Expect Quarter Million A quarter million visitors are expected, according to Guy Cantwell, State agricultural board president, in charge of the fair. This year’s premium list of $155,190.50, is approximately $20,000 higher than that of last year and the highest ever to be offered to fair exhibitors here. This has had a marked effect on entry lists, Cantrell said. The four new buildings added to the State Fair group have rounded out the ‘plant” and make it one of the greatest State fair gorunds in the country, Cantwell said. The new structures are: Administration, Red Cross, "Better Babies” and Poultry buildings. Horse Show Is Feature Whippet races will be held in front of the grandstand in the afternoon. One of the most pretentious horse shows ever presented here will be staged each night in the Coliseum. There will be no Coliseum show of any kind tonight, however, in front of the grandstand, fireworks and vaudeville, bands and carnival attractions will keep up a constant round of activity. Fairgrounds will be open all day Sunday, but there will be no racing, carnival, vaudeville or" similar attraction. All exhibits, however, will be open.

Jordan will speak on “Cash, Character, Culture and Agriculture.” Old-Time Machinery Shown Special exhibits, carrying out the Diamond Jubilee theme and remSniscent of early day fairs, attracted much attention at the opening.

COUNCIL CALLS BUDGETPARLEY Meeting Slated for Today on 1928 Appropriation. Councilmen were to meet in special session tilts afternoon to introduce the 1928 budget appropriation and tax levy ordinances. The ordinance fixing the tax rate called for a $1.19 levy, as recommended by the city controller, but will be amended Monday night, following the 1928 public hearing.

Negley, so the budget may be passed without suspension of rules Monday night. City Attorney John K. Ruckelshaus gave an opinion that the session was legal. Albertson declared the rate probably will be about sl.lO, the figure recommended by the Chamber of Commerce civic staff, headed by William H. Book. Book and the committee met Friday night to complete the study. Boynton U. Moore, council majority faction leader, reiterated his statement that he would amend the budget to provide a 50-cent daily increase for police and firemen.
WHEAT OPENS DOWN Evening Up Apparent on Chicago Market. By United Press CHICAGO, Sept. 3.—A general evening up by traders in grain futures was in progress here early today in view of the week-end and Monday inactivity. Opening prices found wheat 14c to Me lower than the previous close; corn Me to %c lower and oats Me higher. Liverpool cables were about as expected this morning. Weather in Canada was improved. Traders were inclined to go slow, due to uncertainty of the weather, and it was the general opinoin that few would be found short when the market closed this afternoon. Rains were reported over the night in parts of the lowa com belt, and there was a slight lowering of temperatures west of the Mississippi River. Experts said at least thirty days more of warm weather would be needed for maturity of most of the crop. There was no news in oats today and trade in this pit was light. Provisions opened unchanged.

BY THOMAS L. STOKES United Press Staff Correspondent By United 'Press WASHINGTON. Sept. 3.—Dr. Charles F. Marvin, chief of the United States Weaether Bureau, today came back at those meteorologists who contend tjiis is a “summertess year,” charging them with “distorting” the facts. “People are deceived easily by these weather prophets,” he declared, in an interview with the
BRITISH FLIER SOARS AWAY ON SEA DASH Courtney’s Air Boat, Whale, Off From Plymouth, England, for New York. PRINCESS IS GIVEN UP Scant Chance for Rescue; World Airmen Speed Across Asia. Bp United Press While thousands of persons sorrowed for Princess Anne Lowen-stein-Wertheim and her two companions In the missing monoplane St. Raphael, another British plane soared away today for New York with a mystery passenger aboard. The plane was Capt. Frank T. Courtney’s Dornier-Napier flying boat "Whale.” Courtney left Cattewater Airdome at Plymuoth, Eng., at 12; 36 a. m., E. 8. TANARUS., today, en route to Horta, Azores. There he will refuel for a flight to Newfoundland, whence the plane would proceed to New York. A plane believed to have been Courtney's was sighted today 125 mUes off the English coast and going strong. Departure Sudden Courtney’s departure today was sudden. It came after weeks of delay caused by unfavorable weather and the need for minor repairs to the ship. A number of attempts had been made previous to today to take off but all were unsuccessful, as the Whale had refused to leave the water. The British airman had announced last night that the start would not be made today, but apparently the Ideal weather conditions caused him to change his mind. In addition to Courtney and R. F. kittle and. F. W. M. Downer, who comprised his crew, the flying Whale canted an unidentified millionaire, believed to have been E. B. Hosmer of Montreal. Given Up as Dead Princess Anne, F. F. Minchin and Resile Hamilton, who disappeared in the St. Raphael en route from Upavon, England, to Ottawa, Canada, have been given up for dead. The scant chance that they may have been picked up by a vessel without wireless or that a landing may have been made in some isolated area was too slight to arouse much hope. America’s ’round-the-world fliers penetrated Asia today, en route from Bagdad *to Bendar Abbas, Persia. Brock and Schlee left Bagdad In the Pride of Detroit at 7 a. m. Delays en route from New Foundland had put them considerably behind the schedule which they must maintain if they are to lower the existing twenty-eight and a half day record for a trip around the world. Two Planes Down Canada’s two trans-Atlantic airplanes stllF were grounded today where they were forced down Thursday. The Sir John Carling, attempting a flight from London, Ont., to London, Eng., was at Caribou, Me. Plying conditions were uncertain. The ( Royal Windsor, en route from Windsor, Ont., to Windsor, Eng., was at Mount Johnson, Que. Charles A. Levine and his pilot Capt. Walter Hinchcliffe, expected to make trial flights today at Cranwell airdrome, Eng., in the monoplane Columbia, in which Levine still says he will fly across the Atlantic, westward. The start was not likely today. Old Glory, William Randolph Hearst’s nominee for a flight from New York to Rome, still was at Roosevelt field.

