'UseTax' And Secret Primary Ballot Perhaps Most Outstanding (By Associated Press) LANSING, Oct. 29 Michigan placed 126 new laws a bulky fragment of the voluminous output of the 1937 legislature on its statute books today. They were in addition to 349 acts which the law-makers deemed sufficiently important to be given immediate effect. Several other statutes, by legislative decree, do not become effective until January 1 or March 1, 1938.

These include the civil service act and a group of bills challenged by referendum petitions designed to bring about a "model" reorganization of state welfare activities. One of the laws to become effective today already is in litigation. It levies a "use tax" of three per cent on Michigan sales by of other states and is designed to plug loopholes, in the state sales tax act--which can be imposed onlyupon Michigan merchants. The use tax would provide an estimated revenue of $1,500,000 a year. Another new measure provides for a secret primary Dallot wnicn per mits voters to choose their political party without a public record of their choice.

Legislators sought, througn this statute, to protect voters from partisan pressure; A law which lists 31 occupational diseases under the workmen's compensation act and another providing for pre-marital physical examinations as a safeguard against venereal diseases top a group dealing with social reforms.

IV ALL STREET i 'SHORTS' FACE NEW CURBING Move Is Underway To Outlaw 'Bear Raids' As Slump Creators NEW YORK, Oct. 29 Wall street speculators faced the possibility of new restrictions today as a result of a New York stock exchange move to investigate "short selling." The Twentieth Century fund, independent foundation which the stock exchange has asked to conduct the inquiry, was already oh record as opposed to some existing market practices untouched by- the federal market control law. Outlaw 'Bear Raids' It went so far as to recommend four years ago that so-called "bear raids" "short sales of unusual size" in a single stock in one day should be outlawed as creators of artificial price slumps. Figures high in the stock exchange said they were aware of this, but promised serious consideration to any changes the fund may propose. The findings of the new study, one prominent market figure declared, would "carry tremendous weight." "This is not intended as a job to be engineered from the inside," he added.

"We picked the 20th century fund because we know it will do an expert, thorough, and fair study without trying to grind anyone's axe." The exchange announced yesterday it had "invited" the Twentieth Centurv fund to make a "thorough study of the effect of short selling on security markets and to publish its findings."

In his plea to the jury, Lehr called Chebatoris, who flushed at the words, a "brutal, ruthless killer a sly, sneaking human beast." "This is no time for foolish sympathy," Lehr told the jury.

Crank-shaw. FELON FAILS IN SUICIDE TRY TO CHEAT PENALTY (Continued From Page One) his death penalty first in Michigan in 100 years. The jury-condemned murderer, gun killer of a bystander after an attempted bank holdup in Midland, fell under a federal law compelling him to pay with his life for the crime, ironically in a state which lacks capital punishment. Thus Federal Judge Arthur J. Tuttle, who last night received a jury's verdict recommending Chebatoris "be punished by death," must decide in which state the execution shall be carried out.

'The law does not specify the manner of execution. Court attaches said they believed this would be the first time the death penalty, mandatory in view of the jury's recommendation, would be invoked under the amended federal law. Judge Tuttle said he would pass sentence some time today. Exactly a month ago today Chebatoris, Detroit hoodlum and ex -convict, and Jack Gracey of Detroit tried to rob the Chemical State Savings Bank at Midland. Two bank officers were wounded the robbers' flight Dr, Frank L.

Hardy, dentist vigilante, kill ed Gracey "and wounded Chebatoris. Killed Truck Driver The death which Chebatoris escaped then from Hardy's deer rifle was ordered for him by a Jury of seven women and five men because he killed Henry J. Porter, truck driver, in his futile flight. Records show that the last man whose life the law had taken in Michigan was one Stephen Simmons, Wayne innkeeper who was hanged September 24, 1830, for his wife's murder. Michigan then had not yet attained statehood.

The jury's death verdict, reported reached on the seventh ballot after seven hours deliberation, was commended by Judge Tuttle, a veteran of 20-odd years on the federal bencn. Before a crowded and hushed courtroom, while the 39-year-old rogue for whom it was intended chewed gum, jury foreman Ora Akin announced the verdict shortly after 8:30 p. m. Akin, Houghton Lake hotel man, addressed Judge Tuttle: "We find the defendant guilty as charged and direct that he be punished by death." Jury Orders Death On the first ballot, jury members disclosed later. Chebatoris was found guilty of murder by unanimous vote.

On the sixth, the vote was 11 to 1 for death. Directly, Judge Tuttle commended 608-610 Ship St, I I I I I "AnE I J. 'fm mm III voIIim!
