PILOT OF XII KLUX
ADVERTISING PLANE
NOT TO BE ARRESTED
Police Commissioner De-
cided to Drop Prosecu-
ton of Aviator.

No charges will be filed against Jack
Hair, commercial aviator, in connec-
ton with the distribution Of circul.rs
from an airplane advertising the Ku
Klux Klan public initiation at the
Speedway last Friday night. Whethed
action will be taken to bar civilian
filters from Stinson field. will depend
upon the advice of the legal depart

This was stated by Fire and Police
Commissioner Phil Wright Thursday
following a conference with Mayor
Tobin and other city and county au-
thOrities.
No charges will be filed" Commits
sioner Wright said. We have thor
oughl yconsidered the matter md have
decided to wash onr hands OF the en-
tire proposition. Really. it is a small
and insignificant matter, under the
circumstances. am convinced the
flier was honest about it. 1t was sole
ly a business proposition with him.
He was paid to distribute the circu.
lars. No prosecution heretofore had
been pushed because of die .oution of
advertising matter from planes-large-
~ because we did not know who it was
that distributed them.
while ii is strictly agai. the or
dinance TO distribute advertising mat
ter on the streets of the city. yet the
flier. because no prosecution had re-
suited in the past would reasonably
feel he was violating no law.
Taken all in all. some people might
be led to believe il persecution. rather
than prosecution il we proceeded
against Hair. De want to be abso-
lutely fair and for that reason have de-
cided to overlook the incid, I. | am
convinced sufficient warning has been
given to prevent such an occurrence in
the future

DRY AMENDMENTS

Many Laws.

Atlantic City. Sept. 2..-Repeal Of
the prohibition amendment was advo-
Gated by the American Bankers Asso-
citation and introduced by Waldo New
conner, president of the national bank
division.
The constitution of the' United
States was never intended to be II code

lay down the respective rights of
the national and state governments, ="
he said.
Il regret that the question of pro-
hibition was introduced into our con-
stitution," Mr.. Newcomer said. "bc-
cause it opens the way for the in
PRODUCTION of other amendments COW
ering all crimes and misdemcanors.
One Of the great evils Of the pres
ent day is the enormous number of
laws being passed and it is charged
that there is a deliberate Bolshevik
influence at work to increase the laws
so that they viii be sotnumerous they
can't possibly be enforced.
The tendency TO regulate every
thing by law has the effect of making
the code so cumbersome that nobody

Representatives TO institute injunc-

to restrain Gov. ]. G. Walton from
prohibiting the meeting of the lower
chamber.

The fight is over so far as the
House is concerned" Governor Wal

statement with the declaration that,
when court action is btgun by the
legislators he probably will not APP

Questioned concerning the proba-
bility that martial law might b. made
less stringent throughout the state,
the chief Executive said:

opposition against the visible govern

Paris. Sept. 2s.-The Greco-Italian
affair was brought TO a close today. so
far as the inter-allied council of am
hassadoors is concerned, when that
body decided that the 50.000.000 lire
deposited by Greece in the bank of
Switzerland as security for indemnity
should be paid over TO Italy.
The payment was ordered rs pen
atty for Greece's dilatoriness in
searching for the assassinss of the
Italian boundary mission near Janina.
Geneva. Sept. 21.-The Greece
Italian crisis was revived last night
with stunning force by Nicholas Po-
litis, former Greek minister of for
eign affairs and now representative of
his country on the Council of the
League of Nations.
Assuming from press forecast that
Greece would be obliged TO pay Italy
the J0.000.0O0 lire deposited by her
as security for indemnity. NJ. Politis
declared that such decision on the
part of the council OF ambassadors
would be an outrageous injustice and
would prove to the world that the dig
nations of Europe are in completely
TO strike blow at a small and de-
fcnseless country.
VI. Politis then expressed the de-
sire TO see the Journalists and the
correspondents of all nations later lis
tened to his Indictment of the meth
ssds employed by the ambassadors TO
arrive at the reported decision.
He charged the council of ambassa-
doris with having reached their con-
illusions without waiting for the final
report of the commission of inquiry
into the murder of the Italian MEM
bers of the Graeco-Albania boundary
commission. and insisted that several
members of the mission were con-
WINGED that the Greek government was
not responsible and that the murders
constituted an act of personal .yenge-
ance against General Tellini, head of
the Italian delegation, arranged in
Albanian territory.
He declared that the Investigation
was continuing because a bandit who
sure dered confessed to the Greek
authorities that ten DAYS prior to the
assassinations he had been requested
by the Albanian chief of police to or
ganizc the murder on Greek territory
