STATE BEER CONTROL ACT IS VOID, JUDGE BAKER RULES

Provisions for Importers and Rules for Sale Are Illegal, He Says. POINTS TO ‘MONOPOLY’ Court Declares No Penalty Will Be Assessed If Food Is Not Served. ]<ll L II It 111 I'ITU* HAMMOND, Ind.. April 28.—Affidavits alleging that contributions of s.">oo to the Democratic campaign fund are demanded from persons seeking beer importers’ licenses were admitted in evidence by Judge V. S. Reiter today during a hearing on constitutionality of the state beer control act. Licensing provisions of the state beer control bill and rules regarding sale and consumption of “three-two’ beer were declared unconstitutional too by Criminal Judge Frank i Baker in a written opinion. "The legislature has tried to do by law what A1 Capone did in Chicago with machine guns," Baker declared, after reading his opinion. In reference to the establishment of an excise director, and importers in established state districts, as well as permits for breweries, Baker held the law unconstitutional, citing provision of the Constitution against state import or export duties. "This is the creation of a monopoly, is in restraint of trade and against public policy, and is unconstitutional and of no force and effect,” the opinion said.

Lashes Importers Provision Limiting authority of drug stores, confectioneries and others to sell beer, but not to permit it to be consumed on the premises, was held void, with the comparison that the legislature could not regulate consumption of ‘‘ice cream sodas.” The opinion ponted out that section 41 of the control bill provides that sections not held void shall remain in effect, and on this grounds definition and penalties for public intoxication were held constitutional by Baker. Following his remarks. Baker dismissed charge of public drunkenness against Gladys Townsend, Negro, 727 Ogden street, for ‘‘lack of evidence.” ‘‘Any one may import 3.2 per cent beer without the permit of the legislature or the director created by this act, and it may be imported in bottles, kegs, or barrels, and the legislature has no power to determine otherwise," the opinion stated. Ruling Doesn't Change Law In a statement after leaving the bench. Baker announced his intention of freeing any one brought into c’iminal court charged with violations of the state licensing provisions. “Any charges on manufacture, importing or sale of 3.2 beer without a permit will be dismissed in this court," Baker declared. "Does that apply to persons serving beer without food?" he was ssked by newspaper men. ‘‘Certainly. You might as well legislate that lemonade can not be served unless it is drunk through a straw." Baker replied. "However, my ruling does not change the law, or its enforcement for public drunkenness," Baker said. "These cases will be handled as usual.” Wilson to Enforce Law Prosecutor Herbert E. Wilson was present when Baker read his opinion. In a statement later, Wilson declared that all violations of the control bill would bring action by his office. "There will be no letdown in the enforcement of the law from this office.” Wilson said. "As long as the police continue to arrest violators. we will prepare cases against them and prosecute them in court." The Townsend case was appealed from municipal court three by Edward McElfresh. county pauper attorney. By bringing the case into criminal court, way was paved for Baker’s decision. No defense had been offered in the case that she had been drinking only 3.2 per cent beer, which was basis of a defense in municipal court recently, and overruled by the court. Baker's opinion cited that the eighteenth amendment still is in force regarding intoxicating beverages. thereby preventing any state from regulating drinks of an intoxicating nature.

