COUNCILMEN TO
MAKE STUDY OF
MAYO HOSPITAL
Methods for Improving City
Institution Are Sought
by Harris.

Edward W. Harris, council finance
chairman, plans to visit Mayo
Brothers Hospital next week for
the purpose of familiarizing himself
with the latest hospital methods.
Harris will be in Minneapolis at
the Rotary international conven-
ton next week and has arranged
side trip to Rochester'S famous
hospital. Councilman Herman P.
Lieber also will attend the Rotary
conclave and probably will ac-
company Harris on the hospital in
spection trip.
The finance chairman said he
hoped to get ideas about hospitals
which may be incorporated in the
City Hospital building program
contemplated by the board of
health.
Confers With Slack
"I have been at the Mayo insti-
tuition twice before and thought the
management of the Rochester hos
pital would be in a good position
to suggest methods to be incorpo-
rated locally. Their experts get over
the country and learn of the latest
methods in use in hospitals" Har-
ris said.
Harris conferred with Mayor J.
Ert Slack on the hospital ordinance
passed at the last meeting, author
izing the board of health to employ
architects, consultantS, and a power
engineer to draw detailed plans and
specifications and estimates of costs
for the hospital needs.
Bond Issue Killed
Mayor Salck returned today from
a few days rest at French Lick, Ind,
and was expected to sign the council
ordinance before the expiration of
the ten-day period provided by
statute. The ordinance is pocket
vetoed if not signed by the mayor
ten days after passage of council.
Thursday is the tenth day.
Slack said no definite steps have
been taken on the hospital project.
The board of health is awaiting
action of Slack before employing
the experts and proceeding on the
hospital program.
The council killed a $1,750,000
bond issue ordinance, refusing to
appropriate funds for the hospital
emergency until after a detailed
estimate Of proposed expenditures
is submitted by the architect and
conSultants.

SERIAL BONDS
ONLY URGED ON
!. SCHOOL WORK
Legislature Will Be Asked
to Take Action to Aid
! Financial Plan.

A bill to compel issuance only of
serial bonds by the Indianapolis
school city has been drafted by
Albert F. Walsman, school business
director, and will be submitted to
the next legislature.
Serial bonds are those maturing
over definite period of time with
regular, equal annual payments. In
the past many issues have been
floated with the principal maturing
AL in one year.
Enactment of such a law" Walls
nan said, automatically would
prevent recurrence of situation
such as the schools will face in
1939-1940, when $4,520,000 in bonds
will mature
No Bonds Mature Till 1941
The proposed bill provides no
bonds would start to mature until
1941, after the heavy payment date,
and serial payments would be pro-
vided for not more than one-fif-
teenth nor less than one twenty
fifth of the issue to mature in any
one year. No issue would extend
for more than thirty years from
date of issuance.
Another feature embodied in the
proposed bill is provision permit
ting diversion of sinking fund in
terest to the sinking fund itself, in
stead of to the tuition fund, as re-
quired now.
The proposed bill requires that
funds to meet retirement payments
as they become due be levied the
preceding year.
THE State tax board and others
interested in levying and budgeting
affairs are agreed" Walsman said,
that large accumulations in the
sinking fund are unwise, and that
serial bonds are the most desirable
method for providing funds from
bond issues"
Asks Legislators Aid
Walsman, who has made careful
study of present and future f1nan-
cial status of the school city, said
he will ask cooperation of legisla-
tive candidates of both parties in
having the proposed bill passed.
Walsman is understood to have
the support of a majority of the
board members in an effort to pre-
vent constant increase in the
amount of bonded indebtedness.
He recently cited figures to show
$12,441 900 in school bonds has been
issued since 1900, on which the city
will pay 80 cents in interest for
every dollar of bonds due, a total
of $11, ,262,667 for interest alone.
Program of the board calls for
building grade schools from taxes
each year, where sufficient funds
are permitted to be levied, and high
schools only by bond issue.
THE total bonded Indebtedness
has grown in the last twenty years
until the interest and principal pay
ments are SO great each year that
insufficient funds are left for other
needs" Walsman said.

CASHIER MISSING,
SAFE T|ME-L0CKED
Man Accused of Exiting"
Checks Prevents Vault From
Opening for Three Days.
BY the Associated Press.


GROVELAND, Fla, october 81
Discovery of evidence that j. H. High
tower, missing cashier of the Bank of
Groveland, had engaged in the practice
of "kiting" checks before he set a 72-
hour time lock on the vault and then
disappeared was announced today by
George c. White, State bank examiner.
White said he had discovered several
instances in which Hightower had
manipulated the banks funds for his
own use, and charged also that the
cashier had left here with $1,000 in
cash belonging to the institution.
The time lock on the vault is not due
to open until tomorrow at the expira-
tion of the 72-hour period. Meanwhile
bank officials are checking the cashiers
accounts, and authorities have insti-
tuted search on warrant charging him
with larceny of $4,000.
Hightower was bonded for $4,000,
and the bank was capitalized for that
amount, but P. B. Ruggles, president,
said he believed there was about $4,000
on hand in the institution before the
cashier disappeared.
Hightower, who Is about 81 years old,
has wife and two children. He came
here from Raleigh. N. c., several years
ago after his trial and acquittal on
charges of completely in the failure of
the Central Bank & Trust Co. there,
bank officials said.

