circumstances.

least injured, had started for help,
which he obtained from farmer and
his wife living about two miles dis

fortunate that their injuries were not
more serious

Can, where he was president Of the
Dominion Stucco company and where
he had wide and successful expert
ence in introducing Zonolite products
to the Canadian trade. He is also a
director of The Zonolite company.
Samples Of the product received by
Mr.. Alley from the new plant are very
high grade and it is confidently be-
lieved will soon develop heavy de-
mand throughout the Mississippi val
ley district.
The new plant at Joliet Is located on
belt line that cuts all railroads lead
ing into Chicago and thus gives the
plant the best of shipping facilities, as
well as connections at Chicago for
water shipments over the Great Lakes.
With the new plant in operation better
freight rates will be available, espec-
tally on less than carload lots. This
is an important factor in developing a
business against competing materials,
said Mr.. Alley.
The local plant is operating steadily
in response to the growing demand
for the product
Many architects in Montana are now
specifying the use of Zonolite for
plaster and other purposes in many
buildings. The new high school now
being built at Shelby will use Zonolite
plaster.
1t is anticipated that by spring when
building starts it will be necessary
to build a tram from the mine to tina
railroad to keep up with the grow
ing demand for Zonolite.

Board Asks Auditor Be
Compelled to Ignore
Scent Slash.

Suit to compel the county auditor
to gnore the scent cut in the school
city budget ordered by the state tax
board, and to mandate the county
treasurer to collect taxes on the
rate of a 81 school levy, has been
filed in circuit court by Indianapo-
lis school commissioners.
This is a step in the fight of the
board to prevent elimination of the
scent sinking fund levy.
When the $101 school rate for
next year was appealed to the state
take board, that body struck off 5
cents by eliminating the sinking
fund levy and another 1 cent by
going through the budget and re-
ducing various appropriations.
The suit, filed by Baker & Dan
ielS, attorneys for the board, con-
tend failure to collect the sinking
fund levy is violation of the law,
that it will endanger the credit of
the school system and that interest
on the outstanding bonds must be
paid.
Indiana statutes are cited to show
that Auditor Harry Dunn lis not
authorized by law, nor by said &C
ton of the state board of tax COM
missioners to reduce the tax levy
presented him" by the school board
so far as based on the sinking
fund item below the said sum of
$3.50 OOO."
Also it is stated that Treasurer
Clyde E. Robinson is mot authorized
by law nor by the action of the tax
board to fail to collect taxes for the
full amount of the levy without re-
duction in respect to the sinking
fund"

BIZ United Press
Jail Inmates Protest
BIZ United Press

By United Press
PHOENIX, Ariz., Oct. 30-Wom-
en- prisoners in the county Jail here,
including one Negress accused of
murder, have protested over the
prospects of being cellmates of Mrs.
Winnie Ruth Judd, confessed slayer
of two former friends, the United
Press was told today.
The NegresS, Lula Searcy, So, was
said to be prejudiced definitely
against sleeping in the same room
with a person who admittedly dis
membered one body and packed two
in trunks for shipment to Los An
geles. A hazard of "haunts" is too
great in such cases, she believes.
There are five prisoners in the
women's section of the Jail-a large
room on the fifth floor of the city
and county building. They live to-
gether in the one big room.
Indications are, the United Press
learned unofficially, that separate
cell, isolated from all others, will be
prepared for Mrs. Judd. Jail at
PENDANTS and county authorities,
however, refused to deny or confirm
this report. They also refused to
discuss reports of the alleged pro-
test other than to say there was
nothing official" about it.
Mrs. Searcy is the only one being
held on a charge of murder. She
was arrested Sunday at ella Bend,
a desert town eighty miles south
west of here, after the body of How
Ard Davis, middle-aged white
man, was found on her doorstep.
Davis, according to the complaint,
visited the women'S hovel in search
for liquor and was shot when he
refused to go away. His body was
found several hours later by pas
Sersby en- route to church.
The NegreSS, in an unconcerned
manner, admitted the shooting, Of
ficerS said. Her prejudice against
Mrs. Judd, the United Press in
formant said, was based on that
messy cutting up business" rather
than because of the double murder
accusations.
One pleasure Mrs. Judd will do
without is listening to radio music
and Sherlock Holmes thrillers, a
pastime she enjoyed, according to
her letters. There are no recrea-
tional devices whatsoever in the
Jail and the women have no work
to do other than keeping her
quarters clean.

I'm sorry, but you have vio-
lated state law in playing the

than you imagine.

must tell you that you are liable

She conferred with Rappaport,
who advised she not attempt to
escape the penalty of playing the
wrong song.
She told Wilson the songs had
come from the National musical
Office of the theater chain and
she had not questioned their
validity.
Perhaps you can't play the

gested.
"What2" she exclaimed, 81 can

Thrill Seekers Are Barred
From Revelations by
Harding's ACCuSer.

By United Press
TOLEDO, O., Oct. 30.-Nan Brit
ton was to tell her own story from
the witness stand this afternoon
without the presence Of "thrill-seek-
ing" high school students who were
barred by Federal Judge John M.
KillitS.
A temporary adjournment was
taken this morning in the trial
of Miss Britton's $4,000 libel suit
against a Marion (O) hotelkeeper,
while opposing counsel conferred
with Judge Killits concerning what
questions would be asked her when
she testified in her own behalf.
The conference followed resting
of the case by the defense, which
sought by comparative passages
from Mans book 1.-THE Presidents
Daughter" and another book, 1.-THE
Answer to The Presidents Daugh-
ter" to discredit her claims that
her daughter is the child of former
President Harding.
Miss Britton is suing G. A. Klunk,
Marion, for distributing copies of
the Answer" which she claims, de-
famed her name.
Many Women Present
High school students and all
minors we're barred by Judge Kill
Its in his order. On each Of the
three previous days, the courtroom
has been packed, mostly with Wom-
en- spectators. Judge Killits fur
thermore threatened to bar all spec
tators because of the general "spici-
ness" of the testimony.
1.-THE court is not surprised at the
showing at this trial, but it has been
greatly disturbed because much of
the interest is prurient and very
demoralizing," the judge asserted.
Under a rule, the court could ex-
c1ude everybody except litigants, at
torneys, officers of the court and
the jury. This includes the press, if
necessary.
1--WE can understand how people
of mature age may have an interest
in this case which might justify
their presence here, but not so with
youth. Such persons can get moth
ing here, but impressions destruc-
tive of good character"
Threatens Citation
He threatened to cite for con-
tempt any minors who violated his
instructions.
Early chapters of her book de-
scribe how Miss Britton became in
fatuated with Harding before he
became President.
He then edited a Marion news
paper and she was school girl. AS
their friendship extended, her in
fatuation deepened and was recipro-
Gated, she wrote.
Tells of Hotel Tryst
Hardly breath stirred in the
courtroom when one of the attor-
neyS read a passage describing an
alleged tryst between Miss Britton
and Harding at the Madison hotel
in New York.
The bridal suite was engaged be-
cause it was the only one available,
the book said. 1t was here, the
author wrote, that Eve shared our
first kiss
"Godl God! Mani" Harding is
quoted in the book as exclaiming.
Tell me it isn't hateful to have me
kiss you"
Through the recital, Miss Britton
maintained calm attitude.
