CONGRESS LAG PERILS PACIFIC CONTROL HOPES Delay Is Menace to U. S. Drive for Supremacy of Western Ocean. (Continued From Page One) voted the $2,000,000 fund to develop the trans-Pacific service. Approving unanimously an amendment to the Treasury-Post Office appropriation bill by Senator William Gibbs McAdoo <D. Cal i. But House conferees on the bill refused to accept the item, on the ground that it had not been approved by the budget bureau and the Post Office Department. Two days ago the House itself refu ed, 4a to 70, to accept the Senate amendment. It's Cp to Senate The next move is up to the Senate. Senator Carter Glass <D., Va ), has an opportunity to cut red tape and is expected to do so by calling on the Past Office Department to give formally the approval which officials already have expressed informally. The Virginian, chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee, may be able to save the item. He says he will permit no action until Senator McAdoo, sponsor of the appropriation, who is ill, returns to the Senate. Unless the Senate fights for the aviation fund, the proposed appropriation will have to go through the tedious, tortuous course of the deficiency bill, the annual catch-all, which will be brought forward at the end of the session. This is the course proposed by Rep. Arnold <D., Ill), chairman of the House Subcommittee on Treasury-Postoffice Appropriations and head of the House conferees, who blocked the appropriation in the House. Deficiency bills usually find Congress weary, anxious to quit and go ( home. The consequence is that im- j portant appropriations are often left out. Speed All-Important This is what makes action on the $2,000,000 appropriation seem allimportant to supporters of American commercial aviation who see in the trans-Pacific service a chance for the United States to step far in the lead. The hesitancy of Congress is somewhat hard to understand. Postmaster General Farley expressed the hope in his last annual report that he could record the successful operation of a trans-Pacific air service a year later. He has advised members of Congress recently that he favors the appropriation. Mr. Farley must share some of the responsibility for Congress’ failure to act, for he had nearly a month in which to study the appropriation and could have intervened long ago. All Up to Government Meanwhile, the Pan-American Airways are going forward with their plans, spending SISOO a day in preparing the route and equipment. Their supply boat is anchored outside Wake Island. A landing field is being prepared at this island, one of the stops on the way to Canton via Guam and the Philippines. Juan T. Trippe, president of PanAmerican, who has strung airways along the Atlantic and Pacific coasts to South America, already is operating 3000 miles in China in conjunction with the Chinese government, with 25 planes flying regular routes. .. The trans-Pacific airway is the vital connecting link between the United States and the Orient. Already Great Britain, France and Holland are pushing toward China in the effort to capture the commercial prizes there. Americans have the advantage now, but they can lose it unless the government supports the new venture. East Side Grocery Looted Four crates of eggs, 150 cartons of cigarets. a quantity of lunch meats and pennies, all valued at $329. were taken early today from the Haboush grocery, 4129 E. 10thst, by burglars who gained entrance by breaking a side door window.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

COUNTY IS SUED BY SHERIFF FOR EXTRAMILEAGE Clarification of Law When Prisoner Is Moved by Auto Sought. Suit to compel Marion County to pay the cost of furnishing guards, auto drivers and attendants, in addition to 8 cents a mile for transporting prisoners to penal institutions, was to be filed today in Superior Court by Sheriff Otto Ray. The County Commissioners, County Auditor and Treasurer are defendants in the suit which seeks a ; statute. Jack B. Kammins represents Sheriff Ray, with James E. Deery, city corproation counsel, as i co-counsel. The statute provides for the payI ment of “other expense necessarily incurred” when prisoners are transported by rail or bus, but appears to make no such provision when prisoners are transported in vehicles supplied by the sheriff. The county officials have declined to pay Sheriff Ray the money he paid out for extra guards and auto dfivers, and their incidental expenses, and insist he is entitled only to the 8 cents a mileprovided in the law, from w’hich he would be expected to pay the guards and drivers.

LOTTERY FIRM'S RECORDS SEIZED IN POLICE RAID Names of Ticket Holders and Agents Found in Apartment. In possession of police today were records of the American Benefit Association lottery which contain the names of more than 1000 ticket holders and agents, the fruits of a raid last night in an apartment at 403 N. Pennsylvania-st. Also in their custody is Louis Robinson, 43, who is held under 31000 bail on vagrancy charges pending further investigation by police into this, one of the best known and most widely circulated of the local lotteries. Police say that these flourishing lotteries, like the policy games and unlike the baseball pools, are won on drawings held at stated intervals. If one holds the counterpart of the ticket drawn, he wins the lottery. Unlike the policy games, however, these lottery tickets are held from week to week and a certain stipulated amount of money is paid each week by the holder to the agents of the lottery. Circuit Judge Earl R. Cox will decide May 6 whether Indianapolis police may interfere with the printing of “tally cards” in their drive against baseball pool tickets. Judge Cox yesterday granted a temporary injunction restraining police *''m seizing tally cards printed by *he J. L. McDaniel Printing Cos., 420 E. Ohio-st. The printing concern alleged the printing of the cards does not constitute an unlawful act, no matter what the final possessor of the cards may do with them. Judge Cox told Edward H. Knight, former corporation counsel, who appeared for the printing company, that he would hold a final hearing on the injunction on May 6. Judge Cox recalled that while he was a deputy prosecutor, J. L. McDaniel, then president of the printing concern, was cleared of charges of unlawful possession of baseball pool tickets when the Indiana Supreme Court held the printing of tickets was not unlawful.
