But mother’s watchful care, and daddy Shriner’s sympathetic "you'ro all right” soon sent the girls into the next race happy. The boy's sack race w-as a close second in provoking mirth from the ruthless sidelines. Funny how

CITY IN HOGUE’S HANDS AS MAYOR TAKESVACATION Shank Paves Way for Opposition to Further Cut in Proposed Levy, After paving the way for organized opposition against any further cut in the 1924 proposed tax levy, by city council, Mayor Shank will leave Sunday on a week’s motor trip in the vicinity of Detroit. Administration of city affairs will her left in the hands of Joseph L. Hogue, city controller, who will support Mayor Shank’s stand against further reductions. Meanwhile definite action will be taken by the council before the mayor returns. The finance rommittee Is scheduled to meet with Chamber of Commerce officials In the office of Councilman Walter Wise Wednesday, and at the* city hall Thursday night with the boards of safety and public works. A public hearing will be held on the budget at the first meeting of the council next month. Sept. 3. Hogue was busy today preparing a list of salaries of city officials for Chamber of Commerce officials to review. They agreed with the mayor, however, that it appeared impossible to cut the budget. “I’m for economy' and reduction of taxes, but there is a limit beyond which it is unsafe to go,” said Mayor Shank today, following his appeal to citizens to save the present tax levy. Shank had reduced it nearly 28 cents. Meanwhile the mayor continued his war on telephone rates by investigating possibility of other phone removals. It 1? understood that sweeping reductions may be made at fire stations, averaging one phone out of every station. Fire Chief John J. O'Brien is investigating. “Indianapolis pays $550,000 a year for water, telephones and light,” said the mayor. “If these rate increases are effective and the budget is reduced, I don’t see, what will become of the city.”

Talked It Over. “At about 5 in the afternoon w® talked to Druley. He said the sheriff said we had to use big gloves. He talked about giving us half the money and Firpo and %vhat's his name fighting four rounds. We thought half a loaf was better than none and we said all right. * “Then when the crowd raised a row about four rounds, the sheriff said we had to fight or go to jai.. The mayor said the same thing That’s all bunk about going to jau I know the law better than some of the guys who were there. “We didn’t have to fight at all. Our contract called for $4,000 and we didn’t get it. But we wanted to please the crowd and we fought ten rounds. “The whole thing was politic** horse play.” How About Joe? Neither did Downey get all of his money. He only got SBOO and had been promised SI,OOO. But nobody seems to be worrying about Downey right now. At the hospital they say they havu \ Instructions-rto give out no information about his condition. They won't even exp'ain why the secret.

His deputies didn’t accompany Druley to the city with the money, as was reported, he said. “There was a row at the gate and I sent three men over to stop it,” he said. “Then Druley left. The deputies did not leave with h’.m.” Anyway, it was some affair. The thousands of “gate-crashers” who got in without paying admission, will say so.
