COUNCIL TO GET TAXI MEASURE AGAIN MONDAY Passage of Ordinance Is Predicted for New Cab Proposal. Councilman William A. Oren predicted today that the controversial proposed taxicab ordinance probably would be passed at the city Council meeting Monday night. The ordinance, revised and amended by the Safety Committee, Is to be introduced for the fifth time. Committee members are Mr. Orden, Silas J. Carr, chairman; Mrs. Nanette Dowd, Ross Wallace and John Schumacher. Mr. Oren said that four of the five committee members had agreed upon the ordinance, which would require a vote of 5 to 4 for passage, if all council members are present. Limits Number of Cabs The proposed ordinance would provide financial protection for victims of accidents in w’hich the cab driver was negligent, permit more cabs, prevent cruising, revise license and changes fees, fix the number of taxi stands, hours of drivers and provide for regular inspection of cabs. If passed, the ordinance is to take the place of an ordinance enacted several years ago. At present, approximately 380 cabs are operated here by 10 companies. Based on the 1030 population figure, this- is one cab for approximately every 1300 persons. The proposed ordinance would permit one cab for every 1000 persons in the city. Another section provides that property damage insurance must be carried on all cabs in addition to public indemnity required for under the present ordinance. All companies would deposit SSOO with the City Contrloler to guarantee payment for property damage which may result from accidents due to negligence. Policies Would Be Required Another requirement would provide for a policy payable to the city for the benefit of persons who may suffer personal injury or death due to negligence in the operation of a cab. The policy would be SSOOO for one person and SIO,OOO for two piersons. The ordinance proposes a license fee of $36 for each cab. The present fee is SIOO for the first cab and S3O for each additional cab. Licenses would expire on June 30 of each year. Stands would be designated by the Safety Board subject to the Council’s approval. Another section would prohibit cruising, Safety Committee members say this provision would reduce the number of cabs. Companies which do not permit cruising are said to favor this section, which would allow drivers to obtain passengers only by a telephone call or a signal. Railways Have Complained The Indianapolis Railways, Inc., lias complained to the Council several times, charging that drivers obtained pa.ssengers by cruising on streets on which street cars and trackless trolleys were operated. Committee members said that under the proposed ordinance, the railway company might prosecute drivers violating this regulation. The ordinance also would provide that the city Inspector of weights and measures and the officer in charge of the traffic division of the police department make periodical inspections of cabs and meters. Drivers would not be permitted to operate cabs more than eight hours within an aggregate of 24 hours. The fares would be 15 cents for the first mile and one-half and 10 cents for each additional mile up to five and one-half miles, with a maximum fare of 55 cents for any point within the city. Cab company officials have been quoted as saying that 90 per cent of the trips fall within the 25-cent rate. Daily Record Required Drivers also would be required to keep a daily record of all calls, showing the number of passengers transported, the time and place where the passenger was secured, the destination, and the sex of the passenger. Any person violating any of the provisions of the proposed ordinance could be fined up to SIOO and imprisoned for a maximum of 30 ciuys. Thomas Tarpey, city inspector of weights and measures, said today that if the ordinance was passed his office would start an inspection of cabs and meters immediately.

SETBACKS HARD BLOW TO BORAH; DELAYCOSTLY But Bitterest Pill of All Is Possibility Hoover Will Get Call. BY THOMAS L. STOKES WASHINGTON, May 16.—Senator Borah of Idaho symbolizes today the man who waited too long. Perhaps the 70-vear-old leader looks back across the years to a younger man who could arouse the masses, to the time when Borah was a name to conjure with, and to lost opportunities. Whether he really wanted the presidential nomination, or whether he was interested chiefly in liberalizing the Republican Party, his failure to arouse the rank and file in Ohio seems to demonstrate finally that the prize is not within his reach and that he can do little at Cleveland about party principles and policies. He admitted as much, himself, when he delivered an attack here on “the men who are in control of the party, who will likely be in control of the convention, and will write its platform and name its candidate.” Beaten to the Punch Those words carry the germ of revolt. They lend support to forecasts that the Senator will at last bolt his party. That seems to be a good bet. No one ever has been able to predict Senator Borah with great success. Once a bolt by the Senator might have meant something to him personally. But a bolt would produce no earthquake. Others have beaten the Idaho Senator to this step. There are the elder statesmen, Senators Norris and Johnson, and the younger La Follette, who long ago came over to the New Deal. There are elements of raw tragedy in the fizzling of the Borah crusade. For years he has talked about the need for reorganizing the Republican Party, for wresting control from the Eastern G. O. P. oligarchy. Out of season, between elections, he has warred upon his party. In season, around election time, he always has remained regular. Beaten by Regulars Finally, this year, he decided to do something about it—and the most effective way, he figured, was to go into preferential primaries, rally the rank and file behind him, and collect enough delegates to back up his demands. What has happened? In New York, Illinois and Ohio, populous states which are always powerful in national conventions, he bumped his head against entrenched Republican organizations. He won preferential primaries, as the single candidate, in Nebraska, Pennsylvania and West Virginia, but someone else will get the delegates, with the lion’s share probably going to Gov. Alf M. Landon. He won Wisconsin and will have 22 of its 24 delegates, but he lost in South Dakota to Gov. Landon.

