BIZ United Press

By United Press
TOKYO, Oct. 29-Vice President
John N. Garner and Speaker Joseph
w. Byrns were received in audience
by Emperor Hirohito of Japan today
in the imperial audience chamber
in the Chiyoda castle.
Attired in top hats and morning
coats, the Americans were escorted to
the gorgeous Phoenix room, where
the emperor awaited them.
The visitors bowed tremendously
before entering the audience cham
Der and thereafter bowed at inter-
walls, according to custom, as they
approached Hirohito
A welcoming address by the en-
peror, expressing his pleasure at the
visit of high representatives of a
great and friendly nation, followed
the formal presentation.
When his words had been trans
lated, Garner and Byrns spoke
briefly, expressing qualification for
the friendly receptions they have
received everywhere since their ar
rival in Japan, en- route to Manila
with party of American congress
men to attend the Inauguration OF
Manuel Quezon as first president OF
the Philippines.
At the conclusion of the inter
view Garner and Byrns again bowed
and walked out backward through
the same door by which they had
entered.
The Americans did not have to
remove their shoes, however, as the
reception took place in a foreign
type room.
The Vice President and Byrns
We're driven to the audience from
the United States embassy, on a hill
not far from the Chiyoda Castle
in an embassy car. Newspaper pho
tographers snapped them continu-
ously as they drove over the bridge
which crosses the moat surrounding
the castle. Crowds cheered them all
along the line of the drive.

Evil Symbol?

WEYMOUTH, Mass, Oct.
ga direct descendant of
Betsy Ross couldn't 60 to school
today because he wouldn't sa-
Lutte the flag.
Mrs. Betsy Ross NeWcomb,
mother of Charles, IA, said she
would tell school authorities
that there could be no harm to
the state in his refusal to sa-
lutte the creation of his ances-
tor. She intends telling them
also that the boys father died
of World War wounds five
years ago.
But I won't make Charles
salute the flag unless he sees
fit" she said.
Charles was sent home from
the Weymouth High School
yesterday. His teacher, obey
ing the new state law had her
class stand, take the oath of
allegiance, and salute the flag.
Charles remained seated.
Il can't pay allegiance to
anything that does not belong
to God" he told her.
Mrs. NeWcomb belongs to
the Witnesses of Jehovah, a re-
ligious sect teaching that
worldly symbols are evil.
Charles is the ninth student
to be excluded from school for
refusing the flag salute.

TAX CUT RESTS
ON COLLECTIONS
Taxpayers, Chamber Of
Commerce Expect Full
Fall Payments.

The basis on which fall tax collec-
tons are calculated probably will be
the determining factor in any re-
auctions made in the city, county
and school tax rates by the State
TaT Board, it was said today.
Hearing the Perry Township,
county and civil ana school city APP
peals yesterday, the board called a
conference for tomorrow between
the principal protestants and city
and school officials, in an effort to
reach a compromise estimate.
The speed with which fall tax
collections and delinquency pay
ments have been coming in has led
the Indiana Taxpayers Association
and Chamber of Commerce, chief
DIRECTORS, TO calculate tax collec-
tons on a basis of at least 100 per
cent. The budgets we're made up on
an expectation of a smaller collec-
ton.
Asked Reduction in Rate
Harry Miesse, Indiana Taxpayers
Association secretary, who took the
appeals on the county and city
rates, asked the board for a reduc-
ton from $l.14 to 912 cents in the
civil city rate. His figures were
based chiefly on differences in the
estimated tax collections and mis-
cellaneous revenue.
He sought a 2l2 cent reduction
in the school rate and a 1-cent
county rate cut. The latter was
asked on the basis of elimination
of 1-cent levy for free gravel

Santini's Armies Within IL
Miles of important
Ethiopian Town.
BY WEBB MILLER
United Press staff Correspondent

WITH GEN. RUGGIERO
SANTINTS FORCES IN
ETHIOPIA, Oct. 29.-Italy 5
northern army is within
striking distance of Makale,
first strategic center of i'm
portance on the path to inner
Ethiopia.
I think that when the army starts
the push that will open the second
phase of its campaign it will be the
most spectacular of all operations
thus far.
The Italians are planning to MAKE
the fullest use of their mechanical
superiority in succeeding drives. l
believe that before long the role of
midget tanks-two-man tanks only
shoulder high, using machine guns
will be featured in large numbers in
making an invincible advance.
Road Builders Guarded
The modern Romans are driving
toward the heart of Ethiopia, in
preparation for the second phase,
somewhat like the ancient legions
of the Roman empire.
The difference is that the thou
sands of road builders are guarded
by airplanes and midget tanks.
The spectacle of an army thrust
ing roads into unoccupied territory
ahead of its main advance is I'M
equalled in operations. Preparations
along the route from Adigrat toward
Makale are the most interesting
have seen.
The route is being constantly pa
troled, by reconnaissance airplanes
and on the ground. Patrols have
pushed without incident as far as
within IL miles of Makale.
Emmissaries Are Sent
I am told that inhabitants have
sent emissaries inviting the Italians
to come Immediately, and asking the
earliest date at which they could ar
rive.
While tractors are yanking five
inch guns up the precipitous trails,
sometimes aided by hundred men
strainlng at drag ropes, only a mile
away-clinging to the mountainside
another totally new road is being
constructed. Men are working on
all its 10 miles of length simultane-
ously.
Because it is planned to make full
use of mechanical equipment, pass
able roads are prime necessity. This
means that advances will not be as
rapid as they could be without such
preparations.

