BODY OF PRINCESS MAY LIE AMONG KINGSf GREECE Anastasia, Former Stenographer and Ex-Wife of Hoosier, Dies, By Lnited Press LONDON, Aug. 30.—The body of Princess Anastasia of Greece —who used to be a Cleveland, Ohio stenographer—may lie among kings in the Greek royal cemetery near Athens. The princess died late last night of cancer and a complication of intestinal diseases. Today her relatives had not decided whether her remains would be deposited in Greece or taken home to America. The end came at 11:48 p. m., according to an announcement by the secretary to Prince Christopher of Greece, her husband. She had been unconscious for hours and all hope had been abandoned. ' When she passed away her husband was at the bedside, together with her son, William B. Leeds, and his wife, Princess Xenia of Greece. The princess had been ailing since early in the summer. She had undergone four operations for cancer and complications and after each one she rallied and resumed her place in the world, playing an important part in royal society and the international politics of the Balkans. Finally, however, the disease overcame her. Princess Anastasia, formerly Mrs. William B. Leeds, wife of the "tin plate king,” was credited with being the “power behind" In many of the upsets in Greek politics subsequent to the war. It was her vast fortune, many believed, which financed the campaign which led to the downfall of Premier Venizelos and the restoration of the monarchy. Mr. and Mrs. Leeds at one time lived in Richmond. Ind., and much of the Leeds fortune was made in this State.

CLOUDS CLEAR AS COUNCIL INDORSES PROPOSED BUDGET Tfffeatened Break With Administration Fades —Levy of $1,02 Is Saved, City council will pass a budget calling for a tax levy of $1.02 next Monday .night, it was indicated today following a test vote Wednesday night in the office of Councilman Wise, where the administration program was supported, 6 to 3. Councilman Buchanan did not vote. Action taken was reversal of promise made a week ago for a 4.5-cent cut. With the indorsing of the proposed budget a threatened break between the administration and council, Involving legal tangles, was removed. Although lacking one vote of the necessary six to pass the budget on Monday, the majority faction appears to have a method paved for its adop tion in its present form. President John E. King saved the proposed levy when he changed his vote from "no” to “aye’’ after a motion of Councilman Ray to Indorse Mayor Shank’s program was locked 4 to 4. Traffic Item Removed Councilmen Thompson, Ray, Claycombe and Clauer stood for the $1.02 levy. Councilmen Wise, Bramblett, Bernd favored reduction. King then joined the majority. The removal of a $5,000 item, asked by the plan commission for employment of consultant traffic engineers next year was the only change made. Ccuntilmen Claycombe was alone In defense of the item. A motion to remove it carried, 8 to 1. Councilman Thompson, chairman of the finance Ibmmlttee; opened the meeting by reporting the conference with the mayor and Joseph L. Hogue, f-lty controller, Monday afternoon. Thompson said he believed the budget was about ’’cut to the bone.” The character of the budget was attacked by Councilman Wise who said it was a “Standard form handed down from year to year.” He urged a “decent budget.” Park Items Raise Levy A compromise motion of Wise to cut the general fund 2 cents and the park board 1 cent, making a levy of f9.5 cents was lost when only Councllmen Bernd, Bramblett and Wise I favored It. Wise last week led the i fight for the 4.5 cent reduction. The changed attitude of Thompson and return of Clauer, however, caused the new movi The present levy, going to council for final passage, provides for a total of $1.02, to which will he added 2.25 cents for the park sinking fund, or a total of $1.0426. The levy for 1923 : was 94.7 cents, 9.725 cents lower. ; John R. White., chairman of the budget committee of the Chamber of Commerce, submitted written resolutions urging that the council respect i the Integrity of the 1924 budget and not pass salary ordinances which the budget was not Intended to carry.

"It is the same situation that many farmers and farm banks in the State must face. Unfortunately, I am a farmer and a banker.
