Law Prof's Legal Tangle Growing Even More Intricate SOTTTH B35NTJ, IHD., Nov. 37 The reconciliation of Prof. John P. Tiernan and his wife blew up with a banB today when Mrs. Augusta Tiernan began to suspect that the professor had returned from affinity land where he married another only to avoid the pressure of a charge of bigamy. Mrs, Tiernan telephoned Attorney Sands to drop proceedings to have the professor's cross bill against her suit for divorce dropped. Sands was to have gone before Judge C. B Montgomery and move that the bill be dismissed. And Prosecutor Ployd O. Jelllson was to have dismissed the appeal from the court decision that declared Harry Poulin innocent of Mars. Tiernan's charge that he was the father of "Baby Billy," her third child. INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE J SOUTH BEND. IND.. Nov. 27 Professor John P. Tiernan today was to begin action in South Bend that he hopes will untangle the legal web entangling himself and his two 'wives." His first move was to be In Judge Chester Montgomery's court room where he was to request that his cross suit for divorce, which was granted Friday and then voided Saturday, be dismissed. Then. It was said, Frof. Tiernan wlU attempt to annul his marria-c of Saturday to Mrs. Blanche F.r; mer. of Aredale. Iowa, which solemnized at Crown Point. If both of his requests aro sran;ed, Prof. Tiernan in the near future, possibly by tonight, will be possos-s-ed of only one wife. Mrs. Aurusta Tiernan, whose sensational paternity charges against Harry Poulin. South Bend haberdasher, first brought the amazing domestic tanjle before the public. His second wife was left in Chicago by the professor who told her to clear up the legality of her marriage to him. Tiernan having learned that she was In doubt as to the fate of her second husband. Then the professor "came home." The first Mrs. Tiernan was at the station. She paced the platform. When Tiernan got off the train she wheeled on him and for ten minutes poured out a torrent of abuse. Tiernan looked on, dazed. He said nothing. Mrs. Tlernan's fury spent, the two took a taxi cab and returned to the Tiernan home. Later they announced that they had become completely reconciled. Discussing his "bride" of two days Tiernan eaid the honeymoon had only about started when they began quarrelling". "I was reminiscing a little, telling her what a rood girl my first wife was down In her heart," the professor said. "Then she insinuated that I had married her for her money. "Then came information that she was married to three other men. She had told me of only one, who had been killed in a railroad accident. She had deliberately lied to me. betrayed me.' Tiernan, Immediately after his marriage to Mrs. Brimmer, It was learned today, grew remorseful and called his first wife on the telephone addressing her as "Dear Aussie." and "Baby Dollar.!." This brought on the quarrel between the professor and his "brld-3.". The Trnans plan to for ak South T'er.d, sell thetr hem? and leave for Chicago to begin all over again. The "bride" Mrs. Brimmer is r.ow in Chicago and has no plans for the future.

ORAK'S THIRTY KlWANIS ELECTION I INITIATES OCCURS TOMORROW

Thirty candidates are today being initiated Into the mysteries of A. A. O. N. M. S. at Hammond today. C'rak Temple is taking in the first batch of new members since the ceremonial last April. It had been planned to use Chief Wiiiiam Ni'l of th2 Hammond fire tie parlmoiit ts the storm center t -day but his recent injury mad? it I'ecesary to switch such plans Pros" ecu'or Joe Todd m-iy i.e. hapless victim. The ceremoniu.1 started at o'clock with the parad; of candidates and visitors through the business district. The first section of the initiation started at 4 o'clock and continued until 5 : S 1 . The banquet was to follow. Aft.T the banquet comes the- section of the initiation which will last as lontj ss ther? is a piece of a candidate to work on. Police and firemen marched in the p;.rad-- in honor of Chief Nill. or. o,) : ar?nco TcdoLa yotf r day ate his Sunday dinner in bed. Tha W! Is in at. Margaret's hospital. Clarence consumed one astral rear foet ef a proverbial rabbit. Ir. Teboda's mental meal of one astral rtbhit's foot took on tomething of thn air of a seance. It was attended by Chief Uunde, Captain Austgcn, brother officers, Mrs. Teboda. Dr. II. V,'. O.iidlaw, nurses, hospital attaches. Mr. Teboda merely transferred the rabbit's faot from his left hip pocket to his Btomach. There wero two reasons for this, one, that Motorcop Tsboda nearly lost the rabbit's foot (and. us Clarence would pay. Incidentally, his own life) when ho was Lh:wr, violently from his motorcycle at Eibley and Calurr.et avenues shortly before noon following a collision with a Ford Bdan driven by J. M. Van Sickle, Si Plummer ave. Teboda, Buffering a fractured right collar bone, serious contusions to his bead and bad bruises about hla body, was picked up unconscious from the pavement and rushed to St. JXargaret's hospital by Robert Domkey and P. J. Eauwens. Jr., both of 821 Hohman street, who happened to txa passing the corner at the time of the accident. The second reason why Clarence decided upon a new depository for the luckless rabbit's foot, was that his misfortune had seen the completion of the ill-fated rule of three as It applied to the Hammond motorcycle squad. His own being the third accident to motorcycle policemen within the past few months. Others who took bad spills were Motorcops Harry Schaetzel and Howard Bell. Motorcop Mac Thompson struck another but himself escaped injury. The jinx having been vanquished, Teboda will have no further us for the rabbit's foot. Teboda was enroute to his Lyons street home for Sunday dinner. He was speeding south In Calumet ave. At Sibley street, Mr. Van Sickle turned west In Sibley street from Calumet avenue. His front left j wheel struck Teboda's bike, hurling j !t to one side and pitching the rider j forward on his head. The wheel of j the Ford was broken off. The fer.- j rier was oaaiy srn&snea. -ir. an t i,. Sickle, who i3 Tl years of age, says he was struck by Teboda's bike. Some of the eye witnesses who may be called before the police commissioners to give their versions of the accident aro these:- Mrs. A. Eoyer and her daughter, of SI? Sibley Et., and an employe of the Hammond Grease and Oil Company, who stood In front of the fra f.llincr station on the corner and witnessed the whole scene. He refused to give his name.

