HUNTINGTON, Ind, Jan. 5. -
Mayor Glare w. H. Bangs, Hunting
tons vanishing American, was at
liberty for his fifth day today, with
a pack of deputy sheriffs on his
trail"
Stretching of more secondary mu-
nicipal electric light lines and the
wiring of another house for munic-
ipal electricity last night were the
slender clews left by the Mayor
from his nocturnal activities for the
consideration Of harassed Sheriff 0
e. johnson. .--...--
Sheriff Johnson is anxious to in
terview the Mayor and to hand him
a Circuit Court order restraining
him from further extending munic-
ipal light facilities to former Gus
toners of the Northern Indiana
Power Co. The order has been quiv-
ering to be served since Jan. l, when
the Mayor took Office, but it takes
two to make a legal service and the
Mayor has been singularly aloof
about the matter.
Meanwhile, j. P Adkins. utilities
superintendent, and Claude Cline,
City Attorney, and other members
of the Works Board, which has
charge of the activities Of the plant,
were found today by Circuit Judge
Sumner Kenner to have shown cause

why they should not be cited for
contempt of court on charges that
they had violated the restraining Or
der which the more nimble Mayor
avoided.
The judge found, in effect, that
the Mayor only was responsible for
the building activities and that Mr..
Adkins and Mr.. Cline were as much
mystified at proceedings as the
Sheriff was, or the company.
At the same time the court al
lowed change of venue for the trial
on its merits on the restraining or
der, obtained New Years Day by
the power company, prohibiting the
city from entering the commercial
or residential field. The municipal
plant, company officials contended,
legally can light only the streets and
municipal buildings.

money that would be asked for the
new public works relief expenditures
From other sources it was learned
that this sum will be between
S4,000,000,00O and S5,00O,O00, 900.
Senator Robinson said that prob
ably sSS0,0o0.000 will be required to
continue relief until those on the
rolls may be absorbed into employ
ment."
Senator Robinson revealed that
President ROosevelt's social security
program, expected to be presented
to Congress next week, probably
would be incorporated in a single
bill.
1T is likely that funds for re-
lief will be provided by joint resolu-
tion," Mr.. Robinson went on, land
that certain funds heretofore ap-
propriated but unexpended may be
transferred for that purpose by ap-
propriate legislation. All these and
other measures will be whipped into
shape and brought forward by the
various committees in due time"
The amount of the certain funds
heretofore appropriated, but unex-
pended" is less than $1,000, 000, 900,

HUEY BATTLES
STANDARD OIL
Firm Refuses to Pay Spite
Tax, Discharges 900
Employees.

Dy CHtbeU FTeSS
BATON ROUGE, La, Jan. s.
Senator Huey P. Long was en-
crossed in a fight with big busi-
ness" today, with jobs of hundreds
of oil refinery employees at stake.
The Standard Oil Co. set the
pace by discharging 900 employees
from its refinery here as the first
step in fulfilling its treat to with
draw from the state rather than pay
a spite" tax on oil refining.
Other business men were gravely
concerned. An occupat1onal license
tax was to go into effect Wednesday,
adding to the tax burdens of every
Louisiana industry.
Discharged refinery employees ap-
pealed to Gov. o. K. Allen and to
President Roosevelt for intervention
Ito save our jobs and homes" They
called a mass meeting for tonight
and invited all state refinery en-
ployes to attend.
State highway policemen were as
sembled here to maintain order.
Small attachments of plainclothes
police guarded the executive man
sion and state offices.
The city spent a night of wild
excitement. False rumors spread
that Senator Long had come to the
city and been killed; that Gov.
Allen had been threatened, and that
refinery employees plotted to dyna-
mite the state capitol.
Long remained at New Orleans,
however, making plans to leave for
Washington today
Long declared the Standard Oil
Co. could get out of the state and
go to hell" and that the company
was discharging men ito beat them
out of pensions" they will be en-
titled to under recently enacted
law.
He charged the company has been
refining 100000 barrels of oil day
and that only 5000 barrels came
from Louisiana. The remainder, &C
cording to Long, came from for
eign fields.
Inc East Baton Rouge Ministerial
Association appealed to President
Roosevelt to intercede. The preach
ers set next Sunday aside as "a day
of prayer and fasting, that divine
guidance may give solution to the
problems that face our state.
Standard Oil is already the larg-
est taxpayer in the state and is the
best customer for Louisiana's native
crude oil. The new tax would add
approximately S1,5OO,OOO year to
the company'S tax bill. Its with
drawal from the state would close
the market for hundreds of
thousands of barrels of crude oil.

