the proposal to name an assistant states attorney for his office. MT Lewis agrees that additional help Is needed to dispose of the many cases sent to the states attorneys office.
 Speculation was rife again today as the probable appointee. If Attor- |ney Patrick J. Healey is eventually named prosecuting attorney of the court of common pleas, there will be a realignment of candidates. Many new names are being mentioned. But it all depends on "ifs".

Judge Finn's Position.

II
 Hartford, May 15-Up to o'clock
 sion for Judge Edward J. Finn of the court of common pleas of Wa terbury had not reached the office of Governor Wilbur l.. Cross for his
 signature. Consequently the date
 of Judge Finn taking office remains
 an unsettled question.
 Capitol Hill buzzed with rumors to-day concerning a plan on the part of the republicans to keep the commission tucked away in the sec-
 retary of states office until Cover nor Cross has either signed or vetoed the ripper bills' passed in the gen. eral assembly at the request of Prosecuting Attorney William J..
 Larkin of Waterbury. The gover-
 nor has until Tuesday to sign a bill,
 which will insure Attorney Larkin of another term as prosecutor. His excellency has until Wednesday to sign a measure that will give Clerk William M. Gillette and his assistant Mrs Jeannie Root, another lease on their respective positions.
 Sensing another display of "cheap,
 selfish politics." it was learned to-
 day that Governor Cross is going to demand that the commission be sur rendered to him at once. If the secretary of state through the chi-
 canery of some Of the republican
 workers failed to present the "en-
 grossed diploma" it is understood
 that the governor will sign a type-
 written copy of the official bill,
 which, according to many legal
 minds here, will be just as binding as the beautifully inscribed" com
 mission.
 If the governor wins his point,
 Judge Finn will name the prosecut-
 ing attorney and clerk of the court
 of common pleas. If the republi- cans succeed in withholding the
 commission until the expiration of
 time makes the ripper bills" laws then Prosecuting Attorney Larkin, who worked feverishly here to-day
 among representatives and senators,
 will have gained his point and will
 retain his position. Waterbury re- publicans are reported amazed at the selfishness of the measure and the unusual cheapness of the efforts
 to make such measure lawful.

Br07Cn Eyes Lose Suit
for Blue Eyes Fortune
Judge Decides Against
Mans Claim as Heir
to Estate.
By United Press

bB Cnftcd Press
CHICAGO, March 20.-Mendel's
laws Of inheritance, introduced in an
effort to prove blue-eyed parents
could not have brown-eyed children
suffered legal, if not theoretical
death today after Judge Michael
Feinberg ruled that Mendelian law
might hold in the study of plants,
but never in the case of humans.
The controversial question which
recently moved blue-eyed parents
throughout the country to defend
their brown-eyed children against
the stigma of illegitinacy was set
tied by Judge Feinberg in his rul-
ing that brown-eyed George Adair
Longley of GAINESVILLE; Wis, is not the
son of blue-eyed George w. Longley,
late Chicago hat manufacturer, who
left a 100000 estate.
Discards MendePs Theory
Judge Feinberg, although his rul-
ing seemed to favor the Mendelian
theory that "like begets like" en-
phasized that he had discarded the
findings of Mendel, Austrian monk,
before making the decision which
eliminated the younger Longley as
an heir to the estate.
81 am surprised" Judge Feinberg
said, ito find that men of high sci
entific standing would appear in my
courtroom and eXpound such a
theory.
Tn my opinion there is no GER
tain characteristic in heredity, and
nothing whatsoever to the eye the
DRY. Mendel's laws have not been
scientifically established and never
could apply to the human race"
1t was pointed out that the Aus
TRAN scientist had evolved his
theories of inheritance from studies
of plants, and that none of his OBJ
servations we're made from studies
Of human beings.
Loses Suit for Million
George Adair Longley had con-
tended that he was the son of the
Elder Longley by his first wife. !
This was denied by Mrs. Mary
Caroline Longley. third wife of the
manufacturer and present bene-
f1ciary of the estate, who claimed
tn younger Longley was the broth
er of her husbands first wife.
Judge Feinberg, in his decision,
said he was satisfied that the
younger man was the son of the
first Mrs. Longley, but that the
evidence did not show the manu-
facturer was his father.

BALTzELL CURBS
ASSOCIATION OF.
BUSINESS men
Federal Judge Joins Attack
on Activities of Organ
ization.

Reprimand of Federal Judge Rob-
ert G. Baltzell against promoters Of
the Indiana Business Mems ASSo-
citation today curbed activities of
the group which has been the tar
get of business men, attorneys and
/ the indianapolis Better Business
Bureau for several months.
Baltzell rebuked Edwin c. Boswell,
attorney, and counsel for the or
ganization and as a result of the
conference, Boswell has resigned
the post.
The organization cropped up in
Indianapolis in October and COM
plants from small business men led
The Times to expose activities of
the group. Solicitors, it was charged
were using the names of judges to
obtain advertisements for the Com
mercial Guide and Reference Man
ual," and limited that, as a member
of the association, advertisers would
receive immunity in courts.
Grand Jury to Investigate
Baltzell and George r. Jeffrey,
district attorney, opened an inves-
tigation Of the association after sew
eral calls had been received in
Baltzell's Office from persons who
wanted to know when Baltzell was
coming over for that advertising"
1t is understood that solicitors. in
phone conversations, had slurred
their pronunciation of BoswelIs
name and had called him judge.
Prospective advertisers apparently
had understood the name to be
Judge BaltZell."
Meanwhile, steps are being taken
that may place the information be-
fore the Marion county grand jury
for investigation. A previous effort
to interest county officials failed.
Collins Involved
In his conference with Baltzell,
Boswell denied any knowledge of the
alleged soliciting under his name.
T. M. Overly. manager Of the
Better Business Bureau, who attend
ed the conference, has numerous
complaints from persons who said
they were solicited. In several in
stances, barred previously by The
Times, solicitors were said to have
stated that Boswell had been a
county judge for twenty years.
Former Judge James A. Collins
became involved in the association S
solicitations shortly before he retired
from the criminal court bench. He
was informed that his name had
been used and was prepared to take
action at the time he left office.
Presidents Resign
Thomas c. Whallon was first
president of the association, but re-
signed when The Times revealed al
legged activities of A. G. and Henry
Fryer, promoting the proposition.
James D. Errnston then took over
the presidency, but resigned shortly
afterward and Boswell, as legal
counsel, became acting head of the
association.
Boswell, following his resignation,
said he had Withdrawn Immediately
after he learned my connection
with the association had caused
Judge BaltzeI embarrassment and
annoyance"
He stated his belief that the or
ganization is worthwhile" and he
has no knowledge of high pressure
tactics by solicitors
He said. however, he will continue
as counsel for members of the asso-
citation who call upon him.

