NATIONAL RD. SITE FAVORED FORAIRPORT All but Three Tracts Are Eliminated by Citizen Committee. FINAL DECISION FRIDAY New Appraisal Figures to Be Presented Before Choice Is Made. Pinal decision on a municipal airport site, deferred Tuesday by the citizens’ committee until Friday, today hinged on reappraisal figures on Sites 7,8, and 30, asked by Chairman Fred C. Gardner. While still considering all three sites, the committee expressed itself as favorable to acceptance of site 30, with 875 acres, at an average of $513 an acre, located six miles west on the National highway, north of Ben Davis. Decision was deferred until the new appraisal figures can be ob- . tained and until engineers of the Transcontinental Air Transport, which plans to make Indianapolis a stop on its air-rail, ocean-to-ocean passenger line, can come here to give final approval for the T. A. T. Asks for Engineer A telegram was sent by the committee Tuesday evening to Col. Paul C. Henderson, general manager of T. A. TANARUS., asking that Col. Charles A. Lindberg, or some other engineer for the company, be sent here between now and'Friday. Philip R. Love, former air mail pilot and former controlling engineer of the air transport organization, passing through Indianapolis today, was asked to view the sites this afternoon and make a recommendation to the air transport officials on which they might act instead of sending someone here. Site 30, offered by Edward W. Pearson, 3015 W. Michigan St., option holder, and Asa R. Mathis, Fletcher Savings and Trust Company, has the advantage, in the committee’s eyes, of being accessible to both the Big Four and Pennsylvania railroads and the National highway. Level and well drained, committee members believed this site, although higher in price than Site 8, immediately south of it, may be worth the difference in cost. Site 7, an addition to the National Guard port, Mars Hill, includes 636 acres at an average price of $636, surrounding the present 182-acre Guard field. The Guard field, according to James W. Hurt, realtor holding options on the adjoining tract, will be available at all times for use by the city, not only through promises given by the armory board, but by War Department regulations requiring that military fields be available free of charge to all fliers. Hurt presented a letter from William H. Kershner, Indiana adjutant general, offering free use of the field, which the Guard proposes to purchase, the Guard reserving for its own use only a narrow strip on the east for its hangars and other buildings. He explained that the armory board preferred to buy the field itself, because the Government, through liberal rental allowance, would in twenty years retire the original cost. 1,000 Acres in Site 8 Site, which is south of Site 30, with the Pennsylvania Railroad as the north boundary, contains 1,000 acres at an average cost of $313.58 an acre. It is seven miles from the city. Options on a total of 1,164 acres are held in Site 7, but the committee tentatively eliminated 289 acres in the southeast comer because of alleged excessive cost. The committee considered advantages of Site 7, including city water and gas, a sewer within a half mile, its distance of only four miles from Monument Circle and the paving of Holt Rd., now in progress. MINORITY OPINION IN MAYOR CASE FILED Slack Has No Right to Job, Judge Travis Holds. Former Mayor John L. Duvall never rightfully held that office and the city council was without power , to elect Mayor L. Ert Slack to the place. The late Samuel Lewis Shank was rightfully mayor, until his death at which time his city controller, Joseph L. Hogue, succeeded to the office of “acting mayor.” Such is the reasoning in the Indianapolis mayorality case of Hogue against Slack and Ira M. Holmes, also a one-time contender for the mayor’s position, set forth in a minority opinion filed Tuesday by Judge Julius C. Travis of the Supreme Court. The court majority already has lecided the mayorship in favor of ■Sack. The minority opinion only icords Judge Travis’ findings.

Carol Bergman, a “Fragonarde blonde.”

