FIELD AGENT TO BE IN DECATUR Gross Income Division Agent To Be In Decatur For Two Days Individual assistance of J. P.■ Storen, field agent of the state gross Income tax division, will be! available to taxpayers at the lo l cal automobile license branch Oct. | 9 and 14, It was announced today! by Dee Fryback, license branch manager. Mr. Storen will assist taxpayers in filing gross income tax returns covering the third quarter of 1937.1 reports on which are due Octob- 1 er 1 to 15. j Retail merchants, partnerships I i and managers of taxable non-pro-I fit organizations in doubt as to ' proper procedure for filing re-1 turns under the recently amend-! ed gross income tax law, particularly were urged to take advan-; tage of the field agent's visit here. Retail merchants, as defined under the amended law, are permitted an exemption of $750 a quarter to be deducted from receipts from retail sales. The state division during the July payment period, first under the amended law, received many returns on which too much exemption was taken and also others on which merchants failed to avail themselves of the increased exemption, it was said. Partnerships now file returns and pay tax as a partnership unit. Under the law in effect prior to the July taxpaying period partnerships filed only information reI turns and the individual partners reported their shares, of receipts [ from the partnerships on their in- ; i dividual returns. L Non profit organizations such as 1 clubs and lodges which formerly were completely exempt from gross income tax are now taxable '| on receipts from operation of bars, restaurants, rental of rooms and other business activities. Beverage Board To Conduct Hearing! I The Adams county alcoholic bevI erage board will conduct two hearlings at 9 a. m. Thursday, October , 28. Renewal of a beer retailer lieI cense wiV be sought by August A. | Heiman. (Peoples Restaurant), and Albert Aeschliman, (Colwiir.l Restaurant). for liquor, beer and wine | retailer.

SEEK TO HALT ROUTE CHANGE Van Wert Men Move To Prevent Rerouting Os Highway 224 Van Wert, 0., Oct. 6—(Special) i Organization of the Benjamin Franklin Highway Protective asso- ’ elation was affected by a group of, | business men of Van Wert, Ottawa j and other towns in this section, 1 during a meeting at Kalida. Formation of the association was made in the interest of maintain] Ing the present route of U. S. highway No. 224. designated as the Ben I Franklin highway to thwart efforts > | to change the route. One proposal already offered I would change the route between I Gilboa and Ottawa, making a new , ; highway on the abandoned Fort I j Wayne-Findlay railroad bed. It is! i believed that this is the first move toward shifting the highway so that it would not pass through Van Wert and Decatur, but would instead pass through Paulding county on into Fort Wayne. To strengthen the association further, a meeting will be held Tuesday, October 12. at Kalida. o LOCAL PERSONS (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) ’ local pastorate from Rich Valley, near Wabash, where he served for 1 five years as pastor. The Rev. Weber also gained experience in church work while serving as associate national director of young people's • work all wer the United States. ’ while in the Bonebrake seminary at 1 Dayton, Ohio. He was born and reared In Huntington. He and his family, Mrs. 1 Weber, a three-year-old son, James and a daughter, Sylvia Mae, 101 weeks old, moved to the local par1 sonage several days ago. o I RAPID ACTION (CON TI NV ED FROM PA G> K O N jB) they can. The administration already has gone some distance along this line by refusing to invoke the neutrality law which would embargo sale - and shipment of arms, ammunition and implements of war to China. The law also would recognize Jap- ■ an's belligerent rights, giving ini ternational legal sanction to her military operations and her naval ! i blockade of Chinese ports. ■ 3. Recommendation that the president of the assembly convoke an emergency session of the nine-. I power treaty signatories and all other nations having interests in the Pacific. The United States could not log ically refuse to attend such a con-' ference, inasmuch as this govern-; ment sponsored the nine-power treaty at the Washington arms conference in 1921-22. This gov- ! eminent, however, has indicated a ] , coolness toward proposals to convene the signatory {rowers unless some definite plan of action is con- , templated. 4. A request that the assembly remain in session to deal with the far eastern crisis. President Roosevelt and Secretary Hull repeatedly have voiced their willingness to collaborate with other powers, or with the league, in any specific, practicable steps to preserve or restore world )' peace. It is considered certain , j that officials here would be glad; to see the assembly remain in sess- ' ion. thus affording an official body , with which this government could collaborate and cooperate in the j far eastern situation. i There were intimations in offiI cial quarters, however, that the advisory committee's report may bo I only the initial step to be considered by the league toward “con certed action.” How far the leal gue may go beyond the present ' committee report toward establishment of the “quarantine” demanded by President Roosevelt, or how far this government would be pre-! pared to go along with the league in that direction were matters on which no authoritative opinion could be obtained. There was no official interpretation of definition of ula “quarantine” proposed by the president, j Hull and his assistants declined to "interpret” the president's speech. There were some indications of a divergence of official opinion on the question of how tar this gov--1 ernment legally could go in co-op-eration in the estebltshment or I maifitenance of a “quarantine. DELAY ACTION (CON-nNUED FROM j-ACtE ONEX time tlte city would be in debt. Practically the same procedure will probably be followed by the school board in issuing their bonds in the sum of SBO,OOO to $»0.000. Il will probably recftiire about 90 days f<> obtain money in this I method. The funds will be re-i quired before the government will make its PWA grant of $110,045 Several days ago, at s speciali | session of the council, two peti I tlons filed by the city school board i were approved One game the J civil city's permission to the