License Fees May be Boosted to Meet Highway Depart- ; ment's Demands

INXIA.VAPOL4S, Ind., Nov 27 The automobile aa a eubject of fecial taxation is expected to figur'' largely in the deliberation, of th, next session of the lrH ia irenera assemhlv legislature, state officials and cour. f v.. "u.ud.s a-e aiscussint- wavs ar, means of adding to revenues 'by V.v following methods: 1- A special tax of 1 cent a gallon vi sasonne used by motor vehicles In Indiana. 2. Doubling the automobile license' fees. i 3. Increasing the license fes of automobile -rucks. i Imposing a terminal fee on trucks entering Indiana from other states. 6. Special taxes on motor busses and classing them as common carriers which would place them under the jurisdiction of the public service commission. WOULD riATSE 3,000,f)O0 If proposals thus far advanced are enacted into laws it is estimated J that approximately J5.000.000 addl t tonal vould be reased in Indiana " "'f "a,y or otner purposes. Administration officials are particularly anxious that the Increased revenues should go Into the state' highway fund which would result ina corresponding Increase In the' amount of federal aid the commission would receive. A cleavage of opinion, however, has developed over the disposition of the proposed easoline tax which j the legislature probably will bef cal'.ed on to settle. I The County Commissioners' Aso-j ciation recently adopted resolutions -in favor of a gasoline tax which, although collected by the state. would be returned to the county of; its origin for expenditure ion the :' county highways. It is understood a bill along this line will be drawn for presentation to the general assembly. On the other hand the state highway commission, supported. It Is -; said, by the influence of the admin- ; istratlon, will have drafted a bill i calling for the collection of a easo- l line tax which will go into the state : highway fund. PROPOSED TAI OIV GASOUYE It is estimated that a tax of 1 cent a gallon on gasoline consumed by motor vehicles ln Indiana would raise approximately $1,500,000 annually. Seventeen states already have gasoiine consumption taxes, two of which. Oregon and Maryland, exact a tax of 2 icents a Fallen. The states having taxes of 1 cent a gallon are Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia. Ken- ; tucky. Louisiana, Montana. New I Mexico, Nor:h Ca-olina. Fer.nsylva- ' ma. South Carolina, South Dakota and Washington. In all of these states the tax is collected by the state government. Some, of the legislators. !-. ls indicated by the preliminary discussion of the proposed tax, may make an . issue of the question whether the state or the county Is to be the unit ln receiving a tax on an artic'.e hith;rto untaxed. Th great demand for road builiinsr wrhin coun;ie3 is expected to make the commissioners' stand one of formidable proportions. p.-obab!y supported by a contractors' lobby. The proposal to double tha pres. ent license foe for pleasure motor vehicles ls expected to met some opposition from the so-called "farm bloc," which probably will play an important part in th c.omlnsr session. Reports from the rural disiricts received by administration off.cials a- to the effect that the farmers, although desirous of more and better built roads, feel that a doubled license fse would make the operation of their cars too costly. Some assecblymeri believ. that a compromise v. ill be necessary whereby only a slight increase oa tho license fees wou'.d be made.
