FAX BOARD WILL FIX ROAD LEVY

Assembly May Not Arrange for Raising Funds, According to Present Plans. M'CRAY MAY MAKE CHANGES Governor Likely to Revise Personnel of State Commission After the General Assembly Ceases Its Work. Indianapolis. The levy to raise funds for the building and upkeep of state roads may not be lixed by the Indiana state legislature. Hack of tlds statement of probability, which may be made with considerable certainty, lies a story of probable changes in the state highway commission by Governor McCray after the legislature has adjourned. The state board of tax commissioners' will be called on to fix a highway levy after the legislature adjourns, according to present plans. The probability that the legislature will not be asked to fix a highway levy ((ums as a distinct change in the. state highway situation, as far as state roads are concerned. Previous programs were greatly affected and In some instances entirely set aside when the state board of accounts made public its report on its investigation of the statt highway department. Previous plans had contemplated the fixing of a state highway levy, with special features stressing the maintenance of the roads already constructed by the commission. The present plans take maintenance into consideration In a large way, but contemplate a new method of raising money.The new program is contingent on what Is finally to be done with the state highway commission, and it is generally understood among members 1 of the house, who are deeply Interested in the highway situation, that no definite plans have been laid concerning the commission and that no action will bo taken with respect to the commission until ft ft er adjournment ' of the legislature-. (lovernor McCray has announced, and thus fnr adhered to the policy of making no changes In the heads of departments or in other ofliees until after the legislature adjourns. Members of the house have pointed out that, if there are changes In the state highway commission or Its administration, a new program for construction and maintenance of state roads probably will be formulated. It is said that any new members of the commission undoubtedly would wish to lay out their own program. To get the best results. It is believed, they should be permitted to do so In accordance with their own Ideas or with those of Coventor McCray, who has taken particular interest in the road situation. In his message to the legislature he emphasized the necessity for the proper maintenance of roads, rather than on new construction. If a new road program Is to be adopted through the highway department, house members say, it is impossible to anticipate at this time how much money would be needed to carry out the program. It woufd be Impossible to tell now or before the legislature adjourns how many miles' of new roads would be improved or how much money would be needed for maintenance. The only amount on which definite Information is available Is the sum the state, should appropriate to match federal aid money. Hills are j wilding, however, before the national congress which might change this amount. The only fixed amount which- the state highway commission will have available for the next two years is the amount which will be received from the registration of automobiles. These two amounts are insuflicient for use as a basis in figuring ut at this time what the state levy should be, house members, say. For thvse reasons, they point out, it would be Inadvisable for the legislature to attempt to fix a levy. The administration lax measure opens the way for the legislature to avoid fixing -a state" highway levy. The provisions of this measure, which ms certain of passage, would permit the state board of tax commissioners, with the approval of the governor and the auditor of state, to fix levies on which the legislature takes no action. With this provision in the law, the failure of the legislature to tlx the state highway levy would not preclude the raising ofi money for state road construction and maintenance.' The road situation was somewhat clarified when the house voted to kill the Knapp bill, which provided that money derived from the registration of automobiles be sent back to the various counties on a basis of the improved road mileage and the amounts received from the counties. O. K.'s Riley Memorial Hospital Plan. A favorable report of the ways and means committee on the house bill to establish a Ulley memorial hospital for children inindlanapolls was adopted by the house. As amended by the committee, the bill appropriates $12.",000 Instead of SlTAl) for construction, and .7Ö.( annually for maintenance instead of .1.MK. The committee i ported the bill favorably, with the understanding that the Ulley Memorial association will raise an amount equal to the appropriation for construction In the state.

For New Hospital at Lafayette. The Southuurth senate bill, appropriating Ö.CNm) for a new hospital and kitchen at the Indiana Soldiers' Home at Lafayette, wuj passed by vote of 31 to 5 in the senate. Senator Moorhead, a veteran of two wars, opposed the measure, saying it would be the better plan to transfer the members of the home who are suffering from mental diseasv to the state hospitals for the Insane.

