DOCTOR’S BODY FOUNDINCREEK UNDER HIS AUTO Mitchell O. Devaney’s Machine Plunges Over Bank Near 32d and Bellefontaine. VICTIM OF SHARP TURN Dr. Mitchell O. Devaney, 9970. Breadway, is dead today, following an unusual accident In which the automobile he was driving plunged over a thirty-foot embankment into Fall creek as it was rounding a sharp turn in Sutherland avenue, about a block north of Thirtysecond street, just west of Bellefontaine street. The body was fouqd pinned under the car, around which the creek had frozen solid, yesterday afternoon. It had apparently been In the water twelve hours, according to Dr. Faul F. Robinson, coroner. The body was found by Robert* Pistatof, 3248 Bellefontaine street. Mr. Pistator, while following rabbit tracks along the bank of the creek, discovered a bat lying on flse bank. He told the police later he suspected something wrong. A moment later he saw the wheels of an automobile above the Ice In the creek and Investigating found the bod., of Dr. Devaney pinned in the driver’s seat. He immediately notified the police and the body was identified as that of Dr. Devaney by prescription blanks found in bis medicine case. There is no retaining wall at the place where the machine went over the embankment, which could have stopped it In its course. BUSHES FAIL TO HOLD CAR. Sutherland avenue is under control of the board of park commissioners from College avenue to a point close to where rhe accident happened. It is probable that the board of ipublic works ana Street Commissioner Al Melo.v will be asked to take up the question of placing a retaining wall at this point, to prevent similar accidents in the future. The bank of the creek is covered with a heavy growth of bushes and small trees at the point where the automobile left the road, but they did not stop the fall of the car. The police believe Dr. Devaney was driving rapidly and that he tvas unacquainted with the road, not knowing there was a turn ahe.ad. Dr. Devaney was associate medical director of the Indianapolis Life Insurance Company. He entered the employ of the company in 1905 as an examiner. In 1907 he was made assistant medical examiner and in 1910 he became associate medical examiner. DID HIS BfT FOB COUNT HI.

Claims Great Britain Backed United States In Spanish War / LONDON. Jan. 2.—A hidden chapter in American history, showing that Great Britain was ready to intervene on the side of the United States during the Spanish-American war and support the Monroe doctrine, was revealed today by Sir Frederick Pollock, world famous authority on international law and a member of the British privy council.

Sir Frederick is one of the foremost < members of the British bar and assisted in drawing up tbo indictment against the former kaiser. His revelation regarding Anglo-American relations was made in the course of an Interview in which he strongly defended the league of nations covenant. MONROE DOCTRINE ALWAYS RECOGNIZED. “1 notice that there has been considerable talk iu America regarding the Monroe doctrine and the claim has been made that there is some chance that England might take advantage of the league of nations reservations and try to. upset this doctrine.

