TTTE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

TICKET TAX FOR THEATERS IS PROTESTED Burden Already Unfair, Says Attorney for Owners in Letter to Legislature. “The people of Indiana were led to believe at the last election that this state was in a wonderful financial condition. We were told that the state was out of debt and that all was well. If we were misled as to the true condition of affairs and the state is in need of vast additional revenues, why should only the theaters have to contribute this additional re # nue?” This is one of the questions Charles R. Metzger, attorney for the Associated Theater Owners of Indiana. asked in a letter to Indiana legislators today opposing the proposed 10 per cent theater admission tax. “Already Overtaxed” Indiana theaters already are carrying more than their fair tax burden, Metzger declared. In addition to the regular tax on all theater real estate and the personal property tax on theater equipment, the theaters pay a local city license fee which is slOl a year on the smallest house in Indianapolis; a special $5 county tax and a special industrial board licence which is $5 for the smallest theater and more for the larger ones. Sixty-nine theaters have been forced out of business in Indiana in the last year by financial losses and approximately one hundred theaters have been forced to operate only one or two days a week instead of daily, he said. Theaters Must Carry Load If* a heavy admission tax is placed in effect many other theaters will close their doors, he said. Indiana citizens have less funds for amusement than in other, states and any additional theater tax will have to be met by the theater owners instead of the public, the letter stated. SMOKE HELPS BANDITS By Times Special GARY. Ind., Feb. 13.—Bandits who threw a smoke screen from their automobile aftef attempting to rob James C. Drain succeeded in eluding pursuing police.

TRIAL TILT WON BY GOVERNOR Oklahoma Chief Keeps Out Pardon Testimony. Bit United Press _ _ OKLAHOMA CITY, Feb. 13.—Defense counsel for Henry S. Johnston, suspended Governor or Oklahoma, won their first tilt of the impeachment trial, when Chief Justice Charles W. Mason over-ruled certain parts of the testimony of Edwin Dabney, attorney-general. The testimony over-ruled related to Dabney's opinions regarding the legality of the pardon Johnston granted Dewey Crosthwaite, fugitive murderer. Chief Justice Mason ruled the prosecution must show that these opinions were conveyed to the suspended executive. John Head, chief prosecution counsel, then admitted It might be impossible to show conveyance because J. W. Mansell, pardon and parole officer, had died in the meantime. The prosecution was attempting to prove by Dabney that the Crosthwaite pardon could have been revoked and that the attorney-gen-eral had so advised the Governor. This opinion was given Mansell to ; be conveyed to the Governor.

CBOLIOGE MAY BUY RESIDENCE IN WASHINGTON President Is Expected to Return to Capital After He Quits Office. BY LAWRENCE SULLIVAN Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.—President and Mrs. Coolidge will head for their old duplex house in Northampton the afternoon of March 4, but they may soon be back in Washington as distinguished private residents. It is expected the President will maintain his legal residence in Massachusetts permanently, but it was learned he plans to buy a home in Washington and spend much of his time here during the next few years. A Washington real estate dealer already has approached one of the President’s aids with a project to sell Mr. Coolidge the S street home

DYE RTISKMENT COLD RELIEVED INSTANTLY WAY DOCTORS ROW ADVISE

Hospital Method Doctors Novr Advise For Home Use Helps Many Here to End Colds Neglecting a head or chest cold Is sure to cause needless misery and may risk pneumonia. ’ Uo doctors are now recommending a method that is giving vast numbers of Indianapolis people almost instant relief—then quickly drives the cold out of one’s systm. Miss Helen Parker, for example, neglected her cold until her eyes became inflamed, her nose stopped up and congestion started spreading. Then she called her doctor, who advised Ayer’s Pectoral —a hospital certified compound of wild cherry, terpin hydrate, etc. With the first pleasant swallow she felt its comforting, healing warmth, Relief began instantly and in an hour or so the medication was absorbed by her system, loosening up congestion in her nose passages and chest. When she awoke next morning there was practically no j sign of the cold—and in another ; day or so congestion had disap- | peared entirely.

|of President-Elect Hoover, which j Hoover has said would go on the market about inauguration time. These advances, however, have not yet reached the President. And there is no information as to whether he would consider the proposition. Further evidence the President now plans to return to Washington is found in the fact most of the boxes now being packed at the capital's foremost residence will not be shipped to Massachusetts. To many observers this confirms the report the retiring President will be offered the next vacancy on the supreme court bench. At the same time, it satisfies some of Coolidge’s friends he is not being considered for the chairmanship of the United States Steel Corporation, as once reported, or for the presidency of Amhurst college. Notwithstanding the President often has been amused by the positions “selected” for him it is Known he has given serious consideration to future plans during the last year. As now formulated they call for a period of virtual retirement at Northampton for six or eight months after March 4. During this period, the President plans to mull over his papers preparatory to the task of writing the story of his administration at some more remote period.

Note: Other cases reported dally—all certified by attending physician. Absorbed by the system Ayer’s Pectoral helps get rid of congestion, reduce the “feverish," “achy” feeling and drive the cold out of your system. Just a few pleasant spoonful now and you, too, will feel like a different person toinororw. Endorsed by Hook Drug Cos. and all druggists.
