STATE NORMAL
NEEDS SET OUT
BY PRESIDENT
Dr. W. W. Parsons Calls for
More Buildings and Teach
ers With Higher Pay.
PLANS ASSEMBLY PLEA
(This is the second of a series of three
articles deallnsr with the need* of higher
education in Indiana and shows the prob
lems confronting the State Normal
School.)
Special to The Times.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind., Dec. 15.—New
buildings, higher salaries for teachers,
and more teachers are absolutely neces
tary to the success of the Indiana State
Normal School here, and of ita branch at
Vlunete, Dr. W. W. Parsons, president
of the school, declared in discussing its
needs for the future. The Legislature
will be asked to make appropriations to
make these things possible.
“Conditions hare very greatly changed
in recent years," Dr. Parsons said, “last
ly greater demands are made upon tne
State Normal School than ever before.
Not only Is the school maintaining the
parent institution at Terre Haute, as in
former years, but It is also conducting an
cxtezsive branch or division at Mancie.
"The proceeds of the tax for the State
Normal School nre entirely Inadequate
to meet its presejit needs. In order to
told its teachers, salaries must be sub
stantially Increased, and to divide Its
student-body into classes of proper sixe,
many teachers snould be added to the
present teaching force, both at Terre
Haute and at Muncie.”
EACH SCHOOL
NEEDS MORE.
Dr. Parsons said several new buildings
are needed at each of the schools to
meet the urgent needs of a large student
body. He said an administration build
ing with an auditorium large enough to
seat the entire student body is needed
at Terre Haute. He said under present
conditions it is impossible to seat more
than one-half, or at most three-fifths, of j
the students and that many are thus be
ing denied the benefits of dally chapel
exercises and of lectures given the entire
school.
Dr. Parsons’ statement follows:
The school it also in need of new,
modern, well-equipped gymnasiums for
men and women. The present gymna
siums are in the basement "f one of
Its buildings and are poorly lighted and
ventilated, are of Insufficient siae and
not in any sense modern nor in harmony :
with the demands of modern physical
education.
Dormitories for men and women that
shall set a standard in price and ac- '
coinmodalions arc greatly needed.
TALKS ON SITUATION
AT MUNCIE. -
At the eastern division, at Mancie,
the school has only one large bul’dlng,
for school purposes. In addition. It has j
one dormitory for women, which accom
modates about seventy young women.
To carry on its work in an efficient
way the school needs immediately a j
larje fireproof library building, a science j
hall, a modern well-equipped gymnasium.
There exists at the eastern division, also, j
the same necessity for dormitories a* at;
the parent school at Terre Haute. The
attendance at the eastern division is
growing rapidly and steadily, ami. sit- i
uated as it is in the most populous dis- j
trlct of the State, It may reasonably be
expected that this division of the school
will Increase rupidly In Its attendance
from year to year. It has already out- .
grown its present quarters.
To pay the members of the faculties
living salaries rnd thus be able to retain )
them permanently as faculty members,
and to construct the building* which are 1
absolutely necessary to carry on the
school on the high place which it has '
heretofore maintained, will require a veij
substantial Increase in the income of
the institution. The law of 1313 fixed '
the rate at 7 cents on each SIOO of tax
able property In the State. The act of
1919 authorized and instructed the State
tax board to reduce the rate so that
the income would not be greater than In
the previous yeast-
Tbe board fixed this rate at 2 8-lu.
cents for the support of the three higher
State educational institutions. Os the pro
ceeds of this tax the Indiana State Nor
m?| School receives ohe-flfth.
It is estimated that in the year l'.L’l. '

