Finney Reports Motorists

- -ing Tabulation of License Suspensions

The State Auto Licens Commission's file eyatom on traffic viola- ’ license suspensions is helping reduce the ‘bumber of second offenders,, Frank Finney, Commissioner, said today. Records of the first six months of 1939 show that the number of second violations is less than one per cent of a total of 11,567 suspen-

tions which lead to dr

sions ordered during this period. - He declared that drivers, knowing their first offenses are tabulated, are careful to avoid a second of- | fense. “This is considerably less than the second half of 1938,” Mr. Finney said. “However, we will be able to tell the full effectiveness of the system when we compare suspensions incurred in the first half of 1940 with the first half of this year. » - Set Up-in January, ’38

The filing system was set up. when the new drivers’ license law became effective in January, 1938. Complete records are available now on every motor vehicle code violator whose : license has been suspendetl or reé<| ~ voked, he said. License suspensions and revocations from Jan. 1 to June!1 -this year totaled 321,312 days, Mr. Finney said. The Commission ordered suspensions totaling 43,005 days, while ' the balance of suspensions and revecations were ordered by State courts. The most common offense leading ocations was reckless driving, which includes failure to stop at preferential thoroughfares, failure to give proper hand signals, passing on hills or curves and driving in wrong lanes.

868 Auto Rights

Motor vehicle operation was denied 868 persons during the first ~half of this year who were convicted of operating cars without permits or driving on last year’s licenses. ~ A total of 1381 drivers had their licenses suspended or revoked for drunken driving. Of these, 830 were involved in accidents. : Mr. Finney said the Commission had given 70,556 examinations to prospective drivers. A total of 5415 applicants were denied licénses because of physical defects while 1,192,762 drivers’ licenses were issued.

May Collect $1 to $3 for Certificate Due to a Quirk in Law.

two sections. One the clerk fills in. After the ceremony the minister must fill in the other section and

mail it to the County Clerk within three months. "While the couple is waiting for the clerk to enter his information they stand before a counter on which are piled different types of marriage certificates. All those on the counter sell for $3. All are folders of leather and suede in white, brown or blue with gold lettering, inclosed in heavy paper embossed envelopes. The blue or brown suede folders and those of white leather have “Wedlock” stamped on them in gold. They are bound with colored cord with engraved printing on the inclosed certificates. The white leather folders, although stamped with gold, are less expensive, yet more flowery. They are titled “Certificate of Marriage.” The inside is printed rather than engraved and garlands of roses are entwined in the lettering.

Cherubs Nearby

The clerk then reaches beneath the counter and lays a printed paper certificate, suitable for framing, before the couple. If is printed in black and gold with a gold filigree border and costs $1. Across the top is a scene in which a mustached swain and his bride are drawn in a shell boat by two swans. A pair of cherubs hover nearby trailing flowers over the water. Space is provided for certification by the clerk and the minister. 3 As the clerk lays this before the couple he says: “You get your license and this certificate for $3 or your license and a folder for $5.” He points to the stack of folders. With the certificates in the folders is a card reading: “Wear something old, wear something new, wear samething borrowed, wear something blue. “Tis said ‘twill bring good luck to you. “With the best wishes of everybody, for all the world loves a lover.” The clerk then explains to the couple that unless they purchase some certificate, either the $1 or $3 one, they will have no record of their marriage. The certificate which everyone receives, without charge, is to be returned by the minister.

Income Goes to Clerk

In explaining the routine the clerk said that “most people think they get a certificate with their $2.” The couple then picks out a certicate to their liking and the condition of their purse. The income from the purchase of certificates goes to the County Clerk. When questioned regarding = the procedure Mr, Ettinger declared that “unless some form of certificate is sold to couples they have no record of their marriage. Although the law requires that ministers return the free certificates within three months there are thousands of marriage li-

98 censes recorded on our books for

which no certificate has been returned. “Unless a couple has a certificate they never can prove their marriage. Only a certificate will hou in a court of law.”

No Compulsion, He Says

He pointed out that since the early 1900s the Clerks had been selling some form of certificates. The income from their sale toes not have to be reported to any governmental agency except as part of a regular Federal Income Tax return, he said. Many persons want and ask for

because of their value-as a legal document, but because of senti-

. | mental reasons.

