SINISTER HINTS LINK LESLIE TO BUS TAX BILL Railroad Lobby Measure Is Target of Bitter Senate Attacks. Final round in the hard-fought battle of the railroads against the trucks is scheduled for the senate today. After accepting several amendments. which changed the railtoads bill, senators ordered it reprinted and put on final passage. Several proposed amendments were turned down as the bill occupied the attention of the senate on secono reading Thursday afternoon. The measure is said to be one of the reasons why Governor Harry G. Leslie called the special session in mid-summer, after having announced an adamant stand against the call unless a concrete program of legislation had been agreed upon. Henry Marshall, Lafayette publisher and Leslie mentor, is a director of the Monon railroad.

Talked for High Post Many sinister surmises have been made regarding the pressure brought to bear for prompt passage of the bill, which came from the roads committee “without recommendation.” This was comparable to a favorable report. Senator John C. Sherwood (Rep.), Mitchell, is chairman of the roads committee. There is talk of his being considered for a position on the public service commission. Under provisions of the bill, as it came from the house, the public service commission would be given jurisdiction over all trucks and busses operating as common carriers and a ton-mile tax of 1 mill would be levied on them. Efforts of the railroad lobby, which consists of both ownership and labor, in behalf of the bill, were scored by Senator George W. Sims (Rep.), Terre Haute. Repeats Charge Later Pointing to Bert Byers, railroad lobbyist whose activities have been the source of much criticism this session, Sims charged that “it has been bragged around that Byers has SIIO,OOO to shove this bill through.” Later he repeated the charge and said that Ivan Morgan, Republican state chairman, had told him that he knew there was SBO,OOO available and “probably there is $110,000.” Most damaging amendment was put over Senator Alonzo H. Lindley (Rep.), Kingman, which strikes out the “saving clause.” Lindley pointed out that the bill exempts farmers and is therefore unconstitutional, in his opinion. Should the saving clause be left In the bill and the courts strike out the farmer exemptions, every farmer with a truck would be taxed and regulated by the public service commission, he said.

FOREST FIREJ.OSS CUT Acreage Burned Over This Year Is Only Fifth of 1931 Total. By Scrlpps-H.oward Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.—The year 1932 may go down in the history of the United States forest service as setting an all-time record in efficient prevention of forest fires. Up to July 31, 1931, 251,000 acres of national forest land had been burned over, in spite of the best efforts of the forest service. This year, at the end of July, only 54,000 acres had been lost. Last year it was necessary for the federal government to spend SBBB,000 fighting fires before Aug. 1. This year it has spent only $195,000.

Crippled Hitch-Hiker, 92, on Way East, Collapses

Walks Only Half-Mile in 18-Day Journey From Seattle. Tottering with the infirmities of 92 years, and unable to walk without the aid of crutches, Walter O'Brien, hitchhiker, is being cared for today by the Volunteers of America after walking only a half mile since he left Seattle, Wash., eighteen days ago. O'Brien collapsed in Speedway City Thursday. He says his left side apparently is partly paralyzed. He is bound for Wheeling, W. Va., to the home of a niece, Mrs. Bertha Feldenhauer. She has been advised of his plight, and if she is unable to pay his fare to Wheeling, it will be provided by the Volunteers of America. The aged man, graduated from Georgetown university in 1874, is a landscape artist and also has been engaged in the lumber and hardware business in Seattle. “Years ago,” he said today, “a mans’ word was as good as his bond. There were no bank failures, no interest. “We kept our money in tin boxes. If a man wanted to borrow SIOO, we just opened the box and gave it to him. If he couldn’t pay when he promised, he came to us and explained why.” Once well-to-do, O’Brien said his fortune disappeared due to investing in bad securities and signing bad notes. Six months ago he fell, spraining an ankle and tearing ligaments. Since then he has been forced to use crutches. His mother died at the age of 101, his father at 98, O'Brien said. He has smoked a pipe since he

was 9, and permission to smoke was the first thing he asked after sitting for a photographer. “Guess I look like a Bolshevik,” O’Brien remarked, “and I sure don’t feel like any Rose of Killarney.” Motorists and other persons he met on the long trail from Seattle to Indianapolis were very considerate, O’Brien said, in explaining he walked only a half mile.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

JOBLESS PERIL PROPERTY, IS OWNEITCCLAIM Confiscation Charged by Landlord; Aid Needed, He Asserts. Charges that unemployed are confiscating property of Indianapolis landlords were made today by Frank Swonger, 1101 East Ohio street, owner of properties in the 800 block, Coffey street, one of which is occupied by persons who, it is alleged, have refused to move. The residence at 826 Coffey street is being used by the family of James Evans. There are six children in the family and, according to Swonger, attempts at eviction have failed and authorities fear to put them out. Swonger said several men always are near the place and, although an eviction suit has been filed, the family still remains. “Owners of property in Indianapolis who have worked hard to buy
