TAVERN GROUP
FRAMES TEST
OF LIQUOR ACT
Organization Backing Suit
to Be Filed in Name of
City Operator.
BY JAMES DOSS
Times staff Writer

The first organized assault by the
roadhouse operators of Indiana
against THE new state liquor con-
troll law will be a test case filed in
the name of John Brim, operator
of the Old Heidelburg Tavern at
5612 w. WESTINGHOUSE it was re-
ported today.
Organization of the state road
house operators has progressed
rapidly, as was first disclosed. ex-
clusively in The Times.
Operators in all of the larger
counties and even in some of the
rural counties adjacent to Marion
County, have been asked to join
the Tavern Protective Association,
which has offices in the Railway
Exchange Building.
Law Firm Engaged
The test suit for the association,
to be filed in Mr. Brim's name, will
be filed by the law firm of Royse g.
Eggleston, Indianapolis, according to
the presentation to the roadhouse
operators by the tavern association
organizers.
Grounds for the suit will be the
allegation that the provision of the
new liquor control act, which out
laws liquor establishments now Sit
uated outside city limits, is unconsti-
tutional.
Pointing out that the cost of test
ing the new law would be prohibitive
for an Individual, the tavern asso-
citation has issued an appeal for
funds in which it declares:
Act Called Destructive
THE 1885 session of the Legis-
lature intended and attempted, not
only to destroy your business, but
to render worthless the capital you
previously invested in such bust
ness, for the purpose of selling in
toXicating liquor.
They passed a law under which
many rural beverage establishments
already have been forced out of
business, and all will be forced out
of business very soon, if this law
is permitted to stand unchallenged.
Who will challenge this law if not
yourself and others who are directly
damaged by it? The owners of tap
rooms, roadhouses and taverns out
side the corporate limits of cities
and towns who stand in serious
and immediate danger of such loss
by the operation of the liquor law
passed by the Legislature. You and
all others operating such outlawed
establishments"
Hanrahan Case Recalled
The protective association asserts
1t has been advised by Royse e. Egg
gleston that the roadhouse section
OF the law is unconstitutional.
1t further points out that the law
flrm is the same which handled the
Hanrahan case, the first test case
under the old law against sale OF
liquor by the drink.
"AS a result of this case" the as
ISOLATION points out, I'VE were per-
mitted to sell liquor by the drink
for a period of nine months in the
entire state"

SWISS COURT BANS
PROTOCOLS OF ZION
Declares Notorious Papers
Are FalSified.
By United Press

BERNIE, Switzerland, May IA
The long battle of Jewish leaders to
outlaw the notorious Protocols of
Zion" ended in victory in Switzer-
land tonight when a court verdict
declared the documents falsified.
The protocols we're documents
purporting to show that Jewish
leaders schemed to win world domi-
nation and the long Swiss trial was
an outgrowth of German Nazi cir
culation of the material.
The verdict banned the documents
in Switzerland. President M. Meyer

uments themselves, said they were

Polo Occupies Alexis

BH tHifCd Press
PARIS. May 14.-Alexis Mdivani
gave his ex-husbandly approval
today to the divorce of Barbara
Hutton Mdivani. but expressed mild
wonder as to what extreme mental
cruelty-the charge on which the
decree was granted-could be.
Alexis was leaving to play polo as
he discussed the Reno divorce. He
said he had no new romances ahead
and that his summer program was
entirely filled with polo.
For the time being I am more
interested in polo and ponies than
anything else" he said. Il am sure
I can't imagine what extreme
mental cruelty can be, though 1
know the divorce was granted on
those grounds"

AGAIN ENDANGER
FARMLANDS IN INDIANA
Heavy Rains Bring Rise in
Rivers; Crop Loss May
Be Large.
HAIL TOLL EXTENSIVE
Conditions Most Serious in
Southern Areas: Section
Is Hard Hit.

More than an inch of gen.
eral rain, accompanied in
many sections by hail that
punctured auto tops, fell over
and Immediately above the
flooded southwestern section
of Indiana and this afternoon
rushed the Wabash and White
Rivers inexorably to the
seasons record flood heights.
Crop loss in fertile Knox and
Daviess Counties, already stagger-
ing as thousands of bottom land
acres have been inundated for more
than week, undoubtedly will be
materially inceased as new fields
are flooded and thousands of tons
more of silt are deposited on them.
Hail in and near Petersburg was
so heavy as to cause several thou
sands of dollars property damage.
1t f1attened fields of winter wheat
and ravaged fruit trees.
At the same time, 2.25 inches OF
rain fell in the same area, adding a
powerful crest to the southwestern
flood condition. Hundreds of tons of
this water was rushing in great
SWirlS to add its weight to the flood
waters.
The heaviest fall was reported at
Hazelton, where 2.79 inches fell.
That is as much rain as usually falls
In half of rainy month, and it
drained rapidly into the west branch
of the White River, which yester-
day was falling.
Farmers Hopes Blasted
At Vincennes 1.33 inches fell and
blasted hopes of all lowland farmers
in the region. Yesterday the lower
Wabash River at that point had be-
gun to fall slowly and fields in
tended for corn crops had begun TO
drain.
This new rainfall will reinundate
those fields and spread to others,
and the delay to corn planters is
viewed with alarm by farmers and
agriculture experts. The corn crop,
they fear, will go far into the fall
maybe too far
At Columbus 103 inches fell; at
Mt. Carmel, 1T inches; at Elliston,
1.35 inches; at Edwardsport, LA
inches; at Bloomington, 1.36 inches,
and at Covington, 166 inches.
Rain Light in North.
The Wabash River is above flood
stage at every United States Wealth
er Bureau measuring station, and j.
H Arlington, Federal meteorolog-
list, forecasts that all streams will
rise substantially within few
hours.
The White River, which was gen.
orally below flood stage early today.
will again go over it's banks and
flood fields, it is predicted.
Rain last night and early today
was light over the northern section,
but more showers are forecast for
tonight and tomorrow. Many low
land families will be forced from
their homes and land and it APP
peared certain that there would be
substantial property damage.

worked against him. Senator Nc
Kellar's motion was adopted by a
voice vote.
The vote came after Long un-
availingly produced two new aff1-
davits purporting to show Mr.. Far
ley's connection with contract
awards in New York.
The galleries, which always fill
up as if by magic when Long is
involved in floor fight, were
packed when the result was an
nounced. The 62-to-20 vote showed
that 10 Republicans and one Pro-
gressive voted with Long and SO
one Farmer La orite against him.
"WiiI Never Boss Senate"
In the bitter exchange which pre-
ceded the roll call, Long shouted:
You can no more burn and
squelch these facts than you can
stop the lightning. You can no
more make this man pure man
than you can make a rotten egg edi-
BILE"
To which Senator Mcclellan re-
piled:
The Senator from Louisiana is
the past grand master, leader,
of abuse. The Senator will never
lead the Democratic party. He may
boss some people down in Louisiana,
but he's never going to boss the peo-
pie of the United States or boss the
