REGISTRATION LAW COST MAY HIKE TAX RATE Boost of 1 Cent in Marion County Levy May Be Result. Cost of carrying out provisions of the 1933 statute for permanent registration of voters probably will result in an increase of 1 cent in the 1934 tax levy, in Marion county, it was predicted today. Plans for setting up the machinery necessary for the registration were discussed at a meeting of county officials, who made no attempt to conceal their disapproval of the new law. The three county commissioners, Thomas H. Ellis, Ernest Marker and Dow Vorhies, County Clerk Glenn Ralston, County Auditor Charles A. Grossart, and his chief deputy, F. W. Biemer, attended the session. All Voters Mu-t Register Unofficially, the estimate of the initial cost of filing equipment and registration was placed at $60,000. In succeeding years, it is expected that the cost of keeping records up to date will be approximately $6,000. The law, which was backed in the legislature by the League of Women Voters, fixes Jan. 15, 1934, as the first, date for registration. Under the law, each voter will be recorded by the county clerk and will not b° permitted to vote unless qualified by legal registration. Changes will be kept up to date as voters move from addresses and precincts. Chief objection to the law as voiced was the expense entailed. A week ago it was predicted that at least 10 cents would have to be added to the 1934 county levy. A SIOO,OOO deficit and payment of old age pensions, plus poor relief and regular election expense were cited as reasons for the anticipated tax rate increase. Regarded as Mandatory On the present assessment ratio, each $65,000 of revenue represents a 1-cent tax levy, leading to the prediction that the expense of registration will result, in the levy rise. Wording of the registration law that “the council shall make an appropriation'' i K regarded as mandatory and in a sense smoothing the way of the officials with the council, which already has given warning that little increase in the levy will be approved. GOLF CLUB IS ROBBED Halls Valued at More Than S4O Are Stolen at Coffin. Breaking into the clubhouse at the Coffin golf course early today by prying open a window, burglars stole golf balls valued at more than S4O This was the fourth golf club burglarly in a week.

A. F. Miles Named Chief of Indiana Reformatory

Penal Institutions Shakeup by Governor Brings Reappointment. Monday will be “home-coming day" for A. F. Miles, 2833 North Talbot street. For he will return to his former position as superintendent of the Indiana state reformatory at Pendleton. With the reformatory since 1904, was removed from the superintendency in 1931 by Governor Harry G. Leslie. He is a Democrat. Governor Paul V. McNutt announced reappointment of Miles at the reformatory after returning Ralph Howard to the superintendenev of the Indiana state farm where he had seventeen years service. Both changes are scheduled for Monday. Howard is a Republican. The Governor said he was returning him to the farm to remedy conditions there, such as are being exposed in The Times. Howard was sent to Pendleton when Miles was ousted. He was succeeded at the farm by Clifford W. Craig, former chief clerk at the Indiana state prison. Craig has been ill for months and is now at the Rockville sanitarium. Although relieved from the farm superintendency, he will continue a state employe, the Governor asserted. Tribute to the efficiency in management of penal institutions was paid both Howard and Miles by McNutt. Howard has had thirty years service in state institutions.

YEGGS RANSACK LOCKCUAFES Thieves Get Undetermined Amount of Loot in Robbery. Battering combinations off three safes, yeggmen succeeded in opening two of them Wednesday night at the Keyless Lock Company, 1401 Newman street, and escaped with an undeter mined amount of money. Company officials said they could not estimate the loss until they check the safes' contents after detectives examine them for clews. A cash box taken from one safe was rifled of approximately $l5O and valuable insurance papers strewn about the basement. The burglars jimmied their way through two doors. The safe which resisted their efforts contained little of value, according to Arthur R. Baxter, 3110 North Meridian street, the company treasurer, who discovered the burglary this morning. COUNTY INTEREST FEE MAY BE INCREASED Efforts Will Be Made to Sell Bonds at 6 Per Cent.

