PENALTY LIGHT
FOR SWINDLER
Woman Gets Half Sentence
Given Daisy Sullivan.

Another striking contrast in JUS
tice as dispensed in Indiana courts
is shown in sentencing at Ft. Wayne
of Miss Irma Bitzinger, 80, to a one
to seven-year term in the Indiana
Woman's prison following her plea
of guilty to obtaining 100000 in a
bond sWindle.
Daisy Sullivan, Greene county
hill girl, is also at the woman's
prison. Her term is two to fourteen
years. She forged a check for $3.50.
Twenty cents was spent for some
fruit. The remainder was recovered.
Daisy entered a plea Of guilty be-
fore Judge Van Buskirk in Greene
circuit court at Bloomfield Neither
attorney, friend nor relative was
present to advise her.
Despite efforts of attorneys to aid
her since she entered the prison,
and even an appeal to Governor
Harry G. Leslie, Daisy remains a
prisoner. She has been refused per-
mission by Judge Van Buskirk to
CoA4J ali dPPCol do d pun pei oOAl
to the Indiana supreme court.
One victim of Miss Bitzinger's
operations, in letter to a news
paper, tells of shattered hopes, men
tai anguish, suffering and privation
in the wake of her swindling. This
victim says that shortly before the
swindle became known publicly,
those who had intrusted money to
Miss Bitzinger held meetings in an
effort to devise some way in which
they could recoup at least part of
their losses.

An Irvington plumber will share

English derby lottery winnings be-
cause he bought a fifth interest in

the lucky plumber. Today he was
en- routest Quebec with Court, B.
H. Cambria of Cleveland and a rep
resentative of the Fletcher American
National bank, to effect settlement
of the capital prize.
Moore's interest in the winnings
became known wher it was learned
that Don Roberts, attorney, 1856
Olney street, had drawn up con-
tract for Court and Moore Wednes-
day night, arranging the division.
The race was run Wednesday
morning.
Roberts said Court, Moore and
Cambria came to his home Wednes-
day night after Court learned he
held the winning ticket and told
them they wanted contract

GARY, Ind, June driving an
automobile at a speed of f1fty-eight
miles an hour is not illegal under
certain conditions, City Judge G.
M. Greenlee of Gary held in the
nrst case calling for application of
1ndlanas new mo speed limit" Iaw.
In freeing the defendant. Judge
Greenlee declared:
Cities have no authority under
Indiana motor vehicle laws to pre-
scribe regulations defining speed
ing" N00
Stanley Wonso, a youthful driver
was the defendant given freedom
Police who arrested him said he was
driving at Twentieth street and
Broadway at f1fty-eight miles an
hour. The question for the court
10 decide was whether that speed
under the circumstances, was "rea-
sonable and prudent" terms used in
the new law.
IN applying the law to the case.
Judge Greenlee said:
The only manner in which cities
have authority over the operation
OF motor vehicles is in passing or
dlnances stating parking regula-
lions, locating stop streets and de-
Scrlolng methods of traffic regula-
ton. They have no right to state
no" fast a motorist may drive his
car. The state does that.
Under the new law the speed linn
1t Is not set. However. travelling at
more than thirty miles an hour in
residential sections and more than
twenty miles an hour in business
districts is prima facie evidence of
violating the state statute. But the
purpose of the law is to guarantee
reasonable and prudent driving.
This young man, I don't care IL

was driving in a prudent manner. I
am not encouraging speeding, but at
this time, he says, there was no traf-
nc, the street he was on at that
place is a one-Way side of the street,
and there were no immediate inter-
sections to cross. He was not en-
oangering public or private property
or the lives of other people. If you
want to break your own neck, that's
your own business. This law is to
protect the other fellow.
TO call the new law a speed law
is a miSnomer. The statute includes
far more than speeding. It is a law
regulating the operation of motor
vehicles. 1t describes the manner
In which they must be driven in
traffic and out of traffic. Reckless
driving and dangerous driving is
what the law is getting at"

Ogden Opinion Blasts Plans
to Sell Municipalities
Liability Insurance.
RULES LAW DEFECTIVE
Provision in New Drivers
License Measure Held
Unconstitutional,

Hopes of insurance companies to
sell the state, counties and munich
palities hundreds Of thousands of
dollars worth Of liability insurance
were blasted by Acknowledgement
James M. Ogden today.
In a formal opinion prepared for
Lawrence F. Orr, chief examiner of
the state board of accounts, Ogden
regarded as unconstitutional that
provision of the 1929 drivers license
law making the state, counties and
municipalities jointly liable with en-
ployes for negligence while driving
motor vehicles on the highways in
the course of their employment.
THE title covers the liability only
Of certain persons and corporations
negligent in the operation Of motor
vehicles on the public highways -
Ogden's opinion said. 1.-THE words
persons and corporations do not
include the state, counties and
municipalities"
He cited cases in which it was
held that the subject matter of an
act must be embraced in the title or
be regarded unconstitutional The
act, however, includes a Saving
clause" providing that the uncon-
stitutionality of any part or parts
shall not affect the validity of the
remaining parts.
Orr addressed the inquiry to Og-
cen after counties and municipali-
ties asked him if they would be re-
quired to fortify themselves with
protective insurance.
Informed of the attorney generals
opinion, Archie N. Bobbitt, auditor
of state, announced he would re-
fuse TO approve vouchers offered by
any state departments for liability
insurance.
