INEW BOARD TO
PLAY POLITICS,
# SO IT APPEARS
Many Changes Considered in
School Body if Reports
Are True.
HITT TO GET JOB BACK?
“Give ’em the ax, the ax, the ax!” the
famous old Snortridge yell which for so
many years has made Itself heard across
football gridiron, basket-ball floor and
baseball diamond, has assumed anew
dignity in school affairs, according to
current reports.
The noble sentiment embodied and ex
pressed in those few choice words seem
to hare leCome the guiding spirit of the
three Individuals who, after the first of
January will control the destinies of the
board of school commissioners, Charles
L. Barry, Adolph Emhardt and Dr. Marie
Haslep.
Theoretically, the school city of In
dianapolis is a nonpolitical affair, ad
ministered on a high plane for the el
fare of the school children of the city
without the slightest taint of politics
or self-interest on the part of the mem
bers of the board of school commis
sioners—that is, theoretically, but, say
the observers, what is a little thing like
a theory between a lot of victorious
friends?
Therefore, It follows that, since the
election last month, when Charles L.
Barry was chosen to succeed himseli.
while Adolph Emhardt and Dr. Marie
Haslep were elected to succeed Mrs. Julie
Belle Tutewiler and Clarence E. Crippin,
the first of the year, there has been a
steadily increasing flow of rumors to the
effect taht the Barry-Emhardt-Haslep
MDibinatlon is going to make one grand
housecieaning in the personnel
of executives of the >oard. Everyone
who ever' 1 showed the slightest trace of
friendship with or whose position was
due in any way to any member of the
present board, will be out in the cold,
cold word and the place filled by some
one aecetpable to the Indianapolis .News,
the Taxpayers’ League of Indiana or the
now famous “committee of 100,” com
posed largely of unmarried men and
women and others having no children in
the public schools of the city, which
played such an important part in the
election of the three candidates who will
•: Jntrol the next board.
MATSON SEATED
TO LOSE POSITION.
* Among the changes slated, according
to gossip, are the following. Frederick
M. Matson, attorney for the b-urd since
the resignation of Albert Baker last
spring, will not be reappointed and the
Job will go back to Mr. Baker again.
George C. Hitt, formerly business di
rector, will be given his old posistlon
back and Ralph \V. Douglass, who suc
ceeded him. will find himself entirely out
of luck. Mr. Hitt is not living in Indi
anapolis at the present time, and is In
newspaper work in New England. How
ever, it is understood that he was await
ing the outcome of the election with a
watchful eye and with the understand
ing that he was to have his old position
back if the Little Schools slate went
across.
Carl W. Eurton, superlntendet of
buildings and grounds, who has made
a splendid record since he went into of
fice is another employe slated for the dis
card according to available dope. Mr.
Eurton was appointed over the protests
of TV. D. Allison, and it has been notice
able ot board meetings that Mr. Allison
to take particular pains, wnich are
:W unmixed with pleasure, in ODjecting
to recommendations made by Mr. Eurton.
It is believed the Barry-Emhardt-Hastep
faction can count on the whole-hearted
support of Mr. Allison In their efforts to
separate Mr. Eurton from his job:
GRAFF’S NAME
IS MENTIONED.
Even the name of Superintendent Graff
his not been left out of the discussion
and
be dismissed before the four years, for
which the new majority faction is elected,
have expired.
Mr. Graff incurred the canity of a
number of young women of considerable
Influence with the new board almost two
years ago when he refused to giTe a de
tailed explanation of the whvs and
wherefores of the dismissal of Daniel P.
Carroll, a popular teacher at Arsenal
Technical High School. Ever since that
time these women have been after the
Graff scalp and it is said they were
among the most ardent supporters of
the Barry-Emhardt-Haslep combination
at the November election. They are now
demanding their pound of flesh, it Is said.
In 1924 Fred Bates Johnson and
Charles A. Yoke, two other members of
the slate on which Barry, Emhardt and
Haslep were elected, will take office and
then the new crowd will be In full con
trol and can run things to suit them
selves unhampered by opposition within
the board, barring, of course, the pos
sibility of a split within their own
ranks.
SPLIT LOOMS
IN OFFING.
That there is at 1. nft a possibility of
some such split is indicated by the dis
sension that is said to have sprung up
in the ranks of the victors even before
they have taken office. It has been
conceded that Mr. Barry, who
S(v is a member of the board, would be
the next president, as a matter of course.
It was felt that his experience as a board
member and his determined and bitter
opposition to the policies of the present
board would assure him this honor when
his own crowd got in control.
But tales now in circulation insist
that Adolph xEmhardt is looking with
covetous eyes on the presidency, and is
basing his claim on the fact that at the
recent election he got more votes than
any other candidate. lie is Mid to feel
that this clearly entitles him to the high
honor of sitting at the head of the table
and being addressed as “Mr. President,”
appointing committees, asking visiting
delegations at school board meetings if
they have anything to say, and receiving
motions to adjourn.
STVART LIKELY
TO LOSE POST.
The name of Milo n. Stuart has been
dragged into the stories of iate as a can
didate for the official “can.”
Mr. Stuart seems to have committed the
unpardonable crime of expressing ap
proval of the building program- of the
present board, ami of having publicly
stated that Indianapolis should have
modern, fireproof, well-equipped school
buildings for the school children of the
city.
And the clean-np campaign to be in
augurated is said not to be limited to
executives of the school system, but will
be extended to the Janitor forces and
even to the clerks and office employes of
the board.

Fayette street, was held at 9 o’clock this
morning at St. Bridget’s Catholic

‘BIG MEETING’
WIRES HARDING
V
Radical Limitation of Arma
ments Urged.
Steadfast adherence to a policy of
radical limitation of armaments was
urged upon President Harding in a tele
gram sent by A. H. Godard, general sec
retary of the Y, M. C. A. in accordance
with a resolution adopted by~-the "Big
Meeting" yesterday afternoon at Eng
lish’s Theater.
The resolution was adopted after a
strong plea for action had been made by
Dr. Clarence A. Barbour, president of the
Rochester Theological Seminary of
Rochester, N. Y.
“The conference at TYashtngton Is a
vital thing,’’ the speaker said, "but on
the outcome of the issues of that con
ference is hinged the determination
whether the war is to be won. If I read
the signs of the times correctly, cross
currents of diplomacy have developed.
L’nless our representatives hold true and
stand fast and have the positive backing
of 100,000.000 of peoples the conference
will adjourn before doing the things it
ought to do. TV; must back them up. I
would urge you to send a telegram to
President Harding telling him that the
men of the ‘Big Meeting’ are back of
him.”
Dr. Barbour made a attack on
adherents of the doc.rine of "personal”
liberty who, under .he cloak of personal
liberty, wish to gratify their own appe
tites.
“Among the wars going on today," he
said, “is the one against the appetite
for intoxicating liquor. Ha who speaks
lightly of the power of lntoxica'ing
liquor is u knave or a fool.
"There are men on your avenues trying
to make this a safer place for the world
to live in, but there are also men on
these same avenues who have their cellars
full of liquor In spite of the country’s
law for a dry nation. Laws restrict the
personal liberty for the greatest good of
the greatest number of people."
