BY the Associated Press.
LONDON. August 30.-The emphatic
denial by George L. Harrison, governor
of the New York Federal Reserve Bank,
of reports that Montagu Norman Is In
America to negotiate an international
loan is accepted in official and business
circles here as authoritative.
No responsible source in London has
said the objective of Mr.. Norman's
visit to New York is a S3,500,0 900, 600

The text of the Presidents state
ment, referring to press dispatches,
follows:
With reference to press dis

government is clear. The sole
question in which this country is
interested is in reducing ornaments
of the world, step by step.
we are not party to the YER
sailles treaty and its limitation on
German arms. That is solely a
European question. The United

conference which has now such
promise of progress for the entire
world, and shall lend her aid in this

1t was learned today that Morgan
has asked Thurman to be his per-
sonal contact men with the county
chairmen. The invitation was ex-
tended the former national commit
teeman because Morgan believed
Thurman could best withstand the
Establishment of Watson.
Jim Watson's the Boss
Although Morgan lifted the Re-
publican deficit and moved the state
committee headquarters into an
elaborate suite at the Claypool, the
management of the campaign quiet
ly has been removed from his hands.
Ernest Thomas, who has the title
of assistant state chairman, and
Eliza o. Rogers, former state chair
man, given the title Of chairman of
the executive committee, will be in
charge.
Thomas, former federal farm bank
official in Puerto Rico, through the
grace of Watson's patronage, and
who turned down an appointment to
the federal farm board, has been
entrenched at headquarters for the
last three weeks.
Rogers will assume duties within
the next few days.
Answering Cry for Help
A third member of the new group
of campaign generals, who is ex-
pected to arrive within few days,
is Will H. Hays, movie car, whose
ostensible reason for coming into In
diana to participate in the cam
paign, is to save the state for Her
bert Hoover.
But those in the know at state
headquarters whisper that he is
answering a cry for help from
Watson.
The former active member of the
tlrm OF Hays and Goodrich, who
made a visit into the state Just be-
fore the convention, to the sorrow
OF Thurman, is said to have an
eye cooked on 1884, when Senator
Arthur R. Robinson's term will ex-
pire.
There is no doubt that Hays.
Thomas and Rogers will form the
Republican high command, while
Morgan continues in the role of
general" because of his ability as
a money-raiSer.
Pushed Into Back Row
That is why the Republican state
committee was reorganized in De-
cember, five months before the time
set by the rules.
Watson, it is recalled, made a fly
ing trip here from Washington, and
had Rogers resign and then APP
pointed Morgan.
AT the same time, in order to get
more money into headquarters, he
tried to force Thurman 10 bow out
as national committeeman, and
picked George Ball, Muncie multi
millionaire, for the post.
But Thurman resisted all at
tempts to force his resignation, and
took his time before he quit to en-
ter the Governor race.
And now that the financial load
has been lifted, Morgan is placed
in the back seat.

LAWYERS GET HUGE
SUMS FROM VETERANS
100000 Paid Out by U. S. for Pres
sing Insurance CaIims.

By Scripps-HoloGrd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Sept. 20. The
federal government each year is
paying thousands of dollars to at
torneys who win war risk insurance
claims from it for yeteran-c clients.
That this is a lucrative business
is indicated by the estimate that last
fiscal year these fees totaled about
100000 or more.
The fees are perfectly legal, being
provided for in the law, which says
the government must pay them by
deductions from the judgments won
by veterans.
The money from these fees comes,
of course, from federal funds ap-
portioned to meet war risk insur-
ance claims. 1t comes also out Of
the pockets of veterans, from the
sums courts award them.
Thus, taxpayers, under this law,
are not only paying claims of those
who fought in the World war, but
also the fees Of lawyers, who repre-
sent the successful claimants before
federal courts.

TOLD IN
SHOOTING CASE
BY BLACKBURN
Former Purdue Student on
Stand in Own Defense;
Denies He Shot Gardner.
HOTEL MAN AIDS CASE
Register Put in Evidence to
Show Youth Was Not
at Attack Scene.

