FLIGHT TO ARCTIC ABANDONED
Polar Explorers Defeated in
Search for Hypothetical
Continent Around Pole by
Adverse Element - Re-
turning to Etah.
Bu United Press

Bu CnHeG Press
WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.-The
National Geographic Society a.
nounced today that the attempts of
the MacMillan-Navy expedition to
discover an Arctic continent in the
Polar seas by means of airplane
flights would be abandoned because
Of unexpected summer snow
storms, continuous fog and un-
precedented weather conditions,
which prevent flying"
The expedition, it was announced,
would proceed Immediately from
Etah to accomplish other detectives
Of the expedition.
Proceed With Other Work
The decision was made following a
radio from Macmillan stating that
he and the expedition members now
agree that establishment of an ad
vance station on Cape Hubbard and
exploring the Polar sea from that
point is not feasible this year in the
time left/before the Boudoin and the
Peary would have to leave Etah
ahead of the ice barrier
Commander Macmillan has been
advised by the society to proceed
to the other explorations and ex
pedition planned as soon as he
deems 1t wise, leaving the polar sea
work for a subsequence work.
Seek New Great Lakes
CAS- announced at the outset" a
society statement said, 1.-The ex.
pedition contemplates an exploration
of Morse fuins in Greenland and
Labrador, with a view to comparing
the two and thus to determine
whether there was eleventh century
communication between the Old
World and the New.
The explorers also plan on the
return trip, to explore by airplane
the interior of unknown Labrador,
there studying the bird and fish life
and also the Eskimo tribes. Another
important objective is the flight con-
templated over Baffin Island, a new
great lakes region of this con-
tinent.

USE P0RTABLES AGAIN
Buildings Have Been In

By William A. Evans

While Indianapolis school build.
ings are in better repair than ever
before, not a single classroom has
been added to the facilities this
: summer to relieve over-crowding of
children this fall.
y The sixty odd portable buildings
and frame residences in use last year
will be used again when school opens
Sept. 8. Dimly lighted blind cor
ridors," former cloak-rooms, and
cubby holes will be used again for
Indianapolis $4,000 school children.
Worse Than Ever
Over-crowding is expected to be
worse this school year than ever.
Indianapolis will have about 1900
more school children this year than
last year.
Three new grade schools expected
lastS winter, to be ready for the
opening of school in September. will
not be available until next year it
is thought. Actual construction of
the Schools IS, "a and 46. will begin
in October, it is believed.
The proposed new grade schools
will accommodate about the normal
annual increase of 1900 pupils. By
the fall Of 1925 the increase for the
two years will be about 400 and the
three new buildings. If ready then,
will be adequate for only half the
children, according to the survey.
Better Condition
While our buildings are great
ly inadequate to accommodate the
number of children, the buildings
weI have are in better conditions
than in previous years" said Murray
Dalman, research director.
Dalman gave credit to Jacob Hill
kene, superintendent of buildings
and grounds. Hilkene has had about
200 men working all summer re-
Aconditfoning buildings.
Forty-nine buildings will have
complete new electrical service by
Nov. /, Hilkene said: Twenty-eight
will be completed by Sept. 8.
Seventeen buildings have been re-
painted inside. Miscellaneous re-
, pairs have been made in every part
of the city.

MYSTERY TRIO
NOT Illnesses
OF KILLINGS
Indianapolis Man and Sons
to Testify This After
noon.
BU United Press


MUNCIE, Ind, Aug. 19.-Out of
g. mass of jumbled testimony, DR..
Frank Kilgore this afternoon was
attempting to form his verdict in
the fatal shooting of Ben and Mary
Hance, betrayers of Gerald Chap
man. 1t is commonly believed that
the coroner will hold that both
Hance and his wife met their deaths
at the hands of George Dutch) An
derson and Charles Wolfe.
The only outstanding develop
ment of the inquest was that the
occupants OF the red mystery car,
were not witnesses to the shooting.
They arrived at the. scene. mediate
1y after the fatal shots we're fired
and left just as hurriedly as they
came, in fear of becoming connected
with the crime. The driver is an
Indianapolis man, and is not an at
torney. as was previously reported.
He, with his two sons, will be
witnesses before the coroner this
afternoon
The Rev. M. e. Stadler, pastor OF
the United Brethren Church at No
blesville, another eyewitness to the
shooting, also testified at the in
quest.%
On Kilgores verdict depends
whether Charles Zone ARM Wolfe
will be indicted in connection with
the double murder.
Wolfe was named by Hance as
one of his assailants.
Meanwhile, search for George An
derson, Chapman's pal, also accused
by Hance, shifted again to the
South.
Georgia Report
A report was received by Police
Chief Randolph that Georgia
authorities were looking for an auto
bearing an Indiana license driven
by, man resembling Anderson.
Hundreds of persons packed the
country church at Eaton Tuesday
afternoon for the funeral of Hance
and his wife.
Officers mingled with the crowd as
a precautionary measure. The two
victims were buried in a cemetery
near the Hance farm, where Chap.
man was in hiding for months before
his capture last January.