school board for the issuing of bonds by the board. The other provided for the civil city's granting of funds. REDIX TIONS TO JCONU tMIKD f ROM eAQS. ONE) able in Decatur In the near future. The gas will be turned Into the existing main northwest of Decatur. It will be several weeks until the natural gas Is* available In 9'oll Wayne. Sixteen miles of gas line must be constructed into the city. The line is being extended I from a point about six miles north ; of Decatur on U. 8. road 27, to | Fort Wayne. Private right of way through the adjoining farms has j been obtained by the company, A I crew of about 100 men Is building the line. Many of the men are ' making headquarters in this city. CONFLICT OVER WAGES, HOURS Sharp Conflict Developes At Annual AFL Convention Denver, Oct. 6 — (D.R) —A sharp' conflict over federal regulation of hours and wages developed today at the American Federation of Labor convention. "The big fight of the convention probably will be over organized labor's policy toward the wages and hours bill." George Harrison.. executive council member and one of the most influential union lead , ers. predicted. “I think there is an economic necessity for federal regulation—tor putting a floor under wages in the sweated industries —but there are valid grounds for objection to the bill pending before congress." There was a wide difference of opinion among federation leaders. Some objected to any federal regulation. The campaign to expel the John L. Lewis C. 1.0. unions will get its first test when a vote is demanded , on refusing to accept the credeu-1 tials of Charles P. Howard, president of the International Typographical Union and secretary of' I the C. 1. O. Other developments included: 1. Charges l>y Daniel J. Tobin. i teamster president, that the “doctrines" of some C .1. O. Jeaders — specifically Harry Bridges, west ; coast director — might result in "revolution, necessitating our government being forced to shoot down innocent men and women in order that the flag of our country might still float in freedom throughout the land.” 2. Rumors that President Roosevelt again was interested in efforts to patch up the feud be- ! tween the A. F. of L. and the C. 1.0. Similar reports were denied some months ago and most authoritative sources discounted the new rumors. 3. A defiant declaration by Frank Hefferly, president of the Colorado state federation of labor and a Lewis aide, that President William Green of the A. F. of L is “a cream puff, who is unreliable and apt to double-cross anyone." Hefferly assailed the federation officials, referring in particular to the fact that William I) Hutcheson. president of the carpenters, spoke of Lewis as a “louse." The wages and hours bill controversy arose from the preliminary meetings of the metal trades . and building trades departments : which opposed various administration policies. o Pipe Line Boss Arrested Here J. C. Williams, pipe line boss, was Ito be tried today on a charge of public intoxication. WPliams was arrested iasj night by Policemen I Roy Chilcote when he allegedly left a local beer parlor without paying his bill. The proprietor was to file charges this afernoon. Williams furnished cash bond of s4<) to guarantee his appearance in court. Police reported he had several hundred dollars on his person when apprehended. Famous Violinist Injured In Crash Bandoeng. Java. Oct. 6.—(U.R>— Bronislaw Huberman, one of the greatest living masters of the violin, a pupil of Joseph Joachim, and a familiar of the musical great, including Johannes '"llrahins was injured today when an airliner crashed near Palembang. Sumatra. Three members of the ship's crew were killed and seven others. Including Huberman. were injured. The extent of the virtuoso's injuries were not ascertained imraedj lately. Huberman was on route to Amsterdam from Batavia. The plane ! was of the Dutch K. L. M. line. Decatur Young Girl Is Reported Serious i Miss Mary Margaret Keller, daughter of Mr. and Mrs Will Kel ler, is reported seriously 11l at the local hospital, following an appen-; ' dicitis operation. *

RUSSIAN BALLET AT FORT WAYNE Mordkin Russian Ballet To Be At Shrine Theater October 11 Fort Wayne. Oct. 6—There is ceri tainly an alluring charm for everybody In the announcement that the Mordkin Russian Ballet will be seen here in what may be termed a gala performance of tw.. world celebrated ballets at the Shrine-Theatre-for-a Performance only on Oct. 11. There is both glamour and <B B tinction in this first visit of the ■new Mordkin organization that [brings us not only the first produc- ' tion of the fam..ue French ballet | "Giselle" In a generation ,but also the first world production on any I stage of Tchereipine's "The Gold--1 fish,” in three gloi ious acts and superb Soudelkine settings. I It is only fair to point out that |“The Goldfish” is perhaps the most widely interesting ballet of this century. Its story is taken from Alexander Pushkin's fantastic poem of the Russian fairy tale of the quaint old fisherman who found a goldfish in his net that talked, and won its ( freedom with a tearful appeal and : a promise of great wealth if returned to the sea. The old fisherman; complied, but what he got from his | nagging wife on hearing the story] is narrated with much charm and ] humor in the music and pantomime of the very original idea. ! The large orchoeetra under .Mois- ] B'atin. who has conducted for every . Mordkin Ballet performance since I the enthusiastic first night in New York., is most startling at times with Tcherepine’s music. Lucia Chase plays the wife and Viola Essen is the dainty goldfish fairy, while Leon Varkas and Dimitri Romanoff dance the leading male roles. The two ballets on one program will be given at the same popular prices that prevailed in Ne v Yopk, with the same cast of principals playing their leading roles.

I Interest in the development of the sugar beet Industry and how the i! farmers were organized in the local area to grow beets for the lo- i I cal plant, the only beet sugar re-1 '■ finery In the state. Mr. McMillen gave an interest-1 Ing talk on beet sugar, He ex-] plained that the Central Sugar company had Installed the most modern and efficient machinery to reflne'lhe finest sugar on the mar , ket. The speaker also stressed the merits of beet sugar. The beet sugar Industry is an American In-; dustry and the more beets produced and the more sugar resin-i ed in this country, increases the Income of the farmer and provid es employment for American labor.
