53-CENT TAX LEVY FOR 1930 FACES COUNTY Advance of 22.5 Provided in Budget Going to Council. TENTATIVE TOTAL $3.29 Institutions and Desire to Avoid Borrowing Is Cause of Boost. Indianapolis taxpayers today were faced with an unprecedented county tax rate for 1930 of 53 cents on each SIOO worth of taxable property, which, combined with probable rates for other governmental branches, threatens to boost the total rate to $3,29. The high county rate was announced today by County Auditor Harry Dunn when he completed compilation of the new budget. Dunn said a deficit in county funds and an increased free gravel road fund were the two principal reasons for the boost. The present county rate is 31.5 cents. County council members will meet Sept. 4 to consider the budget and rate, but this session is not expected to result in any large reductions. Other rates, now under consideration, entering into the total rate for Indianapolis taxpayers, are: City, $1.11; school city, $1.35, and state, 30 cents, aggregating $3.29 on Center township property. The rate now in effect is $2.70. A 30-cent state tax rate would represent a 7-cent increase over the present state rate. To Avoid Borrowing Dunn ascribed the tax rate increase to the determination of the county to meet running expenses through the budget, and not by borrowing money through issuance of bonds. County institutions, support of the Orphans’ Home and state benevolent institutions all show an increase for 1930, and, according to Dunn, contribute to the tax raise. Chief among these is the Riley Memorial hospital, for which SIOO,OOO is asked. In 1929, Dunn pointed out, the Orphans’ Home and benevolent institutions requested $75,000, while in 1930 they seek SIOO,OOO. Raises in various county funds follow: General fund, 27 cents, raise of 13 cents: sinking fund, 17 cents, raise of 5.5 cents; tuberculosis hospital. 4 cents, raise of 3.5 cents, and free gravel road fund, 5 cents, raise of 2.5 cents. Valuation Gains $9,000,000 The total county property valuation for 1930 is estimated at $789,000,000. This year the valuation was $780,000,000. Due to temporary loans pending, and to provide a balance for Jan. 1, 1931, so temporary loans will not have to be issued in the future, an additional levy of 13 cents is required, Dunn said. On Jan. 1. 1929, due to a 14-cent levy cut by the county council and state tax board on the appropriation, for 1929, deficit of $74,195 resulted. To this is added a $361,881 appropriation made in 1929 and a temporary loan Jan. 1, 1929 of $350,000 which was to have been paid before June 1. The county has been unable to pay these loans and a balance of $200,000 at 6 per cent is still unpaid. An additional loan dated Aug. 1 for $350,000 was required to finish out the year. Still another temporary loan will be required June 1, 1930, amounting to $350,000 to care for running expenses. Salary Increases Asked Different county offices have requested salary increases amounting to $58,475. The biggest of these is in the treasurer’s office, where ’an additional $44,000 is asked for new employes recently added to the staff. School board members are meeting this week to reduce the proposed $1.35 rate. Under this figure the school city income would be increased $2,500,000 next year, although if the present $1 02 rate had been retained, an increase of about $1,350,000 would have been realized due to increased valuation of Indianapolis property. The 1930 school building program of about $1,000,000, if permitted to stand, calls for an increase of 12 cents. Increase in the number of teachers and their pay will account for 8 cents of the levy, if approved, school officials said. STATE BUILDING CLERK WILL QUIT ON SEPT. 1 NoWesville Man Mentioned for A. L. Gutheil's Post, A. L. Gutheil. state building and kn clerk since 1925, announced today he would resign, effective Sept. 1. It was understood at the statehouse that L B.

