PAVING PLAN FOR SOUTH ST, ASKED BY WORKS BOARD

Cement to Replace Wooden ' Blocks Except Between : Streetcar Rails.

The Works Board today authorized City Engineer M. G. Johnson to draw plans for paving South St. from West to Alabama Sts. Mr. Johnson estimated the cost at approximately $35,000, of which 75 per cent would be paid by the City

and 25 per cent by adjacent prop-|

erty owners, Wood Blocks Bumpy

The cement paving will replace the wood block which has become bumpy, Mr. Johnson said, but will not include the street between the streetcar tracks. The Board also decided to consult engineers before going ahead with its. plans to heat the City Garage, 1136 Shelby St. The Board ordered engineers to look into the feasibility of constructing a sub-ceiling to cut down the heating bill.

Wants to Erect Light

The request of the Clif Meier - Coal Co. that it be permitted to

install a light on City property be-|.

tween the sidewalk and the street to floodlight its building at 1705 W. Washington St. was referred to the Zoning Board.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J, Oct. 18 (U. P.).—The 28th National Safety Congress was told yesterday that

science has found three words “point one five’—to refute every time-honored alibi of the drunken driver. The National Safety Council’s committee on tests for intoxication, which has studied drinking drivers for three years, reported that fif-teen-hundredths of one per cent is the amount of alcohol in the blood stream that brands a motorist unfit to drive. Until recently, the committee said, Juries have been reluctant to bring in verdicts of guilty in the face of defenses such as: “Your honor, I got a bad bump

"on the head in the accident. That's

why I staggered.” “I just had a coupla shots. I can drink six or seven before I even

“I've been taking insulin for diabetes, judge. That stuff makes you act just like liquor does.” In such cases, the committee said, “Even when a juror’s common sense told: him the defendant probably was - guilty, the lack of concrete proof left a reasonable doubt in his mind. Police and prosecutors resorted to charging offenders with reckless driving instead of driving under the influence of liquor. “But all this has changed jin little more than a year, since the accu-

racy of body fluid and breath tests have been established and widely accepted in the courts.” The committee - advised against prosecution when the alcohol percentage was found to be 0.5 or less. When the percentage was found to be below 0.15, it recommended prosecution “only when the circumstances and physical examination substantiate the suspicion of intoxication.”

FIRE AID GIVEN HAPPY HOLLOW

City Extends Protection After Residents’ Plead: ‘Save Our Homes.’

City officials extended fire protection.to the homes of mote than 100 Happy Hollow: residents in- Southwest Indianapolis today following their appeal to Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan for help in “saving our homes.” Sixteen members of the West Indianapolis, Civic League told the Mayor yesterday that fire protection in their district was “inadequate.” City equipment, they said, is ineffective because fire hydrants are too far away from homes. Ira Buttz, 1330 S. Belmont Ave. who led the delegation said that the nearest fire box and hydrant at Minnesota and Belmont Sts. is five blocks from the majority of homes. Delegation spokesmen said two homes in the district burned down this year because of lack of protection. Fire Chief Fred C. Kennedy said he would instruct signal operators to send the township pumper on first call. Three City pumpers will follow on second call, he promised. “We also are going to install additional fire boxes in the community,” the Chief said. “I'm. certainly going to see that these people get protection.” . The Mayor said he. would . confer with Safety Board members on the lack of hydrants which resi-

soh’s demand for a new trial.

James K. Northam, deputy attor- |S ‘ney general, resisting tlie new petition, filed a written motion to return _Stephenson to the Michigan

City State Prison. Faces Prison Again © Judge Gentry did not rule on the

motion, but indicated that if a heag-|§

The former Klan leader was|S brought here from prison threes

Stephenson was convicted in 1925| for the murder of Miss Madge|:S Indianapolis stenog-|=

The habeas corpus petition is|= based upon essentially the same |Z

grounds as those set out in the re‘jected new trial request—that the 14-year-old jury verdict was invalid because Stephenson was found guilty of second degree murder on an indictment charging murder in the first degree. :

Judge Gentry’s ruling raised a question regarding the future status of the petition for writ of coram nobis which! has been pending in Circuit Court here for six months.