To Increase Mortgage Exemption. A bill increasing mortgage exemptions from $1,000 to .$2,000 was passed by the house by a vote of G4 to 2T. Two years ago the legislature Increased the mortgage exemptions from $700 to $1,000. The author of the bill said that the reason that the exemptions should be Inen ascd was that assessed valuations have been greatly Increased, and that unless the mortgage exemption were increased - it would tend to put a stop to home building and home owning. Auto Headlight Bill Killed. The house defeated the Calef bill providing for regulation of automobile headlights and the angle at which they would have, to be set, when it adopted the minority report of Judiciary It committee for indefinite postponement. Uepresentative Calef said that adoption of the regulations provided In his bill would prevent many accidents, and would make Indiana laws conform to those of other states. The bill had the support of the Hoosner Motor club. Several members objected to that feature of the bill which would compel all vehicles to carry lights at n!ght. Deficiency Appropriation Killed. House bill 400, which provided for an appropriation of $173,000 to make up a deficiency in the fund for state and elementary schools to maintain public schools for liiUO and lOl'l, was killed. The ways and means committee reported the bill for indefinite postponement, and the house adopted -the report. It is understood that the ways and means committee took the position that the levy of seven cents, nr. approved in the common school tax levy bill which passed the house, would give to the elementary schools $1,000,000 more money than received heretofore. House Passes Seven-Cent School Levy. The house of representatives, sitting as a committee of the whole, reached an agreement on the common school tuition fund levy and methods for its distribution. The house later suspended its rules and passed the bill by a , vote of So to 0. The measure provides for a levy of 7 cents on each $100 of taxables, and will create a fund of approximately $4.000,000 annually for the next two years for common school purposes. This is In addition to the 50 cents on each poll tax which is credited to the state fund for common school purposes. Agreement on the measure was reached without debate, only two changes ot importance being made. in the hill. The hill has been in committee for several weeks while various school factions fought out their differences and the ii. ensure was a compromise. The bill was originally considered by the house, committee on ways and means. Decide on Population Center. In the least populated part of Owen county, 11 miles from Spencer and nine miles from Uloomington, the exnet center of population of the United States, as shown by the 10'JO census, was fixed by a party from Indiana university composed of Prof. W. A. Cogshall. Prof. Frank CJ. Hates and Prof. Frank K. Senour. .The center Is on the farm of Melvln Sims, at the foot of a large beech tree, almost on the boundary line of sections .'M and IJT, township 0, range I west. Mr. Sims owns a small farm and his family consists of a wife and a son, Uoy. The parents are about fifty years old and the s-on twenty live. Mr. Sims has owned the place all his life. It Is roult land, mostly in timber, and Is about two and a half miles west of Whitehall. The population tree was marked, 'and later a marker will be put up by Indiana university. The cehsus bureau at Washington sent data on the population pivot to Professor Cogshall. In the ten years since the 1010 census the center has moved nine miles west from the grounds of the Shower Brothers' Furniture company in Wilmington. Few persons live in the neighborhood of the new center. The Sims home is the only one in sight from the pivot. The beech tree is about two miles to the south of the Uloomington-Spencer road and is about 2X yards off a neighborhood dirfroad. On the data first available it was believed the center was on the property of John K. (Jiminie) Herrin, but it was announced at the time that more detailed data might show thf to be erroneous. Opposes German in Schools. A protest against the senate bill v.hlch provides for repeal of part of the 1010 law prohibiting teaching of German in the public schools will go to senators and representatives from the Indianapolis Federation of ParentTcachcr organizations. Mrs. Curtis Hodges, president of the federation, made a plea for keeping German out of the schools, and offered the motion, while Mr- Chic Jackson, secretary, presided. It was enthuslasticallj adopted, and Mr. lliges was author Izcd to notify the legislators.