PARLEY BRINGS NEW PROGRESS ON WAR DEBTS Roosevelt and Herriot Join in Statement of Advance Toward Solution. BY JOSEPH H. BAIRD United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, April 28.—Progres on war debt negotiations was reported today by President Roosevelt and former Premier Edouard Herriot of France, in a joint statement issued at the White House. This advance in the international attack upon problems which have delayed world economic recovery was coupled with the disclosure that a resolution opening the way for tariff readjustments is ready for presentation in the senate. It was learned also that the White House is planning issuance later of a communique summarizing all developments of this week's conferences between President Roosevelt and representatives of Great Britain, France and Canada. The Roosevelt-Herriot statement declared that the debt discussions had “proved to be of value” and were of "the most frank and friendly character.” After the statement was issued, the President and M. Herriot entered into their final conversations in the Oval room of the White House. The tariff resolution would give to the President the power of negotiating for lowered tariff rates, instead of following the lengthy route of congressional actibn. Another development in the international economic situation was the revelation at the state department that M?y 10 has been set tenatively as the date for a conference of experts from the four large wheat-producing countries at Geneva. The countries are the United States, Canada, Argentina and Australia. France Seeks British Loan BY SAMUEL DASHIELL, United Press Staff Correspondent (Copyright. 1933. by United Press) PARIS, April 28.—France is prepared to take a huge loan from Great Britain to bolster her financial position, it was disclosed today, -when details of the monetary accord between the two nations became known. A statement will be issued tonight by Georges Bonnet, finance minister, outlining the nature of the agreement, which is increasingly puzzling to financial circles as fresh details leak out. As the price of keeping France nominally on the gold standard and controlling the pound in foreign exchange. it appeared that the British government is ready to become a bondholder to the extent of more than 2,000,000,000 francs i586,000,000) in French bonds. These bonds would be bought from the holdings in francs of the British equalization fund, instead of converting francs to gold. Normally, in the conversion process, the gold would be shipped from the Bank of France to supplement Britain's reserves. Now it will stay in France. The transaction reveals the seriousness of France's financial difficulties, in which she finds it expedient to demand a foreign loan instead off loating in the French market the second half of the 10,000.000.000 franc loan recently authorized by parliament. BILL TO AID BANKING REORGANIZATION PASSED Senate Puts Approval on Measure Without Debate. Ry T'nitfd Press WASHINGTON. April 28.

However, final disposition of the case was not made. McCormick told Mannon today he did not see Wiggins driving an automobile and expressed an opinion the defendant was not drunk. "Then why did you file these affidavits?” the court inquired. "Well. I wanted to satisfy the people who made the complaint," the officer replied.

TURNER AFTER NEWAIRMARK Flier to Stop for Refueling Here in Cross-Nation Plane Fight. Seeking anew west to east transcontinental air record, Roscoe Turner, noted California speed record flier, today was winging his way toward Indianapolis and the east coast. Turner left Burbank, Cal., in his Weddell-Williams racing plane at 7:20 a. m. (Indianapolis time) today, according to a telegram received by Charles E. Cox Jr., municipal airport superintendent. Previous arrangements had been made with Cox by Turner to have a special grade of gasoline on the field for rapid refueling when Turner lands here, his last scheduled stop before Newark, N. J., his goal. Other stops were to be made at Albuquerque, N. M,, and Wichita, Kan. Turner originally had planned to hop off on the record flight last Monday, but w’as prevented by inclemant feather, and he delayed start until conditions were more propitious. He is striving to wrest the present west to east coast speed record from Jimmie Haizlip, who, last summer, made the 2,470-mile journey in 10 hours 19 minutes.' Turner vied with Haizlip for the record the same day, but lost the race by thirty-nine minutes. The Californian already holds the east to west speed record of 12 hours 33 minutes, which he set last November in the face of a stiff headwind, averaging 199.2 miles an hour in the same plane he is flying today. Turner, who has kept plans for the flight secret, was not expected to remain at municipal airport here more than a few minutes.

