IMPORTERS WORRIED
BY 81 BEER RULING
Kentucky Verdict Shock to
State Attorney General.

Should the Indiana supreme
court follow the Kentucky decision
and hold that 80 beer is soft
drink" the state importers will be
out of business.
That the issue is raised in the
Sam Rosen case from Lake county
and soon will be ready for decision
of the high court here was adj
mitted by Attorney General Philip
Lutz Jr.
He expressed concern over the
Kentucky decision which was
handed down Tuesday.
Il believe, however, that IN In
diana we have a right to regulate
beverage sales even if they are only
near intoxicantS," Lutz said.
His Office is fighting to uphold
the beer control law both on the
score of licensing and banning of
draught beer.

When Hoke was appointed it was

Another emergency fund expendi-

Wayne Coy, secretary to the Gov

since only about five are members

INCREASED 1 CENT
New Boost Follows Higher
Crude Oil Costs.

Price of gasoline rose another
cent gallon today. with four large
distributing firms in Indianapolis
giving higher tank car and whole
sale crude oil prices as the reason
for the advance.
With imitation becoming more
effective, large gasoline and oil
companies predicted further adj
vances in price soon. Motor oil
prices have not ~iSen.
Today's advance marked a total
rise of 2 cents in less than a week.
A half-cent boost was effective June

ton. The following day another
half-cent a gallon was added to
meet imposition Of the federal ex-

RAIL LEADERS
WILL Defer
PAY CUT PLEA
Executives Indicate They
Will Agree to Appeal
Made by Eastman.
ASK 6-M0NTH DELAY
Present 10 Per Cent Slash
Is Expected to Remain in
Effect for That Time.

x.lCopyright 1888. by United Press
WASHINGTON, June 2l.-Rail-
way executives indicated today that
they would comply with the re-
quest of President Roosevelt and
postpone their proposed 1914 per
cent wage cut for at least six
months, the United Press learned.
While Joseph B. Eastman, federal
railroad co-ordinator, met with the
railroads committee of nine to ex-
plain further the administration
plans for the steam carriers, it was
learned that he had presented d
two-sided proposition to the rail-
roads and the men who work upon
them.
In return for definite postpone
ment of the 1872 per cent reduction.
Eastman was understood to have
assured the railroad owners that
labor would agree to an extension
probably six months-of the 10 per
cent wage deduction" which went
into effect two years ago.
AXIS Delay in Action
An official of one of Americas
prominent railroads, the United
Press informant said that Eastman
talked to the railroad executives in
this manner:
Don't put your 1919 per cent pay
cut notice into effect now. You SIM
ply will be throwing a monkey
wrench into President Roosevelt's
whole reorganization program.
Postpone the notice for six
months. Give the President a
chance to put his program into
effect.
Then, if conditions are no better
or only slightly better, railroad
labor will agree to an extension of
the original 10 per cent wage re-
duction."
Plan Received FavorabIy
The committee of nine, headed by
w. F. T'hiehoff of the Chicago, Bur
lington a. Quincy, looked upon
Eastmans proposition as reasonable.
In conversations among themselves,
the railroad committeemen indicated
acceptance of the suggestion, but
they probably will make no an
nouncement for several days until
the conferences are over and all
differences have been ironed out.
The only possible hitch in the
compromise might come from the
executives of railroad labor, who
also are meeting with Eastman in
Washington
No definite word has been forth
coming from them concerning ex-
tension of the old 10 per cent de-
duction, against which they fought
so bitterly, but Eastman had no
doubt that they will agree.
Individuals among the labor men
are inclined to think, however, that
If they can stave off the threat
ened 1919 per cent reduction, they
will have accomplished a good Job
.or the brotherhoods.

NAB YOUTH IN
'BENEFACTOR
KILLING CASE
Edward Burns Suspected
of SIugging MotoriSt
Who Aided Him.
PICTURE IS IDENTIFIED
Widow Points Out Prisoner;
AIertness of Officer
Helps Capture.

