Now comes the time of the
year when the State automobile
license department instructS the
State police that all Indiana ma
chimes must have new plates by
the first Of February or be sub
ject to arrest.
The same rule was given out
last year and years before, but
then for some reason or other it
was extended for fifteen days.
Newspapers throughout the State
desiring to cooperate with the
State police gave them all of the
publicity possible, but then the
f1fteen-day extension was granted.
Such business as this on the de-
partment of the automobile license
bureau is all nonsense and UNI
called for. The newspapers are
made the goat" along with the
State police.
The statute in Indiana does not
allow any extension Of time. but
sets out that new plates shall be in
use on the first day of January
of each year. AS it is, bad prec-
edent has been established in al
lowing six weeks before the law
is enforced.
There are ia branch Offices that
distribute automobile licenses. 1t
formerly was such that plates had
to be obtained directly from the
Statehouse so that more time was
required, but now there should be
no excuse for any extension OF
time, as each branch Office could
handle all business during the
month of December, and arrests
begin on the first day Of the year.

AND PRISONER
IN MELEE

Policeman James z. Cross, of the
Ninth precinct, lost his dignity his
gun, his prospective prisoner, and
several teeth last night when he
walked into an alley near Third
and East Capitol Streets, to find out
who was causing trouble there.
Cross was not long in locating
the trouble maker. Shortly after
he entered the alley large colored
man was pointed out to him as the
one who had created the disturb
ance. Cross placed the man under
arrest and started to take him to
the patrol box.
This hurt the prisoners feelings
so he struck Cross in the jaw,
knocking his teeth out. Cross con.
tinued to drag the man to the box.
To show how badly he felt about the
disgrace of being arrested the man
struck Cross again. When Cross
failed to release him this time the
man became peeved.
So he broke loose from the po-
,liceman, cut him on the arm and
leg and took his pistol away. When
he began shooting Cross fled to q
nearby drug store. None of the bull.
let's took effect. Police are searching
for theh man and Cross gun.