NEWPORT, R. l., Aug. 49,
A report that boiler repairs in
the ill-fated excursion steamer
Mackinac had been made care
lessly and without due testing
came to the front today as in
vestigation was begun into the
explosion that brought death
and injury to a holiday party
of seven hundred.
With the list of known dead at
81 and many others so seriously
scalded by steam that they may die,
officials summoned members of the
engine crew in an effort to place
blame for the disaster.
Boiler Repairs Faulty?
Repairs made to the boiler before
the steamer left Pawtucket for New
port yesterday morning were said
to have consisted only of a soft
patch" in one of the seam lines.
1t was further reported that the
line then had been tested only with
cold water.
Every available physician and
nurse is On duty at the city's two
large hospitals in order to keep the
death toll from increasing. The To-
cal chapter of the Red Cross has
volunteered its aid.

The Mackinac, in charge of Cap
tain George McVey, was homeward
bound from an excursion to New.
port when the disaster occurred. She
was steaming slowly through Codd-

LARGE INCREASE
In COUNTY TAX
LEVY PROVIDED
Auditor Harry Dunn Recon-
mends Budget Scent
Boost for 1926.
COUNCIL MUST GIVE O. K.
Increase Would Provide
$3.50, 900 Extra Revenue.

~ Increase in the Marion County
tax levy for 1926 from 26.5 cents
to 80 cents is provided in budget
figures prepared by Harry Dunn,
county auditor. The new levy, based
on an estimated valuation of $746,-
6S0900, will yield $2,3S9, ,376.96, as
against 81, 1929, 200 realized this year
on a valuation of S728 900 900. This
will be an increase of $3.50, 1866 in
county revenues if the Marion Coun-
ty council approves Dunn's recon-
mendations.
Dunn said he had gone over the
entire budget carefully with some
of the council members, the board of
county commissioners, Harry Miese
secretary Of the Indiana Taxpayers s
Associa lion and Leonard V. Har-
rison, tax expert of the Indianapolis
Chamber of Commerce.
Cut in Figures
Dunn said that budgets originally
submitted provided for $1,o60,000,
but this had been cut to $1,586,4S1.
AS compared with 1925 figures the
tax levy is divided as follows:
Free gravel road
1925. 1925.
County fund. 18 cents. 9.5 cents.
Sinking fund 10 cents. s12 cents.
fund ..... 8 cents. 8 cents,
tuberculosis Hos
pital fund. 1 cent. cents.
Reduction in the sinking fund levy
has been accomplished by reduction
1925 Indebtedness amounting to
S704, ,999.35 will be retired.
Factors Given
The marked increase in the county
fund levy is due to several factors,
he said. Track elevation work ac-
counts for 8 cents, S225 900; general
election, 2 cents. $4,000, and ex-
pense connected with court rooms
and salaries for the four new muni-
cipal judges, to take Office Jan. 1,
1926, l cent, $4,000.
An additional 2 cents is made
necessary by the fact that last year,
| acting on the recommendations of
Harrison, the county decidede to use
up a surplus in the general fund of
! abouk $4,000 and rely on tempo
rary loans in the future, instead of
uponsa surplus accumulated by tax
ations This surplus will be exhaust
ed by Jan. 1. 1926. Dunn said. He
does not believe the idea is sound
or that it should have been adopted.
One Cent Cut
Reduction of l cent in the tubercu-
losis fund is due to the fact that
there will be a balance of about SAT-
600 in the fund by the end of the
year which can be used in 1925.
The gravel road levy remains the
same. Estimated expenditures for
1926 will amount to $276,S00. OF
this about $48,O00 will be provided by
balance carried over from this year
and the county's share Of the State
gasoline tax. This year gravel road
expenditures will amount to about
1924, 900.
