Every one had an infectious, Joyousness, care free manner that reacted pleasantly on the onlookers. But the star actor of the gang, the ringh-ader and general Joker, was none other than the actor-musician-aeng writer, Will Morrissey. lie posed with the grace of Grecian dancer for his photo, graph, tripped lightly to the motors to gracefully assist the fair ladles, and, In fact, stole a lot of thunder from Mr. Loew himself who Is a fascinating sort of dignified looking person, not exact.y handsome, but sort of staple looking. MAYOR EMBRACED BY MISS ROLAND. But the men really showed off better when they met the mayor. "Charlie” seemed to appeal to them as a Jolly good scout and he made a decided hit with Miss Roland, who embraced him. posing for a phi'tograph with him in a most henrt throbbing pose. Montagu Love's name is deceiving for be Is a huge, redhaired plant of a man and they cal! him "Monty.” Crawford Kent was stunning in a bright pink shirt which was striking with his flashing bla'k eyes and raven locks. Oh. he’s a lady killer right. Creighton Hale was a modest little Monde chap, wearing a s**al eollnr. Jack Lamoiit received a number of languishing feminine glances. When we left the Statehouse, though, I made s change. I ducked Into a ma chine marked Lieutenant Hinton and when lie came smiling back to his car there was 1 and ulso there was Edward J. Gauaepohl, who asked me where I came from and I told him I was supposed to he there ail tffe time. I stayed and had a splendid close up view of I.leutenant Hinton. Why the gallant alrmau Is mixed up with the movies was more than 1 could tell, but I naked litin how he liked the movies and with horror in his eye ho told me he was not an actor, but a naval man, etc., etc, which was disappointment No 2, for I hod looked forward to being thrilled to tears by a movie male vamp. I hid my sorrow, however, and mnunged to have n d'dld >*is time with the lieutenant and Klwanlan (iiiuseph.il, both of them being exceptionally handsome men. LIEUTENANT HINTON LNJD4 8 PARTY. The lieutenant said he had bad a pm 1 feotly ripping time with the Loew party, that they were the happiest, Jolllest, moat unselfish pe* pie ever, lie didn t say he aspired to tho movies, but he sure would make a hit with the feminine fans If he'd start in. lie said he was a "Buckeye,” which was an interesting fact. Then added that he nearly was a Iloosler so close to the line had ho been born. That made mo feel nearly related to him, my mother having been a native Ohioan. He Is real, for-aure-inan. Lieut. Louis A. Kloor, United States Navy aeronaut of the same crew- as Lieutenant Illntou, w ho was also with the party. All in all it wu* a Jolly, frivolous, frothy time. The stately Governor was surrounded and made to blush rosily by the bevy of beautiful girls, the mayor was kissed warmly by one of the lovellst of screen idols and all Indianapolis was given a long look at the real-for-sure movie stars. One young matron beside mo said earnestly that she was desperately glad that her husband was not mayor, but the man beside me sighed and said he rather liked the Idea of running for mayor himself.

BARKER ASKS GREAT POWER FOR TAX BOARD (Continued From Page One.) Cray after conferences with leading tax experts, give the State board of tax commissioners appellate Jurisdiction over bond issues and levies upon petition of ten affected taxpayers. The State board was shorn of his power by the special session last summer, which vested appellate authority in tba county councils. One of the essential parts of the measuse Is that it gives the. State board power to reconvene the county boards of review to make equalizing assessments within a county. When the board was first created it abrogated this power to itself, but the Supreme Court held that i it had no authority to make intra-county equalizations. POWER TO ORDER EQUALIZATION'S. Under the proposed bill the State board will have indirect power to order equalizations through the board of review. Thu latter. If they do not follow out the desires of the State board, will subject their counties to a county wide horizontal increase. This is substantially the same authority the board exercised under the TuthiU-Kiper so-called legalizing measure passed at the special session. Following out the provisions of a motion introduced by Representative Otto G. Fifield of Lake County, the House will sit as a committee of the whole Wednesday afternoon at 2 o’clock for consideration of House Bills Nos. 357 and 358, the specific and deficiency appropriation bills. A public hearing will be held by the Ways and Meuns Committee Thursday evening at 7:30 o’clock on the soldier bonus bill, which wvould give all soldiers, sailors, nurses and marines of the world war $lO for each month they were in the service, if authorized by a referendum. INSPECTION BILL KILLED. On motion of Representative Russel K. Ledgood, Tippecanoe County, House Bill 221, introduced by Representative Oscar Ahlgren, Lake County, was killed by striking out the euuctlng clause. The bill provided for inspection of all masonry work on contracts where more than four men were employed. Representative Bedgood objected to the bill because he said it should apply to all buildings if there was any reason for It applying to construction at all. The Day rent profiteering bill was killed In the House by the Committee on Judiaeiary B, when a report was returned favoring indefinite postponement. The House adopted the report, NINE BILLS INTRODUCED. Niiije bills were introduced during the morning session, as follows; Richardson, Bedgood, Harlan, Coapstick, Shultz and Freeman, amending the motor vehicle registration law. Judiciary B. Smith, authorizing certain railroad companies to lease or purchase noncompeting connecting lines in other States. Railroads.

It was nalmost necessary to suspend business In the House when the “movie” kings and queens, piloted by Marcus Loew. visited the Sta*ehouse.

EASY TO TALK , OPTIMISM NOW; Return of Spring Weather Sets Motors Humming. There 1* no difficulty In talking about optimism as to the business outlook when the sun shines and the air is spring-like and balmy, according to N. H. Cartlnhour, president of the Indianapolis Automobile Trade Association, who declared today that the Indications for an early spring are proving a real tonic for the automobile trade. "It has been difficult to talk convincingly about optimism and business revival when the clouds were hanging low, but we have been talking this and practicing it, too, because our plans for the spring automobile show the week of March 7, fully Justify this sort of conversation," said Mr. Cartinhour. "The great turn-out of automobiles of evei-y description Sunday shows that the public is still motor-hungry. “Every hard-paved road and every city boulevard had a veritable procession of motor cars and at the Junction of the Pendleton Pike and East Thirty-Eighth street several traffic officers could have been used to advantage to straighten out rhe continuous congestion of vehicle? “To our mind this simply means settled business with settled weather —and we do not mean to be conceited when we say that with the renewed activity of the automobile trade ail other lines of business will get into high gear also. Th*> real start of this, I believe, will come with a successful exhibition such as wo will have in March.” DOCTOR ACCUSED IN LICENSE CASE Affidavit Charges Practice of Medicine. Dr. John A. Pickard. M. TANARUS., 45, whoso offices are at 18% West Ohio street, was arrested today on an affidavit charging him with practicing medicine without a license. The affidavit was sworn to by William T.

Mullally, a Jeweler. 28 Monument circle, signed Dr. Pickard's bond. “Dr. Pickard saved my wife's life when nine prominent physicians aaid she could never be cured,” declared Mr. Mullally, "and for that reason I am here to sign his bond.” Dr. Pickard, following his arrest, said i "I do not need a license, for I do not practice medicine. I attended medical college in Chicago for three years and I did not graduate, but I then attended, , the American College in Chicago, where X lenrned meebauo therpathy.