Find Trace of Race
That Vanished 700
Years Ago in West
Minnesota Scientists Re-
port Tribe Lived i'm New
Mexico Valley.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MINNEAPOLIS, october 31--Evi-
dence of the history of race which
lived in the Mimbres Valley in New
Mexico centuries ago. and which, as
far as the evidence shows, apparently
vanished about TOO years ago, was given
by DR.. Albert E. jerks, chairman of the
department of anthropology at the Uni
verSity of Minnesota, in a lecture at
the Minneapolis Institute of Arts last
night.
DR.. jerks reported to members of
the institute on the findings of it's ex-
pedition into the Mimbres Valley last
Summer and which he headed.
The race studied is estimated to have
lived in the valley from about the time
of Christ until about TOO years ago.
DR.. jerks told of the finding of beau
tiful pieces OF pottery of strange de-
sign, Of stone and adobe houses, built
one layer upon another, and Of peculiar
burial customs.
Nearly all of the pottery found in
the excavations we made were kill
pieces" said DR.. jerks. THAT is. each
one had small hole broken into its
bottom before being buried with q dead
person.
THE name kill has been given these
mutilated pieces because of the belief
that the people who used them broke
them to kill them so that the spirit
of the vessel, supposedly the favorite
of the person with whom 1t was buried,
might leave the vessel at the same
time the dead persons spirit left hts
body"
The bodies were found buried Just
below the adobe floors. In nearly every
case a bowl, with its bottom punc-
tured, was found placed over the
cranial bones of the skeleton.

situation In nearby Maryland and

Stan Correspondent OF The Star.
FREDERICKSBURG, Va, october
s1.-There probably never has been a
hotter political campaign in Fredericks-
burg and Spotsylvania County than
that which is today being waged by
adherents of Gov. Smith and Herbert
Hoover.
Normally this city and county are
Democratic by a safe majority. This
year the Smith Democratic leaders adj
NIT the majority for the Democratic
nominee for President will be cut
tremendously probably to 100 in Fred
ericksburg and to similar figure in
the county outside. The opposition to
Smith includes many Democrats, as
well as the old-line Republicans, who
say they can carry this city and county
for Hoover and are doing their level
best to prove it,
They are meeting with stiff opposi-
ton from the pro-Smith regular Demo-
Gratis and each day, as the time for
balloting draws nearer, the battle grows
livelier. On nearly every street corner,
in nearly every store or other place
of business, day and night, as much, or
more, time is spent in talking politics
as in discussing any other subject
Nearly everybody-man and woman,
too-iS developing into a politician, with
the sole exception of that big army Of
silent voters" who are found here
and in the county, the same as else
where in Virginia and throughout the
country. These are the voters who
intend to take advantage of the pro-
lection extended by the secret provision
of the Virginia Constitution and vote
as they please without anybody else
being the wiser.
The Star correspondent came to
Fredericksburg from Charlottesville
passing through the rural section OF
Albemarle, Orange and Spotsylvania
Counties en- route. Prior to that he had
studied the political situation in the
Shenandoah Valley from Winchester to
Staunton, from which place he crossed
the Blue Ridge to the Atlantic slope.
Political conditions were found to be
much the same east of the Blue Ridge
as in the vasley on the west side.
Smith Praised and Fought.
There is much argument here IN IA
vor of Gov. Smith by his adherents,
who point to his record of progressive
legislation in his home State of New
York, his promise of relief for the farm
ers, his honesty in facing the evils
that have grown up in connection with
the efforts to suppress the liquor traf-
f1c," his effort to solve that problem
and his attractive personal character

Fight Outside Own State
for Last Time.

up for Final Plea to Voters
Election Eve.
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, october 31.-Gov
Smith will carry his fight for the presi-
dency outside the borders of his home
State for the last time tonight, when
he motors into New Jersey for speech
at Newark, a city only recently evac-
uated by his Republican opponent.
Returning to his headquarters here
Immediately after the address, the Dem
ocratic presidential nominee will spend
tomorrow in preparation for his twin
effort to swing New York into line with
speeches in Brooklyn and this city Fri
day and Saturday.
Fifty-nine votes in the electoral COL
lege are at stake in New Jersey and
its neighbor State Of New York, and
Gov. Smith believes his chances are
good for bagging them all. despite the
fact that only once In the last quadren-
nial elections have they been found in
the Democratic column. This was in
the tricornered race of 1912, when Will
son carried both States.
See Different Picture.
President Coolidge had a plurality of
more than 375,000 four years ago in
DaviS-La Toilette vote by approximate
ly 100000. Smith campaign managers,
however, see different picture there
this year and long have held that State
to be debatable territory.
What the Democratic nominee will
choose for his text tonight in Newark
had not been announced from the
Smith camp today. 1t was considered
likely, however, that he would devote
good portion of the speech to an
appeal to the laboring classes, inasmuch
as Herbert Hoover chose this topic for
his Newark address.
Tentative plans call for the governors S
departure from the Hotel Biltmore after
dinner for the 20-mile drive to Newark
by way of the Holland Tunnel and
Jersey City. Mayor Hague of that city,
who arranged the monster reception for
the nominee at Seagirt, N. j., shortly
after his notification. was making
preparations today for the second
Democratic invasion Of the State.
May Take Part in Parade.
The New York executive had not
been apprised just what the Jersey
City mayor had in store for him in
the way of a welcome, but it was be-
lieyed the departure here would be so
timed as to permit the nominee to par
ticipate in a torchlight parade before
reaching his destination.
Whether Gov. Smith Will stick to his
original plan to wind up his speaking
campaign in Madison Square Garden
Saturday night, or consent to make a
final radio appeal to the electorate
Monday night is subject of much
discussion around headquarters here.
Although no official announcement has
been made, it is understood that ne
gotiations for a radio contract on elec-
ton eve are proceeding with view to
having the hook-up ready should the
nominee decide to speak for the first
time on the same night with his op-
ponent.
