DIR. Newman had testified that the dry squad

Chief Turner named the men who had been added
to the squad, refreshing his memory to dates

Perhaps every man defendant except Hedger and
Hudson has police record. Where does the blame
lie that none of them in the penitentiary in

city hall official some men have been arrested
many seven times and seven times have been
turned loose by jury of twelve men. Certain
brothers have been arrested three times, yet 1t Is

What can city officials do? The public won't stand
for our shooting the bootegger and they are ar
rested. tried, turned loose and come back to the
city hall to make sport of city officials who caused
their arrest"
If this is the case. what is the public going to
do about 1t? 1t Is clearly up to them
Chief of Police Angus mcdonnell testified that

under the Hedger regime Turner states that two
men were taken off the dry squad, but that the
purpose was that every patrolman was to be re-
sponsible for the enforcement of the prohibition
law and not just the dry squad as heretofore.
Captain r.. w. Hinton and Sergeant Duggan and
f. r. Akers swore that Hedger had at time
during his administration intimated that there

Mr.. Hedger told the men of The police de-

ment to the Government of the
Union of South Africa, and hence
forth will act exclusively as re-

Thus South Africa became the

as representatives of the King and
of the British Government as well.
The change was made effective
by the act of the South African
Government in accordance with an
Imperial Conference decision, and
it is expected that the governments
of the other dominions will follow
suit in the course of the present
year.
Henceforth the decisions of the

U. s. WILL TEST
OCEAN AIRPORT
Floating Field Will Be
Anchored in Atlantic.

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, July MOVED
by recent record breaking oceanic
flights by American airmen, the
Government will shortly undertake
extensive tests in the Atlantic
Ocean with a floating airdrone, the
United Press learned today.
The tests will be held in cooper
alton with engineers of the Dupont
works at Wilmington, Del. Work
on the ocean airport has been going
on for three years and it is expected
to be ready for anchorage in about
two months The device is 400 feet
square
A House member, influential in
naval affairs, predicted the Govern
ment will build one 1900 feet long
and 300 feet wide if the tests prove
successful.
Dupont engineers have asked the
Navy to place two mine sweepers at
their disposal to haul the seadrome
500 miles out into the Atlantic for
the tests. When anchored it will
float ninety feet below the water
and sixty feet above.
1t is planned to put the seadrome
through a vigorous six-month test
period. Navy airmen may test its
landing possibilities.
Success in this new venture will
increase the chances Of airplane
passenger service across the Allan
tic.

Male babies outnumbered females
by $3.50, thus furnishing ground for
hope that sometime the present sur

CAN'T ENJOIN 'FERRETS'
Taxpayers Must Find Other Rene
dies, Says Court.

Taxpayers seeking to prevent
huge sums being paid to tax fer
rets" must find other remedies in
the law than Supreme Court in
functions. Such is the opinion hand
ed down by the court in the case
of Glenn w. Anderson against
Charles Croop and other Elkhart
County officials.
Anderson sought to restrain the
county from paying w. Z. Lowe for
work in uncovering hidden property
for taxation. Injunction was denied
in Elkhart Superior Court and the
Supreme Court today affirmed the
decision. Chairman John Brown of
the State tax board declares that
the hiring of tax ferrets sillegal,
and a recent court decision required
that funds thus acquired be re-
turned to the county.