This is the fifth of a series of articles written for The Times and Nea service by Alfred Cheney Johnston, one of the foremost artists among American photographers. Each day he discusses a type of feminine beauty, explains how it best can be enhanced by make-up and coiffure, tells which color schemes and styles of town he considers most effective. BY ALFRED CHENEY JOHNSTON The little, blonde, butterfly type of girl is reminiscent of the ladies Fragonarde loved to paint. The ruffles and ribbons of a bygone age became her so well; and yet she is as dainty and lovely in her simple frock of today as in the days when she graced the ballet of Louis the XVI. Carol Bergman, the prima-ball-erina of “Rosalie,” is just such a type of blonde. Her hair is of the natural hue one attributes to the Nordic race; not a golden blonde, not a silver blonde, but that glorious shade between. Her eyes are blue—a gray blue* DAILEY RAPS LESLIE Denounces G. 0. P. Machine at Franklin. By Times Special FRANKLIN, Ind., Oct. 3.—Republicans joined Democrats in crowding the opera house here Tuesday night to hear Frank C. Dailey, Democratic candidate for Governor, denounce the G. O. P. machine v/hich placed in the Governor’s chair successively, James P.' Goodrich, Warren T. McCray and Ed Jackson. “And now it seeks to elect Leslie,” Dailey said. “Leslie, who not once raised his voice for anew deal, but actually aided the cover-up by blocking the legislative investigation proposed in the 1927 Legislature.” Dailey read with telling effect editorials from the pen of Thomas H. Adams and Frederick K. Landis, defeated candidates for the Republican nomination for Governor, relating their adverse opinions of Leslie and the circumstances of his nomination. . The meeting climaxed a tour of Johnson County by Dailey, Arthur Hamrick, candidate for secretary of State, Jap Jones, candidate foliate treasurer, and Harry C. Canfield, Fourth district congressional candidate.

PHILLY COPS AMASS RICHES BY BRIBES

By United Press PHILADELPHIA,, Oct. 3.—Arrest of two more police captains who are alleged to have made fortunes by accepting bribes from bootleggers and saloon keepers was promised today by District Attorney John Monaghan. Monaghan refused to reveal the names of the men who would be caught in his investigation of vice and crime in this city, but said records had been found proving that one had bank deposits and securities totalling $42,000 while another had assets of SBI,OOO. The district attorney said one captain had withdrawn his $42,000 from banks, presumably because the grand jury investigation had turned in his direction. Tuesday the first direct testimony concerning tributes laid by police upon disorderly houses was brought out in a hearing before Judge Edwin O. Lewis. A woman testified that one house paid $220 a week to police. It was estimated that there were fifty houses' in that district, all of which bribed patrolmen. The woman said she paid three members of the vice squad each Wednesday and that on Friday a special detective received his money. William Dixey, James P. Kelly and Warren E. Robertson of the vice

and her lashes long and darker than her hair. Her nose is small and straight, and her little mouth parts into a gracious smile more often than not —and shows even rows of small, pearl-like teeth. Her skin is soft and creamy in coloring. It is a skin not as white as the Gainsborough blonde—not as peach-like in tone as the Greuze brunet. With her very light hair, it calls for a light rachel powder and medium shade of raspberry rouge. This dainty type of blonde may use a little more rouge than the willowy blonde. For her charm depends upon activity rather than repose. Her lip rouge should be applied very judiciously. No matter what shade of lip-rouge a girl uses, if she applies it without working it in deftly with her fin-ger-tips to eliminate the hard outlines, it destroys the beauty of her mouth instead of accentuating it. Miss Bergman wears her blonde hair in a Dutch cut, softly waved and combed backward to partially reveal the ear. Girls of this type who have long hair may simulate this effect and catch the long ends in a coil-effect, carefully pinned at the nape of the neck, to retain a youthful contour. White, flesh and blue are prettiest for evening wear on this Fragonarde blonde. Street shades are blues, soft greens, beige black and white and softer browns. While It is a natural assumption that she may wear ruffles and ribbons, because she is little she must be careful not to load herself with too much ornamentation. It destroys the illusion of her daintiness. WALSKA DEBUT IS SET Wife of Harold F. McCormick to Make U. S. Operatic Entry Nov. 7. By United Press NEW YORK, Oct. 3.-Ganna Walska, wife of Harold F.

COOLIDGE CAR CRASH VICTIM SER|OUSLY 111 President’s Physician Goes on Hurry Call to Bedside. JOHN IS QUESTIONED ‘Settlement’ Dickering Is Reported as Sanders Goes to Hospital.

