SEEK CHURCHES’ VIEW ON RAZING FOR MEMORIAL County Commissioners and Legion Think Project Is Up to People. Conference today of county commissioners afid a committee representing the American Legion, involving removal of two churches from the war memorial site, resolved itself into a request to church officials for an expression of their opinion on the removal. Tangible results were seen at the close of the ‘session after John Shearer, board president, declared the removal now “rests with church officials and taxpayers.” Urgency in an immediate solution of the problem was expressed by the Legion committee in a suggestion that ten persons be selected immediately to appraise the two buildings. Such action was delayed on the advice of commissioners pending a conference in the near future with church executives and members. County Has Done All Shearer, as spokesman for the board, said it was his belief that “Marion county has done ail and more than was expected.” "It is a recognized fact,” Shearer said, “that the churches mar the beauty of the memorial, but the church people should be considered. The attitude of this board is that if taxpayers want to shoulder the burden, we are willing to proceed at once.” Shearer was asked if there is “any doubt that the people want the removal.” “There is doubt,” Shearer said, “because this board has received only two resolutions recommending the removal.” Members of the Legion committee were David H. Jennings, Joe Rand Beckett, spokesmen; Evans Woollen, Stephen Nolan and Frank A. White. Two Petitions Protest Shearer pointed out that two protest petitions against the removal had been filed. Refncval of the churches, which commissioners insist is a part-bur-den of the state, involves amounts estimated in excess oi $1,000,000 The county already has paid sl,300,000 for real estate for the plaza and the city spent $1,260,000, it was pointed out. According to recommendations of the Legion, in view of the fact it wall require about two years for the removal, the project should be set In motion at once. It is the opinion of the committee, however, that church delegates favor the removal. “The Legion seeks completion of the project so that Indiana mav invite the Legion to hold a national convention here in 1933, Frank A White, editor of the Hoosier Legionnaire, said. COUNTY ASSESSORS GIVEN INSTRUCTIONS Check of Stack Owned in Foreign Firms Needed, Says Wolfard. Accurate lists of stock in foreign corporations owned by Indiana taxpayers which will enable the states to collect a maximum intangible tax must be obtained, Pliny H. Woifard, state tax beard member told county assessors of Indiana assembled at the statehouse today for th:ir annual conference. The valuation of the stocks should be estimated accurately, he added. In order to hold down the numb jr of apeals to the tax beard, the assessors should invest "ate the appeal on SSO or less before they are tiled with the tax beard. Wol ard said. Clarence B. Hum, state inher tance tax k administrator, discussed phases of this work. The afternoon was devoted to questions regarding the assessors’ work. ARCHITECT WILL SPEAK Otto N.

SALTS FINE FOR ACHING KIDNEYS When Back Hurts Flush Your Kidneys by Drinking Lots of Water Most folks forget that the kidneys, like the bowels, sometimes get sluggish and clogged and need a flushing occasionally, else we have backache and dull misery in the kidney region, severe headaches, rheumatic twinges, torpid liver, acid stomach, sleeplessness and all sorts of bladder disorders. You simply must keep your kidneys active and clean and the moment you feel an ache or pain in the kidney region begin drinking lots of water. Also get about four ounces of Jad Salts from any good drug store here, take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a fefc days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia. and is intended to flush clogged kidneys and help stimulate them to activity. It also helps neutralize the acids in the urine so they no longer irritate, thus helping to relieve bladder disorders. Jad Salts is inexpensive: makes a delightful effervescent lithia water drink which everybody should take now and then to help keep their kidneys clean. A well-known local druggist says he aells lots of Jad Salts to fo'ks who believe in trying to com t kidney trouble while it is only trouble. —Advertisement.