It’s All Bad News A clew to the Borah tragedy lies in the much larger vote President Roosevelt has polled wherever the Senator has been entered, which seems to mean—and the Idaho Senator so interprets it—that the type of voters he would attract now aro largely New Dealers. He never has been popular with regular organization Republicans. What probably stings him most in the Ohio defeat is the fact that it was accomplished by a remnant of the old Ohio gang largely embodied in National Committeeman Walter F. Brown. Mr. Brown, who helped nominate Herbert Hoover, is reported to be still for him. Also, he is closely allied with the Eastern G. O. P. Old Guard, and thus will get a toehold in the Cleveland convention. On top of the Hoover California victory, Mr. Brown's success will tend to add to the former President's influence. And that is not good news to Senator Borah. CAMPAIGN LAUNCHED TO BOOST RAILROADS Advertising to Be Used to Attract Passengers, Editors Told. A nation-wide campaign to popularize the railroads of the country was announced today by Holcomb Parkes of the Association of American Railroads. He told the American Railway Editors Association at the Lincoln yesterday that railroad officials realize they can best tell the story of advanced rail service in newspaper and periodical advertising. Representatives of 14 railroad magazines attended. Gov. Lehman’s Brother pies By United Press NEW YORK, May 16.—Arthur Lehman, brother of Gov. Herbert H. Lehman and senior partner in the banking firm of Lehman Brothers, died today. He would have been 63 June 1.

LOCAL AND U.S. OFFICERS PRESS CROUCHSEARCH Indianapolis Man Accused of Killing Agent, Tax Unit Head Says. (Continued From Page One) the rifle bullets which killed Foster were fired. The bootleggers knew, Jacobs was quoted as saying, that their pursuers were Federal agents, and opened fire for that reason. After the shooting Jacobs and Crouch retraced their trail and returned to Chicago Heights, where they went into a restaurant, Mr. Yellowley said. Police, suspicious of the milk cans in the back seat of Jacobs’ car, watched for the two to return, Mr. Yellowley said. Crouch Saunters Down Street Jacobs came out of the restaurant, went to the car and was arrested, while Crouch sauntered on down the sidewalk, it was said. Six others sfeized in Chicago were questioned today. They are Joseph Krupa. 42, of Indianapolis; Mrs. Mary Sola, her sons, Bruno, 18, and Vincent, 20; Joseph Pegorin, 45, and Vincent Marronte, 48. Half a dozen over night raids by local police indicated, they said, that Crouch was in Indianapolis but they were unable to locate him. Five houses on Leon-st were searched, and acquaintances of Crouch, living in the 500 block, said they had not seen him for several months. Tried to Borrow Funds, Report H. M. Vogg, 4401 College-av, told police Crouch had tried to borrow money from him yesterday, and had promised to return and see him today. He said he usually met Crouch near West and Morris-sts. Funeral services for the slain agent are to be held at 2 today in the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ruel Foster, in Marion. The Rev. W. T. Arnold, First M. E. Church pastor, is to officiate. Burial is to be in Marion. Four fellow workers of Foster in the Federal service are to be pallbearers. They are Ivan Belcher of Marion, Walter K. Imlow of Muncie, Arthur Allen of Lafayette and Walter P. Allender of Indianapolis. The other two pallbearers are to be Roy Anderson and Damon Anderson of Marion.

PUBLIC BUYING GAINS Increase Noted in Purchases of ‘Prosperity Goods.’ Times Special MINNEAPOLIS, May 16.—Continued gains, some of them at a slower pace than in 1935, were shown in the public's buying of “prosperity goods” during the first quarter of 1936, with the excellent winter resort season and large patronage of ocean cruises boosting sales of luggage and sporting goods. Rising sales of pianos and furniture also showed that the American public is again buying liberally, beyond the bare necessities of life, according to a surplus income analysis compiled by Northwestern National Life Insurance Cos.

