INDIANA FAIR ROW GOES TO 0. S. COURT

Board Seeks to Enjoin Governor McNutt From Seizing Control. MAY CALL OFF SHOW Report Executive Planning Edict Against Holding Exposition in Fall. Federal court, suit to enjoin Governor Paul V. McNutt from enforcing provisions of the new administration reorganization measure by talcing away from the state board of agriculture control over the star; fair was filed today by the board The suit was the latest development In the battle between McNutt and the board, in which the Governor twice has been defeated, resulting in reports he is considering calling ofT the fair this year as a punishment for the board. The second defeat for the Governor came when the board, by a vote of 7 to 4. refused to recognize McNutt’s two new appointees to the board. The suit charges that the new law is unconstitutional in that its provisions call for abrogating state contracts. Board Formed in 1921 The state board was formed in 1921, and two years later, under a trust agreement, took over from a private corporation, for the state, the fairground. The trust agreement, the suit states, makes definite provision for terms and appointment of board members, and for their powers. The new setup, it is charged, would make the members merely a non-executive board in an advisory capacity to the new division of agriculture. It is alleged that the Governor already has taken steps to enforce the new law by attempting to interfere with the board personnel. Politics Is Charged The board charges that the Governor is attempting to substitute a shifting, untrained political agency for the continuous, experienced and nonpolitical agency represented by the board, and that the administration measure attempts to take property, left in trust, into absolute ownership without notice or consent. Besides McNutt, defendants named in the suit are Lieutenant-Gover-nor M. Clifford Townsend. Perry McCart, William Faust and Verne Harvey. Townsend. McNutt's commissioner of agriculture, has assumed the role of pacifier and predicted today that the fair will be "bigger and better than ever." He was principal speaker at the annual fair booster meeting of the board at the English theater Thursday night. Governor McNutt did not attend. Governor Is Defied Having been the only body to defeat the McNutt legislative program. board of agriculture members did not hesitate to defy the Governor when he attempted to displace two of the old members Thursday. They adopted a resolution refusing to recognize the new appointees and putting the two board members scheduled for displacement on a committee to employ counsel and fight the case in the courts. They did put the Governor's appointee, J. D Hull, on the pay roll as assistant to Secretary E. J. Barker, who will be retired Jan. 1. They voted him a $l5O monthly salary. He had been drawing S2OO from the Governor’s emergency fund. Officers to Be Moved They also acceded t' the McNutt order to move to the fairgrounds, but asked re-establishment of the board in statehouse offices after fair week. Sept. 2-8. Barker still retains his own stenographic staff, despite attempt of Pleas Greenlee, McNutt secretary, to change the personnel. The McNutt board appointees, George Stolte, Ft. Wayne, and William H. Settle, Petroleum, remained throughout the Thursday meeting. They were to displace Oren E. Felton, Fairmount. and Richard D. Canan, West Lafayette. Dean J. H. Skinner of Purdue university refused to vote on the question. Senator John Bright Webb, Democrat reappointed by McNutt, was absent at the time of the voting.

‘Secret Punch’ Wins World Title for Camera

(Pictures on Snorts Pace) BY JACK CUDDY United Press Staff Correspondent YORK, June 30. —Primo Camera's naivety being what it is, no one would suspect him of having secrets, yet he stepped out in Madison Square Garden's big saucer Thursday night and won the world heavyweight championship with a "secret punch. He knocked out Jack Sharkey of Boston in the sixth round of their title battle. In fact, he hit Sharkey so hard with this backstairs wallop that it was rumored the ex-champion was dead, and it actually was printed that he was confined to his hotel room with a brain concussion. Sharkey snarled down both of these reports at 2:20 a. m. today, before driving off with his wife to Boston, where he’ll rest a day

Unanimous Verdict Handed Down in Upstate Case by High Bench. FANSLER WRITES RULING Justices Merely Hold Lake County Judge Exceeded His Jurisdiction. There will be no draught beer this summer so far as the Indiana supreme court is concerned. In a unanimous opinion handed down today the high court mad® permanent a writ of prohibition to prevent Councilman John Tenkley from serving draught beer at his East Chicago bar. Whether or not draught beer can be banned Jorever under the present beer control law was not gone into. That will be settled on a direct ap* peal. The final test can not be made before fall, when the judges return from summer vacations. Writ Made Permanent The court made permanent the writ merely on the grounds that pro tern Judge E. Miles Norton exceeded his jurisdiction in Lake superior court, when he issued an injunction against arrest on Tenkley for draught beer sales. Attorney-General Philip Lutz Jr., whose office procured the writ of prohibition from the supreme court, held the view that a lower court can not enjoin enforcement of a criminal law. Defendants in the case put up the plea that the beer control setup is not a criminal law, but merely a form of licensing and taxation and that the lower court was well within its rights in preventing its enforcement on grounds of unconstitutionality. Legality Is Undecided Whether or not the law is unconstitutional remains undecided. The draught beer provision will be directly challenged when the Tenkley case is on appeal. In addition, there is the Abe Rosen suit, already appealed, which questions the entire beer control law on constitutional grounds. Today’s opinion was written by Justice Michael E. Fansler. Under the beer control law only bottle beer may be bought in Indiana.

FREED AFTER 7 YEARS OF LIFE FORGERY TERM Sentenced as Habitual Criminal, Man Is Given Liberty Again. Seven and a half years in prison on a life sentence as an habitual criminal ended today for Thomas Joseph Kelley, 36, when Criminal Judge Frank P. Baker upheld the state’s motion to quash a fraudulent check indictment against Kelley. Kelley, sentenced in Marion criminal court in 1926 by former Judge James A. Collins, was charged with being an habitual criminal through three former convictions for issuing fraudulent checks. In April this year, the Indiana supreme court granted Kelley a newtrial on the ground that he had not been identified properly in the habitual criminal sentence as the man who had served the three former sentences. Today, Baker lectured Kelley as he quashed the indictment. “Crime is the poorest paying profession in the world,” said the court. “You cashed a bad check for $94.65 and worked seven and a half years for a paltry sum like that.” “I know it,” said Kelley. “I’m going to Mexico to work for an oil company.” ‘BREAKING’ HIS FALL' Drop Three Stories, Lands on Fireman, Fracturing His Nose.
