KIDNEY Judge Benjamin M. Willoughby today assumed the chief justiceship of the Indiana supreme court for the May term, starting with one of the most crowded dockets in the court’s history.

The criminal docket still carries such ancient appeals as the murder case of D. C. Stephenson, which first was filed in the supreme court clerk’s office Oct. 27, 1926.

Duvall's case rests, with thirty-four others, awaiting the court’s conclusion on whether or not the appellate court has final jurisdiction in misdemeanors, as provided under the 1929 statute.

Since then, thirty-four cases have been transferred for similar reasons, but there have been no rulings from the court. Tire law was passed as an emergency measure to aid in clearing the supreme court docket. It goes out of effect on Jan. 1, 1931.

On Hoof You’re Weighed as You Stand at Penny Pound for Plane Rides at Airport.

IF you air your avoirdupois you can take your avoidupois for an airing. For the city airports in their effort to lift Hoosiers off the gas pedal and lure them away from the golf tee and the radio settee offer w’eek-end plane rides to the Mrs. Fats and Mister Leans at a penny a pound. You are weighed in “on the hoof,” topcoat and all, and for every pound of “heft” you pay a cent for a hop into the ozone.

But the scales, besides weighing in rn abundance of flesh and comedy, have their drawbacks. Take Sunday at the Hoosier airport when a portly woman stepped up to the ticket window to get her air passage. “What! Get on those scales. I should say not. Isn’t there some way I can ride without being weighed in front of this crowd,” she exclaimed. The crowd chuckled. The victim of the chuckles took her ride, but it was for $5 sans Ihe scales. “Oh! Gertie isn’t this too awful for words. Look at that indicator. One hundred thirty-two pounds. It can’t be mister, why I just got weighed Saturday down at the five-and-ten. Y'cur scales are off, mister,” argued a buxom woman as she paid her ride fee.

Timid souls approaching Janies F. (Tot) Douglass, Capitol airport pilot, with their penny-a-paund-pass-age often remark, ‘Say, go easy with me. This is my first trip up.” “Sure I will,” jokingly replies Tot, “it’s my first, too.” Tipping isn’t confined to pavement taxis, for at Hoosier airport Sunday, French Livezy, pilot, pocketed a dollar tip as he brought one man to earth. A passenger awaiting Livezy’s plane asked. “Do you have to tip to get down safely?” Age or extreme youth are no lines of demarcation for the bargain rides. “Eighty-four rides with the four-year-old.” Charles E. Cox Jr., Curtiss Flying Service official, avers. Romance seems to permeate the “pound-patrons.” “No matter how young or how old, they want to make love as soon as we leave the ground,” declares M. C. Hack, Capitol airport pilot.

“We settle the clinches easy enongh. A drop of the plane’s nose and love flies out of the cockpit,” Hack explained. “A little child shall lead them” seems to be the best persuasion to adults to take them up in the air unless they're like this man at Hoosier airport Sunday. “Oh! goody, papa, are we going to take a ride.” a boy exclaimed as he neared the scales. “Don't be silly. Get on the scales and get weighed for nothing,” admonished the economical parent. Garden to Aid Jobless B>f Tim l * SrrriaJ KOKOMO, Ind..

BAIRD United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, May 26.—Wets were calling on senators and representatives to say frankly whether they favored repealing the eighteenth amendment, and drys were belittling the importance of straw votes today at the beginning of this week’s installment of America’s prohibition epic. “Do you favor the repeal of the eighteenth amendment to the Constitution of the United States?” queried President Henry Curran of the Association Against the Prohibition Amendment, apparently seeking a plain “Yes or no” answer. “The time has come,” he explained, “when the people wish to know the attitude of their representatives in congress toward this great question.” It now is estimated about twenty of the ninety-six senators are against federal prohibition, while in the house the wets are supposed to have between sixty and 120 votes and the drys the remainder of the 435 members. Politicians were warned Sunday by F. Scott Mcßride, superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League, not to take the wet result of the Literary Digest’s poll too seriously in setting their compasses. About 20,000,000 ballots were distributed by the Digest. Some 5,000,000 votes were returned. Mcßride, commenting on these figures, said “no one believes” wets predominated among the 15,000,000 who kept their ballots at home.

SCORES ACTION IN TAX REFUND U. S. Treasury Lost Huge Sum, Garner Says, j Tin I'vitrd Press WASHINGTON, May 26.—House Minority Leader Garner believes the United States treasury has lost at least $9,000,000 and possibly $26,000,000 by its failure to take the United States Steel Corporation’s refund to court. He made this charge Sunday night on the basis of the United States court of claims’ ruling in the Packard Motor Car cate, which ! Garner said involved the same is- | sue—the elimination o£ inter-com- ! pany profits. He said the court’s decision showed the rule used by ! the treasury was wrong. ! Accusing the treasury department ; of “gross negligence,” Garner said: j “If the rule laid down by the | court of claims had been followed !in the steel case, we would have I saved $6,000,000 in principal and $3,000,000 in interest. If the same : rule applies to the $26,000,000 rej fund of 1917 taxes to this corpora- ! tion, and I am convinced it does, we would have saved $17,000,000 principal alone by taking the case into court.” Garner has pending in the house a resolution for investigation of tax | refunds by the treasury department.

RIOTING FLARES ANEW IN INDIA ON SALT RAIDS Several Killed and Scores Injured in Clashes With Police. BY WEBB MILLER I’nited Press Staff Correspondent (CoovriKht 1930. bv United Press! BOMBAY India. May 26—The Nationalist civil disobedience campa’gn was intensified today by renewal of violence in widely separated areas and by appeals of certain independence leaders for a resort to armed struggle. The most serious outbreak was at Rangocr. in Burma, where independence. agitators were held responsible m part for inciting striking dock workers to a riot. Twelve persons were killed and more than fifty wounded. The salt raids in the Bombay area were renewed today when volunteers clashed with police again at the Wadala works, twelve miles from Bombay, and carried away about fifty pounds of salt. Forty-three of the eighty-three raiders were arrested. Several persons were injured in a salt raid at Karachi and disturbances were reported from Dacco and Calcutta. Police clashed with strikers in the cloth mills at Delphi and were stoned, advices received today said. About fifty persons were injured Five British sergeants were injured when a mob of 30,000 to 40,000 Indians again raided the Wadala salt pans Sunday. In an attack much more violent than the forays a week ago. More than 700 persons have been arrested there in the past week. Police used their bambo sticks on the mob. injuring many. Before dispersing the mob succeeded several times in breaking police cordons and permitting the Ghandi volunteers to invade the pans and carry away large quantities of salt. Mounted Punjabi police helped charge the mob, belaboring natives with clubs. Because the salt pan area is two and one-half miles long, the police were unable to cope with the screaming mob once passions were loosed. Sections of the crowd rushed from place to place tearing down the barbed wire fence and keeping the defenders on the jump. Native police armed with rifles acted as flying squadrons in motor trucks inside the salt pan area, but the rifles went unfired.

Bu United Press TOKIO, May 26.—An event that altered the history of the Far East and convinced the world of Japan’s greatness as a naval power will be vividly recalled Tuesday when the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Battle of the Japan sea is celebrated throughout the empire. The Battle of the Japan sea (or to be more correct of Tsushima Strait) spelled the doom of Russia in the Russo-Japanese war, for in the naval clash Admiral Counjt Heihachiro Togo smashed the czar’s Baltic fleet and captured or sank nearly all of its ships on May 27, 1905.

He is expected to be received in audience by the emperor and later make an address at a formal gathering of Japanese naval officers, government officials and other dignitaries.
