by the young bride to file the an
nulment suit, but said the papers
had not been prepared. 1t is
likely, however, they will be filed
in Washington, inasmuch as it
was here that the marriage took
place.
Mr.. Newmyer said Mrs. Scarlet
probably would communicate to-
day with the Department of JUS

whereabouts. Her husband was
said to have appealed to the de-

tracing her.
Conference Arranged
Attorney Newmyer said he had
arranged a conference between
the young newlyweds for late
this aftrnoon, but did not dis
close what the nature of the dis
cussion would be.
1t was stated in other quarters,
however, that young Scarlet
probably would not contest what
ever action his wife would take
to sever their marital bonds. He
was represented as suffering
acute embarrassment over the
whole chain of events and at
tendant publicity. A close rela-

fled with the two girls.

had been bridesmaid for her sis

Fascist Methods Charged
to Governor in Talk to
Union Here.

Continuing his fight against mar
tial law in Vigo County, Powers
Hapgood, militant Indiana Socialist
leader, last night charged that "fas-
cistic methods are being used by
Gov. McNutt and military authori-
thieS."
Speaking here before a group of
clothing workers union members,
Mr.. Hapgood asserted that "Fas-
cism grows out of such situations
now existing in Terre Haute." The
meeting was held at 168 W. 9th-st.
1--WE in America believe that die
tatorShip could never overwhelm us
as it has in Germany and Italy, Mr.
Hapgood said. yet, we fail to heed
the minor things that now are ap-
parent all about U.S."
Mr.. Hapgood charged that the
Terre Haute strike arose over i'm
portation of Chicago gunner en-
ployed to guard the Columbian En-
ameling and Stamping plant" The
plant was the focal point of a recent
general strike.
1T is significant that although
military authorities we're supposed
to be the only ones to bear arms,
these Chicago gunmen continue in
service carrying weapons" Mr.. Hap
good charged.
Mr.. Hapgood is one Of several la
Dor and Socialist leaders who were
jailed while picketing during the
Terre Haute strike. A suit asking
an injunction against continuance
of martial law is under advisement
in Federal Court.

WPA FUNDS TO
LIFT BURDEN IN
STREET REPAIRS
Taxpayers Unable to Pay to
Receive Benefit of
Relief Labor.

Indianapolis property owners un-
able to pay their assessments on
street improvements will be relieved
of such responsibility by use OF
WPA funds, the Works Board agreed
today.
The decision came in the forma-
ton of a definite policy by the
board to obtain S5OO000 Federal
funds for street improvement prof.
ectS.
Where property owners are will
ing and able to pay their assess
ments. street improvements will be
handled through the regular con-
tract manner. the board decided.
Under this system, the property
owner pays half and the city half
on widening streets, while the city
assumes rs per cent and the prop
pertv owner 25 per cent of the cost
on resurfacing and reconstruction
of streets.
Where work is done with WPA
funds. there will be no assessment
on the property.
Federal funds already are being
put to use in the improvement OF
w. Michigan-St, from Indlana-av
to White River Two other pending
projects we're presented to the board
today by Henry B. Steeg, City En-
gineer.
The improvements are on Brook
side-av. between 18th and Rural-StS,
and 16th-St, between Alabama ana
Delaware e-Sts.
In these instances, the board said
the property owners are able to pay
their share of the cost.
