INDIANA STILL ' LETS 11. S. AID FUNDS PILE UP Road Commissioners Collect Less Than Million of $7,713,442. Indiana state highway commissioners have collected less than *1,000.000 of the $7,713,442.57 in federal aid which was permitted to pile up to the state's credit last Jear. But by the end of July the department hopes to have collected nearly $2 000.000 of the normal and emergency federal aid funds, it was announced today by Ralph Simpson, chief clerk. Meanwhile, the department has Issued a financial statement setting out that they have plans afoot to collect all of the federal aid this year. Their failure to do so last season resulted in a senate investigation. Facts to date show that on Jan. 1. 1931, the department had a total of *7.713,442.57 to its credit at Washington. Os this sum $5,667,513.57 was normal federal aid and $2,045.929 an emergency federal aid appropriation. By June 30 the department had collected only $842,202.86. Os the total collected. $514,444.46 was from normal federal aid and $327.715840 from the emergency allotment. Another $1,000,000 will be collected fcy the end of July, Simpson predicted. This will leave about $6,000,000 ill remaining uncollected. But the department financial statement publicity sets out that "the department has absorbed all of th'e emergency federal aid, and absorbed by contracts awarded and in actual prosecution, the sum of f 4,870,226.15 from the noral federal aid fund, leaving a balance of *797,287.42.'’ ‘Absorbed 1 ' seems to be something different from “collected.” The department statement continues: “Os this balance 15797,287.42), plans and specifications have been approved by the' bureau of public roads to obligate half a million dollars, leaving a balance of only about $260,000 iederal money unobligated. However, this unobligated balance will be absorbed during this year, officials says. 'Had the bureau approved all plans and specifications submitted, the Indiana highway commission would stand in the unique position of having applied for nearly a quarter of a million dollars more federal aid than is available to Indiana in 1931.” But the federal bureau has refused to O.

SEARCH IN LOTTERY CASE IS ATTACKED

Alleged Operators of ‘Suit Club’ File Piea to Quash Charge. Court, fight to block police charges that they were the operators of a lottery was begun today by Mitchell Levine and Robert Zeff, accused of promoting the “tailor’s pool in Indianapolis. Motion to quash the charges on the contention that the search warrant used in a raid was faulty was filed with Municipal Judge William H. Sheaffer by Henry Winkler, defense counsel. The men were arrested Monday when Sergeant Edwin Kruse and squad raided the L. J. Reynolds Company, 501-02 Lemcke building. Police said they found evidence of the alleged pool’s operation under the guise of a tailoring shop and “suit club.” Sheaffer will receive defense briefs Saturday and will reopen the case Wednesday. The defense petition charged the search warrant failed to set out specifically the articles found in the place and that two warrants were needed because each room of the company bore a separate number. Under these contentions, Winkler charged vagueness and uncertainty in the warrant and asserted the place was entered without legal right. According to officers, Levine and Zeff had been operating a $1 daily pool. The police claim the men admitted to them that they did not pay large prizes. A series of tickets and names of alleged players of the purported pool were found in the raid. Kruse said “membership” in the suit club was gained by purchase of

a $1 ticket with the ‘ privilege” of "playing” the alleged pool. At the end of forty weeks the “customer” was given a cheap suit. The earth is belted with more than 300,000 miles of submarine cables, over 100,000,000 miles of telephone wires, and 5.000,000 miles of telegraph cables.