Detectives today were grilling Ed
ward Burns, 81, held on $4,000 bond,
striving to obtain from him a con-
fession that he slugged and caused
the death of George Hughes, As,
Lafayette, benefactor, who paid with
his life for helping a needy man.
Hughes was injured fatally Sat-
urday night on state Road 50, near
Fiftythird street, when his car was
wrecked during an attempted rob-
berry by young man whom he was
giving a ride to Lebanon ito take
new job"
Burns was arrested Tuesday aft
ernoOn in a North Illinois street
restaurant by Detectives John
White and Charles Bauer, after Mrs.
Elizabeth Hughes, widow of the slain
man, identified a Bertillon picture
of Burns which had been in the po-
lice files.
Although White and Bauer picked
up Burns, Captain Otto Petit said
much of the credit for the arrest was
due to the efforts of patrolman
Willis Thompson, who turned in the
first information that linked Burns
to the killing.
Given Help Before
Mrs. Hughes said her husband
knew the young man who slugged
him, through having given him
small sums of money when ap-
preached near Illinois and Market
streets.
Saturday afternoon Mr.. and Mrs.
Hughes and the latter's sister, Miss
Anna Steill, 25, came from Lafay-
cite and Hughes saw the slugger
on the street.
Hughes assented readily to a re-
quest for a ride and made arrange
ments to meet the youth after Mr..
and Mrs. Hughes and Miss Steill
attended downtown theater.
Smuggling Causes Death
When the car neared Fifty-third
street on state Road So, the young
man suddenly drew a gun, accord
ing to Mrs. Hughes, and slugged
her husband. The car plunged off
the road into a utility pole. A rib
puncture of the heart killed
Hughes.
Although Burns gave police 1858
North Harding street as his address.
a pressing shop operated by A. o.
Sanderson is located there and San
derson says he does not know
Burns.
The suspects mother resides at
1858 North Harding street, Apart
ment 6, but she told police that her
son has not lived at home for some
time.
j. Elwood Jones, judge pro tenn.
in municipal court four, today con-
tinued the Burns case until Satur-
day morning, when he was in
formed that Mrs. Hughes still is suf-
fering too much from accident in
juries to appear before then.

Vets Far in Lead
BY United Press

'NopSilRHI. 1883. DIV United PreSSb
The first 100000 Americans in
fourteen states voting on prohibi-
ton gave an approximate four to
one lead to repeal, with the once
militant dry state of Iowa joining
the wet column todal.
Thirty-six states must approve the
repeal resolution.
Dry leaders, including F. Scott
Mcbride, who was reticent to COM
ment on the Iowa poll, have con-
centrated on keeping at least thir-
teen southern states in the dry COL
umn to defeat the repeal move
ment. They express confidence that
the votes next month will show the
dry strength.
But anti-prohibitionists, driving
Tor ratification by thirty-six states
this year, point to the strong margin

ty-nine delegates to the state con-
vention July 10. Election of a ma
jOrity on either side determined how
all delegates will vote at the con-
vention.
With returns completed from
seventy seven counties, forty-three
favored repeal.
A surge of late voters was the
deciding factor. After apparent
lack of interest early in the hot,
summer day, voters thronged the
polls between 5 and 8 o'clock. Re-
pealists had feared if voting was
under 100000, they would be de-
feated
The total number of ballots cast,
however, was expected to aggregate
more than 100000.
Farming sections turned in the
strongest prohibition strength. EN-
met, Jasper, and Adams counties
all opposed repeal by majorities
ranging from 400 to LOO votes.
Mississippi river towns recorded
the strongest repeal majorities, to-
gether with Des Moines. In Polk
county the repeal majority was
$4,000 to 10000; in Clinton county.
II $50 to 1903; in Dubuque county,
1921 to 1921. The little town Of
Luxembourg in Dubuque county
cast its 318 votes solidly for repeal.

Season of Heat Arrives at
3:12 P. NJ; A Long Day
of Short Shadows.

You people who have been per-
spring and muttering imprecations
at the sizzling sun the last few
days certainly ought to be ashamed
of yourselves for being such a lot
of siSsies.
Really, there hasn't been any ex-
cuse for it, because summer doesn't
start until 3:12 p. m. today. And,
not to be rude about it, but it
doesn't make any difference what
you think because that is the cold
fact about this heat business.
Take the word of j. H Arming-
ton, observer for the United States
weather bureau. The forecasting
Mr.. Arlington is authority for the
fact that summer begins officially
this afternoon and he has some
very conclusive and fascinating
proof to offer.
Shadows Are Short
incidentally, Arlington has a
suggestion for any one who hap
pens to be a shadow casting de-
voice. This, from all available rec
ords, is a little known cult, but if
there are devotees in indianapolis
they can cast their shortest pos
sible shadow this afternoon at 3:12.
The reason for this is that the
sun will be as far north as it ever
gets. For the purpose of the rec
ord, this is exactly 1914 degrees
north of the equator and is known
as the summer solstice.
Old Sol then starts his return,
and when he gets back over the
equator again in September, that
will be the autumnal equinox, or
fall, to you.
Sun Schedule Varies
He continues south 1914 degrees,
arriving at that point in December
so winter may have his inning. Then
he reverses and gets back to the
equator again to usher in spring, or
as we scientists say, the vernal
equinox
It's pretty much the same old
grind for Old Sol, but there is a
variation each year in the official
beginning of summer, because of
leap year. Last year, summer be-
gan about six hours earlier, to be
exact, at 9:23 a. m.
Since each year is approximately
one-fourth of a day longer than 365
days, summer comes six hours later
each year for four years until that
extra time is made up. Thus, Old
Sol will balance his books in 1886,
when another leap year with the
extra Feb. 20, occurs.
