ZONING PUTS JUDGE ‘UP IN THE GLOUDS’ (Continued from Page Nine) application has been made for a new permit but a renewal was sought and no written application was made. A question as to wheth- er he would issue the permit it a change in zone is denied was strick- en out when Attorney Golon ob- Jected. Attorney Camp asked Rutherford what procedure is followed out when a permit is asked in a district where a zone chenge is pending. On objection of Lawyer Golon the answer was stricken out, Golon claiming that no power to enact the policy of withholding permits {s shown. Questioned as to whether he had asked Azukas to make written ap- plication, Rutherford replied nega- tively, explaining that he does not advise application when he consid- ers that no permit can issue. Cross- cxamination brought out that per- mifs are issuc@ by the commission only in rare instances. Tn his argument to the court, At- torney Golon took up the defense clalm that Azukas should have first carried his case to the board of adjustment. He set forth that ac- tion before an administrative board cannot be set up as a plea in abate- ment to a court action. Referring to the claim that no permit should be issued during the pendency of a motion ito change a zone, Attor- ney Golon asked if it would be a ! go0od defense to a violation of park- ing laws to set forth that changes in the law are contemplated. Judge Malloy interrupted counsel arguments to declare himself as “‘up in the clouds” as far as documen- tary evidence is concerned. He de- clared it unfair to the court to ask that decisions be made in haphazard fashion. Upon agrecment between Attorneys Golon and Camp, contin- uanee until 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon was ordered.

He then decided to go to the circus grounds and while there, met a man trom Collinsville, who gave him a drink of liguor. He could not un- derstand what tempted him to com- mit the theft. Attorney Edward Quinion, who represented the accused man, told the court that it was the first time his ellent had ever been arrested in Terryville or Bristol. He had been a resident of the former town for five years and during that period, had been employed at the same fac- tory continuously. He added that Maskaitis was well thought of by hi co-workers and added that an offi- cial of the town of Terryville had of- fered to appear as a character wit- ness. Judge Malone, failed to see where the man's past record could excuse the present offence and imposed the fine and jail sentence. Bonds in the event of an appeal were placed at £1,000.

He believes himself to be the only white man ever to have witnessed the sacred ceremony of cleaning the tombs of the Kings, an annual event by tribesmen in the mountains of Skalava. His reports spoke of the parent wealth of the tribes. “Many of the women taking part in the ceremonies were laden with hun- dreds of dollars worth of gold jew- elry,” he wrote, Head hunting is practiced.

YOTE TOMORROW {People Will Decide on Form of Government Indianapolis, Ind., June 20 (UP) —Two years of endeavor to submit ment to voters will be rewarded to- morrow when Indianapolis will de- city council and mayor in favor of a | city commisioner and a city mana- ger. Although the city manager form has the support of all three daily newspapers and its adherent were confident of success if there is a heavy vote, professional politicians opposing the change predicted it would be defeated. Unusual even in Indianapolis, there was great hustling today to interest citizens and bring out a large vote. Politicians who have committed themselves are lined up against the city manager form of government. The ardor of some of its supporters has been cooled somewhat by whis- pers that the Ku Klux Klan has seized control of the city manager | machinery | An enabling act by the state legis- lature in 1921 made the installation of the city manager and commission forms of government possible at the will of the voters. Michigan City is the only Indiana city to have adopt- 'ed it thus far, although a dozen | other communities have voted on the proposition and defeated it. Agitation for the change in In- | dianapolis started two vears ago but the first attempt to obtain a vote | was lost because insufficient signa- tures were obfained to petitions for a referendum. This time an injunc- tion against the election was sought in the courts but was denied.

Uncertain- ty over the change n brokers' loans last week, the total of which will be made publi: by the Federal Re- serve bank after the close of the market, tended to keep trading in check. In view of the fact that the fig- ures cover the weck ended last Wed- | nesday, and that a sharp reaction took place the day before, a de- crease would naturally be expected but so much capital has been tied up | of late in financing new security offerings that it is impossible to make’ estimates with any degree of accuracy. Renewal of the call money rate at 4 per cent, in view of the third successive deficit in clearing Louse resetve, tended to allay some uneasiness over the credit situation. Early losses of 1 to 3 points in many issues were substantially re- duced, or wiped out when a brisk de- mand developed for some of the high priced specialties under the leadership of Houston Oil, which soared 8 points. Nearly a score of new peak prices iwere established, the list including Air Reduction, American Bank Note, American Steel Foundries, Sears Roebuck, Vivau- preferred and Chicago preferred. A stronger undertone also was noted for several of the food shares, particularly Continentdl Baking A, National Biscuit, and Postum Cereal. Renowed weakness of White Motors aroused fears for the safety of the $4 annual dividend on that stock. The Kansas City Southern rallroad, in first report of its May earnings, showed an increase of more than $45,000 in net income over the same month last year. Both the common and preferred stocks of the road ad- vanced to new high levels for the year. and Alton ‘Wall Street Opening Irregular price movements occur- 1ed at the opening of today's stock market, with St. Paul preferred starting at 30, a new high for the year, while White Motors sank to a now low of 42. Pittsburgh Coal was lup 1 5-8 points on the initial salc. Uncertain price moveinents char- acterized the early trading.
