YOUTHS BARRED
FROM FUNERAL
Five in Jail Not Allowed at
Gary Girls Burial.
By United Press

~ Cn1Ieu PTeSs
GARY, Ind, Dec. 3.-The body of
18-year-old Arlene Braves was
taken to Reynolds, Ind, for burial
today while the five youths charged
with causing her death curing a
drinking party were transferred
from the Gary jail to the county
Jail at Crown Point.
The youths, all members of
prominent families, were denied the
privilege of attending Miss braves
funeral Tuesday. About 500 per-
sons, including many boys and girls
who attended high school with Miss
braves before she was graduated
last year, attended the services.
With removal of the youths to
Crown Point, Prosecutor Oliver
Starr announced that a special
grand jury would be called next
Monday to hear his plea for first
degree murder charges against
them.
The five held are Virgil Kirkland,
David Thompson, Paul Barton, Leon
Stanford and Henry Shirk.
The crowd of men and boys who
packed streets around the court
building when the youths were ar
raigned was almost as large as that
at Miss braves funeral.

COURT RULES
AGAINST STATE
SECURITY LAW
South Bend Judge Decides
Statute Protecting In
veStorS Unconstitutional.
ACTION TO BE FOUGHT
Ruling Would Destroy Com
missioner Office; Supreme
Court Appeal Likely.

Judge Orlo r. Deah1 Of the st.
Joseph superior court, South Bend,
today ruled the Indiana securities
law unconstitutional.
Effect of such a ruling would
abolish the office of commissioner,
which this week was assumed by
William P. O'Neiu, MiShawaka, for
mer Democratic lieutenant governor,
according to Attorney General
James M. Ogden.
But the state is determined to
keep it's law, which is designed to
protect Hoosier investors from blue
sky Speculations, the attorney-gen-
eral declared.
VIII Seek Remedy
Procedure will be to file motions
to keep the case pending until
alleged unconstitutional features
can be remedied by the 1881 legis-
lature, or an appeal to the supreme
court can be perfected, Ogden de-
clared.
The case in which Judge Deahl
ruled IS that of Alexander B. Ship
man and Clarence B. Brilliant,
South Bend brokers, charged with
violating the law through securities
sales.
Merl Wall, deputy attorney gen.
eral, who handled the case for the
securities commission, commended
that that the judges ruling will
only. affect certain sections and
leave the primary structure of the
law unchanged.
Law Not Adequate
The courts finding was based on
several points, chief of which was
that the law is not subject to ade-
quate and accurate Interpretation
and in operation the jury would
have to determine the nature of the
crime.
The ruling pointed out specifical-
ly that the penal code of the act
does not conform to the correspond
ing sections and that its mandates
are not clearly expressed.
Constitutionaity of the law has
never been tested Ogden stated.

1 them, the railroads will be saved
 If the shippers sit by and, with out protest, allow the railroads to
 be impoverished by legislation, by unfair taxes and assessments, by eXorbitant verdicts, by unfair valu- ation or by reduction of freight rates to points which yield no profit to the carrier. they will have them selves 10 blame if, as result of such poverishment. the service becomes bad. If, on the other hand, they will resist unjust attacks on the railroads as they would resist them on themselves, and they are indirect attacks on themselves. if they will join with the manage ments in opposing such attacks, then they will be helping them selves as they help the carriers.
 "Mr. Lee said the other night that the railroads had rights and from now on they are going to fight for them; they cannot fight alone; they should not have to fight alone. The great army of shippers should enroll themselves with them be- cause it is q fact that the interest Of carriers and shippers is almost identical
