BRYSON URGES INCREASED USE OF JR MAIL Contractor Expects to Get Service on Paying Basis in Short Time. While patronage of the Cincin-natl-Indianapolis-Chicago air mail route has been satisfactory since Its start Dec. 17. Increased use of this most modern form of mail transportation was urged today by Postmaster Robert H. Bryson. Bad weather has affected service since Dec. 17, planes being prevented from making twelve trips because of extremely bad weather. Transcontinental planes faced the same difficulties. During January an average of seven pounds of air mail left Indianapolis for Chicago for transfer to transcontinental planes. The heaviest day was Jan. 31, when nearly twenty-one pounds was carried. On that day one package bearing $42 postage was sent by an Indianapolis business firm to San Francisco, Cal. On Paying Basis Soon The Embree-Riddle Company, Cincinnati, contractors for the route expect to have the service on a paying basis within sixty days, Bryson said. With the start of night flights between Chicago and Dallas, Tex., giving overnight service between Indianapolis and Kansas City, Mo.; Tulso Ponca City and Oklahoma City, Okla.; Ft. Worth and Dallas, Tex., business is expected to be increased. Passengers will be carried on the route probably within a month. An an example of the time saved by the air service, Bryson pointed out a letter mailed to San Francisco by air requires twenty-five and onehalf hours to reach its destination, while railroad mail requires sixtysix and one-half hours. Business Men Use Service A letter mailed at 3 p. m. here one day will reach New York at 6:15 a. m. next morning by air and 1:51 p. m. by rail. Seventeen-hour service by air between Indianapolis and Dallas now is available, compared with thirty-nine hours by rail. Several of the larger business houses here have begun to make regular use of the service, where loss of time would occasion financial loss. TAX CASE IS APPEALED Fight Judge’s Ruling That State Board Exceeds Powers. Decision of Judge Orlo R. Deahl of St. Joseph Superior Court that the State tax board exceeds its powers in reducing tax levies has been appealed to the Supreme Court. The appeal was filed today by Philip Zoercher, tax board member. Deahl declared that the board had exceeded its constitutional powers in ordering reductions, and that the act under which such action is taken is unconstitutional. Members of the tax board have contended that if the power of reduction were taken from the body, the citizens would have' no recourse from extravagant governments.

By United Press • WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.—Representatives of all interested parties in the Wilson-Vare election contest were summoned before a Senate Privileges and Elections subcommittee today for instruction in the technique of counting ballots. Chairman Waterman of the subcommittee was to lay before representatives of William S. Vare, William B. Wilson, the Privileges and Elections Committee and the Reed Primary Investigating Committee a plan of procedure for the recount of ballots cast in five Pennsylvania counties at the last senatorial election. The recount was demanded by Wilson after he had been declared defeated by Vare. He alleged false returns for Vare in Philadelphia, Allegheny, Delaware, Lackawa, Luzerne and Suylkill Counties, and ballots from those districts will be recounted. Ballot boxes from Philadelphia and Allegheny Counties, where Philadelphia and Pittsburgh respectively are located, have been gatherirife dust in the basement of the Senate office building here since last spring when they were gathered up by the Reed committee.
