FIND JOKER
IN JACKSON'S
TAX SLASH
Half Of State Treasury
Balance to Be Needed
TO Meet Deficit.
RECEIPTS SHOW DROP
Budget Board Discovers
Boost of 7 Cents in Rate
May Be Needed.

A joker in Governor Ed Jackson'S
vaunted S4,000,000 balance in the
state treasury when he left office
Jan. 10 was pointed out today by
the state budget committee.
At least $2,300,000 of the balance
will be eaten up this fiscal year TO
meet taxation deficit caused by the
state tax board during Jackson's
own administration.
The 1927 legislature fixed a tax
rate of 25 cents. which the state tax
board cut to % cents. The legisla-
ture had authorized expenditures of
approximately s13,000,000 during
1929 The estimated receipts upon
the cut tax rate and from fees will
be about $2.300000 less than the
amount the legislature has provided
state department heads may spend.
The only place the $2.3o0,00O can
come from is out of the Jackson
reserve, Lawrence Orr, chief exam
iner of the state board of accounts,
pointed out.
The budget indicates the tax rate
may have to be raised about seven
cents for 1880 and 1881.
To bring the state institutions and
departments. including elementary
schools and the higher educational
institutions to proper basis, it will
be necessary to increase the tax levy

MEETS DEATH CAL LMLY
BY ROSS DOWNING
United Press staff Correspondent


ROCKVIEW PENTTENTIARY,
BELLEFONTE, Pa, Jan. 21.-The
state of Pennsylvania electrocuted
today its most notorious criminal
Paul Jawarski, slayer of score of
men.
Aroused from sleep at $50 a. m.
by prison officials and served with
breakfast, Jawarski was taken into
the death chamber at a. M, and a
few minutes later his criminal
career was ended in the electric
chair.
This, -year-old leader of pay roll
bandits and murderer, who boasted
that he had killed at least two
dozen men, died as he had lived,
with sneer on his lips for the laws
of both COD and man.
He refused to give permission for
a minister ID render religious con-
ISOLATION to him at life'S end.
He refused to seem concerned over
the fate the laws of the state had
decreed for him.
Inulnerent at Death
He walked twenty-five feet from
his death cell to the electric chair
between two prison guards and met
with an air of indifference the death
for which he said, 81 am ready"
"It would be against my belief
as I have preached atheism all my
life," Jawarski told prison authori-
ties when they insisted that he have
the attention of the prison chaplain.
With his hair clipped and attired
in a prison shirt and a pair of blue
trousers with the left leg split to
the knee, Jawarski was led into the
death chamber and strapped into
the electric chair, over which hung
a large electric lamp so shaded as
to make dim shadows about the
room.

Second Slayer Dies
Receiving signal from the prison
warden the electrocutioner pushed

dead by the prison physician at 7:O6

He takes the carefully gathered
Darwinian evidence on the de-
scent of man from an ape-like
creature and unceremoniouSly
6iscards is as mscientific.
There is no evidence which
would show man developing step
by step from lower forms of life
he said. There is nothing to
show that man was in any way
connected with monkeys.
NTAN appeared in the Pliocene
N1 age, just preceding the
ice age. He appeared suddenly
and in substantially the same
form as he is in today. There is
not the slightest evidence of his
existence before that time.
HE appeared able to walk,
able TO think and able to defend
himself.
There are no such things as
missing links. Missing links are
misinterpretations. Fossil skulls,
which have been dug up and adj
vanced as missing links showing
connection between man and
monkey. all have been shown as
misinterpretations."
Just what life is we do not
know" Clark says. "All living
substance is composed of elements
found also in inorganic sub
stances, though in the bodies of
animals and of plants these ele-
ments are combined in forms
peculiar to living substance.
80 we may consider life as the
ability. confined to groups of cer-
tain complex carbon compounds,
to increase in bulk indefinitely in
such a way and In such varied
forms as shall enable the increase
to take place to the best advan-
tage."
All life tends to produce GER
tain forms dissimilar to itself, the
scientist said, and when these
forms happen to be created under
a favorable environment. they
survive as a new type of plant or
animal. :
From some quadEuped, or maybe
biped, man actually sprung, Clark
offers as theory, not as an abb
normality but in one broad leap
to existence as man is known to-
day. The environment was right
and man lived. Clark believes that
man may have been born and died
many times until his creation
happened under the right en-
vironment.

President Garfield Crew,
154 Men, Remain Aboard,
Vessel Not Leaking.

