POCKET VETO OF
g BILLS WILL
GET COURT TEST
Group viii Go to Courts With
Contention Measures
Are Laws.

Test of the pocket Veto" which
caused the death of thirty-two bills
passed by the recent Indiana Legis-
| lature, will be made in the courts,
according to announcement of Attor-
ney Merlo N. A. Walker, Indianapo-
lis.
Walker declares that a group of
citizens interested in bills that were
never signed feel that their defeat by
failure of Governor Jackson to sign
them is unconstitutional, and that
the measures therefore became laws.
Action to test the matter will be in
stituted in one of the Marion County
courts, he declared.
Want Bill Printed
Secretary of State Frederick E.
Schortemeier will be asked to have
one of the bills printed as a law to
facilitate the court test, Walker
said. Should he refuse to do this
upon advice of Attorney General
Arthur l.. Gilliom, mandamus suit
will be instituted in an attempt to
force the printing of at least one
of the bills.
Pocket veto has been custom of
long standing in the State. 1t has
been considered that any bill that
fails to reach the Governors desk
three days before the session closes
may be defeated without a veto
message by tabling and remaining
unsigned.
City Measure Died
Walker expressed special interest
in the Baltimore street improve
ment bill, which was one of the
city administration measures de-
feated by the lack of Jackson's
signature. 1t would legalize a $121,-
900 bond issue for the improvements.
Another Indianapolis administra-
ton measure that failed of signature
would give City Controller William
c. Buser, brother-in-law of Mayor
John Duval, a $1,000 salary boost.
The much discussed bills licensing
BARRIERS and hair dressers were also
on the pocket veto list.

ACT ON FALL
OF SHANGHAI
Marines Land in Chinese
City to Aid Other For
eign Units.

BU United Press
SHANGHAI, March 21.-Shang-
hal, the native portion of which was
captured today by Cantonese troops
was the scene of widespread riotine
this afternoon, with incendiary MODS
of strikers joining Nationalist sol
diers in victorious glee.
Fire, turmoil and death followed
the Canton troopers into the native
city, while foreign soldiers and
sailors, including United States ma
rines, guarded a tense foreign settle
ment from invasion.
Cantonese SOLDIERS killed one Brit
ish Punjab soldier and wounded an
other on the North Szchuen road
outside the foreign settlement but on
settlement property.
Burn Police Station
Native police fired on mobs which
burned one police station, captured
five others and were repulsed when
they attacked two more.
A general strike was declared an
hour after the southerners took over
the city, and a state of emergency
was proclaimed soon afterwards.
United States marines, heretofore
kept aboard warships except for
brief marches through Shanghai
were landed in force early in the
AFTERNOON and joined British, French,
Japanese, Spanish and Italian troops
in guarding the settlement. which
was protected by barbed wire en-
tanglements, pointed stockades and
sandbag breastworks. Volunteers
were called out to help defend the
settlement.
The capture of Shanghai came
suddenly at IL a. m. Even after the
northern defense crumbled at Sung
kiang Saturday, it was not believed
the southerners could capture this
rich seaport within three days. But
the heart was out of the Chang
Chung Chang troops defending the
city, and with only desultory resist
ance they dropped back mile by mile
all day Sunday before the advanc-
ing Nationalist.
Through the warm, moonlit night
the sound Of rifle fire kept the for
eign settlement awake and tense.
Even this morning, with the guns
sounding closer and closer. it was
rot believed the city would fall be-
iore tomorrow.
United States Marines, in full kits,
carrying arms and wearing metal
helmets, paraded the settlement
nhortly after 10 o'clock. to give con
lidence to the foreign residents.
Then the Marines returned to their
ships. y
Rifle fire grew louder; it also grew
more desultory. Tired northern sol
,liers began to stream into the city,
3elling their arms for a few cents
20 buy food Cantonese agents, it
was noted, were buying most of the
rms.
AT II o'clock the last resistance
AIDED, the sound Of guns stopped,
nd with dramatic suddenness the
aay.clad Cantonese marched into
slle,city and took possession.

