DISMISS INDICTMENTS OF INDIANA OFFICIALS| Action Against Highway Commis- sioners and Others Quashed by Court By the Associated Press. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., February 5. —Several indictments against mem- bers of the Indiana Highway Commis- sion and others, growing out of the sale of surplus war materials were dismissed in the Criminal Court here today. Among those discharged were John D. Williams, director of the com- mission, and Earl Crawford, a former commissioner. It was the highway indictments which first caused Thomas H. Adams, publisher of the Vincennes Commer- cial, to institute an inquiry into State political affairs. Adams charged that the indictments ‘were “political” and had for their purpose the throwing open of hun- dreds of highway jobs to lieutenants of D. C. Stephenson, one-time power in Hoosier politics and now a life prisoner in the State penitentiary. After delving nto the highway mat- ter, Adams then probed into various political activities, and last September let go a blast of corruption charges almed at numerous public officers.

Motorists Depnved of Permits Ask For Reatoratxon More than a score of motorists whose permits to operate motor ve- hicles in the District have been re- voked or suspended for varfous of. fenses appealed to Traffic Director M. ©O. Eldridge yesterday for the restora- tion of their privilege to drive as a result of the decision of Justioce J. I Smith in Equity Court, which held that traffic officers lack authority to cancel permits unless conviction is seoured. Mr. Eldridge took the requests under advisement, but no action likely will be taken in view of the plan of Corporation Counsel Francis H. Steph ens to appeal from Justice Smith's decision. If the opinion is upheld, the traflo director sald, he would be | forced to return permits to about 150 motorists, many of whom are boot leggera or have criminal records. Justice Smith’s decislon was hand ed down in the case of Peter Tierney, a truck driver, on a charge of driving while drunk.
