Some people said they were as large as marbles, some as large as golf balls, but H. W. Buchholz said most of those which fell near the B. & O. station were the size of grapefruit with the exception of one or two which were as big as watermelons. Warren Colwell was ,out in a boat during the hail-Storm trying to hide under an umbrella. Russell Martin, cashier of the Citizens' National Bank of Tipton, who was a member of Ralph Teetor’s fishing party last week end bad an amusing experience to relate. He said an old lady recently came into the bank and wanted to withdraw quite a sum of money. He counted ,it out for her in niee, .crisp new bills, as he always tried to give the ladies new bills. She handled these for a moment and returned them to him, asking him if he didn’t have any old money—the soft kind. He said of coursa, and counted out some “old,” soiled, used bills. He remembered when she "withdrew money she always asked for old bills, and decided this time to ask why. When he asked her why she wanted "old” money. as he counted it out for her, she told him, “Those crisp new bills scratch my feet ” When the searchers were out Monday night, seeking to find the body of Mr. Hixon who had drowned, the powerful lights on their speed boat showed blue gills had commenced to bed in the lake. A sixteen cent raise on a cheap sack of flour within a week is a result of the flat ion craze. The forgotten man is now wondering what good inflation is doing him especial-: ly since he has no work and no money, and is forced to pay more for the necessities of life. Roosevelt wants control of industry. Does he also want to take over the bad accounts of business? Mahatma Gandhi has not had his name in. the papers for some time. To overcome this lick of publicity he has announced from the confines of a jail somewhere in India that on May 8 he will begin a three weeks' fast as a protest against the caste system. Foolhardiness or ignorance of the cruel relentless power of wind and water cause most of the drowning* on Lake Wawasee.. What ia so rare as a spring day in April or May? The proudest and wealthiest nation in the world, the United States has within two short months abandoned the gold standard, had every bank in the country closed, the effect of which paralyzed world finance, and the country is now definitely on the road of money inflation. The President has been accused of seeking to become a dictator and seems to be on the way to become one. Senator Carter Glass, Democrat, and foremost financial expert in Congress said that to devalue the gold dollar meant national repudiation and dishonor. He. claimed that over half the pepole of the country would be the sufferers under un bridled expansion. This attack , did not-come from the Mellon-Mills clique either. But Senator Thomas, advocate of expansion, said that people holding bonds of this country did not earn them, and this is the kind of man that the administration is following. BIRDS ARRIVE AT LAKE Miss Jennie Wren arrived at her lake home in a tree in the yard of A. W. Emerson’s home, according to Jean Emerson. She usually arrives on May 1, but this year reached the lake on April 30. On the first she was busy building a new home.

BEER LEGAL? 13 Positions Made To ; • Pay $l5O a Month and Expenses. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. — Appointment of 13 investigators to check beer permits already issued and applications now on file, was announced here by Paul Fry, state excise director. Those appointed are .'Hurless Nine of Warsaw; R. D. Vinzant of Hobart; Ed Palmer of Paoli; Frank Mcllwain of Rushville; Will H. Rogers of Madison; Ralph McNabb of Fort Wayne; John Ryan of Lafayette; William Brown of Indianapolis; Jack Strickland of Indianapolis; Gobert Gephart of Vincennes; Charles Wolford of Linton; Bert Yocum of Lafayette and Orris Willis of Petersburg. Salaries of the investigators will be $l5O a month and expenses while eway from home. Fry said each investigator will be given & badge and credentials so they can be identified.

Attacked in two courts and declared unconstitutional by the judge of one of them, Indiana's beer control law nevertheless will continue to be enforced, officials said, until the su- * preme court dictates otherwise. I Latest developments in the controversy over the validity of the act passed by the last general assembly are the action of Judge Frank P. \ Baker of Marion county criminal •court in holding it unconstitutional, j and of .Abe Rosen, Hammond bottler j who alleged in an affidavit he was , denied a w holesalers’ license when he refused to contribute SSOO to a Democratic “war chest.” - General Denial. Democratic party heads issued a general denial of Rosen’s allegation, filed as an affidavit in support of [his suit to restrain Excise Director i Paul Fry from preventing sale of j beer without a license. In one Lake j county court, Rosen obtained a temporary restraining order and in another Attorney General Philip Lutz Jr. was granted a similar order restraining Rosen from making further sales without a license. The opinioin of Judge Baker was based principally on the major contentions in Rosen’s suit, namely that: If 3.2 per cent beer is. intoxicating it is in violation of the constitution. If it, is not intoxicating, prevention of . its sale without a license is in restraint of trade. v Padlock In Reserve Attorney General Lutz said if the state failed to gain convictions, it would proceed with enforcement under the provision of the act empowering the attorney general to gain an injunction padlocking for one year any property used in sale of beer in violation of the control act. Rosen’s affidavit was accompanied by a letter he said came from Fay W. Leas, law partner of R. Earl Peters, Democratic state chairman. The letter quoted Lees as saying Rosen’s failure to have the endorsement of the Lake county Democratic organization had resulted in inability to proceed in the matter of obtaining a permit. , Charges Capone Method Used Judge Baker charged that the General Assembly, in enacting the measure, attempted to do by legislation that which A1 Capone and other gang sters sought to do at the point of machine guns. . j ~ The court’s ruling, in effect, graned permission for any business establishment to sell 3.2 beer and wine without first obtaining a state permit to do so and gave any dealer or wholesaler authority to import beverages into the county from outside the state without purchasing their shipments through one of the two Marion county importers who are operating under provisions of the law. — Could Manufacture in County The decision also would give any firm or person the legal right to manufacture beer or wrine in the county without first having obtained the state permit required under the act. Sale and distribution of beer and #ine in kegs and barrels in the county also would be permitted under terms of the ruling and bottled beer and wine in any quantity would be sold legally. Woman Found Not Guilty. Judge opinion was given in the case of Mrs. Gladys Townsend, Negro. The woman was charged with drunkenness, was found not guilty because of insufficient evidence. The ruling was the first that has been made on the constitutionality of the beer bill in a Criminal court in the state, although two Lake county courts have concerned themselves with injunction actions growing out of the enforcement of certain sections of the law relative to the granting of dealer’s licenses. Judge Baker, commenting on his decision, declared he did not question the right of the state to collect license fees from manufacturers, wholesalers and dealers. “The Legislature has tried to do that which A1 Capone sought to dp by machine guns, in that members voted to grant dictatorship to importers, or beer barons, in districts in the state,” Judge Baker declared.