By United Press NEW HAVEN, Conn., Oct. 3.—Announcement that Mrs. Mary Veno, 56, victim of an automobile accident involving John Coolidge, would be held indefinitely in New Haven hospital was thought today to be the reason for a hurried visit of Everett Sanders, President private secretary, and Major James F. Coupal, the President’s personal physician. Sanders and Coupal visited Mrs. Veno and her son. Wilfred Veno, at the hospital yesterday. Although possible terms of a “settlement” had been discussed on Coupal’s previous visit, there was no mention of the subject yesterday, Veno told friends. Veno’s condition is improving. Mrs. Veno had been expected to lave the hospital yesterday. Doctors decided at the eleventh hour that she was not in condition to be discharged. Sanders talked with John at the New, Haven railroad headquarters, where the President’s son is a clerk. At noon they went lo the railroad station where John chatted with his mother, who was en route from Northampton, Mass., to Washington. Sanders left for Washington late yesterday. Coupal remained. John denied today, through a third person, published reports that Russell Wood, secret service man, had been reassigned to protect him from the curious. STUDY ZONING PLAN New Classification Sought for Gas Stations. Data on the building classification of filling stations in other cities is being collected by the city council, Herman P.

Slack’s ordinance provides that filling stations be classified as industries instead of as in business group, as at present. Several councilmen disagreed on the provisions of the ordinance.

MOVE TO DEPORT REMUS IS DROPPED

B.n Times Special WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.—The Government has decided to drop its deportation proceedings against George Refnus, once styled “king of bootleggers." Proceedings were instituted against Remus just after his release from Atlanta, where he served a term for liquor law violations, but were dropped when Remus was arrested for shooting his wife a year ago. When the jury acquitted him on a charge of murder, on the ground that he was insane at the time of the shooting, department of labor officials breathed sighs of relief.

RUSH TO BUY COAL STOCKS CITYCELLARS Memories of 1927 Autumn Cold Wave Spur Many Purchasers. PRICES CHANGE LITTLE Plenty of Fuel on Hand, Majority of Dealers Assure Patrons.

King Winter isn’t going to swoop on Indianapolis by surprise this year. Rather is he going to be greeted by a large number of well-stocked cellars—coal cellars. , For with memories of last year's sudden cold snap that descended with many cellars empty, Indianapolis householders are doing their fuel shopping early. Coal dealers throughout the city report a rushing business for the last two weeks, and scores of carloads of fuel, Pocahontas, Virginia lump, Kentucky lump and Indiana coal, are finding their way into Indianapolis cellars daily. Prices are virtually the same now as they were this time last year, when the winter’s price peak was hit. The highest price charged here for Pocahontas is $9; West Virginia, $7; Kentucky lump, $7.50, and Indiana, $5.50. Little price changes is expected in the near future by local dealers, who believe if prices do shift either way, the change will affect only Pocahontas. Last season’s price peak came Sept. 1 and continued until Oct. 15. It was caused by the sudden cold wave which ended in time to send prices down long enough to permit householders to stock up for the winter. Although it was feared for a time that the general coal strike would cause a big shortage, it has done nothing of the kind, dealers say, and there is “plenty of coal” on hand. CHIROPRACTORS ELECT Dr. J. O. Groves, Ft. Wayne, Heads State Association. Bn United Press GARY, Ind.. Oct. 3.—Dr. J. O. Groves, Ft.

They believed that commitment of Remus to an Ohio asylum would end the case. Although Remus soon obtained his liberty when he convinced a probate court he no longer was insane, the Government showed no inclination to revive its deportation proceedings. Remus, although born in Germany, claims his father was naturalized in Chicago when be was still a child. Immigration authorities, however, have been unable to find any record of the elder Remus’ reported naturalizatiori. Department of labor officials gave Remus until Oct. 1 to file additional proof of his citizenship claims. Although he has still failed to file .convincing proof, It was learned today that the case will be dropped. TWIN GIRLS INDICTED Another Pair Charges Two With Responsibility for Theft.

