TRENTON, N. J., March 3d.
Il william N. Frazer, who was
scheduled to die in the electric
chair here tonight for the MUIR
der Of Mrs. Phoebe Stader, with
whose body he rode through four
states last March, has been granted
a forty eight hour reprieve by
Governor A. Harry Moore.
Governor Moore's action at the
request of Prosecutor Abe j. Da-
vid of Union county. New Jersey,
came while Edward S. Greenbaum
of New York City, counsel for war
veteran friends of the condemned
man, was applying to Federal
Z Judge William Clark, in Prince
ton. for a habeas corpus writ.
The veterans contended Frazer
was tried illegally in New Jersey
for crime they claim was COM
mitted in New York.
Frazer was convicted on charges
of Staying Mrs. Stader when tried
in an Elizabeth IN. j. court.
According to police, he con-
fessed killing Mrs. Stader with a
.22-caliber rifle and then driving
with her body through four states
and the District of Columbia be-
fore he finally abandoned it near

KIRKLAND TRIAL
JUDGE TO FACE
BALLOT BATTLE
Criticism of Sentence StirS
Strong Candidates to
Enter Race.
By United Press

By United Press
VALPARAISO, Ind. March 3d.
The widely publicized Virgil Kirk
land trials and the comparatively
light sentence melted the Gary
youth have resulted in rush of
candidates for Judge Grant Crum-
packers bench in Porter circuit
court.
Two Republicans and two Dem
ocrats already have announced their
intention of opposing Judge Crum-
packer. Three have strong political
records.
Political observers here say the
unusually large number of can
didates comes as protest against
the one to ten-year reformatory
sentence imposed by Judge Crum-
packer on Kirkland when he was
convicted on a charge in connection
with the death of Arlene braves, his
sweetheart.
In previous trial, Kirkland was
/ 4OLhAO 6bAAby Va Al % ACEICC UluIQ6T
and had been sentenced to life i'm
priSonment.
The new trial was granted by
Judge Crumpacker.
Observers point out that, in con-
trast with the present situation,
when Judge Crumpacker was elected
six years ago, he was accorded the
nomination and election without
opposition.
A few weeks ago Judge Crum-
packer printed a series of articles
in The Valparaiso Vidette- Messenger
in which he explained his actions in
the second Kirkland trial. His
present candidacy, he says, is to
seek public appreciation of his de-
ciSion in the Kirkland case.
The other candidates are Ira c..
Tilton, for years a leader of Por-
ter county Democrats; E. w. Agar,
former mayor; Charles E. Jensen,
former county prosecutor, and Pro-
lessor Virgil Berry of Valparaiso
university law school.

V Honolulu Hop to Haze Bearing ON AiSea Commerce

BIZ MA Ser-ice
VXTHEN the navy's big new
w dirigible Akron sails away
from its New Jersey home port at
Lakehurst in the middle of April
on a cruise to San Diego and per-
haps Hawaii, it will carry with it
in addition to a crew Of husky
and competent young sailors-the
hopes Of American hackers Of
commercial transoceanic dirigible
service.
Already bills have been intro
duced in congress to provide gov
eminent assistance for such lines.
This would be done by applying
existing laws governing steam
ship operations to aircraft.
No direct government subsidies
would be involved, but the airships
would be allowed to receive con-
tracts for carrying mail, which
would make their operation COM
mercially profitable.
It is believed here that congress
sional approval Of these measures
well may depend largely on the
Akron's performance during its
coming Pacific flight.
TWO corporations already have
\ been formed to develop pas
senger airship lines. In each CT
them the Goodyear Zeppelin firm,
builder of the Akron, plays a
prominent part.
One corporation, the Interna-
tional Zeppelin Transport Cor
poration, takes the Atlantic for
its field.
Associated with the Goodyear
Zeppelin in it are such banking
firms as the National City Com
pany, Lehman Brothers and G.
Mp. Murphy, and such industrial
groups as the Aluminium Company
of America and Carbide and
Chemicals Corporation.
Studies carried forward by this
corporation indicate that service
could be instituted from Wash
ington to Paris on a two and one
half day schedule, with three and
one-half days allowed for the re-
turn trip.
Flights could be made on sched-
ule, it is believed, 80 per cent of
the time, and the line could get
all the business it could handle If
it could win only per cent of the
existing de luxe passenger steam
ship traffic.
II
THE Pacific-zeppelin Transport
4 Corporation has the Pacific as
its field. 1t includes the firms
grouped in the Atlantic venture,
and in addition the four Ameri-
can-owned steamship lines oper-
ating over the Pacific and several

