TAKE STEPS TO PLACE PADLOCK ON GREEN MILL * / Prosecutor Puzzled Over Sheriff’s Failure to Take Action. Expressing wonder that sheriff and Republican County chairman, Omer Hawkins, had not taken some action against Green Mill barbecue, 3103 E. Thirty-Eighth St., in view of statements of his deputies that they frequently had ordered persons : out of the place for drinking therein, i Vinson H. Manifold, deputy prose- ' cutor, today prepared to take steps to close 4 the place permanently. Terrence King, rum runner, was murdered in a fight with another bootlegger there Thursday morning, j Wilkinson Haag. Indianapolis druggist, was murdered there by bandits two years ago. Why No Action? “If he sheriff’s office found liquor and drinking there I wonder they did not take some action or at least report the incidents to the prosecutor’s office,” Manifold remarked. The barbecue stand and dance hall was not in operation Thursday night. Sheriff Hawkins said his deputies, who frequently had confiscated liquor from parties, had closed it for alleged violation of the injunction of Zimri T)ugan, Danville, Ind., circuit judge, prohibiting its operation as a dance hall. The sheriff has not made arrests at the place, so far as could be learned. Miss Magie Ford, 22, held as one of the witnesses in the King murder, told police she was employed as a dancer and entertainer there.

Nuisance Suit Planned Manifold was investigating the best line of legal action to pursue to insure that the Green Mill be put out of business permanently. He did not know whether he could take steps to have the Danville injunction cover all operation of the place or whether he should start an independent action in local courts. Residents of the Green Mill neighborhood are threatening to bring a nuisance suit to close the place. GROCERY MEN TO MEET National Body to Convene at West Baden, Aug. 27.

Aug. 10.—When Lorenz Koenig, Omaha lumber handler, inherited $75,000 from his suicide son’s estate three and a half years ago, he said, “If I quit work, I die.” But he quit work, and in six months he was a sick man. Now Koenig is dead. “Old age and heat” they gave as the reason for his death, but his friends say it was lack of hard, manual labor, to which he had been accustomed.

PREDICTS TAX CUT State General Fund Levy May Be Reduced. The 2-cent increase in the State tax levy authorized by act of the 1927 Legislature to raise $1,000,000 annually for ten years for the State's four State-supported universities and normal schools may be partially offset by a reduction in the general fund levy from 2 to 1 cent, L. W. S. Bowman. State auditor, said today. If this is accomplished, the rate, now 23 cents, may be 24 instead of 25 cents, as was the first prospect, Bowman indicated. An increased assessed valuation in the State might work for a further reduction, it was pointed out. The 2-cent levy for the Statesupported schools will be included in the 1926 levy established next Sep tember, and the first $500,000 installment of the fund thus created will be available for the institutions in 1929. Os this amount, Indiana and Purdue Universities each will receive seven-twentieths, and each of the two normal schools, at Muncie and Terre Haute, three-twentieths.

FUNERAL HELD FOR BRENNAN IN QOIETDIGNITI Governor Al Smith Attends Final Rites to Veteran Party Leader. BY JAMES K. MARTINDALE, United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Aug. 10.—Final tribute to George E. Brennan, veteran Democratic leader began today with the arrival of Governor Alfred E. Smith of New York, his personal friend and political associate. The wish for simplicity which Brennan expressed during his last hours of consciousness Tuesday night, seemed generally to have, been respected. The arrival of Governor Smith was a unostentatious as possible, j The Governor and his party were S greeted at the station and proceeded immediately to the Brennan home. Several hundred friends and assistants had viewed the body, where it lay in a shaded parlor. By the time of Governor Smith’s arrival only members of the family and a few personal friends were in the home. Funeral Cortge Lengthy Mrs. Brennan, the widow, and her daughter Mary, received the Governor within the apartment. Expressions of sympathy were brief and together the three viewed the body in the parlor. The procession to the Church of Our Lady of Mount Carmel began immediately, Governor Smith and his party and the family leading. Flowers, which Mrs. Brennan had asked not to be sent, were seen at the apartment only in moderate amount. The funeral cortege was lengthy, but was confined mainly to the few hundred friends who had been admitted to the apartment to see the body during the morning. The six men selected by Mrs. Brennan as pallbearers were relatives and close personal friends of j her husband. Two of them, George Fitzgerald and John Scullans, were cousins. Two were police captains. Daniel Gilbert and Captain Richard P. Gill. Michaed L. Igoe, one of the dead leaders confidential aids and Fred C. Hatchtel, a business asso- | ciate, were the other two. The cortege drew up slowly In ■ front of the stone church. Governor ; Smith and the Governor's military aids were escorted to hte sacristy, j where they awaited Mrs. Brennan. Crowd Outside Church The widow, her daughter, Mary, followed the plain gray casket to the j sacristy, where the body was received b ya priest. A short prayer and sprinkling of j the casket with holy water was fol-

A trio of male voices sang as the procession ended and solemn requiem mass was begun by Monsignor Joseph Casey, who returned from a vacation to conduct the services.
