GARY BOND

STILL DARK Forty -eight hours have Jo nod by and t ntw theory In the Oary bond myitery. To be brlf. that's the latent news In h oertifleate of Indebtedness mywtejy th-a ve-j broufht to light Jurt v ag wfeea Omries a Jag-frer !T-dea tie fhat Ms wife had found 1110.00 worJi of government certMaerfea In Tellow taxi cab la CM--ro last March. Pi nee that ttrne. statements have been made by Oary people Interested In tne I'M, that there -a ere only 1"00 In th Uak roll, but Mr. and Mrs. JsBr still srtlck to their original yarn. Although they will not say Ju.t how many bonds there were or the exict ameuot, they aay that there were the.

aarne number aa they first told and'! 1,1,1 tf Mt of Property and earn? S was 1150.00 worth. Ten of JlO.ooojj month. Mrs. Wukovich alicertlflcatew and ten of 5.o.)0 rertl- "" &n' uPP"rt money for hers-lf

ftcataa. amounttag to a total of $ljO.Oij Durinst the Tal week a score or mere of theories have been advanced I to hrar the money came Into the band of Mr. and Mrs. Jagser, where K came from, and the amount, but up to this hui the mystery la Just a-s j math a tangle aa when It was first ; brought to public attention. Nwraper men and detectives who !, been working on the -a have lrrt the cttv. declaring the bond mystery oae f the strangest and uncertain pieces of ews rvr called to their attention. The cn.se ftill stinds where It did a week ago. with Mr. and Mrs. Jaeger custodians of the fortune and J the First National Pajik of Boston from wtiere It Im hellevod tliey were stolen, still retricent about giving out any Information whatsoever. The treasury department at Wsshington claims that they shipped the certificates to the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston and the Federal Reserve Bank admit they ahlpped them to the First National BanU. Many Investigators think It wa an Inside Job at the First National which Is holding It secret to mnintaln its n:jjoe In the banking world. IS SEYMOUR A FORMER GARY MAN? Is Charles P. Seymour. Jr., held under charges of Mann act violation and bigamy at Salt Ivike City, the same personage as C. tJ. Seymour, who, with his father operated the Nevada Gol 1 Mine Co. at "CO Wellington street. Gary, several months ago. According to a Chicago paper this rr.ornlng young Seymour is the same person that was aff. Hated with the Gold Mine Stock concern during their .:iort residence) of three niontns In lary. In June, Mrs. Hatel Wita fieytruur, young Seymour's pretty 1 year old bride of three weeks, charged be deserted her here after she) had become violently 111 from poisoning caused by pills administered by hlrn. Last I'ecember Mrs. Helen I-ulse Seymour sought a divorce, claiming she had married blm In Brigham City. Utah, in June. ISIS. This Mrs. Seymour and " a 4 year old son are said to reside In . los Angeles now. It Is charged Seynourmet Miss Wits at Atlantic City, and took her to ' Washington. Philadelphia ,and Baltimore before marrying her at Ellicott City. Ml, on June . m9. Reports say Seymour admits the bigamy charge, but denies violating the Mann act. The Seynioura came to Gary about I month, ago and opened, an elaborately furnished ofrioe at 700 Washington StIn this office a great deai of "gold stock" was sold, and when they sud- j iieuly packed their baggage seven weeks ago. and left for parts unknown, the a .ockholdera became rattier worried. In one Instance Mrs. Maude Given of Jefferson street waa on the verge f starting suit against them to reovee a loan of $."' which she has given them, but before the papers could be served on S'yni"ur, he had left town. It Is understood that the Seymours reaped a. large harvest In Gary. ROADS GALORE OPPOSED BY TAXPAYERS (Continued from Page One) approval of the bond Issue for this road the commissioners of Wabash county awarded the contract to OConnor and on of Fort Wayne, The contractor has brought suit to hold the county to the contract despite tht ruling of the state hoard. An effort Is being made In Vigo county to have the contracts for 11.J50.00 of county unit roads awarded last summer, rescinded. The taxpayers of Vigo county are now aroused over the burdensome tax levy that will have to be ma4e to pay the principal And, interest on this laj-gs road program. Tbey are also demanding that other proposed roa'ds, -which the county conrmtssloners are contemplating, be held up. These conditions and situations are merely cited to show the trend or things relative to public Indebtedness and the menace of still higher tax rates In 1922 and future years unless some action is taken by the assembly. The higher tax rates of future years is not the only thing worrying the assemblman. In many of the counties where they ape piling up debt to within a close margin of the new valuation limitation the assessed property is largely agricultural. This means that the 1920 asessment will in all likelihood be decreased when the new assessments are made In March. The tremendous decrease In prices of farm products, it Is said," will caus a great decrease In the tax duplicates. It Is, therefore, evident that some counties and townships will find that they are In debt for more than the constitution , limit when millions afe deducted from their 1920 duplicates. ASK MILLION FOR CONFINEMENT JvETW YORKT, Dec. 24 Ten years confinement in an insane asylum Is worth $1,000,000 in the opinion of Mlsss Phebe SI. and Ada F. Brush, who Jointly have sued Drs. W. B. Gibscn and Walter Lindsay, of Huntington, 1 I.. for that amount. The e'sters allege the doctors certified them Insane without examining them.

Air VETO AGAIN DT W. II. ATKINS fSTrr cot$POornT t. n. strvicei WASHINGTON, Dec 14 President WlUon'a veto of the bill pased by con. Sr'' , trade. gvss to tfvhc the war finance crn. to alt farmers in eiport was prd!ctd In reliable foveminent ijuaiters today. Belief that the president will refuse to sIko the bill Is bused upon the opposition of the treaetirv and the urgent recomi roendstions said to hJie beri made to I the White House that the measure b i blocked. j Secretary of the Treasury Houston tod y eipresert unalterable opposition to the proposal, asserting; that It 's fraught vith danger to the nation's financial stability. He contends that while operation of the finance corporation to ba k eiport shipments i.i still lare'r volume, might enable the farmers to get what the producers regard as a more, reasonable price Tor their products. It would only provide a temporary remedy, would further expand the country's credit by more than J l.ni.ii iMKi.iWto, end Inevitably start nnothr rise In the cost of living. His ' main objection is that it would tau." a derangement In the government's settled fiscal poll y for this and future years. These are some of the big objections, framed by the treasury, and said to hae been laid before the president, as reasons for rejecting the war flname corporation bill. Farmers could not receive any direct loans or benefit directly, as re vival of the corporation's eiport functions merely would provide loaning arrangements solely for exporters. These loans could only be made to exporters who could negotiate adequate foreign securities. Handicaps over foreign buyers in furnishing satisfactory security would place Insuperable obstacles. Europe Is buying more now than she can pay for. and the running up of a still higher American favorable trade balance will only delay the day of Europe's paymynt of American obligations, according; to Secretary Houston. t The V. S. has supplied the world In the last three years with 123. 000. 000.000 wrth of commodities, and received In return by the Import route 112,ioo.(iii0'0. This Is entirely aside from the $10. 0mi. , 000 owing to the XJ. S In government loans made to allied and other nations to help win the war. Financiers estimate that Europe alone owes In American private Commercial obligations well above $4,IMMI 000. The answer to these staggering loans ls that AmerV can Only hop for p;- In goods sent to the l". S. by foreign debtors as they gradual'" recuperate In production capacity. Fully r.o per cent of th- exports this year, amounting to $ H.Ouo.ftOfi.ooo, consisted of agricultural products, showing that farm products are being privately flnanies.
