BETTING LIKE GAMBLING

Decision on the legality of invest
inert betting at the Indiana Kennel

Arthur c. Van Duyn, Hancock
county circuit judge. in Greenfield,
who took under Amusement a petit
ton Of track operators for an order
restraining interference by police or
deputy sheriffs. The judge an
nounced he hoped to render his
verdict by II Saturday morning.
As track attorneys and counsel
for Police Chief Claude M Worley
and Sheriff George Winkler
wrangled over the inclusion of in
vestments on racing whippets in
legal definition of gambling, Gin
ton II. Givan, Marion country at
torney, made several oral thrusts at
County Prosecutor Judson L. Stark,
Who withdrew from the case Tues
day.

Givan addressed the court, Il shall
ask the prosecutor be enjoined from
bringing criminal indictments on
gaming charges for Interior pur-
poses"
He did not explain what he meant.
Stark said Tuesday he had prose-
cuted the case sufficiently in Marion
county, and that when change of
venue was granted from Superior
Judge James M. feathers court, lie
requested that it be taken to Hen
bricks county
During the reading of the trans

feathers, Givan interrupted, stating,
The prosecutor might have been
used as a witness in this case, but
he failed to appear. think Sheriff
Winkler made a mistake. when he
said before Judge feathers that

T. j. Mol, one of the track at
torneyS, opened the arguments,
pointing out that the action was
purely civil and stating that only
prina facie case need be made to
warrant the order.
Seeking to show that through the
envelope investment system no state
statute is violated, Omar Jackson
Greenfield, track attorney, said.
LET us say for example, you donate
a certain sum on a dog named 'Gyp.'
The track holds the money. deducts
a small per cent for brokerage, and
returns the investment with inter
est if the dog wins. If 'Gyp' loses,
the track keeps the investment
Mr.. Jackson called the dog
'Gyp.'" Herbert Spencer, city prose-
cutor interrupted. "Oh, how the
public will get 'gypped.' These track
operators are not in business for
their health, but for their wealth"
Money Returned on Demand
If the patron demands it, his
money will be returned, even If the
dog loses" jackson continued.

Girl. CLAIMS
12-HOUR RIDE
IN PARACHUTE
Leaps From Plane Soaring
Over Chicago; Lands
in Missouri ~
FLOATS PTS MILES
Declares Jump Was Made
at Height of $1,000
Feet in Sky.

By United Press
LOUISIANA, Mo, July 31.-Mary
DAILY, 20, who claimed to be the
worlds champion woman parachute
jumper, walked into Louisiana early
today and said she had just landed
from parachute jump that started
Tuesday afternoon over Chicago.
She said she cut loose from a
plane over Chicago at the height of
$1,000 feet with an oxygen tank and
1oated southwest about twelve hours
before she landed.
She claimed that she was UNI
conscious in the air for half an
hour when her oxygen ran out be-
fore she reached a level where she
could breathe.
The plane from which she leaped
was piloted by Bill Turgeon, she
said, and she dove off the wing at
4;45 p. m. yesterday, landing in a
field near Louisiana, at a. m.
today
The distance from Chicago to
Louisiana, Mo, is 276 air miles.
She said she tried to keep notes
on her reactions as she made the
cross-country parachute jump and
succeeded except for the time she
was unconscious. She wore a pen
Gil on string around her neck, she
said.
Worn T1uo EIv;v,o C,,ife
Miss DAILY said she formerly lived
in Chicago and was a parachute
jumper by trade, having established
a record at Toledo by leaping 5000
feet from plane. She said she
had lived in New York for the last
two years and gave her address
there as 255 West Fourteenth
street.
This is her story as told to
United Press correspondent:
MY pilot and took off from the
Chicago Flying Club field at ,. m.
Tuesday. It was 4:45 before we
were directly over the loop cut
loose.
Il wore two flying suits, one light
and one heavy, and two helmets.
Oxygen tanks were strapped to my
side so I could breathe at that alti-
tude. I later cut away the tanks
when they seemed to weight me
down. 1 cut away the heavy flying
suit when it almost stihed me.
THE wind was very strong at
$1,000 feet and I was carried rap
idly southwest. AS I dropped it
changed constantly, and several
times was carried some distance in
the opposite direction.
I finally landed on hill in an
overgroWn orchard near Louisiana
at about this morning. I could not
rid myself of the chute and was
forced to drag it through dense
underbrush and high weeds before
I reached the highway.

she was H.
1t was over Toledo she won her
membership in the famed Cater
pillar Club, as well as making the
ID OO0-foot record jump, she said.
She and her pilot were making
hurried trip from Chicago to
Cleveland when their motor sud-
denly caught fire over Toledo and
both were forced to take to their
'chutes. That was on Aug. 9, 1927,
she said
Apparently Mary didn't mind the
doubling attitude displayed toward
his story. She declared she made

"Thc most wonderful picture l have eyer seen'' such seems to be the unanimous verdict of the large audience who saw the famous play Ben HUT" at the Liberty last night At the resta uranus, lunch rooms and other places of business after the show the one subject of conve1- sation was this great superfeature And nothing else could be expected for this play truly surpasses any thing ever done, in more ways than one. Most great spectacles are poor in acting quality, but not 50 this one as Ramon Novarro, May Me IAvoy. Betty Bronson, Fra ncis X. Bushman, and in fact all the cast gave si'7i"''ed performances with no tuna slightest exaggeration.
 The stupendous scale on which the chariot race and great sea bat tie are staged is really awe-inspir- ing. and gives a vivid conception Of ancient war and sports.
 It would be impossible to mention the many different clements con-
 r.buted to the supremacy of this masterpiece, but i've c<n't help but nlenticr the rare beauty of the liv- ing rep]icas of the famous paintings which for more than a thousand gears have been the inspiration of all lovers of art. The coloring of these and other scenes, is the most perfect so ia rshoWn in Seward, and the vivid colors in vogue ill those days makes a brilliancy not soon forgotten.
 We certainly have nothing but admiration for the great care taken to mako every detail of costume, ornaments, and settings absolutely true historically. This makes It possible to view the picture as tho you were part of it in that ancient tinle, and also has rare educational effect There were many people in the audience last night who are seldom seen at the theatre, but they evidently could not resist the ap- peal, The biggest show on earth.

mcnt of differences, bit when 1t APP
peared to him that all litigation had
not been dropped, he presented the
facts to the grand jury again.
Work Is stopped.
All work on the monument was
stopped in 1928. due to lack Of funds
and diversity of interests caused by It'll

the association said.
