West-Bound Cars Only Will Travel Sixteenth Street Until 1 P. M. To the spectator of the Indianapolis speedway classic, the chief worry before and after the race is the fastest and safest traffic route to the track and back home. Capt. Louis Johnson, chief of the police department’s traffic division, has announced the traffic routes which are shown on the map. West Sixteenth street, which leads to the main gate of the track, will be open only to west-bound traffic from 4 a. m. to 1 p. m. From 1 p. m. until 6 p. m. all traffic is eastbound. This ruling also applies on West Thirtieth street the morning and afternoon of the race. This route brings the motorist to the main gate after traveling south on the Georgetown road. To reach Sixteenth and Thirtieth streets, the motorist leaving from downtown can drive northwest on Indiana avenue to West Sixteenth street or north on Meridian street or Capitol avenue to Thirtieth or Twenty-ninth street and west.

Fry Rules Wine May Be Prescribed as Medicine

In Same Class as Whisky, Excise Director Holds in Decision. If you know a doctor who really is interested in making you “feel good,” you might get him to prescribe a case of champagne. Or, if you prefer, he can prescribe quarts of port, sherry, claret, Burgandy or any other of your favorite vintages. But a prescription is necessary. For Paul Fry, state excise director, has at least rules that fine old wines really are in the same class as whisky and must be bought by prescription at licensed pharmacies. Only 3.2 per cent wine can be bought freely, like beer. Even then a special SIOO retail license is needed, and nobody has bought one, claiming that wine so weak can not compete with the malt beverage. Fry’s ruling came after considerable research into the somewhat obscure meaning of the Indiana liquor control law in regard to handling old wines. This was carried on by Fred Bechdolt, attorney for the excise department. He came to the conclusion that wines are to be classed as liquors and handled as such. This includes wine tonics which may be used for beverages. A loophole was left in Fry’s final ruling regarding tonics that are not fit for steady drinking. If the seller can prove that it isn't palatable and really a medcine, it can be sold without prescriptions.

Another method of reaching the track is west on Washington street to White river boulevard and northwest to Sixteenth street. A fourth route is west on Washington street and via Tibbs avenue and Cossell road to the Speedway, designated as the bus and taxi route. Busses will leave at regular intervals from Monument Circle. Rapid shuttle train service will be available from the Union station, starting early on race day. For a small charge, spectators can board the trains at the station and reach the Speedway within a few minutes. Similar return service after the race is given. Johnson announces that Captain Jesse McMurtry will be in charge at the main gate of the track, aided by Lieutenant Ralph Dean. Lieutenant Eugene Shine will head the police staff at the east gate. Both city and state police will be on guard through the traffic lanes from downtown to the track. With traffic one way on the main lanes, police have asked autoists to drive with care and to remain in the lines, to make accidents as few as possible, considering the enormous crowd.

SEEK PROBE OF MORGAN FIRM'S BIGJEPOSITS Secret System Is Held Keystone of Giant Banking House. BY RAY TUCKER Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, May 29.—A demand for investigation and pub-, lication of names of corporations and individuals having large deposits with the House of Morgan has arisen in the senate banking and currency committee. Without the system under which tremendous sums are left with Morgan for investment, and on which no reports are made, it is believed the distribution of stock at bargain rates to influent’figures would die a natural death. The interest rate on these deposits is smaller than at commercial banks, and it is the stock cut-ins by which interest is really paid, according to the picture painted by Ferdinand Pecora, committee counsel. The American Car and Foundry Cos., which is Treasury Secretary William H. Woodin’s firm, has more than $1,000,000 on deposit with Morgan. Woodin, it is presumed, made the decisions as to where the company’s funds would be banked. It has been shown that the treasury secretary was given stock at bargain rates in both the Allegheny

Corporation and Standard Brand issues. It is believed future disclosures will show this practice to be general. The committee has not yet decided whether to make known such depositaries, and will take it up before the inquiry is resumed on Wednesday. It has shown a disposition to regard the relationship as “confidential,’ ’even though some members think it the keystone of the Morgan financial and corporate operations. The Morgan firm has compiled this information at Pecora’s request, and it is part of the data the investigator was authorized by the senate to obtain, but the result is in doubt. It is contended that this secret system is unfair to the average, uninformed stockholders of the depositaries. With the Morgan firm owning interests in almost every important industry, utility, insurance firms, Railroad and communications unit in the country, it is pointed out that officials of such corporations benefitting from Morgan generosity
