When his bo'uy was found, the spectacles had been placed carefully on the top of his dresser. Thomas still was wearing his spectacles when he was found. The coroner's office was ordered to inspect William's spectacles for fingerprints. The elder Callahan said he went into the parlor early in the evening. before William and Thomas went to their room. His deafness is so complete he could not have heard the shots, he said. When Robert informed him of his discovery, he asked a neighbor to call police. Callahan formerly was a weil-to I do certified public accountant. Re i cently he had been on relief. The mother was absent when the bodies were discovered. She said she was attending a neighbor'd child for the evening. Officers quoted her as saying: “both boys were happy. I don't know how this could have happened.

His wife's sudden death, two ’ weeks ago caused a temporary i postponement of his own plans. It also was responsible, he said, for I the fact that he couldn't find a collar to wear on the occasion of his sermon. The crowd apparently was larger than he expected. He had planned to be carried from the church to the cemetery in his coffin, but the press of the crowd prevented it. He compromised by posing | for photographers with his hand on the hand-hewn oak coffin which rested beside him on the altar. The tombstone, imported from Switzerland, he bad exhibited proudly in the church cemetery while ho waited impatiently for his audience to arrive. Only the insistence of the pastor, the Rev. L. P. Sample, kept him from starting his sermon early. Sample and the audience cooperated with an eight-minute prayer and the hymn, "When they call the roll up

yonder I’ll be there.” Millman's voice was too feeble to carry to those outside. He became aware of this toward the end, and finished hurriedly with a quotation: "Let me die unremembered, “Let me lie in my grave unmolested.” 0 Special Meeting At Elks Home Tonight A special meeting of the Decatur lodgo of the B.

But briefs filed by the Great Atlantic and Pecific Tea company and others challenging the law. asserted that if the Louisiana tax was approved and its pattern widely followed ‘the era of the national chain is over.” The vote on the Louisiana case was four to three. Justices George Sutherland, James C. Mcßeynolds, and Pierce Butler dissented. Justices Harlan F Stone and Willis Van Devanter did not participate. The Louisiana law sets up 16 different classifications. Where a chain has a total of 10 stores or fewer anywhere in the world, each Louisiana store of the chain must pay a tax of $lO. The 1

highest tax is paid by chains hav- [ ing more than 500 stores. They must pay a tax of $550 a year on each store they operate in Louisiana. The Atlantic and Pacific noted that it must pay the highest rate on each of more than 100 stores it operates in the state because of its total chain of 15.084 stores while, if the scale were regulated on tho basis of Louisiana stores only it would have to pay but SSO per establishment. A large number of other chain store companies joined in the fight on the law. The case was brought in the feedral court for the eastern district of Louisiana where a three judge court ruled in favor of the law. o Shakeup Expected In Statehouse Employes Indianapolis.
