Mrs. Opal Kunz Serves Notice That All Events Must Be Open. By United Press MUNICIPAL AIRPORT, CLEVELAND, Aug. 30. —Rebellion flared in the ranks of women fliers at the national air show today when Mrs. Opal Kunz, New York society woman and one of the derby fliers, demanded women be permitted to compete in all men’s races. She made the demand to Cliff Henderson, director of the races. “There are only two or three events in this show in which women may compete,” Mrs. Kunz said. “Six of us have transport licenses, but can not fly with 19-year-old boys who have been flying only a short time. “When Miss Marvel Crosson was killed in the desert and when Lady Mary Heath crashed, it was ghastly business, but we carried on like men fliers. “I will not compete in a meet where there is sex segregation. This is a matter of deciding the future of women in aviation.” Program Starts Early Massed bands started off the program an hour earlier today so all events could be run off within the time limit. There was a shadow of gloom over the airport on account of Lady Mary Heath’s accident Thursday. Precautions were taken to prevent another accident, Lady Mary’s having been the first of any consequence since the air races started. Her plane fell through the roof of a factory. The field was kept cleared of all planes except the ones actually taking part in the events under way. At the far side of the airport where air mail and passenger planes come and go they were allowed to clear the field before others took off. The safety announcement had no more than been made when an accident was averted narrowly. Mrs. Evangeline Lindbergh, mother of the famous flier, arrived from Detroit in a tri-motored plane. Plaqe Tips Over As she landed, a Great Lakes plane, piloted by Howard Mays, came down and they nearly collided. Mays swerved his plane to avoid a crash and tipped over. He was unhurt. His plane was damaged slightly. A moment later Lindbergh arrived from the Herrick estate in a navy plane and met his mother. They kissed and talked quietly. She did not seem shaken after the j escape. I To avoid crowds, Lindbergh 1 bundled his mother into a plane and took to the air. Clarence Chamberlin, trans-At-lantic flier in a monoplane of his own design, won first place in the race for ships of 215-510 cubic inch motor displacement. His average speed for the sixty miles was 114.8 j miles per hour. R. W. Brown, New York, was second with a 112 average It was the second heat of the race, the finals being on tomorrow’s program. Chamberlin will compete with Verne L. Roberts, Moline. 111., who won Thursday’s heat. Art Student Is Graduate Theodore Weaver.

Holy War Opened With Destruction of Football

By United Press CAIRO. Aug. 30.—An American missionary in Jerusalem, an eyewitness to the initial conflict which resulted in the bloodiest religious war seen here in years, said today that the trouble which had been smoldering for a decade broke into flame with the destruction of a football. The missionary, who refused to disclose his identity, said a group of Jewish boys had been bouncing a football off an Arab's garden wall. The irate Moslem captured the ball and hacked it to pieces. A quarrjl ensued and one of the boys was killed. ‘The following day.” the missionery said, “the authorities tried to divert the funeral from passing the Arab quarter. The Jew’s resisted Several casualties resulted. These two incidents started bad blood brewing. *

