WASHINGTON. oct. 31.-Prosecu-
ticn Of big prohibition cases has been
indefinitely delayed because OF court
congestion.
That is the reason given by Attor-
ney General Daughcrty and minor
Federal officials.
Some important cases I'm which for
mer prohibition enforcement officials
have been indicted but have not como
to trial are:
HAROLD L. HART, former prohl-
bition director of New York indicted
Jan. 4, 1922, on charges Of conspiracy
to defraud the Government by the
issuance Of fraudulent permits for
withdrawal and transportation Of
liquor
w. c. MCCONNELL, former prohi-
biton director Of Pennsylvania, in
dicted March "a, 1922. on charges of
conspiracy to effect the fraudulent
withdrawal of liquor.
HERBERT G. CATROW, former
assistant prohibition director Of New
York. indicted April II, 1922, on
charges Of conspiracy to defraud tho
Government and with issuance Of H.
loyal permits.
Indicted with Hart were fifteen
other individuals and four firms.
Along with Mcconnell, indictments
were returned against his secretary,
his chief clerk and forty-four others.
Hart, Mcconnell, Catrow and the
others all deny the charges against
them
Trial Was to Come Quickly
Two days after the Hart Indictment
which, according to Assistant
United States District Attorney Max
we'll S. Mattuck, involves fake per
mits releasing at least 1000, 900 worth
of liquor from bonded warehouses
Federal officials said the case would
come to trial quickly.
Nearly ten months later Mattuok
says: THE courts have been cloggen.
Soon, however, we are to have three
more Federal judges in the New York
district. The Hart case will go on
the December calendar"
Attorney General Daugherty passes
responsibility to district officials.
The Department Of Justice is most
anxious to see all prohibition cases
expedited" says Daugherty. This
department, however, cannot properly
press for their trial to the prejudice

Overhead Perils

T ET'S take a peek into the future and see
l. what may become common occurrences in
sister cities of Indianapolis one of these days.
Governor harrington of Hawaii, the other
day, went for a fight in an airplane over Homo
lulu. When sailing over Pearl Harbor the plane
caught fire.
The pilot and his mechanic made the Governor
climb out on the wing and stay there, holding on
as the plane sped through the air while they
battled the flames Gliding downward the fam
ing plane struck the water, all swan until boat
picked them up
Aviation is becoming menace in Indianapo-
lis This is a sign of progress.
Automobiles did not reach their height Of use
fitness without proving themselves problem in
the protection Of the lives Of pedestrians and
drivers
The regulation Of aviation is more difficult
problem. Some of our numerous traffic experts,
professional and amateur, might turn their at
tentiOn toward making the air, and the earth
directly under an airplane, safe for humanity.

Why the Zeppelin?

ONE after another the gas bag airship blows
~ up and kills its crew One after another
our guileless Government buys more of these
man-traps, at millions Of dollars the piece, and
bang they 60 again.
In the name Of reason, what's the use7
The ighter-than-a airship--the dirigible bal
Ioon-was perfected at Lake Constance under
the patronage of the present Ex-Kaiser Wilhelm,
through the indefatigable efforts of Count Yep
pelin. The reason for the great money expendi-
ture on this enterprise was the desire for diri-
gible for war purposes. Tt proved failure in war.
There IS no question that the airplane is
as much superior to the Zeppelin as a hawk is
superior in flying to a fat barnyard turkey The
airplane is also less expensive. 1t is more sub
ject to control. It is less liable to accident It
is easier to care for when on the ground It is
less conspicuous; less a target for an enemy. It
is swifter. It is stronger. In every way it is
superior to the dirigible for war, domestic and
commercial purposes
IF we were working on dirigibles ourselves,
it would not be quite. so bad. IF we, ourselves,
believed we might make discoveries which would
revOlutiOnize aerial navigation, our loss of life
would be less inexcusable. Hardy peoples have

Two controlling reasons stand out for

claim he had in the armed march OF

gal precedent that an officer Of a la

Z. Keeney appears likely to reach
high office in the international or

reach such office they feel West Vir-

the effort Of the operators to establish
the legal precedent"
Says Evans:
THE United States Supreme Court
decision in the Coronado Coal Com
pany case from Arkansas early last
summer established the precedent that
a labor union can be sued for dam
ages for the loss Of property result
ing from strikes.
THE second step Of big employers IS
to get a court decision that will es.
tablish the precedent that high officers
Of labor union can be sent to Jail

Of criminal statutes"

some inferior people, we wait until some foreign
nation builds an airship, then we buy it at great
cost and proceed to get ourselves killed or Grip

nothing and have lost lot of money and many

All this seems self-evident and so clear that
only an extravagant, silly and self-functioning
bureaucracy would be guilty of fussing around in
this manner with the dirigible.
