OWNS RIGHT OF WAY

Plans extending KesSler boulevard
from Keystone avenue to FIT. Benja-
min Harrison, over the route orig
inally contemplated, have been re-
vived by city officials.
Park Engineer j. E. Perry has be-
gun check of the negotiations and
plans for improvement of the boule-
ward right of way east of Keystone.
The city already owns the roadway
from Keystone to the army post,
but plans for building of the boule-
yard have struck several stumbling
blocks in recent years.
1T took us two years to acquire
that right of way and now we have
not made use of it," Perry said.
The original Kessler plan provided
for extension Of the boulevard east
along Fifty-ninth street to the Fall
creek bridge at Millersville, thence
south to Fifty-sixth street, and east
to the fort.
Mayor L. Ert Slack expressed him
self in favor of the original route
instead of the proposed Sixty-Second
street plan. The mayor asked the
park board to push the program.
Although the park boulevard ends
at Central avenue, the city improved
the strip between Central and Belle
fontaine street and the county
paved a 24-foot strip from Belle
fontaine to Keystone avenues.

TORN NAME IS
VITAL POINT IN
ALLISON FIGHT
MutiIation of Will May Be
Issue on Which Whole
Case VIII Swing.

Upon the simple act of tearing a
name from the bottom of will may
depend victory in the battle of two
women for a 100000 fortune in
Indianapolis and Florida.
The will is that of the late James
A. Allison, Indianapolis and Miami,
Fla, capitalist, who died Aug. 3.
The will was made July 10. 1924.
Until the suit of Mrs. Sara w. ALI
son, his first wife, to admit the will
to probate, was filed before Probate
Judge Mahlon E. Bash. Wednesday,
its existence was not generally
known.
1t had been thought Allison died
intestate. His second wife, Mrs.
Lucille Mussett Allison, succeeded in
having administrators appointed
here and in Florida, on the basis of
there being no will.
Prevented From Tearing VIII
The suit says that in July of this
year Allison attempted to tear his
name from codicil to the will, but
was prevented.
This appears to be the point
about which the battle for the Al
lison fortune between the first and
second Mrs. Allison will rage.
Only examination of the will can
settle the point, lawyers say.
Judge Bash, late Wednesday, or
dered Elmer w. Stout, president of
the Fletcher American National
bank, named in the 1924 will as one
OF three trustees to carry out it,
provisions, to produce the paper in
court on or before Oct. 25.
Stout has admitted that such
document is in existence, but says
Allison's name was torn from It.
The suit says there merely was an
attempt to tear the name from the
codicil and the plaintiff contends
the main body Of the will, leaving
more than half Of the fortune to
Mrs. Allison No. l, still is in effect.
Not Named in 1924 VIII
Allison became seriously i'll almost
on the day of his marriage to Miss
Lucille Mussett, his former secre-
tary. and died five days later. So far
as developments in court have dis
closed, he did not prepare a new will
naming the second wife.
She Is not mentioned in the 1924
document, according to a copy filed
with the second wife's complaint.
The drama behind the cold type of
the complaint declaring Allison
tried to tear his name from his will
last July is expected to be unfolded
in hearings, if the original document
is produced before Judge Bash.

BY HARRY s. NEW,
sfar General

To look into the future and Wis
ualize Just what will happen in any
given line of human endeavor is a
faculty possessed, If at all, by few
mortals.
Knowing what we do, however,
about the development of rail trans
portation and of steamship lines,
and the phenomenal growth of the
automobile industry, 1t would seem
the rankest pessimism to predict
any but a glowing future for COM
mercial aviation.
1 firmly believe in the future of
the air service. The feasibility of
the airplane long has been demon
strated and everyday improvements
make it more and more practical
as q means for the quick movement
over long distances of mails, express
and of passengers.
Sees Great Advance
To the next generation the air
plane, in my opinion, will have be-
come as indispensable as is the
railroad train, the trolley car or
the family automobile to this one
The greatest step toward popu-
larizing the air mail in America
was the reduction of the postage
rate to S cents for the first ounce
August, the first month the new
rate was operative produced an in
crease Of IS er cent, or almost
double the poundage carried in
July.
1t is my earnest conviction that
succeeding months will bring
about a gradual mounting total
of air mail poundage that will
Justify the inclusion in the system
during the next twelve months of
points not now considered as Suf-
ficiently productive from the mail
standpoint to be made air mail
stops.
Plan Larger Ships
All of the tWenty-odd air mail
. contractors are busy laying plans
for larger and more efficient
ships for handling the greatly in
creased loads they visualize for
the near future.
They are confronted, however,
with the realization that still larger
ships must be devised, perhaps, be-
fore the others have served their
period of usefulness.
The growth will be restricted
only by the speed with which
: lighted airways for night flying
and adequate landing fields are
constructed.

