HIGH COUNTY TAX INCREASE DELAYSBUQGET Commissioners Declare 35 Cents on SI GO Necessary for 1930. Faced with the necessity of adjusting anew tax rate which may be as high as 35 cents on SIOO of taxable property, Harry Dunn, county auditor, declared today that he would not be able to have final figures in the 1930 Marion county budget ready before Wednesday. Commissioners finished their consideration of the budget late Saturday, and announced that the new levy of 35 cents probably would be necessary. The 1929 rate was 31.5 cents on SIOO. Two Funds Increased Only two of the four county tax funds, however, will be increased, according to the commissioners. They are the county general fund end the free gravel road repair fund. Just how much the general fundwill be boosted has not been decided definitely, although it will be raised enough to remove any possibility of a deficit. Funds sufficient to pay all operating expenses during 1930 without having to float bond issues are desired by the commissioners. Property Valuation Increases Commissioners, in fixing the new fate, believe that an increase in the assessed valuation of county property will net between $10,000,000 and $15,000,000 next year. With a property valuation this year of $780,000,000 plus the 3.5-cent boost, approximately $400,000 additional funds will be available in the county treasury In 1930. Due to annexation of territory in Center township by th city recently, residents living outside Indianapolis in the township face an especially large rate raise, exclusive of the boost in the budget. The additional land will give the city property valued at $2,450,150 for tax purposes and will mean a corresponding loss to residents outside Indianapolis.

HONEY CHIEFS MEET TO FIX INTEREST RATE Seek to Curtail Stocks Speculation; Hold Funds for Farmers. BY JOSEPH S. WASNEY, United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.—The federal reserve board met today to consider the general financial situation resulting from its unexpected raising of the New York bank rediscount rate to 6 per cent last week, a move which squeezed millions of dollars from stock quotations. The federal reserve board particularly is concerned to conserve federal reserve bank resources to meet seasonal requirements for the fall crop movement and the autumn increase in business and industry. Increasing the New York banks rediscount rate from 5 to 6 per cent was the board’s first step in its latest campaign to curtail stock market credit. Thousands of speculators eagerly were awaiting news of the board’s discussions, because of the possibility of raising the rediscount rate of all member banks east of the Mississippi river to 6 per cent within a few weeks. In some reserve board districts it was reported the governors of banks felt the board should allow a week or more to elapse in order to determine the effect of the New York rate increase before deciding upon further action. Elsewhere, however, the opinion was expressed that unless all banks east o fthe Mississippi raised their rate to the 6 per cent level their resources would flow to New York and into speculative market. • All federal reserve banks, with the exception of New York, now have a 5 per cent rediscount rate. Treasury experts said the great difficulty the board faces is checking speculative credit, without forcing higher money rates on Industry or agriculture.

CITY MANAGER APPEAL 1$ UP Supreme Court Will Hear Arguments Tuesday. Oral arguments will be heard by the state supreme court Tuesday on the constitutionality of the city manager law. This is expected to be the final step towards obtaining an early decision. The arguments will be based on the case appealed from the Marion county superior court June 13, when Judge William O. Dunlavy held the law constitutional. The constitutionality of law was attacked on the grounds the legislature had no power to pass a law regulating city government; that it is a local or special law thereby infringing city self government; that the city commission would have the executive, legislative and judicial power, contrary to law; that the law forbids officers to take part in elections and campaigns and that it does not provide that all city officers be residents of the city. The legal talent arrayed against the constitutionality of the law will be led by Clinton H. Givan, while the proponents will be headed by Fred C. Gause.

SINGING-TALKERS GLORIFY THE GIRLS ‘On With the Show’ Strikes a New Note in the Modern Movie Because It Is Done in Natural Color. BY HALTER D. HICKMAN Alan CROSLAND has won for himself the title of Ziegfeld of the screen after turning out "On With the Show.” When it comes to building a complete revue, then sandwiching in a story of back stage life for the love interest, this man Crosland is surely there in a hundred ways. Where “The Broadway Melody” had only a few of its big scenes in natural color, “On With the Show” is done entirely in natural color. I am sure that I am not overstating when I tell yoil that this movie has just as elaborate scenes as Ziegfeld ever had produced for his famous stage revues.

