ASPHALT CISTS , SOARING AGAIN City Engineer Reports Big Boost-Contractors’ War Over. Prices asked by local contractors for permanent improvement of streets with asphalt have climbed back around the $3 a square yard mark, City Engineer John L. Elliott reported today. Early in the spring bids ranged around $4,10. Elliott at that time said he would not recommend award of contracts by the board of public works until contractors cut their bids to between $3 and $3.10, figuring the $4 figure to be exorbitant in view of prices of labor and material. After several weeks of jockeying two street building firms finally made the suggested cut. This precipitated a contractors’ war which resulted by the middle of the summer in battering the price down to as low as $2.48. Contractors now have about all the jobs they can finish th.s season and are not so anx.ous for more contracts so the price has gone back up to the normal level, Elliott said. LEAVES $1,321,000 1.. 11. Boyd Estate Yields Inheritance Tax of $44,731. Approval of an inheritance tax of on an estate left by L. D. oyd was made by Judge Mahlon E.

ONE MINUTE TALKS on BANKING By John L. Duvall, President Marion County State Bank.

[This Is the ninth and last of s a series of "One Minute Talks on Banking" by prominent bank officials, I which has run each Saturday In the Times during the past nine weeks. Overdrafts An overdraft on your account with a bank is really an unsecured loan. It is strictly against the law for any officer of the bank to O. K. an overthe same as upon i a note, except •; .ltt that the interest B at the legal rate ■ Is collectable only from the day the depositor Is noth HfMffesr - i fied to r-' v the overdraft and not J&j from the day it jBEaLi : was created. iWlrljf E fW Overdrafts are GW J not looked upon with favor by the courts and for this reason are not generally allowed by banks, but because of certain unforseen circumstances or through an error an overdraft may be granted and the check paid. But the safest way is to keep a record of all the checks that you use so that you will know at all times just how your account with the bank stands. Any depositor anticipating the need for funds In excess of his balance should arrange for the funds In advance, either by borrowing on his note or by arranging for a line of credit. This is the only safe rule —do not Issue a check until you have money in the bank to pay it. The rapid clearing of checks is a necessity of modem banking and a check which cannot be paid until funds are deposited will very likely arrive at the bank before the deposit. Under these conditions the check will be returned nt&rked “Not Sufficient Funds," which injures your standing and credit. It is considered most unbusinesslike and damaging to one’s credit to draw against insufficient funds, with trouble surely ahead for those who make a practice of this course. In many states laws have been passed making it a misdemeanor punishable by a heavy fine to draw against an insufficient balance. Indiana has such alaw r . Adjusting Errors If through a mistake on the part of the bank, a check is returned, notwitl standing there were sufficient funds on deposit to pay it, the depositor should get in immediate touch with one of the bank's officers. In every case where a mistake has been made, the bank is desirous of taking the mat-

Uprising of Moslems Is Feared; Wildest Rumors Gain Circidation

By United Press CONSTANTINOPLE, Sept. 16. Uprising of Molsems here simultaneous with an attack by the Turkish Nationalists forces of Mustapha Kemal is understood to have been decided on by leaders of tho Mohammedans. Allied officials are making preparations to suppress such an attack. Massacre of the whites in Constantinople probably would ensue If tho European troops here were overpowered. Mustapha Kemai’s cavalry has been reported only a few miles from the city, evidently reconnoitering. The main Kemalist army has extended its right wing to a point fifty-five miles southeast of the city.

ter up directly with the holder of the check, adjusting the matter to the entire satisfaction of all people concerned. This can be done so that the depositor's credit will not be injured in the least. But immediate attention is always necessary* UNITEDSTATES TO REJECT PROPOSAL • Government Takes Position of Having Nothing in Common With Soviets. By United Press WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.—The United States will reject the proposal of soviet Russia for negotiations looking to resumption of relations, it was understood here today. The attitude of the United States, the United Press understands on high authority, is that this Government has nothing to negotiate with soviet Russia.

AMERICANS DESTITUTE fFlight From Smyrna Forced Them to Abandon Possessions. By United Press WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.—Nearly ! two hundred and fifty Americans are destitute in Athens, following their | flight from Smyrna, the State Depart ; mont declared today in an official com | munication to the American Red | Cross here A constant stream of American i refugees still is pouring into Greece j and they are without resources to i sustain themselves, it was said. They abandoned all their property ip the hasty flight from the burning city. The Government has no funds for relief and the notification was in the nature of an appeal to the Red Cross to determine what steps that organization can take. OFF FOR PRISON John Williams and Hubert Freels Convicted of Automobile Theft. John Williams, 27, was fined SIOO and costs and sentenced from three to five years in the penitentiary' and Hubert Freels, 30. was fined SIOO and costs and sentenced from one to four-1 teen years by Judge James A. Col- I lins in Criminal Court today, on charges of vehicle taking. Each man was disfranchised for one year. Williams and Freels were convicted j of stealing a motor car from Paris j Warren, 1454 S. Harding St. TO DEFEND ZONE Great Britain Invites Other Nations to Help Near Porte. By United Pres* LONDON, Sept. 16.—Great Britain has invited Greece, Roumania, Serbia and the British dominions to partcl pate in defense of the neutral zone around Constantinople and the Dar danelles, menaced by the Turks, it was learned authoritatively today. Britain, it was stated, will exert the utmost efforts to insure effective, per manent freedom of the Dardanelles and the Bosphorus.

The wildest rumors are in circulation. The Europeans are awaiting eagerly for arrival of heavy reinforcements. One of the unconfirmed reports is that twenty-five transports carrying British troops are en route here. The Kemalist premier, Raouf Bey, addressing a crowd from the balcony of the Turkish Nationalist assembly, said: "Today we fete the reoccupation of Smyrna. Tomorrow we will do the same for Broussa. Afterward—Constantinople—then Adrianople. The supreme will of the Turkish people will be executed at all costs. Our armies will be able to accomplish all our claims."
