Would Obviate Need Of Flotation Of Ten- Year Bonds For Welfare Institutional Construction. Columbus Bureau, 207 Spahr Building. SPECIAL DISPATCH TO TAN ENQUIRER. Columbus, Ohio, March 4-A stamp tax of one cent on each ten cigarettes brought into the state and of 10 per cent on the retail value of cigars may provide Ohio with the solution of its welfare building program, and may make unnecessary the flotation of a ten-year bonding program of $25,000,000, as suggested by Governor White, it became known today.

Not only that, but the $8,000,000 or $10,000,000 which might be derived yearly from such a tax probably would be the means of balancing the state's budget, it was said in wellinformed circles. The proposal of a cigarette tax has been included in a bill prepared by Clarence Laylin, Columbus attorney and counsel for the Special Joint Legislative Taxation Study Committee, after a series of conferences during the last several days by the committee. It is one of the first of numerous measures to be prepared, and: although not specifically recommended, as reported earlier in the week, will be laid before the General Assembly as one means of providing new revenue for the state. Approximately $105,000,000 was spent in Ohio in 1929 for cigars: and cigarettes, the committee was informed as it studied the basis and desirability of such a tax. Even as tax may be levied, there also embodied a provision thee for cutting in twain the current license fees charged against dealers ir.

tobacco. This would reduce the license fee in Ohio to $25, in the case of retailers, and $100 for wholesalers. The effective date on the proposed stamp tax in all probability would not be before July 15, so that the necessary machinery for the plan could be set up. It is considered probable that stamps would be sent direct to the manufactories, and the charge would be levied a jainst first importer, there being no makers of cigarettes in Ohio. The stamp tax as a means of providing funds for Ohio's proposed welfare building program apparently has gained wide favor among those who have deplored the inadequacy of present living quarters in the state's several institutions.

Funds that might otherwise be derived periodically from a 10-year bonding program, could be taken more easily from the proceeds of the tobacco tax, it is pointed out. Ten or 12 other states have similar levies against the weed, and find it ready and lucrative source of revenue. The Taxation Committee, still continuing its studies of ways and means of reaching intangible properties for levy purposes, will meet twice tomorrow-after the noon session of the General Assembly and again at night. SUSPECT FURNISHES BOND. Edward "Red" Mitchell To Await Murder Trial Jail.

Chicago, March 4 (UP) The $1,000,000 legal fight over whether (its possible for blue-eyed parents to have brown-eyed children almost became embarrassing for everybody concerned today.

But Attorney John B. Condon diplomatically remained mum when a blue-eyed mother and father and their two brown-eyed children stood Court at the Longley estate battle. Condon previously had announced he would have to ask several "very personal questions" if any blue-eyed citizens appeared in Court with brown-eyed children they said were their own. The fight primarily is over the estate of the late Albert W. Longley.

who willed his $1,000,000 to his third wife, Mrs. Caroline Longley. George Adair Longely, who has brown eyes, is trying to break the will on the contention that he is the son of Longley and Longley's first wife. The third Mrs. Longley insists that he is an Imposter, because Longley and his had blue eyes and because the famous Mendelian principle of inheritance holds that blueeyed folks must have blue-eyed chil dren.

Now go on with the story: Mr. and Mrs. Leo Turney, both with the brightest of blue eyes, appeared in Judge Michael Feinburg's Court at the behest of young Longley. Everybody took a good look at their blue eyes. Then trooped in the Turney's two children, with eyes of deepest brown.

Judge Feinburg turned expectantly toward Condon, attorney for the thithe Mrs. Longley. Condon peered assorted colors in the eyes of the Turney family, gulped and said nothing at all, despite his previous announcement concerning embarrassing questions. Dr. John W.

Hudson, professor of genetics at Loyola University, testified, meanwhile, that the good Abbe Mendel, when he formulated his theory of "like produces like" 100 years or didn't have human eyes in question. Mendel was thinking of bugs and plants and things, the professor testified, and then only generally. "Mendel's law is not infallible," said Dr. Hudson, "and the human eye follows the law the least of any anatomical part." The whole argument, incidentally, is tending to leave Judge Feinburg between the "devil and the deep, blue sea." If he decides that Mendel's law is all wrong, he'll be in bad with a whole assortment of famous scientists. And if he holds that the Mendelian principle is correct, as several letters to him have pointed out pointedly, he will cast aspersions on the parentage of every brown-eyed child of blue-eyed fathers and mothers in the world.

So's Your Old Relativity! Voliva Scoffs At Einstein. Theory--But That "Flat Doctrine-Ah, That's An Idea, He Says. SPECIAL DISPATUR TO TIL ENQUIRER. New York, March 4-Wilbur Glenn Voliva, overseer of the Christian Apostolic Church at Zion, returned here today from a trip around a world "as flat as a pancake." It was the globe that was flat, not Mr. Voliva.