The director has ' been wise in get- j ting names for his j cast. You see and j hear Ethel Waters | do her famous blues stunt just as she does on the stage. And I might remark wisely, Yes, Ethel appears in her natural brown color. To my way of thinking Ethel about walks away with the whole works. Her voice records splendidly

Louise Fazenda

and she photographs like a house on fire. Then you have the expert singing and dancing of the Fairbanks Twins of legitimate fame, j The Harmony Emperors Quartet, a j colored organization, assists Miss Waters. Os course Ethel sings of that dame who originally came from Birmingham. You would expect good legitimate work from Sam Hardy, Lee Moran, Wheeler Oakman and Thomas Jefferson. For movie names you have such worth while ones as Betty Compson, Arthur Lake, in a song and dance affair, Louise Fanzenda, as Sarah, the dame with the off-stage laugh and all dolled up like a truck horse on the Fourth of July, as well as others. The work of the singing and the dancing chorus is easily the best I have seen on the talking and singing screen. And the natural color of the costumes certainly gives you many a pretty picture. My friend Connell Turpin who keeps up on all the new music tells me that “On With The Show” has really two song hits, especially the love song and “Let Me Have My Dreams.” This picture is really a story within a story. You see the launching of anew revue and between scenes you get the low down on all the troubles everybody is having of getting the show on. The comedy work of Miss Fazenda and Joe E. Brown helps the picture out when the back stage story sags abit. You are going to ask me if “On With The Show” is as good entertainment as “The Broadway Melody.” “Melody” may have the stronger and more human story but “The Show” sure has the sets, the chorus and the professional principals. , . . j Like to hear from you which one you like best and why. “On With The Show” is now on view at the Apollo. a a a LOOKING OVER THE INDIANA Ruth Chatterton is fast becoming a favorite with movie fans, and beyond doubt her work in “ Charming

Sinners” will add much to her growing popularity. Having had stage experience has been much to her advantage. Asa sophisticated wife in “Charming Sinners,” w'ho is very much in love with her philandering husband, she creates a very interesting character, smart and lieflike in every detil.

Ruth Chatterton

Clive Brook, playing the husband, also gives a very good performance. Asa doctor he has the advantage over other men, to carry on love

affairs with other men's wives, under the pretense that they are his patients. Other members of the cast who do nice work are William Powell and Masy Nolan. Although Powell has not a great deal to do, his presence in the picture adds very much in nuking it interesting entertainment. The theme, although old, still has is appeal, and is carried out very nicely in this picture. The play itself was first known by the title of “The Constant Wife.” Ethel Barrymore played in this on the stage. It concerns itself with a wife, who, finding her husband losing interest in herself for another woman, quickly sets about to regain his affections by showing interest in a former sweetheart. Although the picture seems to get a slow start, as a whole it is very pleasing entertainment. The stage presentation, “Fifth Avenue,” created by Jack Parkington, although nothing to rave about, is rather spectacular in its appeal. The scenery and the costumes seem to be the most important. If you like dogs, you would enjoy Hector and Pals, a clever dog act. The other acts are nothing above the average. However, I would like to say that Charlie Davis seemed more like a guest entertainer this week than a permanent one. He appears alone on the stage, with a piano, trumpet, banjo, saxaphone, with a drop behind him. The orchestra is in the pit, conducted by Ed Resener, the entire performance. Charlie does not hesitate, but begins to show just what he can do with the several instruments gathered around him. News reel concludes the program, now on view at the Indiana until Friday.—(By Connell Turpin.) tt tt tt CHANEY DOES A SORT OF A MONTE BLUE Might tell you at this time that Lon Chaney does a sort of a Monte Blue in “Thunder.” Monte talked a bit in his engineer movie but Chaney, says not a word. “Thunder” will add no prestige to Chaney’s name. This man seems

destined to use strange and terrible makeups and when he goes just natural, well that Chaney, something is missing. We expect the unnatural makeup from Chaney. We want him to live up to his title of being the man with a thousand faces. When we see him playing the role of a railroad engineer,

