NEW PEACE PROPOSAL
SUGGESTED BY LENINE
-The Marion county grand Jury
makes various recommendations and
findings to Circuit Judge Percy R.

filed late Tuesday afternoon. Rural
dance Jialls, poorly protected railroad
crossings and capital punishment
were subjects of the grand jury's re
turn, i
The charges made by J. A. Ander
son concerning ine auegea miscon-
behavlor of an employe of the state
school for feebld minded was appar
ently not given consideration by the
grand jury. While the Jury was in
session, many witnesses were called
before the Jury and a special trip to
the school for feeble minded was
made. Anderson, as a former employe
of the Institution had aroused state
wide interest in his allegations by
writing letters to Governor Olcott and
to District Attorney Max Gehlhar.

the reconsideration of the capital
punishment question by popular vote.

Severely arraigning public laxity
which permits the evasion, of Juvenile
and common decency codes by the
toleration of public dance halls, es
tablished beyond the scope of city
regulation; the grand jury reported
observations concerning rural dance
halls.
Spurred to activity by numerous
complaints and by reports made by
city and county authorities and per
sons interested m Juvenile protection,
the Jury called numerous witnesses
during the session now terminated.
Testimony was received which estnb
