REGISTRATION
BILL BLOCKED
Voter Draft Fails to Pass in
Senate.

Lacking but two votes, the perma-
nent voter registration bill failed OF
constitutional majority in the
senate today. Another attempt will
be made to pass it.
Senator Winfield Miller, who
sponsored the measure which al
ready has passed the house, scored
it's opponents for criticising regis
tration costs.
The bill provides that the county
auditor appoint deputies to take the
first registration at 10 cents a name
and thereafter the voters change
their names on the poll book when
moving into new precinct. Sig
natures are to be checked under the
bills provision. Its introduction
was sponsored by the Indiana
League of Women Voters.
Senator Perry Johnson, Atlanta,
switched his support to meet the
Republican committees wishes as
ne did on the primary repeal bill.
Taking the floor against the regis
tration bill he declared that it
would cost the state $750,00O for the
first registration and $4,000 a year
thereafter. He urged that the state

NIT drives into the business dis

Forced on a diet several years
ago, his greatest delight was to play
hockey from the doctors, take his
chauffeur, Arthur Wesson, and
drive to French Lick Springs, where
he had large holdings.
The program of the drives was
always the same, according to Wes-

comment of James Marshall, Negro
butler for Mr.. Taggart for the last
eighteen years, when informed OF
his death.
1T was only yesterday that he
said Good morning, James There
was no one else like him" reiterated
the butler, with a shake of the head.
Due to his ill-health, his meals in
the last few years have consisted
for the most part of baked apples,
orange juice, oatmeal and toast.
Mr.. Taggart's ability to remember
names and faces was one of the
traits which aided him to political
success, according to his friends.
HE had a great faculty for re-
Numbering names" City Controller
Sterling r. Holt recalled. He
would meet a man in my Office one
day and call him by name the
next. He always was kind to poor
people and treated them the same
as his wealthier friends"
To City Controller Holt belongs
some of the credit for starting Mr.
Taggart on the path to political
fame
Back in 1886, when the Demo-
cratic ticket was picked around
some party leaders fireside, Holt
went to the Union station reStau-
rant, which Taggart was operating,
to persuade Taggart to become can
didate for county auditor. Taggart
laughed at the proposal.
Il remember We walked from the
Union station to Illinois and Wash
ington streets" said Holt. "Tom
had had no experience in politics
and was doubtful as to advisability
Of running. Finally, he slapped me
on the shoulder and said, Well, I'll
run, anyway
Later he came to me and asked
that I become candidate for
mayor. But I told him I had too
many business interests. Tom,
you're the man. I told him. He
was a progressive mayor and got
things done"
Mr.. Taggart avoided political
speeches early in his career. His
first public political speech was
made in 1898 at Calvin's Grove,
Nineveh township, johnson county.
eThe late Senator Samuel M. Raj
Ston and Mayor L. Ert Slack drove
to the scene with Mr.. Taggart in a
carriage.
Thomas Taggart joined Indian
apoIis lodge No. Sc, Knights of
Pythias, in 1888, it was announced
today by Morris Breunig, master of
finance. In his forty-siX years of
membership, Taggart supported
many lodge projects. His principal
activity was his contribution to the
start of the fund for the K. Of P.
home at Lafayette, Ind.

MOTOR FOUND
To Be SOURCE
OF RADIO GRIEF
Serious Trouble Revealed
Near Sixteenth and
Pennsylvania.

The radio interference that has
been bringing grief to the fans
around Sixteenth and North Penn
sylvania streets, has been found
coming from the lighting plant of
the Penn Motor Inn.
The Times radio interference man
found that the generator which
makes the current, for the building
is in bad condition as far as radio
is concerned.
1t is 220-volt system that runs
an air pump, later pump motor, six
heat circulation fans, and the Neon
sign. All the motors have some
interference on radio.
Volume Is Great
The inside test was made and the
volume was so great that it was i'm
possible to tune out the interference
at any point on the dials out or the
street. The test proves that the
trouble that all the apartment
houses within two blocks, in all
directions, were having on the radio
comes from this point.
The man in charge said that they
had been working on this system TOR
the last week and that this motor
had been in operation for more
than a year.
In The district covered by this
interference there are many large
apartment buildings, also hundreds
of radio sets, all grounded to the
steam heating system in the apart
ment.
Network Is Formed
This same system forms net
work in the basement of the garage
over the motors, causing the inter-
ference. The water system of the
city in turn is a pickup Of this
trouble, rebroadcaSting it over a
wide section of the north Size.
The owners of this garage have
been notified and it is hoped this
Seson will be cleared up, so fans
again can enjoy an evening at
home, listening to their favorite
stations.
'Tiae radio interference that has
given the whole north side trouble
has Ssen partly cleared around Col
lege a%snue and Seventeenth street.
Tr-o street lights had bad insula-
te..s and have been replaced by the
If dlanapolis Power and Light Com
paAy.
The constant A. C. hum still re-
mains on the air in this section and
both The Times interference man
and the power and light company
are working to clear the air of this
unpleasant noise.
The Times interference man
hopes to have this section cleared
this week. If radio reception has
improved any in the last two nights,
please let us know by mail.

TEACHERS BILL
PROVES LARGE
BITE FOR HOUSE
Fifteen New Acts Tossed
in LaWmaking Mill at
Session.

Teacher tenure repeal and utility
valuation were big morsels in the
mouthful of legislation bitten off to-
day by the house OF representatives.
Fifteen bills were introduced in a
brief morning session and sent to
committee to join the twenty-five
referred to them Wednesday.
Outright repeal of the teacher
tenure law enacted in 1927 was the
object of the measure introduced by
Representative Harlan R. Denton
Dem, Owen and Putnam) and
John w. Shaffer (Rep, Greene. 1t
was sent to the committee on edu-
cation.
The utilities measures, backed by
farmers organizations and in
troduced by Representatives Truman
G. Murden CRep. Cass), and Charles
M. Trowbridge (Rep. Henry and
Rush. would require that for pur-
poses of taxation, the value of a
utility could not be less than its
valuation for rate making purposes
The bill went to judiciary A COM
mittee of which j. Glenn Harris
(Rep. Lake., is chairman.
Creation of an old age assistance
commission of three members, ap-
pointed by the Governor, and of ole
age assistance boards of seven in
each county to administer a pension
not exceeding 81 a day, to INDECENT
persons over so would be provided
by a bill introduced by Representa-
tive Thomas A. E. Cantweli, Terre
Haute.
The measure carries an appropri-
alton of $4,000 annually and would
require counties to share expansion
of the pension system equally with
the state. 1t was sent to judiciary
B. committee.
Creation OF separate superior
courts in Delaware and Grant coun-
ties is proposed in two bills intro
duced by Representatives Isaac N.
Trent, Sam J. Farrell, Oran W. Gro
mer and j. c. Knight of the affected
counties. The two are now joined
in the Delaware Grant judicial cir
cult.
