Plea For New Trial Deferred

The decision relative tor the petition of Milton K. Jacobs former vicepresident of the defunct Noble County Bank & Trust company asking for a new irial which was to be made by Special Judge D. R. Best has been deferred until this week. Arguments on the petition were held in the Steuben circuit court some time ago. The decision will be partially based on an interpretation of a paragraph in Indiana law regarding changes of venue. The decision was held up due to the Walling will suit which was being tried at Albion and in which Howard Mountz defense counsel was interested.

A combination of father, daughter and son will be established in the law firm of Burke, Burke &Burke at Elkhart soon. , Miss Beulah Burke, 26, and Jerome 22, completed law courses last week and will join their father, Hawley O. Burke in his law practice, when admitited to the bar.

FOR U. 5. SENATOR _ Continued from Page One liberals of America. We accept the challenger. The fight is on.” The deprocratic nominee for senator was appointeq public councellor by Gov. MeNutt ‘shortly after the latey took office on January 1, 1933. He immediately launched a crusade against high charging public atilities that has resulted in the saving of thousands of dollars to consumers. His latest victory was scor--2d only Monday when the Public Service Company of Indiana agreed to accept a rate reduction order that will save utility consumers in 288 southern Indiana citieg approximatey $BOO,OOO annually. , ‘Minton, who distinguished himself it Indiana university and Yale university, where he received the- master's degree, left his' law practice at New Albany to enter the first officers’ training camp at Fort Benjamin Harrison. ;

He was -made a captain in the Eighty-fourth division and served under fire at Verdun and in other engagements. Later he became judge advocate. of the Indiana depariment of the American Legion. Although Peters made repeated pre-convention claims to 1,450 delegates and asserted he would be nominated on the first ballot, the high tide of his strength was only 6391 votes, which he receiveq on the second ballot. Unable to attend the convention because of an attack of lumbago, United States Senator Frederick Van Nuys issued the following statement: “It was a fine and outstarding convention. The nominees are all outstanding men. Everyything looks fine for gemocracy in Indiana next November.” . : Senator Van Nuys said he would not return to Washington because of his illness. He plans to leave Monday for northern Michigan to spend iwo months in an effort to regain his health. The victory of Sherman Minton was made possible through the sirategy of Third Distract leaders. Ths district includes the populous counties of St. Joseph, LaPorte and Elkhart.

. "When Minton was only 249 votes short of the nomination on the third ballot, Rudolph Ackerman of South Bend, distriet chairman and Professor Clarence E. Manion of Notre Dame, a candfdate-, agreed 1o throw their strangth to the public counselor. The move was made after R. Earl Peters of Fort Wayne had made overtures to the' district leaders to throw ‘their strength to him. St. Joseph’s 96 votes were solid for Manion, while Minton and Peters were practically splitting the votes in LaPorte and Blkhart counties. e - In a.caucus held on the floor of the convention, Manion, concurred with district eladers that their votes should g 0 to Manion. Ackerman had previously made it emphatic that Sf. Joseph county would nct vote for Peiars “under any eircumstances.” r Peters then offered to throw all his votes to Manion, it was learned. A quick check-up revealed, however, that the combined strength of bath candidates would only be about. 800. ‘This figure was not sufficient to do any good. On advice of his backers Manion rejected. the offer, = -At this moment St. Joseph county was reached on the roll call. The, county’s . ninely-six votes were just sufficient to put over Minton. Other

THE PLATFORM.

Creation of a nonpartisian liquor control board, free textbooks for schools, retention of the gross income tax law and repeal of the primary low are called for in the democratic platform. Most of the lengthy platform dealt with reviewing the accomplishments of both the national and state amministrations, Lashing out at the platform adopted by the republican state convention a week ago, the democratic document contended that the republican planks for cuts and elimination in numerous existing taxes would “take away Dbractically all state income and make no adequate provision for the support of the state government.” ‘With regard to the so-called $1.50 and $l.OO tax levy limit laws, the democratic platform pledgeq repeal of the “emergency clause’ in the laws “wherever it can be done without impairing the proper function of locol government.” Other important planks included: Repeal of state tax board’s authority to make horizontal increases in assessed valuations. Use of direct taxeg exclusively for the reduction of the property tax. Reduction of governental expense. Retention of the intangible tax law. Use of gasoline revenue exclusiveiy for highway purposes. 2 Support of the child labor amendment to the federal Constitution. Use of the merit system in selection of state police personnel, Retention of the old age pension law. .

Enactment of a graduated net income tax when it is authorized by an amendment to the state Constitution. The liquor control plank said in part: “Profiting by the experience of all the states, we pledge ourselves to bring about such modifications in the administration, regulation of hours, sale, reduction of price to the coil—sumer, and similar changes, all under a nonpartisian state board of control, as will promote respect for law, protect persors and proberty, prevent the return of the open saloon and foster true temperance among the people of Indiana.” Marriage Licenses The following: marriage licenses have been issued by Clerk Harold V.

NEW SYSTEM FOR 1935 LICENSE State License Department To Assist In Collecting Fees; Change In | Drivrs’ LiCenses ; Elimination of “red tape” and delays in the purchase of automobile license plates will be accomplished in a new system announced by Frank Finney st_'ate auto ficense bureau direc tor. : Under the new plan to be started with distribution of 1935 plates December 1, applications for licenses will be made out partially by the state license. department instead of at branch offices as in the past. The applications are to be made out from data obtained from records now on file in Finney’s office, and will be mailed to auto owners before December 1 of each year. : Finney said the new system will eliminate long delays at local license bureaus, which formerly were required to fill in and check detailed application forms. . Auto owners will not have to present titles to their cars in making application for license under the new ‘plan. Except in cases of new cars -where no plates have been issued before the titles are registered with the ‘state license bureau. : . After the owner receivs his applicat‘i‘bn from the state he will be rei quired only to fill in his name county and township, pay the fee and show a poll tax receipt. : Accompanying the license application from the state bureau will be two drivers’ license applications. This plan, Finney saifl, will give applicants time to fill out blanks before going to license branch offices. The 1935 drivers’ licenses will be changed considerably from the old form in use guring the past five years. The new licenses will be printed on small cards and will bear only name, address and age of the applicant.

2,475 Beer Permits Issued A 10 per cent decrease in the number of Indiana druggists licensed to sell gpiritous liquors was revealed by Paul P. Fry state excise director. A year ago 539 drug stores obtained licenses, but 50 of these failed to make application for renewal this year, Fry said. “Most of the drug stores that have dropped out never should have been licensed in the first place” he explained. “They were not needed as whisky dispensers.” About 5 per cent of the licensed beer dealers failed to renew, Fry said. There are 2,475 beer permits in effect throughout the state. wWall Paper—Knight’s Drug Store.