A meeting of the county council will be held July 20 and 21, at which Gossart wall seek permission to offer loan bonds with a 6 per cent interest rate. Grossart called the council meeting after a previously authorized $350,000 issue at 5 per cent interest, needed to defray expenses until .all tax collections, was snubbed by buyers.

JULEP EXPERT ACCEPTS DARE BY IRVIN COBR Eddie of the Astor to Meet Kentuckian “Two Falls to Finish’ in Contest. BY H. ALIEN SMITH Inited Fress Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, July 13.—Eddie of the Astor, one of New York's most famous pre-war bartenders, has accepted the challenge of Irvin S. Cobb for a mint julep mixing contest, to be held in the Cobb residence, two falls to a finish, this reporter to furnish the mint. The contest will be judged by Heywood Broun and will be held at an indefinite time one day this week bcause, as Cobb puts it, “ I read in the paper where it's against the law to mix mint juleps, except for scientific purposes, and with Broun as judge there won’t be any science about it. You can say that I am in the pink of condition.” In the pre-battle statement, issued exclusively to the United Press, Eddie of the Astor said: ‘“I will win hands down. Tell Mr. Cobb to have some French brandy on hand.” Mencken Too Busy to Judge Informed of this request, Cobb snorted: ‘‘Brandy! He's licked before he starts. Putting brandy in a mint julep is like putting ketchup in iced tea. You're going to see old Kentucky triumph, as only old Kentucky can triumph. Bring mint.” H. L. Mencken, the Baltimore sage, was to have been one of the judges but he announced, with a throb in his voice, that he has to leave New York for home today “to ! witness a hanging of a man who puts bourbon whisky in mint juleps.” “In Maryland,” Mencken said, “we use rye whisky. Bourbon puts too much meat on the consumer. Look at Cobb. He would butcher better than I would. If we had cannibalism in this country he would fetch at least six dollars more than me.” Scores Denounce Cobb Mencken said that the original mint julep was developed in the i tidewater district around the Chesai peake bay and was mixed with brandj'. Various states devised their own methods, however, using whisky exclusively, because brandy is too expensive. Cobb revealed that since the mint julep controversy arose, and since he denounced all forms of julep except those concocted in Kentucky, he has received scores of letters | from all over the country, most of them denouncing him as a shyster, j a drinker of sheep dip, an alchemI ist, and a dope. Most of the letters were in defense of the Maryland, Georgia, Louisiana and Virginia brands of mint julep. Broun accepted the job of judging the contest with some trepidation. “I don’t know a thing about mint juleps,” he said, “but I’ll be able to tell which one tastes best and which one has the more effective wallop. The only mint juleps I ever drank were made out of gin and I ginger ale. with a couple of cubes | of ice thrown in. ( “However, I shall go into inten-

SPUR REPEAL BALLOT HOPE IN OKLAHOMA Lower House of Assembly Passes Election Bill as Beer Flods Floor. BY GEORGE B. ROSCOE l nited Press StafY Correspondent OKLAHOMA CITY, July 13. Members of the Oklahoma house of representatives, between long drinks of legal beer, late Wednesday passed a bill to set up machinery for a vote on repeal of the eighteenth amendment. Bottles aloft, as if toasting an honored guest, sixty-two members of the house shouted their “ayes.” The measure, if approved by the senate and Governor W. H. (Alfalfa Bill) Murray, would give Oklahomans the chance to vote late in De- : cember or early in January on the j repeal question. The beer, several cases of it. was i distributed both in senate and house | a few hours after Governor Murray proclaimed results of Tuesday's election legalizing the beverage. ( Opposition to the repeal election

measure was meager, only twenty- ' five members voting against it. and observers pred.cted its passage by the senate, which receives it today. Representative Robert Graham. No 1 beer advocate, acted as waiter in the house, pa-ssing out the bottles as house clerks called the roll. DETAIN TWO CITY BOYS Pair of I.ads Held at Brookville. Pending Answer.