“Our office is perfectly above board about this matter,” he said. “We do not compel anyone to buy a certificate. Any time anyone feels he did not get his money's worth he can get his money back. Occasionally persons have come to me saying they did not want the $3 certificate, but would rather have the less expensive one. Whenever that happens I am glad to exchange them.” He said the certificates in his office were “the best that money can uy. “All are genuine leather and are

Says Lawyer Settled Own Suit as J. P.

VINCENNES, Ind. July 22. —A suit filed by Frank Sarter today charged that Justice of the Peace Marshall Micon ‘of Bicknell, as an attorney, sued him in Micon’s own court, and then, as a justice, rendered a judgment for hime self. Mr. Sarter asks disbarment of Attorney Micon and Attorney Wayne Combs, both of whom practice law at Vincennes. The case was venued to Vincennes after it was first filed, Mr. Sarter alleged, but that Justice of the Peace William Smith, a relative of Mr. , Sarter’s, disqualified himself and ordered the case transferred to another county court. Mr. Combs, as attorney for Mr. Micon, refused to try the case in any other court, and took the papers from him and returned them to Justice Micon, Mr. Sarter charged. Then he sajd Mr. Micon took the case "back under his jurisdiction and gave judgment against him for posses= sion of real estate. In Knox Circuit Court, Mr. Sarter asks for $2000 damages on Mr. Micon’s bond. |

LOSES EYELASHES IN HER LIFE MASK

EVANSTON, Ill, July 22 (U. P).|

—Mildred Harmon, 16, was minus her eye lashes today but otherwise was unharmed after a trying experiment in the interest of science. She is the daughter of a construction engineer and a summer student at Evanston High School with a particular [interest in chemistry. Last week her professor gave a lecture on life masks, told of their use and how they are made with plaster of paris. Miss Harmon decided to make one of herself, just as an experiment. She obtained the necessary materials yesterday and went to her room. She smeared petrolatum on

her face, stuck small tubes in her

nose and mouth so she . could breath, applied the plaster of paris and waited for it to harden. It did. But she couldn’t get it off. She stomped her feet to summon her mother and was taken immediately to Evanston Hospital. Dr. James "Grier called for a hammer and a chisel, soon had her unmasked. The girl peeked at a mirror and found her eyelashes missing. bat feel okay,” she said, “but I look funny without my lashes. I'll get some at the drug store—and no more experiments.”

ARAB LEADERS HUNT GOLDNER KIDNAPERS

JERUSALEM, July 22 (U. P).— Arab leaders in increasing numbers joined in the search for kidnaped Gerould R. Goldner today after a shepherd’s report indicated that the

American missionary was being

south of| Bethlehem, by an armed band of]

taken toward Hebron,

outlaws.

The Marsaba Monastery began | holding special intercession services|! which will continue “until Goldner

is released.”

Arab leaders said that they would |,

take all possible measures to prevent the rebellion against Britain being “besmirched” by the kidnaping of a neutral.

John O. Whiting, a member of the| American colony here for 40 years,|

upon receiving the shepherd’s report, sought to contact sheikhs without whose knowledge the kid-

napers probably could not proceed |

far. Mr. Goldner, Akron, O., missionary, was kidnaped Wednesday. Arabs! seized him and his father, Dr. Jacob

H. Goldner, in the Wadi Nar (Val-|

ley of Fire) area near the western shore of the Dead Sea, as they were returning to Jerusalem from a Greek monastery. The elder Goldner was released sO he could seek $5000 ransom. This Seman was reduced yesterday to

HATCH BILL UP T0 ROOSEVELT

Minton Fails to Prevent Senate Concurrence -In Changes.

(Continued from Page One):

great number would be for the President in any nominating convention. The Hatch Bill passed the Senate without dissent in April, and as it returned there yesterday for final agreement to amendments which had been added in the House, only Senator Minton (D. Ind.), the majority whip, attempted to make a stand against it. A move had gained some ground to try to block concurrence, and to send the legislation to a conference committee of both houses to iron out differences. Opponent of the bill, it was reported, felt that it might be tied up in conference committee long enough—with adjournment of Congress near — to thwart final enactment. Senator Hatch (D. N. M.), author

Jjof the measure, observed this and

moved swiftly to get Senate concurrence. . Hatch Scores Tactics

Vice President Garner banged his gavel and shouted the usual “Without ~ objection, it is so ordered,” and then Senator Minton jumped to his feet, objecting. Immediately Senator Hatch obtained the floor, and, commenting on opponents’ strategy to send the bill to conference, charged this was designed to consign it to the graveyard.