The Northern Indiana Power Co.,

The Mayor, in his Huntington
News, called upon all electric line

stand by and await a call from him
for emergency construction work.
This became necessary because,
as fast as working men are discov-

REACH ACCORD
Independence of Austria Is

ROME, Jan. 5.-Premier Benito
Mussolini and Foreign Minister
Pierre Laval of France reached
complete agreement at the first OF
a series of conferences today on
means of guaranteeing Austria's in
dependence.
They hoped that in further con-
ferences ever the weekend they
would prepare the way for an alter
alton of the diplomatic map of
Europe to safeguard peace.
Under the Austrian independence
agreement, Italy, Yugoslavia, Czech
oslovakia, Germany and Hungary
would guarantee Austria's indepen-
dence, as neighbors of the nation
which is the crossroads of Europe.
Hungary would be permitted to
make reservations in adhering to
the agreement. The reservations
would make it plain that Hungary
relinquishes none of its claims
which are for revision of the World
War treaties-but, in pursuing its
claims, would act within the frame
work of the League of Nations and
therefore never resort to an act OF
violence.

COUNTY Jury
FAILS TO ACT
IN BANK QUIZ
Probe Ends With NO Bill
Report; Insolvency Is
Questioned.

Citing the acquittal of the insult
brothers in Chicago as proof that
the tide of public sentiment against
bankers and other capitalists was
ebbing, the Marion County Grand
Jury today ended its six months
tenure of office by refusing to re-
turn indictments against any of the
officers of four of indianapolis de-
funct banks.
The report of the six grand jurors
presented to Criminal Judge Frank
P. Baker, a strong advocate OF
thorough examination of the de-
funct institutions, criticised strong
ly some actions of the bankers
raped the bank laws in force at
the time of the crash, had harsh
words for Luther F. Symons, then
state banking commissioner, and
listed six reasons why, in the
JUNIORS opinion, the banks had
failed.
The jurors, however, were unable
to find ANY specific acts of dis
honesty definitely attributable to
any person now living" though they
did refer to some actions" which
might have been more closely
scrutinized, but for the fact the at
tending criminality, if any, was
banned by the statute of limitations
prior to our tenure of office"
Four Banks Included
In explaining their action, the
jurors said that, because Of vary
ing and fluctuating values of real
estate and other securities, that it
was impossible to determine that
the banks were actually insolvent
while deposits were being received. .
This apparently referred to sug-
gestions by Alvah j. Rucker, Spe-
cial bank investigator for Circuit
Judge Earl R. Cox, that prosecution
should be undertaken in several in
stances on the emoezzlement stat
ute based on such receipt of de-
poSitS.
The jurors report dealt with the
Washington Bank end Trust Co.,
the State Savings and Trust Co.,
the City Trust Co. and the Belmont
State Bank. All were ripped I'M
mercifully in reports presented by
Mr.. Rucker, former Marion Coun-
ty Prosecutor, to Judge Cox.
in the explanatory vein, the jurors
sal dthat they could not be "en-
tirely uninfuenced by the abnormal
conditions of business depression
that prevailed throughout almost
the entire world and then added
their reference to the insults, whom
they described as two information
ally known financiers."
Banking Department Scored.
Foster c. Shirley, 53e E. 29th-st,
foreman, who signed the report with
his fellow Jurors, entered dissent
to their finding that it was imposSi-
BILE to determine insolvency.
Prefacing their conclusions with
the remark that they had proceeded
in IAN unbiased and temperate man
ner, uninf1uenced by public clamor,
sympathy or friendship" the jurors
declared:
1--WE have found a deplorable con-
dition of unsound banking, but were
amazed to learn that much of it
was sanctioned by banking laws
then existent, but which, are pleased
to know, have since been remedially
reconstructed. ALSO, we we're anX-
ious to learn why the State Bank
ig Department permitted unsound
banks to continue in operation"
