'JUNE 26,1930. THE KOZOMO TRIBUNJE3--PAGE 1(5 $1,700,000 Stock Issue May Mean $500,000 Taxes to Miami Peru, Juno 25--On request of Grant Hosteller, of Peru, auditor of Miami county, the state tax board held a hearing In Indianapolis Tuesday to determine whether the $1,700,000 stock issue of the American Circus corporation, held by the late Jerry Mugivan, Peru circus king, his wife, Bert Bowers, Peru banket', and other stockholders, to the purchase of the stock by the Ringltng Brothers Cli'- CUB corporation, was subject to taxation in Indiana. Auditor Hostetler charged that neither Mugivan nor the other stockholders returned this stock for taxation at any time since it was issued in 1921. If the-' board rules that this stock was subject to taxation in this state it may lead to an attempt on the part of Miami county to recover more than $500,000 in back taxes, from the Mugivan estate, from the widow, from Bowers and from other former stockholders. Albert Ward, former U.

S. district attorney of Peru, appeared in behalf of the stockholders at Wednesday's hearing; Flood Barrier Progressing Five hundred yards of dirt are being removed by the Swing Shields Son Construction company of Indianapolis, from the first of three islands beingr removed east of the concrete bridge.

Senger returned to Peru Friday and is reported to be on.the road to recovery. HE'S A "REGULAR GUY'V-SO HE'S STILL IN THE MOVIES, AFTER 20 YEARS i By Dan Thomas. Hollywood, Kohler is a regular guy. And that, in his opinion, is the main reason he-still-is enjoying success bcjfore the fickle movie cameras. "I have been in pictures for 20 years and during that time have seen a lot of actors come and go," Kohler declared.

"Of course, yoti can't give any one, reason why actors succeed or fail. There are too many factors involved. But I have noticed that the fellows who let a little success go to their heads never lasted very long, He Likes Everybody. "However, that isn't the reason I try to treat everyone just as I did in the years when I was a nobody just breaking in. It just seems natural for me to like everybody and I can't see any reason why I should consider myself better than anybody else because I happen to make a little more money, "Every single person, in this industry is essential to it.

it were not for the prop boys, carpenters, electricians, cameramen and all of the others behind the scenes there wouldn't be any motion pictures and consequently there wouldn't be any actors. So why should we put ourselves above them? Fred Kohler. "Besides that, if it wasn't for motion pictures, I probably would be driving an ice wagon Or doing something else of that nature. I was on the stage before I came into pictures but I didn't like it and I wouldn't have stayed." A stranger hearing Fred make those remarks might think he was boasting. A friend knows differently because Fred doesn't boast.

The remarks came out one afternoon while we were chewing the rag out at his "ranch," about 20 miles from Hollywood. Furthermore they are true. Any laborer on his sets will tell you that. Outside of the studio Kohier isn't at all the villain his screen followers might expect-him to be. A smile is almost continually about his mouth and he enjoys a good laugh more than anything else.

A Success as a "Heavy." But he can look pretty ferocious if he wants, to. That, coupled with his 'tremendously powerful build, probably is the reason for his success as a "heavy," Kohler made such a success in silent film's that he was given' a long-term contract- by Paramount early in the game a.nd played outstanding roles in many of their pictures. That contract expired just about the time sound was being adopted by pictures. The new medium made no difference to him. He continued being successful just, the same.

As he now, is the possessor of a long-term contract with First National.

Pieces of Dow Richardson. Galveston's First Citizen, Ellen Mellon, was in town Wednesday to buy her supply of fireworks for next "week. Reporters met her coming radiantly out of the city hall. Mrs. Mellon will be 149 next October.

"Hello boys," she called gaily. "I have just been 3n to see Henry about the Vets 1 Hospital. I suppose you want to know my stand on that. Well, I'll tell you. I'm in favor i i it to Indianapolis, We other towns in this state are hogging- it alJ.

Got the whole plant of the Old Hickory Furniture Company down there besides all those sanitariums. Who'll want to go to Indianapolis any more if they don't get something down there? Of course, Henry wants the Hospital here and I don't blame him, I've gone senescent taking my house guests out to Highland Park to see the Bears," The little old impassioned plea had made its impression on the gentlemen of. the press. Pencils raced across note pads.

"Let's see, do I know all you boys?" asked the meteoric little old woman who is considered A-l copy when in Kokomo. "Where's Carter Tull? Oh, hiding behind that camera, You and your pictures. Carter!

Is any of you boys from the Herald-Examiner? Oh, go on and admit it. I was about to praise you for your story on Kokomo getting the hospital. I was telling Charlie Dawes about it, and he asked where had I seen it, In College Humor?" The grand old lady was growing tired, and jmid so. "I can't stand these long interviews like I used to," she said, "-but before I go I suppose I shall ha.ve to give you a story. I was in consulting the Mayor on a new civic platform for this summer.

Yes, I've had some carbon copies of it made. Will you give one of these to Ovid Lane? I want, him to write this up, Now, get the planks: "1. A shower in the Elks club. "2. A swimming pool at the Foster tennis courts.

"3. Give the hospital to Indianapolis. "4. Keep the postofflce in Kokomo, "5, No sale of firecrackers before July 5, and enforced, prohibition of shooting them except on the firsl; four days of July." With that the little old lady tilted her provocative little head and stepped down to the curb where a big white Diamler was coasting to a stop," "And, boys," she cried, turning! her head, "I'll be back July 4 for the Kokomo celebration." Kal Vinegar (for' it was none other than he) honked the Daimler's horn and the little lady climbed into the car and they were away.

Barnett and his crew of whalers here with the Pacific Whaling "Company's big whale exhibit have been busy clay night with local visitors 'explaining, whales and whaling and answering the barrage of questions put to them by the youngsters that visited the exhibition since the opening here Tues- a night. Among the facts brought out about whales, which are not generally known, the cannot swallow anything larger than an ordinary sized cantefoupe for their throat is only five or six inches large. The whale on exhibition here, captured by the Captain' last February, is the big black fin-back type of whale, one of twenty-seven species. This whale found generally in the hot currents, travels the globe once every year. The young when born weigh about two tons and they are weaned by the mother whale after a period of eight months.

The mother whale hooks flippers with the baby -whale when they travel through the water, The young whale matures in two years and grows very rapidly, and within three are averaged size. Only two species, according to the captain have teeth, these the killer-whale which has upper and; lower teeth and the speirm whale which has only lower teeth. The sword-fish and the large shark are natural enemies- to the whale and. will often kill one. The whale however can dive to great depths and can escape both the "sword-fish and the sharks.

The whale is guided as is the shark by small pilot fish in all their movements. The exhibition as presented here by the Pacific Whaling Company offers a very good biological study and students of natural history will get a better view of the whale and learn more of the peculiarities the 'mammal than by observing one in the ocean, for only the back is visible in the water. The exhibit will be on view in Kokomo, at the Cloverleaf station, where it ia parked on a railway car, until tomorrow afternoon, THE Tho finish of the annual Ohio- River Steamboat Race at Cincinnati, as it 'seems! to a person aboard one of the racing packets, will be described to radio listeners, Saturday, June 28.
