STATE WAR ON ‘GAS 'LEGGERS' SEENRZZLING Ouster of Democratic Aid on Leslie's Order, Net Result So Far. A political, rather than economic, victory is the result, so far, of the drive against gasoline bootleggers launched three months ago by Governor Harry G. Leslie. The political victory consists in retirement of Marshall Williams, Democratic state committee secretary, from the state auditor’s pay roll. Auditor Floyd E. Willimson employed Williams on part-time legal wrok in connection with gasoline tax cases. But Leslie put Earl Stroup, deputy attorney-general, on the job to do some special probing in connection with alleged tax evasion and Williams was retired. Williamson, who made no public announcement of Williams employment, made none of his retirement. Questioned ioaay, he explained: "I knew, of course, the law provides the attorney-general’s office shall be counsel in these gas tax cases. But I had Williams doing some special work. He completed the Job in about three months and there was nothing else for him to do.” Stroup is “getting along fine with the work,” Williamson also asserted, but just what has been done remains a mystery. For, under the present regime, name of gas tax evaders are not made public. Many are given an opportunity to make back payments on the installment plan, after being caught, it was charged by the committee which sought Leslie’s aid in the matter. This committee, headed by H. L. Rauch of the Indian Refining Company and composed of large oil company representatives, is the Indiana branch of a nation-wide movement called the gas tax evasion committee. Their efforts in Illinois resulted in conviction last'week of Abe Allen, operator of the so-called Midway Refining Company, who was engaged in bootlegging gasoline from Indiana into Illinois. Allen was sentenced and fined $3,000. His Indiana operations were reported to the attorney-general’s office here more than two years ago, acfcording to Sam Hurd, secretary of the Indiana code committee. Nothing ever came of it. Allen once escaped conviction in Illinois on the grounds he did not have a dealer’s license and therefore was not within the jurisdiction of the state, Hurd said. EX-COP IS DIVORCED Mrs. Myrtle Thayer Given Decree by Superior Judge Williams. Mrs. Myrtle Thayer, 1516 Lowell avenue, wife of Harry Thayer, former Indianapolis policeman, dismissed from the force last October for conduct unbecoming an officer, was granted a divorce today by Superior Judge Joseph R. Williams. Miss Gertrude Cohen of 1117 North Capitol avenue, implicated with Thayer when he was discharged by the safety board, was named co-respondent.

IS HELD Fights Sunday Tow-In Case: Legality Questioned. Herbert M. Spencer, assistant city attorney, who wrote the city’s automobile tow-in ordinance does not know whether it applies to parking on Sunday, according to a police report of a case which resulted in arrest of Thomas F. O’Connor, an attorney, with offices at 509 Inland bank building. O’Connor is to be tried this afternoon by Municipal Judge Clifton R. Cameron on a charge of parking in a prohibited area. He parked his car for ten minutes Sunday afternoon in front of Keith’s theater and the car was impounded. Shortly afterwards he encountered Spencer and asked if the ordinance applied on Sunday, and Spencer today said he replied: "I don’t know.” Reports that he had been retained to defend O’Connor were denied by Spencer, who pointed out he would be on the other side of the case.
