Byrd at the Organ. 12:308 Sign 01. 3, for an alleged attack upon two white girls. It is alleged in the briefs filed for the Dillinger gangsters that the presence of National Guardsmen in the court room robbed their of its public character. Their attorneys said this point was also in the Scottsboro case.

In the brief filed in Makley's behalf, it is contended also that no proof was submitted showing that Makley was aware that Sarber was county sheriff. Makley was indicted for the killing of an officer in line of duty. Within the next thirty days Prosecuting Ernest Botkin must file the state's briefs in support of the convictions. Court Will Consider All. A motion by the Prosecutor to dismiss the appeals is on file with the Supreme Court, but when the court reconvenes in September it is expected it will consider both this motion and the merits of the appeals.

Both the condemned men under an indefinite stay of execution until the Supreme Court has decided their appeals. U.S. WILL CHECK WHISKY RECTIFIERS Tanks to Be Watched in Bootlegging War--Must File Blend Formulas. WASHINGTON, Aug. government plans to put locks on the bottling tanks rectifiers to help crush bootlegging.

Guy T. Helvering, commissioner of internal revenue, announced this plan as one of a number of new regulations effective Sept. 1. At the same time, Secretary Morgenthau authorized the use of wood alcohol as a denaturant in the formula for completely denatured alcohol. Wood alcohol was banned from the to its presence in bootleg liquor.

Manufacturers, distributors and mercial users of completely denatured alcohol had urged restoration of wood alcohol to the formula since repeal. Helvering did not go into detail in explaining how locks on rectifiers' tanks would check illicit diversion but it was understood that liquor remaining after some of the blend in the tanks had been battled would be checked against the amount of alcohol and other spirits in the formula submitted by the rectifier. Under new rules, rectifiers are required to file their formulas and processes with the tax unit. After rectification, officials said, the report of the gauge showing the alcoholic content must be approved before tax stamps are sold. The tax is paid prior to bottling.

The authorization for the use of wood alcohol was given after Haroid N. Graves, acting deputy commissioner of internal revenue, said the use of the product as a denautrant was discontinued because of prohibition and repeal would appear to "jus. tify its restoration." August Sale of Year 'Round SUITS COLUMBUS, 0., Aug. the last day of grace allowed by law, attorneys for Harry Pierpont and Charles Makley today filed briefs in support of their appeals from the death sentences imposed when they were convicted of slaying Jess Sarber, Lima sheriff. The sheriff was slain in the liberation of John Dillinger, who was held in the Lima jail awaiting trial for the robbing of a bank at Bluffton.

The briefs indicated that hopes for a reversal of the convictions rest largely upon the United States Supreme Court's decision in the famous Scottsboro case. this case the court granted a new trial to seven Negroes condemned to death For Men and Young Men! 85 at 9.50 Special Group 124 at $23.50 Barclay 108 at $27.50 Wyckham Kuppenheimer, Stein Bloch, Kup100 at $37.50 penheimer, Society Brand Browns, Blues, Grays 417 Single Regulars, breasted, Longs, double Shorts, breasted, Stouts sports models Savings Are or More!

AYRES' COMPLETE MEN'S- STORE SCHOOLS UNDER 2 HEADS) Youngblood Refuses to Surrender Records-Staff Put Under Crodian. to The Indianapolis PERU, Aug. Peru school board today instructed teachers and janitors to obey the orders of J.

Paul Crodian, who was promoted by the board to succeed G. W. Youngblood, ousted as superintendent, and to ignore any instructions that Youngblood might give them. At the same time the board ordered Miss Glady McDowell, the superintendent's secretary, to go to Crodian's office and take along all records and equipment needed for Crodian to conduct the duties of superintendent. Youngblood refused to surrender the superintendent's office and Crodian established another one across the hall, where he was high school principal until the board gave him a three-year contract as superintendent.

Plans High Court Fight. "I'll carry this fight to the highest court to find out what justice in this case is," declared Youngblood, who blames his ouster on politics. He said it would be the first test case of its kind in Indiana and asserted that he had received letters commending him on his fight from school officials in several states. "Peru hasn't two superintendents at all," Crodian declared, explaining that "the board in its new action has suspended Youngblood under the procedure provided by the Indiana tenure law, so 'how can he claim that he is also superintendent?" It was learned today that the principal charges in a hearing to be given Youngblood by the board Aug. 31 are insubordination, inefficiency and lack of leadership.

RURAL HOMESTEAD PROJECTS PRAISED to The Indianapolis BETHANY PARK, Aug. Rural homestead projects are needed to care for the type of society driven from the cities and unable to take its place in the economic world, Prof. E. C. Cameron of Butler University declared in an address at the Bethany Park Assembly today.

Discussing social issues from the standpoint of the church, Prof. Cameron said that modern living conditions have changed the problems of the church. Citing Denmark as an example of a country rebuilt on a religious basis, he declared that back of any rehabilitation in thie country should be a religious motive.

secret of what happened to John Dillinger's brain was uncovered today. It was removed from his body and subsequently destroyed in the course of microscopic examination, Dr. Jerry Kearns of the Cook county coroner's staff disclosed. The solution of the mystery came shortly after John Dillinger the dead bandit's father, announced at Indianapolis he had decided not to disinter the body to check up on the missing part. He said he realized the removal was not for malicious purposes and that it was made in the hope its study "might add to scientific knowledge and thereby be an aid to mankind." Taken Out During Autopsy.

Dr. Kearns said the brain had been taken out during the autopsy conducted shortly after the outlaw had been slain. Dr. Clarence W. Muehlberger, toxicologist for the coroner, was given two-thirds of it and broke it down into particles for his tests.

The other third, said Dr. Kearns, was dissolved in chemicals and then analyzed. The examination disclosed that Dillinger was sober and not under the influence of drugs when shot, said Dr. Muehlberger. There was a slight presence of alcohol, "which may have been a natural presence," in the liver, he said.

Dr. Muehlberger drew no. conclusions as to the bandit's mentality other than to note there was no evidence of mental ailment. The state has the legal right to examine the vital organs of a criminal, the doctor said. HOOVER'S GRASS PREDICTION RIGHT, DEMOCRAT SHOWN to The Indianapolis WABASH, Aug.

the presidential campaign two years ago Herbert Hoover made some 1 reference to "grass growing in the streets" if the Democrats were elected. Cal Pettiford of North Manchester remembered it and called on John Isenbarger, Democratic county chairman. "Remember that speech Mr. Hoover made," he asked. "Sure," John replied.

But politician he hedged and added, "Which one?" Cal reminded him and then invited John out in the street. Sure enough, there in front of the Democratic chairman's office grass was growing at one spot. Vincennes Filling Station Man Dies After Beating open the place about 8 o'clock this morning. He noticed that the filling station connected with the tavern and operated by Wagner was not open. He investigated and found Wagner in his cabin adjoining the station.