SHIP FALLS TO
EARTHSH0RTLY
AFTER TAKE0FF
Proposed Flight From Hawaii
to Mainland Comes to Sud-
den End Monday
PLANE BADLY DAMAGED
Former Bismarck Youth Has
Not Decided Whether TO
Make Another Start

Mana, Island of Kauai. Hawaii.
July 5.-tP,--The twisted ruins Of
an airplane, n brokenhearted aviator
and a disappointed field staff were
all that remained today of the trans
oceanic flight project of Richard
Grace, Hollywood stunt flyer and
former resident Of Bismarck, N. ~.
who crashed to earth here yesterday
shortly after taking off for hop
alone to California.
The jinx, which has haunted Grace
practically since he arrived and laid
plans for the flight. permitted him
to come out of it unhurt. but the
plane was badly damaped. Whether
he will attempt to salvage his plane
for another attempt has not been de-
termined.
The stunt flyer took off at 5:24 a.
m. yesterday in his third attempt
to head for the mainland. While
still near the takeoff point and be-
fore he had headed his plane direct
plane was seen to flutter. Grace
headed it back toward the beach run
way and it noscd carthward at an
alarming speed.
Escs~cs Injury
Survivor of "a other air crashes,
Grace managed to hold the mono
plane under control after fashion
but it struck bushes on the edge of
the field. The fusclagc and one
wing were smashed but the stunt
flyer crawled out of the wreckage
unhurt He had been in the air just
81 minutes.
No official explanation of the
cause of the trouble was forthcom-
ing, but it was believed the takeoff
over the rough sands had SO shaken
the heavily loaded plane that its rud-
der was weakened. The plane carried
1922 gallons of gasoline and weighed
more than 1000 pounds.
Although materials have been or
dered for rebuilding the plane, it
was not made known whether the
task would be undertaken here.
Grace and his mechanician were said
to, hc considering returning to Homo
lulu tomorrow. ---

YOUNG ENSIGN
CALLED HERO
IN WAR ON RUM
Captures Steamer With $780,
600 Cargo of Alcohol AL
most Single-handed

New York, July 5.--dP)-A 27year-
old ensign of the coast guard who
almost single handed captured rum
steamer with $5OO,OO0 cargo and
crew of %, today was hailed as one
Of the greatest individual heroes in
the government war against rum.
Charles Duke. armed with rifle
containing only three cartridges,
leaped from small coast guard
patrol boat to the deck of the liquor
running craft, bowled over sailor
who sought to stop him, herded the
crew below decks and then stood
guard for three hours until help ar
rived.
The capture occurred almost in the
shadow of the statue of liberty.
Threat Proves Successful
Duke halted the ship by shouted
command to his crew to turn the
machine gun on this gang if they
don't bring this ship up ut once"
The coast guard boat carried no
machine gun, but Dukes threat sue
ceeded and the ship was swung about
SO sharply that she ran onto mud
bank
Calling another Of his crew to aid
him, Duke herded the rum running
crew below decks, while he ordered
the remaining two to set out for aid.
For three hours the ensign sat on
guard with his rifle across his
knees. Finally two larger patrol
boats reached the steamer and took
over the prize and its crew.
Inspection of the vessel revealed
100000 gallons of alcohol.
Duke was formerly a newspaper
reporter in Washington.

American Delegation Submits
New Total Tonnage Figures
For Cruisers-Japan's Re.
quest For Unrestricted
Number of Small Subma-
rines Due For Refusal

Geneva, July 5.-(R-The Amer
lean delegation submitted new total
tonnage figures for cruisers at to-
days secret session of the experts
of the tripartite- naval conferences.
Although official confirmation is
lacking, it is understood that the
United States, in spirit of COM
promise and in a genuine attempt to
meet Great Rritain's expressed needs
in cruisers, has suggested an increase
in the maximum tonnage for Great
Britain and the United States so that
the new total would be in the neigh
orbood of 100000 tons.
This is 100000 tons more than was
indicated in the original Anne rican
maximum proposal. and roughly cor
responds to the existing STRENGTH Of
the British cruiser fleet.
The experts adjourned almost i'm
mediately to permit the British and
Japanese plenipotentiaries to study
the new proposal from political
viewpoint.
1t is deemed doubtful that the
Americans would sign q treaty call
ing for cruiser tonnage higher
than their new maximum, as this,
it is thought, would be regarded by
public opinion as augmentation in
stead of limitation.
Indications are that the Japanesc
request for an unrestricted number
Of small submarines will be refused.
and that Japan must content herself
with slightly increased submarine
tonnage, though within the maximum
total suggested by the United States.

Release 21 Inmates

Marquette, Mich, July 5.-P)-
Twenty-one inmates of the Marquette
branch prison are held in detention

iny the rioting.
Ringleaders Of the plot were John
Podolski, Wayne County (Detroit)

and John Sipracki, Macomb county,
serving sentence for automobile
theft, prison officials declared. Sip
racki and Podolski, the officials
stated, were believed to have cut
their way through their cell bars
with an improvised hacksaw.
From their cells the two convicts
went to the disciplinary ward. where
they overpowered guard and re-
leased some of the most desperate
prisoners in the Marquette branch.
State and city police arrived in