Alger Hunt Is Spurred by Leslie Governor Condemns Bank Bandit Suspect for Parole Breach. "I’m through with Alger!" Those words, spoken with finality, but shaded with regret, today expressed Governor Harry G. Leslie’s attitude toward the youthful parole violator, who accepted clemency and now is the object of a nation-wide search in connection with the robbery of the Paris Crossing State Bank. Authorities in every state today had been warned to keep a lookout for Gene Alger, 21, and his new bride, the former Miss Josephine Miller, daughetr of a Jeffersonville police sergeant, who fled from Indianapolis as warrants were isued for their arrest, charging them with the bank holdup last Thursday. After serving two years of his two to twenty-one year sentence for the murder of an Indianapolis policeman, Alger, former Butler university student, was paroled from the state prison May 10 so that he might rejoin his mother, Mrs. Gail Alger, 409 North Walcott, on Mother’s Day. "Alger fumbled the ball and ruined the whole team,” said the Governor. "Six hundred men are on parole from the state prison. Alger had to be the one to fumble the ball. I feel sorry for his parents. “But my faith in humanity isn’t blasted,” the Governor added. "Unless we hold out some hope to those behind the prison bars, they will see only blackness and despair.” Carl Losey, state policeman, who swore out the affidavits on which warrants for the Algers were issued, left Indianapolis Monday night without disclosing his "Tips” on the pair’s whereabouts have been proven fruitless. A maximum of seventy years’ imprisonment might be levied against Alger. For violation of his parole, nineteen years might be assessed. He faces ten to twenty each on the automobile and bank banditry charges and ten to twenty years for commission of a crime while armed. Warrants charging bank and automobile banditry were sworn out against Mrs. Alger, who faces a maximum term of fifty years in prison.

]DR. SNOOK IS SENTENCED TO DIEJOV. 29 Begins Wait for Doom in Death Row at Ohio State Prison. FOUR OTHERS IN TRYST Professor ‘Rooms’ With Two More Murderers in Cell. By United Press COLUMBUS, 0., Aug. 20.—The gates of the state penitentiary swung shut behind Dr. James Howard Snook today, fifteen minutes after he had been sentenced to death for the murder of Theora Hix. Th former university professor, American pistol champion and club man was assigned number 60636 and a few moments later was locked in “death row” where four other men are awaiting execution. Dr. Snook will be electrocuted shortly after sundown on Nov, 29, the day after Thanksgiving, the judge ruled. He stood, heavily manacled, before the gates of the penitentiary, twelve minutes after Judge Henry L. Scarlett overruled a motion for a new trial and imposed sentence. ‘Rooms’ With Two Slayers In the bull pen where his handcuffs were unlocked, Snook turned to Sheriff Harry T. Paul and said: "Thank you for your kindness, sheriff.” He then was led down a long gray corridor to death row. There guards searched him, minutely examining each article of his apparel. He had $4.45 in his pockets. It was taken, a guard telling him: “You can spend this later.” Snook’s cellmates are Joseph B. Locks of Portsmouth, who killed his mother-in-law, and Arthur Maul, Akron youth, who shot a policemen. As the doctor entered the row, Maul stepped forward. "Hello, Doc,” he said. "Welcome.” Snook shook hands with both men. Gets an Upper Bank Because of a heavy wire mesh between them he couldn’t "shake” with two Negroes, one of them a preacher, who also are awaiting execution. There are four bunks in the cell, two "lowers” and two "uppers.” Locke and Maul take precedence, so Snook was assigned to an upper. Snook will be "dressed in” later, his protograph being placed on the rogue’s gallery and his finger prints in the Bertillon records. His first meal was to consist of beef fricassee, whole wheat bread and ice water. For his evening meal he will eat fried bacon, mashed potatoes and gravy, whole wheat bread and tea.

Woman Air Derby Flier Killed in Plane Crash; Body Is Found in Desert

Victim Located 200 Feet From Wrecked Machine; Leaped for Life. Bn United Press WELLTON, Ariz., Aug. 20.—1n a dense undergrowth of arrow weed and mesquite, six miles north of here today searching parties came upon the broken body of 25-year-old Marvel Crosson, one of America’s best known women pilots. She had jumped from the cockpit of her airplane Monday when it went into a tailspin as she was flying over the Gila river bed in the women’s airplane race from Santa Monica, Cat., to Cleveland, O. Two hundred feet from Miss Crosson’s body lay the wreckage of her plane, indicating that she had leaped out only a few seconds before it crashed, but too late to save herself. On her back was the parachute which might have brought her to safety had 'she left the plane sooner. The finding of Miss Crosson’s body rewarded an all night search in the deep underbrush of this desolate region by a volunteer rescue party of 200 men. Arrangements were made to cut away the undergrowth so that a wagon could come in and take Miss Crosson’s body to Yuma.

