 pear-Bride Brings Suit

Frankfort, ky, May 2s R - A rural romance that didn't end hap oily has given the Kentucky court Of appeals something to work on. The case is up before the learned justices on several angles, which have to do with breach of promise, dog licenses and Sabbath observ- anee.
 The best an ordinary layman can get out of the mass of briefs, peti- tions, etc, is this:
 Miss Kenova Damron and Wayne Hall, of Fleminesburg, were engaged to be married Sunday. Feb. IT. 1922. Hall didn't show up for the we'd ding. Miss Damron felt injured 10 the extent of S11,750 and sued for it.
 Hall says he doesn't owe her any thing. He says relative of Miss Damron was delegated to buy the license and bought 8 dog license in- stead of a marriage license, showing it around to other relatives and friends of the girl. thereby exposing him to great ridicule.
 Moreover, he says. Sunday is a legal holiday on which no business can be transacted legally and h. can't see that he ought 10 be penal ized for breaking. the law in that respect. .

STATE CHALLENGES
 18TH AMENDMENT
Ilinoir House Votes to Find
 What Rights Are Involved

Springfield, Ill.,. May B R)-The Illinois house of representatives has challenged the powers of congress to control medicinal and industrial alcohol and notwithstanding bever. ages by passage of a bill directing the attorney general to bring suit in the United States supreme court to decide what state rights had been granted congress with ratification of the 18th amendment. The vote, talk en last night, was 59 to 52.
 The supreme court decided re- gently in a suit brought by an in- dividual that the state specifically granted control of alcoholic bever- ages to congress and implied the granting of control of other alcohols and beverages. Representative Le Roy Green, of Rockford, H., spon- sor of the house bill. declared he believed a suit brought by a state would have more weight with the supreme court than one instituted by an individual.
 HI uIBiHS pdSsdkt ot ihe pAH- Green referred to the national situ- ation just before the Dred Scot de- cision and declared
 If you continue 10 drive the lih- erals as you have in the past five years, you'll find the nation where it was then--in controversy which can only be wiped out with blood"
 Green also assailed United States Congressman William Holladay. of Danville, Ill., for his recent defense in congress of police officer who had killed . youth riding with . bootlegger.
 Greens bill now goes to the ser- ate. An identical measure intro- duced in the senate simultaneously with introduction of the Green bill In the house. was referred to con- mittee and has not been reported.

Bauer. attractive mother of two children, whose body with two bullet holes in it was found along a Staten Island road. She was believed to have been slain by . man who gave her a lift in his au- tomobile when her own car broke down.
 Once stock man of 195 pounds, Hoffman wept as the jury in Brook lyn supreme court brought in its verdict. He was greeted by his form- CT wife, Mrs Agnes Heating Hoff- man. Rankin, and his 11-year-old daughter.
 His former wife expressed her joy at his acquittal and said they would remarry if she could obtain di- vorce. She said she had not seen her present husband for three and one- ! half years.
 The evidence against Hoffman was clfcumStantlal as tnere were no Wlt- nesses to the murder.
 At his first trial he was found guilty of murder in the second de- gree and sentenced to serve from 20 years to life in prison. He was grant ed a new trial which. was declared a mistral when his attorney tainted in the midst of his summation. At the third trial the jury disagreed. Hoffman had steadily maintained his innocence and rejected an offer of the prosecution to plead guilty to manslaughter. declaring he want ed death or freedom. District Attor- ney Albert C. Each announced that an additional indictment charging assault would not be pressed.

 Government chemists and medical experts were unanimous in the state- ment sthat the preparations sold by the alleged combine were worthless in treating tuberculosis.

GEN, 'CHlANG CALLS

Hops to Enlist Old Enemies Of
 ''Chrisiln General"

Shanghai, May 23 N-Enlistins of considerable Mohammedan aid Appeared today as . major strategic move by General Chiang Kali Ehek, so-called president of Nationalist China, to preserve the Ranking regime against the attack of the central China war lord, General Feng Yu-HsianE.
 Western. China has . large and paxerfui Mohammedan population whose armies- in the past have fn- Aicted severe defeats upon troops of Feng when he has attempted their subjugation. They would prove a most powerful ally to Chiang and conceivably might turn the balance of power in his direction.
 ;i Hankow dispatches today said two leaders had arrived from Chinese Turkestan by way of Szechwan province. They were en route to Ranking to confer with Chiang. It was understood the Ma tionalist government was deferring its campaign against Feng until it had assured itself of Mohammedan support in cutting off the retreat of Fens's troops te the west.
 Meanwhile Ndtionalist forces were taking up their positions along the Han KianS and the Peking- Hankow railway. Both Nanking and Hankow were subjected to the most rigid press censorship and only dispatches containing bare essentials of the sit- uation could be pushed through
 In repulse of Kwangsi armies which were engdged in an offensive against Canton for the control of Kwangtung the government of Gen. eral Chiang Kai Shek has won an- other victory. although the aid from Ranking to Canton hardly material ized in the form expected. The vic- tory, 1t is thought, should be much to permit Ranking to give its undi- vided attention to General Fenx, who in a public statement yesterday said: 'The extermination of Chiang kai-Shek is at hand.'

Canton. China. May 2 R-The Cantonese government has notified the foreign consular body that the Kwangsi military movement against the city and Kwangtung province has collapsed with surrender of B. 900 Kwangsi troops at Lupao, 25 miles northwest of here. Canton. which had lived for years in fear of capture and pillage, spent a wild and jubilant night in cele- bration of the victory. which was said here to have been due to the failure of the kwangsi generals to maintain their supplies and ammu- milton.
 The kwangsi attack, highly sue cessful at first, thus failed when Canton seemed just within grasp.

CRIME BOARD IN
new TANGLE
Times staff Photo

Despite the fact that the Pres
ident's commission on Law Enforce
ment and Observation has declared
prohibition violations will be given
no more attention than other phases
Of crime, 1t became apparent today
that the solution Of that part Of
the lawlessness problem is giving
the commission its greatest concern.
The commission has found public
opinion almost universally backs
other law enforcement activities,
such as efforts to prevent murder,
robbery. and the drug traffic--but
that on the question of violating
the statutes relating to prohibition
there is wide division of opinion.
Looking for Expert
At the outset the commission is
looking for ''an expert who knows
something about prohibition" who
can help prepare recommendations
on how the law is being observed
and how 1t can be enforced.
In an effort to obtain such an
Individual many officials have been
interviewed. Those who have ap-
peared before the commission whose
partial or full responsibility lies in
enforcement of the law included
Secretary Mellon. Attorney General
Mitchell. Assistant Secretary Of the
Treasury Seymour Lowman. and
Commissioner James NJ. Doran.
The rapidly shifting events in
the prohibition drama of the last
few weeks, including the public
furore over dry killings, the i'm
pending trials Of customs agents
for disarming dry forces, the efforts
ties, the mobilization of govern
ment forces on the Canadian border,
the proposed educational campaign
in the schools and its prompt veto
by President Hoover and other de-
tails of enforcement have or will
go before the commission.
Costs OF Crime
Experts are to be appointed also
for other phases of crime investiga-
ton, but just how many has not
been stated.
These experts will be charged with
compiling all possible information on
the many law violations and with
the preparation OF accurate statistics
as to observation and violation.
Most OF the information on crime
today is highly inaccurate, and some
OF it is described as pure bunk, such
as statements that the annual cost
of crime goes into many billions OF
dollars, according to members of the
commission.
Nobody knows what crime does

Despite the traffic drive, 90 de-

Speeding and reckless driving,

Thirty-eight were charged with