Do Just These TwO Simple Thmgs-Fat MeLts Away

Here is a quick and easy way to
take of a pound a day-four to
seven pounds every week!-with
never a hungry moment. A way
any doctor will tell you is safe and
sure.
This is what you do: Take a tea
spoonful ordinary Jad Salts in glass
of water half hour before breakfast
every morning. This reduces
moisture weight instantly. Also
cleanses your system of the waste
matter and excess toxins that most
fat people have, and banishes
puff ness and bloat.
Then do this about eating. FILL
YOUR STOMACH-eat your fiu-of
lean meats, vegetables like spinach,
caulif1ower. cabbage, tomatoes. etc.,
and lots of salads. Eat lot. Eat
all you can hold. Don't go hungry a
minute. Cut doan butter. sweets
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1931-03-20

and desserts, bread. Eat any 1rult
except bananas, for dessert.
That's all you do. Fat seems to
melt away. The coarse lines Of over
weight give way to the refined ones
of slenderneSs. You lose as much as
a pound day. You feel better than
for years. For in this treatment
you achieve two important results.
The Jad Salts clear your system of
toxins. sThe diet takes of fat with
food that turns to energy instead
of weight.
If you're tired of being embar-
raised by fat, try this way. You'll
be glad that you did. You can get
Jad Salts at any drug store.
Mote particularly-the salts are
urged purely as a poison banishing
agent-not as a reducing. The
change in food does the work.-Ad-
vertisement. .-----

HIGH COST OF
LIVING PINCHES
BRITAIN'S KING
Income Is s2,660,o00 a
Year, but He Gets but
$4,000 Of II.
BY WALLACE CARROLL
United Press star Correspondent

LONDON. March 2O,--Hard times
have pinched the purse Of King
George and Queen Mary, compelling
them to resort to economy meas
ures like the humblest Of their SUBJ
1ects.
King George has an annual in
come of S2660,00 When all official
expenses have been met. however
the king barely has $4,000 a year
left for the personal use Of the royal
family.
The kings salary, or civil list, as
1t is called, was fixed in 1901, when
nobody foresaw World war which
would double the cost of living.
In the meantime, salaries of the
many royal servants and the run
ming expenses Of the kings palaces
and residences have grown enor-
mously.
Most Underpaid Monarch
Persons close to the royal family
assert King George is the worlds
most underpaid monarch.
They point out that the king Of
Italy receives a much larger salary
$4,000 900 lire or $4,000.
The emperor of Japan has an in
come of 100000 yen, or $2,250,0O
The late car Of Russia received
$2O,000,o00 and the ex-kaiser $780,
600.
King George receives $2.350,0o0
from the civil list and $4,000 from
the revenues of the ducty of Lam
caster
From the civil list he appropriates
1929, 900 to pay the salaries of the
royal household. Another $965,000
is set aside to pay the expenses of
the royal household.
A further sum of 100000 is al
lotted for the maintenance of the
royal residences.
Charitable projects known as the
royal bounty" claim $4,000, while
$4,000 is "unappropriated,"
Budgets Show Deficit
This leaves only .$55O,OOO for the
kings 'privy purse" from which
many heavy expenses must be met.
The increase in the cost of living
after the war bore heavily on the
royal finances. In spite Of cutting
down expenses the accounts showed
a deficit of $4,000 in 1919, $225,0
in 1920 and $685., 900 in 1921.
Up to the middle of 1921, King
George met these deficits out of
reserve fund which he had created
for such an emergency.
After that his only recourse was
to draw OH his capital, since it was
considered impossible to ask the
hard-hit British taxpayer for
raise in pay"
Accordingly, the duchy Of Lam
caster bill was passed by the house
Of commons. This enabled the
duchy-in other words, the king-to
realize capital to the extent Of $780,
600 and to use the proceeds as rev.
enue.
Cut Domestic Expenses
Thereafter the king and queen
made ends meet by drastic personal
economies and by maintaining the
royal residences as inexpensiveIy as
possible.
Recently, however, they met in
creased difficulties in balancing
their budget Accordingly the
queen ordered further domestic
economies, and contrived to reduce
the running expenses of Bucking-
ham palace by $3.50 a week-about
$4,000 year.
King George must support
small army OF relatives from his
personal funds. The leading men,
bers of the royal family are pro-
vided for separately by the nation,
but there are $50 other relatives
who depend on the kings gen.
eroSity.

WASHINGTON, March 20.-The
