MRS.

Acting Coroner Robert Freeby accepted a statement from Miss Anderson. Sunday night, which absolved her of all blame. Mrs. Lange crossed Monroe street at the alley ’between the Catholic Sisters’ house and the Catholic school building. She was walking diagonally northwest. Evidently she failed to see the approaching automobile. Miss Anderson stated that Mrs. Laaige was wearing a black dress and she failed to see Mrs. Lange until her car was nearly to the lady. Miss Anderson applied her brakes and pulled over to the curb in an effort to avoid hitting Mrs. Lange.. The left rear portion of the car struck the aged womaai. Eye witnesses questioned by the police substantiated Miss Anderson’s story. They stated that she was driving at a moderate and 'egal rate of speed.

Father Joseph Seimetz, pastor of St. Mary's Catholic church, as Mrs. Lange lay dying on the lawn in front of the Dugan residence. Mrs. Lange, a devout Cathplic had visited the church, (CONTINUED ON PAGE FOUR) CHARGES LOCAL UNITS TO BLAME Gov. McNutt Says Local Governmental Units Are Extravagant Gary, Ind., Aug. S—(UP)5 —(UP) —Local governmental units have been extravagant and have not cooperated with the stnte administration's plan to reduce property taxes, Gov. Paul V. McNutt charged in his weekly radio addr ss last night. “L:cal units have not practised the same economy as the state administration and used refunds from the state treasury as a means of reducing taxes," Me Nutt said. “It is evident local taxing units have not used refunds from the gross income, excise, intangibles and gasoline taxes for the purpose intended. “This is borne out by the fact that local levies have not been lowered on a scale commensurate with relief given the local units by the stat? administration. “Taxes in some localities should have been reduced as much as 71 cents on each SIOO valuation. The state .Dis distributed more than $26. 000,000 to local units during the .past fiscal year, but in only a few instances have local taxes been reduced in proportion to the money received.” The governor termed “unwise” the recent pl a of the undlanupolis Chamber of Commerce to distribute the $8,000,000 surplus in the state treasury to local units. “If congress enacts the social security program, Indiana will be in a position to cooperate immediately" the governor said. “Should v»e spend the surplus we (CONTINUED ON PAGE FOUR) O Erie Band Will Advertise Fair The Erls Railroad band will parade in Huntington Tuesday night tor the purpose of advertising Cloverleaf Dairy Day in Decatur, Thursday, August 8.

Vanity fair published a portrayal of the Emperor drawing a two wheeler cart. The magazine reached private subscribers here and caused a sensation. The. Japanese Emperor is to Japanese a divinity. The dynasty descends, according to tradition, from the Sun goddess, and its first mortal head, the Emperor Jimmu, founded the house—the oldest in the world —in 660 B. C. Vanity FUir’a August issue was banded from news stands. It is understood that Seijiro, Yoshuljawa, newly appointed counselor of the embassy at Washington, visited the state department last Friday, unofficially, and spoke of the cartoon. Gaito’s instructions today were to follow up this visit by a means which he should himself select.

Nations Angered (Copyright 1935 by United Press) ’ Geneva, Aug. 5— (U.K) —Small i nations, angry over the Comoro- : mise effected in the Italian-Ethio-pian dispute, intend to force a supreme test of the league of nations authority if war still threatens next month. So outraged were feelings of representatives of the nations which really make up the league membership that it was indicated today they were ready to envisage the death of the league rather than see it continue to live on its present baste.

"The name of Germany conveys to us many happy, great and also sad things. It is happy to think that there are many ptous and strong youths in Germany with their ftaitYi unshaken.
