Graduate study is a means of enlarging one's vision, provides the specialized essential to the prosecution of a successful ministry and conduces to an attitude of humility, declared Rufus B.

Maple, who was found shot to death in his office at the People's National bank at Sullivan, of which he had been vice president, assistant cashier and trust officer, was started in Federal court here today. The shooting occurred Jan. 16, 1928.

The bank Itself and Joy Davis Maple, the widow, have asked the amount due them, they claim, on two $25,000 insurance policies. The plaintiffs contend the shooting was accidental and that they should be paid double because of a clause in the policies which stipulated that twice the face value should be paid in case of accidental death. The defendant, the Aetna Life Insurance Company of Hartford, maintains Maple committed suicide and defense attorneys agreed to pay only $398.56, the amount of the premiums which had been paid on the policies.

CHANGE IN GASOLINE INSPECTION SOUGHT Charging that the state gasoline inspection law is antiquated, that its fees are excessive and that it has been carelessly enforced, Max L.

Wickersham, secretary of the Indiana Petroleum Association, said yesterday that an effort will be made to have it revised at the next session of the Legislature. Mr. Wickersham said that inspectors had been known to accept the invoice billing on tha content of a tank car and bill oil companies for inspection without taking samples. Much of the gasoline, he charged, has been unloaded into bulk piants, hauled to the filling stations in tanks and then sold to the motoring public before the samples sent to the state department have been tested. The law, he said, was adequate in the days when the principal use of oil was as fuel in lamps, but it is inadequate today.

The present rate for inspection is 40 cents a barrel. An effort will be made to reduce this to about 14 cents a barrel. rcllin, Dram Rliop, second floor. pastor of the University Park Christian Church, pronounced the benediction. ---The Butler university band played the processional and recessional marches and also presented lne Spirit of Butler," a recent composition by J.