The gentleman with the frock coat and the big hat, who is best known for his astronomical vagaries, was usual rotund self, splendid health and eager for a tilt with anyone concerning the true shape of the earth. Learning that Professor Albert Einstein, a rival savant who goes in for curves, was in town, Mr. Voliva at once dispatched Carl L. Huth, his secretary, in search of the German scientist with a challenge to debate. Unfortunately Professor Einstein was preparing to sail, so Mr.

Huth left a treatise covering the terrestial pancake hypothesis at the professor's door. "I've studied the Einstein theory," said Mr. Voliva, "and it is pure bunk. Just stuff on paper. The man has no proof.

He even thinks a beam of light can curve around and hit hini in the back of the head. Space-a round earth -the sun a million miles away. That's bunk. I can prove it. The sun is hanging in a big dome that fits over us cup and it is only 3,000 miles away.

I have been around the world, but I have not been around a ball. "Let me tell you something-" and that is exactly, what Mr. Voliva did. He talked ship, the President Harrison, that always sailed north, and produced his own compass from a vest pocket to prove it. He described a world "full of h- and rushing to destruction," with 1935 marking the climax.

The world may not be destroyed then, he explained, but Russia will overrun Europe, influenza will sweep the hemispheres, India would rise against Britain, the yellow man will go on a rampage and chaos generally will result, he said. Mr. cited biblical proof of his predictions. He told of his plan to plant colonies throughout the world despite the approaching end. Prohibition, he said, had nothing to do with crime in the United States.

The people are just restless, waiting for the end, he explained. From Chicago, Mr. Voliva jumped back to India. The Hindu fakirs, he said, are not even good magicians, adding that even the snakes were frauds. The Zion man of science said he had observed nothing on his voyage to change his conception of earth as a dish with the north pole in the middle and a rim of ice around the edge to keep venturesome persons from falling off.

What was beyond the edge, he would not venture to say, but he was certain there was not as much space as Professor Einstein imagined. Mr. Voliva said he had received a number of "helligrams" and that h- was still directly beneath the earth and heaven immediately above it and neither were very far away. The devil, he said, continued to smother tobacco smokers in tobacco By Tom Pettey. smoke, douse tobacco chewers in a vat of juice and drown alcohol drinkers in a natatorium of booze.

The submarine expedition to the north pole by Sir Hubert Wilkerson is not considered. to be exceptionally dangerous Voliva. "The heavy ice crust or mountain is in the outer rim," said the voyager, "and that is where you have to watch your step. The North Pole is in the middle of the flat earth." As for rocket trips to the moon, Mr. Voliva was not so sure.

Off hand, he apologized, he could not exactly give mileage between the earth and the moon. "I have not studied the moon like I have the sun," he said. It was the period of chaos due in 1935 that concerned Mr. Voliva most deeply. "He said he had given a lot of thought to it when on his voyage and a lot of first hand observation.

"I found it all in the Bible a long time ago," said Mr. Voliva, "and it is coming true. Any fool can predict eclipses and other movements of stars. It's all a mater of cycles, but nobody knows what causes it. "To predict happenings on the earth is another matter.

"The first Biblical clue was the passage that revealed the earth would be ruled in three cycles. The Jews ruled until the end of David. The Gentiles then took it over and now it is going back to the people of Palestine. "I know Russia is going to overrun Europe because the thirty-eighth and thirty-ninth chapters of Ezekiel tell me so. "There are three words "Rosh" meaning Russia, "Eshech" meaning Moscow and "Tubal" meaning Tobolsk.

It tells of the greatest army on horseback. That would be the Russian invaders. "Mussolini knows there will be another world war in 1935, but I beat him to the prediction. He is the dictator of dictators on earth today. There is a secret understanding be1 ween Mussolini and Germany and there will be Facisti against Communists.

"All of these things point way 'The day of destruction is coming, and 1935 would be an epochal NINE PLANES Burn In Western Canada Airways Hangar Explosion At St James -Damage Is $1,000,000.

Dublin, Irish Free State, March 4-(AP)-St. Patrick's Day again will be bone dry in the Free State, as successive postponements of a pending liquor bill have so reduced the time available that it cannot become law by March 17.

The bill was introduced that citizens of the Free State might be able to observe the ancient custom of "drowning the rock" in alcoholic beverages on this great day, for in recent years there has been prohibition over St. Patrick's Day, Good Friday and Christmas. The new measure, which is supported by the Government, Farmer and Independent Deputies, but vigorously opposed by' the Flanna Fail and Labor, would permit licensed saloons to remain open for two hours, March 17. DENIES SCHROEDER STORY. Witness Says No Ditch Exists Where Alabaman Places Crash.

