FACTS OF LOT DEAL MAY GO TO GRAND JURY Matter May Be Made Part of Alleged Political Corruption Quiz. PREDICT COUNCIL PROBE Investigation Probably Will Be Asked at Next Session of City Chiefs. Investigation of the purchase of a lot at Thirty-Eighth St. and Central Ave., by John F. Snyder and later by City Councilman O. Ray Albertson probably will be made by the county grand jury, it was learned today. “The grand jury will consider anything of that nature which affects the public,” Deputy Prosecutor William H. Sheaffer said. ShealTer indicated the matter may be taken up as part of the probe into alleged political corruption. He said the jury is “busy at this time,” but probably will look into the lot transaction. Council May Probe Deal Several council members have said an investigation of the deal may be made by the council at the next meeting. According to records Snyder bought the lot from the park board at an advertised sale on Nov. 5, 1926, and on the same day sold it to Albertson for a profit of about S3OO. Snyder paid $2,500 for the location. Check for payment of .he first sale was not received by the park board until March 16, which was turned into the board by Snyder. Properly Value Gains Two months after the city received payment on the property, title to which had already been obtained by Albertson, the councilman introduced an ordinance rezoning the site for business. This enhanced the location’s value, it is said. According to Corporation Counsel Schuyler Haas the deal will have no bearing on Albertson’s official position unless he used his office to obtain money for personal gain.

Father, Police Chief Return From Hurried Mystery Trip. By United Press STREATOR, 111., Aug. 26.—Presence in Streator today of Dr. H. C. Hill, Chief of Police Robb and W. C. Jopcs, attorney, who left suddenly last night, was believed to indicate that any hope Harry Hill contemplated surrender to stand trial for killing his mother, was unfounded. The men were believed to have undertaken an all-night automobile trip to bring the fugutive back. But they returned to their places of business this morning, it was learned. It was reasoned that if they had been out all night they would have slept late. Failure of all three to make any statement, however, supported the belief they had learned something of the youth’s whereabouts last night. They all refused to discuss it, however. Hill has beeen missing since the discovery of his mother’s body in a shallow grave in the basement of her Streator home. He financed his flight, police learned, with forged checks after having his automobile overhauled and equipped for a long trip. Meantime, State’s Attorney Russell C. Hanson was attempting to prove mud on a pair of young Hill’s shoes was similar to the clay in which the body was buried, under the bricks of the basement floor. The shoes were-found yesterday in the home of the dead* woman, and have been definitely established as belonging to her son. SCIENTISTS CONVENE foundation Session Opens at Winona Lake.

THINK BOMBER HURT * Attempt Made to Wreck Big Baltimore Sewage Plant. By United Press BALTIMORE, Aug. 26.—Watch was being kept at hospitals today for a man believed injured while bombing this city’s sewage disposal pumping plant in the Italian district at 11:05 last night. A policeman reported seeing 'a "dark” man running past him immediately following the explosion, which damaged slightly the pumping plant and the near by city morgue. The man was hunched forward, and police believe he may have been hurt when the homemade bomb exploded prematurely. Had the explosion razed a 200foot ventilator stack overhead or damaged the plant’s machinery it would have caused practically all the city’s sewage to back up. The pumps handle 82,500,000 gallons of sewage a day. TAX SUIT WELCOMED County Will Not Fight Move Against Refund. County officials will not fight, the Federal injunction suit filed Thursday by E. C.

School Bell Due to Ring on Sept. 5 And 250 Teachers Will Watch for 10,000 Pupils to Come Down Road. Ten thousand and one hundred children will troop to schools in Marion County outside Indianapolis when they open Labor day, it was announced today by County School Superintendent Lee Swails. This is an increase of about 200 over the total registration last year, he said, will begin work. Approximately 250 school teachers will begin work. Vacations Different Program for the school year differs to a great extent from that of city schools—in the minds of the pupils—due to the fact that vacations arc few and far between. In the first place, the children start to school on Labor day while Indianapolis schools do not open until Sept. 12. There is no spring vacation for the township * and county school pupils, but with the exception of two townships the school years ends in April. In Center and Warren Townships the term does not end until May. Two days are allowed for Thanksgiving and a week for Christmas. No Crowded Schools There will be no crowded conditions in the county schools, Swails stated. “There are new schools under construction but they will not be open until next year,” he said. "At present, though, all buildings are in good condition and there is ample room for the pupils, including the normal increase that is seen.” County school teachers today are preparing for the new year, with the close the Marion County Teachers’ Institute which was held this week.

Kentucky and Indiana Darkest on Geologists’ Maps, Says Speaker. Kentucky and Indiana arc the darkest spots on the archeological map of the Mississippi \ alley, said William R. Teel, chairman of the archeological section of the IndianaHistorical Bureau, speaking on mound builders to the Service Club. State aid for the scientific study and investigation of these should be provided here as in other States, he said. Building of mounds by these early people was not confined to this locality, as many suppose, he said. The Egyptian pyramids are nothing less than mounda. As sand couldn’t be used the builders employed stone, making a more lasting monument than those elsewhere formed of earth. Why Were They Built? The pre-Columbian American dians knew nothing of the moundbuilders, who had preceded them, although they likely descended from them. According to Teel, it is a matter of conjecture why these mounds were built. Many of them were used as sepulchers, some seem to be sacrificial spots and others as lookouts. Teel told of participating in an exploration of the Albee Mound, located in the northwestern portion of Sullivan County. Although there are about fourteen others in this vicinity this one was selected for study. It is 32 feet high, extending 375 feet from east to west and 295 feet in a north-aifd-south direction, covering three acres. Life Not Nomadic Excepting for a few crude hierogryphics no indication of a written language was found. The life of the mound-builders was different from the Indians, who were nomadic. Archeologists believe the moundbuilders were less transient, as articles found in mounds imply that they raised such crops as corn and beans, and gathered nuts. The location of numerous mounds near streams is interpreted to mean that the builders were also fishermen. WOULD DIVORCE‘IN-LAW’ Learns Marriage to ExWife’s Mother Is Illegal.

ANOTHER IRISH VOTE ORDERED Cosgrave Group Call for General Election.

The victory at the same time added two votes to the one-vote majority received by the government on the recent no-confidence motion, but on that occasion only the abstention from voting of one cf the Republican deputies prevented the motion from carrying.

HIGH TAXES OPPOSED Realtors Want Rate Kept Down Next Year. A plea for keeping the tax rate down was made Thursday by directors of the Indianapolis Real Estate Board. A statement prepared by President L. H. Lewis was addressed to George N. Montgomery, Marion County council president, and City Clerk William Boyce Jr. “The Indianapolis Real Estate Board, while not posing 'as an organization of experts in the subject of taxation, feels amply justified in saying that the tax rate fixed by all local taxing units in 1927 should be held down to a reasonable basis,” the statement says in part. “The cost of operating our government has increased in recent years by leaps and bounds. It is time to have a recess—there can be no harm in taking ‘time out’ for recapitulation. We realize this is a swift moving age in more ways than one, that conditions change over night, but at the same time we feel warranted in saying a short delay in spending bgi money will work no injury.”
