about a month ago. Since then
he had flown nearly thirty-fve
hours solo.
Monday Mr.. Perry took his pri-
vate license examination. He died
without knowing he had received
the license. Early Wednesday a
telegram was received for him at
the Indianapolis Power and Light
Company offices, but the tele-
gram, announcing he had been
given a license, was not opened
until after his death.
Airport attendants, bowed with
grief, kept news of the accident
to themselves rather than cast
shadow of gloom over the crowds
waiting to greet Colonel and Mrs.
Charles A. Lindbergh.

JUDGE ALLOWS
$4,000 WILD
BANK CLAIMS

Bond Sale After CoIIec-

VIOLATION OF LAW
Receivers Contention of
Immunity Due to Pur-
chase Date Is Refused.

Allowing $4,000 claims against
Richard Lowther, receiver for the
J. F. Wild & Co. state bank,
Probate Judge Mahlon E. Bash to-
day declared the second mortgage
IngelroSe Investment Company
bonds sold the claimants by the
bank we're not registered with the
Indiana securities commission.
This was most flagrant viola
ton of the law" Judge Bash de-
clared. "It is safe to say that if the
situation had been presented to the
commission, the sale Of these bonds
would not have been authorized
Judge Bash allowed eight claims,
ranging from $1,000 to $4,000 He
held them to be general claims
against the receiver, which means
that holders of the bonds will get
621a cents on each $1-the same
amount that had been paid de-
positorS in the defunct bank.
Frederick E. Schortemeier, one of
the claimants attorneys, said it
would appear from the holding of
the court that the court thought the
bonds we're sold illegally.
He remarked that the statute of
limitations has run on all but one
of the claims-that Of Miss Amanda
Hamilton of Greensburg, Ind, who
bought $4,000 Of the IngelroSe bonds
in July, 1923.
1t is understood there has been
no inquiry by the grand jury or
prosecuting attorney looking toward
prosecution along this line.
Plaintiffs attorneys contended
that the bonds were not registered,
and so were sold in violation of the
"blue sky law. Lowther contended
he was not liable for claims on pur-
chases from bank officials made
prior to the receivership, but Judge
Bash held the receiver took over the
banks liabilities as well as its as
sets.
The $4,000 claim of Charles
Schlegal, 635 West Twenty ninth
street, was the largest of the eight
included one trust COM
pany, three banks and four individ-
ualS.

BU United Prcss
WASHINGTON, June 27.-Belief
that President Herbert Hoover IA
vors an increase on the sugar tariff
was expressed by Stephen Love,
president of the United States Beet
sugar Association, at the senate
finance subcommittee sugar hearing
today.
Love. referring TO conversations
with the President, said he was sat
ished that he (Hoover) favored an
increase, but did not know what
rate the President might favor.
The opinion was expressed after
Senator Tom Connally Dem, TexJ
had interrupted the reading by Love
Of President CooIdges views on the
sugar tariff.
We want to know what President
Hoover thinks about the tariff
Connslly said.
Wall Street Blamed
Love said the Cuban government
and Wall Street interests having
large holdings IN Cuba we're the
source of most of the anti-sugar
tariff propaganda.
NO amount of Cuban prOpagan-
da." Love said, can convince Amer
lean farmers that they, American
citizens, have less right to expect
fair and Just treatment in tariff
matters before congress than resi-
dents and investors in Cuba
The beet and cane sugar industry
Of this country is in serious, crit
ical condition" as the result Of the
dumping of foreign sugar on to the
American market, Love testified. He
asserted that Cuba is producing too
much sugar for her own good.
The witness testified that en-
couragement of the domestic sugar
industry would aid in solving the
farm relief problem by diversitying
agriculture. The production OF beet,
cane and corn sugar can be great
w expanded and substituted Tor the
production of certain surplus crops.
Other Side Represented
The proposal to increase the
world duty on sugar from 2-2l cents
to 3 cents a pound was attacked by
q. r. Parker. of the American Ex-
porters and Importers Association
New York, who asked the present
duty on sugar he continued.
Senator Pat Harrison tDem.,
Miss.), read the financial statement
of the great Western Sugar Com
pany. a domestic sugar corporation.
A profit of more than $l5O,0O0,O 900,
has been realized by that company
on a s15,OOO 900 investment in 1905,
he said.
Don't they need more protec-
tion?" he asked Sarcastily.
Several witnesses representing
Texas fig growers asked the commit
tee to increase the duty on figs to 7
cents a pound on fresh figs and IA
cents point on preserved figs.

Interest in Clay Renewed Because of

Its Value to Industry.
Renewed activities and interest in
the kaolin deposits in Lawrence and
adjoining counties has brought
about an unusual demand for the
book "Kaolin of Indiana" published
in 1919 by Dr. w. N. Logan, state
geologist, it was announced by the
conservation department today.
In the book, DR.. Logan deals with
all phases Of this clay resource, used
so extensively in the manufacture
of alum cake, pottery and refractor-
les. The subjects are covered in 125
pages, with forty-two illustrative
plates. The books are sold by the
department at 25 cents.
1t was following this countrys en-
try into the World war that the de-
mand for kaolin suitable for manu-
featuring glass pots, whiteware, re-
fractories and for the purpose of
chemical warfare became insistent.