Marvin said frankly that he can not explain it. .This August, he said, probably was the coolest on record in the capital, well-Jfnown for its steam-1

But, on the whole, crops haven’t suffered." The year without a summer?

LABOR DAY TO BE QUIET HERE Union Heads Decide Against Special Program. Labor day In Indianapolis bids fair to be no of the quietest in years, since no program has been by the labor federations other than the convention of the post office clerks, and a dance. No particular Labor day exercises will be held, aooording to John Smith, president of the Central Labor Union. Opening of the State fair also will attract a considerable number of people belonging to the unions and a number of delegates to the State convention at Bloomington, which closes today, will not have returned to the city. The dance will be held at night in Tomlinson Hall, with music provided by Lynch’s “Night Hawks ” Smith said. A large number of delegates and their wives attending the post office clerks’ convention are expected to be present.
How the Market Opened
■ NEW YORK, Sept. 3.—lmminence of a two-day holiday was offset by more cheerful outlook for autumn trade and Improvement in railroad earnings, and stock market prices in early dealings continued their upward movement. Trading was active. < States Steel and General Mffiprs ruled fractionally above the previous closing levels, while motor shares in general firmed up on reports of record-breaking production in August. Mercantile shares held steady after thbir recent rise, utilities firmed up, tire shares were higher with minings, while the general rap of industrials advanced. Buying in the railroad section was encouraging to those who had predicted better fall business for the carriers. Among the issues showing gains this morning were Erie, Atchison, New Haven, Missouri Pacific and Western Maryland. American Can was still favored in the industrial group, while Colorado Fuel spurted a full point. United States Rubber also firmed up. Trading was brisk at the opening with prices generally higher. Activity was continued almost entirely to industrials, and among these American Can at 6514 and Baldwin at 263 established new record highs, while Montgomery-Ward and National Bisect duplicated their former highs. General American Tank Car was up fractionally. It is expected that directors of this concern scheduled to meet early in the week will place the stock on a $4 basis, against the present rate of $3. Railroad shares were generally quiet.
“year without a summer.” Dr. Marvin regards that as a myth. “Weather reports in 1816 were very few,” he explained. “There were two places in New England that were cold. But we always have had freak spots in any year, and I doubt if crops generally suffered very much. “We are not able to specify any particular cause for any particular weather abnormality. It all comes from the general circulation of the air, but that is begging the iquag-

