HITS PAWN PRACTICE
Judge Rules Selling Owners
Stolen Goods Illegal.

Practice of pawn shop owners
charging persons from whom goods
have been stolen and pawned in
their shops a fee to regain posses
sion was scored in Criminal Court
Friday by Judge James A. Collins.
Collins said he would write to
Jerry Kinney, detective chief, urg-
ing him to investigate the matter
and to inform detectives that pawn
brokers have no title to stolen prop
erty that has been identified by
owners.
The matL3r came to light when
evidence was presented in the
burglary case against Orville Sedan,
Leroy Foster and Harry Fairfield.
The men pleaded guilty to steal
ing machine shop tools. They spe-
officially are charged with the theft
of tools from the Acme Tool and
Machine Company, June 8.
Judge Collins asked Deputy Pros
ecutor John L. Niblack if the
workmen in the shops had received
their tools. Niblack said they had
not because they were unable to
pay the pawn shop.

Trench Coats Innovations
in College Styles This
Fall.

The trench coat is the latest
sartorial wrinkle on Indiana cam
puSes.
Little else is an innovation in the
shops of clothiers this autumn, in
yestigation shows.
Browns are being pushed for
suitings, but new stocks of &C
cessories include the familiar gay
braces, pebble grained shoes and
plain-colored or simple-patterned
ties.
The suit must be three-button
style; the hat must reflect a de-
cided English atmosphere; shirts
must be of solid color or small, neat
pattern, and sox appeal may be
OBJ, at d with small-patterned
ligh> weight wool hose, black being
popular just at present.
The college mans two-piece I'M
derwear is just about the biggest
item in his wardrobe. A lot Of it
IS silk, it is loud or conservative;
there is no middle ground.
One downtown merchant predicts
that in two years there will be no
more Knockers on the golf course.
Flannel trousers will replace them.
They're already doing 1t out east
and eastern collegians sets the pace.
They started the yellow slicker, the
pearl gray hat, and the trench coat
vogue.

PROMPT ACTION
PROMISED ON
SCHOOL LEvIES
State Board Hears Kicks on
Proposed County and
City Taxes.

Prompt action on the Marion
county and Indianapolis school city
levies was assured by the State tax
board today. Hearing on remon-
strances to the proposed county rate
of 1926 cents and the Indianapolis
school levy of $1.03 was held by the
board Friday in the House of Rep
resentatives.
Protests on both levies had been
filed by the Indiana Taxpayers as
ISOLATION. They objected to a .Oo5-
cent increase in the county gravel
fund and urged that the proposed
100000 of the $4,000 school def
cit be spread over a longer period
than a year, thus making it posi-
BILE to reduce the rate proposed for
1929.
Most of the time was consumed,
however, in a long list of school
budget objections prepared by the
civic affairs committee of the Cham
Der of Commerce.
Discussion of the items caused
numerous verbal clashes between
William H. Book of the Chamber
and Albert F. Walsman, school bust
ness director.
The Chamber recommendations
would cut 1887, $4,000 from the bud
get for the last six months of 1928
and $219,406.1 from the 1929 budget,
thus making .98-cent rate possible,
they contend.
Largest 1929 reductions included
elementary school alterations cut
from $4,000 to $4,000; elementary
school repairs from $l65, 900 to $145.-
600; Arsenal Technical High School
repairs from $4,000 to $4,000: a
$4,000 cut on interest on debt pro-
posed at $532, ITO; supplementary
books for elementary schools from
$4,000 to $4,000; Arsenal Technical
furniture and equipment $40 900 to
$4,000; a $27,700 cut in public Ii
brary items, including $4,000 in
salaries.

TOLL BRIDGES
Aim to Cut Number of

B,y Times SpectdE
WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.-Toll
bridges will be subjected to special
investigation by Congress next ses-
sion.
Thomas H. Macdonald, chief Of
the U. S. Bureau of Public Roads,
announced today that he was hav-
ing a survey made Of all such struc-
lures with view of urging legisla-
ton to reduce the number OF
privately owned toll bridges unless
arrangements are made to permit
them ultimately to become public
property.
"The position the bureau is TAX
ing is that although there is no
reason why there should not be toll
bridges, franchises covering them
should provide for eventual public
possession" Macdonald said.
Macdonald says that the present
tax laws governing toll bridges are
jeopardizing legitimate road I'M
provements.
Recently one toll bridge collapsed
in Arkansas before any traffic
passed over it, while in Arizona an
other such structure was washed
away by floods" he said.
"As a result bridge bonds, which
we're much in demand on the mar
ket a short time ago, have taken
decided slump. The market for
legitimate bridge enterprises is be-
ing Sc oiled by unsound toll securl-
ties being placed on the market"

CURTIS ORDERED
IN BED TO REST
BEFORE STUMP
Returns to Chicago After
Speech at Gary; Starts
West Sunday.
BY KENNETH G. CRAWFORD
United Press STAFF Corresnondent

CHICAGO, Oct. g. Senator
Charles Curtis, Republican vice
presidential nominee, was under
physicians orders to remain in bed
at his hotel here today, but friends
expected him to be up and around
before night.
The primary object of Curtis Chi
cago visit was to give him an OPP
portunity to rest. Since his arrival
last Tuesday, however, he has been
busy constantly either with work or
recreation.
Starts Tour Sunday
Wednesday he held a series of
conferences and addressed a political
meeting; Thursday he attended the
horse races, and Friday he made
eight speeches on an automobile
tour OF northern Indiana.
What little time was left over he
devoted to correspondence.
His doctor protested without effect
against all this activity, especially
the Indiana trip. He finally con-
sented to it on the condition that
Curtis go to bed for a complete rest
before starting his tour Of the
Northwest Sunday.
The Senator agreed with reserva-
tons. If he feels we'll and the con-
f1nement is irksome, he reserved the
right to get up. He has no engage
ments, however, and probably will
not leave his hotel.
Talks Prosperity
The sore throat from which he
has been suffering for more than
a week was irritated by Fridays
exertion, but it is expected to be
improved enough by Monday night
to stand the speech he is scheduled
to make at Devils Lake, N. D.