Cleveland Judge Faces
Bench in Murder Case
Accused Instead of Presiding Justice in
Courtroom .
CLEVELAND. Dee. 15.—A1l the ele
ments of an absorbing mystery drama
promise to come to light In the second
degree murder trial here of Judge 'Wil
liam H. McGannon, chief justice of Cleve
land's municipal courts. It promises to
be the second and last act in the mystery
known to this part of the country as
“Who killed Harold Kagy?”
Ranking next to McGannon in interest
In the case Is Miss Maybel Neely, su at
tractive woman, whose testimony before
the county jury was said to have been
instrumental in the arrest of the judge.
John Joyce, a well-known political fig
ure, who was tried for the Kagy mur
der and acquitted, holds the spotlight
with the two leading characters.
MYSTERIOUS THIRD
MAN MENTIONED.
Kagy, a garage proprietor, was shot
and killed last May after an afternoon
spent with McGannon and Joyce. At
the Joyce trial there was repeated refer
ence to a mysterious third man on the
scene of the shooting of Kagy. Me-
Gannou testified he was not there when
the shot was fired. Joyce testified he him
self could not do the shooting, contend
ing he was leaning drunk and helpless
against a tree when Kagy fell with bis
fatal bullet wound.
Other witnesses said the third man re
sembled McGannon and one witness said
he was sure the sought-for man was
McGannon.
Interest centers about the motive in
the case. The Joyce trial failed to de
velop one. That a woman, and perhaps
two, will appear, seems certain. A vai
•
$230,000 will be received from this tax.
This amount is insufficient to meet the
current expenses of the institution, tak
ing no account of necessary new build
ings. If the tax were restored to 7 cents
on each SIOO, under the new appraise
ment of property in the State, the pro
ceeds of about SBOO,OOO per year wotyQ
enable the Institution to meet In fair
degree all of Its current expenses and
to carry out during the next five or ten
years a building program that would
give the State Normal School the rank
It once had as a training school for
teachers for the public schools of the
State.

P. O’Donnell criticized the unkind
fates that kept him waiting at the
church for Miss Catherine Riley of
Chicago, his betrothed, who failed to
appear at the altar. Rut he railed
at these same fates today.
O’Dounel! was made the defendant
tn a suit filed here by tt> Rluin Cor
poration seeking to collect $350. which
the corporation says O'Donnell owes
it for gowns he purchased for Miss
Riley. The suit charges that O'Doti
ne!l bought $475 worth of gowns and
that he paid only $l5O on them.

Judge McGannon is sitting at the bar
of justice as the accused in a courtroom
where he, for many years, sat in judg
ment and imposed sentence on hundreds
of breakers of the law. On the bench
facing him is Trial Judge Bermon, an
associate of tnany years, upon whom
will rest the duty of Imposing senteuce,
In case of conviction. Across the narrow
| table from McGannon are Prosecutor
i Raskin and his assistants, political and
! personal friends of the accused.

In the past they prosecuted numerous
criminals before him and today their
energies are bent to the task of jailing
him for life. McGannon Is 50 year* old.
six feet and one inch In height and
weighs about 250 pounds. He hHB
served on the bench for the last fifteen
years and won his elections rather
easily.
Powerful Influences are at work in
MoGannon’s behalf, Prosecutor Baskin
said. Baskin issued a statement several
•lays ago to the effect that he would ask
the grand jury to take action on reports
that several witnesses for the State have
been approached. The defense Immedi
ately announced a reward of SI,OOO would
be paid to any person who could show
lhat the witnesses had been tampered
with.
It was understood the defense is pre
pared to further complicate the case by
producing evidence that a second “third
man’’ resembling McGannon was the
actual slayer.

FOUR HOSTILE
MOVEMENTS ON
IN OLD MEXICO
Obregon Government, Less
Than Three Weeks Old
Facing Issues.
SECRET AGENTS BUSY
MEXICO CITY, Dec. 15.—Four hostile
movements are under way today against
the government of President Alvaro
Obregon, which is less than three weeks
old.
The most active, but not the rao&t
formidable, revolutionary movement is
that of Carranzlstas. Lenders of this
movement are chiefly Idle army officers
and ousted officeholders. They have
caused some commotion on both the
northern and southern borders of Mexico,
but the campaign of their "army of re
construction” has been a failure.
The second movement Is by former
army officers, who served during the
regime of I’orflrlo I>laz. Felix Diaz,
who is now an exile from Mexico, Is said
to be involved in this anti-government
plot. However, Felix Diaz Is not regarded
by president Obregon as a dangerous
man.
PROPERTY OWNERS
FEYR BOLSHEVISM.
Third is the organization of property
owners who fear that Mexico is drifting
into Socialism and ultimately Bolshev
ism. The property owners wish a “peace
ful revolution" and not an overthrow or
the government by f(yre of arms.
The fourtli movement is that of the
“radical group,” including extreme So
cialists, Anarchists and Boiehevlat*.
They hare been very active in eoutbern
Mexico, especially In the State of Ta
basco, whero sanguinary fighting has
been In progress for some weeks.
The return to Mexico of prominent
men who served under former admiols
tratlons is regarded with suspicion by
the radicals. The radicals assert that
the government encourages the return of
these reactionaries.
DEPENDS ON
OBfSBGON’S STRENGTH.
