$75O,OOO CUT IN CITYS
1888 BUDGET PROPOSED;
DRASTIC CHANGES URGED

Reduction of approximately $780,
900 in the 1888 budget of the city, a
13-cent tax levy cut, is blamed for a
program of governmental operation
submitted today to civic leaders.
In meeting at his home, attend
ed by representatives of the Cham
Der of Commerce, B. J. T. Jeup, 2415
North Talbot street, former city en-
gineer, advanced a plan for greatly
improved government at greatly re-
duced cost"
The plan. Jeup said, includes es-
sential features of the city manager
plan, but needs legislative reStric-
tons which have kept the manager
plan from being put in operation.
Twenty-Seven conclusions, each
representing an important change
in civic administration, are listed
by Jeup as suggestions for accom-
pliShing reduction of governmental
cost.
The most important change rec
commended, according to Jeup, is
provision for appointment of an
assistant mayor" whose duties will
approximate those of a city man
ager, thus eliminating need Tor
change of the city charter.

ALBANY, N. Y, Aug. 18.-Justice
John T. Loughran today granted an
order staying Governor Franklin D.
Roosevelt from handing down a de-
cision in the removal hearing
against Mayor James J. Walker of
New York.
Application for the order was
made by John j. Glynn, a nephew
of former Governor Alfred E.
Smith and member of the law firm
representing the New York mayor
at the present hearing in the cap
ital.
The order is returnable Friday
before Supreme Court Justice Ellis
Staley. It was served on o. M
Malwin Fertig, Governor Roosevelt's
personal counsel.
The stay order comes up at the
same time Friday as the show cause
order which Sidney Levine obtained
last week. Under this latter action
Roosevelt must show cause why a
writ of prohibition should not be
granted until the courts have had
an opportunity to pass upon the
Governors constitutional power of
removal.
The new legal action came at
noon recess Of the Walker hearing
before the Governor. During the
morning, John j. Curtin, the
mayors attorney, had moved -
charge by charge-for dismissal of
the complaints against Walker.

eliminate duplication of effort;
placing the police department. on
the basis of a 48-hour week; cur
taiiment of long term bond issues;
use of gasoline tax funds for re-
Surfacing city streets, and forma-
ton of city budget and legislative
vigilance commission ito protect the
public interest" in appropriating
and spending of city funds, are
among changes recommended.
Among department consultations
proposed is expansion of the city
legal staff if necessary, and the
elimination of separate attorneys
for each city board. The present
method doubles the cost of city legal
counsel, according to Jeup.
An 8-hour day would be observed
by city employees, including board
members, who now continue pri-
vate interests, according to the pro-
poSal.
Operation should be revised in the
purchasing department, sanitary
board, city hospital, controllers Of
flee. board of works, engineering de-
partment, street commissioners Of
fee and the safety board the pro-
poSal sets out.
A horizontal salary reduction OF
1915 per cent and reduction of 5
per cent in other city expenditures is
recommended for consideration OF
the city council in event that the
new plan is not adopted.

REPORT WORLEY
TO FACE JURY
Former Chief Rumored to
Come to City.

Despite persistent denials by fed
eral authorities, Indianapolis today
was hotbed of rumors that Claude
M. Worley, former police chief, was
to testify before the federal grand
jury.
No confirmation of the reports
could be obtained from various
sources close to Worley Majority
of his friends were out of the city
or refused to talk, and his wife
could not be located at the Worley
residence in Brooklyn, Ind.
Reports that Worley was to come
to Indianapolis from the Leaven-
worth penitentiary were circulated
Wednesday afternoon. At the peni-
Tertiary, where Worley is serving
the Majority of a six-year income
tax evasion term, officials today
said they did not know whether
he will leave"
Early today, however, the state
ment was issued at police headquar-
terS that "Worley is in town." He
was supposed to have arrived about
midnight Wednesday.
This was denied by local officials,
who said no papers had been issued
for Worley's return.
Worley has been the focal point
of reports that he would return to
talk about alleged corruption among
present and past city and county
officials and political leaders.

milk.
Distributors throughout the city

prices failed to develop, although
some distributors admitted today
that they were worried.
Most of the leading diaries de-
clared that they had heard nothing
of the strike"
The reduction will come from the
pockets of the distributors, saio

apolis Dairy Producers Council,
which establishes the price which
distributors pay the farmers. The
price to the farmers has remained
the same.
Il have heard some rumors of the

to locate no farmers who had any,

The reduction extended also to
buyers of large quantities of milk.
Most distributors announced rates
of "a cents a gallon, with further
cut to 20 cents for purchasers of
more than three gallons. Former

TAYLORVILLE. Ill, Aug. 1S. -
The Christian county blockade en-
forced by armed volunteer citizen
guards to halt an invasion of union
coal miners, was lifted by Sheriff
Charles Wienecke today.
Wienecke announced he had
asked Governor l.. L. Emmerson tc
have national guard troops, en-
camped at Camp Grant near Rock
ford, held in readiness to move here
in case of trouble.
Wieneckes action in lifting the
blockade and withdrawing the citi-
zen guards from patrol duty on
highways, railroad stations and
nearby mines followed meeting of
coal diggers at Tovey, where one Of
the big Christian county mines is
located.
The miners voted to strike, thus
giving the dissenting union workers
part victory even before the march
on the county, scheduled to start in
Springfield at noon today.
Invasion Set for Today
ct appears that Taylorville
miners probably will join the strike
against the S. scale" Wienecke said.
eff that is the case, there is no
point 60 maintaining the guard
against an invasion of a picket
army, when there will be no mines
to picket"
Wienecke declared that as re-
suit of conference shortly after
a. m. with Governor EmmerSon
at Springfield, an army airplane
with national guard officers aboard
will fly here today from Camp
Grant Ito look the situation over,
and report back to Adjutant-Gen-
eral Carlos E. Black" who is in
command of the state militia
This does not mean we have
asked for troops" said Wienecke.
1T means that we laid the situation
before the Governor SO we could
be assured of protection
Governor Orders Troops Ready
Governor Emmerson got up from
the sickbed, to which he was ordered
by physicians, to confer with Sher-
if Wienecke and other officials at
a. m. The Governor had been
ordered to bed after an attack of
acute indigestion and all engage
mentS for the week had been can
celled.
He met the Taylorville delegation
in bathrobe and slippers.
After listening to the discussion,
the Governor telephoned General
Black at Camp Grant and asked
him how quickly troops could be
started to Taylorville.
"At a moments notice" General
Black replied.
Have them ready in case we
need them" Emmerson told him.

From one of the windows he

Picard and Cosyns went into the

accused the Belgian professor of
being a publicity seeker. They have
branded his flight of a year ago as
worthless to science.
Yet there was a deep smile on
