Dead Man Buns
Way From West
to Wabash Home
Woman, Who Had Vision of
Her Sailor Son Floating
in Sea, SLpOOns.

WABASH, Ind, July S--Believed dead
because of dream In which his mother
saw" his body floating in the sea, and
with his father In California to claim
the supposed remains of the son, VII
liam ]. Beaver, Jr., today walked into
his home here. He had bummed his
way from California
Beavers home coming was carefree and
nonchalant but his mother, shocked by
what she believed to be an apparition,
swooned.
A few weeks ago Mrs. Beaver had a
vision in which the body of a youth in
sailors uniform, was floating near the
shore of an ocean. Knowing that her
son was stationed aboard the U. S. S.
Crosby, off San Diego, Cal, inquiry was
made of naval officials.
Beaver had disappeared from his ship
last January and was on the deserter
list; and an unidentified sailor, drowned,
had been taken from the water and
buried.
SO closely did the identihcations tally
that William Beaver, Sr., departed last
Saturday for California to, claim the
body.
1t is supposed that he either has
started for wabash with the body or
is preparing to bring 1t here.
Young Beaver was placed under arrest
early this afternoon as a naval deserter.
He served during the war as Marine.

BANKERS PLAN
FOR EXAMINER
Clearing House Association
Adopts New Rules
Names Officers.

! A clearing house committee consisting
of Frank D. Stalnaker, president Of the
Indiana National Bank, and president of
the indianapolis Clearing House Associa-
ton, as chairman; Otto n. Frenzel, pres
ident of the Merchants National Bank,
and Evans WooIlcn, president Of the
Fletcher Savings and Trust Company,
YVES elected at meeting Of the directors
Of the indianapolis Clearing House Asso-
citation this morning, and new rules were
adopted, chief Of which is the institution
Of bank examinations by a clearing house
examiner. 1t was stated that the ex-
aminer probably would be selected by the
clea ring house committee.
Such a system has been put into effect
In a number of cities, It was explained,
with most satisfactory results. The
committee will have active supervision
of all clearing house activities, work
ing under direction Of and by authority
of the association as a whole The date
for the new rules to go into effect has
not yet been decided upon. New articles
Of association also were adopted and
the old officers reelected.
The old rules that had been adopted
years ago when the clearing house was
started had been amended and changed
from time to time, 1t was explained, but
the basic plan Of the association had re-
manned substantially the same as orig
inally, and. patched as they were, were
far from modern. Banking usages have
changed and new devices in bank man
agement have been put into effect, and
80 1t was decided that what was needed
was an entirely new body Of rules rather
than further attempt at amending and
changing the old ones.

Legislature be a law unto itself l don't
believe we have reached the point where
we can treat constitutions trivially. I'm
der this amendment there would be no
power on earth TO enJoin the enforce
ment OF any tax law the Legislature
might enact
How would you ike to strike from
the constitution the section which gives
the right Of religious freedom, or the
right Of trial by jury, or the right of
habeas corpus? This amendment seeks
to strike out property rights. The Fed
eral Constitution itself provides for a
uniform rate of taxation"
Mr. Ralston in answer to a question
from 4 member Of the committee. said he
would approve a plan Of making securi-
ties uncollectable if the taxes on them are
not paid. In answer to another question
he said he favOrS a State income tax.
Mr.. Goodrich IN replying TO Mr. Raj
stOn declared that taxation should not
be classed with such human rights and
those Of religious freedom, trial by jury
or habeas corpus.
This question is merely a question of
dollars and cents with a matter of prin-
ciple underlying it's he said Il would
not underestimate such questions or the
AuEolANA Va property AAEAAos UuA NOulu
not class them with fundamental human
rights"
Mr. Goodrich said that most Of the
opposition to the proposed amendments
is based on the fear Of what might re-
suit He declared that this fear is
grOundless and stated that In no state
where there is a similar lack OF taxation
provisions in the constitution has there
been any movement toward socialism or
the confiscation of property.
He said that If income is confiscated
by taxation, money will be driven into
hiding or taken to other States. He
said he is not afraid to trust the people
OF Indiana on taxation questions He
said that so far as the fear of a single
tax is concerned, the State is now fast
approaching that condition with real es-
tate paying 60 per cent Of the taxes He
declared that if the present system is
continued real estate soon win be bear
ing so per cent Of the burden.
In returning again to the opposition
20 the amendment on the ground that the
Legislature would go wild" he said that
there is still the check Of the Governors
veto.
Mr. Goodrich's talk was frequently in
terrupted by questions from persons who
either disagreed with him or sought fur
Their information on his viewpoint
Mr. Bosom spoke against the proposed
amendment and Mr.. Chambers for it.