Lon Chaney

we probably all will agree that

Monte Blue or anyone else could have played it just as well. This picture may not answer the question whether Chaney will be able to hold his public by keeping silent. I know that such pictures as “Thunder” will not help him to maintain his silent position with any great security. The best thing in the picture are the flood scenes, showing Chaney at the throttle of a great engine ploughing through the waters in the flooded Mississippi district. The sob scenes showing Chaney and his son of the story in a hospital adds nothing to the story. It strikes me that the director had a much difficult time in stretching the story out over so much film space. Be your own judge of this Chaney movie and I have mine and it is not laudatory. The best thing on the bill is a Laurel and Hardy comedy, “Men O’War.” Now at the Palace. The Circle this week is holding over “The Cocoanuts" with the four Marx brothers. We have told you that we like this one, especially the comedy. Other theaters today offer the Lockfords at the Lyric: “Dance Crazy” at the Colonial; “Dangerous Curves” at the Ohio, and “The Shake-Down” at the Granada.

FORD GIVES AID AFTER ACCIDENT Lends Help Following Fatal Motor Collision. Bu United Press MARLBORO, Mass., Aug. 12. Henry Ford, in his shirt sleeves, assisted with the rescue work after a quadruple motor vehicle collision in which two persons were killed and two others wore perhaps fatally injured late Sunday night. The unusual accident occurred about half a mile south of Ford’s wayside inn at Sudbury. One of the first at the scene was the automobile magnate, accompanied by E. J. Boyer, his local manager. Ford, with others, extricated two men and a boy from a wrecked automobile which had burst into flames after the crash. Captain Roy Ducharme, 35, of Worcester, was killed. Joseph Haines, 14, of Worcester, was fatally burned and died early today. Two other victims, Charles Haines, 40, Joseph’s father, and Walter Isaacson, both of Worcester, were seriously injured. The accident occurred when one automobile collided with a Wor-cester-to-Boston motor bus and two other automobiles crashed into the disabled machines. Twenty-five passengers aboard the bus were severely shaken but escaped injury, as did the operators of two of the automobiles involved. After Ford had assisted in removing three victims from the blazing automobile, he turned traffic “cop” and for several minutes directed the lines of automobiles passing the scene. Then he returned to the inn and retired.

BANDITS KIDNAP THEATER CHIEF TO LOOT SAFE Force Manager to Return to Office and Open Strong Box. Bu United Press CHICAGO, Aug. 12—Six polite bandits obtained between $4,000 and $5,000 from the safe of the StateCongress theater, downtown burlesque house, early today after kidnaping the manager, Charles D. Peet. The gunmen accosted Peet as he arrived at his south side apartment with Mrs. Peet and their neighbors, Mr. and Mrs. W. G. Rath. “We’re robbers, folks, but you needn’t raise your hands,” the bandit spokesman told them. He directed them to walk quietly into the Peet apartment. The leader asked Peet if he were the theater manager. The latter admitted this, and was detained in the dining room while his wife and the Raths were marched into the kitchen. The bandit leader called two henchmen from the kitchen. Leaving two to guard the women and Rath, the other four marched Peet to anew sedan and sped to the theater. The manager was forced into his office and bound to a chair alongside Ellsworth Adams, night building superintendent, who was brought from a balcony. Peet's chair was pushed close to the safe and his right hand freed to manipulate the dial. The safe door opened on the second trial. The four men loaded currency and silver into a canvas sack. The leader telephoned Pee’s home and asked the accomplice who answered if everything was all right at the apartment. “All right. Jack.” he said, “we’ll meet and split the stuff at my house. You cut the wires at that end and I’ll do the same here. ’ The leader then tore the telephone cord from the box in Peet's office, motioned his men to follow and walked out with the money sack. LABOR LEADER BOMBED Official and Family Blown From Beds; None Injured. CHICAGO, Aug. 12.—Anton J. Inhahn, a labor union official, and members of his family were thrown from their beds early today as a black powder bomb exploded at Inhahn’s apartment. None was injured. The bomb had been tossed into the basement under the room where Inhahn slept. Police blamed strife within the labor organization.
