zAMORA THREATENS
TO SHOOT CAPTIVES;
RANS0MS ARE READY
(By Associated Press)

MEXICO CITY, Sept. 3.-Pedro Ia
mora, the Jalisco bandit. has threaten
ed to execute w. A. (Sandy) Gardiner,
an American citizen and w. B. John
son, British subject, who were kid
mapped by Zamora's band at Cuale on
Aug. 20.
This information has been given
government authorities by deserting
members Of the Zamora forces who
say that the threat to kill the two cap
tives may be put into execution if the
men are not ransomed Immediately,
according to dispatches received
from military headquarters at Guada-
lajara.
1t is reported Zamora has refused to
answer communications from the gov
ernment, presumably relative to the re-
lease of the two prisoners, and it is
said he has increased the amount Of
ransom required.
The Esperanza Mining company,
which employed Gardiner at Guale, is
holding the ransom money ready, upon
advice of the United States consul
here, but it is declared it has not been
able to communicate with the out
law.
Government is Working.
The government is eXertlng every
effort to secure the release of the two
men without paying ransom, which Of
ficials say, might encourage every
potential bandit chief to enter the bust

ers until paid large amounts.
Federal troops are said to be close
behind Zarlora, who is reported to
have sought refuge near the Ell Panal
mountains in Western Jalisco.

COUNTY CANNOT CUT
DOWN, BROOKS SHOWS
IN FINANCE REPORT

In the financial report w. H. Brooks,
county auditor, has prepared for sub
mission to the board of county COM
missioners and to the county council
at their joint meeting, next Tuesday.
he calls attention to the fact that the
county government has been affected
by the high cost of living just as much
as individuals but without the same
degree of opportunity the individual
enjoys of curtailing expenses by the
practice of economy.
The auditor points out in his report
that about so per cent of the county's
operating expenses are mandatory by
statute, 80 per cent are required, leav-
ing only 20 per cent over which the
county board can exercise any control.
"It is, therefore, not an easy task
to reduce greatly the amount of the
budget without crippling some branch
Of the service" the auditor adds.
Do Only Emergency Work.
Mr.. Brooks states in his report that
since the first of this year the policy
of the county government has been to
postpone new extensive improvements
but to do all emergency work
promptly.
The balance on hand in the general
fund of the county, June 80, which is
supposed to be sufficient to meet the
expenses OF the county government
for period of six months, was larger
than any balance show for the same
period the past five years. This
amount was $120,93264 Balances for
the same period in previous years
were: 1915, $52,91O96; 1917, $72,S53.-
80; 1918, sS7,330.95; 1919, $97,905.SS.
The report shows that the levy for
the proposed south side bridge fund
has produced a total of $95, ,631 .55. of
which amount $4,000 was transferred
to the fund for the construction of the
Main street bridge, leaving $15,621.55
in the south side bridge fund.
The net cost for the maintenance of
the county infirmary in 1919 was
$14,936.74, the report shows.
$1o,2S1 Repairs at SmithfieId.
The report shows that $1O.2S1 was
expended for repairs to the Smithfield
hospital, that $13,62399 was exended
for maintenance of the hospital farm,
and that the amount received from the
sale of hospital farm products was
$11,68566.
There was s5s,45563 collected as
delinquent taxes in 1919. Delinquent
tax collections in previous years were: :
1912, s16,977.87: 1913, $17,742.2S; 1914,
$22,400.33; 1915, s26,741.66; 1916,
$29,924.0S; 1917, $42,96535; 1918,
$57,61O.33
The auditor lists the total assessed
valuation of property in Wayne county
for the year 1920 at $91,OS2,709. as
against $93,641, ,43S in 1919
The auditor concludes his report
with the statement that the county's
budget for 1921 will total $455, $50 80
as against the current budget of
$393,06O.14. .-...- s-s. s.ssst. a.. ...-..-..&

MILTON BANK REPORT
IS NOT DONE; JUDGE
PLACES IT ON FILE

Stating that the report he received
Thursday from Claude Kitterman, re.
ceiver for the Farmers Bank, of
Milton Ind, was not sufficiently
specific and complete, Judge William
A. Bond has ordered the document
placed on file. The report submitted
by Mr.. Kitterman practically contain.
ed nothing except an inventory of the
assets of the Farmers Bank.
Judge Bond expressed satisfaction
with the way the receivership of the
bank was being conducted and ex.
pressed the opinion that it would be
some time before the receiver would
be able to submit a report on the
liabilities Of the institution.
No Publicity undesirable"
One of the attorneys representing
the receiver, made the statement
Thursday at the time of the filing OF
the receivers preliminary report that
the work of investigating the affairs of
the institution had been embarrassed
somewhat by undesirable publicity.
Judge Bond made it plain Friday
that he does not share the view OF
this attorney. "In my opinion" he
said, there has been nothing pub
lished in connection with the affairs
of the Milton bank to which excep
tions could be taken.
THE failure of this bank was an
event which greatly effected the pub
lie it served. and that public is en-
titled to any legitimate information
concerning the affairs of the bank
that the press can secure. Incidents
like the failure of the Milton bank
cannot be hushed up, and should not
be expected to be-"
No Grand Jury Call
In connection with a report that Ger
tain matters concerning the failure oi
the Farmers bank were to be submit
ted to the grand jury, Judge Bond
stated that up to this time he had re
ceived no information which would
warrant him in calling the grand jury
into session.
Judge Bond stated that with the
converting of the October session OF
the circuit court the grand jury would
meet He said he did not know
whether the grand jury would be
asked to investigate any of the banks
affairs at that time.