STOP ACCOUNTS JUGGLING. ORDER TO ROADS BODY Orr to Serve Notice of Obedience to Budget Law Provisions. BY DANIEL M. KIDNEY Demand for the state h ghway commission to obey the budget law and stop juggling interdepartmental accounts will be served on the commissioners when they return from an inspection taur at | Noblesville, Lawrence F. Orr, chief examiner of the state board of accounts announced today. Orr is preparing recommendations based on a report submitted Tuesday to Director John J. Brown of the highway department by the state board of accounts. The report was the result of many months work by Ross Teckemeyer, field examiner of the state board of accounts. It covers the per.od of 1927-1928-29, but the end of the last fiscal year is incomplete “because of lack of departmet records,” the report sets out. Interdepartmental fund juggling is set forth in the sections covering conduct of the motor transport division under Omer S. Manlove. Records Conform The record shows that this division had available for 1927-28 the sum of $941,916, but spent $1,188,813. The difference was made up bytransfers from other departments of $361,688 and the Manlove records were made to show a division of but $827,124, the field examiner found. In 1928-29. the motor transport division overdrew $201,641 and this sum was permitted to be drawn j from the 1930 budget by the state j finance committee. There also was an overdraft of $431,499 in the construction depart- j ment under William J. Titus, chief j engineer. This also was taken care of by an advance approved by the state finance committee. The maintenance division under A. H. Hinkle showed a balance of $1,180,693 for the same period, the report sets out. Effort of other divisions to draw on this sum to care for overdrafts were refused approval by' the state auditor, Techemeyer said. First in Two Years For the first time in two years an inventory of physical properties of the motor transport division was made under board of accounts direction. In the report this shows the parts stock at central garage here to be worth $301,436, at the thirty-four subgarages throughout the state, $171,384; at the warehouse here, $51,546, and at the construction department’s Crawfordsville headquarters, $5,297. Total stock taking of the division showed a value of $529,664, exclusive of any machinery or equipment. Attention is called in the report to the manner of purchasing used truck parts from A. L. Pehrson, as a broker in such materials at his home address, 5647 North Delaware street. Pehrson is president of the Auto Equipment Company, 1021 North Meridian street. Many records of these transactions were unavailable and sales were based on conversations between Manlove and j l . E. Deupree, secretary cf the Auto Equipment Company, Teckemeyer reported. Sales on Discount There was no bidding for these parts, but sales were made on discounts from list prices. Overdrafts in the rotary fund of the department are listed as being from $6,707 in May, 1929. to $25,032 !n August. It is recommended that the volume of this fund be reduced greatly and overdrafts avoided. While the law provides for abolition of the motor transport division, as such, on Oct. 1, 1929. this action has not been taken officially by the commissioners, Teckemeyer declared. Brown announced that on Oct. 1, the division went under Hinkle’s maintenance department, as the appropriations provide, but it is | alleged that commissioners told ' Manlove to carry on just as he has in the past. System, or lack of it. is blamed i for the present state of affairs in I the department accounts and remedy is being sought by the installs- ; tion of an accounting department with Ralph E. Simpson as chief | clerk. j George G. Clark of the federal i bureau of roads was here today to j talk to the commissioners on acJ counting when they return to consider the board of accounts recom-. mendations. They are expected late j this afternoon, having gone to Noblesville early this morning. $15,000 DAMAGES GIVEN Bu I'nilcd Press COLUMBUS. Jan.

WOMEN ARE AVID AUTO SHOW FANS

Outnumber Men in Viewing Annual Exhibition of New Models. Bn United 'Press NEW YORK. Jan. B.— Attendance of large numbers of women is one of the outstanding features of the thirtieth annual national automobile show, motor experts agreed today. Not only are they crowding the Grand Central Palace in numbers exceeding the men at most times of day, but their examinations of the scores of new models are said to be more searching than those of men accompanying them. Beautiful exteriors and new refinements of upholstering and other interior details have their feminine appeal, of course, but the women also demand details regarding engines, brakes and other important mechanical considerations. It was noted, too, that the trend of the women motorists’ taste seems ! to be toward subdued colors and j harmonizing blends, rather than i brilliant finishes. Today was designated as Army ; and Navy day at the show and commanding officers stationed in and around New York inspected new models. Tuesday officials of j surrounding cities were guests, along with more than one hundred delegates from thirty-five foreign countries. Interest in the display of parts, i accessories and shop equipment is high, attendance breaking all records. More than 3.000 jobbers, denlers and trade representatives visited these exhibits Tuesday.