INDIANAPOLIS, FRIDAY, AUG. 30, 1929

COUNCIL SETS sl.lO LEVY FOR CITYINI93O Rate Approved Is Same as This Year and Appeal Is Improbable. WILL RAISE $8,780,000 Sponsors of Increases on Street and General Funds Abandon Plans. The civil city tax rate for 1930 today stood at sl.lO on each SIOO of taxable property, the same as for 1929. Since the rate was not increased over the present levy it was believed unlikely anyone will appeal the 1930 appropriation ordinance to the state tax board. The budget and levy was approved by the city council Thursday night. Civic leaders, continued their study of the county budget calling for a 21.5-cent boost and the school city rate which is 32 cents higher than this year’s figure. William H. Book, chairman of the Chamber of Commerce civic affairs committee, was expected to announce recommendations on the county budget Saturday. An ordinance appropriating $8,780,000, which will be raised by the levy, was passed by city council Thursday night at a special meeting. Urges Strict Increase The general fund levy will be $0.6174, instead of $0,635, which was fixed for 1929. Increase of the thoroughfare levy from 1 cent to l'i cents was urged by Herman P. Lieber, the council’s representative on the city plan commission. Lieber cited need for the money to carry out a program of eliminating hazardous corners. Councilman John F. White insisted on boosting the general fund rate to $0.62, increasing the estimated balance from $14,000 to $41,000. White pointed out this increase would pay an anticipated deficit of from $12,000 to $30,000 in the city light, water and heat bills and leave a small working balance in the fund. White and Lieber finally withdrew their objections in committee and voted for the appropriation at the formal session. Says Budget Law “The budget, to the best of our judgment, is the minimum necessary for economical operation of government, and the levies are the lowest possible for balancing income with expenditures and preventing deficits,” Council President Edward B. Raub said. “Probably no city manager, taking office in a large city after a change in form of government, has ! found as favorable financial conditions of government as our city manager will find in Indianapolis.” Appropriations for 1930 are: General $4,718,626.10 City sinking 435,754.75 Flood prevention sinking 181,536.66 War Memorial sinking..,,,... 126,560.00 Police pension 61,122.60 Fire pension 61,122.60 Track elevation 135,828.00 Street resurfacing 135,828.00 Thoroughfares 67,914.00 Cltv street improvement 277,124.25 Public health 701,061.94 School health 82,000.00 Tuberculosis prevention 46,400.00 1 Park, general 474,583.00 Park, sinking 286,686.16 !

$75,000 REBATE BY SHIPP ON SCHOOL JOB ASKED

Bushel of ‘Contribs’ Retrieved By Science Scrvtce . YELLOWSTONE PARK, Aug. 29.—A bushel and a half ol hairpins, nails, badges and other miscellaneous articles too numerous to mention have been retrieved from Handkerchief Pool during a recent housecleaning. . .. 0 . According to Dr. E. T. Bodenburg, ranger naturalist, visitors at the park must have the idea that the famous pool operates on the principle of a slot machine, for coins to the value of SL9B were included in the haul. . , . The investigation of the spring’s “plumbing was undertaken to facilitate the current movements for which the spring is noted. The currents are due to the cool water sinking on the sides of the pool while the warm water rises in the center. Os late years the whole movement has slowed down considerably and it was suspected that the pool was clogged up by the free contributions of park tourists. , . ~ The convection currents are much more apparent since tne cleaning, but there is indication that more work still will be necessary.

“Last Friday I saw a group of Arabs_ chase several Jews out of St. Stephen’s gate, butchering those who were slower of foot. Afterward they began to ambush cars along the Jericho road in the vicinity of the Mt. of Olives, knifing and clubbing the Jews, but not molesting others. “I saw one driver dash his car down a steep precipice rather than be captured by the Arabs. Two Arabs stopped me and asked me what religion I belonged to. They did not molest me when I told them I was a Christian, but vowed to decapitate all Jews.” An Arab eyewitness to the bloody butchery in Jerusalem last Friday said that the Arabs 2.000 strong, started the attack at the wailing wall, capturing the Zionist flag The Jews resisted, recapturing it. “Later,” the missionary said, “I saw a crowd of Jews order an Arab armed with a stick to halt. He took to his heels and the Jews riddled him with bullets.”

Entered it Second-Class Matter at Postoffice, Indianapolis

Suit Asks Accounting and Refund on Shortridge High School. That excess profits of at least $75,000 were made by C. C, Shipp, Indianapolis ventilating equipment manufacturer, on the ventilating! equipment in the Shortridge high school through the stifling of all competition by the Indianapolis school board, is charged in a suit filed today in superior court room, one. The suit, demanding an accounting, was filed by Jacob Morgan, attorney for John M. Fisher, 109 West St. Clair street. This is the second suit brought against Shipp and the school board by Morgan on behalf of Fisher. In the first suit, filed Tuesday, Eisher charged Shipp was overpaid $12,440 by the school board for the ventilating equipment for schools 3 and 50. Co-defendents are C. C. York, school business director; Louis A. Snider, formerly of Indianapolis and now of Chicago, who was a consulting engineer in a partnership with John M. Rotz of Indianapolis, and Harry L. Freyn of Freyn Brothers, Indianapolis, heating and plumbing contractors. Claims Specifications Limited Fisher charged the heating and ventilating specifications were so written by Snider and Rotz that the description of the units were “of a size manufactured and sold by said Shipp or his company.” The closed competition not only for the ventilating equipment, but for other materials, resulted in increasing the cost of the high school by $230,000, Fished charged. The original bond issue for the school was $970,000, but after bids were opened the price range was so high it was necessary to increase the issue to $1,200,000, it is ged. Charges “Influeiu •” “This was the direct result of the Influence cast over the school board, its engineers and contractor directly and indirectly by said Shipp,” the suit said. The complaint alleged the type of equipment installed in Shortridge high school is commonly sold by other manufacturers for less than SSO a unit. It alleged Shipp obtained this price in other cities of Indiana, but that he charged $215 a unit in Indianapolis because “there was no competition” and that his total excess profit on the 400 units, plus other charges, was more than $75,000. Fisher asks there be an accounting of the compensation of Shipp, the fees of Snider and Rotz and the payments to Freyn Bros., and that the excess profits be repaid to the school board.

