BOARD OPPOSES ' SCHOOL TAX CUE AS SUGGESTED Members Defend $1.09 Levy as Providing Only Very Urgent Repairs. Contending that taxpayers .must pay the pripe if the school system is to be developed, school board members today indicated they wHI not accept the 6.25 cents proposed cut in the 1927 tax levy suggested by Leonard V. Harrison, Chamber of Commerce civic expert, at the public hearing Monday. \ Harrison urged postponement of part of the building program. President Theodore F. Vonnegut defended the tentative levy of $1.09 on the •ound that everythin*, possible had ) en eliminated from the estimate ■ i id only repairing that was urgent " as included. Considers Tonight. Formal consideration will be given Uie budget by the school commissioners at regular meeting tonight. Vonnegut said he expected the tentative figure to stand. Superintendent E. U. Graff pointed out the urgent need for structures to replaoe portables over the city, declaring it impractical to Yeplace . temporary structures with other wooden buildings. “Some portables have been in use in a number of localities every since I came to Indianapolis, nine years ago. Many are falling {lown. Why replace them with other portables?” said Graff. “We gain nothing by not building permanent structures.” Recently Graff prepared an estimate of $1,800,000 t 6 cover cost of urgent buildings. Commissioner Charles W. Kern pointed out the law allows use of a portable only two years, while many are used in Indianapolis eight and ten. Says Repairs Behind “The trouble with Indianapolis is the taxpawers are trying to educate its children by bond issues, and in reality the children themselves will not only have to meet the principal, but heavy interest. If we are going to have good schools, they will cost money. This year the board is way behind on its repair program,” Ivern stated. “To cut the budget would be to restrict the soope of the school system?’ Fred Bates Johnson, a commissioner, declared. “Our problem is to have a little left over from the budget and not to run under.” Business Manager Ure M. Frazer I defended the repair program stating everything had been eut (that would not entail additional expense by postponement. Considerable discussion was given to Harrison's proposal that smaller high schools be built in growing sections instead of centralizing high schools attendance in a huge instltuion, Graff pointed out the facilities at Technical, for which proposed additions and improvements were included in the budget, are Inadequate for any size student body. Assembly rQom, and gymnasium are needed to make facilities complete, Graff stated. It is also proposed to fcrect additional classrooms to relieve congestion.

HAAG DRUG COMPANY ANNOUNCE ARRIVAL OF HUSKY SPECIALIST

A. G. Payne, From ths Blue Grass Region of Kentucky, to Aid Thousands Regain Good Health.

Already Several Indianapolis Residents Who Suffered for Years Have Been Benefited.

Having studied law at an early age, Mr. A. G. Payne, of Lexington, Ky., later found that his inclinations leaned more toward medical science than to law. H than began the study of chemlstryv and botany in which branches of science he displayed amazing ability. Today Mr. Payne is known in every large city in America for his unique views on how to feel well and be vigorous at the age of sixty-five v Among Mr. Payne's achievements is the discovery of a medicine known as “Husky” which works wonderfully on the stomach, kidneys, liver and nerves. Owing to the large number of Inquiries that the Drug Company, of this city, have had for Husky, they invited Mr. Payne I to come to Indianapolis and explain to the trade just how to take this medicine to secure best results. Last Wednesday evening Mr. Payne arrived, accompanied by his secretary, J. W. Qray, en route from St. Louis to Lexington, where he had been attending a series of lectures. He advised yesterday that they may remain In Indianapolis for several weeks. Mr. Payne says that the stomach, kidneys, liver and nerves are responsible for nearly every ailment that attacks the human body and he especially mentioned dyspepsia,constipation, rheumatic ills and lumbago. Although Mr. Payne has been here only a few days already several very complicated cases have been relieved ny his medicine. A typical example of what Husky will do is embodied In the following statement: “I suffered with stomach, kidney and liver trouble,” says Mrs. Flor N ence McCouley, 720 N.

