* EXPECT DATE FOR SHUMAKER RULING TO BE DESIGNATED Chief Justice Myers Due to Return—Attorney CitesErrors in Report. With David A. Myers, chief Justice of the Indiana Supreme Court, due to return to his office today, it was expected that a day would be designated late this month when the court will meet to decide on what punishment, if any, will be imposed on Dr. Edward S. Shumaker, Indiana Anti-Saloon League superintendent, for alleged contempt. James Bingham, Shumaker’s chief attorney, today filed a. motion for the court to reject and disregard the report of the committee, quoting the State Constitution's provisions that, all crimes shall be defined specifically ,by statute. Other members of the court also were expected to return today and probably will give some attention to the latest pleading of Shumaker’s attorneys to discharge the defendant. In a document filed late on Wednesday by Bingham errors are cited in the majority report of tne court’s special advisory committee, which found Shumaker guilty. Denial is made that Shumaker falsified in his annual statement to the league, which was made the basis of a contempt information by Attorney General Arthur L. Gilliom. Objection Not Waived Bfngham refused to waive his original objection to the appoint ment of the committee and to consideration by the court of any of the committee's recommendations. Bingham's brief declares that the majority finding Is based on the discarded English law that “the Kits* can dt> no wrong.” ‘‘There is not a disrespectful word to be found in the annual report of the league,” Bingham declared. Shumaker had denominated the body as '“wet” and had complained of its “splitting of judicial hairs.” Point in Dale Case Bingham seized upon the point raised earlier this week by attorneys for George R. Dale. Muncie publisher, now involved in a contempt case, that there is no statute in Indiana defining criminal contempt arui fixing the penalty. Gilliom is preparing anew answer to Bingham's latest pleadings. He is expected to reply to the ms .iorlty report that Ethan A. Miles and Jess E. Martin, league attorneys, have purged themselves of their part in preparing the report. Cas sius C.
