still were whizzing through the
street. A fourth was arrested.
Returning from a garden party
Sheriff Thomas B. Bash heard the
roar of guns. He saw man, running
on the sidewalk, exchanging gun
fire with three others in an automo-
bile. Selling the riot gun always in
his car, the sheriff shot to death two
occupants OF the automobile and
captured the third.

said was not yet positive, named the
victims as:
Ferris Antoine or Tony Anthem

known as Sam Hogg, driver of the
death car, and Gus FaSoni, known

Machado sent to congress shortly
afternoon today his formal request
for a leave of absence from the
presidency. 1t was announced that
War Minister Alberta Herrera would
succeed him as president ad interim.
President Machado left the palace
shortly before noon for his ranch,
accompanied by two truckloads of
soldiers with machine guns.
Mob Cheers Revolving Army
The looting came while American
Ambassador Summer Welles and
anti-Machado army and civilian
leaders sought a compromise on a
successor to Machado.
Ambassador Welles was forced to
overcome bitter army opposition to
the selection of Secretary Herrera

aids were defaced. Books, silver

all places, except where it is
sold at retail for consumption
off the premises. There the
bottled beer rule still will pre-
vail.
In a formal opinion accompany
ing the draught beer authorization,
Governor McNutt set out these three
reasons for his new stand.
People want II. II written now.
the Indiana law would provide IL.
Lower courts have held it legal.
Held Legal in Opinion
This legality was passed on at
length in the attorney generals
opinion In five closely typewriter
pages dealing with the beer Law. IL
concludes that the restriction TO bot
ties applies only to sales made in
grocery stores and such places where
the beer is not consumed.
Fry's ruling sets out that 10 may
be sold in all other places on
draught. but it must be bought in
kegs casks. barrels or other con-
tainers" through the established
trade channels
This means that the barrel beer,
like the bottled beer. must come
through breweries. importers. and
wholesalers licensed under the In
diana law.
Breweries and importers still are
charged with the tax collection OF
5 cents a gallon.
Expense Is Avoided
Growing demand for draught
beer, particularly in border cities
where it could be had by crossing
the stHe line. caused it to be sold
by ignoring these trade channels.
The state collected no tax on IL.
Todays ruling also eliminates the
expense Of a special session Of the
Legislature to change the law, ii was
pointed out
Governor McNutt's statement on
icEdllIdllOn lOllOWS.
Indiana was the first state in the
Union to provide for return Of beer,
anticipating the passage by the fed
eral congress Of the Collier act
which permitted the manufacture
and sale OF 80 beer. No one could
foresee at that time what the public
reception would be to the return OF
legalized beer after fifteen years Of
prohibition.
Like Leap in Dark
1T was like leap in the dark and
/ know that many legislators shared
with me feeling that a too sudden
resumption Of the traffic. without
adequate restrictions. might create a
situation which would endanger the
repeal Of the eighteenth amendment.
which, after all. was the ultimate
end 10 be achieved
For that reason the legislature
proceeded cautiously in drafting the
regulatory act under Which beer was
made available 10 Indiana on the
day the federal bans we're lifted on
April 7.
From that day 10 this Indiana.
through the system set up by the
legislature, has enjoyed an adequate
supply of beer and az prices on a
parity with other states and in many
instances even lower.
Revenue Is Provided