BONUS WILL PASS, CLAIMS SENATE^ BLOC Administration Forces Fight to Keep Rider Out of Inflation Bill. Ry T'nited Press WASHINGTON, April 28.—President Roosevelt threw his powerful influence into the antisoldiers’ bonus fight in the senate today as administration opposition to the proposed bonus rider broke into the open. Majority Leader Robinson announced he was “authorized to say that the President unqualifiedly opposes the plan to use proposed treasury notes to pay to soldiers a sum estimated by him at §2,400,000000 BY LYLE C. WILSON United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, April 28.—Senators sponsoring immediate cash payment of veterans’ compensation claimed at noon today to have for-ty-two votes pledged to attach their | rider as an amendment to the administration currency inflation bill. The number is only six votes short of an actual majority of the present senate. News of the boom in bonus stock sent administration leaders scurrying in a counter-offensive. Senator Huey Long (Dem„ La.), always optimistic, but likewise an • able manipulator of the senate, confidently announced: “We have enough votes to pass this cash payment amendment, and we are going to do it.” President’s Word Awaited The full influence of President Roosevelt's authority is to be swung shortly into the bonus battle. Senate Majority Leader Joseph Robinson reiterated that the President encumbering the inflationfarm relief bill with a bonus rider, even though it be only permissive. Bonus votes are divided about evenly between senate Democratic and Republican sides, according to estimates of strength made by leaders for and against the amendment. The progressive Republican bloc is expected to go almost unanimously for immediate cash payment. Senator William E. Borah (Rep., Idaho) —always a bonus opponent—is doubtful but may swing over. Senator George W. Norris (Rep., Neb.), who formerly has voted against the bonus, has intimated he will switch on the vote now pending. Seek Roosevelt’s Decision House Democratic leaders, it was learned today, are ready to place the issue of immediate soldier bonus payment squarely up to the President for a decision. Speaker Henry T. Rainey and Majority Leader James Byrns, it was understood, have completed arrangements for a White House conference on the controversial issue of legislation for immediate payment of the $2,200,000 veterans’ claims. The conference is expected to occur immediately after the senate acts on the pending bonus amendment to the inflation-farm relief bill. If veterans’ compensation authorization is attached to the inflation proposal, the final legislative masterpiece will be of unprecedented scope, including farm relief, acreage reduction, price fixing of i agricultural products, a $2,000,000- : 000 mortgage refinancing plan, cur- ! rency inflation, revaluation of the gold dollar, free coinage of silver, and war debt reduction. Glass Denounces Program Conservative Republicans failed Thursday to tempt free silver men into coalition to remove from the inflation bill authority for revaluing the gold dollar. The administration prevailed, 53 to 35, in spite of a bitter denunciation by Senator Carter Glass (Dem., Va), of President Roosevelt's entire gold pro- | gram. i The little Virginian began with i the gold embargo, side-swiped the ! executive order compelling citizens | to turn in their gold, and wound up I with the statement that to revalue the gold dollar would be dishonorable.

Governor Rushes National Guard to Farm Revolt Area; Prayer Saves Aged Jurist From Death. NOOSE PLACED AROUND NECK Dragged From Bench, Splattered With Mud; Refuses to Give Pledge Against Foreclosures. By I nit id Prt *s LE MARS, la., April 28.—Three hundred national guardsmen, including a machine gun unit, brought martial law to this danger spot of farm unrest today, after a venerable judge narrowly escaped lynching by an irate mob. Governor Clyde L. Herring acted swiftly to quell disorder which broke out as leaders of the National Farmers Holiday Association prepared to meet at Des Moines Wednesday to consider a national farm strike.

Martial law was ordered by the Governor in the Le Mars area after 150 dragged 60-year-old Judge C. C. Bradley from his courtroom and forced him to kneel in a dusty road with a rope about his neck and pray for the “deliverance of farmers from injustice.” Twice the jurist, spattered with mud and grease, was jerked from his feet in a futile effort to force him to agree to halt mortgage foreclosures. Governor Herring dispatched Colonel Glenn C. Haynes of his personal staff by airplane to assume charge of military operations in Plymouth county. He characterized the rioters as a “gang of hoodlums.” Not a Representative Group “I want it expressly understood,” he said, “that this gang which outraged Judge Bradley is not a representative group of lowa farmers.” Troops from Sioux City and Sheldon were rushed to this typical farm center of 5,000 population. The town, which has been center of farm disturbances since the lowa farm strike last summer, outwardly was quiet. Merchants attended customers in their stores as usual. On the streets farmers gathered in little groups to discuss the outbreak. The Governor, indignant over Thursday night's episode, denounced Sheriff Ralph Rippey’s failure to act. Rippey, the Governor accused, was a “weak sister,” who “hadn't nerve enough to uphold the law.” He charged that Rippey “never was on hand when matters of this kind arise.” Governor Herring pointed out that “practically the same crowd was involved in the milk strike, and was kept under control by the Woodbury county sheriff.” The judge was recovering at his home today. New Riots Feared Sheriff Rippey, who himself was subjected to threats of violence and hanging, could not be reached at his home or office. Other authorities regarded the attacks on Judge Bradley and Sheriff Rippey as the first open revolution in the smouldering corn belt resentment against foreclosures. They expressed fears that attempts to arrest the attackers would

