ey, attorney, has filed a demurrer to the amended complaint of Archie Allen, in the restraining order and injunction suit brought by Allen against the city of Greencastle and the bank. The demurrer states there is no allegation of the plaintiff in his amended complaint showing that the bank has committed, or is about to commit, any unlawful act in the matter at issue; also, that the defendant bank has not caused the plaintiff any injury, nor is there any showing that the defendant bank is maintaining a cess pool on the lots of the plaintiff, or that the defendant is about to maintain any such cess pool.

He asks for a divorce from his wife.

HONEY COMBS ON DISPLAY An unusual display in the office of Guy T. Harris, county agent, Tuesday was in the form of three large honey combs brought in by Frank Raab of south Washington township. The combs, three of them, are a foot and a half in length, and hang close to one another from the foliage on a corn stalk, which makes them an uncommon spectacle. That the combs were constructed this season is made evident by the fact that they are on a this-year’s stalk of corn. The swarm of boes which built the combs had not had time to fill the cells of the combs with honey, with the exception of a small part of them, and most of the bees are missing, but a few rode into town with their former home and yet remain there, in the office of the county agent. Mr. Raab is road supervisor in south Washington.

One 6f the most prominent harpists in the world, Miss Marjorie Call, a native of Roachdale has been engaged as harpist for the newly reorganized Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, Fabien Sevitsky Musical Director and Conductor. Miss Call began the study of harp when she was nine years old, for many years traveling between Roachdale and Indianapolis to study as the pupil of Louise S. Koehne, prominent harp teacher. A pupil of exceptional promise, she was taken in 1928 to the Philadelphia convention of the National Association of Harpists. At this convention Miss Call was requested to play for the Convention, and her technique and artistry attracted the attention of Carlos Salzedo, foremost exponent of a modern harp. Mr. Salzedo approached Mrs. Koehne with the request that when Miss Call had finished her school career he be allowed to have her as his pupil. At the close of her freshman year in DePauw University she entered a competition through which she won a scholarship in harp to the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia. The scholarship was extended so that for six years she studied at the Institute as a pupil of Mr. Salzedo, and spent her summers in further study at his home in Maine. During this time she was first harpist for the Curtis Institute Symphony Orchestra. She has played in the Salzedo Harp Ensemble, appearing at the first Metropolitan Opera Ball in New York City, the Brooklyn Academy of Music, and the Academy of Music in Philadelphia. She has also had extensive broadcasting experience over both the National and Columbia networks. In inviting Miss Call to take the position of harpist with the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, Mr. Sevitsky has said that he is not only acquiring a musician of great talent, but is carrying out his purpose to show that Indiana has and can produce musicians in every way capable of assuming positions in a major Symphony Orchestra.

Fear Grows Kidnap Victim May Be Dead CHARLES H. ROSS OF CHICAGO DISAPPEARED SEVERAL DAYS AGO

CHICAGO, Sept. 28.—(UP)—Each tick of the clock beside the silent telephone in the apartment home of a#ed Charles H. Ross brought new fears today that he had died in the hands of his kidnapers. Mrs. Ross, on the verge of a nervous breakdown, kept a lone vigil beside the telephone, awaiting ransom instt actions from her wealthy husband or his kidnapers. None came. Ross, 72, was ill when he disappeared. He suffered a weak heart which might have collapsed under sudden strain. Investigators reasoned that If Ross were now in a condition to be returned to his home, the abductors would have offered to release him, probably for $250,000. Police had only the vaguest clues to the abductors, and their task was complicated by indications that the abductors were amateurs. Three men in a car halted Ross and his secretary. Miss Florence Freihage, as they were returning from a dinner-conference in Sycamore, 111., Saturday night. One of them was so nervous he almost dropped his gun. “I am convinced this was a real kidnaping, but that it was accomplished by amateurs,” said Capt. Daniel Gilbert, chief of the state’s attorney’s police.
