TOSIFT KILLING
Expect to Obtain Evidence
Death Car Raced Inter-
urban Train.
INDEPENDENT QUIZ ON

Friends Of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry FRANKIE,
whose daughter. Woaneta. .. was killed
when she was struck by Mayor Charles
W. Jewett's city automobile. driven by
Roy Howell. a city chauffeur assigned to
the mayor, today were following clews
which they hoped would enable them to
turn over TO Coroner Paul F. Robinson
evidence to show that Howell was racing
with a Union Traction limited train at
the time he struck the little girl.
Coroner Robinson will continue the in
quest at 10 o'clock tomorrow at his Of
flee in the basement Of the courthouse.
1t was learned that Roy Howell was
appointed patrolman on the indianapolis
police force by the board OF public safety
two weeks ago but according 10 Chief
of Police Jerry +. Kinney has not re-
ported for duty. At the boards office Il
was stated that Howells appointment is
recorded on the minutes but that he has
not been sworn in and has not been
issued badge. His naIae does not
appear upon the pay rolls for the past
month Chief Kinney said Howell Is
not receiving double pay.
The accident occurred last Friday
morning in Thirty Eighth street near
Ritter avenue. Howell according to the
police, admitted he was driving thirty
miles an hour and was on his way from
the mayors hog farm" on the Pendleton
pike to the mayors residence in Wash
ington boulevard to get Mrs Jewett The
car line is just north of the street.
FEAR OFFICIAL
INFLUENCE
Paul Hammond. night clerk at the vii
liams Hotel. who resides at Thirty
Eighth street and Emerson avenue, a
mile from the scene Of the accident, was
one of those who has been assisting in
the investigation, which he said has been
carried on practically independent of the
police for fear official influence might
be brought to bear In favor Of Howell
so strongly he would be e1onerated at
the coroners inquest.
The Independent investigation re
suited today in the discovery of one
witness who says he will testify to
circumstances tending to show that
Howell raced with the interurban from
Arlington avenue to the point near Rit-
ter avenue wher the accident occurred
Ritter avenue is approximately one half
mile west Of Arlington avenue. A lead
to another witness also was being fol-
lowed.

II is already quite generally un-
derstood by the public that the
tenth amendment, commonly known
as the general tax amendment
strikes out the present constitutional
requirements that taxes shall be
equal. uniform and just, and gives
the Legislature unlimited power to
tax anybody or anything TO any ex-
tent and in any manner it chooses.
This also carries with it the abolition
of judicial relief. In other words, un-
der - proposed amendment the
Legislature could impose taxes that
would be unequal. unjust and not
uniform in application; and the
courts would be powerless to give
redress to an aggrieved taxpayer. 1
presume that few taxpayers know
any individual to whom they would
be willing to give any such power;
and should imagine that they would
be at least as unwilling to give such
power to $50 men whom they do not
know.
GOOD REASONS
SEEM FEW.
Up to this time. however. there has been
little consideration Of the reasons offerea
for this Extraordinary change .ia tlie. cons
stitution I wish to call attention here
TO the fact that, as yet, the advocates OF
the change have not established a single
one Of the propositions on which they
urge il. Their central proposition is that
there is a vast amount Of intangible
property escaping taxation in Indiana.
and that il it is taxed at q lower rate
than other prOperty-their definite pro-
posal was one fourth the general rate
it would produce so much revenue that
the taxes on tangible property would be
materially reduced. The theory was
stated by Governor Goodrich, in his mes
sage of Jan 9, 1919. as follows
Intangible property, which comprises
at least 30 per cent Of our wealth. pays
less than per cent Of our taxes. .
The largest measure of classification
possible under our constitution should be
provided for intangible property so that
this form Of wealth viii be required to
come out Of hiding and contribute to the
support Of the State
The Governors first proposition is de-
lighfuIly absurd. If intangible prop
<erty constitutes 90 per cent OF our wealth

Ihrockmorton has been one of the

Oelsner was the better man yesterday,
defeating Throckmorton at T-5, 6-1.
The latter was extremely erratic,

seem able to hold control of any of his
strokes, whereas Oelsner was steady
and accurate, with his softer game.

LONDON, June i. --J. 3. Joers
Humorist won to-day's Derby, with
Lord Astor's Crag En- Fran, the favor
ite, second and j. Wasson's Lamencra
third.
From every angle the race will be
remembered as one Of the creates t
ever run 81 historic EPSON Downs. For
the f3rst time since railway trains ever
ran~to the Derby course the crowd was
deprived of that form of transporta-
tlon, for the government had ruled
that no coal could be wasted on racing
crowds.
King George V, Queen Mary and a
multitude of more than 25o,000 loyal
subjects and foreign visitors of dis
tinction and wealth managed, however,
to get to the Downs and to wager tre-
mendously large sums despite the des-
perately bad business situation
It was petrol Derby; that is,
motor cars and lorries had TO take the
place of railway trains. But never in
the long history of this blue ribbon
classic did such large crowd find
means of making q way from London
to the Downs.
Airship Regulated Traffic
Above the roads leading to the
course a giant airship observed traffic
and wirelessed instructions to the
police, who Immediately untangled
jams and diverted necessary traffic to
the by-roads. Even the motors of the
royal family had to take their places
III the long, serpentine line of traffic
that extended clear from Windsor to
EPSON.
Humorist, which was backed from IL
to ! to . to L. came to victory in
great rush through the last half mile
This one laid off the early pace and
had plenty left when the pinch came.
There was some delay. at the post.
Twice the horses were called back
after false starts. Then, when the
race really got under way, Alan Breek
stepped out to the lead. There had
been doubt about this one starting.
Alan Breck was one of the most highly
regarded in the winter books. bat lit
was reported that he had gone lame
and probably would not start, so that
odds rose from TO l to % to l against
his chances.
Alan Breck Sets Pace
For more than e mile Alan Brock
showed the way to the others. Then,
when he began to show signs of falter-
ing under the pace, Humorist, Craig
An Fran ana Lem0nora IN ciose COM
pany charged down at him. After
Breck had been raced into submission
the three others fought it out to the
finish.
Lemonora found this pace too hot
and stopped in the last furlong, trail
ing the others home TO third place by
more than three lengths. Humorist
and Craig An Fran fought 1t out to
the very last stride, but Humorist was
going away at the end and won by d
neck.