From the witness stand in GRIM
inal court where he faces a charge
OF inflicting physical injury in COM
mission of a robbery, William H.
Blackburn, 81, former Purdue uni
versity student, today gave testi-
mony to support his alibi defense to
a charge of shooting Joseph r.
Gardner, 81, of 1896 North Illinois
street.
Gardeners right side is paralyzed
as a result of a bullet which re-
mains in his brain and which physi-
clans say can not be removed with
out endangering his life.
Gardner asserts Blackburn is the
hitchiker he picked up on the out
skirts of Lafayette, Jan. Is, and who
shot him while they were in an au-
tomobile on the Dean road, near
Keystone avenue.
Alibi Is Presented
The abb defense was bolstered by
other witnesses including Lamont
Conner, proprietor of the Conner
hotel at Scottsburg, who testified
that, on the day of the shooting.
Blackburn was a guest at the hotel,
and offered the register in evidence.
Conner said Blackburn entered
the hotel at 4:1O p. M, Jan. %.
The youths mother, Mrs. Ross
Blackburn, and several members of
university fraternities are to testify
in Blackburn'S defense.
Blackburn testified he decided to
leave the university Jan. .27, after
having failed in several subjects
on an examination. He was enrolled
as student in electrical engineer
ing for two and one-half years and
should have been junior, but was
a sophomore because of his slow
progress in his studies.
Quits sinking Ship"
He wrote to his parents, Oak Park
(Ill) residents the night of Jan.
q, advising them that he was leav-
ing school. The letter, in part, fol-
lows:
Dear Mother and Dad:
I'm going away for awhile. I
seem to have been a complete fall
ure here at school and this is no
time for you to be burdned by hav-
ing failure hanging around. No
use to stick to sinking ship. When
you see my civics grades, you will
know what mean.
Il may be acting like a 6-year-old
kid who, allowed to do as he likes,
runs away.
With all the love in the world, to
the sweetest, grandest and most
Self-sacrificing mother and dad in
the world"
Blackburn related that he stood
at Five Points, on Road So, near
Lafayette until picked up by
motoriSt who took in two other stu
dents.

where Blackburn and one of the
students, Dwight Brinson, boarded

so navenue, near the city limits.
where they caught ride to Sey-
mour.
Later they reached Crothersville
and before night were in Scots
burg, where Blackburn says he reg
istered at the Conner hotel.
The accused described the cloth
ing he wore when he left Lafay-
cite, which varies widely from that
worn by the ma nthe state accuses
of shooting Gardner.

ROADS TAKEN over
County Gets 63.4 Miles of
Township Highways.

Addition of 63.4 miles of town
ship roads to the county highway
system, under provisions of an act
passed by the special legislative seS-
sion, was announced today by
County Surveyor Bruce Short.
This brings total mileage of
county roads to 1895. Charles w.
Mann, highway superintendent, is
charged with maintenance of the
roads,.
They will be maintained from
gasoline tax money, distributed by
the state. County commissioners
must apaprove the surveyors action
before the roads officially become
a part of the county system.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1932-09-20

Levies, as fixed by city and
county councils, represent a
total increase of "a cents over
1882 figures, with the increase
being shared equally with r.
cent raises in both tax units.
The 1882 city rate was $1.OS and
the county 29.5 cents.
In Center township, where pro-
vision must be made for three mile
road bonds, an additional three
quarters of a cent will be added to
the levy, raising the total to APPS
cents.
At the meeting of the county
council, arguments and tax strike
threats advanced at the city coun-
Gil meeting Monday night were re-
peated with renewed emphasis, in
duced by the refusal of city officials
to make drastic cuts in salaries and
supply items recommended by tax
relief organizations.
white Makes Appeal
William Basson, attorney, said
that eff budgets and salaries are not
reduced there will be taxpayers
strike"
John F. White, state legislator,
pleaded for moderation in the re-
trenchment program.
Stating that figures quoted by
previous speakers were not accur-
ate entirely, White urged the coun-
ell to take middle course"
He explained that the $3.50 limi-
tation law never would have passed
the legislature IF provision had not
been made for an emergency board
to handle just as such a situation
as confronts us here"
Utilities Are Blamed
There is too much of tax bur-
den on business, but the difficulty
lies in too high utility rates, rather
than with the tax rate White as
serted. 1.-The public functions must
be carried on. Let us use modera-
ton"
James A. Branson, representing
the Marion County Association for
Tax Reduction, charged that county
officials "are less responsive to the
universal demand for tax reduction
than other units of government.
"The sheriff had the audacity to
ask for an increase in his appropri-
alton from 100000 to 100000"
Branson charged. when our
Judges and our county officials ask
for increased appropriations in
times like these, I hope that the
county council will take charge and
do what is necessary"
After hearing more than two
hours of arguments the city coun-
Gil reduced the budget by total OF
7,077.50 by transferring street
cleaning expenses to the gasoline tax
fund.
Appropriation Is Reduced
The appropriation of 100000 for
street resurfacing was reduced to
$1O2,922.50 in order to eliminate
necessity for raising the street
cleaning fund by tax levy.
A crowd, which filled the first
floor and gallery Of the council
chamber, heard local business men
and property owners threaten the
council with the responsibility for
creating a tax strike unless pro-
