State Supreme Court
Rules School Boards
Control Own Budgets
Virginia Supervisors
Cont Interfere After
Funds Are Appropriated
By the Associated Press.

6J tne AsSOClateQ FreSs.
RICHMOND, Jan. 25.-The right
OF Virginia school boards to retain
control of their budgets was upheld
by the State Supreme Court of Ap-
peals yesterday in affirming a judg-
ment against the Chesterfield Coun-
ty Board of Supervisors.
The opinion by Trial Judge ].
Garland Jefferson was adopted as
the opinion of the higher court
which made no comments of its
own.
The case Of the County Board of
Supervisors versus the School Board
involved the right Of the supervisors
to alter the figures supplied by the
School Board in its budget.
School Boards Power Defined.
Judge Jefferson held that the
Board of Supervisors has the right
to fix the amount of money to be
raised by local taxation for school
purposes, but after the supervisors
have appropriated money for
schools, "the exclusive right to de-
termine how this money shall be
spent is in the discretion of the
School Board, so long as they stay
within the limits set up in the
budget"
Expenditure of school funds has
been the source of controversy be-
tween boards of supervisors and
school boards in several Virginia
counties. The action of the Supreme
Court yesterday rules out in effect
any changing of school budgets by
the supervisors.
The Supreme Court, in another of
10 opinions handed down yesterday,
said fair trial was given Otis
Puckett, convicted of involuntary
manslaughter in the fatal shooting
lof William Starry of Baltimore
while the two were squirrel hunting
in Appomattox County in November,
1912. The case was appealed from
the Appomattox County Circuit
Court.
Dealt With Leniently.
THE accused has had fair trial, Z"
Lie CouTC SAID, ana, IN our opinion,
has been leniently dealt with by the
jury"
Puckett, who was sentenced to five
years imprisonment, contended Mr..
Starry's death was accidental.
In our opinion" the appellate
court said. "if the jury had found
the accused guilty of murder, the
verdict would be sustained. BY some
strange process of reasoning, how
ever, the jury came to the conclusion
that the accused was guilty of in
voluntary manslaughter. -. Tt is
well that the law, after framing
definitions and formulating rules Of
conduct. should allow to courts and
Juries certain latitude and dis
cretion.'

saying the decrease would be

Gillette Plans Probe
OF Alleged Blocking
Of Blended Gasoline
"A. P. Photo From Signal Corps.
By the Associated Press.

~ thc AssoSihteu TTtSS.
Acting on complaints that petro-
leum interests are retarding the de-
velopment of blended gasoline utiliz-
ing grain and wood alcohols, Sen
tor Gillette, Democrat, of Iowa dis
closed plans today for an exhaustive
congressional investigation.
Senator Gillette declared that pre-
liminary inquiries by the Agriculture
Subcommittee Of which he is chair
man indicated American petroleum
companies belittled the alcohol blend
in this country, while '1auding its
merits abroad"
The committee, seeking to stimu-
late production Of alcohol from farm
and wood products to meet synthetic
rubber and other war needs, has run
up against what Senator Gillette
called the antagonism of "monopo-
llstic interests" during the two years
Of its existence.
'1t is interesting to note that some
OF the large petroleum interests
have consistently ridiculed the use
Of alcohol blended with gasoline as
motor fuel when some of these
same companies were the principal
buyers of Polish alcohol from the
Polish government before the Ger
man invasion" he told a reporter.
Asserting additional funds would
be sought to continue the overall
inquiry during 1914, Senator Gill
lette asserted it had forced expan-
sion Of the synthetic rubber pro-
gram through the use of grain
alcohols to supplement petroleum
processes.
"The antagonism of large groups
OF industry against the use of grain
and wood sources for synthetic rub
Der and motor fuel have been per-
sistent and will continue" he de-
clared.
I'VE feel this opposition is mott
waited by selfish purposes designed
to control the huge markets for
these products monopolistically."
