POSSIBLE CUTS
IN SCHOOL TAX
LEVY ARE SEEN
State Board May Also Re-
duCe County Rate
of q Cents.

Indications were today that cuts
in school city tax levy of $1.04 and
in the Marion County levy of IS
cents would be made by the State
tax board.
Following completion of the hear
ing on remonstrances against the
Marion County levy this morning,
the board went into executive ses-
sion. John J. Brown. chairman,
said the board was anxious to reach
a decision as soon as possible.
The Az cent levy asked for gravel
road maintenance was the object
of attack by the demonstrators.
Questions asked by board members
would indicate this viii be cut l
cent or possibly more.
S327, 900 Would Re Raised
Under the levy asked $327.600
would be raised TO maintain the 719
miles of gravel and other nOn-hard
surface county roads.
Fred Sims, counsel for the Indiana
Taxpayers Association, declared
this expenditure was absolutely
ridiculous compared with other
counties in the State"
L. V. Harrison. representing the
Chamber of Commerce, pointed out
that county officials had not pre-
sented any program as to how the
money was to be expended. Super
vision costs, he said, also were ex-
cessive.
Willis c. Nusbaum said that the
road patrol system was being used
TO some extent with great success
and economy in Wayne Vounty.
Have Done Wonders
"They have done wonders over
there with only SS1, ,00O,' he said. In
answer to his questions. Russell J.
Ryan, county attorney, replied the
patrol system never had been given
trial in Marion County.
At the hearing Monday and today
county officials gave the number of
miles of gravel roads in the county
as 900 to LOO. When pressed for
definite figures a representative of
the engineers Office was sought. His
figures showed $3.50 miles.
II was believed generally that the
Scent levy for a west side high
school would be cut out of the
school levy. This will force the
school board to build the high school
by bond issue or abandon the project
for this year.
School Levy Up
Consideration Of the school city
levy of S1.04 took up all Monday aft
ernoon. The demonstrators concen-
trated their attack upon the Scent
levy for erection Of a west side high
school.
Fred A. Sims, counsel for the In
diana Taxpayers Association, admit
| ted the need of the scheel. but said
that in view of rising tax burdens,
it should be built by bond issue and
not by direct taxation School board
members argued that TO do this
would bring the school city danger
ously near the limit of its bonded in
/ debtedness.
Fears "Oliver Twist
William Bosson, city attorney.
made the unique argument that to
give the school board all it asked
at this time probably would result
| in it coming back next year and
| asking for still more.
Representatives of ParentTeacher
| Associations, the Federation Of Com
munity Civic Clubs, Hawthorn Civic
Association and other civic bodies
urged approval of the levy.

THREE OTHERS QUESTIONED

By the Associated Press.
LOUISVILLE, KY, March l0-Po-
lice had before them today the con-
fession Of William Gates. thirty-one,
a salesman, who shot and killed his
erstwhile friend and former en-
ployer, Richard Heaton. thirty-three.
a member of the merchandise bro
kerage firm of Heaton & Fisher.
after Heaton had kept him a pris-
oner for two days in a room while
he methodically prepared to perform
an operation.
Frank Cordell, private detective
of Indianapolis, was under arrest in
that city, charged with KIDNAPPING
Gates. He is to be returned to Louis
vile, whence he fed Thursday night
after having aided Heaton, the po-
lice say, in selling Gates and remov-
ing him to a house on saith street,
which apparently was rented by
Heaton with the view of mutilating
Gates.
Three Others Qnestfoned.
Three other persons have been
questioned and two of them released.
Heyde Conrad. theater organist and
night in the house Thursday, was
held on conspiracy charge. w A.
Fisher. Heaton's partner, said he had
stood guard over Gates. who was
tied to bed with a sheet covering
him. while Heaton went to his own
police say. the trouble arose. Fisher
has not been seen since he was re-
leased. Mrs. Moore. a Chicago de-
tective. quit her assignment Of keep
Ing Mrs. Heaton under surveillance
the day Gates was kidnapped She
said she saw nothing questionable
In the Woman's actions.
Gates told the police that he was
seized Thursday night in Heaton's
office and taken to the 34th street
from him, but overlooked an old
fashioned .41-caliber Derringer he
had in vest pocket. He, too, had
forgotten it in the excitement, but
that night when Heaton was prepar-
ing to operate upon him he discov-
was about - handcuff him to a bed,
after having taken him to a bath
room. he drew the pistol, and as his
captor attempted to obtain a pistol
shot him to death.
Find Heaton Dead.
Mrs. Heaton was on the first floor
when the shooting occurred. She had
by her husband, who went upstairs.
The shooting occurred soon there
after. A physician. attracted by the
shots, went into the house and found
Heaton dead. Gates left, but yester-
} day was found at the home of rela-
tiyeS at Anchorage. a suburb.
He was questioned as to the i'm
portant phases of the case, but, be-
cause of his condition, was not
pressed too closely.
Insane jealousy over his wife was
the reason attributed by the police
for the kidnapping and attempted
operation.
