The State Tax Board today refused > approve the proposed expenditure f $303,351 for the C. C. Shipp heat.iff and ventilating system made landatory in the plans for the new hortridge High School.

Early construction is imperative, as the old Shortridge building must be vacated Jan. 1, 1929. Basis for the tax bdard’s objection came from a comparison of the ; •irt ridge beating and ventilating j with similar bids on other sys- I lems in two other local sehoos under I 'onstructlon. It is estimated a sav- I ng of about $125,000 can be effected by allowing competitive bidding. Revamp Plans “To revamp plans to include the fferent systems will cost SO,OOO : apiece in architects’ fees, beside the lay," declared Jacob H. Ililkene, ' buildings and grounds superintendent, who tabulated the bids. “General construction can not start until the system of heating and ventilating is definitely decided upon," said Ure M. Frazer, schools business manager. “If the syste mis revised, it becomes necessary to readvertise for the general contract hid.

DEATH PENALTY REPEAL ASKED Measure Seeks Abolishment of Capital Punishment. A bill to abolish capital punishment in Indiana was introduced into the Indiana House of Representatives today by Representative Russell V. Duncan, Indianapolis. The first suggestion of such action on the part of the -present Legislature came from Deputy Prosecutor John L. Niblack, Marion County. “It seems a tragedy to release the fellows with big money, or at most, give them prison sentences,” said Duncan, referring to the proposed measure, “while the poor chap without money goes to the gallows. “Death,” he added, “is not always the worst punishment, and then we must remember that a greater law has supplanted the old ‘eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth,’ law of ancient Judea.”

NO, SIR, THAT CAT IS OURS, SENATOR INSISTS So Former Representative Has to ‘Apologize’ for Mistake His Wife Made at Show.

By Orr Times Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.—" Kitty: Kitty! Why you’re my own lost Buster brindle cat.” exclaimed Mrs. Stuart F. Reed, the wife of a former West Virginia representative at a Washington eat show. She had paused before the cage of a gray alley cat. “See Senator Bayard of Delaware," the club officials said. This cat was entered in the show by the Bayards as "Moby Dick.” The two Congressional families went into executive session, j t Ex-Congressman Reed later explained: "WWT. Tfeed was mistaken. The mattei. Is a closed incident. This cat was purchased by Mrs. Bayard from a local pet dealer when it was it small kitten and is unquestionably the property of the Bayard children: The point is simply that Mrs. Reed happened to see the brindle which looked very much like the cat we lost. The whole matter is unfortunate, and I am sorry that It happened." SOCIETY UPSET Washington society was upset this week when it was learned that the former Nancy Hoyt, now Mrs. GeraM Gynn Wynne, had separated from her husband of a few months, and gone back to her mother’s home. Mrs. Wynne, a modern, temperamental member of the Washington younger set, came into press notice first, when, on the very eve of her marriage to Lieut. F. Wiseman Clark of the British navy, she decided to break the engagement. She returned the young man’s ring. He and his parents sailed for home. After this event Miss Hoyt began combiping a literary career with her social aotivites.

Her novel, "Roundabout,” attained the proportions of a best seller. Last May Nancy married Gerald Wynn Wynne, another Englishman, and the couple settled down In Washington. Nancy’s sister. Elinor Wylie Benet. is also a well-known novelist, while her husband, William Rose Benet, is a poet of distinction. CAT “HIGH-HATS” HER The Washington cat show not only upsets the Bayard children and Mrs. Reed but aDo gave Mrs. WynnWynne a surprise. She said she wanted to see a cat named London Lad, exhibited by Miss India Corea, daughter of the former Nicaraguan minUter.. “London Lad.” was once owned by Mrs. Wynn-Wynne. Having brought him over from London only last fall, she thought he ought to recognize her. When she spoke to him. and reached out her hand to -pat him, he turned up his nose, gave her a stare, as if to say. “Who are you, anyway?” He then walked away, very dignified and haughty. . . MRS. COLBY WRITES BOOK Washington society is rather proud of the recent literary efforts of Mrs. Bainbrldge Colby, wife of the former secretary of State. Her flfst novel, “The Green Forest,” has been hailed by reviewers as within a shade of being a really great book. Brilliant, they declare, is none too strong an adjective to apply to it. NICE LT’L JUNKET Closing days of the Sixty-Ninth Congress mean frequent night sessions and consequent trouble for any hostesses. However there are compensations. For instance, there is a nice little congressional junket in sight.

The Panama Railroad Company is owned by the government. The/trip will coat Congressmen nothing, for

Save This Law

The bosses arc endeavoriug lo kill the city manager form of government for cities through subterfuge. They are attempting to prevent the people of this city from changing, if they so desire, the government of this city until the expiration of the term of the present mayor. They know that the people would vote tomorrow, if they had the opportunity, for such a change. It is time for the people to act. If you want the chance to keep your own government under your own control, tell your Senators that you have intelligence to know what you want and when you want it and need no such guardianship or intrusion into’your affairs. Ihe Marion County Senators are: Sumner Clancy, Fred 1 M. Dickerson, Wttliam P. Evans- Russell B. Harrison, "William T. Quillin. Republican politicians intent upon vitiating the Indiana city manager law captured another objective' today when the State Senate accepted, without a dissenting vote, the report of the elections committee favoring passage of the bill to save the jobs of mayors in cities which adopt tho manager or commisisou form of government. The same quiet political efficiency which marked introduction of tiie bill near the close of the morning session Thursday and its rapid consideration Thursday afternoon by the elections committee, of whicli Senator James J. Nejdl (Rep.) Lake Count\. is chairman, marked the acceptance of the committee report this morning.