She had been killed on Monday’s stage of the race when her plane went into a tailspin. In addition to the gloom caused by the death of one of America’s best-known women pilots, the remaining entrants, including Ruth Elder and Amelia Earhart, Atlanta fliers, were disturbed by complaints from Thea Rasche and Claire Fahy, forced down Monday, that someone had tampered with their planes. Bobbie Trout, who also was forced down, former holder of the women’s endurance flight record and Opal Kun of New York also said that they believed their instruments had been misadjusted while still in California.

MISS MARVEL CROSSON, woman air derby flier, who was killed Monday, was born in Warsaw, Ind., on April 27, 1904. Her father is Filer E. Crosson and her mother was christened Elizabeth Wynant. Marvel has an older brother Joseph and a younger sister Zelma. The three children were reared on a ranch and attended a grade school near Minneapolis, Kan. Marvel was graduated from the Logan county high school in Sterling, Colo. While still a child she was fascinated with the accomplishments of a barnstorming aviator named McMullen, who flew in an oldstyle “pusher” airplane at the fair in Sterling. In 1922 the family moved to San Diego, Cal., and the many airplanes operated there prompted Marvel and her brother to buy one of the surplus planes then being sold by the United States army. It was in this plane that Marvel and her brother learned to fly. In the spring of 1923 the brother mdae his first solo flight, after which he helped Marvel. Both developed rapidly and soon after entered the aviation business. nun IN 1925, the commercial possibilities of aviation in Alaska, where aerial transportation is used often when all other forms are useless, led Marvel and her brother into the north. Joe worked as a transport pilot. Marvel kept busy In commercial work, exhibitions and as an aviation executive. In Alaska, she developed into such a competent pilot that her brother persuaded her to return to "The States” to make a name for herself. Numerous accomplishments reached their climax when the girl established the world record for altitude for women. On June 28, 1929, Marvel was officially credited with 23,996 feet.

SWISS AVIATORS WAITED IN U. S.

Groom Zeppelin for Pacific Flight; Sun God on Last Leg of Hop. Oskar Kaeser, 22, and Kurt Luscher, 21, Swiss fliers, attempting a nonstop flight from Spain to the United States were presumed nearing the United States today and their trans-Atlantic flight was holding the spotlight in world aviation circles. The Graf Zeppelin was being refueled at Tokio for its trans-Paciflic flight to Los Angeles, the third leg of its round-the-world tour which started at Lakehurst, and the Spokane Sun God was completing the final lap of its return transcontinental endurance trip. The death of Marvel Crosson, entrant in the woman’s air derby was the only blot on the day’s page of events in the air. The youthful Swiss aviators, braving the Atlantic air lanes with but little experience in air navigation and without a radio, were believed to be nearing Halifax. They left Lisbon at 2 a. m. eastern standard time Monday and passed over the Azores at 1 p. m. Monday. The Spokane Sun God, piloted by Nick Mamer and Art Walker, appeared over the Butte (Mont.) airport at 9:30 a. m. today for refueling for the last dash toward Spokane in their round trip coast-to-coast flight. The Sun God’s refueling plans, piloted by R. W. Wilson, landed at Butte to receive a load of gasolnie and oil for the endurance plane. If all goes well, the two pilots may complete their nonstop trip late today at Spokane. They left last Thursday night. The ship left New York early Sunday on Its return flight. The Graf Zeppelin was refueled and its motors timed up at Tokio for its hop to Los Angeles, which will start at 4 a. m. Thursday.

LESLIE PROMISES INQUIRY INTO CHARGES OF WASTE BYJTATE ROAD DIVISION Governor Declares He Will Investigate Huge Maintenance and Repair Costs Revealed by Times Probe. COMMISSION ALSO READY TO ACT Matter Will Be Discussed at Monthly Meeting Wednesday; Governor Goes Back to Finish Vacation. Promise of personal inquiry into charges of wasteful expenditures on state highway department motor equipment was made today by Governor Harry G. Leslie, while highway commission members prepared to discuss the matter at their monthly meeting Wednesday. The Governor returned to Indianapolis Monday night from Dunes park for a busy half-day with state affairs and was to return to Lake county early this afternoon to continue his vacation with his family. “I am interested in the motor transport matter,” Governor Leslie said, "and when I get back I am going to give it time and attention. I know little about it, but I have not altered my intention to insist on a business administration, and that, of course, includes all state departments.”

