Mayor Kern was to confer this

Albert Losche, city purchasing agent,
to seek some arrangement to keep

on 2 3O-cent rate with the posi-
bility that an additional cut could
be made.
William H. Book. executive vice
president OF the indianapolis Cham
Der of Commerce, protested too
drastic a reduction. Mr.. Book con-
tended that townships should pay
as they go in caring for poor relief"
Holds 3O-Cent Rate Adequate
He said he feared that too gen.
erous cut" would work a hardship
during the next fiscal year.
Mr.. Smith, however, replied that
it was his belief that the townships
poor relief could be placed on cur
rent -as-you-go" basis with
30-cent rate without harming the
county's financial condition.
Decatur and other county town
ships were represented before the
board this morning and this after
noon in defense of their budgeted
requests for poor relief.
2S-Cent Slash Asked
Searching analysis of items in
proposed budgets of county tax
ing units, suggesting possible re-
auctions of more than % cents in
the advertised rates, was presented
yesterday to members of the board
by representatives of the Indiana
Taxpayers Association.
1t was the first time during the
three days the board has been in
session that there has been an in
dication that the board might try
to pare the tax rates.
Though no official vote has been
taken, the attitude of several board
members apparently has leaned to-
ward justification of all proposed
increases in 1896 governmental eX
penses. However, Frank w. Quinn,
Chairman. consistently has argued
on the side of officials asking for
more money and at one time, made
the statement that he felt the
board was weak because they were
unable to increase appropriations as
well as reduce them"
Revenue Estimates Vary
The 28-cent decrease demanded
last night by Harry Miesse, Indiana
Taxpayers Association secretary
and Walter Horn, head of the asso-
cations research department, con-
sisted of a 24-cent cut in the city
civil rate, a Scent slash for the
county rate and 1.6 reduction in
the school city levy.
Arguing along similar lines, Virgil
Shepard, head of the Chamber of
Commerce governmental research
bureau, indicated many ways the in
creased budgets might be brought
closer to this years figure.
Mr.. Shepard stated that because
Fabian Biemer. deputy auditor was
not the county auditor, he feared the
balance in the county sinking fund
would not be protected
Charles GroSsart, county auditor,
resented this remark and jumped
to his feet and asked that Mr.. Shop
ard repeat his statement. Mr.. Shop
ard did so.
Mr.. GrOSSart Is Angered
I'm other words I am a politician
and Mr.. Biemer is a public en-
ploye," shouted Mr.. Grossart. L
think that remark is downright
dirty. I resent it and want Mr.
Shepard to know have the inter
ests of the taxpayers at heart"
Il can't help whatever inference
Mr.. GroSSart cares to make re-
piled Mr.. Shepard. Il apologize 10
the board for creating a disturbance,
but will not withdraw my state
ment"

 'I'm sorry kept you boys wait ing so long," MacCracken told newsmen as he walked out of the back door of the jail with boot leggers, wife-beaters, and small time thieves.
 MacCrackcn said he had been well treated and well fed. He said he had been kept busy as j jail clerk, that he felt fine and that he believed himself fortun- ate to have avoided any semblance of prison pallor.
 While movie sound trucks and batteries of reporters and camera men waited at the front entrance. MacCracken walked out the back door, where hc escaped most of his visitors, hastened past the jail laundry, and drove away in an old sedan with law associate.
 MacCracken refused to talk about his future plans, to com- ment upon the action which sent him to jail, or to engage in ans serious conversation whatever.
 He served the sentence in con- nection with charges that he de- stroyed certain documents which the senate airmail investigation committee desired.
 Col l.. H. Brittin, MacCracken's associate, served ten days last year. MacCracken appealed and lost.

 UP TO THE HOUSE
Committee Votes For Vin- son Plan, But House Can
 Change It

Washington. March 7-(UP)- The house ways and means com- mittee voted IA to 10 today in fa- vor of a rule on the Vinson Amer ican Legion bonus bill which would permit the house to decide wheth- CT to accept that measure or sub stitute the innationary Patman bill.
 Agreement to let the house make its own choice between the two measures was in line with the plan of the house leadership.
 The committee today formally approved favorable report on the Vinson bill, 23 to 1. Yesterday the committee had voted to report fa- vorably the legion measure Instead of the Patman bill, IA to 10.
 Chairman Robert l.. Doughton was instructed to ask the rules committee for rule which would permit the Patman bill to be off, fered as a substitute for the Vim son measure. The rule would be an open one, permitting general de- hate and not restricting amend ments. s'tt
 The report on the anti-infiation Vinson bill probably will not be ready before Monday. This will mean that the bonus issue prob- ably cannot be threshed out in the house until next Wednesday.

 Alyce's intestinal action has im- proved markedly, a favorable sign since, prior to the operation, the functioning of the intestinal tract had been a constant source of trouble.
 It was explained that Alyce was on a graduated diet and that as her ability to retain nourishment im- proved she would gradually be al- lowed more substantial foods. For the immediate future, however, she will be confined to liquids and semi-solids.
 Doctors indicated that unless there was a turn for the worse. bulletins would be issued less fre- quently hereafter.
 On the first mail this morning Alyce received an estimated 700 letters from we'll wishers in vari- ous parts of the United States and Canada. It was the heaviest mall she had received since she entered the hospital more than . fortnight ago.

 Mrs Louella McHenry of omaha. Neb, had planned to grant news men another interview this morn- ing. but Alyce wouldn't let mum my" leave the besdide. She wanted someone to chat with.
 Doctors said that for the next week or so they would be more concerned with their little patients general condition than with the functioning of any particular organ. In the operation, Alyce's upside down stomach was lighted and her spleen and intestines were trans.
