THREATENS SUIT IN BATTLE OVER TOY GOLF LINKS Board Denies Land Owner Right to Build Course on Boulevard. Legal action to force city park commissioners to permit construction of a pltch-and-putt golf course on Kessler boulevard near Meridian street was being contemplated today by Dr. H. H. Wheeler, owner of the ground. After a verbal combat with the board Thursday afternoon, Wheeler was voted down in a petition to erect the course. Jackiel Joseph, board member, told him the board passed a general ruling several weeks ago, denying business enterprises to be established along the boulevard. Wheeler said he was familiar with the boulevard program for the last ten years “but had never heard of that ruling before.” Petition of Logan J. Smith, to operate school busses on boulevards was taken under advisement. Smith WBS threatened with arrest by the board two weeks ago when his Technical and Shortridge high school and Butler university busses were using boulevards. The board turned over five acres in front of the James Whitcomb Riley Hospital for Children to trustees of Indiana university who will landscape the tract. This will be done as part of the beautification program of the university medical center.

Wingless Airship Built in Secret

Here's the heavier-than-air, all-metal ship which is reported actually to have flown in private tests off Mamaroneck, N. Y. Secretly built aboard a barge by six men who have lived the lives of hermits during its construction, the revolutionary craft, which is said to operate on the same principle as the Flettner rotor ship, has been designed to eclipse the present type of flying machine.

KAYE DON WILL WED British Speed Driver and New York Girl to Marry. Bn United press LONDON, Sept. 19.—Kaye Don, the British automobile speed driver, and Miss Florence Koban, daughter of the New York financier, J. W. Hoban, will be married, it was announced today. The couple met on a ship when Don was returning here from Daytona Beach, where he made several unsuccessful attempts to break the world’s auto speed mark.

Note the spool-like rotor on the right side of the ship; it adapts, for flying purposes, the phenomenon of changing the direction of the air pressure and currents. A motor in the nose of the craft supplies traction through a three-bladed propeller. Except for the absence of wings, the machine resembles a seaplane.

RAILROAD LOSES ON $25,000 SUIT POINT

Ordered to Produce List of Stockholders in Subsidy Case. Bit Times Special WABASH, lnd„ Sept. 19.—1 none of two $25,000 suits pending against the Big Four railroad in which taxpayers are plaintiffs, the railroad has lost a point through court order that it must provide a list of stockholders in the former C, M. & W. line, which it took over. The case in which the railroad lost the point is the one in which John Hipskind, a. taxpayer here and former Wabash city council member, is plaintiff. Recovery of $25,000 is sought. To obtain a guarantee that repair shops for the Michigan division of the railroad would always be maintained here, the city of Wabash paid the company $25,000. The same amount was paid by Noble township, in which Wabash is situated. The township has a suit similar to Hipskind’s pending. In each case it is allleged there was a breach of contract when the railroad moved the shops to Indianapolis. The railroad contends that the C., M. & W. was defunct and mortgages on it foreclosed at the time Short Changers Lose Bu Prrz* MARTINSVILLE, Ind., Sept. 19. —H. K. Brown, hardware dealer, was $lO richer after two strangers attempted to confuse him when they asked for change after making a purchase in his store. The strangers made several small purchases and presented $lO and S2O bills in payment. They asked to have the bills changed in various denominations. Brown became suspicious, called for the police and the men ran, leaving the $lO bill. Kidnaping Robbery Probed Bn United Press ANDERSON, Ind., Sept. 19.—Officers here were investigating the story of Claude Stephenson, 19, Pendleton, that three men kidnaped him, took him into the country in an automobile, robbed him of a wrist watch, and left him stranded in a corn field.

the Big Four acquired it. Hipskind, however, charges that stockholders ir. both were identical and that the transfer of the C., M. & W. was for tha purpose of avoiding payment of obligations against it. After counsel for both sides presented these points, the court ordered the list of stockholders be produced.

COURTHOUSE IN NEW YORK COST ENORMOUS SUM Original $250,000 Is Increased Nearly $12,000,000 by Boss Tweed Ring. Bn United Press NEW YORK. Sept. 19.—One of the most interesting buildings in New York City is the county courthouse, which stands behind the city hall. Visitors to the city seldom give it more than a glance. From an architectural standpoint, a glance probably is all It deserves. But the story behind it is worth recounting. In the first place the county courthouse is a very ordinary looking structure. One is inclined to compare it to a bam, particularly because of its backyard proximity to the city hall. The courthouse stands as an enduring monument to the activities of the Tweed ring. It was built during that period when Boss Tweed ruled the roost. And in its construction Tweed and his compatriots reaped their greatest harvest. The original law calling for the construction of a courthouse was passed by the state legislature in 1862. It called for an expenditure of $250,000 for the building. Work started on it that year. Before the year was out Tweed's board of supervisors obtained authorization to raise SBOO,OOO more. The following year $600,000 more was put into the building and in 1870 another $600,000 was raised for it. In 1871 the Tweed men spent

an additional $750,000 on the structure. Eventually the courthouse cost $6,200,000 in state appropriations and $6,000,000 in city funds. In short, the building cost four times as much as the houses of parliament in London. Among the expenses incurred in furnishing the building was $675,000 for carpets. The bill for thermometers came to $7,500. Safes in the building cost $404,347, and $41,746 was spent for awnings, $41,190 for brooms and $2,676 for locks on the doors.
