CITY PLEA FOR MORE GAS TAX NEAR SUCCESS Larger Share of Fund to Be Alloted If Bill Is Passed. Indianapolis appeared to have uon its fight for a larger share of the gas tax find auto license fund today as the house of representatives prepared for final action on the fund redistribution bill. Under an amendment passed on Tuesday afternoon in the house ,the city’s share in the $25,000,000 fund ■would be more than doubled and Marion county’s share would be reduced. In the hottest fight staged in the house during the special session, representatives from cities and rural districts clashed as cities sought to obtain larger shares. Sponsored by the entire Marion county delegation, the amendment would permit the county to distribute its share at its discretion. The amendment does not apply to other cities. More for Indianapolis It provides that Indianapolis shall receive one-third of the county’s share. The bill stipulated that the state shall receive 50 per cent of the fund as compared to its present share of 75 per cent. Os the remaining 50 per cent, according to the bill, cities would receive one-fifth and counties the rem.iining four-fifths. One-eighth of the four-fifths would be distributed according to populations, and the remaining seven-eighths according to road mileage. Indianapolis is the only city whose shares will be increased Under the amendment. Deserts Other Cities Several members of the Marion county delegation appeared to have deserted the fight of all cities for a larger share, after passage of the mendment for Indianapolis. It had been indicated at hearings that cities would "stick together,” in the fight to reduce share of rural section. Representative Albert Walsman (Dem.), Indianapolis, backer of the amendment, voted against another amendment which would have given all cities a one-third share in the fund. After introduction of the amendment, the fight began when Delpli McKesson, Plymouth, Democratic floor leader, charged that Indianapolis had, in the past, wasted its share of the fund and that its proportion should not be increased. He attempted to "steam roller” the bill to engrossment after the Indianapolis amendment had been passed, prohibiting possibility of another amendment increasing shares of all cities. Handout Is Charged Representative John M. Cantley (Dem.), Logansport, charged city representatives with seeking a “handout.” “Well, if you're going to redistribute this tax, do it with some semblance of equity,” retorted, iTHßßff'irinrnrTiiirnmwMMiMi

JOAN BLONDELL IS NURSE IN NEW FILM I Elizabeth Patterson and John Wray, Both Former Members of Stuart Walker’s Company, Are in Movie Cast. JOAN BLONDELLS favorite author is Mary Roberts Rinehart. Not because she is being starred in Mrs. Rinehart’s newest mystery story, "Miss Pinkerton." which opens Friday at the Indiana, but because she has read "The Bat” and almost everything else the noted authoress has written and because she has finally met her in person and thinks she "is a great scout.” "I am sure that in the hour I spent with Mrs. Rinehart I got more help in understanding the nurse I portray in 'Miss Pinkerton’ on the screen than I possibly could have in a lifetime,” Joan Blondell declared after a luncheon engagement with her.

"There wasn’t any doubt in my mind after Mrs. Rinehart had talked for five minutes. How she can outline a character! It made me eager to give my best screen performance.” Before the two women parted, Mary Roberts Rinehart promised Joan Blondell that she would break her rule against seeing pictures of her own stories by going to see “Miss Pinkerton.” The film’s plot tells of a clever nurse who is called by the police to take care of an elderly woman who is prostrated by the sudden shooting to death of her nephew. It is next known at first whether the death was an accident, suicide or a murder and there is a matter of SIOO,OOO insurance involved. The nurse observes many things which finally lead to the unravelling of the mystery. Before it is solved, however, there is a second murder as well as attempts made on the lives of two other persons—including the nurse. George Brent supplies the romantic interest as the police inspector who falls in love with the nurse. John Wray and Elizabeth Patterson are other important members of the supporting cast of players. n tt v Indianapolis theaters today offer: “Make Me a Star” at the Circle, “Lady and Gent” at the Indiana, “Washington Masquerade.” at the Palace, "Winner Take All” at the Apollo, and Frank Libuse at the Lyric. | Jacob Weiss (Dem.), Indianapolis. Representative John C. Ellyson (Dem.), Gary, argued that cities now are receiving only a fraction of what they actually pay into the fund. To McKesson's charge that In- ! dianapolis had “wasted” its share | in the past, Weiss accused him of attempting to "impugn” the motives of the Marion county delegation. "I impugned no one’s motives and if you object to my statements, make your objections specifically,” McKesson answered. Representative E. Curtis White (Dem.) of Indianapolis, told the house that increasing the city’s share would enable the city to employ hundreds for street improvement projects.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

WRIGHT HARDLY WOULD KNOW HIS OWN LAW House Wets Amend Weiss Bill Leagilzing Sale of Medicinal Whisky. The Wright bone dry law will look like a piece of Swiss cheese if the general assembly passes the Weiss substitute measure, which was amended in the house of representatives Tuesday afternoon and kept on second reading so members would have opportunity to study it. House wets strengthened their lines and met the objections of the less liberal when they amended the Weiss bill to provide for liquor law enforcement, but knocked out the obnoxious features of the Wright law. The Weiss bill repeals the Wright law, legalizes the sale of medicinal whisky with a tax of 50 cents a pint; reduces the fee of the prosecutor in liquor law convictions from $25 to $5 and the fines for drunkenness from $lO to SIOO to $1 to SSO. Other penalties are slashed approximately 90 per cent. Penalties for drunken driving are the same as in the Wright law, as are the sections referring to common nuisances and officers failing to enforce the law. The following sections are killed by the ' eiss bill: It is unlawful to possess a still, providing penalties for transportation of liquor; making it illegal to advertise liquor; and the section conferring police authority upon conductors of public conveyances.
