PROPOSED BUDGET STILL PROTESTED BY DEPARTMENTS Thompson Denies Charges of Intent to Embarrass Administration, Members of city council and administration forces headed by Mayor Shank are today no nearer agreement on the 1924 city budget despite a series of conferences Monday in city hall. Councilman Ben Thompson, chairman of the council finance committee, presented their side of the case to the mayor and Joseph L. Hogue, city controller, late Monday. A cut of 4.8 cents was formally submitted. It includes reduction of general fund levy from 60 to 57 cents, 1 cent from park board and one-half cent from the recreation levy. Kline and Kingston Protest Fred Kline, member of the park board, and Ernest Kingston, president of the board of safety, joined the conference in protesting against further cuts. Hogue showed that even with the mayor’s proposed budget of $1.02, city departments woufd operate on less money than this year, by $97,894. Thompson said councilmen were elected to reduce taxes, and were carrying out their pledge. The mayor, holding that the Legislature was responsible for increased tax rates, said obligation to the public for munloipal service and protection demanded present levies for maintenance. Thompson Denies Charges Thompson denied charges that councilmen were trying to embarrass the Shank administration. The mayor assailed the present and former councils of the city for inactivity and lack of constructive program. “You just meet the problems immediately ahead of you with apparently no thought of the future growth of the city,” said Shank. "A councilman in this city is unknwon as soon as he goes out of office, and I’ll bet there are few citizens who can name the members of our common council, or even know how many we have.” Thompson took note of figures submitted and will report back to the council.

An official summary of the note shows that the Belgian government considers the time has arrived for a change in the procedure on repara- j tlons. * The problem has reached a point j where friendly, discreet conversations ; between the allied ministers might j take the place of notes, without there; being any actual conference, the note i says. It regrets that Belgium’s pre-1 vious conciliatory suggestions railed to provide justification for a Joint allied reply to Germany. / The note also states Belgium will not consent to any further reduction in her shares in payments from Germany. The note declared the existing situation in the Ruhr is the result of Germany's organization. It declares the measures put into effect in the region were Aone other than those contemplated by allied governments in previous identical circumstances and reliterates that- troops will be withdrawn from the Ruhr only in proportion as Germany pays. “The Ruhr won’t be avacuated for mere promises,” it is stated.

ALLURING PHOTOS SNARED‘VICTIMS’ FOR LOVEBUREAU Imaginative Pen of Woman Blamed for Alleged Mail Fraud Plot, Masculine armor proved of no avail against photographs of beautiful maids and the imaginative pen of Mrs. Jennie Adams of Anderson, who fleeced sentimental suitors from all parts of the United States out of several thousand dollars, according to Federal authorities today. Meantime, Mrs. Adams, 42, and her husband, Charles Adams, 42, were in the Marion County Jail today in default of bond of $2,500 each, charged with conspiracy to violate\the postal laws through operation of a matrimonial bureau. They waived arraignment at a hearing before Howard S. Young, United States commissioner, Monday. Simple Scheme, Simple Victims. The scheme was a simple one, postoffice Inspectors said. According to their story, Mrs. Adams would answer matrimonial advertisements. She would first send the prospective victim a photograph of a beautiful girl, supposed to be herself.- Burning love letters would then follow. Eventually, they said, she would ask the “sweetheart” for railroad fare to his place of residence in order that they might be married. Long Distance, Her Aim Victims living at a great distance from Anderson, Muncle and Huntington, where she is said to have operated. It is claimed, were selected by Mrs. Adams. “The greater the distance the greater the railroad fare,” was her evident slogan, authorities said. Mrs. Adams was arrested on a similar charge In Muncie last May and was bound over to the Federal grand Jury under bond of SI,OOO at that time. She then went into business of a larger scale than ever, postoffice authorities say.

He Skims the River for Living

There are ways and ways of earning a living. John Milburn, 48, makes his by “skimming the river.” Milburn lives in a tent on a little island near S. West St. His only companions arc some tiny chicks and a dog. Among his earthly possessions is a rickety old rowboat. Pushing off into the river, armed with a long handled stewpan and some large lard cans, Milburn skims from the river grease discharged by packing industries. When the containers are full he rows back to his island retreat and pours the contents into some old-fash-ioned kettles. With a roaring fire beneath, the water soon is boiled away, leaving only the grease. This he sells to soap factories. Three Automobiles Gone. Two automobiles were stolen Monday night from Norman Metzger, 4045 N. Meridian St., and John E. Messlck, 3115 Washington Blvd. Lafayette (Ind.) police requested the local police to watch for a car stolen from Forrest Stockton of that city.
