RUSSIAN DUKE, HERE, SPREADS LOVEJQCTRINE Sauve Aristocrat, Late Czar’s Cousin, Gives \ Views on Brotherhood. BY DAN M. KIDENY Suave Grand Duke Alexander, cousin and brother-in-law of the late czar, Nicholas 11, of Russia and leader of the colony of refugee Russian aristocrats in Paris, is in Indianapolis today. He is touring America preaching a doctrine of love, he told a Times reporter just before he left his suite at the Severin to be an honor guest at a luncheon at the University Club. His Imperial Highness is a splendidly cared-for, wasp-waisted, mid-dle-aged gentleman with courtly bearing and a distinguished dark mustache and white beard. Preaches Doctrine of Christ The love doctrine he is preaching 5s that of Christ, he says, and is the only thing that will redeem the \vorld and particularly Russia. “I bring this doctrine to America,” says the duke, with a French rather than Russian •accent, “because you are already the material leaders of the world and can quite easily occupy the same leadership in the spiritual realm.!' “This love doctrine is that of Tolstoy?” the duke is asked. “Non, non,” he declares heatedly “I preach no doctrine of non-resist-ance.” Then he elaborates on what he tyould do to the bolsheviki, if able, and says that he will constantly urge America never to recognize them. , The duke was one of those on the tfeath list of the revolutionists, but escaped in 1918. He says the soviet regime is built on philosophy the very opposite from his doctrine of love and that the reds are ruining Russia. Doesn’t Love Anastasia He doesn’t love the alleged Princess Anastasia, daughter of the Czar and guest of the Leeds family in America, either. He is absolutely suhe she is an impostor he declares. The purpose of the duke's visit Is to talk on the subject, “Out of My Life,” at the Masonic temple tonight. The lecture is one of a series arranged by the Indianapolis Business and Professional Women’s Club and is open to the public. The club also arranged the luncheon, Miss Glen D. Anderson, president, being in charge of arrangements. It was a stag affair. Those attending were Attorney Frederick Matson, who presided; Hilton U. Brown, Norman Metzger, Charles F. Coffin, O. L. Miller, B. D. Duck, Edward A. Meyer, G. B. Moxley, S. W. Ruch, Charles F. Miller and James E. Goodrich.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

PREPARE FOR REFUND SUIT OF ATKINS CO. Corporation Seeks to Enjoin $8,000,000 Money of 1919 to 1921. Attorneys representing finance officers of Marion county, Indianapolis school and civil cities and Center township today were preparing for trial in Federal court next Tuesday of the E. C. Atkins and Company $8,000,000 tax refund injunction suit. The company seeks to enjoin refunding of the $8,000,000 in taxes collected in Marion county under a horizontal increase for the years 1919, 1920 and 1921. The suit was filed in federal'' court Aug. 25, 1927, being dismissed by Judge Robert C. Baltzell for want of jurisdiction Dec. 22, 1927. Appealed to the United’, States Circuit Court of Appeals, the dismissal opinion was reversed and the case remanded here for trial last June. Filing of the suit followed preparations of taxing officials to refund the $8,000,000 taxes as result of the Indiana supreme court’s action in declaring the horizontal increases illegal. > The complaint charges the Atkins company and 600 other Marion county corporations were not affected by the horizontal increases and consequently would not parti-

Best Remedy for Obstinate Cough Made at Home

You'll never know how quickly a stubborn cough or chest cold can be conquered, _ until you try this famous recipe. It is used in millions of homes, because it gives more prompt, positive relief than anything else. It’s no trouble at all to mix and costs but a trifle. Into a pint bottle, pour 2% ounces of Pinex; then add plain granulated sugar syrup or strained honey to make a full pint. This saves two-thirds of the money usually spent for cough medicine, and gives you a purer, better remedy. It never spoils, and tastes good—children like it. You can actually feel its penetrating, soothing action on the inflamed membranes. It also promptly loooens the germ-laden phlegm, ana at the same time, it is absorbed into the blood, where it acts directly on the bronchial tubes. This three-fold action explains why it brings such quick relief even in severe bronchial coughs and “flu” coughs. Pinex is a highly concentrated compound of genuine Norway pine, containing the active agent of creosote, in a refined, palatable form, and known as one of the greatest healing agents for severe coughs, chest colds and bronchial troubles. Do, not accept a substitute for Pinex. It is guaranteed to give prompt relief or money refunded.

cipate in the refund, but would be taxed to raise money to be refunded to other taxpayers. It is alleged such action would be in violation of the company’s constitutional rights, and that the horizontal increases were made to bring three-fifths of the assessed property in Center township up to the level of assessments made by the state tax board which fixed assessments of the 600 corporations, representing two-fifths of the assessed valuation, at a true cash value. It is further averred that since the corporations are not among taxpayers who would receive refunds, to tax them to raise money for the refunds would amount to confiscation of property. More than 100,000 taxpayers of the county who paid taxes in 1919, 1920 and 1921 under the horizontal increases would be eligible to receive refunds, and hundreds have filed claims at the office of Harry Dunn, county auditor.

NEW BOLIVIAN POLICY CHEERS PEACEPARLEY Minister Again to Sit With Washington Arbitration Conference. HU United Press WASHINGTON. Dec. 12.—A cloud hanging over the Pan-American conciliation and arbitration conference here as a result of the Paraguayan-Bolivian dispute,' was lifted somewhat today by announcement of Secretary Kellogg, chairman, that Bolivia would resume participation in the meeting, Thursday. Dr. Eduardo Diaz De Medina,

Bolivian minister and delegate to the conference, was ordered to withdraw from the gathering Tuesday, but was advised by his government today that Bolivia should again be represented. Kellogg’s announcement was welcomed enthusiastically. Delegates predicted the work of the special mediation committee might produce constructive results in the dispute especially if the Bolivian minister serves on it. Hopes to Avoid War LA PAZ, Bolivia, Dec. 12.—Dr. Hernando Siles, president of Bolivia, said today that he desired to avoid war and would do all in his power to accomplish this end. “I do not wish war,” President Siles told a gathering of 20,000 demonstrators, "because I am an enemy of war and I will do all I can to avoid it. But if we are forced to go to war to defend our national honor, I swear that I will go with you.” President Siles praised the courageous spirit the Bolivian people

have shown since national indignation became aroused over the clash of Bolivian and Paraguayan troops at Ft. Vanguardia, in the disputed border territory of the Gran Chaco region. More than a score of soldiers were killed in the clash, and Bolivians have maintained the incident was a sudden and unexpected act of aggression on the part of Paraguay. Hu United Press BUENOS AIRES. Dec. 12.—The Boliivan-Paraguayan boundary dispute, brought to a crisis by a fight between troops of the two countries in the Gran Chaco district last week, has reached an impasse, the Bolivian councilor, Pinto Escalier, told the United Press.

When Escalier was asked about the possibility of Argentina mediating the dispute he made no comment and politely changed the trend of conversation.
