liquidation was an unsettling factor it
was practically a daily occurrence for
a fair number of preferred stocks to
suffer losses of to 8 points on sales
of one or two hundred share lots. The
markets continue just as thin. but many
of the preferred issues have been re-

Charges Leslie Failure

"A Democratic general assembly
never will make budget and then
fail to balance it," asserted McNutt,
Due to the failure of Governor
Harry G.. Leslie to assert leader
ship during the recent special ses-
sion OF the general assembly the
state will find itself bankrupt next
year, hat in hand, begging for loans
to take care Of state expenses. Reve-
nues possible under the acts passed
by the assembly will lack $500, 900
OF balancing the budget, which the
same assembly approved.
The $3.50 tax law, which, by the
way, is plank of the Democratic
state platform, will be given a fair
trial. The Democratic party has
pledged itself to the enactment of
legislation to make it practicable.
The law received the almost unani-
nous support of the Democratic
members of the assembly.
Killed Income Tax
After passing this law reducing
the states income by almost half,
the Democratic members of the
house passed income tax measures,
which, it is estimated, would have
raised $6,OO0O0O and would have
balanced the budget, but the Re-
publican senate killed the bill" Nc
Mutt charged
Republicans promised you lower
taxes four years ago and lower ex-
penditures in the state. In 1928, In
diana spent SAG, 828,9SO in its govern
ment. During the last four years
the figure has grown to $50 1893 ,925.
There is your promise-and there is
the way they have kept it,"
Van Mugs asserted that the
declaration in the Republican plat
form that the party had redeemed
its pledges to the American farmer
is not sustained by fact.

SMITH CO. SUES
FOR PITTS ASSETS
Act on Information Property
Seized for Taxes Is to Be
Returned.

Acting on information that the Bu-
reau of Internal Revenue is planning to
return to G. Bryan Pitts all of the
property seized recently in satisfaction
of income tax claims, the F. H Smith
Co. today asked District Supreme Court
to compel the bureau to turn over to
the Smith Company all the seized assets.
The company's suit also asked that
officials of the bureau be required to
pay money damages to the Smith Com
pany for any loss it may sustain by
reason of the wrongful seizure" Of
property from Pitts. 1t is contended
that all of the assets taken from him
rightfully belonged to the company.
Justice F. Dickinson Let's was asked
to sign an order impounding with the
court nearly $1,000,000 worth Of jewel
ry and other personal property taken
away from Pitts, former chairman of
the Smith companys board Of directors.
Named as defendants in the suit
were Galen L. TAFT, Ralph S. Nagle and
David Bu1net, officials of the bureau;

the Secretary the privilege of reaching
his office through the south end OF what
the building contractors describe as a
secret pasSageway," which separates
the Offices proper from the reception
room.
Department officials, in describing
the great temple of facttinding, which
covers eight acres of ground, when it
was completed on January 4, failed to
say anything about the private lift.
It's whereabouts was not generally
known until yesterday, when the overly
polished bronzed door aroused the
curiosity of a newspaper man. Be
fore he could be stopped by the guard
he opened the door and walked into a
small marble walled lobby.
The elevator girl, seated on chair
inside the lift, leaped to rigid mill
tary attention. The janitor quit rub
bing the highly polished walnut-pan-
eled sides with his rags and made a
hasty exit from the lift just as the girl
called out:
Sorry, sir, but this is a private
elevator"
Before the reporter could question
the janitor as to whether his duties are
confined to general cleaning or to the
elevator only, he was ordered out Of
the exclusive elevator Of the public
building by the guard.

GENEVA APPROVES
FAR EAST INQUIRY
Toxic Warns of Leagues Re-
sponsibiIity if Action
Goes Too Far.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
GENEVA, January 30.-A mutual
inquiry by the powers represented on
the League of Nations Council to in
vestigate japanese invasion of Shang-
hal was launched by the Council today
ard was met by the Japanese delegation
with an unexpected show of concilia-
ton and a desire to cooperate in bring
ing about a peaceful solution.
The proposal was made by Sir Eric
Drummond, secretary general of the
League, and was Immediately welcomed
by w. w. Yen, China's spokesman On
the Council, who suggested, however
that the inquiry go to the root OF the
cause and eradicate it."
SatO'S Tone Changed.
M. Sato, japanese representative
promised the cordial assistance of the
Toxic government and emphatically as
serted that the Japanese forces acted
only in sslf-defenSe and planned no
permanent occupation of the territory
M. Sato's tone was much changed
from yesterday when he had virtually
challenged the Councils action under
article Is. His manner today was no
ticeably conciliatOry and he seemed
even to plead for an understanding of
Japan'S position.
Ambassador Yen said Shanghai is i'm
portant to China but Manchuria is
still more important China invoked
article Is, he said. not only because of
the situation in Shanghai. but because
of the entire Sino-Japanese dispute,
and he hoped Sir Eric would soon sub
init a plan for an immediate inquiry
embracing the whole problem. China,
he said, had planned to invoke articles
10 and IS even before the recent Incl
dents at Shanghai.
Council Backs Proposal.
Sir Eric replied he was not making
proposal to the Council, but directly
to the officials at Shanghai, under au-
thor1ty given him in article Is of the
covenant. President Joseph Paul-Bon-
cour announced that the Council was
in full agreement with the secretary
generals plan.
The absence of an American repre-
sentative from Secretary Drummond's
Commission occaSioned some surprise
The French, Italian and British mem
bers announced their governments
had instructed their representatives at
Shanghai and the German and Span
ish delegates said similar action would
be taken by their governments.