WPA HEADS TO
INSPECT C|TY'S
TRACK PROJECT
Mayor Kern Assured Help
to Overcome Federal
Restrictions.
RAISE THREE POINTS
Chief Obstacle to Use of
Funds Hinges on Pri-
vate Property.
Times Special

bWtS - ptClub
WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.-Col
George Babcock and a group OF
WPA engineers will go to Indian
apolis late this week or early next
week to inspect the proposed South
Side track elevation project.
This assurance was given Mayor
Kern before he left here today.
1t does not mean, however, that
100000 of WPA funds will be
forthcoming for the work
At conference with Col. Bah
cock and Col. Edward Harrington
another WPA engineer, in the office
of Harry L. Hopkins, WPA director
late yesterday Mayor Kern met with
three points of objection to the pro-
posed project.
They were:
1t costs too much for material; it
can not be completed by June 30
1886, and it involves improvement to
private property.
Col. Babcock, who is engineering
assistant to Wayne Coy as regional
WPA director, suggested that Con-
troller General John McCarl would
object to the improvement of pri-
Vate property. He advised the
Mayor to try getting funds from the
Bureau of Roads, but Mayor Kern
pointed out that these funds only
can be used for grade separations
and not for track elevation.
Before the afternoon conference,
Mayor Kern had conferred with
Hopkins and called on President
Roosevelt, being admitted without
previous arrangement at the White
House as an old Roosevelt family
friend.
Accompanied by Mrs. Kern and
his son, the Mayor began the return
drive to Indianapolis today.

Murphy Warns Against
'SubverSive Elements in
Schools, Churches.
SPEAKS AT LUNCHEON
Urges Vigilance, Asks Sup
port in Battle Against
Nations Foes.

Radical groups boring into the
nations churches, schools and uni
versities were condemned today by
National Commander Ray Murphy Of
the American Legion, at a lunch
con given in his honor by the In
dianapolis Chamber of Commerce at
the Indianapolis Athletic Club.
Two hundred department COM
manderS and adjutants, in addition
to civic leaders, attended
Preceding the luncheon depart
ment commanders held Geographic
roll call of Legion members whose
1886 dues are paid. The roll call,
taken three weeks earlier this year,
showed 266,72 members enrolled.
Indiana reported 1908, an increase
Of approximately 1000.
Fortune Extends Welcome
William Fortune, civic affairs
committee chairman of the cham
Der, welcomed the Legion heads, and
commander Murphy.
Attacking "subversive elements"
of the nation Mr.. Murphy said:
I'VE are living in a period of dam
ger. Abroad, the spirit of war and
conquest is aflame once more. At
home, subversive elements and
groups would destroy by force and
violence our form of government.
The Legion is modified to meet
both these challenges. The primary
activity of the Legion has been, and
remains, Americanism. American
ism means the immediate elimina-
ton of those subversive elements,
whether they come to us from for
aign lands or whether they are the
product of unrest within our Dor
ders, which would overthrow our
government by force or violence.
Not Afraid of Changes
I'VE are not afraid of changes in
government that come in the order
ly way We do say that changes
sought by resorting to violence are
un-American and the Legion will
fight them with every ounce of its
strength
He urged vigilance and asked sup
port in battling against inner foes. !"
He deplored underestimation of
the Legion policies by the press
through stressing only a few OBJ
jectiveS of the organization.
Forecasts Bonus Passage
Speaking briefly on the bonus
question, he forecast passage of the
bonus act in the next Congress.
IF our government had recog-
nized its debt to veterans on the
same basis it settled with war time
contractors, these bonus certificates
would have been paid in 1881, inter-
est and ALL" he said.
Mr.. Murphy declared veterans
are not going to be saddled with
currency or finance experimental
ton" in attaining the bonus objec-
tive.
Payment Only Issue
The Legion does not say infla-
ton or expansion of the currency is
right or wrong he said, emphasiz-
ing that payment of the bonus is
The only clear-out issue.
Aid to disabled veterans, war
widows and orphans, and drafting
of universal war service act to
conscript capital, labor and man
power in case of war were cited as
other Legion detectives.
The three-day conference is to
end tomorrow.

British and French Experts
Draft Plan to Bring
War to End.
BY RICHARD ID. MMILLAN
United Press STAFF Correspondent

PARIS, Oct. 29.-British
and French experts havs
drafted a plan for solution of
the Italian-Ethiopian War,
for submission to the League
of Nations and Italy, the
Foreign Office admitted today.
Details were refused. But it was
understood that the plan was in
London already. Experts on Afri-
can affairs from the British and
French foreign Offices drafted it, it
was understood, with the aid of Pre-
mier Pierre Laval and the British
experts returned to London with
the completed plan.
The British government is re-
ported to be giving it final consid-
Grafton, and it is said here that if it
is found satisfactory Sir Samuel
Hoare. foreign secretary, may SUBJ
nit it at Geneva this weekend.
Based on Duce's Demands
1t is understood that the plan as
drafted is based on Premier Benito
Mussolini's still mysterious mini
mum demands" as he outlined them
to Premier Laval.
Though the plan does not APP
proach that of Mussolini in its con-
cession to Italy, it was reported to
envisage considerable, territorial
gains to Italy.
The British. it is said, insist that
! the plan must be submitted to the
League at Geneva in order to keep
all future negotiations within the
League framework and, more impor-
tant, that it must be acceptable to
Emperor Halle SelaSSie.
Seek Calm Atmosphere
Paris sources intimated that both
France and Britain hoped that if
the plan were found generally &C
ceptable it might obviate the neces-
sity for vote on more penalties
against Italy this weekend. Thus
there would be maintained a calm
atmosphere during which a meeting
Of the powers might be called to
discuss final peace terms.
A spokesman here said that the
plan was kept secret because of the
desire of the British not to create
the impressions that the powers were
working outside the League.
1t was learned that the British
African expert in charge of drafting
the plan with French experts re-
turned to London Monday with the
draft.