Ordinarily committees let bills lay around a week or two before even considering them. The House judiciary A committee let the resolution, for a legislative inquiry into Indiana political corruption lay from Jan. 19 until Thursday, Feb. 3, before reporting upon it. The Gimms bill was reported out of committee so rapidly that proponents of the city manager bill did not have time to marshal their forces to express their opposition. They were given no opportunity whatever to appear before the committee, j which held jusft one meeting upon j the measure. This meeting Was a hasty gathering around the desk of the chairman in the Senate chamber late Thursday afternoon. Reason for Opposition The city manager advocates oppose the bill because it provides that | whenever citizens vote'to change the , form of municipal government tho mayor shall not be ousted, but shall j continue in office until the end of the i term for which he was elected. The j hill is specifically designed, it is un- ! derstood, to save the jobs of Mayor John L. Duvall of Indianapolis and Mayor Herbert Males of Evansville, both threatened by city manager movements. The Sims bill will be printed and go to second reading in the Senate next week. Cravens Is Thwarted The action of the Republicans was so rapid and so quiet today that Senator Joseph M. Cravens (Dem.), Madison, member of the election committee, who had planned to file a minority report against the bill, was left “standing at the post.” Many Senators did not know what they were voting upon when the committee report was accepted, since it was put before them merely as a

LOCAL CIVIC LEADERS STIRRED BY MEASURE

Aroused over introduction of a Senate bill providing that the city manager form of government shall not be instituted during the tenure of office of a mayor, several leading Indianapolis citizens gave these opinions today: FRANK E. GATES, ex-president real estate board: “If the city manager form is what the people want, what’s the use of going through two years more of the old political system. I would rather have the law the way It stands, but I do not see that the bill will seriously handicap our program. It is natural the politicians would be opposed to the city manager form. I expect to do everything I can to defeat the bill’s passage.” EDWARD O. SNETHEN. attorney: “We’ll get together and do everything possible to defeat the bill. The bill is a direct slap at the city manager movement, and appears to be the effort of politicians to delay institution of 4he new form. A few special delivery le&ters and telegrams might help." FRANKLIN VGNNEGUT. Vonnegut Hardware Company president: “I am strongly in favor of adoption of the city manager form of municipal government, as recommended by the citizens committee, and I am opposed to strong-arm methods being used to defeat this desirable end.” CARL A.

Meanwhile, advocates of the manager plan in Indianapolis were organizing to fight 4he measure. The Indianapolis city manager committee of 1,000, composed of itiany leading business and professional men. plan revival of the active campaign for the business-liko form of local government. Will Block Move Charles F. Coffin, State Life Insurance Company counsel, the chairman, is in Florida, but several leaders of the move conferred In an effort to block the bill’s passage. A committee has been circulating city manager election petitions in Evansville and Is understood to have 15,000 signatures. A mass meeting in the interests of the movement will be held in Evansville, Sunday. Leaders of the local city manager movement are desirous that the present law be kept intact and will do all they can to block passage ‘of the Sims measure, according to J. W. Esterline of Eslerline-Angus Company, an executive committeeman. American Club Favors The city manager plan for Indianapolis was indorsed 22 to 13 by tho American Business Club at luncheon Thursday at the Columbia Club. The vote was taken after debate. J. \V. Esterline spoke in favor of the manager plan at a previous meeting and Alva Rucker, former city corporation counsel, oppqsed it . Webster Wright, sales manager of Jones-Whltaker Company, led the membership discussion with a talk in favor of the plan. James Perry of the Indianapolis Heat and Light Company presided.

typical of politics as It Is played today. I am in favor of the city manager plan, because I believe It trill attract higher types of men than the present system seems capable of doing. We have investigated more than 360 cities that have adopted the manager plan, and out of that number only three reverted to the mayoralty form. 1 have no plan in mind to prevent action on the' bill.’* SOL SCHLOSS, former president of city health board: “I believe we should get busy at once and have many friends of the city manager plan at the Statehouse Friday morning. At least those who have been actively engaged in boosting the work should be on hand.” HERBERT FOLTZ, architect: ‘‘We need some concerted action right away. The idea of getting together many friends of this form of government and having them at the Statshouse today is best. We've got to show some support and oppose this amendment. I’m in with the crowd and will do all I can. We’ve certainly got to show some opposition to this piece of proposed legislation." JAMES I. DISSETTE, Indianapolis Wirt Bound Box Company vice president; "Out best plan on so short a notice Would be to round up many of the bpponents to this amendment and have them at the Statehouse this morning. I’ll do my part. I’m strong for the city manager pUm and will certakily do all X can to aid ti>* cause.” • .
