employment Of 100000 persons, in
creasing pay rolls $3O.OOO.OOO week,

In a setting of bursting bombs, the

The whole scheme of self-in-

Officials hoped to complete a BIZ

of the NRA labor clause such as
was incorporated in the automobile
code.
This provision, giving employers

sought by the coal operators, al

Bullets Over Crowd in

SOUTH ST. PAUL, MINI, Aug.
30-Seven men held up two post
office guards today, seized 10000
pay roll, shot down two policemen,
killing one, and, then in frenzy,
poured out a murderous fire from
submachine guns as their two au-
tomobiles sped out of town. The
holdup was staged in front of the
poStoffice.
One policeman, Leo Pavlick, was
killed inSta 1tly. The other, John
Yeaman, was wounded critically.
The postal guards were on the
steps of the postoffice building and
two policemen we're waiting for
them at the curb when the deluge
of bullets was released.
The bandits were in two automo-
bileS and had timed their first burst
of fire with the exit of the guards
from the building. The police were
ordered to raise their hands. They
complied.
Policemen Shot Down
The first murderous bursts from
at least three machine guns killed
Pavlick, who was standing on the
curbing at the side of the police au-
tomobile. His partner, Yeamen,
armed with a revolver, fired point
blank at one of the bandits and was
believed to have shot him in the alb
domen. Another burst of bullets
caught Yeamen and he slumped
with bullet wound in the head.
The bandits had descended from
their automobile during the firing
and they raked the front of the
postofice building and other adj
joining buildings with fusillades of
bullets. The postof1ice guards had
thrown themselves fiat and were
not hit.
Shoot Over Crowd
Two of the bandits rushed up the
steps to where the guards we're ly-
ing prone and snatched the pay
roll satchel. The guards, Joe Ham
elton and Herb Shyene, remained

Several spectators said they saw

Tense of the 1884 city budget

ton, Mayor Reginald H. Sui
Ivan today charged the In
dianapolis Real Estate Board,
his severest critic, with a 40
cent increase in the tax rate.
Meanwhile, the board armed it.
self with additional ammunition for
demanding alteration in the out
standing bonded indebtedness of the
city.
Qualifying its demand for re-
pudiation to one of refunding over
a 44-year- period, the board pre-
pared to take a final stand before
the city council Monday night, when
the 1884 budget will be adopted.
Mayor AsSaiIs Board
Basis for the mayors attack on
the board is the strenuous efforts
which accomplished a reduction in
the valuation on city real estate.
IF property valuation had been
left at the 1880 level of $69l 900 900,
the tax rate to produce revenue to
meet the proposed 1884 budget would
be only 81 cents" Sullivan declared.
Despite the decreased valuation.
more than $3,500,000 has been cut
from the city's expenses during the
last three years." Sullivan contin-
ued.
More than $170,000,000 in valua-
tons have been Topped from the tax
duplicates through pressure of the
Real Estate board, the Chamber of
Commerce, and other tax reduction
groups, in the last three years.
Rate Could Be Lower
eff we had this valuation to tax.
the rate would not need to be $1.31,
raised 5 cents to bring in $203.656
less revenue than in 1888"
The charges against the board
and other tax reduction bodies were
voiced openly for the first time in
the two-year period since the city
budget has been the target of at
tackS.
On numerous occasions, in the
confines of his private office and
during confidential conferences with
newspapermen and close associates
in, his administration, Sullivan has
defended his budget position by
pointing to the two-edged activities
of the groups.
Consistently refusing to be quot

visers, the mayor broke his long ST.
