Chicago. June 2.-(AP)-
One of the most comprehensive
indictments in the prohibition

turned here by the federal grand
jury yesterday. It named lOl
persons Of Melrose park, and
charged the operation of an al.
cohOl ring SO large its profits

the community of 10000 per-
sons. In one year. investiga-
tors said. the alleged ring used
100000 pounds of sugar in
the manufacture of alcohol.
All the stills seized were
found to have been Of uniform
make, a fact interpreted as in.
dicating one single source sup.
piled them.
Village officers were charged
with having couspired with
leaders Of the syndicate, allow
ing them the use Of an unlim-
tied supply Of city water for
cooling the stills at a cost of

AUSTRALIANS IN
HAWAII SET FOR
SECOND FLIGHT
3,144 Miles of Vast Ocean Is
Next Path of Birdmen to
Tiny Islard
TWO ISLES CONSIDERED
Southern Cross Crew of Four
Hopefully Turns to Plans
for Life Risk

Honolulu. June c.-(AP)-En-
couraged by successful 2,4OO mile
flight along the treachcrous Pacific
air lane from Oakland, Calf, the
crew of the huge tri-motored mono-
plane Southern Cross today turned
with confidence to preparations for
the second and longest hop in the
7,7S8 mile flight to Australia.
After covering the distance from
Oakland with some fuel in reserve
on their landing at Wheeler Field
here. Captain Charles kingsford-
Smith and his three companions
faced the problem of planning to fly
3,l44 miles to Suva or to the Isle Of
Opolu, at British Samoa. about $500
miles from Hawaii. They pointed
out that they had enough gasoline
to fly for three hours when they
reached here q hours and 2S min
utes after leaving the mainland.
They left Oakland with 200 gallons
of gasoline and could carry 1,5OO
gallons.
The next hop is recognized by avi-
ators as the most perilous of the
journey and the facilities for land
ing at Opolu were recommended by
the British consul here as being bet
ter than those at Suva.
After their arrival yesterday the
four airmen slept at a Waikiki ho-
tel. A small dinner was held in
their honor last night and they
planned visit today to Governor
Wallace R. Harrington, who was at
the field yesterday to greet them.
Beacon l.: Undecided
Whether the radio beacon would
be used on the flight from Barking
Sands was undecided. Army au-
thorities stood ready to arrange this
service if requested.
On the flight to Honolulu the
radio beacon functioned perfectly
for the first three hours ~,hen it was
lost by the Southern Cross. The
directional signals which were in
tended to keep the plane on true
course were never picked up again
by the plane.
Lieutenant Commander Harry
Lyon. navigator kept the plane on
the course by dead reckoning.
AS a check, James Warner, the
radio per:tor, kept up steady COM
munication with ships and short
wave shore stations. Aviators con-
sidered the outstanding feat of the
flight to be the exceptional success
of these radio communications.
Night Signals Exchanged
During Thursday night the South
ern Cross sighted three ships with
which searchlight signals were ex-
changed. The night was cold and
the pilots, kingsford-S Smith and
Ulm, in the front seat found their
fur-lined flying clothes comfort
able.
The clouds through which the
Southern Cross raced continued to
block visibility until the plane was
with 800 miles of Hawaii. The
first isle sighted was Maunakea.
Upon reaching Oahu, their dcstina-
ton, fleet of escort planes point
ed the way to Wheeler field.
A cheer of steamer whistles and
automobile horns greeted the plane
as it flew over Honolulu. At Wheel
er field the flyers were welcomed
by crowd which included repre-
sentatives Of Hawaii's officials and
civic life.

STORY OF GRAFT
I. IS REVEALED IN
GOTHAM COURT
Street Cleaning Department
Involved = Amount May
Reach 100000

New York, June 2.-(H1-A story
Of graft in the New York street
cleaning department with the
amount involved estimated between
$5,OOO,0O and $7,OOO,OOO, was on
record today in the trial of two
suspended officials of the depart
ment.
The estimate was made by Will
liam j. Lougheed, suspended fore
man, as q witness for the state in
the trial Of Charles A. MCGEE and
William j. Oswald, his superiors in
the Bronx division.
Lougheed, who had been in the de-
partment for 80 years, said that in
1915 he decided to get some of the
easy money himself and that in 10
Of the last 13 years he had actually
witnessed the theft of 100000
from the city through payroll pad
ding.
Although he said his conscience
always hurt for every "dirty doi-
lar" he testified that he had person
ally collected about 100000 in
graft since 1915.
Tie @OV.6-W Wcch garage 1OISIl0tt
told Of flashing a roll" of $4,000
around the garage, Of losing a.
much as 10000 in one days betting
at the Belmont Park Race track.
and of throwing $4,000 in small
bills into the air one day in the
garage "just for the fun Of it,.
He said everybody in the Bronx
knew him as ! hig gambler and
that he sometimes wagered as much
as $1,000 on one roll Of the dice in
games in the garage with other en-
ployes.
Although he gave the court nc
definite proof, he said he believed
the graft went "clear downtown
by which he meant to high officials
in the city government. He named
Alfred A. Taylor, street cleaning
commissioner, a. . possible recip-
lent Of some Of the graft. Mr.;
Taylor later vehemently denied the
charges.

Legislature Held within
Rights in Making Laws
About Sunday Observance

Holding that the legislature has
full power to make laws regarding
the observance Of Sunday, the state
supreme court has remanded to the
Ward county court the cases o.
Isaak Diamond, Herman H. Diamond
and David Levich.
+ Each was arraigned before Judg,
William Murray IN the Ward coun
ty court on 4 charge Of selling
groceries after 10 o'clock on Sun
day morning. Each was dismissed
when Judge Murray held the Law
against Sunday commerce unconsti
tutional. Appeal from this ruling
was taken by the state to the su
preme court.
Judge Murray had held that the
law against selling on Sunday vio
lated the fourteenth amendment o1
the United States constitution
which guarantees to all individuals
equal pro. lection from the law. Hi.
ruling sustained q contention Of the
defendants that they were being dis
criminated against since confection'
cry stores, news stands and certain
other establishments were permit
ted to operate on Sunday.
High Courts Ruling
The supreme court held, however
that the rule regarding the sale o1
groceries applied to all groceries
alike and that the constitution guar
anteed only equal treatment Of per
sons similarly situated. The legis.
lature has ample power, it said, tt
determine what restrictions shall
apply nth regard 10 doing business
on Sunday, the only restriction be-
ing that all persons in any line o1
business must be treated alike.
The cases were remanded to the
Ward county court for further &C.
tion in lire with the courts deci.
sion.
Can Sue Mill Association
In another decision today the 81.
preme court held that the state mil
and elevator association is liable
to suit on the same basis as an in.
dividual or private corporation. The
decision upheld one previously Civ
en- by the Burlcigh county district
court in the case Of Knute Bakken
who il seeking to recover damage,
for personal injuries sustained Al
the Drake Mill in 1920. Bakken wal
employed by the state auditing

pealed to the supreme court when
the district court ruled against it.
The case was remanded to the
lower court for trial.