BH UHtted Press
NEW ORLEANS, La, Jan. 21.--
Eighty three passengers, grounded
from the steamer President Gar
field, stranded off the Florida coast,
were landed at Nassau at noon to-
day, according to wireless reports
reaching here.
The passengers we're landed
from the Munson liner, Pan-Ameri-
can. which rescued them from the
disabled Garfield, the message said.
The President Garfield was so lit
tie damaged by going on the Nassau
Shoals off Florida that she will be
refloated Tuesday and continue her
around the world cruise, officials of
the steamship company announced
today.
The 154 members of the crew,
mostly Chinese, waited aboard the
President Garfield for the arrival
of five naval vessels rushing to the
assistance of the disabled steamer.
The President Garfield is lying in
the little Bahama shoals, seventy
five miles east of Ft. Pierce, on the
Florida coast.
The vessel was not taking water
and it had been unnecessary to man
the pumps. according to word last
received by radio. The extent of
damage done to the bottom of the
liner is as yet undetermined.
Last Thursday the President Gar
field put out from this port with a
passenger list of eighty three bound
on cruise around the world.
Havana was to have been the first
port of call. At 7:25 a. m, Thurs
day a distress message was sent out
which attracted several vessels. The
Pan America, being closest, was per-
mitted to effect the rescue.

Cat StoWaway Rides With
Mail From Cincinnati to
St. Paul and Back.

CTRUT, holder of the cats
- record for air travel, is back
by the fireside at his Cincinnati
home, meditating on his thrilling
experience in which he tried a
little feline wing walking over In
dianapolis airport.
Struts achievements will go
down in the annals of catdom.
A playful mechanic slipped him
into the baggage compartment of
an Elnbry- Riddle air mail plane
at Cincinnati recently and Pilot
Tom Hill. who discovered him at
tempting to break loose from his
cardboard cage, left him with
Donald A. Mcconnell at Indian
apolis airport to inferno until Hill
returned from Chicago next day.
But Srut had plans of his own,
and when Charles Wehrung, who
relieved Hill the next day, was
soaring away from the Indian
apolis airpart for Chicago, he dis
covered Strut climbing over the
mail in the forward cockpit to
visit bit with the pilot.
The blast from a 100-mile-an-
hour speed doesn't make the
cowling of a Waco biplane a very
safe catwalk, and Wehrung nearly
wrecked his plane keeping it n
it's course with one hand AID
rescuing Strut with the other.
Thereafter, the grateful kitten
snuggled into Wehrung's lap and
behaved until they landed at the
Chicago municipal airport.
"I'll take him back In the
morning" Wehrung decided.
Strut must have read his
thoughts. That night he caught
fat mouse, gorged his tun1rny,
and crawled into a tri-motored
Ford monoplane for a little shut
eve session.

STATE HALTS
AUTO GRAB BY
HIGHWAY BOSS
Williams Wants Licenses
for 1900 Cars; Has
Nearly 100 Less.
FIFIELD BLOCKS MOVE
Road Director Has Ignored
Budget, Report Rules,
Inquiry Shows.

When Director John d. Williams
of the state highway department
asked for 1900 automobile license
plates for 1929, which is nearly 100
more plates than the department
has trucks and cars, his carte
blanche order failed to go through
the Office of Secretary of State Otto
G. Fifeld, as it has done in former
years. it was learned by The Indian
apolis Times today.
Attention of Fifield and James 3.
Bradley, head of the licensing diYi-
sion, was called to the fact that in
1928 Williams department drew
1850 plates for 1855 machines. The
department. this year is said to have
forty new machines, but asked for
ninety -four extra plates.
1t was explained by department
officials that the extra plates came
in handy when one was lost and the
like. Danger of using them on
private machines was pointed out
and Fifield says that he will ask
Attorney-G General James Nj. Ogden
for an opinion regarding the legality
of issuing plates en- masse, without
registration.
Rules Are Ignored
According to examiners checking
the licensing bureau. the law re-
quires registration of each state car
in the regular manner, except that
plates are issued free.
his instance of the highway de-
partment ignoring the rules as ap-
piled to other departments is but
another of the general trend fol-
lowed under Williams directions,
said legislators.
The statutes of 1917 order "thc
chief Of each state Office, board,
commission. department, bureau.
and institution" to present annually,
on or before Dec. 1. an annual re-
port for publication in the Indiana
Year Book.
Year Book Held Up
In 1927 the highway department
entirely ignored this law and in
1928 brought in a combined report
for two years, several weeks late.
The year book is being held up
for the highway report. it was stated
in the legislative reference library
today. All other departments arc
in. It already is f1fty-one days late
