PAR|-MUTUELS
BILL is PASSED
House Votes 54- 80 to Make
Race Betting Legal.

Legalization of betting on any
kind of racing, including the annual
500-miIe speedway classic, was voted
today by the house of represent
atives when it yassed, 81 to 80, the
Kenney pari-mutuel machine bill.
DELPHI L. McKesson of Plymouth,
Democratic floor leader, in denying
the charge the bill will increase
gaming, said
1T will not increase gambling, but
instead will give the state a share
of the profits. You can go out to
the state fair and see people betting
on the races there at any time.
Kentucky gets $4,000 900 a year from
the betting concessions and Indi-
ana needs some other source of in
come"
The Henney bill provides pari-
mutuel betting on all types of rae
ing where an automobile race is
held within twenty-five miles of a
city having population of 100000.
If there is gambling, the license fee
shall be $4,000 a day. This would
bring the speedway race within the
purview of the bill.
If the race is held. near cities hav-
ing less than 100000 population, the
license fee shall be 81, 500 a day.
1t imposes a 10 per cent tax on
admissions and permits tire racing
association or corporation to retain
8 per cent of the total receipts from
the betting.
If there is no gambling at the
races, according to Kenney, the Ii
Cense fee can not be imposed.

LAID TO POLITICS
Chicago Board of Trade
LaSheS at Tactics of
u. S. Commission.

By United Press
CHICAGO, July 26.-President
Peter B. Carey of the Chicago
Board of Trade replied today to an
attack by the three members of the
grain futures commission with the
charge that the commission was
playing politics.
The futures commission, Agri-
culture Secretary Arthur M. Hyde;
Commerce Secretary Robert P. La
mont and Attorney-Ge william
D. Mitchell accused Carey of issuing
statement calculated to mislead
the public as to the situation"
Charges Called False
The commission cited Carey's
statement that "chaos" would result
from the commission order suspend
i-~g the board for sixty days because
it refused to allow clearing privileges
to the Farmers National Grain
Corporation, a federal farm board
subsidiary.
Carey, sharply insistent that the
commissions charges are utterly
false" characterized the move as an
attempt to transfer to the board of
trade any blame for the commits
sion's order, suspending the ex-
change.
THE grain futures commission
ordered us to close" said Carey
Nov with every sign of panic, the
commission, it appears, wants the
public to believe it was only joking
We took the order seriously we con-
tinue to take it so and will fight
against it."
Wheat Prices Squirt
He said that co-operativeS have
held membership on the exchange
for many years without squabbles
similar to those of the federally
subsidized Farmers National
Wheat prices spurted IL to Us
cents higher today, and at the close
were the highest since July ID.
Buyers ignored the dispute be-
tween the Board of Trade and the
farmers national, and needed re-

BONE DRY LAW
REPEAL SHIFTS
INTO senate
House Votes Down Wright
Act, After Bitter Debate,
So to 49,.
Lash APPLIED TO VETS
Medicinal Liquor Is Made
Lawful by Provisions
of Weiss Measure.

With half the battle won, liberal
members of the general assembly
today prepared to push through
the senate the Weiss bill for repeal
of the Wright bone dry law.
Following more than two weeks of
delay and amending, the house
passed the repeater and substitution
bill late Monday by vote of So to
SO, while Frank E. Wright. author
of the 1925 bone dry law, leaned
against a post and saw the first
step taken to wipe away his claim
to notoriety.
Senate vets conferred today on
their course of action.
A duplicate of the Weiss bill was
introduced last week in the senate
by Senator Earl Rowley CRep), La
Porte. The bill was consigned to
committee, where it has been kept
by Rowley, pending house action on
the repeater.
Called Drunk Bill
The repeater, characterized as the
Jake Weiss 81 drunk bill" by Rep
resentatiye Thad S. Adams (Rep),
Danville, during his opening
speech in the house debate, reduced
all penalties in the Wright law ex-
cept that applying to drunken driy-
ing.
Transportation Of liquor upon the
person, but not by vehicle, is per-
mitted by the repeater. 1t also pro-
vides for the sale of medicinal Ii
quor by registered pharmacists
and others authorized by the fed
eral government; imposes a tax of
so cents a pint upon liquor sold in
this manner, and fixes an annual
license fee for liquor wholesalers of
$25 and of retailers at IS.
The Weiss bill does away with the
obnoxious "hearsay" search warrant
and provides that basis for such
writ must be one of personal
knowledge
It permits possession of liquor for
personal use and reduces fee of the
prosecutor, upon conviction of any
persons under the law, from SIS to
SIS.

It was the race car which made
Fred Duesenberg famous-and
not Fred Duesenberg who made
the race car famous. That was
the attitude of the short, broad
shouldered smiling man who stood
on the pit wall at the Speedway,
year in and year out, with a stop
watch in his hand and an eye
on his" car.
A HUNDRED stories could be
N told about Mr.. Duesenberg
and his race cars, but none can
tell more fifty of the man than
the one of the 500mile race at
Indianapolis this year.
His son, Denny" had entered
a Duesenberg in the race. Ira
Hall of Terre Haute was the
driver.
I'm through, boys" said Fred.
LET Denny run the show. I'm
going to sit in the grandstand and
enjoy myself"
Nobody believed Fred at first.
They did race day. He was sitting
in the grandstand, fidgeting like
a lost sheep.
The race got under way. The
pace was hot and the cars were
punched. Fred bounced around
on his seat.
CUDDENLY Billy Arnold went
~ out of the race. No. 80 flashed
into the lead. 1t was Ira Hall in
the Duesenberg.
Ten laps later, Hall signaled he
was coming into the pits, and on
his next lap around he coasted
down the straightaway.
And out on the pit runway was
Fred Duesenberg. a water bucket
in his hand, and smile on his
face. And Fred was the flr5t
man to lay hands on No. 80.
While the gas tank was being
filled, Fred had one arm around
Ira's shoulders. He was giving
him the advice of an old master.
THE giant amplifiers around
Il the track doomed the an
nouncement:
Car No. 80. a Duesenberg, Ira
Hall, in the pits, three minutes for
gas, oil and water. Fred Duesen-
berg put in the water"
And from the crowd came a roll
ing roar of applause.
1t was tribute to a fighter who
couldn't stay off the firing line.
And when Fred Duesenberg, he
of the gnarled hands of the me-
chanic and the pleasant smile, is
laid to his last rest, around him
will be gathered the speed stars of
the nation, heads bowed to a
friend, a father, a master en-
gineer, and, most of all, a true
gentleman.
That was Fred Duesenberg.

GODFREY TO PROSECUTE ILLEGAL DUMPING
NOW Is THE time
TOSET OUT TREES
The City Government
Should Set the Pace
for Individuals
WORK NOT EXPENSIVE

Last winter when the frost was
in the ground and. things were not
right for planting, there was much
talk about setting out trees this
spring as memorial to George
washington, and also to beautify
yards and roadways that would be
Improved by q few trees. Now
spring Is here and you don't hear
q word about making start.
The park board or some other
department of the city government
should take this matter in hand,
otherwise nothing worth while will
come Of 1t. Many believe that q tree
planting organization should be
formed out of the unemployment
forces whose work would be con-
fined to planting trees in different
places about the city. A dozen or
more men under, q foreman who
understands this business would ac-
complish much in this line during
the next few weeks. If start IL
not made now, the season will go
by without anything being done
about tree planting on the city
streets.
All this brings up the question
Of expense. Well It IL only reason
able to believe that private citizens
would be willing to bear the cost
abutting on their own property.