FIGHT CASE TO •MOVE EASTWARD (Continued From Page 1) and will serve as some basis of Judgment by the true sportsmen of the country. “You may be Sure that this case was not brought merely to settle hypothetical questions, but to give real relief and we expect to enforce the decision which has beeVi given us.” Weisberg, who was instrumental in bringing Dempsey and Wills together for the purpose of signing contracts at Niles, Mich., expressed his gratification at the decision. “The decision not only settles the matters of legal rights, but will be welcomed by those who believe that the same integrity and honesty should be shown by our champion boxers ns is deemed of other men. I have been interested in this matter from the standpoint of real and clean /sportsmanship. My position and statements are now vindicted by the courts. We have tried to demonstrate "that contracts for athletic contests, as in other enterprises, are not mere scraps of paper.” Judge Givan declared that “If the Pennsylvania courts follow the constitution they cannot help but issue a similar, or at least a temporary, injunction.” \ Judge Givan stated that Dempsey “did have a valid contract' with the Chicago Coliseum Club which would have been enforcible under the laws of Illinois,” and that it was not delivered in escrew to a Los Angeles bank for Dempsey, but for Floyd Fitzsimmons, fight promoter and friend of Dempsey. The court further found Dempsey indicated he would violate the contract, first, by refusing to fight, and second, by refusing to be examined for life insurance. Judge Givan said the evidence is conclusive and undisputed that the Chicago Coliseum Club has suffered thousands of dollars damage. Fight or Bout In ruling on whether the proposed match was to be a prize fight or boxing exhibition Judge Givan said: “I believe the court in this case would have to take notice that w T hlle Mr. Dempsey was very peaceable when America's best youth was fighting for S3O a month he is a formidable fighter when a million dollars is at stake for one night’s work, and that it wo-Id be very probable that shou’d the fight take place between Wills and Dempsey there would be references the following day to the ‘fight’ that took place the night before, and expressions such as were used in one newspaper following the Dempsey-Willard fight, referring to one of the ‘actors’ as bleeding like a stuck hog, might again reappear." ‘ The evidence indicates that should Wills have defeated Dempsey, Wills should have been declared the heavyweight fighting champion of the world,” the court said. Should the proposed bout take place in Philadelphia, and Tunney knocked out Dempsey, Tunney would bg declared the prize fighting the world, Judge Givan stated. “The court is therefore forced to the opinion that though carrying out of this contract" would have been illegal in the State of Indiana, yet where the property right has accrued in other states, where it had been legal both make and carry the contract, the court must pen its doors to enforce he property rights already accrued. Duty of Court “The question as to whether the decree of this court will be recognized and enforced by the courts of Pennsylvania has nothing to do with the merits of this case, nor with the duty of this court to decide the question that is presented to it. “The finding of the court is, therefore, tl\at an injunction must be issued, permanently enjoining Jack Dempsey from engaging in any boxing contests or prize fights, as the particular individual might desire .to style them until he has carried out this contract with the plaintiffs,” the court ruled. '* Givan’s ruling was made shortly after 10 Monday night. The entire day was devoted to completing of evidence and hearing of arguments after which both sides presented briefs. The witnesses were Fitzsimmons and B. E. Clements, club presidents, in rebuttal. Arguments for Dempsey were made by Earl Cox and Frank \ A. Symmes. Arguments fof'the plaintiff were made by Farabaugh', Arthur Arnold of South Bend/ and Sol H. 'Esarey.

Bu United Press J, PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 14.—The injunction issued in Indianapolis against holding of the Dempsey-Tun-ney battle hefce Sept. 23 will “have no effect whatever” in Pennsylvania, in the_ opinion'of Edwin M. Abbott, well-known lawyer and cotinsel for the Sesquicentennial Exposition. “If proceedings are instituted here I doubt if the Indiana injunction would would influence the Pennsylvania court's ' decision, which of course, would rest on the legal merits of the case,” he said today. “Surely, our plans will go right along to stage the bout just as if there had been no interference,” declared Tex Rickard, promoter of the bout. “Never have I opposed the courts and I don't intend to begin now. “I figure I have a legal right to stage- the bout here. Governor Pinthot has approved it as well as officials of thai-Sesqulcentennial.” “We will go right ahead and plan for the bout and let the legal end take care of Itself.” said Frank Wiener, chairman of, the Pennsylvania athletic commission. “Just how far-reaching that injunction is. and whether it can stop the fight in Pennsylvania will have to be determinted later. But I hardly see how It can stop the fight.” TO SEEK DEATH CAUSE Post-Mortem by Coroner on Body Found at Fall Creek. Coroner Paul F. Robinson this morning was to hold a post-mortem examination of the body of an unidentified man found late Monday on the bank of Fall creek near Northwestern Ave. He will determine whether the man was murdered or drowned and whether ho was white or Negro. , • The body was found on the bank by two fishermen, Perry Moss, 2509 Rader St., and Leon Pettis, 2466 Byron St. Motor Policemen Oakley and Small found the man’s coat and two empty pocketbooks a short distance from the body.

REMINDS FARMERS OF THEIR LOSSES Democrat Senate Candidate Blames High Tariff. % B i/ Times Bvecinl TURKEY RUN, Ind., Sept. 14Speaking at the annual picnic of the Indiana Farm Bureau Federation here this afternoon, AlbPrt Stump, Democratic candidate for the long term in the United States Senate stressed the loss of $20,000,000 in farm vlaues in America from 192tfd925. This loss was sustained undev high protective tariff's on farm products, he said and pointed out that wheat, under the Fordney-Mc-Cumber tariff, is selling for less in the United States today than it is bringing Canada. The speech, in part, was as follow's: “Farmers of Indiana should not make the mistake of expecting that the very conditions which have proven burdensome to them will be changed by the forces which fixed and profit by those conditions. Forces amassing great fortunes under present condition will not release their hold upon Government without a struggle. “Senator AVatson commented on the way in which the farmers had been given the protection of a high tariff on wheat. Under the operation of these very laws which Senator Watson was instrumental in placing on the statute books and keepjng there, the value of the farms in America depreciated $20,000,000,000 from 1920 to 1925, i. e., at the rate of $4,000,000,000 a year. "Now, in the face of that loss to agriculture, I bring to your attention an Item from the Washington Post of Sept. 10 to the effect that 1,200 corporations in the United States will net more than $5,000,000,000 profit this very year. Speaking of prosperity, there is an instance of it, but where Is the prosperity of the farmer?”