3 DIE, 5 SHOT AS ANGRY MOB BESIEGES HOME Aged Negro and Sister Are Riddled With Bullets, House Set Afire. Bp United Prettt GORDONSVILLE, Va.. May 16 Two Negroes killed a sheriff, wounded five other white men, held off a posse numbering up to 5000 men in a six-hour gun battle, and died, finally, in a barrage of machine gun bullets in their blazing home early today. Two hours later, after the ruins had cooled enough to permit approach, members of the posse raked among the ashes and recovered one of the bodies. The body of the second Negro—a woman—was recovered several hours later. State troopeis and deputies who fought through most of the night with the Negroes left the scene without disposing of the charred bodies. The battle raged under the glaring spotlights of fire trucks. Mountaineers from the surrounding Blue Ridge foothills with their rifles, citizens with pistols and shotguns, state and local police with machine guns and automatic rifles were on one side, and an elderly Negro man and his sister, armed with rifles and shotguns, were on the other. House Set on Fire At least 10,000 rounds of ammunition were expended. At times the barrage was so terrific it echoed and re-echoed over the hill ops and could be heard for miles. The dead were Sheriff William Young or Orange County and the Negroes—William Walles, 60, and his sister, Cora, 62. Wounded were Fayette Young, Sheriff Young's brother; Gordon Ray Mundy, garage owner of Orange; State Police Sergt. Wayne Carr, and S. L. McWilliams and George Messong of Culpepper. All were taken to University Hospital, Charlottesville. After repeated efforts, volunteers from the state police managed to get to an outbuilding near the ancient 10-room frame house on the property of the Gordonsville Cemetery where the Negroes had barricaded themselves. They saturated it with kerosene and set it on fire. Sheriff Is Murdered While the crowd screamed and fired, and bullets whistled, the blaze jumped to the house and soon flames were leaping high. The woman appeared at a window and was riddled with machine gun bullets. A moment later the roof collapsed and the man ran out. He was struck by a blast of bullets and fell backward into the fire. Walles, caretaker of the cemetery, had been asked to vacate the house. He had refused and for several days he and his sister had patrolled the grounds, armed with rifles and revolvers. Yesterday they threatened Mrs. George Zimm, a wealthy land owner. She notified Sheriff Young who

PARTY LEADERS CONVENE TODAY TO REORGANIZE Democrats to Name State Committee at Session in Claypool. (Continued From Page One) re-election as district chairman aa the result of a secret ballot. Frank Finney. Martinsville, state commissioner of motor vehicles, filed a protest with the state committee asserting that he was the duly elected chairman. He claimed to have an affidavit signed by a majority of the county chairmen and vice chairmen who are to attend the convention saying they did not vote for Mr. Fry. In the Third district the contest arose from a question over the breaking of a 12-hour deadlock. M. Edward Doran. South Bend, claimed election as chairman, with Mrs. Sears Gardner, Goshen, as vice chairman, when the tie was broken during the absence of several convention members. Delegates to Leave Jun 20 The Indiana delegation to the Democratic national convention in Philadelphia is to leave Indianapolis on a special train at 4:23 Saturday afternoon, June 20, arriving in the convention city Sunday morning at 8:22, Mr. Jackson announced. The convention opens June 23. A dispute over selection of two members of the Republican State Committee from the Eighth District is to be settled by anew election prior to the state convention June 3. Don B. Irwin, state chairman, announced. Gene Scamahorn. Rockport, was named district chairman and Mrs. Tom Groves, Perry County, vice chairman, after a tie vote had been cast. Chester V. Lorch. New Albany, retiring district chairman, contested the election on the ground that the tie was not broken. At the reorganization meeting of the state committee Wednesday the members voted 12 to 10 to declare the district offices open. Their Votes Withheld Mr. Scamahorn and Mrs. Groves attended the reorganization meeting. but were not allowed to vote. This created a deadlock between Mr. Irwin and Ralph Gates. Columbia City, for state chairman. Mr. Irwin broke the tie by casting the deciding vote for himself Although George Ball. Republican national committeeman, appeared before the committee, and Everett Sanders, former Republican national chairman and supporter of Mr. Gates, sent a message to defer selection of a state chairman until the Eighth District could be represented, the committe adjourned with Mr. Irwin as chairman. District delegates to the Republican convention are to be elected June 2 at district meetings of the delegates to the state convention. The four delegates-at-large to the national convention are to be elected at the state convention. Two delegates are to be chosen from each of the 12 congressional districts.
