Its a bum way to spend a vacation but if any one freally enjoys it, let them go to it. The railroads want a fifteen per cent increase in rates which is certainly a startling request just at this time when most every one else is being urged to reduce. There must be something back of the request that so far hasn't been announced. Two men charged with setting Jre to the Ohio prison some months ago have pled guilty and received sentences of life imprisonment. I hey were convicts serving time and their confessions have cleared the ugly charges made immediately after the horrible affair. This seems to be a better time to buy property than it is to sell. If you have the money you can 1 purchase farm or city property these days for less than the im- ' provements are worth and the ground thrown in free. After all j its the one investment worth while. Charles M. Neizer, president of the First National & Tri State at I ort Wayne has been elected president of the Indiana Banker s Association, a fine recognition of a splendid man. We are sure he will have a successful term and that bis meetings will boos great interest. Tomorrow is Rural Church Day among all denominations and in many of them the services will he I special because of the occasion. ’ No institution has played a more I important part in the development of the country than the rural church and it is fitting that such services as they have rendered be conducted. It will be quite a relief, especially to citizens of Marion, Ohio, when the Harding Memorial tomb is dedicated next week. It was completed more than two years ago but President Coolidge side-step-ped the job of making the dedicatory speech. Then Mr. Hoover came in and likewise offered several alibis. Finally it seems they made up their minds it had to be

done and arrangements have finally been completed. Let's get It over. • The most elaborate program in years has been arranged for the ■ mid-summer meeting of the Indiana Democratic Editorial Association • which will convene at Gary the ! morning of June 25th and continue three days. There will be somej thing doing every minute and we 1 wonder how some of the old boys , will ever keep up the clip as > arranged by President Brodhecker , and his executive committee. The Berne Chamber of Commerce members on their way to Fort Wayne for a joint meeting with the chamber there hav? announced they will stop here to say “hello' 1 and thats a splendid idea. It pays to be on good terms with other towns and the boys from Berne will find our fellows willing to meet them more than half way, to work with them on those matters of interest to both towns and to enjoy with them the fellowship that follows an exchange of greeting. President Hoover has completed his preparation for three speeches in the middle west next week and every thing is set now for admirers to pay due respects to the chief i executive. After considerable ad-1 vertising and hustling the indica- j tions are that the 5,000 places ar-1 ranged will be filled. He will speak at Indianapolis, Monday evening, at the dedication of the Harding Memorial at Marion. Ohio, on Tuesday and at Lincoln's tomb in Springfield, Illinois, on Wednesday. .Attorney General Ogden says the | acts of the 1931 legislature are valid so far as publishing them are concerned, with the exception of house bill six which is in court, a restraining order having been issued by Judge Chamberlain to preI vent the publication of that bill i until the facts are shown in court. I So we may now expect the acts to lie published soon, while the trial i<if the bus bill case will probably be dragged around for a year or two. The affair will no doubt result in some rules which make it possible to close a legislative session with a wild orgy such as marked the last one, when thirtysix bills were shoved through in a few hours. I ■ onel D. Eddy of New York. 1 says that taxes should be reduced twenty per cent., federal, state and local and every one agrees with him but it can't be done instantly. I It is good advice to urge each tax 1 unit to reduce the levy but they I must pay the bills which are usually contracted long before the rate fixing date. As long as we spend more money for public improvements, we cannot expect much reduction. so it becomes a question which is really best, lower taxes or employment of labor and improvements that most every one admits are needed. Any way it won't do ny harm to discuss the tax problem and tor the next several years the tendency will surely be downward. — 0 ——-—

By HARRISON CARROLL. ♦ Corsrlabt 18JI. Premier Svndlrale. Inc HOLLYWOOD, May 00.—Stage hits are finding their way quickly into the movies these days. "The Truth Game," an Ivor Novello comedy that Broadway saw ■

this year, will be Robert Montgome r y ' s next starring picture. It will be made after Bob steps down temporarily to take a featured lead in “Sea Eagles." Novello himself will do the ocreen-play. He already has taken up residence here. Incidentally, Billie Burke, who

played opposite the actor-author on Broadway, ar- j rives Sunday to appear in a coast production of “The Vinegar Tree.” | The quick translation of “The Truth Game” into a talkie is in sharp contrast to the long restrictions put on “Broadway," "Strictly Dishonorable.” “The Front Page” and other .stage hits This may or may not mean the New York moguls are losing their fear of a play being killed by the previous appearance of a talkie One of them, at least, has come around, for Dashiell Hammett’s “Maltese Falcon,” already a talkie, will not be acted on the stage until next season.

There is another sequel to the inconvenient resemblance of James Crane and Will-rm (Stafce) Boyd. Both of the ai .ors wore engaged to appear in a murder mystery at Paramount.

NEW DIARY IS’ BEING STUDIED IN MURDER CASE (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE, elaborated upon and brought up to date the first diary, which was produced but not put into evidence at the opening grand jury hearing. It was said to have contained the i names of many more men with ■ whom the impetuous dnd eccen- ' trie young woman was acquainted and described in greater details her iove affairs with them. While Edwards and his assistants engrossed themselves in a study of the new evidence, the hint of another startling development was dropped unexpectedly by

Stanley E. Faithfull, the spare and dignified foster ifather of Miss 'Faithfull. “Something tnemendously important and something which I've been hoping could be avoided is going to take place at Mineola in the morning," were the words he was quoted as uttering after the grand jury session. “I can't tell you any more about it now." If the grey-haired chemical manufacturer was referring to a development he anticipated in tl>e grand jury hearing, he apparently was mistaken about the time, for the next session will not be until Tuesday. The grand jury session was disappointing to the sensation-seek-ers at the Mineola courthouse and in front of the once-artistocratic residence in which the Faithful! family live a Cew doors away from Mayor James J. Walker. Front the witnesses who were called there seemed to have come no clue regarding the young woman's possible slayers and the testimony was generally not of any startling nature. Several new sides to the mystery enhanced interest today, however, and set investigators working on fresh leads. Inspector Harold R. King assigned 20 men to begin a search this morning of the shore and sewers from Atlantic Beach westward for 3 miles on a chance of finding Miss Faithfull's missing clothing or possibly some other Mt of evidence in the region wl>ere her body was discovered last Monday morning by a beachcomber. From a man who des< -ihed himself as an intimate friend of the Faithfull family came other information bearing on Starr's peculiarities. The man. whose name was withheld, said Miss Faithfull had been under care of a neurologist quite recently and that her family had been told hpr case bordered on parancia. “She was a narcissist," he was quoted as saying. "Three-quarters of her waking hours were occupied with thoughts of her own physical appearanqe. In many respects she had the mentality of a 12-year-old girl. Her instability brought trouble ‘o everyone who had anything to do with her.” The informant explained that Starr's many infatuations with men of various ages and stations in life had left her without any unusual admiration for any of them except one, and over this one she was said to have brooded constantly. The man in question was said to have been Dr. G. Jameson Carr, ship's surgjeon on the Cunard linqr Franconia —the liner from which it was necessary to remove her