INVALID SECTION DISCOVERED IN PRIMARY LAW Election Commission Finds 1929 Act and Title Do Not Coincide. Invalidity of tliat section of the 1929 primary law providing for election of alternate delegates to state conventions has been discovered by the state board of election commissioners. - The fault lies in that the title of the act does not coincide with the body of the law, automatically invalidating the alternate provision. Election of alternate delegates to party political conventions was advocated in the legislature as a means of minimizing machine rule. Under the present system, a delegate may give his proxy to another, and, in this manner, many legally elected delegates have been prevailed upon to permit machine picked proxies to attend the convention. This was pointed out in the legislature by State Senator William F. Hedges, who framed the measure. Hodges said that with the nomination of Governor and senator placed in the convention, a safeguard against hand-picked proxies became imperative. The same amendatory law, Chapter 68 of the 1929 Statutes provides for nomination of Governor and United State senator in convention. Attorney-General James M. Ogden today said that the incorrect title does not invalidate the remainder of the statute. If the Hedges amendment had stood, it would have doubled the number attending both state conventions. Instead of 1,900 delegates attending the Republican convention there would have been 3,800. SENTENCED FOR THEFT William F. Stewart, 33, Oklahoma City, jtoday was sentenced to serve one to ten years at the Indiana state prison after he was convicted by Criminal Judge James A.

He Has ‘Those’ Bu X nited Press CHICAGO, Jan. B.—There is something about Carl E. Wiegand, 29-year-old salesman, that appeals to women. They propose at random. One proposal of marriage landed him in jail and another got him out. It was thus: His refusal of Miss Grace Tomlinson’s suit was so abrupt she had him arrested on a charge of beating her.

HOOVER LINKED TO PRICE PROBE Cuban Sugar Interests Had ‘Approach,’ Is Claim. Bit United Press WASHINGTON. Jan. B.—Cuban sugar interests desirous of a low j tariff on sugar claimed to have a i “personal method of approach” to President Hoover, evidence submitted to the senate lobby investigating committee today disclosed.

Pike replied he saw nothing wrong with his letter or any of his other activities in connection with the sugar tariff. Earlierj'Pike had testified that the Hershey Corporation and the CocaCola Company had agreed to spend $50,090 to prevent the sugar tariff ! from being increased. Most of this I money, Pike said, went to William H. Baldwin, New York publicity ! man, who testified Tuesday.

This is the third project grouping for which bids for the 1930 season will have been received, according to Director John J. Brown. With this award the total under contract for the coming season will be 245 miles. Plans are made to pave 500 miles Brown said. Com-* missioners pointed out that this letting will put the highway program four months in advance of the 1929 and seven in advance of 1928. Projects advertised in the new letting are as follows: Road 43—Brookston south six and sixtenths miles, in White and Tippecanoe counties, to connect with pavement built last year. Roads 24 to 30—Ft. Wayne to N w Haven, tour miles in Allen county. Following the commission's policy to widen pavement at the edge of larger cities to relieve traffic congestion, three miles of this project will be thirty-two feet wide. Rd 7—Wirt to North Vernon, sixtfrn and five-tenths miles in Jefferson and Jennings counties. This road is pa'ed from Wirt to Madison. This is one short route from Indianapolis to Clity Fall state park, and Road 7 connects at North Vernon with Road 50, pavement on which will be completed this year between Seymour and Cincinnati. Road 43—Brookston to the Pula <kl county line, twelve miles in which and Pulaski counties. Road 54. Sullivan east to the Greene county line, nine miles in Sullivan county.
