"battles of the century." I, He was John Monk Saunders, the , writer, who was crowned unoffl- ( cfally after he claimed a knockout over Herbert Marshall, English actor, at a party attended by many film personages. The one .punch ei>"ounter occurred at the home of Ernst Lubitsch. director, during a party honoring Max Reinhardt, noted German producer. Accounts differed but It was agreed that Marshall was knocked , to the floor In the presence of Glor!u Swanson whom he had escorted to the Lubiteth home. Saunders said he struck the English actor after the latter called ; him a name and neglected to smile. "if he had read 'the Virginian' he never would have used that word without smiling." Saun-ders observ-. ed. "He clMn't so I felt it neces-; sary to let Mr. Marshall have one on the chin.” But Marshall denied there was any reason for him to have smiled. I "The only active part 1 played in ' this melodram* was to resent hLs insulting behavior to a lady at my table." Marshall said. The kidy he referred to was Mi#s Swanson. SHIP WATCHMAN GIVES EVIDENCE (CONTINUED FROM FAOE ONE I “B" deck he saw more smoke coming from ventilators connected with number two or three hold. Bender said he went to the writ- i ing room just as Daniel Campbell, assistant beverage steward, opened a locker. A white cloud of smoke giving the appearance of a chemical fire, puffed out of the locker, the witness said. A few minutes later suites 206208. both unoccupied, burst into flames. "I think that what happened In those rooms will ultimately show how the fire started." he said. HEAR ARGUMENT ON LIQUOR LAW CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE’ the law be enjoined. Attorneys for the three companies contended that the law is discriminatory, imposed a burden on inter-state commerce and is unfair to out-of state concerns. They charged that the importer setup is responsible for a great loss in business and alleged that uniform contracts of importers require cash payment of SSOO from breweries for the first year to sell their products. The attorneys pointed out that such a practice was unfair to out-of-state brewers because Indiana breweries can sell their products without the SSOO charge and without first contracting importers. Defending the Indiana liquor law. I Herbert Patrick, deputy attorney' general, asked that the suit be dismissed on the grounds that it was I illegally filed.. | Patrick said the case was against [ the importers and not against Gov. ) i Paul V. McNutt, Pau! Fry, excise j director, and Attorney General . Phißp Lutzz. Jr., as set out in the . Injunction petition. Brewery attorneys attempted to j show that the importers were appointed by the state government and thus were directly responsible to the three officials named in the ON CHILLY MORNINGS TRY Kentucky RED HOTS COAL $7.00 PER TON BURK ELEVATOR CO.

suit. Thomas F. O'Mara. Terre Haute, assistant counselor for the state explained that each importer Is licensed “like any other dealer." Patrick, In his motion for dis. missal of the suit, declared that to enjoin state officials from enforcing the state liquor law would wreck Indiana schools." He pointed out that thousands of dollars are returned each year from excise taxes to school units for support of educational institutions. ; Samuel Miller. Indianapolis attorney, representing the brewers, offered an amendment to the original complaint, setting out that the law was unconstitutional in that it was enacted before repeal of the 18th amendment. In defense of Miller's statement that the three plaintiffs were losing money in Indiana because of rigid regulation, Patrick presented figures to show that the AnhueserBusch company had transacted more than 3300,000 of business in the state last year on an investment of J 36.000.. Judge Fltzhenry ordered both sides to tile briefs within ten days and await setting of a final hearing ate.