CITY URGED TO
BREAK RECORD
FOR AIR MAIL
Oct. rs Set Aside as Day

An effort to break the local air

Business houses, luncheon clubs,

to urge every citizen to send at
least one letter by air mail to some
distant city that day.
Business houses will be asked TO
send letters, circulars and other
advertising matters to customers in
other cities in an attempt to break
the poundage record.
The mark was set Aug. l, whep
the present reduced air mail rates
went into effect. On that occasion
one Ohio firm forwarded by train
to the Indianapolis office "a pounds
of advertising matter, to be sent
from here on the air mail.
Rates Little Higher
The new air mail rates are but
slightly higher than rail mail. The
rate is 5 cents for the first ounce
and 10 cents for each additional
ounce. The ordinary mail rate for
letters is 2 cents each half ounce.
The air mail day plan was adopt
ed by Postmaster Bryson in an eff
fort to build up the regular pound

STEVE ORDERS
Forced Grand Dragon to
Back Down on CIerkShip,
Says Dry Leader.

Frank Wright, author of the
Wright 'bone-dry" law and veteran
member of the lower house of the
Indiana Legislature, today denied
that he was leader of the Ku-Klux
Khan forces in the house of rep
resentatives during the 1925 session.
He also asserted that he gave D. c.
Stephenson orders, rather than took
any from him.
Stephenson, former khan dragon,
now serving a life-term in Indiana
State Prison for murder, testified
there Monday that Wright was the
khan floor leader at that session and
identified him as the author of the
Shumaker dry bill"
Il was probably the only man on
the Republican ticket in Randolph
county, who didn't belong to the
khan" Wright declared.
Runs for Reelection
Having served for a decade and
half as Randolph county rep
resentative, Wright entered the last
session from Marion county and is
running for reelection here. If
chosen, he will fight for the speak
ership, he has asserted.
Il was backing my friend Bill
Lydel for the clerkship of the
House in 1885, Wright explained.

Stephenson had arranged to put

That's the program he declared

If you do that I'll do everything
I can to defeat every bill in which
you are interested, whether it is
good or bad told him and added,

Wright said that, Stephenson then
picked up the phone and called his
candidate for clerkship, whose name
he failed to reveal, and told him
that he must withdraw.

you can tomorrow" she whispered.
I've a letter for you"
For me? From whom?" Lila
paled at a sudden thought.
She had used Dorothy's address
only for letters from Jack Farqua-
har. 1t had been five years now
since the last of those letters had
come; it was four months since she
had received the communication that
Captain Farquahar. who had all this
time been reported missing, was
dead.
The news was so portentuous that
she hadn't stopped to marvel at its
belatedneSs, or to lament the fact
that this important communication.
which Signifled her freedom, had
been sent from pillar to post. in
some inexplicable way, for heaven
only knew how long, before it
reached Dorothy's studio.
The explanation of the DELAY was
simple; in disinterring bodies hast
lily buried on the battlefield, it had
been revealed that the remains of
Captain Farquahar were among the
supposedly unknown dead. There
was his Identification tag, etc.
Dorothy's clear eyes were reas-
surfing.
IT'S from the war department.
Il Probably something about-well,
maybe they want to know if YOU
care to bring his body back"
Lila shuddered, despite herself.
"He had no family" she
murmured. II suppose I really do
have to say"
Lila" Herbert's voice was
peremptory. He jealousy resented
even so brief conversation with
Dorothy.
Tomorrow, then" Dorothy's
gloved fingers pressed Lila's. Don't
let this upset you'll"
Easier said than done, thought
Lila, a trife resentfully. After all,
1t wasn't Dorothy who, married and
madly in love with her husband, had
the spectre of a former finance on
her conscience.
She was distract during dinner
and later, over the coffee, when
Herbert resentfully commented on
the fact, she assumed a feverish
gaiety.
1t was wearisome; also it was her
first taste of a pose that was soon
to become all too terribly necessary.
Try as she would to keep her
thoughts on Herbert, his good looks,
their new home, their love, and their
future, they would slip the leash
and play traitor.
Time after time, they took her
back into the street. A closed and
sealed chapter reopened; an episode
lived again
She sat opposite Herbert in their
charmingly intimate little library,
with only the width of the hearth
between them; with not even that
distance between their hearts and
souls.
AT least, that is what Herbert was
contentedly thinking, } while he
watched her, young and slender and
gay and lovely, pouring his coffee,
with the freight pickering on her
white arms and throat, furnishing
her bright hair, deepening the faint
roSe-color in her cheeks.
Lila's physical self was there in
TIE freight, as she smiled upon
Herbert an dlistened to his voice.
But Lila'S thoughts were back in the
past; five years back, RELYING the
events of a closed chapter in her
life that must now, at all costs. re-
main closed forever.
It was wartime again. She was
meeting Jack Farquahar.
