INCOME TAX IS SPURRED ON AS LAST 'BIG' BILL Move to Pass Measure and Adjourn Legislature This Week. The income tax question will hold the center of the legislative stage Friday with a movement afoot to pass the bill as a tax relief measure and adjourn the special session this week. Representative Delph L. McKesson of Plymouth. Democratic house, floor leader, said he will ask for appointment of a committee Friday to inform the senate that the house has transacted its relief legislation and is ready to adjourn. Move Fought by Bush Lieutenant-Governor Edgar Bush condemned the effort being made to adjourn the special session. The move was brought out in the open by Representative Delph L. McKesson, Plymouth. Democratic floor leader in the house. He said he would try and call a halt sine die Saturday. "I want to say that we should not adjourn until the full forty days are finished and we have done our job. Bush said in opening the senate this morning. ‘‘This session will go down in history as the greatest ever for relief of the taxpayers if those selfish interest. fostering this movement to adjourn, do not meet with success. Last Major Relief BUI It appeared that the income tax bill, providing a 3 per cent tax on corporations and a 1 to 4 per <Jpnt tax on individual incomes will be the last major relief bill before the assembly. The measure was scheduled for a vote Wednesday afternoon, but the governor's demand for a SIOO,OOO appropriation to send troops to the Terre Haute mine strife area caused delay. Earlier in the day, the house had delayed a final vote on the bus tax bill when its opponents, suspecting its provisions after repeated amendments, demanded it be printed and laid on their desks for study. The bill would place a tax of one mill a ton mile on every truck or bus traveling more than thirty-five miles from iss base. It would exclude privateiy-owned trucks hauling property of the owner. Await House Action The small home owner whose taxes have fallen delinquent would be relieved of heavy penalties under the Nejdl bill passed Wednesday by the senate and aw r aiting house action. The bill stipulates that the county can not sell property for delinquent taxes, and that the owner shall not pay more than 7 per cent penalty. Penalties now are as high as 20 per cent. After vigorous debate on the floor Wednesday, the house killed two bills which would have reduced salaries of Marion county judges and court attaches. The general salary cut bill passed last week by the legislature included pay of the judges and employes, it was pointed out. NEW7WIDE 16TH ST.

JOIN IN WAR ON TRUCK TAX BILL Indiana Bakers on Record Against Measure. Two new sources of opposition entered the fray Wednesday against placing trucks and trucking companies under supervision of the public service commission in bill 701 in | the house of representatives. Indiana Bakers' Association, meet- ; ing in thp Claypool, adopted a reso- ! lution opposing the bill, and also | went on record against the Hoffman ; bill, which would establish a sales ' tax. Charles P. Ehlers, secretary of the association, spoke against the 1 measures. Ward B. Hiner. Liberty party candidate for Governor, stated the peo- | pie of the state would realize no saving by passage of the truck regulation measure. "This law w'ould not change conditions except that it would bar the | small truck operator and place a heavy burden on the farmers, who would have to pay this tax out of their own pockets,” he said. Hiner charged the measure is supported by railroad interests with which truck operators are competing. ROWLEY IS SOOTHED Resignation as Chairman of Committee Refused.

Penalty for Advocating Insurance and Old Age Pensions, Is Claim. Denial of poor relief is the price j being paid lor free speech, leader- ; ship of the unemployed and ad- | vocacy of such measures as unemployment insurance and old age J pensions, it was charged today. The charge was made by William i Ayers. R. R. 14, Box 242 C, uriemj ployed candidate for attorney-gen- : eral of Indiana, who has a wife r.nd ' four children. Ayers cites the following letter date July 29. and signed by Mrs. I Maggie S. Maxwell, Washington township trustee; “Inasmuch as your public state- ! ments have been agitating opposij tion to this form of relief, we are discontinuing our help to you. You need not report for work next week.” According to Ayers, he was told I by Mrs. Maxwell that he was de- ! nied food baskets in exchange for | work because he has an automobile I and enjoys "other luxuries.” "The automobile is mortgaged," | Ayers declared today. “With full knowledge of the trustee and the ; foreman on made work, I have driven the car because I live at considerable distance from the work. The car has been used often to take other men to work. As to luxuries, I have no electric lights in my home. They were cut off three i months ago.” A few weeks ago Ayers, as a candidate for office, made a speech in Broad Ripple, attacking the food basket relief system and urging the establishment of unemployment insurance. He was taken to task because of the speech, by the made work foreman, he asserts. “One by one they are picking off those who are leaders of the unemployed,” Ayers asserted.

FARMER GETS LIFE TERM FOR GIRL'S MURDER Killed Maid for Scorning Hug, He Admits, in Pleading Guilty. By Vntlrd Prat LUDINGTON. Mich.. Aug. 4. Francis Nash, 32, Freesoil farmer, today pleaded guilty to first degree murder in connection with the killing of 7-year-old Evelyn Sanford last Saturday night, and was sentenced to life imprisonment at Marquette penitentiary. Captain Earl J. Hathaway and a detachment of state police troopers planned to take Nash to prison im- j mediately. The girl’s body was found buried in a shallow grave in an abandoned summer cottage at Freesoil Wednes- j day. Nash confessed the murder Wednesday night. "I met her on the road near my house Saturday night. I tried to hug her as I passed her. She slapped me,” said Nash, in confess- j ing. “I lost my head. I guess. I struck her in the neck with my fist and she fell to the pavement, heavy. She didn't make a sound, and i got scared. I had to get her out of the way.” Avoid Lynching Danger The officers had brought Nash here from Manistee late Wednesday to avoid danger of mob action, after it became known that the girl’s body had been found in the cottage where Nash was caretaker. Nash said he had known the girl several years. He lived about onehalf mile from Freesoil, alone, between her home and that village. He denied that he had criminally attacked her. Evelyn came walking home down the lonely paved road, not far from the dismal swamp where strands of her hair later were found, Nash said, when he met her. After the girl fell. Nash said, he rilled the body down an embankment he went to a neighbor's house and got a two-wheel cart. Tied Line About Neck Returning, Nash tied a fishing line about Evelyn’s neck, to prevent any outcry, fastened her hands behind her and dumped the body into the cart. He wheeled it to the cottage. "When I got her down in the basement,” Nash's confession continued, "I felt her pulse and listened to see if she was breathing. I was shaking. She didn’t seem to be alive. So I dug a hole in the fruit cellar and covered her up.” Corporal Munger and Harold Pfeiffer, a Manistee newspaper man, found the body shortly after neon Wednesday, about a foot and a half under the surface. Thieves Loot Store in Fire Thieves who worked early today during a fire in the pharmacy of Charles O’Haver, 371 West Twentyeighth street, stole cigarets and cigars valued at $lO. Damage to the building is estimated at SSO, while the store’s stock was damaged by smoke.
