A secretary would be employed. whose salary together with expenses of the board, would not exceed $.",000 a year. Five per cent of gross receipts from exhibitions held and fees for licenses issued would bn the source of revenue of the hoaid, any surplus being turned over to the state school fund. The bill also provides for contestants being examined by a physician and being declared physically sound before being permitted to engage in a contest, for the use of six-ounce gloves, and for penalties to avoid holding fake contests. The board would have authority to bar contestants and to revoke licenses upon evidence warranting such action. Fxisting loan "shark" laws will be attacked when Rep.

0 Consider Wright Amendment to Prohibit Drug Store Sales of Liquor. By IVited l'res.: INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Jan. 18.Ftrengthening of the prohibition lav will be one of the first matters taken up by the lower house of the legislature when it reconvenes Monday afternoon. The committee on public morals will at that time report favorably on the Wright amendment to the prohibition law which would prohibit drug stores from handling whisky under any conditions and would remove the provision which allows a person to have one gallon of whisky and 12 quarts of beer in his possession. Foth houses were adjourned today until Monday afternoon. There were but few legislators in their seats today, the majority taking advantage of the week-end to return to their homes. Both houses Monday will probably have placed before them a hill which will supplant the state highway law. It Is believed that the measure would simplify the work ings of the highway law In many ways. It will b presented in the house by Rep. Oliver Buller of Grant county and In the senate by Luke Duffy of Indianapolis. State prisoners may be employed In building roads, under the provisions of the new bill. It was drafted after conferences of several days between members of the legislature and members of the highway commission with good roads advocates. A tight is expected in the senate next Wednesday when the Sunday movie bill, vetoed by Jov. Goodrich at the end of the legislative session in 1917, is brought up. However, sentiment today seemed to favor concurrence in the governor's veto and passage of a new measure which would permit Sunday theaters only after 2 o'clock in the afternoon. TRINITY PRESBYTERIAN A prohibition thanksgiving service will be held at the Trinity Presbyterian church on Sunday evening at T:r.0. Dr. Perry K.

Even the Assistant Chief is Kept in the Dark When Auto is Stolen.
As a test of the cooperation tween the pres and the police. v. e cite the following facs: Joseph M. Stephenson, publisher of The Newtt-Times, reported th? theft of his Hudson automobile to Capt. James K Schock of the police i station at 6 o'clock Friday evening. ! usual, had been parked ! The car. as in front of The News-Times oflice. . . i At 3:30 p. m. an emplojo or tne business office saw the car standing ' where it had been left. At 6 o'clock, not more than a half hour after the disappearance of the car, Mr. Ftcphenson notified the police that his Hudson speedster, Mt:body with red wheel, factory number J46582, four-passenger car. had been stolen. Saturday morning at 3 o'clock he again called at police headquarters to see what had been done about the theft. He asked if Laporte. Niles and other nearby towns had len notified, the answer he received to this query beim:: "So, we don't notify other towns unless the toll calls are paid for." Chancing to meet Asst. Chief Cassidy at noon on Saturday, he inquired if anything had developed in the case. "What case?" asked Cassidy. "Weren't you notified that my car had been stolen?" asked Stephenson. "Haven't heard a thing about it," said Cassidy. Evidently thefts of this sort ar. being kept a secret by the police. A News-Times reporter spent at least three hours at the police station Friday evening, inquiring several times of Capt. Schock if he had any items for the morning paper, and each time receiving this reply, "Not a thing." The same thing is true in reference to Night Sergt. Zgodzinski in the basement of the city hall. Ho stated that no thefts had been reported to him. It would be a good idea for those people of South Rend who own cars to drop over to the police station as soon as possible, and make a deposit j covering the toll between Soutn Bend and nearby towns. Then, when your car is stolen (and it is liable to be unless someone is sitting in it) the police may notify the officials of surrounding towns. What better medium have the police of acquainting the public with the facts concerning crime than th press? The widest publicity should be given to eases of theft and similar transgressions, but it appears that the South Bend police have a theorv of their own regarding this.
