uon to Scathing Attack
Made by EmsIey Johnson
Explain Reflections.

State tax commissioners were
severely condemned today by
Emsley W. johnson, member of
the city board of park commits
sioners, for their arbitrary
method of passing on Marion
County roads" Johnson's
declaration came during a hear
ing on remonstrance against a
$57, 800 bond issue for paving a
stretch of Kessler Blvd, known
as the Elmer Dawson Rd., be-
tween Keystone Ave. and Belle
fontaine st.
Johnson declared the board should
meet with public spirited citizens of
the county and come to some
definite agreement as to what roads
should be built and what ones should
not"
Price Only
"All you people consider with
reference to proposed roads is the
matter of contract price. You pay
no attention whatsoever to the. ques-
ton of a roads utility. With q view
of the local road situation no more
comprehensive than your board can
boast, you are not capable of pass
ing judgment on Marion County
roads. The board should have a
definite program for the develop
ment of our roads. What do the
people know about your attitude on
local roads?" Johnson declared.
I'VE have no jurisdiction over
road programs" John J. Brown,
chairman Of the tax board, re-
taliated.
In the last few months you have
turned down one road that should
have been improved and allowed two
roads that should not There has
been no utility value whatsoever TO
some Of the roads you have approved
recently" johnson said.
Cite Indebtedness
William A. Hough, member of the
tax board, pointed out to Johnson
the fact that Washington Township,
where the road lies, has a present
Indebtedness Of more than 100000
and tax rate which is increasing
by leaps and bounds" This road
is nothing more than a luxury"
Hough said. W. c. Husbaum secre-
tary Of the Indiana Taxpayers AS
sociation, seconded Hough's remarks,
declaring the tax rate in Washing
ton Township is bound to exceed
So on the hundred.
Others who spoke in favor of the
road were James ]. Cruise and Will

len, banker, and William W. Spe1lcer,

board Of election commissioners.
Members of the board said they

Survivors of Arctic Trip Tell
CoIorfuI Tales of Hard
ships.

Bl Untted Press
NOME, Alaska, Aug. 24.-Re-
turned from more than three years
Imprisonment in the ice packs of
the north, the Amundsen schooner
Maude was in port here today, with
the six men of its crew detailing
strange stories of their adventures.
The Maude ventured unsnccess-
fully into the Arctic regions, hoping
to reach the north pole by drifting
with the ice. Cross currents car
ried the vessel northwest instead of
north, thwarting the aim Of the
expedition.
But although the pole was reached
Captain o. Westing and his men
have none the less an interesting
story of their adventures which
they related to the United Press for
the first time.
Engineer Dies
With Captain Westing on the
Maude were Chief officer Carl Han
sen, Chief Engineer and Radio
Operator NJ. Olonlit, Assistant
Engineer A. Malnmert. Assistant
Engineer S. Syvestern, Aviator o.
Dahl and DR.. Harold Sverdruq,
scientist of the party.
Assistant Engineer Syvestern died
July 2S, 1923, from a complication of
diseases, brought on by Polar hard
ships. The body was wrapped in a
Norwegian flag, so-ered with canvas
and after funeral services were read
by Captain Westing, the remains
were lowered into the water through
a four foot hole in the ice.
1T was a severe strain on all the
Maude's crew to see our shipments
go into Davy Jones' locker, especial
ly with our only means Of transpor-
tation locked in the ice and the
probability we would never get out,
Captain Westing said.
Eskimo Deserts
1.-THE only Eskimo aboard the
vessel deserted in the winter of
1923, taking with him gun and
shovel. Land was 400 miles dis
tant and the native headed in the
wrong direction. Days later he wan
dered back to the Maude, nearly
frozen. The Eskimo was warned not
to leave again under penalty Of be-
ing placed in irons, but hardly need
ed admonition. He was later landed
at his home, at Es st Cape, Siberia 3"
The Maude, in it's northwest drift,
passed south of the jeanette Islands,
300 miles from the Herald Islands,
thence towarI The Bannett Islands,
where Captain Westing received or
ders to return to the United States.

Beethouen's Triumph

One of the most pathetic cases OF
deafness was that of Beethoven. Why
should it have happened that he who
lived supremely in the world of sound,
the very breath of whose life was
made up Of sweet chords and entranc
ing melody. should have been deprived
of the sense of hearing? Unconscious
even of the storm of applause evoked
by his playing, he was on one occasion
turned round by a singer that he might
see the waving hats and handkerchiefs
of his enthusiastic audience. Yet tht
victory of mind over matter was clear
ly evidenced in the case Of Beethoven.
for some of his most sublime compost
tions were created after his sense of
hearing was hopelessly destroyed and
the world heard with delight the ex-
quisite harmony that only in imagina-
tion could enter his own somber realm
of silence.-Exchange.

GRAIN FIRM HOPES
TO RAISE &,OOO,O))
Co. Operative Marketing Plan
Held Sound In Spite OF Many
Serious Difficulties.
BY j. C. ROYLE.
Special Dispatch to The star.


NEW YORK, July 6.-Advocates of
co-operatiy. marketing of farm pro-
ducts are convinced the future of
that movement Is assured no matter
what the outcome of the affairs of the
Grain Marketing Company. That
concern, formed in Chicago with the
idea of enabling the farmer to sell
his own grain, has recently been a
factor in the news of the failure Of
Dean Onativia g. Co., stock and grain
brokers Of Chicago and New York.
whose difficulties had a wide tenn
porary effect on markets both in this
country and abroad.
The Grain Marketing Co. has until
July 2S in which to pay S4,0OO,000 to
the private grain companies leased
to 1t. These component parts of the
farmers organization are the Ar
mour Grain Co. Rosenbaum Brothers,
the Rosenbaum Grain Corporation
and the Davis Noland- Merrill Co.
Attorneys for Dean Onativia & Co.
declare it was heavy holdings of Ro-
senbaum Grain Corporation stock
which tied up their liquid assets and
led to their suspension. Options on
the elevators and other holdings of
the component companies expire
July %.
Inc lQed DdCk or the IOrulatlOn Oh
the Grain Marketing Co. was that
eventually the farmers who owned
the land and produced the grain
would become owners of the market
ing machinery. Farmers admittedly
have been slow to take stock in the
marketing concern. and in at least
one State the securities are prohibited
from sale. Some farmer leaders have
shown open hostility to the scheme.
Silver Calls Plan Practical.
Gray Silver. president OF the COM
papy. while admitting the ability Of
the concern to pay the 81 900, 900 has
been questioned, declared in a state
ment received by the writer by wire
that there was no reason TO doubt that
this money would be forthcoming.
"A year Of experience with the CO.
operative marketing Of grain on an
unprecedented scale has sgiven con-
vincing evidence OF its practicability,'
he added. We know we could have
gone into the grain market this last
Winter and made that S4,000,000 on
almost any day of wild fluctuations.
We held wheat and other grains in
quantities which could have counted.
But we did not consider 1t fair to
the farmer to use the power we held
in that way.
From the experience we had. how
ever, came an appreciation of the fact
that the farmer, through a huge mar.
