For buying $4,885 worth of I smuggled diamond rings and j bracelets from Albert N. Chap- | erau. confessed professional smug- . gler, Burns could have been imprisoned for IS years and fined $45,000. Instead, he was given a suspended one year and a day 1 sentence and fined SB,OOO. in addition, he had to pay $9,770 in pen- ; allies to the customs officers. Altogether, the fines and penalties I alone cost him four times the I value of the jewels, which were I presents for Miss Allen and which she now may keep. The $17,770 may not be deducted from his income tax, according to treasury | department regulations. I The couple boarded a Tians I continental and Western Air liner last night, traveling incognito as “Air. and Mrs Hamill." Burns will return Feb. 14 to testify i against his rival comedian, Jack Benny, who also is charged with ' having dealt with Chaperau in diamond jewels for his wife, Mary Livingstone. Good behavior is a requisite of Burns' probation. REBEL FORCES (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) up the road. On the coast, the nationalists asserted, they were beginning to lake quantities of motor transport and railroad cars: they were mov-, Ing too fast, apparently, for the loyalist.. to get their transport northward on the roads. The nationalists asserted also that among the gigantic spoils! which they took at Barcelona were two suitmarines, left in drydock. ,Wd four warships, apparently siHitll ones such as armed trawlers.\ Nationalist communiques asserted also,that they continued to take , large ngtiybers of prisoners andi deserters, and that they had, trapped one loyalist column, as’ yet. unidentified, not far from the coast.

leader, proposed that the state planning board be abolished. 5 A joint resolution was introduced by Sen. Alden Allison, Cou- < uersvllle Democrat, which would forbid any diversion of motor vej hide funds in the state government. A similar measure passed the 1937 session of the legislature and a referendum will be con1 ducted in 1940 if it passes again. The house, meanwhile, was having a quiet session principally deI voted to arguing whether the fishing license fees for women should be reduced to 50 cents. The bill finally passed 95 to 2 and this also applies to hunting licenses for women. Two other bills were passed by the house. One would establish an eight-hour day for policemen in third and fourth class cities and the other clarifies the payment of a wife's attorney fees by the husband in a divorce case. The senate went on an economy spree by killing two bills which called for added expenditures. One would have had the state take over the inspection of elevators j and the other would have permitt ed county commissioners from counties of 37,000 to 42.000 to raise the salaries of circuit court , judges. Walter Bermillion, D. predicts that any bill calling for increased salaries or unnecessary expenses would lie sidetracked during the rest of the session. Legislature leaders today expressed themselves as favorable to a 10 per cent reduction in operating expenses of state departments as the best way to cure Indiana's financial ills. o NEW BLIZZARD CONTINUED FKOM r.Aiih’ ONE) flood warnings.

In New Mexico state police with a patrol car and snow plow were fighting through drifts to reach an isolated community 48 miles northeast of Albuquerque where an airplane pilot sighted a huge word, •‘help,” cut in the snow. Flood Threat Indianapolis, Feb. 1 — (U.R) — The forecast of more snow and rain today caused grave apprehension as the northern part of the state recovered slowly from its first serious blizzard of the season and flood warnings were posted in southern sections. Although the danger of floods apparently was not immediate, the weather bureau and state highway department agreed that renewed rain and snow would aggravate already swollen streams. Tile White and Waliash rivers already have left their banks and inundated lowlands in several sections. Along the Ohio river, which a year ago devastated wide areas in one of the most serious floods of the century, the river was expected to climb over flood stage during the week At Evansville the riverstage was reported Ito lie rising, with a crest of 36 feet —one above flood stage—due Sunday or Monday. The rise was estimated at tour feet each 24 hours. COUNTY CLERK (CUNiINCLD FKOM fA-iK’ UNE) was shown that of tlie amount paid i ut during the year, $30543 13 was | paid into the county and state I treasury. The average paid into the treasury for the past three I years was $1,602.12, the report i shows. • The expenditures for 1938 fol- ’ low: court costs $1,778.93; marriage licenses, $708; miscellaneous, $239.55; docket, $142.50; jury fees, ,$21.50 fines and forfeitures $210.20; sheriff fees, $321.60; prosecuting atI torney fees. $120.85; fish and game $4,311,80; support, $6,112.58; printl era’ foes. $761.67 ; other trust tees, ' $24,445.30.
