in committee of the whole, probably this afternoon. Both houses yesterday turned their attention to the recommendations of tne joint tax committee, n I nine of the 14 bills were rec- | ommended fc.r passage. Two were ! killed in the senate. They pro- | vided reductions in the limit of bonded indebtedness for county tm und three-mile roads. On.y one oi the 14 bills was sent to the governor. It was the Beck-ett-Huff measure limiting local budgets for the next two years to the 1930 totals. As passed by the senate, it would have caused a reduction of ten per cent in budgets for the next two years. The house eliminated the reduction provision, hov.eve , and the amendments were concurred in by the senate. The four taxation bills passed in i the senate provide fcr repeal of | all mandatory levies: optional consolidation of townships and coun- : ties, and payment of poll taxes by i men and women over 21 years of ' age. All were sent to the bouse. The house acted on two meas- | mes aimed at taxation relief, (me provided that the gasoline tax I funds dfstlibuted to cities, counties and to./ns, be used for maintenance and repair of roads, streets and bridges, and the other repeald' a 1 23 law exempting loads I petition I for prior to that date, n. the bonded indebtedness lim ‘ itati: ns. The senate spent little time in killing the St ey-Ketchum highway ‘ ripper" bill, which would have set up a full-time highway commission cf four members drawing ani a! salaries of $6,000 in place of i the present part-time commission. o French Senate Adopts Arbitration Act Today t'a.

Defense contentions that the unknown victim died of a skull fracture, have brought the countertestimony by the state, tending to show that a lung hemorrhage, caused by a knife or bullet wound, caused death. EarF Miller, embalmer who work ed on the body, testified that flamei had destroyed the skull, making either proof or refutation of the 'ef e >’’s“ theorv impossible. All of today’s testimony was expected to relate to the questioning to which Schroeder was subjected upon his return to Indianapolis from Mobile. During that questioning, a furious struggle developed which culminated in a fist fight between Ira Holmes, Schroeder’s attorney, aid ed his son, and Roland Snider, former deputy sheriff.
