ROAD PROBERS ' PREPARE FOR MOREHEARINGS Chairman Declares Charges Against Commission Have Been Established. Senate inquiry into state highway affairs was at a standstill today, while the quiz committee prepared to question the principal figures, Director John J. Brown and Commissioner Jess Murden, early next week. “We anticipate that their testimony will more than prove the points made in my resolution,” Senator Charles L. Strey, chairman of the committee and author of the resolution, declared today. The resolution charged the highway administration with failure to collect $3,500,000 in federal aid funds while at the same time going into debt $2,500,000 at a time when the federal money was sorely needed for drought and unemployment relief. It also alleged effort to bring political pressure on the United States bureau of roads. A short session of the committee Thursday afternoon was devoted to questioning George E. Hershman, former state highway commissioner, and Chairman Albert J. Wedeking of the commission. Wedeking had been on the stand the day before and the questioning Thursday added no new evidence, nor did it contribute to the progress of the probe. Strey and Senator Anderson

SCHMELING IS ARRESTED FOR BOY’SBEATING Fighter Accused of Hurling Young Process Server Down Stairs. By United Press NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-Max Schmeling, German heavyweight boxing champion of the world, was free today on bail after he had been held on a writ of capias served on him Thursday, charging assault on a 120-pound process server. The arrest was the sequel to an incident in the Hotel Commodore in New York last Monday, when Schmeling is alleged to have thrown the complainant, James Rahl, 19, down a flight of stairs when the latter tried to serve a summons on him. The champion was arrested at the Summit Golf Club as he was eating luncheon in the club’s restaurant. Bail was supplied by George Ward of Cranford, former welterweight boxer. Rahl, who claims he has been confined to bed by his injuries, asks $25,000, and his father asks SIO,OOO more in the action. The boy claims he was employed to serve the summons on Schmeling by Samuel White, a lawyer, in a suit brought by Charles Rose, a promoter, to collect some of the champion’s earnings. When he approached Schmeling with the paper, the boy said, the

champion grabbed him by the collar and seat of the pants and threw him down a flight of fifteen steps. Joe Jacobs, manager of Schmcling, has denied all the charges, saying another member of the party escorted Rahl to the hotel doormen, who ejected him. Schmeling said little about the matter. His command of English was commented upon today in a story concerning his receiving a loving cup recently in Philadelphia. “Id iss nize, but I can no spik English goot,” he wss quoted as having said. “So I let my manager talk goot English for me.” Whereupon Joe Jacobs arose and said, “a lot of youse guys don’t think this guy Schmeling is a reel champion, but never mind. He’s a reel champeen, and I wanna say youse folks in this town gotta good chance to getta champeen fight right here in Philly.” CITY PIONEER BURIED L. S. Pierson Laid to Rest at Crown Hill. Funeral sendees for L. S. Pierson, 80, of 519 East Michigan street, retired contractor, were held at 2 this afternoon at the residence. Burial was in Ctowti Hill cemetery.

For several years he was president of the Indianapolis Builders’ Exchange and the Central States Bridge Company. Survivors are a daughter, Mrs. John B. Schramm, and three sons, Ora C., Charles B. and Emmet H. Pierson, all Indianapolis contractors.

GRAVEL ROAD LAW DOOMED Only Foes Appear at Hearing on Repeal Proposal. Repeal of the three-mile gravel read law probably will be recommended by the house committee on roads, it was indicated today as a result of the attack on the act by three speakers at a public hearing Thursday night. Not one proponent of the statute appeared. Because the committee lacked a quorum action on the repeal bill will be deferred. “Abuse of the three-mile law In many counties” was charged by Representative William J. Black <Dem., Madison), who said that only contractors and attorneys are interested in retaining it. Tax rate for retirement of township road bonds ranges from 20 cents to more than 50 cents on each SIOO of taxables and maintenance levies are still higher, declared Willis C. Nusbaum, attorney for the Indiana Taxpayers Assocation, in urging repeal. Representative Edward E. Eikenbary (Dem., Wabash) also struck at the present measure.