He traced the history of the bill],

through Senate and House and pointed out that the House Judiciary Committee, irom which House conferees would be chosen on.any conference committee, had attempted to rip his bill to pieces. Senator Hatch drew support from Senator Bennett Champ Clark (D. Mo.), and an announcement from Senator Chavez (D. N. M.) that he would have voted against it if he had been in the Senate when it was passed. From Senator Minton cam2 a charge: that not over five Senators had read the bill. He said he believed sending it to conference would give it more consideration than it had received by Senators up to that time.

Minton Concedes

But Senator Minton finally conceded that he saw’ no material change in the bill as it was passed by the House, and that it was a better bill than, when it passed the Senate. “I have no dagger up my sleeve for the Senator’s beloved bill,” he concluded. “He has his heart set on it. As far as I'm concerned he may have his bill, and God bless him.” He agreed with Senator Chavez that if the measure were to come before the Senate again there would be far more debate about it. Senator Minton apparently feared

that the bill was a part of the

While the antiaggression powers blamed the peace reports on Germany, the Nazis themselves were preparing for a week of dramatic air raid drills. Of general interest in view of the deadlock in negotiations to bring Soviet Russia into the European

lation that trade negetiations had been started in Berlin between Russiark and Germany. In the Far East, Albert F. Wilson of Philadelphia, a Russian cabaret girl and two Chinese were killed by stray bullets or hand grenades and French police at Shanghai exchanged more than 100 shots with a band of terrorists who raided the Chinese-American Daily News plant. Fifteen Chinese, including one believed to be a terrorist, were wounded seriously. Two armed Chinese were arrested.

Claim Accord With British

Japan foresaw a victory in preliminary negotiations with Britain for settlement of the Tientsin incident, announcing that the British had agreed to Japanése proposals for recognition that the Japanese Army is operating under war conditions in North Chima. The last British announcement was that no decision had been made. Almost simultaneously, the mayor of the Japanese-dominated provisional government at Peiping announced that severe anti-British measures had been adopted and cautioned Britons about walking in the streets. The Japanese Admiralty announced that destroyers were cruis-

troversy with Russia over oil supplies, but denied large ships would be sent there.

. Hankow Consulate Busy

The American Consulate General at Hankow protested to the Japanese today that Japanese soldiers, occupying the plant of the StandardVacuum: Oil Co. at Chenlingki, 125 miles above Hankow on the Yangtze, had evicted Chinese.staff employees and lowered and destroyed an American flag. Japanese Army authorities handed the consulate general today a letter from I. W. Holland of the American Methodist Mission at Nanchang, of whom nothing had been heard directly since a Japanese News Agency announced June 14 that he had been seized for “antiJapanese” activities. ; In the letter Mr. Holland said his house had not been searched nor had other mission properties, and that all Americans at Nanchang were safe. The consulate believed some sections of the letter might have been written under duress and continued its urgent requests for facilities for a United States representative to visit Nanchang and talk to Mr. Holland. At The Hague, : Netherlands, Premier Colijn finally succeeded in forming a new Cabinet after a long dispute over budgetry economies. Premier Mohamed Mahmud Pasha of Egypt subraitted his resignation v0 the King today but action was deferred.

ana Governor in the form of an editorial signed by Mr. Jackson. “This editorial . . .” Mr. Bobbitt said, “says that McNutt’s new job (Federal Security. Agency director) has many responsibilities ‘if these agencies are to function with any satisfactory degree of efficiency and at a minimum cost to the taxpaying

public.’ ”? ; “I wonder,” Mr. Bobbitt continued, “if Mr. Jackson’s idea of ‘minimum cost to the public’ includes the issuance of campaign propaganda for McNutt. Maybe they expect to pay the entire cost of his Presidential campaign out of these funds.

BOY SAYS HE CAN'T RESIST WANDERLUST

NEW ORLEANS, July 22 (U. P.). —Mrs. O. S. Robertson is having trouble with her son again. He’s got the wanderlust. It's a deep yearning, said O. S, aged 9. He can’t overcome it. It has made him run away from home six times. The last time O. S. came home, he was apologetic. T “I love you better than anybody,” he said to his mother by way of hreaking the ice. “Then why do you run away, S.?” Mrs. Robertson asked. £I don’t know, mama,” O. S, said. A few days later he said he had the old feeling again. Mrs. Robertson only sighed and went about beating up. a cake. Maybe that would hold him a while.