Indiana Fanners Near Revolt; Taxation Strike Is Threatened

With a tax strike imminent in Benton and Warren counties, due to refusal of Governor Paul V. McNutt to declare a moratorium on farm land taxation, flames of the agrarian revolt were fanned today, with the setting of a purported foreclosure suit in the circut court of Benton county.

“I’m afraid trouble wil brew if the suit set for the circuilt court at Fowler turns out to be a foreclosure action,” declared W. 3. Arms of Talbot, Ina., one of the members of a farmer committee that met with Governor McNutt earlier in the week to discuss a taxation moratorium. Arms said the revolt in lowa against judicial authority was not conducive to stilling the storm in the two Indiana counties. “All lawyers of the two counties, with the exception of one, agreed not to bring foreclosure suits against farms of the counties during the present depression period. “Saturday this lawyer is bringing a suit into the circuit court of Judge Charles Snyder. It is against a farm in the northwest section of Benton county,” Arms said. Arms, with a committee headed by Robert Catherwood, president of a farmers’ union of the two counties; Otto Gresham of Warren county, and William Keefe of Benton county, appeared before Governor McNutt on Wednesday, requesting a tax moratorium on lands, farm tools and livestock. The farmers' committee threatened that May taxes would not be paid unless their grievances are remedied. Both Gresham and Arms declared that farmers of the two counties would not pay their taxes, after Governor McNutt refused to declare

lead to open warfare and bloodshed. The violence began shortly after noon Thursday at Primghar, la., about fifty miles northeast of Le Mars. Deputy sheriffs sent to maintain order at a foreclosure sale, were overcome and beaten. The farmers then marched to a farm near Le Mars, .where a family had defied district and supreme court orders to surrender the property. A group of the militant farmers appeared at the home of Clarence Becker, declared by the court to be owner of the property. An argument developed and Sheriff Rippey was called. Sheriff Is Seized Farmers seized the sheriff and Becker, and carried them to the town park. Shouts of "hang them ’ were heard. Rippey talked at length with ihe farmers, and succeeded in persuading them to release him and Becker, after which both disappeared. The mob then started for the courtroom of Judge Bradley, who presided at hearings in both the Becker and Primghar cases. Judge Bradley was on the bench. One of the intruders demanded a hearing. His head was swathed in bandages as the result of the fight at Primghar. "What's your name,” Judge Bradley demanded. “I am Morris Cope of Wingsley, 1a.," he replied. He started to speak, but after several words Judge Bradley cut him short. .ludgc Pulled Off Bench At that moment, several farmers seized the jurist, and pulled him from the courtroom. They dragged him past the sheriff's office and offices of other authorities, but none dared go to his assistance. Five men, wearing blue bandanas across their face, took charge outside the courthouse. They attempted to force the judge to promise “not to sign a foreclosure on another farm.” “I can’t do that,” Bradley answered. He was knocked to the ground. Other attempts to force him to take the oath failed, and again he was beaten. A truck was pulled up and Bradley was thrown into the rear. One of the attackers produced a greasy blue handkerchief and blindfolded the judge. Sixty other farmers joined the Caravan as it started for the outskirts. A half mile from the city, Brad(Turn to Page Six)

a tax vacation, on the ground that it was beyond his constitutional powers. The farmers declare that banks and foreign debts have received beneficial moratoriums and that the farmer should be aided with similar edicts. “The farmers in the two counties are pretty clear thinkers, but no one can tell what might happen if things continue as they are,” Arms said today, upon returning to Benton county in time for the trial of the purported foreclosure suit.
