PAGE TWO 'ALTON EVENING TELEGRAPH Wood River Starts Anew On Painting Cily Hall Decorations Done Hy Street Men Fail To Please Wounded by Bandits Hoar Health Report Consider Taking Collec lion From Merchants For Police Auto After many a merry quip at th expense of the streets departmenl which during the pa.st two had undertaken to aid In the city' latest economy campaign by usln( city labor and a quantity of olc paint on hand to parts of the city hall's interior, the Wood nivrr city council Monday night referred the palntttig problem to the building and grounds committee for new start. 'Hie result of the effort had been a series of almost torch-like decorative schemes, appearing In unexpected places, and complete absence of attention -to others, with the effect of a Job that had been missing on a number of cylinders. Alderman Walter Scott's motion, passed by the council, empowered the building and grounds committee to advertise for bids for painting the city building Inside and out. The action was taken after the council had surveyed the amount and quality of work done thus far, compared the cost and calculated the expense of completing the Job, then had heard a rough estimate given by Alderman Scott, who Is, himself, a painter. Scott estimated l.hc cost would be around $300 if the Job was done by a regular painting contractor.

The cause for the quips and cracks was a bright yellowish- orange Job done on the Jail cells, and equally colorful applications made in other scattered spots, Including the ceiling of the council G. 0.

President Names Five Men to Judge Facts on U.S. Navy Not Concerned with Opinions Published, Says Hoover chamber office. and the city treasurer's The street department's work had been authorized, as an experiment, at the council meeting two weeks ago. It was thought then that the work might be done passably well with such labor as could be picked up to augment that furnished by street department employes. The painters manned a spray gun to do the work.

Aside from the city hall painting, presented by Alderman Hendrlck- son a proposition for the city to take up a collection among Wood River merchants to purchase a fully equipped police automobile took the limelight. To obtain more definite action on the subject after it had been discussed by the council at length, Alderman D. C. Burroughs moved that the matter be referred to the police committee, which would investigate the attitude of the busU ness men toward the donations campaign. Hendrlckson pointed out that robberies could be expected to Increase in frequency and seriousness this winter.

He said he believed the car would be a valuable adjunct to the police department. Mayor Holcomb reminded Hend- rlckson that the city Itself had absolutely no fluids to spend for anything but those things which must be provided for. and could not be expected to finance even part of the purchase price of the car. He remarked, however, that he would like to be considered, personally, among the business men of the community when It cnme time to make the solicitation. Louis Getting was granted permission by Holcomb, with the ac- qulescnce of the council, to move a three-room house from near the corner of Tenth street and Madison avenue to Picker park.

He said he planned to take the house down Wood River avenue for only half a block.

3. On hastily hewed bench of a fivc- lan court rests President Hoover's contention that the spokesman of a big-Navy group spoke falsely and should apologize. So swiftly did the President act, after rcceivlnlg a membership list of the Navy League late yesterday, that not until today could the ch sen committee lay plans for placing on trial disputed statements by William H. Gardiner, president of the league. The five men named are Assistant Secretary Jahncke of the Navy; John Hays Hammond, retired mining engineer; and Eliot Wadsworth, of the President's emergency relief committee, all of whom were listed as members of the Navy League.

The two non -league members are Uundersecretary Castle of the state department and Admiral Hugh Rodman, retired. The committee named by the President ran Into difficulties today at the outset. John Hays Hammond, one of the members, could not be found. Two other members let it be known that they would not accept the chairmanship. Assistant Secretary Jahncke of thn Navy, torn between loyalty to the President and long activity in the league, will not have it.

Undersecretary Castle of the State Department considers himself too close to Mr. Hoover. The two other members, Admiral Hugh Rodman, retired, and Elliot Wadsworth of Boston had nothing to say about the committee work. The absence of Hammond prevented, the formulation of Immediate plans for meeting. His home here knew nothing of his whereabouts.

His New York office also was said to be uninformed. The group will seek a "neutral place" to hold its sessions, to avoid appearing unduly Influenced by either administration or naval armament sentiment.

NOV. 3, Riding to the sway of balloting today In five congressional districts was the 13 ycnr old domination of the House by Republicans. From the results of thece anc other elections in a number ol states, observers will seek to read political foreshadowlngs of events during the 1032 presidential campaign.

Of the five special elections called to fill vacancies In the House, the outcome In two usually Republican districts is considered doubtful. They are the first Ohio and the eighth Michigan. The Democrats, who have formed House minority since 1918, have assailed the Hoover administration. Whatever the election results, they will be generally Interpreted as the political sentiment toward the chief executive. Should the Republicans return representatives from the three seats traditionally theirs, the most hey could do would bo to tie the Democrats at 216, as the Democrats have virtually been conceded 'Ictory in the other two districts which are normally in their Smith and Roosevelt Tilt The present lineup gives the Jemocrats 214; Republicans 213; armcr Labor one; vacancies seven.

One vacancy in the fifth New Jerey district, usually Republican, will be filled Dec. 1. It may be the decisive district, should today's lections gps as In the past. The seventh vacancy, in the first few Hampshire, will not be filled until Jan. 5, too late fop the repre- entative to participate In House rganlzatlon when Congress con- enes Dec.

Holllster, young Republican attorney, and State Senator David Lorbach, Democratic candidate, has been overshadowed by a Cincinnati city charter issue. While Republicans believe Hol- llster will win, the Democrats hope to take the district along with the eighth Michigan, vacated by the late Representative Bird J. Vincent.

S. Deficit In First 4 Months of Year $661,120,850 Drop in Income Taxes Is Chief Sources Short WASHINGTON, Nov. 3. A new set of figures on the deficit today thrust the question of increasing taxes farther, to the front of administration problems. Word that the treasury ended the first, four months of this fiscal year with $661,120,850 in red on books went Immediately to the White House.

President Hoover does not expect to state his posl- Mon on new taxes in the immediate 'uture, however. The budget is in preparation with Mr. Hoover and his advisers attempting to keep it down. All departments are under orders-to reduce where possible. Curtailed spending on the part the government would put brakes on the enlng to go far beyond the one illlion mark before July would not raise money to meat the arrears which have already accumulated, f- Proposals for increased taxation are growing as the time for the next Congress approaches.

Not ong ago it became known the administration is studying the feas- bllity special sales taxes on a elected list of luxury articles. Senator Reed of Pennsylvania, whose views have coincided often- unes in the past with those of Secretary Mellon, urged a sales levy. Many other senators and house members of both parties have said, lowever, they favored an increase in the levies on large Incomes and strengthening inheritance tax laws in preference to the sales tax idea. Among them are most of the western independent group of the senate, the Democratic house leader, Garner of Texas, and Representative Bacharach, Republican, Jersey, influential member of the last ways and means committee. Members of that committee ex- ject to meet soon to begin study- Ing tax proposals.

The Treasury ended the last fiscal year with a deficit of $903,000.000. The deficit a year ago was $171,514,528. The President may not reveal his tax views until the mesage to congress in December. He awaits a report from the Treasury as a bass for recommendations. Meanwhile, however, it is apparent he is going into the matter 'rom several angles.

Agent Files City Dry Charge After Raid Fails Finds No Liquor But Puts In Complaint of Nuisance A prohibition enforcement procedure new in Alton was a matter speculative comment at City Hall today when it was disclosed that J. J. Fenton, a prohibition enforcement agent, had filed a city complaint charging possession of liquor and maintenance of a common nuisance after he had made a raid at 3 mi Piasa street.
