DRIVER LICENSE
LAW ATTACKED
Target of Suit Contesting
Legality and Fairness.

The attorney generals Office to-
day prepared to defend constitu-
tionality of the Indiana drivers Ii
cense law, enacted in 1929, against
attacks made in a suit filed Tues
day in Marion circuit court.
George Moss, indianapolis travel
ing man, whose license was revoked
by John G. McCord, license judge
in the office of Secretary of Sta 2
Otto G. Fifield, following Moss con-
viction in municipal court on a
charge of drunken driving, is plain
tiff.
Injunction is asked restraining
Fifield, James L. Bradley, chief Of
the auto license department, and his
assistant, William Schmidt, from en-
forcing any provisions of the act.
The petition argues the act Is I'M
constitutional on the ground it gives
officials power to convict a person
without the intervention Of a jury,
gives them power to summon drivers
to a hearing without enabling the
driver to compel attendance OF wit
neSses in his own behalf, and en-
powers the defendant officials to
compel forfeiture of an estate by
unconstitutional means.
Moss was represented in filing
the suit by the law firm of Baker,
Baker and Jacobs and not the firm
of Baker and Daniels, as enormously
stated Tuesday.

Veteran Snowman Obtains
Start for Canine Act in
Visit to Pound.
BY SHELDON KEY

A veteran Snowman went search
ing for stage talent in indianapolis
today with which he hopes to revive
one of the most famous big top
perS" of yesterday.
Four pudgy faced poodles of the
city dog pound will help Henry V.
Gentry, retired Snowman and for
mer owner of the famous Gentry
Dog and Pony show, again take his
place as the king of dog trainers"
Gentry, who has lived in Bloom
ington since he sold his show four
teen years ago, announced today he
will go on the road next spring as
soon as he can train seventy-five
dogs and forty ponies.
Sons to Run Show
Hundreds of fathers and mothers
who saw my show when they were
children sent letters asking why I
don't start my show again so I'm
starting in the business" Gentry
said today as he picked out some
likely talent at the dog pound for
his trick acts.
For forty years Gentry toured the
country. The show grew and he
prospered until finally he sold out
and retired. Promoters changed the
show to the Gentry circus and the
public wondered where the real
dog king" had gone.
Robert and Henry, sons of the
veteran trainer, will manage the
new show when dad gets them
started"
Loves Tiny Proteges
From now until spring the three
Gentrys will be busy teaching their
canine performers the tricks of yes
terday.
This famous Snowman disclosed a
few secrets. This is the way he
picks talen for his shows.
"See that look in that puppy'S
eye. He has intelligence and will be
a great actor some day just notice
how lively the little fellow is, -
Gentry remarked as he pulled a
fluffy white poodle from its kennel
at the pound.
"Ill buy about a hundred dogs
this summer and train them for my
show. They must all be good ma
tured and have that sparkle in their
eye that I recognize the minute I
see it"
That Gentry knows and loves his
tiny proteges was evident.
"Treat 'em nice; that's all they
want" was the philosophy the vet
eran Snowman uttered as he patted
his new friends and put them in his
car to take them away.

FINE LEWIS IN
ILLINOIS COURT
Assessed $500 Penalty for
Alleged Contempt.

John L. Lewis of indianapolis,
president of the United Mine Work
ers of America, with headquarters
here, was fined $500 for contempt Of
court by Judge Charles G. Briggle
in court at Springfield, Ill, today.
Appeal of the fine by Lewis was
looked upon as certain by officials
of the union here. Lewis was in
Springfield where, with fourteen as
sociated officers and organizers of
the union, he faced the contempt OF
court citation.
The fourteen others accused were
held guilty of contempt of court,
but were not fined or sentenced to
jail.
Lewis fine was fixed after Judge
Briggle upheld Master -Chancery
Frank L. Trutter finding that Lewis
and his associates were guilty OF
violating an injunction restraining
them from interference with the
'reorganized" anti-Lewis union Of
mine workers.
Trutter had recommended none of
the defendants be punished holding
the contempt was technical.
The contempt charges grew out
of organization work by the Lewis
union in Illinois where an organiza-
ton dubbed q trump union" by
Lewis was formed at a convention
at Springfield several months ago.
Previously Illinois supporters of
Harry Fishwick of Illinois and
Alexander Howatt of Kansas had
seeded from the Lewis union when
Lewis claimed wholesale frauds on
the part of Illinois leaders.

fenced in Allen circuit court to one

sidering weather conditions and
prevalence of factory employees re-
turning home from work. The SUI

viction, but commitment papers

ping an automobile in which he and

that the agents had fired upon the

Woodcock last week.
The incident occurred on the

his wife were riding along a Mary

said the car contained no liquor and
complained of rough treatment by
the two agents.

SUIT LAUNCHES
FIGHT TO HALT
CONCRETE JOBS
Asphalt Interests Act to
Enioin Project on
Shepard Street.

Campaign to halt all so-called
"two-course concrete" pavements in
the city was opened in Marion
superior court three today by
asphalt interests with the filing Of
a suit to restrain the works board
from proceeding with Shepard street
work.
Suit for injunction eliminated the
prolonged asphalt concrete paving
material feud Merle N. A. Walker,
attorney for four property owners
on the street, charged in the COM
plant that the laying Of the entire
eighr-inch pavement in one opera
ton is violation of the state paw
ing law.
City Engineer A. H. Moore said
the city specifications recently we're
revised on advice of the city legal
department to permit bidding on
the "monolithic" type, where both
the foundation and wearing sur
face are laid in practically the same
operation.
Called Modern Practice
Moore contends that the laying
of the eight-inch pavement at one
time is in accord with modern paw
ing practices, declaring that the
state paving law is obsolete. The
state highway lays one-course
pavement, Moore pointed out.
Walkers complaint alleges that
the resurfacing act can not be APP
piled to concrete streets laid in this
manner, because the wearing sur
face can not be removed, alleging
property owners finally are as
sessed for a new street job. Be-
fore the board today, Walker con-
tested legality of the boards award
ing of contract on Udell street
to the Indiana Paving Company,
low concrete bidder, before expira-
ton of a ten-day period for filing
preference of material. E. Kirk
Mckinney, board president, told
Walker that property owners gave
a waiver on the time for filing the
petition, asking that the contract
be awarded the low bidder. On adj
vice of Walker the contractor
stopped work, pending settlement OF
the case. Petitions signed by two
property owners were filed today on
Udell street for both asphaltic con-
crete and concrete paving.
Trickery Is Alleged
"On the face of it, it appears that
both petitions are properly signed
by resident property owners, but 1
am advised that some of the parties
moved in forty eight hours before to
permit them to have a voice" Walk
er said.
strictly speaking, the board had
no right to proceed before eXplra-
ton of the ten-day period. This
condition has arisen out of the &C
tivity of those selling paving mate
rails, it seems" Walker said, asking
the board to obtain legal opinion
on the matter.
1.-THE contractor should have
known the law. Let them stop
work until it is worked out legally"
commented Charles o. Britton,
board member.
Mckinney said the board was adj
vised that the realty company rep
resentatives paying 80 per cent of
costs signed the waiver and asked
that work proceed without delay.
