indiana
with Gov. McNutt last night, ex-
planned that the $8,500,000 monthly
figure suggested by the Governor
would pay not only for Works-Re-
lief, but materials, rural rehabilita-
ton, CCC camps, roads and grade
separations throughout the state.

and $4,000 ana, department store
bills ranging as high as $4,000 were
argued by Mr.. Perrys attorneys as
showing excessive amounts spent by
him on Mrs Perry.
A gift of $4,000 was called to the
attention of Mrs. Perry's attorneys
by the defense counsel as showing
money given to her.
And that gift might be some
body else labeled as Mrs. Perry, ="
broke in Mr.. Matson.
During the oral arguments it was
declared by the defense counsel that
the Denison Hotel, property Of Mr..
Perry, had to be torn down because
taxes exceeded revenue.
1t was declared by Floyd Mattice
and Charles Jewett, defense at
torneys, that Mr.. Perry could not
hope to raise 100000 alimony with
in a few days or month.
THE decree will be held up to
give him an opportunity to pay the
alimony." explained Judge Cause.
Defense attorneys said the In
dianapolis ball club had lost money
for four years. They said Mr.. Perry
has to carry 100000 life insurance
to protect his credit background.

STATE MAY Get
500 MILLIONS
Indiana May Win Huge Cut
of Relief Funds, Says
MCNutt.

Indiana may be apportioned
$100,000,000 under the President S
Work Relief program, Gov. Paul v.
McNutt indicated this afternoon on
his return from Washington where
he conferred with Federal officials.
The Governor said he had re-
quested the huge allotment, adding
that there is a reasonable assump-
ton" that it will be granted.
If the sum is granted, it will be
used to provide jobs at about $50 a
month for about 10000 of the 1885,
900 men now on relief, the remain
ing $4,000 being taken care of by
direct relief.
Projects would include track ele-
walton in a number of cities, sewage
disposal plants and similar projects.
Asked about the possibility of q
special session of the Legislature, the
Governor said a session still is in
doubt, pointing out that the social
securities program, on which a spe-
cial session of the Indiana Legis-
lature would depend, is still in doubt,
and will not be decided by Congress
until near the end of the works pro-
gram.

asked us not to. But if he is fired
or denoted we will strike and we
will make the strike felt. and that
goes for the whole student body

ously delivered, was greeted with
shouts and cheers from large por-
ton of the student group which had
gathered in the auditorium side
seats to look on as their parents
took action to protect the position
of Mr. Addington and others of the

there and at his office up the road
it was said that he had a headache
and had gone home.

day not to strike, they prepared a
