PROMINENT CITY WOMEN JOIN IN REPEAL DEMAND Three Past Presidents of Junior League Aid State Group. Three past presidents of the Junior League are among the group of prominent Indianapolis women who will take steps toward founding the Indiana Women's Organization for National Prohibition Reform at a meeting In the Propylaeum. Fourteenth and Delaware streets, Thursday afternoon at 2. Mrs. Mary Sayles Moore, native of Indianapolis, but a resident of New York until recently, has returned here to direct state-wide organization efforts. The national organization, founded a year ago in New York, has a membership of 2,000 women, committed to repeal of the eighteenth amendment on the ground, their declaration of principles asserts, that national prohibition is fundamentally wrong, conflicts with the American principle of home rule, and has failed utterly to impose abstinence. “We are convinced that national prohibition, wrong in principle, has been equally disastrous in consequences,” the principles state, “in the hypocrisy, the corruption, the tragic loss of life and the appalling increase of crime which have attended the abortive attempt to enforce it.” Among those assisting Mrs. Moore in organization efforts here, are Mrs. Meredith Nicholson Jr., Mrs. Elias Atkins, Mrs. Sylvester Johnson and Mrs. Barrett Moxley. The latter three are Junior League past presidents. All women subscribing to the principles of the organization are invited to attend Friday’s meeting. The organization imposes no dues upon members. MUSICIANS THREATEN G. 0. P. WITH BOYCOTT Chicago Federation Angered by Use of “Canned Song.” Bu United Press CHICAGO, Oct. 15—Chicago musicians declared war today on the Republican party “for permitting the use of canned music” and threatened to go Democratic. James C. Petrillo, president of the Chicago Federation of Musicians, started the war by serving notice Tuesday night on all Chicago radio stations that: “The Chicago federation is about to place the Republican party of Cook county on the unfair list. This will mean that if any Republican candidates speak on the radio, the service of federation members will be withdrawn." Petrillo gave the radio stations until next Monday to comply with the demand. Meanwhile, the musicians dug into their own pockets to pay 1,000 bandsmen to parade in favor of Democratic candidates, who gained a march on the Republicans by signing up some time ago to use vrmly union musicians.

Mrs. Esther Kersey

He’s Noisy Lover in Trying to Win Affection of Indifferent Hen. The season opened today on prairie chicken, but Mrs. Esther Kersey, 5522 Guilford avenue, secretary to state entomologist Frank N. Wallace, may be affording you your only chance to see one. The nimrods who go gunning today for tympanuchus americanus will be “shooting up” some beautiful romances, if Frank N. Wallace, state entomologist, is correct in hLs description of prairie chicken courtships. “Early in the morning in sprng, the booming of males assembled on the scratching ground summons the hens from that territory to witness their extraordinary performance until the whole region re-echoes with the soft though powerful sound, more impressive to the human listener than to the apparently indifferent females,” says Wallace. “Inflating the loose yellow sacs on the sides of their head, that stand out like two oranges, the males present an imposing picture of pompous display and magnificence that melts not the flinty hearts of the coquetting spectators. “Now the proud cock, incited to nobler deeds by the indifference of his chosen sweetheart, rushes madly forward, letting the air out of his cheek sacs as he goes, to produce the booming noise, repeating the rush toward her and the boom until she gives some sign that his mad endeavors to win her, awaken some response in her cold little heart.” WOMAN IS BEATEN Charges Neighbor Resented Aid to Collector. Mrs. Hattie - Carvey, 51, of 624 East Allegheny street, today is in city hospital suffering from wounds, she told police, at the hands of John Curl, 620 Easts Court street, a neighbor.

BOARD ORDERS 2-CENT CUT IN CITY TAX LEVY Reduction Made in General Fund and Sanitary District Rate. Two-cent reduction in the Indianapolis city civil tax levy to SI.OB for 1931 was ordered by the state tax board today after final hearing on appeals of the Indiana Taxpayers’ Association against county, city, township and sanitary district rates. Indianapolis residents in Center township, embracing most of the city, will pay a total of $1,759 on each SIOO taxable as a result of the cut. * The 2-cent reduction was effected by slashing the general fund levy from 64 Vs cents to 63'/- cents, and the sanitary district levy from 6 to 5 cents. The 1930 sanitary district rate was 7 cents, and the civil city levy for the same year sl.lO. James Showalter, tax board chairman, said the reduction was ordered because city officials had not budgeted state gasoline tax receipts Indianapolis will share. Criticism of management of the city garbage plant based on requests for appropriations to operate the new dehydration plant was believed the reason for the sanitary district cut. The board sliced $82,000 from the budget, but the sanitary district still will spend sums in excess of its appropriaj tions for 1929.

HEIRESS FREE; POSSES RENEW KIDNAPER HUNT Millionaire’s Daughter Is Released After Auto Is Wrecked. Bu United Press GREENFIELD. Mo.. Oct 15. Bloodhounds led posses through the Ozark hills today, hunting the man who kidnaped Mrs. Alma Wilson McKinley, 24-year-old expectant mother, forced her to flee toward the mountains with him, and released her only when his automobile was wrecked and capture seemed near. Unharmed except for the shock and fatigue, Mrs. McKinley walked into Stockton, Mo„ twenty-six miles from here, Tuesday night after she had been freed, and warned that death awaited her wealthy father, herself and family if the search continued. The young woman’s appearance, however, touched off a wider hunt than the one conducted through southeast and central Missouri Tuesday. Threats of violence were heard as posses took the trail. Walks to Her Home Bloodhounds were taken to tho spot rear Jericho Springs, where the kidnaper’s automobile was wrecked, and the posses converged, spurred to their task by a $2,000 reward offered by Benton Wilson, millionaire father of Mrs. McKinley. Mrs. McKinley said she was released early Tuesday and walked into Stockton where she telephoned her father. Suffering from fright and fatigue from the long walk over the rough Ozark hills, Mrs. McKinley related her experiences in the Wilson home, where she and her mother were surprised by the armed kidnaper Monday night and the younger woman forced into her own automobile. “I saw only one of the men all the time I was away,” she said. "He talked about meeting some other men in the hills near Stockton. I was lost and don’t know exactly where we were. Threatened by Kidnaper “The kidnaper threatened me only once. That was when he let me go. He said he would kill me and murder my father if I told any one where we went or attempted to identify him. “Forcing me to drive my own car, the kidnaper first took me to Areola Then he took the wheel and drove west into the hills. Near Jericho Springs he hit a stump and wrecked the car. Then he forced me to walk about eight miles farther into the hills. Finally, he released me with the threats.” Officers heading the posses are convinced the kidnaper belonged to the same band that abducted Samuel Katz, wealthy Kansas City druggist, recently and forced him to pay SIOO,OOO for his release. GUNMAN IS SOUGHT Dud Cartridges Save Life of Menaced Man. A youth who twice attempted to fire a revolver at Clyde Vermillion, 801 South West street, Monday night, was sought today by police.
