How can the police depart
ment uphold the law IL we do
not catch violators and punish
them"
This was the answer Of Police
Commissioner Frank d. Eaman
Saturday to criticism of his de-
partment by State Liquor Com
missioner James E. Dotsch.
Dotsch made his remarks in dis
missing a case against Mrs. Emily
White, liquor licensee at 2977
Grand River avenue. Her hus-
band, Charles, had been ticketed
by two patrolmen who said White
served a glass of beer to an in
toxicated man at his bar on Eas-
ter Sunday The liquor law forbids
sale of alcoholic drinks to intoXi-
Gated persons.
DotSch, however, declared that
it was the duty of the police who
observed what was happening 10
warn the bartender not to serve
the man, rather than to wait for
law violation to occur and then
ticket him.
Eaman said:
ut was necessary In this case
for the officers TO watch what
occurred and then make an ar
rest I'm order to have all the
evidence needed 10 make case.
A mere warning would not re-
suit in a case that would stand
up i'm court"

Duncan c. MeCFea, former county

Judge Earl {. Pugsley. heard
many legal arguments over the
OHara conspiracy interpretations,
both of which were upheld by the

assistant prosecutor of Wayne
County in 1882 and a 23-man

his police commissioner. police

The grand j jury was certain the
conspiracy existed, but when ii
came time to indict they could find
no law. So O'Hara drew up the
indictment. taking principles from
the English common law.

began an inquiry into the draft
classification of Arthur w. Semp-

deferment that permitted him to
conduct a successful campaign for
election as a Circuit Court COM
missioner.
Draft board 10, which gave
Sempliner the election respite,
classified him in class Alb after
his election, on the basis that his
post was that of a court of record.
That classification was withdrawn
when status of the commissioner
ship was challenged.
Arthur D. Devine. chairman OF
the board, invited Sempliner to a
meeting of the board Monday
night to offer proof that the COM
missioner is judge of a court oil

state. another conspiracy indlct-
ment was written by O'Hara.

clerk. state senator and sc

The Supreme Court again upheld
O'Hara's Indictment which was
more inclusive than the previous
one, establishing law on the right
of an attorney general to intervene

O'Hara has drawn up all the
warrants issued for conspiracy in

theories.
The recount trial, prosecuted
by O'Hara, was the longest jury
trial held in Michigan until the
McCrea-Wilsox trial, ended last
Monday, shattered its record.

International News Service Cable

BUDAPEST, May 3.-Turkey is
moving closer to the Axis powers,
certain Balkan diplomatic quar-
tiers contended today, predicting
that the return of German Ambas-
sador Franz Won Papen to Ankara
will bring decisive developments.
These circles depicted Turkey as
being ready TO join the tri-partite
alliance next week and believed
the Ankara government might give
Germany the right to transport
troops across Turkish territory.
One report from Istanbul said
Germany might land an expedi-
tionary force at the Turkish
Aegean port Of Smyrna for pas
sage to Iraq where fighting be-
tween British and native troops
already has broken out.
thine additional reserve
classes already have been called
up by Turkey, and the govern
ment has ordered evacuation
from the northwestern areas
bordering the Dardanelles. This
would appear to indicate that
Turkey is either preparing to
resist German demands or place
herself In the strategic position
Of driving a hard bargain with
the Axis.
Meanwhile, German quarters ir
Budapest reported that Arab
tribesmen in Palestine and Trans
iordania were gathering at the
southwest frontier of Iraq, ready
to aid the Iraq troops.

Children being admitted to its
northern Michigan clinics are
much more seriously i'll than we
would expect under normal cir

ment in state appropriations for
crippled children, the Children's
Fund of Michigan declared Satur-
day.
The statement was contained in
the funds annual report, which
outlined how S703, 1900 of the
fund set up by the late Senator
James Couzens was expended dur
ing the year just ended. The re-
port declared:
1.-The volume of work Mt the
clinics at Marquette and Trav-
erse City is still adversely AZ
fected by the curtailment of APP
preparations by the state for
afflicted and crippled children.
A dmis lions of state cases
through the clinics have been
restricted to emergency care,
and because of this and the at
tendant delays In admission the
children are much more seri-

That would be nice" She tried to keep
the disappointment out of her voice She had
pictured this honeymoon with Ashley and al
ways it had been in that cabin Of his on the
half crescent Of sand with the palm trees
screening it.
She had seen them sitting out on the small
porch on the one step, her hand in his, the
night like inverted bowl full of stars and
moonlight And suddenly she had a queer
feeling that if she couldn't have her honey
moon with Ashley there, she didn't want to
have a honeymoon with him at all. Certainly
not in San Tarino with it's luxury hotels. its
cabarets and its music halls.
But she said nothing further about the
honeymoon and neither did he. Only one
reference was made TO that incident that had

her more, but when few minutes later she
rang June's bell she was family smiling.
(And Now Go on With the story
IUNE was working in her office How she
kept her mind on the documents she was
- trying TO type she didn't know Shed
type away furiously- for few minutes then
her fingers would lag and she'd sit notion
less. Sometimes. even, the keys she try
ing to follow would become blurred then she'd
brush hand across her eyes and sigh.
If she had told herself. once that morning
she had told herself hundred times that
she had nothing 10 worry about In fact that
episode last night though horribly embar-
RAISING had brought things TO a happy
climax. Ashley and she were being married
on sunday, she SAID tnat 10 ncfSCu, 100,
aloud sometimes, and each time it made her
catch her breath in a scared sort Of way as
though she couldn't believe it even yet.
The very idea had been at the end of a
rainbow for so long she couldn't convince
herself it was actually about TO happen. But
this was Friday There only today to
be got through somehow, then tomorrow and
the next day would be Sunday. Nothing, she
thought, could possibly happen in that short
intervening time. Nothing.
It had been as much Of a surprise TO her
as anyone when Ashley had made his dramatic
announcement last night. 1t had even driven
from her mind the memory of Sandras blow.
She hadn't had the least notion that Ashley
was contemplating such early wedding,
but as he had made the announcement his eyes
had met hers, and they seemed TO say; Play
up"
June wouldn't have been June if she hadn't
responded TO that plea and done it most con-
vincngly too. She had smiled charmingly and
accepted everyones good wishes, and seemed
TO forget that there was a red mark across
of her cheeks.
Everything had gone so smoothly after
the startling episode that IT was odd she
should feel almost afraid of being alone with
Ashley. But after the party had ended, there
was nothing for it but to get into his car when
