A person signing himself "A Reader

interested in reducing governmental
expenditures in the city of Indian
apolis. To this person, l wish to
communicate. especially. and say
that if any one ever exposed his
ignorance to the public at large,
Fairness" did and certainly made

The police and firemen did not
have their wages reduced because of
a lack of dollar for dollar return in
service. I am not a Democrat, but
I know and these men know that
our mayor resisted to the last, be-
fore he reduced the pay Of these
gentlemen. He knows and any other
person of open mindedness knows
what these men encounter in risk
of their lives while performing the
duty Of safeguarding life and limb
and public health and properties.
We also know, or at least may
arrive at a close figure. as to ex-
penses that must be borne by these
men to maintain their equipment
and live a life while on duty that
will elevate the moral of men work
ing under such circumstances.

COLD IS TOPIC
Of SCHACHT,
ROOSEVELT

Expansion of American cur.
rency through a reduction Of
the gold coverage behind the
dollar is under discussion in the
conversations between the Ameri.
can experts and the German
representatives to the prelimi.
nary econ omic consultations
here.
President Roosevelt's advisers
are seeking information from
DR.. Schacht, president Of the
German Reichsbank, on the
question Of reducing the gold
coverage behind the national
monetary unit.
Germany has reduced its gold
behind the mark to 9 per cent,
whereas the United States has
40 per cent gold coverage. Re.
duction Of the American gold
coverage to Is per cent has been
discussed.
See Strain Eased
DR.. Schacht does not believe
it would be harmful to lower the
American rate below 40 per
cent.
Some American experts are
inclined to believe that reduc-
ton Of the gold coverage behind
the monetary units Of the prin.
cipal world powers would ease
the strain on gold and permit
more equal distribution.
Germany'S willingness to re-
duce its tariffs was expressed by
DR.. Schacht in the first CONVEX
sations with the American ex-
perts.
China Speaks Today
The experts switched from the
German to the Chinese repre-
sentatives today. The extent
to which China's world trade
may benefit from an increase
in the value Of silver was on
the program for discussion.
China's cooperation in an in.
ternational program for business
recovery also will be sought by
President Roosevelt in the course
of his conversations with T. v.
Soong, Chinese minister of
finance.
The latter is assisted at the
conversations by DR.. Alfred SEE,
the Chinese minister here.

VICTIM SNAGS
K|DNAP PLOT
AND THUGS

FREEPORT, ILL.,, May 9 GN.SJ
Trapped with their willing
victim after Federal agents had
Swallowed their every move, two
men were under arrest today,
charged with kidnapping William
Trevillian, Sc, wealthy in
dustrialist, in a weird plot to
collect $4,000 ransom.
The two suspects under arrest
are Laverne Moore, 81, an en-
ploye at the w. T. Rawleigh Com
pany, of which Trevillian is vice
president, and William Stubbe, a
farmer whom Moore is said to
have persuaded to act as Gus
todian of the abduction victim.
Two brothers, Jack and Red"
Schultz of La Sale, ILL.,, informed
Sheriff Edward j. Weller Of the
plot after Moore assertedly asked
them to take part in the kidnap-
ing scheme, Welter announced
today. Federal authorities were
enlisted and the two men were
told to go through with the
abduction plan in which they
were to seize Trevillian.
Learning in advance of the
plot, Trevillian voluntarily sub,
mitted to the kidnapping in a care
fully-planned counterpart of the
authorities to seize the gang.
Last night an automobile
wheeled alongside Trevillian as he
walked from his office. Two men
seized him, pushed their victim
into the car, and drove off. Three
hours later three squads of
Federal agents from Chicago
rescued him at the farm near
Durand where he was taken by
the abductors.

BariheImess Stars
in State Feature

Gold Diggers of 1882. Warner
Brothers record breaking musical
extravaganza, concludes its en-
gagement at the State this evening.
If you haven't already seen this
mighty screen entertainment by all
means do so to-day or tonight.
Tomorrow brings another de-
lightful double feature program
headed by Heroes for Sale" STAR
ring Richard Barthelmess.
The story, which was written by
the late Wilson Miner, minces
no words or situations in portray
ing the career Of forgotten
man." The action commences with
the World war in which the main
character played by Richard Bar
thickness, is rewarded for his brav-
cry with wounds that leave him n
wreck of his former self. His
efforts to rehabilitate himself lead
him into many adventures and in
to stirring romance unit The is
caught in the tide of the "bread-
line" class.
Considered one of Barthelmess'
finest characterizations to date,
Heroes for Sale" also boasts a cast
of highly competent supporting
players, each of whom Is given a
chance for splendid work. Lor-
eta Young plays the leading FEM
mime role. while Aline MacMahon,
Gordon Wescott, Robert Barrat
and Berton Churchill play other
important roles.
The Warner Bros-First National
trend of following front page head
lines for story material is quite evil
dent in this film. The stark realism
of the life and struggles and ro-
nance of a veteran, from the time
of the World war to the present
day is the basis Of this produc-
ton.
The companion feature, a de-
lightful romantic drama, is THE
Cocktail Hour" starring Bebe
Daniels with Randolph Scott, Jessie
Ralph, Barry Norton and Sidney
Blackmer.
Saturday brings Theodore Dreis-
er's sensational Jennie Gerhardt"
starring the ever popular Sylvia

finer story, more emotionally acted
and more enjoyable screen offer
