CITY MAN HELD
AS GAS HAWK
Denies Striking Youth Who
Defended Two Girls.

Charged with vagrancy, Roger
Williams, IS, of 513 East Eleventh
street, was arrested today as driver
OF a "gas hawk" car, one occupant
of which seriously injured youth
who attempted to defend two girls
Thursday night.
Williams, admitting to police he
was driving the car, denied strik-
ing Virgil Jones, II, of 1910 North
Alabama street, with a wrench, but
declared his companion, whom he
said he did not know, struck Jones.
Jones suffered a broken jaw and
O severely cut cheek.
When Jones went to the aid of
Irene Harker, 16, and Adis Bunk,
IA, both of 244 East Tenth street,
as two men attempted to drag the
girls into an automobile at st.

IRON HAND OF
BRITAIN WILL
FALLON india
Vigorous Action to Check
Unrest Predicted With
Report Issuance.
GANDHI TO BE PUNISHED
Arrest Forecast for Hindu
Chief; Revolt End
Seen Near.
BIZ United Press

Bp United Press
LONDON, April 13.-Def1nite and
vigorous action by the British gov
eminent to end unrest in India be-
came nearer today, with the report
that findings of the Simon inves-
tigating commission probably will be
issued within two weeks, instead of
late next month.
First section of the Simon report,
said to have a slight pro-Indian
tinge, already is in the hands Of
the printers, and drafting of the
second section is nearly completed
Experts on colonial affairs ex-
plain that thus far the government
has met the passive resistance of
the Mahatma Gandhi with its own
policy of equally passive resist
ance, which is the reason it has
refused to accede to Gandhi'S "re-
quests to be arrested.
For the present the Indian adj
ministration is handling the situa-
ton with a velvet glove. With the
issuance of the Simon report, the
iron fist within the glove will be re-
vealed.
1t is not improbable that Gandhi
may be arrested simultaneously with
the issuance of a friendly" report,
some observers believing this would
be a master stroke, particularly if
the early fires of enthusiasm for
Gandhi's peaceful revolt have
died.
Such report, too, would take the
edge off any spectacular action, such
as taking the Mahatma to Jail.
The danger of active, open revolt,
which would have loomed large if
Gandhi had been arrested a few
days ago, is believed considerably
lessened now.
From the military standpoint,
Great Britain strongly is entrenched
in India.
The British army is stationed at
strategic points throughout the
empire, under a triangular" or
circular system, through which
three attachments of troops could
at any time converge at a central
point, wherever trouble threatened.

Clear Victory Is Seen in
Highway Ruling of
Attorney General.
BY DANIEL NJ. KIDNEY


Cement and gravel statesmen were
rejoicing today over reports of the
decision of the state highway COM
mission to follow the law" as
based on a recent opinion to Di-
rector John j. Brown of the state
highway department from the at
torney-general.
The opinion, designating the di-
vision between construction and
maintenance, was up for discussion
at the commission meeting Thurs
day and procedure decided upon.
In the opinion of the cement and
gravel interests, this follow the
law idea is a clear victory for
them. It means that A. H. Hinkle,
maintenance superintendent, will be
shorn of much power, which will
be transferred to William Titus,
chief engineer.
Titus is rated as a cement
booster. while Hinkle bears the
label of "black top"
PIeases Cement Men
According to the cement people,
Hinkle has been directing black top
construction under the guiSe of
maintenance and the bill has been
paid from construction funds.
Under the Encouragement
opinion. all construction work must
come under the construction divi-
sion of which Titus is head.
Here, cement men say, is how
Hinkle has been getting away with
It,"
He takes q State-maintained road
and grades it. eliminating the
curves, they say. Then the next
year he gives it a stone base and
by the third year black top, which
is any one of the asphalt or bitum-
inous macadam products.
When the black top is laid, the
cement men contend, Hinkle points
out that construction cost" is but
about $4,000 or $4,000 mile, as
compared with cement, which aver
ages around $4,000.
Opposed by Gravel Interests
But. they say, Hinkle has not
counted the stone base and work in
preparation, all of which is charged
against the cemented-constructed
roads.
The gravel interests are antago-
nistic to Hinkle because he uses
stone.
of course, We will have to follow
the law" Director Brown declared
today, in commenting on the discus
sion of the encouragement opin-
ion.
He did say that he thought that
the fine line between construction
and maintenance must, in the last
analysis, be drawn by the highway
commissioners.
There is some talk of a suit to
have the court decide where that
line must be drawn.
That cement stands well with the
administration was indicated when
Governor Harry G. Leslie sent the
Hoosier senators and congressman
kilograms urging defeat of the
Blease amendment permitting gov
ernmental units to import cement
tarif-free.