YOUNG PLAN DELEGATES IN FINALSESSIONS Advance to Completion of Technicalities as End of Meeting Nears. TO DRAFT PROTOCOLS British, Belgians Agree to Quit Rhineland in Swift Order. BULLETIN By United Press LONDON, Aug. 30.—The war office announced today that orders had been issued for the withdrawal of British troops from the Rhineland to begin Sept. 14 and continue for approximately three months. BY FREDERICK KUH United Press Staff Correspondent THE HAGUE, Aug. 30.—Having achieved a complete accord on the financial and political issues involved in the adoption of the Young plan, the delegates to the international reparations conference today advanced to the completion of the technical formalities which must precede the formal closing of their labors at The Hague. The delegates of the big six next will exchange notes on the evacuation of the Rhineland by June 30, 1930, and draft the protocols embodying the terms of the accord arrived at Thursday whereby they agreed to share with Germany the cost of Rhineland occupation and thus removed from the controversy the last stumbling block to a final understanding. By the terms of the accord, as it now stands ready for ratification by the parliaments of the various governments, Germany will contribute 30,000,000 marks (about $7,500.0001 toward payment of the Rhineland costs, while the rest of the burden amounting approximately to about 40,000,000 marks, will be carried by the occupying powers. Eight Months Is Limit The agreement also stipulated that the evacuation of the Rhine valley shall begin within two weeks and be completed within eight months time. The British and Belgians agreed to have their troops j out of the second zone within three months after the start. The French will begin evacuation of the third zone as soon as the French parliament ratifies ' the accord. Upon ratification, the French will move their troops out of the occupied territory as quickly as physical conditions permit, Jane 30, 1930 being fixed as the ultimate date for withdrawal of the last French soldier from German soil. In addition to the Rhineland accord, it was understood that Dr. Gustave Stresemann, German foreign minister, has obtained the consent of Aristide Briand, French premier, to arrange negotiations for settlement of the control of the rich Saar basin which Germany wishes to have returned to her hands. The idea of a special control commission to watch over the demilitarized zone was abandoned entirely, the agreement stipulating that the French, German and Belgian conciliation boards provided for by the Locarno treaties shall suffice to adjust difficulties and complaints arising in the Rhineland territory. Subject to Reservations This stipulation, however, was left subject to such reservations as the powers of the league council and assembly, under Article 213 of the Versailles treaty, may see fit to make. By arriving at an understanding : on Rhineland evacuation and the occupation costs, the delegates Thursday brought to a close three and a half weeks of bitter bickering and haggling, which threatened to wreck the conference and definitely block adoption of the Young plan. As the smoke of battle cleared all of the contestants felt that they had arrived at the best bargain possible if the Young plan was to be saved. Philip Snowden, British chancellor of the exchequer, was by the terms of the financial accord in possession of 80 per cent of 40,000,000 mark annual increase over the amount assigned to Great Britain in the reparations distribution provided for by the Young plan and Stresemann had obtained the evacuation of the Rhineland and the division of the occupation casts. Both could claim victory, but Stresemann’s triumph was ciouded by the fact that he had won his fight on the Rhineland only by committing Germany to financial sacrifices in order that Snowden’s demands for a greater share in the reparations might be met.
