SCHOOL DEBT DELAY HIT BY C. OEUROUP Budget Probers Opposed to Holding Back in Retiring Fund. Proposed postponement in retirement of half of the special school fund $832,000 deficit until next year is attacked in a supplemental re • port of the Chamber of Commerce budget sub-committee, made public by William H. Book, chamber civic affairs secretary. The committee recently suggested reduction of the school levy from $1.03 to 98 cents by reducing appropriations, and insists that if only half of the deficit is retired next year, the appropriation reductions still be made, giving a possible levy of only 93 cents. Postponement of part of the debt retirement, occasioned by change from fiscal to calendar year-basis, is termed by the subcommittee as merely delaying the “day of reckoning,” and putting off until future years payment of next year’s debts. Report Not Discussed Albert F. Walsman, school business director, said the report would not be discussed at the special board meeting today. He reserved comment on it until after conference with commissioners. For years, the report pointed out, the school city has been operating on the “fat and lean” year plan. Under this system, one year the special fund would have an excessive levy, leaving a balance at the end of the year, and the tuition fund levy would be insufficient, leaving a deficit. The next year the tables would be reversed, tuition levy being excessive and special levy insufficient. Thus at the end of each fiscal year the two funds actually balanced and the levy continued at about the Same level. This was occasioned by the fact the fiscal year and the tax levying year did not coincide. With change from fiscal to calendar year basis next year, a deficit in the special fund at the end of 1928 must be retired. Retirement Is Urged "This deficit,” the report states, “should be retired in entirety in 1929. If the amount of deficit retired is reduced, we will have a tax reduction for 1929, but will have to pay the deficit off in another year. “It is unsound fiscal economy to propose postponement of the day of reckoning. Such a postponement is not a true reduction of taxes.” Under the school board proposal, the chamber holds, $400,000 in excess

Carmel Myers great sensation in

of special fund revenues will be spent, leaving a deficit of that amount. Actually, instead of an $832,000 deficit in the special fund, it is charged, the deficit will be only $680,749, because the six months’ budget appropriations are excessive and should be reduced $189,100, and school officials have overestimated fall tax receipts. “Likewise,” according to the report, “school officials are forecasting a tuition fund balance at the end of this year of $680,478, in whch ireductions of $74,100 should be made.” HOLD CAR CONDUCTOR Police Probe Street Railway Accident at Crossing.

SLAYER SHOT AFTER KILLING COPJN CHASE Wounded Gunman Is Under Sentence to Die for Earlier Murder. By United Press CLEVELAND, Ohio, Sept. 14. Alternately begging for death and boasting of his prowess as a killer, Paul Jawarski, Pittsburgh pay roll bandit and gunman trapped and shot here late Thursday after he killed one patrolman, shot another and wounded a confectioner, was teetering beween death from paralysis or death in the electric chair today. If Jawarski recovers from bullet wounds inflicted by police, he must die. He already is under a death sentence for the murder of a paymaster. Jawarski was shot down by Patrolman Yaro Koudela during a battle which brought out 200 policemen and detectives who used tear bombs, riot guns and service revolvers to bring about his capture. Condition Is Critical Two of the gunmen’s victims, Patrolman George Effinger and Ben Majserik, the confectioner, were in a critical condition today in the same hospital. Jawarski’s third victim, Patrolman Anthony Wieczorek, was killed instantly. Jawarski’s latest debacle with the law began in a restaurant on Fleet Ave. here. He was dining w’hen a former Pittsburgh youth entered and recognized him. The boy summoned police and

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Effinger and Wiecorek led the squad of five officers who went to the case. John Vasbinder, another condemned murderer who with Jawarski shot his way from the Allegheny County prison at Pittsburgh a year ago, was with Jawarski. He jumped from his stoll and fled, but the killer instinct in Jawarski was predominant. Jawarski whipped a gun from his clothing and fired. Wieczorek fell dead and Effinger was wounded. Jawarski fled amid a hail of bullets fired by Effinger who refused to be‘ downed. Outside Jawarski continued firing and Majsterik, attracted by the shooting, was hit by a stray bullet. 200 Armed for Hunt From the restaurant the killer followed a circuitous route to a house on Chambers Ave. where he hid under a bed. A general alarm, meanwhile, brought out 200 officers armed with shotguns, rifles, revolvers and tear bombs. A lad who saw Jawarski run into the house told police and Jawarski was discovered. Tear bombs w'ere brought into play. Jawarski scurried through the house, seeking a means of escape. Balked by the police cordon, he finally appeared at the front door. He raised his automatic to fire just as Koudela brought him down with a rifle. Jawarski’s left side is paralyzed and physicians say he has small chance for recovery. Police meanwhile were searching the city for Vasbinder, who shot a Pennsylvania steel worker who refused to give him a quarter. Steals $4,176; Pickpocket Gets It B.y United Press NEW YORK, Sept. 14.

LINDY THRILLS AT MEET Stunting With Army’s Crack Fliers Wins Applause. By United Press MINES FIELD, LOS ANGELES, Cal., Sept. 14. —Spectators turned today to the “three musketeers” of the Army and the three “sea hawks” of the Navy for thrills for the remainder of the national air races. The unsuccessful New York to Los Angeles non-stop flight ended the transcontinental contests of the meet, and except for the six stunt fliers, nothing spectacular was expected. The air circus, the exhibit of aviation devices and races will continue throughout Sunday. The majority of fans were interested in the thrilling stunts of Col. Charles. Lindbergh, who has become leader of the three musketeers since the death last Monday of Lieut. J. J. Williams.