Senator Refuses to Say Definitely That He’ll Support Smith. BY ROSCOE B. FLEMING Timex Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.—Reports that Senator George W. Norris of Nebraska will speak for Governor Alfred E. Smith, enabled Norris today to re-emphasize his belief that the re-election of progressive senators is as important as the presidency. He did not specifically deny the reports. He leaves tonight for Rochester, Minn., where on Friday night he will open a four-day tour of Minnesota in behalf of Senator Henrik Shipstead. From there Norris will go to North Dakota for Senator Frazier, to Montana for Senator Wheeler, and to Washington for Senator C. C. Dill, returning to Nebraska to aid Senator Howell. “I am going to discuss water power, farm relief and the foreign problems on which these progressive senators have taken a definite stand, and I am going to commend them for it and plead with the people to remember them on election day.” said Norris. “When Hoover made his acceptance speech, I said I didn’t like it, and I didn’t think he covered anything. He was silent on what I believed to be the important things. ‘When Smith spoke at Omaha and Denver on water power and farm relief, I praised him in both instances. I also praised Smith for his attitude on Nicaragua. “From what I have said, it seems perfectly plain and fair you would draw the conclusion that Smith on farm relief, water power and foreign relations comes a great deal nearer meeting the progressive idea than Hoover does.” Detective Body Adjourns CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind., Oct. 3. —The National Horse Thief Detective Association closed its sixtyeighth annual convention here today after being in session Tuesday.

an accomplished fact and therefore have sued for restoration to them of Evans hall, erected in 1887 by their ancestor, a temperance advocate. The building was used as a meeting place for foes of liquor at a time when nearly every corner in downtown Evansville was a saloon site. In the suit, directed against the local W. C. T. U. and the Chamber of Commerce, the heirs assert the building has served the purpose of its donor, that temperance reigns, and it should revert to them. The donor at first offered to erect the hall providing the city would contribute $9,000 toward the work. The city refused to help, and she paid for all the work from her own funds.

LAW MAY BAR CRASH DRIVERS FROM ROADS Propose Statute to Force Settlement of Claims From Accidents. RAP INSURANCE PLAN Hoosier Motor Club Thinks Compulsory Liability Is Weak. A move to secure passage by the next Indiana Legislature of a law prohibiting any motorist who has been in an accident for which he was to blame, from driving a motor vehicle again until he has satisfied the claims rising from the accident, is being considered by the Hoosier Motor Club. This, according to Todd Stoops, Hoosier Motor Club secretary, likely will be the answer of the Hoosier Motor Club to the agitation in some parts of the country for enactment in all States of compulsory automobile liability insurance laws similar to a law now in effect in Massachusetts. The Massachusetts law requires each owner of a motor car to carry liability insurance so that if any car is in an accident, the innocent party in the accident is assured of compensation for damages to his car and persons.

Law Fails to Function The Hoosier Motor Club, however, believes with the American Automobile Association, with which it is affiliated, that the Massachusetts law has not worked out properly. The law which the Hoosier Motor Club is considerating figuring for Indiana would work like this: A’s automobile collides with B’s. A is to blame. B’s automobile is damaged to the extent of SSOO. But A is driving a SSO flivver and has no property. “Yes, I’m to blame,” he tells B. “But you can't collect damages from me. I haven’t any property but this flivver and you can have it if you want it.” With the proposed law in force B would go into court and secure a SSOO judgement against A. Then A would be prohibited from driving a motor vehicle again until he had paid the SSOO judgement. Under the present law B could secure the judgement, but if A has no property which could be attached the judgement never would be paid. A could buy himself another SSO flivver in a few months and be in position again to drive about damaging the property and lives of other motorists. “The proposed law,” according to Stoops, “would make everybody responsible for their accidents or keep them from driving.” The directors of the local club have been considering the move for such a law and probably will appoint a legislative committee at their next meeting to take further steps, Stoop said. Sonic Fraudulent Claims The American Automobile Association has called a meeting of motor club leaders to formulate its opposition to laws similar to the Massachusetts measure and to other remedies for the growing toll of auto accidents. The Massachusetts law has served as a “gold mine,” for amublance chasers in the legal and medical professions, according to A. A. A. statement announcing the meeting. The statement points out that while insurance companies have some 40,000 personal injury claims arising from Massachusetts accidents pending, only about 30,000 injuries have been reported to the State Motor Vehicle Registrar. “This would clearly indicate that the Massachusetts lr.w also has provided a springboard for fraudulent claims,” it declared.
