SEEK NEW LEAD
IN n. Y. MURDER
Police Abandon Early Theory
in Day Killing.

NEW YORK, Sept GA new mystery
today was thrown about the killing Of
George Day when police practically
abandoned previous theories upon which
they have been working.
Until today police held to the belief
that Day had been killed by a woman
who believed that her place in Days af-
fection had been taken by another. In
vestigation during the last twenty four
hours, however, has indicated that some
one upon whose trail they have not yet
hit shot the former fur manufacturer.
The blonde woman with whom Day
spent several hours before he was killed
was found by police. She came to Days
apartment to keep an appointment. When
told by an officer stationed there that
Day had been killed she collapsed Sew
eral hours Of questioning by police failed
to break down her story that she knew
nothing Of the killing
Police are still looking for a dark
haired Belgian girl with whom Day /,
said to have broken an appointment to
take the blonde woman to dinner.

WILL BUILD NO
NEW BRIDGE ON
DELAWARE ST.
County Council Objects to
Increasing County
Debt.

The members of the county council are
convinced that the taxpayers of Marion
County are opposed to an increase in
the tax rates, according to County Coun-
Gilman Albert Newby, who voiced the
opinion at the first session of a two day
meeting of the council at the courthouse
today.
President W. D. Haverstiek of the
council voiced a similar opinion when a
committee of Meridian street property
owners appeared before the council to
ask that an appropriation be made to
build a bridge on Delaware street over
Fail Creek so as to relieve the traffic
on Meridian street.
Mr.. Hayerstick pointed out the erection
of the bridge and a new one over Ken
lucky avenue, as has been requested,
would increase the bonded Indebtedness
Of the county at least two million dollars.
Indications are the council at the final
session tomorrow will postpone action
on the Delaware street bridge until next
year and probably later.
Henry Eitel, vice president Of the In
diana National Bank, E. w. Warner,
George Marott and G. A. schnull com
posed the committee which appeared be-
fore the council In behalf of the North
Delaware street bridge.
The council devoted most of its time
to considering minor matters in the bud
get and hearing certain county officers
discuss the items as requested in the
budget for next year. Councilman
Frank E. Brown complained of the high
prices being charged for printed supplies
and books for county offices
The council tomorrow will officially
adopt the county tax rate and also will
take final action on the budget for next
year.
The councilmen have indicated clearly
they will not approve Of any bond IS
sues at this time unless Of an absolute
emergency nature.

dead tired" sitter a days work. The
judges often point out that if the hus-
bands and wives would recognize the
danger in the failure 10 appreciate the
others desire for entertainment and CO.
operate toward that end, many of the
petty differences would be removed.
The evidence also reveals the fact that
the honeymoon" passes too rapidly. In
the majority Of the recent marriages
there is no wedding trip. Often, in the
case of young people, no home is pro-
vided at the actual time OF the marriage.
This so often results in dissatisfaction
and when young people live with par
ents Of either the husband or the wife.
the records show that there is a real
danger of PARENTAL interference. This
Is fatal in many cases.
The records show that the 'early
marriage" is not the real menace to do
nestle happiness, but the unprepared
marriage and the realization of the re-
sponsibilities of married life are the
actual causes Of domestic unhappiness.
Divorce complaints often show that the
husband refused to provide and main
tain a home" and insisted that they
live in boarding and rooming houses.
1t is only in rare cases that young
people seek the divorce courts as q
remedy for their domestic unhappiness
when the husband and wife work side
by side to create and maintain a home
The sincerity of purpose and the de-
termination TO have a real home are the
two best attributes which prevent
divorce and petty quarrels.
EACH HAS DUTIES
TO MARRIED STATE
The evidence shows that both men and
women fail to appreciate the fact that
each has important marital duties to per
form. Married life is not just one kiss
after another, but it is q question Of mu-
tual adaptability and concerted action
toward the realization of a practical idea
the creation Of a real home
As Judge Hay once stated, The trouble
with you two is that you are not part
ners in this transaction You forget that
both of you have certain obligations to
fulfill by virtue of the marriage agree
ment."
The wistom Of Judge Hays remarks is
well reflected in the recital Of petty quar-
rels of married people. A business part
nership can not long endure when the
principals are quarreling Business goes
TO smash-so does the home. That's the
lesson 10 be obtained from Judge Hays
warning.
The problem becomes serious when chill
dren are concerned. That's the real pr
lem Of the Marion County judges II
handling divorces.
Each Judge has his own way in hand
ling the situation.
The statutes are plain in defining the
obligation and duties Of the father even
after the divorce decree is granted.

by youths who have not yet even reached

The finish of the cars, their graceful

there is serious unemployment sit
uation throughout the country, the
Government has a number of positions
which it is having difficulty in filing.
These Jobs are prohibition enforce
ment billets along the Mexican and
Canadian borders.
One of the drawbacks, prohibition
officials said today, is that the NOR
tality rate among agents along the
two 'far flung bottle lines" is exces-
sively high. The rum runners shoot
them of as fast as the bureau sends
them out.