Because he was fishing in the wilds of Canada most of last week, newspaper accounts of the motor transport squabble had not reached him, the Governor said. Contents of a report detailing motor transport expenditures for the fiscal year 1927-1928 first were published in The Times last Wedensday, showing how one year’s maintenance on a single Ford mounted above SI,OOO, while some 225 of them, many new, cost an average of approximately $320 for maintenance and repair. Trucks and tractors ran into the thousands in the year. The figures included tires, but not gas or oil, and indicated uneconomical management, it was charged. The Governor’s statement made it certain the inquiry would be supplementary to action of the highway commission or Highway Director John J. Brown. Brown has said he was interested in the figures only in so far as they might suggest the need or possibility for remedy. Commissioners, on the eve of their monthly meeting, said they would “sift” the matter. Present policy of the commission

Hoover Acts to Relieve Prison Jam Bu United Press _ WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.—Immediate steps to relieve overcrowding in the federal prisons at Leavenworth, Kan., and Atlanta, Ga„ were outlined by President Hoover today. Subject to solution of technicalities involved, they army prison at Leavenworth, with a capacity of 1,600 inmates, will be transferred from the jurisdiction of the war department to the department of justice. The army prisoners at present in the military establishment at Leavenworth will be transferred to other army posts. Conferences with department of justice officials convinced President Hoover that present conditions at Leavenworth and Atlanta could not await solution through the $5,000,000 expansion program announced several weeks ago. A survey of army prisons revealed that the three principal military prisons were only about one-third filled. By removing 600 inmates from the Leavenworth military prison and distributing them among the army prisons at Governors island and Alcatraz, the Leavenworth plant will be transferred, empty, to the department of justice to be consolidated with the regular federal prison at the same place. The President indicated this transfer could be made within thirty days. NANlil DUTCH MINISTER Hoover Appoints Michigan Man to Post in Holland. Bu United Press WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.—Gerrit J.

is to dismantle and salvage worn out equipment, Albert J. Wedeking (Rep.), of Dale, commission chairman, declared today. “I asked for and got some figures from that report just prior to John Williams’ leaving the directorship,” Wedeking said. “It then was decided by the commission, and since has been its policy, that when it is more expensive to maintain old equipment than the interest charges on the investment plus the upkeep of the new equipment would be, then plainly it is a matter of good business to salvage what we could of the old equipment and invest in new.” Wedeking said he assumed this policy was being followed. Manlove, however, told The Times he was unable to supply this year’s maintenance and repair costs on the antique Dodge touring car on which $1,871.99 was spent in the one year, 1927-1928. This could not be done, he said, until requisitions were totaled. Consequently, he was unable to offer data showing that the excessive expenditures had not continued this year. Jess L. Murden (Rep.) of Peru, appointed to the board April 17, 1928, said he had read of the high maintenance costs, and favored looking into them. Leaves Jt to Brown “The director, Mr. Brown, has the authority to inspect the figures,” he said, “and I’m of the opinion he’s doing it. Highway trucks are put to hard usage, of course, but sometimes they’re kept too long.” Robert Boren (Dem.) of Fountain City, strong ally of Omer S. Manlove, motor transport division chief, said he believes The Times’ articles had not given the motor transport division a “fair deal.” “I think it’s my place, as a member of the commission, to be sure these figures are shown,” he said. “Not only that, but I demand they be laid out on the table for inspection of the whole commission.” A. P. Melton (Dem.), Gary, recently appointed, is the fourth member of the commission. Report Kept Hushed The report never reached the highway commission as a body, the director, or the legislative committee that tried to check highway department figures before voting a 1-cent increase in the gasoline tax last spring. Neither was it published in the department’s annual report made part of the 1928 year book. Average repair and maintenance costs for the highway department’s cars, obtained by The Times today, bear out indications of wasteful and extravagant methods. Following are the one-year averages for various makes, compiled after new or practically new cars were eliminated from the lists; the figures including labor, materials, overhead expenses and tires, but not gasoline or oil: Make Number 1 Yr.
