The day after the meeting of Huck
with Lefty Flint and Duke Broggan
in the latter's office, Lefty entered
the Mettle Agency to look over the
cars on display there.
He seemed most interested In

Stephen came up to him and casually
mentioned few hidden merits Of the

Lefty's interest grew and before he
left he asked about road test. Ste

demonstrated on the road and told
Lefty he could take him out the fol-
lowing Wednesday.
"All right, put me down." Lefty
said Importantly. but listen, brother.

Stephen shook his head Sorry"

LEGAL FIGHT LOOMS

Long Battle by Attorneys tor
Theater Magnate's Wife
Is Expected.

! BY the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, September 5.-Pros-
poets for long-drawn-out legal battle
seemed certain today as the tedious
process of choosing jury to try Mrs
Alexander Pantages, wife of the wealthy
theatef magnate, on a murder charge,
entered its third day in Superior Court
here.
The defendant was taking strong
hand in this selection as botn the
prosecution and the defense exhausted
| half their peremptory challenges ano
a second panel of veniremen was called.
Mrs. Pantages Is charged by the state
with being under the influence OF
liquor and reckless driving in connec-
ton with an automobile accident June
16 which resulted In the death OF Joe
Rokumoto. :,
The theater operators wife held
whispered consultation with her three
attorneys yesterday when the oppor-
tunity to challenge one OF the talesmen
presented itself. /,
With two days of the trial left be-
hind, the plans of the defense became
more clearly defined. Max Steuer, New
York criminal lawyer, conducting Mrs
Pantages' case, revealed that the exact
cause of Rokumoto's death would be an
issue in the defense.
Questioning by defense attorneys also
indicated that they would try to show
that Mrs. Pantages had been suffering
from a nervous condition and that
Rokumoto might have been negligent
They further indicated that they would
stress the fact that Rokumoto might
have died from the effects OF an oper-
alton performed Immediately after the
crash.
In the face Of the defense plans,
Deputy District Attorney James p
Costello. admitted last night that Mrs
PantageS was under the observation OIL
alienists to preclude any attempt by
her attorneys to claim insanity. He
further announced that a prosecution
witness previously reported missing had
been located, and would serve as
valuable link In their chain Of witnesses

By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
VATICAN CITY, September 5.-The
statement that church and state should
work together harmoniously in the edu-
cational field was the central theme In
a letter by Pope Plus yesterday adj
dressed to the president of the Italian
Catholic University Federation on the
eve of its national convention.
The pontin said that those who seek
to oppose church and state disturbed
the present providential state of affairs
and infiict immense injury upon the
individual and all society. On the con-
trary, the more harmonious Is the
activity of the two powers, the more
solid will be the principle Of authority
and the more secure the welI-being and
future Of the nation"
The Pope, however, made clear his
contention that giving to God that
which Is Gods enables better recogni-
ton Of what should be given Caesar,
and declared that the gospel puts a
premium on the former.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, December 10
Twenty-one policemen, who were in
dicted on charges of bribery and eX-
tortion after an investigation by the
special August grand jury in 1928, were
given clean bills of health yesterday by
the December grand jury which ignored
the charges.
The jury passed over each name
when Morris .Clearfeld, known during
the former investigation as the man
with the little black book" failed to
appear in support of the charges.
All the policemen were suspended at
the time the charges were made against
them One or two resigned, others re-
Gently were reinstated by the Civil
Service Commission and some were
given outside aid.
The action against the men and for

District Attorney Monaghan's crime in

entire platoon and its leaders were ar

JUDGE BEN LINDSEY
RULED DISBARRED.
Action Is Taken on Charge He
Received $37,50O From
New York Woman.

By the Associated Press.
DENVER. December 1O.-Ben S.
Lindsey, militant exponent of compan-
tomato marriage and noted former Den
YER Juvenile Court Judge, yesterday was
disbarred from the practice of law IN
Colorado by the State Supreme Court
for accepting money from a prominent
New York and Denver society matron
for legal services while he was on the
bench
Lindsey Immediately upon being sp-
prised of the decision issued a state
ment asserting he was the victim of
political persecution.
The former juvenile judge was
charged specifically by the Bar Asso-
citation with accepting $37,5o0 from
Mrs. Helen Elwood Stokes, divorced
multimillionaire, for services in con-
testing Stokes will which cut of his
two children by the second Mrs. Stokes,
James and Helen Muriel, without be-
quests.
Lindsey Issues Order.
Through LindSey's interest in the
Stokes case the mother was able to
obtain for her two children approx
n1ately $3,00O,000 from the estate of
her former husband, in addition to
Sl56.5OO for her services as guardian
of the children under an order issued
bv Lindsey as judge of the Juvenile
Court. Her remuneration was in the
form of stocks in a company organized
by the estate. Using these as collateral,
she borrowed the money to pay Lindsey,
the record sets forth. The will left the
money to w. E. D. Stokes, jr., son
by a former marriage. The case was
settled out of court by agreement.
Contending that he had befriended
Mrs. Stokes, that his services to her
were disassociated from his work In
the Juvenile Court and that he acted
merely as arbitrator and mediator"
Lindsey denied in his argument before
the Supreme Court that his practices
had been unethical. The $37,500 re-
ceived from Mrs. Stokes, he asserted,
was a gift" as was $4,000 received
from Samuel Untermeyer of New York,
an attorney for Mrs. Stokes.
Lindsey contended that the gift" he
had received from Mrs. Stokes had been
approved by the Probate Court and that
when he had offered to return the
money as we'll as the $4,000 received
from Untermeyer. the benefactors re-
fused to take it back.

VOTE MAY DECIDE
TAX PRECEDENCE
Whether Action on Reduction
or Tariff Comes First Be-
fore Senate Today.
Rv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Senate wrestled again today with
the problem of whether tax reduction
or tariff revision should be given legis-
lative precedence, and a movement was
instituted to settle the question by the
process of bringing it to a vote.
Anxious that the tax measure-which
would slash per cent from all cor
poration and normal individual levies
on incomes of 1929-be approved at the
earliest possible date, administration
leaders sought. first of all, an agree
ment under which the tax resolution
would displace the tariff and be gives
prompt action.
Method of Procedure.
However. in event of this effort again
being INSTRUCTED, they had recourse 70
the proposed plan of calling upon the
Senate to vote on the question. This
involved only motion to lay aside
the tariff and take up tax resolutions,
and indications were that this pro-
posal commanded enough votes to ia
sure its approval.
Under the rules of the Senate such
a motion could not be made yesterday
when the tax resolution was reported
by the finance committee and, unable
to obtain unanimous consent for its i'm
mediate consideration, administration