This Jury Will Have to Have a Bible

NEW YOPK. One of the most unusual matrimonial actions ever filed was disclosed through a decision in the supreme court by Justice Lydon directing a trial by jury of a suit by Jacob Friezncr against Mrs. Caroline Friezner to annul a marriage under the Orthodox Jewish practice because his wife brought about the marriage by making false statements. The fraud alleged is that the wife represented that she had "observed, abided by, and gone through a certain Jewish orthodox religious practice." Justice Lydon said that the. ceremony referred to is no doubt that contained in the book of Deuteronomy, chapter 113, verses 5 to 10, reading in part as follows: ".". If brethren dwell together and one of them die and have no child, the wife of the dead shall not marry without unto a stranger; her husband's brother shall take her to him to wife and perform the duty of a husband's brother unto her. "G. Ami it shall be that the first born which she heareth shall succeed In the name of his brother which Is

The Fearful Rebuffs of Kirby McRill

OFFICE TOPKKA. Kirby Mcltlll of Tonganoxle, who wants Willard to give him the job of training him for his fight with Dempsey, and who has kept himself imklssed for forty years, Is seeking a bride, and the rebuffs he has received have been something fearful. Last summer Kirby deserted his fine farm in Leavenworth county and walked all the way to Chicago tofind himself a bride. He appealed in vain to the mayor of Chicago, and Kirby had to walk all the way back to Kansas brideloss. Miss Ellen White of 8141 Klmbark venue, Chicago, twenty-one years old. wrote a letter to Cov. Henry J. Al Vamp'll Git Him If PHILADELPHIA. Madly in love with a Philadelphia business man who failed to return her loe, Miss Peatrice Herbert, twenty-nine years old. of Montreal, chased him half way around the world, partly by airship. Here pursuit ended before Magistrate McCleary. After the object of her pursuit, William Zinzer had told his story the defendant, who was charged with breach of the peace and disorderly conduct, was held in $1000 bail for further hearing. According to Dr. John Egan, a police surgeon. Miss Herbert is perfectly sane "that is, If anybody deeply in love can be called sane," he said. "She is simply a determined 'vamp' determined to capture and win this man. It has become an obsession with her." Zinzer, who Is about twenty-five years old, told the magistrate that when conducting a party of tourists on a trip to the Orient on a transpacific liner last March the woman annoyed him. On his arrival in Jd-

In the hall stood an apparition in a long furry overcoat. It grabbed her. "Huh." said the newcomer. "I come up here for a room and I wants it pronto get me? What, none left? Do you know who I am? I'm a gunman. I aim at slaughter. I come all. the way from New York to do this town up brown. When I say I wants a room I want it, whether you got it or -not. She ducked and fled into Shorty's room. He looked up. P.ehind the landlady loomed the big stranger. His eyes and Shorty's met. "Her husband!" thought the stranger. "A cop!" thought Shorty. The landlady fainted. When nobody caught her as she slumped she opened her eyes in surprise. She was alone. The footfalls of the New Yorker were echoing down the stairs, while a segment of a coat, on the window sill showed where Shorty hail cone. dead, that his mime be not put out of Israel. "7. And if the man like not to take his brother's wife . . . "0. Then shall his brother's wife come unto him in the presence of the elders and loose his shoe from off his foot and spit in his face and shall answer and say. So shall it be done unto the man that will not build up his brother's house. "10. And his name shall be called in Israel the house of him that hath his shoe loosed." Mrs. Friezner's attorney filed a demurrer contending that, although the allegations made in the complaint were true, no cause of action for the annulment of the marriage was stated. len asking for the release of Kobert Sloan, serving a ten-year sentence In the Kansas penitentiary for robbery. "I have never seen this man," she wrote. "Put I want you to send him to me as a Christmas present. I am willing to stake my life that he will make good if you will let him outi I have corresponded with him for eighteen months." The governor said "no". Kirby read of it and wrote a letter to Miss White In which he said he was a friend of Governor Allen and added: "Sloan is a nice looking young man, but if you want a good looking, honest, upright, good, clean man, 'why not write to me? I have no bad habits, do not even drink coffee, use do tobacco or drinks, and have two nice farm home's." Xow Miss White has turm-d Kirby down and still sticks to her desire to obtain the release of Sloan. She has also written to Governor Allen about Mcltlll. "I am sending you one of the most appealing letters 1 have ever received." she said, inclosing McKIUfs letter. "Can't you help your own friends out?" He Don't Watch Out pan, he said, lie thought he was rid of her, but when Hongkong was reached she bobbed up again. On the return trip to Honolulu, he said.

Questioned as to how she re-entered this country from Canada after being deiorted. Miss Herbert answered. "Easy enough. 1 came by airship. It cost me SK1. but it was well worth ten times that price to be near inj loved cue. Iii get my sweetheart ot.'
