a brawl in cottage brought a sher-

to the scene OF what earlier in the

dinner.
Of the twenty couples who had
inaugurated the party, only three
men remained. Edwin Dunbar, 43,
Of 1882 Park avenue, with eyes
blackened and head battered, was
charged with drunkenness and ma

Basil Gaumer, 46, new town marshal

Throughout two cottages the bat
tie had ragged, Dunbar said, after
some one hit him on the head with
an empty bottle hurled through a

windows smashed; empty bottles,
broken and whole, Uttered the

SUPREME COURT s.
HOPPER TURNING
AT SAME SPEED
Changed Personnel Has Not
Spurred Faster Rulings,
Report Shows.
By Times Specinl

By Times Special
LAFAYETTE, Ind. July e.-De~
spite the shift in personnel, due to
election Of two Democratic judges,
Indiana's supreme court continues
to function with about the sans.
speed-or lack of it-as last year.
This was disclosed by Chief JUS
tice Clarence R. Martin in address,
ing the Indiana State Bar Associa-
tons midsummer meeting hero
today. 1t has become an annual
custom Of the judge to present fig
ures to show how the high court
is getting along with its work.
The damned docket remains
jammed, his new tabulation re-
vealed, but he predicted a hope for
the future speeding up Of decisions
Even fewer cases were decided than
last session, but fewer were coma
pletely briefed so the docket kept
even, his report showed.
Important Rulings Made
"An unusual number of cases in-
volving important and novel ques-
tions were decided" Judge Martin
declared. "This seems to be con-
flrmed by the fact that in the six
volumes of the American Law Re-
ports, published during the last
year, twelve Indiana cases were
published and annotated. This is
more than were published in the
proceeding sixteen volumes over a
period Of three years.
Number of cases appealed in
creased from 1913 last year to I42,
but the number which reached the
court fully briefed and ready for
decision decreased from So to 65." j
A tabulation was read by the
judge showing that 191 cases are
pending now as against 179 in july,
1880, and 1872 in 1929. This totaT
does not include the petitions to
transfer from the appellate court
which bring the grand total now to
306.
Average Age III Years
Analysis of dates when cases were.
July pIleIed gave the average age
of appeals under 215 years.
THE members of the court real
ize the Importance of disposing of
these older cases and will increaS-
ingly devote more time to them"
Judge Martin declared.
Judge Noel c. Neal, chief iudgs
OF the appellate court, presented a
report on that courts docket.
Frank N. Richman, Columbus, pre-
sided.
Prominent leaders Of the bar are
on the program today and Friday.
Medals will be presented Friday to

school, Indianapolis, and Miss Ruth
Bridges, Danville, winners, respec-
lively of the state oratorical and
essay contests sponsored by the bar
association. -

banquet Friday night.

Saddened Troop Mates
Pay Last Tribute at
'Ernie'S' Funeral.

By United Press
CHICAGO, July 9.-"Ernie,"
~ who trundled himself in a
wheel chair to the topmost heights
of Boy Scout achievement, was
buried today.
His comrades in Troop No. sol
said:
Ernie was game from start to
finish"
The minister of the First Pres
byterian church, where funeral
services were held, said:
"Of his wheelchair, Ernest Stone
Jr. made a chariot that carried
him to Olympian heights"
Tears glistened in the eyes of
the scouts who crowded the
church to pay tribute to Ernie"
their idol-crippled since he was
5 years old by infantile paralysis
for the last time.
Flags were at half mast in the
troop headquarters of Chicago's
$4,000 Boy Scouts, all but nine of
whom Ernie" had outdistanced,
in his wheelchair, in the acqui-
sition of honors.
Il y
LIE won thirty eight merit
Il L badges, or seventeen more
than required to attain the high
est rank nj scoutdom-that Of
Eagle Scout. Comparatively few
Scouts able bodied ones
gain the Eagle grade.
Gee, but he was real sport"
said one of his pals. He didn't
seem to mind that he couldn't go
hiking and swimming like the
rest Of uS-he got a kick out of
just seeing us have fun, that's
the way Ernie was"
He died right" said a tanned
Scout after the funeral. I'm glad
he didn't have to suffer"
Death had come suddenly to
Ernie" He had lived life to
the brim and his weakened heart
failed to carry on.

SEARCH OLD FILES
FOR UTILITY'S SITE
Perry or Decatur?' Asks
Power and Light Co.;
Taxes Involved.

Yellowed records of meetings of
the Marion county board of COM
missioners were perused today to
determine whether Indianapolis
Power and Light Company would
save between $4,000 and $4,000 in
taxes yearly.
The records were brought out of
musty vaults at the courthouse
when attorneys for the light COM
pany told County Auditor Harry
Dunn that it was their opinion that
the new 100000 power plant in
Perry township, near White river, is
not in Perry township, but in De-
catur.
Decatur township has a tax rate
of $1.51 on 500, while Perry's rate
is $2.13.
The f1ckleness Of the White river
in changing its course in the past
100 years gives authenticity to the
plea of the power company.
The old records of county COM
missioner hearings show that all
land east of the White river was
attached by special order to Perry
township.
But in the years the rivers
course has changed so that the
present site of the power plant
places it between the old river bed
and the new bed with the result the
plant could be construed to he in
Decatur township.
The river is now the boundary
line of the townships.
Attorneys for the power company
were to appear before the county's
board of reviews this afternoon to
argue that the plant should be as
sesssed in Decatur township.

Oats Found Valuable
for LAYERS at Ohio

That oats make a valuable feed
for layers and provide something
which functions more effectively
than yellow corn has been substan-
tiated by extensive tests at the
Ohio experiment station during the
past three years. A total of 600
layers were used in the expert
ment conducted by d. c. Kennard,
in charge of poultry investigations.
The nine groups of layers which re-
ceived rations with 20 per cent of
the corn replaced by that amount
of plump oats averaged 10 per cent
better egg production while the
hatchability of the eggs and the
mortality of the birds were prac-
tically the same. The groups which
received the oats ate 10 per cent
more feed and averaged s per cent
more in monthly body weights. 1t
should be emphasized, however.
that even the oats ration carried
40 to 80 per cent yellow corn. Just
how much more of the corn could
have been replaced by oats was not
determined.