California and Hawaii banking
groups.
1t has studied the possibility of
establishing service from Califor-
MIA to Hawaii and Manila.
The trip to Hawaii could be
made, it is said, in thirty-S hours
and the trip to Manila in six days.
Already the Goodyear Zeppelin
engineers have drawn plans for
ships to be used on these routes.
Such ships would be nearly
twice the size of the Akron. The
Akron is 785 feet long and has a
cubic-foot capacity of 100000.
The projected ships would be
substantially longer and would
have between 100000 eand H.
100000 cubic foot CAPACITY.
They would be able to carry ap-
proximately 100 passengers each
and many tons of mail, and would
be fitted deliberately to give their
passengers complete comfort.
Eventually, it is said, airShips
of 100000 cubic foot capacity
will be built. But at present there
are not anywhere in the world
docking facilities that would &C
commodate such aerial giants.

RATE PETITION
ACTION VIEWED
insult VICTORY
Utility Plea Assigned to
CuthbertSon, Advocate
of Power Loop.

Another victory for the insult in
terests was scored with the public
service commission today when
Chairman John w. McCardle an
nounced he has assigned the North
ern Indiana Power Company rate
petition to Commissioner Harry K.
Cuthbertson.
The petition asks creation of
central Indiana power loop, with
standardized rates, such as the long
fought for south system"
Cuthbertson has been an ardent
advocate Of the power loop plan
since he became a commissioner. He
finally obtained approval of the
south system set-up under the guise
OF rate reduction.
Written by Singleton
Should the central power loon be
given recognition, it will mean that
the commission stand in the Mar
tinsville case, which makes the CITY
and not the electric utility district
the unit for rate making, but a
theoretical matter.
Commissioner Frank Singleton
wrote the Martinsville order and if
was upheld in federal court when
three judges put their o. K. on the
flndings Of the masters report. IN
sui since has appealed the case to
the United States supreme court.
Singleton has many petitions for
rate reductions in the district
covered by the Northern Indiana
Power Company, which were filed
by citizens seeking relief. 1t was
supposed when the company
brought in the petition it would 20
TO Singleton to be combined with
the rate payers petitions.
Not Loop Advocate
But Singleton is not a power loop
plan advocate.
Under this theory, the whole
property Of the company in use in
supplying electric service to a dis
trict must be used in making rates
which would be standardized
throughout the territory. The latest
insult petition hints that such
standardization will mean increas-
ing rates, as their present revenues
are insufficient.
The Northern Indiana Power
Company supplies 1876 communities
and rural areas in central Indiana.
Among the larger towns are Ko-
komo, Huntington, Noblesville,
Rochester, Wabash. Clinton. Mar
tinsville, Sullivan, Jasonville, Green
castle and Attica.

Action to Determine whether State

Test suit to determine whether
money collected under the chain
store tax law shall be paid to state
aid schools of Indiana was filed in
superior court two late Tuesday by
William H. Gentrup, Madison town
ship trustee, Jefferson county.
Floyd E. Williamson, state audi
tor, who has announced he will not
pay funds without a court order, is
defendant in the suit.
The store tax law of 1929 provided
that amounts collected by the close

1881 should be paid to the schools.
No tax was collected until the 1881
