FEES ENRICH
AT T0RNEYS
Dry League Lawyers Paid
for Filing Abatement
Cases, Records Show.
GET 81 ,625 IN YEAR HERE
Practice Also Carried on in
Other County Courts.

Ethan A. Miles and Jesse e. Mar
tin, attorneys, have secured jpdg-
ments for $1,625 attorneys fees in
paddock suits in Marion County
alone, since May 1, 1926 records of
the f1ve Superior Courts show.
The amount represents fees Nin
twenty cases. Many other cases,
instituted by the pair, have been
taken to adjoining counties on
change of venue proceedings and at
torneys' fees awarded there.
Miles and Martin prosecute these
suits all over<the State. though not
SO extensively in the out-State coun-
ties as here.
Fees for Martin
Miles is Indiana Anti-Saloon
League attorney. Martin has an Of
fee In the League Offices, 1901 Roose-
ve1t Bldg. but says he does not re-
ceive salary from the League. He
gets these fees and is paid for speak
ing on Sundays for the League, be-
sides engaging in general practice
of law.
Miles denies he pockets any money
except his salary. Four warrants in
the State auditors office, however,
the records show were issued to him.
The attorneys get this compensa-
ton, practicing under three drastic
sections of the Wright bone-dry law.
pushed through the last Legislature
by the league.
Sections 25 and 26 provide they
can prosecute paddock suits in the
name of the State of Indiana and
receive attorneys fees. by judgment
against defendants, for their private
gain.
Paid for Briefs
Section 81 makes them assistant
prosecutors In all liquor cases.
Operating under this protision. Miles
has briefed nine liquor cases in. the
State Supreme Court and received
s170 for his services, incomplete rec
ords in the office of State Auditor
Lew S. Bowman revealed.
This is not the full extent of his
compensation from this source, but
a complete check Is precluded by the
fact that records of certain warrants
payable to him have been withdrawn
and are missing from the auditors
files. - :
Miles and Martin do not have a,
monopoly on the paddock cases. but
they represented the State in q.
majority of the cases adjudicated in
the last fourteen months.
Deputy Prosecutors Paul Rhoad-
arr1er, Carl vandiver, Judson Stark
and John Niblack appear for the
State in most of the other cases.
Fixed by Court
The law stipulates the court. pad

Judgment for reasonable attorneys
fees in favor Of the plaintiff" and
that they shall be paid to the at
torney or attorneys for the plaintiff. -
In the case Of afdeputy prosecutor
the attorneys fees "shall be addi-
tional to any compensation allowed

vfdes.

any persons on foot are to be seen while hundreds of motor cars hurtlc by, their occupants loiling in their seats and gazing indolcntly upon the rapidly passing scenery,
 With the advent of rapid individ- ual transportation walking for pleas ure has fallen largely into the dis card. Even school children ride short distances to school when the trip could be made advantageously by walking. Children without means Of transportation are acquiring inc habit Of spending 15 or more min utes on q street corner soliciting rides when the same time expended in walking would enable them to reach school quickly and afford moderate exercise.
 The failure Of walking to achieve wider popularity is due largely 10 lack Of appreciation of it's advau- tares.
 Walking is primarily rocreational in character. for it offers changes Of scene which are not too rapid for assimilation and appreciation. To one who is obseryaut there is a never failing variety of interesting occurrcuces and objects for obserya- tion.
 For one who is deficient in pow CTS of observation there is an eN- callent opportunity for Sharpening ! the senses of perception. No matter what may be the par ticular hobby og the walker, wheth- CT birds, trees, architecture, ani- mals or automobiles, thcrc is abundant opportunity for satisfying study Of these subjects while taking Ia walk.
 Walking has the disadvantage of | being free. Most divorsons on tht other hand, cannot b. iudulged in without acquiring some apparatus or belonging to special organiza- ton or club. Walking also has tho misfortune of being relatively mild exercise, offering little oppor- tuuity for competition.
 The public seems most approcia- tive of things that may only be St. cured by snort and expense.

There We're a hundred stories floating around, but when the smoke cleared away both Leslie and young Yer irzen had been dropped from col lege, the girl for whose favor they were rivals had gone away, with no clue to her whereabouts; and Noela ring and several other valuable pieces of iewelry were never re covered. But there was no prosecu- rtcn and il was believed that Philip Ncri-zen had settled all claims out Q, his personal purse.

Noel. thrown suddenly upon his own resources after having been indulged in every whim since boyhood, had but one recourse, the violin which he had studied ever since he could hold the bow.