CITE INJUSTICE OF TAX BOARD ON FARM LAND Tracts Near L. Duffey’s ‘s9o Adjusted’ Acreage Must Stand Levy Burden. WHAT WILL OWNERS DO? The Constitution “The general assembly shall provide by law for a uniform and equal rate of assessment and taxation; and shall prescribe such regulations as shall secure a Just Valuation for taxation of all property, both real and personal, "i—Constitution of Indiana. When the state tax board took up the appeal of Luke Duffey, member of the legislature and a candidate for the republican congressional nomination from the Seventh district and fixed the assessment of his land in Lawrence township at approximately S9O an acre It established what It intended to be the “last word” in valuation of land in this neighborhood. In this case the board gave personal attention to the assessment. After due consideration it found that the valuation of Duffey’s land at approximately sl3l an acre vfas erroneous and thereupon it reduced the assessment to about S9O an acre. The board did not even consider the assessments on land held by less active politicians and ordinary citizens in that vicinity. Asa result of the establishment of S9O an acre as a fair valuation by the state tax board of land in this part of Lawrence township, It becomes evident that every land owner In that neighborhood has been assessed considerable more than his lanli is worth. The Duffey land lies along a road known as the “Mud Creek road,” which either passes or cuts through the most of the tracts on the plat book. This land is all of the same variety. There Is little difference, either In the contour or the soil. BHOWS INJUSTICE OF ASSESSMENT. Real estate appraisers say that the valuations for sale purposes are all approximately the same and that there has been little difference In the selling prices that figured in recent transactions in that neighborhood. Rut the assessments now of record for the year 1919, which are the result of the township assessor’s work, changed twice on the direct order of the state tax board, differ in nearly overy Instance and range, per acre, from S9O to SIOO. Adjoining the tract which the state board finally said should be assessed at S9O an acre there is a tract in the name of Anna Mollenkapp which is assessed nt sll4 an acre. Nearby is the land held in the name of Julia Pasquier, a tract of thirty acres assessed at SIOO an acre and another of ten acres assessed at $l6O an acre. tlflo VALUATION ON ANOTHER TRACT. Lying close to the Duffey tract is the land held by Frauds E. U chain and L. O. Urbain, which Is assessed at $l6O an acre. Not far away is a farm owned by Jackiel Joseph, an Indianapolis attorney, and the assessment as It stands on the books of the county assessor is $l5B an acre. W. E. Bash, a real estate dealer of Indianapolis, has two tracts of land In this vicinity. Either of them is within a stone’s throw of the Duffey land that is assessed at SOO an acre. Cine of these tracts is assessed at $l4O an acre and the other at $153 an acre. Such Is the result of the manipulations of the assessments that have followed the enactment of the “Goodrich-Hays" tax law' with Its establishment ot % a state board with almost unlimited powers. The local taxing authorities are not responsible for these glaring inequalities In assessments. The township assessor first appraised this land at what he regarded as its fair valuation. He visited the various tracts and he took into consideration their desirability and (Continued on Page Twelve.) JEWETT SEEKS COUNCIL FAVOR Mayor Makes Final Stand for Administration Man President Today. With the ‘ administration still hoping to find some way to. break the solid ranks of the Insurgents in the city council w’ho intend to elect one of their own number president for the coming year at the first meeting of 1920 Monday night, Mayor Chaises W. Jewett's biweekly conference with the council In his chambers, scheduled for this afternoon, promised to be a warm session. The mayor was not expected to come right out and ask that an administration republican be made president, but insurgents were expecting him to make some conciliatory move with the Intent to bring this about. Insurgents Indicated that they were not particularly eager to relinquish the balance of power they maintained throughout 1919 by reason of the fact that the heads of all important committees were of their number and it was freely predicted that an Insurgent president and insurgent, heads of committees will be elected next Monday. Meanwhile the administration announced that pending ordinances may be discussed at the. session today.

WORK SOLACE OF 808 AND BILL They Gather Old Paper and Rags to Aid Salvation Army in Work. By WALTER D. HICKMAN. 8— OB and Bill are the best of pals. Bill Is only a horse, used to pull a Salvation Army wagon over the streets of IndianBob Is a man and drives Bill. Both Bob and Bill have found their salvation In the religion of work. If there is a horse heaven Bill will surely laud there, and as for Bob, be Is a man who has ‘‘come back,” and is mak“lf a man loves a horse and is kind to him, there is al ways a chance to redeem that man,” claims George Cat,r =^^= r - lin, captain in l 7 v.. charge of the Salvatlon Army Industrial home, 205 West Pearl street. Capt. Catlin presides over the industrial side of the Salvation Army. When a man is down and out and is physically unable to do heavy work, he is brought Into the industrial home, which adjoins the Salvation Army headquarters. He Is given a good meal at a clean table and then after a time Is generally put to work assorting paper, which is collected by Bob and Bill and the others rvho arc trusted in gathering the paper and old clothing from Indianapolis homes MEN RECEIVE SMALL WAGE, Other men are used to ball the paper and some to prepare it for shipment to a paper mill. Each man receives a small wage each week besides his bed ana board. In a large room these men, most of them over 40 years of age, work assorting paper. They talk little as they work. Their yesterdays seem to hover about them. They seem to realize that they have missed their big chance In life and now r salvation rests in not only being square, but in doing a good day’s work. In work they find a sort of a religion. The saloon no longer gives them soup and a warm place to hang out. The unprintable story at the bar has been replaced by a gospel hymn and a prayer. In this simple industrial liotne, men who have had a chance, are being made into good men—men w'bo earn enough to keep themselves iu this humble way. Rags and paper give them the big chance to find religion, work and a home. Memories of golden opportunities haunt them as they find contentment in work and religion. MEN NOW

The gun battle In which Merchant Policeman Clary wounded Bowers and was himself shot In the right hand, was one of the most daring in local police annals. Clary was standing iu the kitchen when three men entered the lunchroom. The counter extends across the width of the room, with an opening nt the south end. A partition directly behind the counter separates the kitchen from the remainder of the room and at oach end of the partition is a doorway.
