All through the rest Of his life,
those characteristics which carried
him to the near-top Of the ladder
after less than thirteen years on
the police force, placed Kinney IN
high esteem throughout the country
as a police officer and, above I'll,
a mans man.
Honesty and efficiency stand out
as his two most valued traits. He
never was bribed and never could
have been hribed. He never thought
except in clear, direct manner,
and nothing could swerve him from
his purpose when he once believed
he was right.
Men-Crooks and millionaire
conceded his honesty. There never
we're whispers. There wasn't any,
thing to whisper about.

DRY MISRULE is
LAID TO MELLON
Secretary and LoWman Hit
by Ex-AdminiStrator.
By United Press


NEW YORK, June 1O.-Major
Maurice Campbell, former prohi-
bition administrator in New York,
awaited reaction in Washington to-
day to his public announcement
that he had filed charges with Pres
ldent Hoover, alleging that Seymour
Lowman, assistant secretary of the
treasury, formerly in charge of pro-
h1bition enforcement, had been
"derelict" in duty.
His charges also included an al
legation that Andrew w. Mellon,
secretary of the treasury, "had
taken advantage of his official po-
sition to conceal facts and thus
shield a government official who
Is derelict in his Office"
The former administrator here
said he submitted eight specific
charges against LowInan more than
month ago and that the President
did not 0reply directly to him, but
turned the charges over to Secretary
Mellon.
On May IL, Major Campbell said,
Mellon wrote him, saying the
charges "are' summaries of allega-
tions contained in a series OF syndi-
Gated press articles written by you
last year." and that he had in
vestigated "the allegations and con-
illusions" in those articles and
found them at that time to be so
ill-founded as not to require an
answer on the part of this depart
ment."

Is Men in
Sub Trap
BY H. r. ELKNS

u
SHANGHAI, China, June TO-
Hope for the lives Of some or all
the eighteen men trapped in the
sunken British submarine Poseidon
of Wehaiwei was held out in dis
patches from there today.
The messages were conflicting,
however. One said that all the
men had been saved. The other
said the submarine tender Midway
had located the submarine in 40
feet of water, and that eight men
were known to be alive in it and
could be saved.
The desperate rescue efforts con-
tinued through Tuesday night. The
Poseidon sank after colliding with
the Chinese steamer Yuta.
The Davis submarine escape de-
vice being used is similar to the
"lung" equipment installed on all
American submarines.
Camping the device on nose and
mouth, a member Of an imperiled
submarine crew can leave the vessel
and ascend through the water to
the surface.

in those days, was the first man to
see the value of Kinney and his
camera to the law enforcement
agency Of the city.
"As young man, Kinney was a
very bright and capable officer, I"
QuigIey says. when the detective
department was established in 1891,
he was one Of the first men chosen
for that service.
He had a small, old-fashioned
camera and he took most of those
old pictures that still are at head
quarters. He continued to do this
work until 1885,"
=
D EALIzING the ultimate value
IN Of the pictures, Quigley brought
about the establishment Of the Ber-
tillon department. He let Kinney
stay with it a while, but decided
his shrewdnesS should be diverted
to the direction Of men. QuigIey
named Kinney superintendent Of
detectives.

1881 ACTS OF
LEGISLATURE
STAY 'TIED'UP'
Supreme Court Refuses to
Dissolve Injunction of
Circuit Tribunal.
PUBLICATION is DISTANT
Battle Over House Bill 6
to Continue; Fraud
Is Charged.

Indiana supreme court today de-
MED writ OF prohibition, diSsolv-
ing the injunction of Marion circuit
court which prevents publication of
the 1881 legislative acts.
When the work of the lawmakers
now will become statutes remains
predetermined.
In the majority opinion of the
court, written by Chief Justice
Clarence R. Martin, it is suggested
that the acts could be published
without including House Bill 6, the
cause Of the controversy, which re-
suited in the injunction suit
Martins opinion cited the ancient
maxim of law, Deceit and fraud
always should be remedied," as the
basis for refusing to grant the writ.
Filed by Ogden
Petition for the writ had been
filed with the high court by Attor-
ney- General James NJ. Ogden on
behalf of Secretary of State Frank
Mayr Jr. The latter is charged with
printing and distribution of the acts
and they are then declared in force
by proclamation Of the Governor.
Judges Julius G. Travis and David
A. Myers joined in Martins conclu-
sions, but Myers wrote a separate
opinion in which Travis joined. All
are Republicans.
Judges Walter E. Treanor and
Curtis w. Roll. Democratic men,
bers of the court, dissented and
Treanor wrote a dissenting opinion,
in which Roll joined.
The injunction suit is pending in
Marion circuit court, before Judge
Harry o. Chamberlin, who issued
the temporary restraining order
which the supreme court was asked
to dissolve.
Holds Up Publication
Attorney General Ogden expressed
the opinion that it is likely that the
acts can not be published until final
disposition of the case is made in
the lower court.
Should either side appeal, it
might mean that years would elapSe
before final decision is rendered.
The lower court suit was brought
by indianapolis and Muncie city
attorneys, and attorneys for certain
Muncie citizens. who charge fraud
was practiced in the passage of
House Bill 6. in that the bill as
signed by Governor Harry G. Leslie.
never had been approved in that
form by the senate.
Under provisions OF the measure.
the public service commission has
complete jurisdiction over all bus
and truck lines and home rule" is
abolished.
Held Duty of Court
In the dissenting opinion the
judges held that no court has iU-
risdiction in interfering with pub
1cation of the acts. judges Travis
and Myers set out that Marion
court had the right to pass on its
own powers in accepting Jurisdiction
in the injunction suit.
Martins stand is stated in his
opinion as follows:
We may grant that the courts
can not look behind the bill to the
legislative proceedings, when the. act
is lawfully and duly attested; vet
when the very fact of the attesta-
tion of the bill is alleged to be due
to fraud and mistake Of fact, or to
have been recalled, we believe that
the courts have the right and the
duty to determine such questions"
