NEW TURN TAKEN IN
BRIDGE DEATH QUIZ
Two New Witnesses to Be
GriIIed Today.

Two new witnesses, whose names
DR.. John E. Wyttenbach, deputy
coroner, would not reveal, are. to be
questioned this afternoon in the
mysterious death of Won Donald
Taylor, 923 Leland avenue, who was
found in front of his home early
last Sunday morning dying from a
skull fracture.
Examination of Taylor has re-
vealed that the type of fracture he
suffered would be unlikely to be
caused by fall and swelling on
the side of his head indicates that
he may have been slugged.
His death followed a bridge party
Saturday night at which he is re-
ported to have taken several drinks.

Mitchell Is
Indicted on
Tax Charge
Ex-NationaI City Bank
Chairman Is Accused of,
Evading Income Levy.

By Hited Press
NEW YORK, March 24.-Charles
E. Mitchell, who as chairman Of the
National City bank was a powerful
figure in international finance, was
indicted by a federal grand jury
today charged with evading pay
ment of $573,312G1 in income taxes
for 1929.
The indictment, resulting from an
inquiry based on Mitchells testi-
mony before the senate banking
committee, charges that he received
net income of $2,823 ,405.95 for
1929, whereas he reported a net loss
Of $4,000 and paid no tax.
The indictment contains only one
count and charges willful evasion
Of the $573,312 tax for 1929. Con.
viction on this count is punishable
by five years in prison and $4,000
fine.
Federal Judge Henry w. Goddard
received the indictment from George
T. Medalie, United States district
attorney, who began investigating
Mitchell'S income tax returns the
day after he admitted before the
senate banking committee that he
had sold 1890 shares of National
City bank stock to "a member of
his family" for the purpose of es-
tablishing a tax loss.

HOTELS PLAN
NEW BEERS
EVE PARTIES
Many Clubs, Restaurants
Are Preparing to Join
Celebrations.
PROBLEM FOR CAFES
Several DoWntoT;c: Z ating
Houses Undecided on
Serving Brew.

A big new beers eve" celebration
was being planned here today by
many hotels, clubs and restaurants
for the night of April 6, or whenever
distribution of beer is started here.
Governor Paul v. McNutt has prom
Used some legal beer here after mid
night April 6.
Inquiry revealed that most of the
larger hotels, having restaurants or
cafes, are making arrangements to
dispense beer when it become legal,
some arranging midnight celebra-
tionS.
Leading clubs of the city also
planned to celebrate return of the
cheering Suds.
Managers of most of the larger
downtown restaurants were less jubi-
liant over legalization of 80 per
cent brew, however.
Members of the Restaurant ASso-
citation of indianapolis are doubtful
OF the adviSability Of attempting to
serve beer in their restaurants.
High Price Is Problem
1t was the consensus that sale of
beer would be Improbable because
of the high cost of bottled beer, the
cost of installing equipment, and
the length of time beer patrons
would occupy chairs and tables, in
terfering with the serving of BOD
patrons.
Also, it was reported, they
feared the sight of beer might
prove offensive to some of their pa
irons still listed as ardent drys.
The restaurant men are uE
against a real problem. If they
sell beer at 10 cents a bottle there
will be no profit. At IS cents the
profit will be slight, even in large
quantities, while at 20 cents they
would receive a fair profit, but the
high price would prevent sales in
any volume.
Puzzle to Restaurants
Managers of several large down
town restaurants, seating from 125
to $50 persons, pointed out federal
and state licenses would cost an
average of $425 at least. On the
basis of 5 cents profit on each bottle,
it would require sale of at least a
case a day to meet the license cost
alone.
Hotels, clubs and restaurants
seeking permits to dispense beer are
required, under the Indiana law, to
provide $1,000 bond.
License fee for restaurants, din
ing rooms and boats will be $500
where accommodations for not more
than fifty guests are provided; $500
for more than fifty and not more
than 100, with an additional $50 for
each group of fifty seats above 100.
In the case of clubs, the fee will
be 500 for the first 500 or less
members residing in Indiana, and
10 cents for each additional or new
member.
Hotels may sell beer for con-
sumption in its rooms, other than
the dining room, if they qualify as
a retailer and pay an additional
annual license fee of 5000.

A man who sells insurance in In

1t spelled death to his father 1t
scattered his four brothers and a
sister to the four winds.
1t sent him to America-and the
money he sdved to bring his father
out of the wrath of death that
hung over Russian towns and
villages, as it now hangs over his
race in Germany came too late. His
father died from injuries he suffered
from the mob.
The man, Nathan Joplin, 2258
North Meridian street, is quiet
sort. He would give offense to no
one and yet he's seen pogrom at
it's drunken, beating, stabbing, loot
ing height.
He knows how those German Jews
feel as they hide in garrets of homes
rather than appear on streets mad
with Nazis seeking members of his
race. He, too. hid in a garnet for
fear of his life.
1t was in 1905 in the town of Eliz-
avetgrad in the Ukraine in Russia.
Toplin's father was a dry goods
merchant.

fans, came. They melted the baser
elements of the town to join them.

sake. Dan Monaghan Thursday

Monaghan started as bartender

that happy days were here again as
he inspected the newest and latest
styles of bar equipment.
During his long service he was
known to every one in the neighbor-
hood of the Sherman who came in

Chancellor Adolf Hitler began his
regime as chief of the third reich"
faced with boycott threats, which, in
some cases, already had resulted in
actual cancellation of orders.
His supporters set about to dis
prove reports of Jewish persecution
which led to the economic reprisals,
and which threatened to result in
diplomatic incidents.
Drastic Measures Hinted
An immediate answer to the afro
city reports came from the Hilterite
newspaper, Voelkischer Beobachter,
which announced that the govern
ment would take drastic measures
against newspapers disseminating
such reports, and against their Ber-
lin correspondents.
The suggested action included
exclusion of newspapers from mail
facilities in Germany, the publica-
ton stated.
The Voelkischer Beobachter also
pointed out that the economic boy
colt suggested in certain quarters
in the United Staes should be con-
sidered in the light of the fact that
eventually the United States would
hurt itself by such action, as Ger
many is buying more from the
United States than she is selling to
that country.
Moreover, the newspaper stated,

debts would be regulated"

eminent is watching developments

certain protests with foreign diplo-
mats in Berlin, it said.
Arrests of leading associates of
President Paul Won Hindenburg in
his 1882 election campaign against
Hitler have created new sensa-
ton in Berlin. The arrests are
concerned with alleged diversion of
funds to aid political ends.
