BY HENRY WOOD

GENEVA, May 4.-The United
States won another victory in the
current disarmament discussions to-
day when Ambassador Hugh S. Glib
sons resolution for full publicity on
matters pertaining to war materials
| as a means Of limitation was adopt
ed by the preparatory disarmament
commission by an overwhelming
vote.
Twenty-Five nations voted in favor
Of the resolution. Only Two. China
and Soviet Russia. voted against the
project Germany purposedly
abstained from voting.
Berlin Delegate Pecyed
Count De Massigl, chief OF the
French delegation to the commits

that France was willing to withdraw

Following the adoption OF. the
German delegate, announced he was
obliged TO withdraw from all the
responsibility arising from the fll-
ture deliberations of the commission.
He declared Germany never could
accept any disarmament convention
which does not provide for actual
reduction in naval, military and
aerial ornaments.
And as the commission rejected
the German proposal for direct
limitation. he said. Germany would
be obliged to leave the response
hility of future deliberations to the
commissions majority. which is
making all the decisions.
Soviet Against Plan
Maxim Litvinoff. the Soviet dele
gate, announced he voted against
the publicity resolution because 1t
constituted an abandonment of the
principle Of limitation.
The resolution, originally spon-
sored by Nicolas Politis of Greece,
holds that the commission, having
rejected the Soviet and German
proposals for direct limitation, and
having noted that the French pro-
posal for budgetary limitation failed
to meet with THE general assent of
the commission. limitation and
reduction OF war materials must be
sought by means Of publicity Of ex-

Pioneer died again. Then, in
the late '90s, a syndicate of
Englishmen came in and prepared
to use modern dredges on the old
placer claims.
The syndicate became involved
in litigation over the old mining
claims, however, and finally went
broke without having turned a
shovelful of earth. Their aban-
doned dredge still remains in a
gulch near the old town.
Then Pioneer died in earnest.

Widow of so Declares He
Promised Marriage and
Deserted Her.

BH Times Special
DUBLIN, Ind, Dec. u.-Deserted
by her prospective husband at the
altar on Christmas, set as her we'd
ding day, is the allegation of Mrs
Edna B. Reed, SO, Dublin, in suit
in the Randolph county circuit court
at Winchester against Charles B
Kepler, 81. She alleges breach of
promise and asks $25 900 damages
Both parties are well known in
Wayne county. Mrs. Reed is the
widow of DR.. Ernest Reed, formerly
of Dublin, who was graduated from
medical schools of Indiana univer-
sity and the University of Michi-
gan.
For a number of years DR..
Reed was engaged in chemical re-
search work for the H. K. Mulford
Company at Philadelphia. His
widow is the daughter of the late
Captain Allen D. Bond, a lifelong
resident of Dublin and widely known
over the state. Captain Bond served
as a member of the staff of Gov
ernor Allen P. Hovey of Indiana.
For several terms he was sheriff Of
Wayne county.
Served in Civil War
He served as captain in the
Eighty-fourth Indiana volunteer in
fantry during the Civil war. He
was a thirty-third degree Mason
and held high rank in the Scottish
Rite, knights Templar, knights of
PythiaS and Odd Fellows.
Kepler, retired farmer, lives at
Centerville.
The case was sent to the Ran
dolph circuit court on change of
venue from the Wayne circuit court
at Richmond. Mrs. Reed, she alleges
in her suit, that in November, 1924,
the defendant promised to marry
her and that the date of the we'd
ding was set for Dec. Is, 1925. Mrs.
Reed further states that friends
were informed of the engagement
date generally announced.
The arrangements for the we'd
ding were completed and the de-
fendant, Mrs. Reed alleges, had
promised to take her to Florida to
spend the remainder of the winter.
When Christmas day arrived the
wedding did not materialize, she
claims, as the defendant did not ap-
pear for the ceremony.
Humiliation Is Charged
She further states in her COM
plant that grief and humiliation
caused her to become i'll.
The Bond family is one of the
oldest families in Wayne county
For several years Mrs. Reed has
made her home with her mother
at the old farm home of the Bond
family adjoining Dublin. Mrs. Reed
and her mother came into much
prominence when county officers by
force elected them from the old
homestead where many Of the
Bonds were born, reared and died
The farm had become heavily
mortgaged, the Prudential 1nsur-
ance Company being the mort
gagee. At the time, Mrs. Reed and
her mother declared the officers bad
subjected them to harsh treatment
and that Mrs. Bond, 80, a soldiers
widow, then under the care of two
physicions, was corced to vacate the
home during inclement weather,
which later resulted in a prolonged
illness.

II nope to see the time when
every school corporation in the state
will receive aid from the state
through indirect taxation" Free de-
cIared.
Indirect Tax Needed
"Lower taxes for every locality
are necessary and through an in
direct tax, this can be accomplished
without any one feeling the cost
of the schools in the same manner
that roads are built and maintained
through gasoline taxes.
Through higher tax appraisals
the richer counties have to support
the schools in the poorer counties
under the present system of taxa
ton. This palpably is unfair and
| imposes a great burden.
Indirect taxation is the answer
and if it is true that the present
Constitution will not permit this
form of taxation, then every man
and woman in the state who is in
terested in education should climb
upon the housetopS and shout for
constitutional revision.
"Not every township is in a bank
rupt condition, but all over the
statesthey are In poor condition.
"Tf1e fault also lies in inadequate
local taxation. Many townships
which are able to afford a higher
school levy adhere to the $12O limit
and expect the state to defray the
remainder" Free charged.
Explains Budget Law
Greenberry G. Low, of the state
board of accounts, explained the
budget law passed by the 1929 gen.
eral assembly and held a round table
discussion.
Resolutions bearing directly upon
the bankrupt conditions of township
schools were to be drafted late this
