THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

REBEL HINDUS TO START DRIVE AGAINSTTAXES Projected Campaign to Carry More Weight Than Any Other Action. Following if another of the series of articles on India by Webb Miller, European news manager of the United Press, who flew from London to India when the Independence movement grew serious to study the situation at first hand. BY WEBB MILLER United Press Staff Correspondent (World Copyright, 1930. by United Press) KARACHI, India, May 14.—The business life of India is feeling the effects of the Swaraj campaign—the movement for self-government—in-creasingly heavy. Some responsible quarters estimate it has affected the foreign cloth industry 40 per cent and in certain sections large numbers of contracts with foreign firms have been canceled and orders broken. The United States is benefiting to a certain extent in some lines. For instance, dealers in this region have boycotted British motor tires and rushed to purchase American, stipulating there must be none from Canadian factories, but must be markea "made in America.” Frequent hartals —religious strikes —are closing shops, banks and disorganizing business. Tax Campaign Nears Increasing indications are that the Swarajists are preparing as their next step in the disobedience campaign to embark upon a campaign against payment of land taxes —A weapon hitherto held in reserve. Inasmuch as the land tax is the principal tax supporting the government of India, such a campaign, if it has anv degree of success, would be far more serious than the present salt, liquor and cloth campaigns. Abbas Tyabji, former chief justice, who started to carry on Mahatma Gandhi’s project with a raid on a salt works, made a speech at Bardoli, before his arrest, plainly indicating that a refusal to pay land taxes was the next step in the minds of the Swarajists. Bloodshed Is Feared The principal weapons used in this most remarkable experiment in political revolution are boycotts and mass disobedience to certain selected laws. Apparently, the Swarajists are making no effort whatever to secure arms, on which the government exercises the strictest control to prevent their import. Whatever violent outbreaks have

Should Be Gray By Science Service BERLIN, May 14.—A 1.200-year-old beard is the unusual find made in an ancient grave accidentally uncovered by ditch-diggers near the town of Lorrach in Baden. The workers came upon several burials, one of which was protected in a coffin made of rough sandstone slabs. This latter, when opened by Dr. Georg Kraft, of the University of Freiburg in Breisgau, disclosed the somewhat decomposed skeleton of a man about forty years old, with a matted triangle of wavy, redbrown hair where the chin once had been. The beard has a curious shape, being pointed but longer on one side than on the other.

occurred are in direct disobedience to instructions from Gandhi or other Swarajist leaders. Naturally, there is a great difference of opinion whether the nonviolent experiment can succeed. The Swaraj leaders, however, are confident the combination of the boycott and civil disobedience will fore j the government to make concessions within a few months. Although a similar method of non-violent rebellion was attempted ten years ago, this is the first time anything like it has occurred on such a scale and with such magnitude. Despite the reiterated policy of avoidance of violence, the national congress at present is organizing forces which the government and moderates in the Swaraj movement fear eventually will result in more bloodshed, CHINESE WIN VICTORY By United Press SHANGHAI, China, May 14.—The National government at Nanking announced today that the so-called northern armies of Marshal Yen Hsi-Shan, governor of Shansi, had been defeated at Puchow. The announcement said 10,000 prisoners were captured.

YOUTH QUIZZED IN CAR DEATH; SEEK CANADIAN Kentuckian Admits Being Passenger in Sedan Which Hit Truck. Captured by H. H. Terrell, Beech Grove marshal, walking on State Road 29, six miles north of Shelby- - ville, early today, James Wright, 19, Mansville, Ky„ was being questioned here this afternoon in connection with the death of Andre De Boer, 41, Beech Grove, from injuries in an auto accident at Churchman avenue and Wade street Tuesday. Wright is said to have confessed he was a passenger in a sedan driven by Gordon Anderson, Windsor, Ontario, which crashed into De Boer’s milk truck, throwing him across a ditch and into a field. Anderson left Indianapolis for Detroit after hearing of De Boer’s death, Wright said.
