DISTILLERS MAY
MOVE TO STATE
Two Large Whisky Plants
Considering Coming
From Kentucky.

Two of the largest whisky distil-
leries in Kentucky are considering
removal to Indiana because Of the
Kentucky state constitutional re-
Striction on sale of whisky for
beverage purposes should the
eighteenth amendment be repealed.
This was revealed today by Attor-
General Philip Lutz Jr., who
conferred with counsel for the con-
Germs and Paul Fry, state excise
director.
Fry pointed out that the Indiana
liquor control law is as rigid as the
Kentucky constitutional restriction,
but can be remedied more easily
A special session Of the legislature
would be needed to make the
change, however, Lutz pointed out.
Those attending the conference in
Fry's Office we're L N. Savage, Rock
port, Ind, representing the Glen
more distillery a Owensboro, KY,
and G. B. Carroll, Louisville, KY,
representing the Frankfort distill-
cry at Frankfort, KY.
Savage said the greensboro COM
pany might move to Rockport, and
Carroll was considering a move to
Jeffersonville for the Frankfort
concern.
The latter now manufactures and
distributes one-ffth of the medici-
nal whisky in the United States, he
said. But the Kentucky Constitu-
ton prevents any sale for other
than medicinal purposes. Similar
restrictions are in the Indiana law.
Should the plants be brought here
it would mean about 100000 in
new taxable properties and around
100000 in excise taxes annually, it
was said

flanked by the planes of Captains
Disco and Questo, took off first, and
circled over the airport waiting for
the rest of the planes to rise.

At 9:49 a. m, eighteen planes
were in the air.
The last of the planes left the
water at 1907, f1fty-three minutes
after Balbo started.

This heroism of the sea was de-
scribed tersely in the messages the
master of the Gulfgem handed his
wireless operator while he directed
the movement of lifeboats across a
rough sea lighted by the Petrols
flaming hulk Friday night.
Finally when at 11:30 p. m. the
Petrol blazing from foremost to
poop, plunged to the bottom, the
Gulfgem saluted her master with
a series of blasts from her horn. and
proceeded toward Charleston, S. c.
where she will land the survivors to-
night or Sunday.
One of the men who died with
Captain Sears was George Binnin-
ger. The others name was not
known.
Life Boats Picked Up
The series of messages from the
Gulfgem was picked up by Radio
marines Tuckerton IN. j. station
The Gulfgem, bound from Port
Arthur, Tex, to New York with
cargo of crude oil, came upon the
Petrol her middle quarters ablaze,
approximately $50 miles due east of
Wilmington, Della. The tanker Tri-
Mountain arrived at about the same
time.
The Gulfgem, loaded with an in
f1ammable cargo, did not dare APP
proach too closely. She picked up
lifeboat containing sixteen men.
The sea was mounting and the
Petrol was settling slowly as the fire
ate away her sides.
In the intense light of her blazing
cargo of crude oil, about sixteen
men could be seen huddled to-
gether on the bow, the only part of
the ship not af1ame.
Captain Sticks to Post
The Gulfgem lowered a life boat
that approached the Petrol bow,
and a half hour later pulled away
with ten of the doomed tankers
crew. 1t landed them on the Gulf
gem and returned for the others.
Eight more men were taken off.
Captain Sears and two men re-

33-CAR LIMIT
FOR 5OO-MILE
RACE ORDERED
Drastic Change Is Made to
Prevent Accidents on
Indianapolis Track.
DRIVER JURY NAMED
Stock Autos Only Plan Is
Voted Down by Board
at Detroit.

The field in the 1884 Indianapolis
500-mile race at the Motor Speed
way will be limited to thirty-three
cars, the result of a drastic rule
change agreed on late Thursday by
the contest board of the American
Automobile Association meeting at
Detroit.
Forty-two racing cars started in
the speed event here last Memorial
day and the change was agreed on
in a desperate effort to reduce the
accident hazard in the race.
The proposal of Colonel E. V.
(Eddie) Rickenbacker, president of
the Speedway Corporation, to limit
the field in 1884 to stock cars only
was turned down fatty by the con-
test board, The Times learned today
from authoritative sources.
Empty Field Feared
The contest board, it is under
stood, feared that an empty field"
would be the result of such a drastic
step. The rulers of the speed sport
are said to feel that most of the
large automobile manufacturers
will not take part in the race under
any circumstances. The manu-
facturers, engineers say, believe
their costly investments would be
periled by racing luck"
More rigid inspection Of appli-
cants for entry trials was recon-
mended to the Indianapolis Speed
way by the board, additional re-
ports from Detroit said.
A committee representing the
contest board, the drivers, and the
Speedway was selected as a jury to
pass upon the qualifications and
abilities of the drivers and the
eligibility of their automobiles be-
fore the qualifying trials start.
Time Trials Are Same
The committee is comprised of
T. E. Myers, vice president and
general manager of the Speedway;
Charles Merz, Lee Oldfield, and
Louis Schwitzer, all Indianapolis
automotive engineers, who are
members of the contest board, and
Leon Duray and Harry Hartz of
Los Angeles, and Dave Evans of
Columbus, Ind, racing drivers.
The qualification tests for the
500-mile race will remain the same
as last year, minimum speed of
100 miles an hour being required
| for a distance of twenty-five miles.
The thirty-three fastest cars will
! be allowed to start.
The forty-tWo-car limit for the
500-mile race was put into effect
three years ago and it's withdrawal
now is seen as evidence of the rules
failure.
Too Much Traffic Blamed
The five fatalities in the 1885 race
were attributed to too much traf-
f1c" by Colonel Rickenbacker, who
said at Detroit that the new rule
will tend to promote safety.
Fuel tanks, it was agreed at the
meeting, will remain with a fifteen
gallon total capacity, the same as
last year, with an oil tank capacity
of six and half gallons, also the
same as last year.
