BANKS FILE REPORTS
CollectAbout $4,000 at Ca.

Two Cambridge City banks have
sent the lists of the tax collections
there to County treasurer Chamness
The Wayne National bank showed the
largest collection, the amount of taxes
paid through that bank being s10.821,-

$8,23313
The system of allowing property
owners in the outlying districts to pay
their taxes at the banks works to ad.
vantage to many, it is believed. By
this method taxpayers are not obliged
to make the trip to Richmond, the
treasurer does not have to handle the
money, and there is less of a rush
and the banks are benefited by the
use of the money until December
when the settlement is made with the
auditor.
There are a number of other banks
in the county which have not reported
the tax collections.

severely sprained ankle. He was

JOHNSON DESIRES
SIMPLER SYSTEM
To Confer With Utilities
Commission About Meth
cd of Accounting.

An effort to install in the city light
plant an accounting system, drafted
bv the state public utilities commits
sion, has raised a question as to its
economy and usefulness. Local au-
thorities have recently contracted
with the Edward A. Pratt Auditing
company to install a set of books in
the municipal plant in harmony with
tn requirements of the law. An ex-
animation of the proposed system re-
vealed to the expert in charge its
cumbersomenes and needless costi-
ness. AS an improvement the Pratt
Company has drawn up set much
simpler and cheaper in installation
and operation.
Yesterday n H Johnson. superin-
tendent of the municipal plant, and
City Attorney William A. Bond, went
10 Indianapolis where they conferred
with the members of the state public
utilities commission, entering objeC-
tons t. the commissions proposed &C
counting system.
Johnson stated today that when he
and Bond informed Chairman Duncan
tnat the commissions bookkeeping

additional a year, and that expert &C
countant Plat was revising the sys-
tenn now in use at the local plant so
that it would be much better than the
one the commission proposed. Judge
Duncan was greatly impressed.
chairman Duncan told us. If you
can show the commission that the &C
counting system Pratt is now working
on is better than the one we have
drafted, We will burn ours stated
Johnson today.
Next week Johnson and Bond will
return to Indianapolis to attend pub
nc hearing of the commission and ex-
plain the Pratt system.
The commissions voucher record
comprises about thirty forms, rang
ing from seventeen and one-half inches
to twenty-eight inches in size and re-
quiring twenty-eight sections in max
ing entries. The Pratt system, as pro-
posed, would handle the same &C
counts on two pages, eleven by four
teen inches.
The use of the commissions forms
would cost about $500 for installation
and $1,000 additional expense for op-
GRAFTON throughout the year. The
Pratt system would cost approximate
Iy $3.50, without any additional operat-
ing cost. A considera BILE annual
printing bill would also be saved by
the use of the latter method.

Reich VS.. Levinsky.
The handlers Of Al Reich, the Adon-
is-like gladiator, now realize that they
made big mistake by matching him
with the huge Carl Morris in what was
virtually his professional debut. They
have picked man nearer his weight
in Battling Levinsky, with whom he
clashes at the Paramount A G. Wed
nesday night, and they feel confident
that he'll score victory, which will
give him a fresh start in his efforts to
climb to the top of the white hope
ladder.
Leach Cross will make his debut as
an actor at local theater next week
He says that this is positively his first
and last appearance on the stage (un
less he becomes champion) and imme
diately after the engagement he will
start training for his match with
Richie. Cross is already in good
shape for a hard bout.

FEDS WANT PLAYERS
Of BIGGER LEAGUES
"War to Death" Has Been
Declared Against Organ
lied Baseball.
GOOD PLAYERS WAIT
Fraternity Instructs Members
Not to Sign Until jan
uary |.

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 15.-War to
the death has been declared by the
new Federal league against organized
baseball. The experience of the new
league during the first year of It's eX-
istence has taught it's hackers that
they can not hope to compete with
the major leagues with the kind of
players 1t has at present, but must
improve the article of ball it is put
ting up If 1t hopes to succeed.
Henceforth it will be hot fight with
the Federal leagues possessed of the
determination to get the right kind
of players or lose it's existence in the
attempt No money will be spared in
inducing good players to leave their
present berths in the American and
National leagues and jump to the new
organization.
Everything indicates that there is a
working agreement between the Fed
eral league and the Ballplayers' Fra
ternity. This latter body has already
instructed it's members not to sign
contracts until the first of the year.
This is taken to men that the players
want to wait until they find out if the
Federal league really means business.
Hoosier Feds After Stars.
Efforts will be made by the Hoosier
Feds to get into the game and win
over some of the big league stars, ac-
cording to J. Edward Krause, presi-
dent of the club.
LAS l understand it," he said, cover
lures already have been made by other
Federal league magnates to Ed Ko-
netchy and George Stovall Then, too
] have been told that several players
with the Cincinnati Reds, the Chicago
Cubs and a couple more big league
teams have approached our people
They have intimated they are willing
to do business with us. | have in
structed Manager Bill Phillips to get
out after some of those men, and the
chances are we will be as well forti-
fed as the other clubs"
