MAYOR SNARL DELAYS WORK ONJERIDIAN Park Board Unable to Sell Bonds Because of Hogue Suit. Failure of the park board to sell $60,000 in bonds because of litigation over the title of Mayor L. Ert Slack pending before the State Supreme Court is responsible for the delay in widening of N. Meridian St., between Sixteenth St. and Fall Creek. The improvement is in line with the program to make the north side artery a uniform width of fifty feet. Sections between Fall Creek and Thirty-Eighth St. and St. Clair and [Tenth Sts. have been widened and resurfaced. J No Bidders I The park board headed by PresiI dent John E. Milnor, Republican, f is anxious to proceed with the Meridian St. improvement in 'order that the street will be a uniform width but have been unable to go ahead with the project because of failure to find a bidder on the bond issue. The contract for the improvement was let to the Indiana Asphalt Paving Company in January, 1928, and the bonds were ordered sold March 29, Miss Mary Griffin, secretary, said. Matson, Carter, Ross & McCord, law firm, which presented claim of Joseph L. Hogue to mayor’s seat, advised the City Securities Company, high bidder, against purchase of the bonds because of the clouded title of Slack. Hogue is a Republican and Slack a Democrat. * Hogue’s attorneys argued that he legally is mayor of Indianapolis because he held the office of City Controller under former Mayor Samuel L. Shank. After Shank’s death, Hogue fell heir to office, following conviction of John L. Duvall, then on corrupt practice charge, 'Hogue’s lawyers declared. The statute provides the city controller shall become maypr in event of a vacancy. It was argued that Duvall was not legally elected to the mayor’s office because a ury found him guilty of j corrupt practices and disfranchised i him.

U. S. COLLECTS 2 MILLIONS IN OIL DEAL TAXES Huge Amount Paid as Income Levy on Continental Transaction. Bn United Press WASHINGTON, May 25. —The Government has collected more than $2,000,000 in income taxes from those involved in the questioned Continental Trading Company oil deal. Secretary of the Treasury Mellon told the Senate today in a letter. Mellon stated James E. O'Neill, former president of the Prairie Oil and Gas Company, had paid • $151,305; Harry M. Blackmer. former president of the Midwest Refining Company. $151,597, and the Sinclair Crude Oil Purchasing Company, $303,194. The latter figure represents taxes on profits Harry F. Sinclair and Col.

Mellon stated $1,398,910 In delinquent taxes were collected from persons, whose names he declined to mention, and additional sums are expected to be collected later.

BLOCKS TROOPS IN WAR ON ‘NECKERS’
By United Press + WASHINGTON, May 25.—Senator Bruce of Maryland has broadened his' State’s rights position to include the privilege of young people to neck at night if they want to. He will not permit Uncle Sam to employ the soldiery against lovers who occupy the shady lanes of Maryland which lead toward the National Cemetery at Arlington. Maryland, he told the Senate, will still remain “the free State,” even though Senator Reed of Pennsylvania declared that details of the roadside romances were "too lurid” to make public.

Just a tasteless dose of Phillips' Milk of Magnesia in water. That is an alkali, effective, yet harmless. It has been the standard antacid for 50 years among physicians everywhere. One spoonful wfil neutralize at once many times its olume in acid. It is the right way; the quick, pleasant and efficient way to kill the excess acid. The stomach becomes sw r eet, the pain departs. You are happy again in five minutes. Don’t depend on crude methods.
Reed had asked unanimous consent for a bill authorizing the War Department to detail a military guard with orders to break up petting parties in the vicinity of the cemetery. When Bruce arose to ask if Maryland’s sovereignty and sweethearts were to be infringed upon, Reed replied rather testily. Then Bruce set forth his bill of romantic rights. Reed's bill was eventually passed, but only after he accepted Bruce’s amendment providing that it should not apply to his State or those contemplating matrimony in Maryland.
