Proud Line!
Egyptian Envoy to U. S.
Traces Lineage Back
1000 Years.

u " tHtttN fftSS
ATASHINGTON, Oct. 12.-The
w family trees of European
diplomats here appear like young
sprouts beside that of the Egyp-
tan minister, Sesotris Sidarouss
Pasha. His line goes back 1000
years.
One of his servants, who may
be seen at any of the Egyptian
minister's parties shutting around
wearing a red fez and baggy
scarlet trousers. Arabian night
model, traces his tribal line back
about as far.
He has certain tattoo marks
which are the insignia of his an
cient line, and which have gone
down in the tribe from one gen
Grafton to another through forty
centuries.
BY comparison the 200 years
since George Washington's birth
is a short period.
Washington left no direct de-
scendants but there were many
collateral descendants.
One of them, a young divorce
lawyer in Alexandra, Va, just
now has pending against him in
the corporation court charges
of mispractice and misconduct
brought against him by one of his
clients.
He is a descendant of Law
renee Washington, last Of the
Washington family to be born at
Mt. Vernon.

Delinquent Tax Laws Are
Ambiguous, Says Sexton

A suit to contest validity of the
laws is expected to be filed in a
Marion county court this week
Sexton explained that treasurers
are without any opinion, except that
of Attorney-General James M. Og-
den, which docs not protect me or
any other off1ceholder"
Regardless of validity of the laws,
Sexton stated his office did not have
equipment or deputy force to en-
force them.
Since these laws were passed,
which was about Aug. 18, no deputy
from my Office has made a demand
for payment of delinquent taxes,
nor has any of them refused to &C
cept any money rendered for de-
linquent taxes he said.

THREE APPEALS
FILED AGAINST
LEVY DECISION
Tax Reduction Advocates
Undaunted in Fight for
Lower Rates.

Undsunted in their fight for tho
$3.50 tax rate, tax reduction sun
porters today had filed three ap-
peals from action of the county tax
adjustment board and questioned
legality of the boards decisions.
Failure of the county board 10
file its rates with the state tax
board Oct 10. has evoked the legal
complications.
Despite opinion of the state
board that a mere irregularity
could not invalidate a rate Law
renee c. Holmes. indianapolis real
estate board secretary, declared
legality is doubtful"
Two more organizations, the Indi-
annapolis Chamber of Commerce and
the Indiana Taxpayers. Association,
are expected to file appeals With the
county auditor before Saturday.
That is the final date for filing ap-
peals to be heard by the state tax
board.
Holmes held the view that in
valuation of the county's rates
would clear the way for enforcement
of the $3.50 tax limit law. Rates
of the tax adjustment board range
as high as 5000. The Center town
ship rate was cut from 1912 to S2.82.
The county adjustment board was
attacked for raising the rates above
$3.50, in the appeal of the Hoosier
Taxpayers Union. Inc, filed by
Gavin Payne, attorney.
Beech Grove citizens questioned
their rate in another appeal filed
with the county auditor The In
veStors Realty Company filed the

SEA LIONS ARE SLAIN
TO CONSERVE SAL mon
Eleven Hundred Slaughtered by
Canadian Government.

81 Times Special
VANCOUVER, B. c., Oct. IL
More than LOO sea lions and pups
were destroyed off the British Co
lumbia coast this year by officials
of the fisheries department of the
Canadian government. The hunt
is an annual affair and is carried
on by the government at the Pearl
and Virgin rookeries in the Skeena
river district
The killing of these animals is
necessary for the protection of the
salmon industry which in normal
times has as high value as S16,-
100000 a year to the province. The
sea looms. particularly numerous in
the districts named, destroy huge
quantities of salmon and conse-
quently the herds have to be kept
within reasonable limits.
However, to prevent complete ex-
termination of the herds, the gov
eminent retains to itself the priv
lege of killing these sea lion and
the number slaughtered is based
upon careful estimate Of the
population of the herds.

tai, DR.. Harry r. De Silva of the

the American Psychological Associa-

The study was made in an effort
to test the theory proposed by DR..

to the state of the celloids Of the