Indianapolis, March 4-(AP)-The national road between Marshall and Martinsville, runs through level country and there are no deep depressions on either side of highway, it was testified here today in the murder trial of Harold Herbert Schroeder, 35 years old, of Mobile, Alabama. It was on this part of the road that Schroeder said an unidentified hitch-hiker he had picked up had suffered a broken neck when Scroeder's automobile went into a ditch last May. Schroeder, according to his statement, then drove back to Indianapolis and set fire to his car and the man's body. Carl Louderback, of Indianapolis, who makes frequent trips over the national between Indianapolis St. Elmo, surprise state witness, testified grading on either side of the pavement was about five feet wide and not more than 12 inches lower than the road.

He said that on June 28 he went over the road and, "as an experiment," ran off the pavement several times at a speed of 40 miles an hour. He said he noticed no great jar and had no trouble in stopping his car. "Did you ever go to sleep and drive off the defense Attorney Ira roadHolmes. "No," the witness replied. DAYTON WOMEN SPEAK At Spring Conference Of Central Parents And Teachers' Group.

The meeting was closed with Association. Governor White also a dinner tonight. Auction And Contract Bridge By The World's Leading Authority, MILTON (. WORK. AN UNEXPECTED SQUEEZE.

9-8 10-6-3-2 A-J-9-6-3 J-10 07-6-3 NORTH $5-2 I K-0-J-4 WEST 09-7-5 Dealer 140-5-3 SOUTH A-8 A-K-9-4 G-9 With the above hand at Auction the bidding would have been: Soutn one Spade, West two Hearts, North and South Spades. At Contract' South might bid three Spades, in which case North would advance to four on the strength of his Diamond Ace; if a forcing bidder South might bid two Spades and go to four when North bid Diamonds. What actually happened was that South started with the artificial twoClub bid and West bid two Hearts. North and East passed, and South bid four Spades. South's two-Club bid, followed by the four Spades, was intended to show North that South had a game hand at Spades, with no alternative South started with four Spades, North would have taken the bid to be pre-emptive; and South wanted North to bid if he had an Ace and a King.

In that case South could have bid for a slam. North was not justified in inviting a slam with only one trick in his hand; therefore the final contract was four Spades with South the Declarer. West led the King of Hearts which South won with the Ace. Declarer then saw that utilizing North's two trumps on South's two losing Clubs probably would produce twelve tricks, so South led the Ace and King of Clubs to tricks 2 and 3. A small Club which North ruffed at trick 4 drew West's Queen of Clubs and, by making South's Nine good, eliminated the need of a second ruff; SO the adverse trumps were exhausted at once.

Declarer now might have faced his cards, claiming twelve tricks; but the South who played the hand saw the possibility of a squeeze if West had the Jack and Queen Hearts and the King and Queen of Diamonds. If West did not have these cards, trying the squeeze would not lose. South led three more trumps and the Nine of Clubs. When the Club was led, North had left the Ace and Jack of Diamonds, and the Ten of Hearts, West, attempting to guard two suits, also had the Queen of Hearts and King-Queen of Diamonds. But West had to discard before North, and it mattered not which discard he made, if a Diamond honor North would keep two Diamonds, if a Heart North would keep the Ace of Diamonds and the Ten of Hearts.

Either way, Declarer takes thirteen tricks. Jchn F. Dille Co.

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE ENQUIRER. Columbus, Ohio, March 4-Criticism of what generally is conceded to be inconclusive action on bills by committees of the Ohio Senate, aired in Republican caucus two weeks ago, was taken onto the floor of the Senate today by a Democrat, with the result that tonight plans were under way for a complete revision of committee schedules, if necessary, to assure measures of their full and fair, day in Court. Acknowledging that, perhaps, it was "ill-advised" for a first-term member of the minority to so criticize committee action, Senator D. J. Gunsett, Van Wert County, made the charge that four bills of considerable importance had been voted out by the Highway Committee, even though less than a quorum had been present during their consideration.

Senator Earl R. Lewis, majority leader, Belmont County, agreed "heartily" with what Gunsett said, and declared a new schedule of committee sessions should be made if the present one brought about such an overlapping of time that members on more than one committee, had to forego one session to attend another. There the affair ended, but the fact that committee procedure hadbeen sutject to censure twice within, virtually as many weeks, and from both sides of the House, was held significant, and a sign not altogether optimistic for the future of much of the legislation that still is in committee hands. The Senate received two more joint resolutions and two bills, one measure by Senator David Democrat, Hamilton County, providing for the remedy of contribution between mere negligence tort' feasors. The second bill, by L.

L. Marshall, Republican, Cuyahoga, would reorganize the State Civil Service Commission, providing for a commission of three, two of the party to be named by the Governor, and the third to be selected list. submitted by a board of examiners selected by the Presidents of three state universities. A joint resolution by Senator' Frank E. Whittemore, Republican, Summit County, would amend the State Constitution to eliminate preference as to first and second choices in the election of delegates to a national convention.