NEW BATTLE LAUNCHED TO FREE STEVE Rooker, Indianapolis Lawyer, Starts Freedom Fight in Federal Court. WRIT HEARING DATE SET Prisoner to Appear Thursday Before U. S. Judge at South Bend. m A By United Press SOUTH BEND. Ind.. Sept. 3. Another battle to get D. C. Stephenson out of the Michigan City State Prison has been started in Federal Courts by Thomas V. Rooker, Indianapolis attorney, who appeared for George Dale, Muncie publisher, and Dr. E. S. Shumaker. Superintendent of the Indiana Anti-Saloon League, in separate contempt of court actions. Stephenson will get out of prison Thursday, when he Is to appear before Judge Thomas Slick in Federal District Court here at the hearing on Rooker's petition for Stephenson’s release on a writ of habeas corpus. Acting, he said, for unidentified friends of Stephenson, Rooker attacked legality of Stephenson’s trial for the murder of Madge Oberlioltzer, in a brief asserting that the former Ku-Klux Klan leader was imprisoned in violation of his constitutional lights. Due process of law was lacking In his conviction, Rooker asserted, because of failure of the Marion County clerk to sign the transcript for a change of venue to the Hamilton County Court at Noblesville. Rooker contended Stephenson was convicted after there had been filed “an anonymous paper brought by an unknown messertger.” He referred to the “unsigned, uncertified change of venue.” Warden Walter H. Daly of the Michigan City prison was made defendant. as a result. Attorney General Arthur L. Gilllom. who will return to Indianapolis Monday from a trip to Chicago, will fight the action in behalf of the warden. The Federal Court brief is similar to one filed before the La Porte County Superior Court, which denied a writ. This case has been appealed to the State Supreme Court.

Two well-dressed young NegrQ bandits were thwarted in their second hold-up early today, when Homer French, 1620 Hoefgen St., milk wagon driver, knocked one of the men down.

JOHNSON GOES ON DUTY AS CONTROLLER Rumors Galore Circulate in City Hall; Fat Job for Buser Hinted. COLLINS KEEPS BERTH Wise Ones See Burying of Ax Between Factions of Coffin and Dodson. Former Police Chief Claude F. Johnson, who Friday became city controlling, succeeding William C. Buser, Mayor Duvall's brother-in-law, today took up preliminaryduties of his office. He visited the office this morning to familiarize himself somewhat with the routine, but expected to “go to work in earnest” Tuesday. Monday is a holiday. A persistent rumor that Buser was to receive a $4,200 berth in the boared of works office was denied by Duvall. It also had been rumored that Buser was to replace City Purchasing Agent John J. Collins. ‘Friend’ Helps Collins But it was reported today that a “friend” had interceded for Collins and he would remain. Trial oi Collins on a charge of soliciting a bribe is pending in Criminal Court. With Duvall facing false election statement charges Sept. 12, before Criminal Judge James A. Collins, many believed the appointment of Johnson as controller was paving the way for Duvall’s resignation. Duvall did not comment. City hall observers were discussing a report that Buser was to succeed Ralph Boyer, works board clerk and junior field aid in the flood prevention department. Those familiar with Boyer’s work declared Buser has not had the technical education required for the post. Boyer has been regarded as very efficient and is backed by the works board. Duvall said Buser, away on vacation, would return to private life. Deny Chahges Planned Virgil Vandagrifft, works board president, and Frank Cones, board member, said they knew of no changes planned in the works board staff. A report that Wayne G. Emmelman, works board secretary, would be succeeded by Boyer was discredited today because of Emmelman's wide acquaintance and his position as Republican city and county secretary. Emmelman is a strong George V. Coffin faction supporter. The appointment of Police Chief Claude M. Worley and Safter Board President Frederick W. Connell started a report that County Republican Chairman George V. Coffin and Otis Dodson, former Coffin worker, had “gotten together.” Peace Is Reported The factional chiefs were reported to have dropped the “ax,” 6ince Worley is close to Coffin and Connell is a known Dodson friend. Johnson has asked for a leave of absence from the police force and plans to return to the department on expiration of his term as controller, that he may serve three years more which to gain a pension.
MOTORCYCLE COP IS RELIEVED OF BADGE Drove His Own Car Instead of Chasing Speeders, Is Charge. The job of chasing speeders apparently did not appeal to Motorcycle Policeman Patsy McMahon. 4305 College Ave., Friday night. As a result Patsy, former prize fighter, is under suspension. Traffic Captain Lester ones, who suspended McMahon, said the officer roared out of headqurters on his motorcycle at his regular hour, 4 p. m. Friday. A short time later McMahon rode back, left his mount and got Into his personal automobile. About 7:45 p. m. McMahon drove back and went to his locker to change from his uniform to civilian clothing. Then ones charged him with intoxication and took his badge from him. Police Chief Claude M. Worley is expected today the case before the board of safety Tuesday. McMahon resigned after similar charges were filed against him several months ago. He was reinstated at a necret board meeting in July.
