LONDON, July 19.—-The only safe way to avoid the evils of drink is to sign the pledge as soon as you can write, says Sir William JoynsonHicks, British Home Secretary. “It was about 48 years ago that a person caught me and made me sign the pledge,” said the 62-year-old official recently. “I do not argue,” he said, “that it is riecessary for every man to sign the pledge, but it is the only safe way. If a man is caught young and learns scientifically the effects of alcohol and learns that his example is better than precept, it would be a great thing for the State. It is the young man who is going to mold the political life, of the future.”

COURT TO ACT ON WRIT PLEA • FROMSTEVE State’s Supreme Tribunal Convenes for Week’s Vacation Session. Four important matters were before Supreme Court Judges as they convened today for a week’s vacation session. _ They were: 1. Certification to Delaware Circuit Court of the United States Supreme Court’s mandate denying the appeal of George Dale, Muncie editor, from a ninety-day sentence for contempt of Judge Clarence W. Dearth’s court at Muncie. 2. D. C. Stepheonson’s appeal from La Porte Superior Court’s refusal to grant him a writ of habeas corpus, freeing him from Indiana State Prison, on the ground that the transcript upon which his murder case was sent from Marion Criminal Court to Hamilton Circuit Court was not signed by the county clerk here. Pay Case Is Up 3. Petition of Attorney General Arthur L. Gilliom for rehearing qi the legislative pay case. Supreme Court ruled the increase in legislators' pay of from $6 to $lO legal. Gilliom contends it is illegal. 4. Decision upon the citation of E. S. Shumaker, superintendent of the Indiana Anti-Saloon League, charging him with contempt of Supreme Court in his 1925 annual report, in which he declared some members of the court were “wet.” Dale was sentenced for contempt by Judge Dearth of the Delaware Circuit Court for critical articles regarding conduct of the court and selection of jurymen published in Dale's paper, “The Muncie PostDemocrat.” He was given ninety days and SSOO fine. Upon appeal, the Indiana Supreme Court gave its opinion that “truth of the articles was no defense.” This caused a nation-wide stir for the American principle of freedom of the press and a defense fund for Dale was raised by the New York World. Taken to the United States Supreme Court, the case was thrown out, upon the plea that no Federal question was involved. Mrs. Dale put a pardon plea before Governor Jackson and Us acceptance was urged by Joe Davis, Delaware County prosecutor. Delegation Voices Pica Attorney Tom Miller and a delegation of Muncie citizens appeared before Jackson and pointed out that the Dearth impeachment trial, held this spring before the Indiana Senate, had brought forth the* truth of all that Dale had said and urged that he not be punished for saying them. Since Dale was to be send to State Farm, Jackson put the matter in the hands of the trustees there. They recommended a parole upon committment and Jackson approved. The SSOO fine must be paid. Dale will be paroled when he reports at the State Farm. Approval was given Monday to a plea for time extension for the filing of the main Appeal brief in the Stephenson murder case. Several extensions already have been granted. The one Monday changes the final date for filing from July 25. to Sept. 24. Extension was asked by Attorney John H. Kiplinger, Rushville.

COLISEUM SITE OFFERSSECRET All Proposals Will Be Made Public at Same Time. Proposals for sites for the Indianapolis coliseum will be kept secret untjl all are received, the city coliseum board of managers decided today. * Six proposals were received. They were mostly from real estate men who have obtained options upon separate parcels making up the large tracts necessary for the site. The managers decided to keep proposals secret because they believe other promoters will more readily offer sites if there is no danger of their plans to secure options being hampered by others gaining opportunity to beat them to parcels of their tracts. ' L. H. Lewis, Indianapolis Real Estate Board president, offered cooperation of the board, and urged that a central location be selected and the building suited to a large variety of uses. He said citizens should be educated to* believe that the taxation necessary to construct the coliseum is worth while. President J. Edward Krause of the coliseum board, stressing the need for the convention center, said: “Indianapolis has been blowing a fog horn. I am in favor of blowing a bugle.”

BIBLE FLYLEAF BEARSTHREAT Writing Test Proves Guilt of Two Prisoners at Peru. Bn limes Sprrio'. PERU. Ind.. July 19—Using the flyleaf from a copy of the New Testament, Tony Companion and Glen Tillian, youthful prisoners in jail here, wrote a threatening note to Companion's mother. The note bore a crude drawing of a skull and cross bones. It read: “Leave your son out in two days or it will be your death.” Companion Is accused of threatening the lives of his mother and sisters because they would not give him a share of a $23,030 judgment awarded for the death of his father in a railroad accident several years ago. An appeal was taken by the railroad, which therefore has paid no money, but young Companion nevertheless demanded he be paid. The Tillian youth is held on a charge of stealing a bicycle. The two were brought into court after the note was delivered and ccm-' pelled to show their writing, the test resulting in both being blamed.
