Forced Down by Sandstorm in Texas Panhandle, Far From Town. By United Press COLUMBUS, 0., May B.—Colonel and Mrs. Charles A.

DRY APPEAL SOUNDED Dowling Asks Retention of Prohibition, in Church Address. Henry M. Dowling, Indianapolis attorney, pleaded for retention of the eighteenth amendment Sunday in an address befo’ - the congregation of the Tabernacle Presbyterian church. "A vote in favor of repeal of the eighteenth amendment means letting down the bars to give the liquor interests control of politics,” he said. “To vote for repeal would put this state at the mercy of Chifcago, Cleveland, Cincinnati and Louisville importations. “Millions of dollars would be diverted into illicit business chani nels and legitimate business would ! suffer, just as it did in the saloon days.”

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

SHARP SLUMP HITS SALE OF BEERINjTATE Receipts Drop Rapidly in Wake of Wild Stampede at Start. Sharp decline in beer drinking in Indiana within tw r o w r eeks after the advent of the new “three-two” was shown today with announcement of state funds derived from importers’ tax and tax on Indiana-made brews. During the first eight days of the new beer return, ending April 15, importers and domestic manufacturers paid the state $19,761.55. From April 15 to 30, however, this dropped with the fifteen-day period yielding only $18,307.02. One week average, for comparison with the first eight days, meant only slightly more than $9,000 a week was obtained in taxes the latter part of the month. That is a drop of more than SIO,OOO compared to the first rush. Public Resents Pric Resentment of the drinking public against the high price of beer, caused partly by the numerous taxes and “split” with the importers, is given as the chief cause of the minor “boycott.” In Indiana, during the first eight days, more than 131.760 cases of beer were consumed. In the next two-week period this figure dropped approximately half. Lack of permits and haggling over prices were given today by Paul Fry, state excise director, as reasons for the failure of 3.2 wine to appear in Indiana. Fry explained that the beer control law does permit sale of 3.2 wine, but an additional permit must be procured. He is having his attorney and the office of the at-torney-general study procedure in the issuance of wine permits, he said. Permits Not Printed The permits have not been printed and, therefore, sales still are impossible under the law, it was pointed out. Applications for wine permits are not procurable at the State House. Under the law, the retail beer dealer must pay another SIOO for permission to sell 3.2 wine, it was said. Two other classifications of wine have been made by Fry and rules covering their sale are be in g drafted. One class is that of wine tonics, which must conform to the federal requirement of containing 20 per cent solids in solution for a 20 per cent alcoholic content, it was explained. The other for the natural wines that now can be sold at drug stores having whisky permits. These are the port, sherries and similar types that run from 12 to 20 per cent in alcoholic content and have not been diluted to meet the 3.2 test.

BIG FOUR IRKS CITY BOARD BY PAVING^ROTEST Kirk McKinney Threatens to Push Track Elevation Program Through. Charging that the Big Four railroad violated “a gentlemen's agreement" with the works board by signing a remonstrance against improving a section of New York street by widening and resurfacing, E. Kirk McKinney, board president, threatened retaliation today in the form of pushing through a track elevation program. Remonstrance against the improvement proposal, which would widen New York street from forty to forty-five feet from Highland avenue to East street, was filed today, signed by 40 per cent of property owners who would be affected. The railroad took the position that the street work would interfere with the track elevation program, part of which has been held in abeyance since 1925, and some of which is involved in litigation. “We have been bending over backward to appease certain interests," McKinney said. “’That day is past. If they are going to fight us, we will fight back.” In addition to the threat of push t ing the elevation program, McKinney proposed the railroad be assessed 100 per cent for cost of as much of the New York street work as affects its property. Way for "a retreat in good order” was left for the railroad, the board stating that the Big Four can withdraw from the remonstrance. That
