Capture Convictl After Freedom Of Five Years Brookie Dawson Leaves Wife, Child To Return To Jackson Prison DETROIT, May 12.-(P)-Brookie Dawson, 27 years old was returned to Jackson State prison, today five years after he escaped by driving a car away from the institution in an ef- fort to visit a dying sister in Detroit. In his five years of freedom Daw- son built up a successful machinist's business in Peekskill, N. Y., married an attractive blond wife, and became the father of a son. Sentenced in 1924 at the age of 18, for 5 to 10 years for driving an auto away, Dawson was a model pris- oner for four years. He was made a trusty, and worked outside the prison walls. After his escape he returned to his sister's home in Detroit, but the police were on the watch for him and he did not see her. In New York the shadow of his escape hung over him, and more than a year ago his fears led him to give up his business and take his family away. They traveled from city to city, their savings dwindling while Dawson searched in vain for work. Two weeks ago they returned to a sister's home in River Rouge, and Thursday the police arrested Daw- son. The wife and ten-months-old son are left penniless while the father, a successful business man when he met his wife, returns to prison. Contest To Be Held In Speech Classes Judge Rules New Brew Is Against Law Colorado Jurist Asserts{ S3.2Beer Is Violation Of The Constitution GREELEY, Colo., May 12.-P')- Sweeping aside the opinions of some of the ablest constitutional lawyers in Congress, who aided in drafting the 3.2 per cent beer bill, District Judge Claude C. Coffin has declared its passage in violation of the con- stitution. In his decision which denied the Greeley Elks club and Fred N. Fetch, cafe owner, a writ of mandamus which they sought to compel the Greeleycity council to issue beer per- mits, Judge Coffin said the Con- gressional declaration that 3.2 beer is non-intoxicating is contrary to the "general known physical facts." Fetch said he may appeal the de- cision immediately to the state su- preme court and possibly to the fed- eral courts. "Congress, by legislative action, might state that gasoline is non- inflammable but that does not keep it from burning," the judge said. "I think that not only the state .beer law but the act of Congress le- galizing 3.2 beer is an attempted eva- sion of the Eighteenth Amendment and hence unconstitutional and in- valid. "It follows that, as the privileges asked for by these petitioners are claimed through an invalid law, that the right asked for should not be granted." The basis for his decision, he said, was a Rhode Island case in which the supreme court held that neither Congress nor legislatures may pass measures "thwarting or evading pro- visions of the United States consti- tution." Greeley long has been a dry stronghold and deeds to most of the property in the city provide that if intoxicating liquors ever are sold on the premises title shall revert to the Union colony, original owners of the townsite. Judge Coffin is a Republican but in his political campaigns has never been aligned either a wet or a dry. Cranbrook Headmaster Will Be Guest Of Hoeys Dr. William O.

Marchese Phone 9860 Report Shows Few Jobless In Library Science Graduates "Out of the 297 individuals who have received degrees in library sci- ence from the University of Michi- gan but 27 are actually unemployed at the present time," it is recorded in statistics recently published by William W. Bishop, head of the li- brary science department. This is less than ten per cent un- employed, and most of these are from the last two classes, the report shows. The first degrees in library science were given in 1927. Mr. Bishop writes that the greater part of the graduates have gone into university and college work, while 74 have taken up public library posi- tions, 29 school library work, and seven are engaged in children's li- brary work. There are also five em- ployed in instruction in librarian- ship. The Department of Library Science has enrolled at the present time 58 students, and it is pointed out that the number taking the sec- ond degree has increased consider- ably in the last two years. Radio Broadcasting Tried By Students Students in Prof. G. E. Densmore's advanced speech course have been combining business with pleasure for the past week. As a part of the regular class work, instruction in radio broadcasting is included. To make the study more interesting Professor Densmore has installed an imitation radio set, dif- fering from a real outfit only in that wires are used to convey the sound instead of the ether. The studens are required to originate their own programs and plan a continuity which has to fit a limited time sched- ule. While one group of the class is broadcasting its programs other members of the class are in another room listening to it. "It is great fun," stated Professor Densmore, "and I believe the stu- dent was able to grasp the intrica- cies of microphone technique far better by actually talking through a microphone and later have the I class criticize his voice, than if he had to study the same material from a .textbook." Rep. McFadden's Of Tax Evasion Basis Of Action WASHINGTON, May 12.-G)--An investigation of the income tax re- turns of Andrew W. Mellon, the wealthy former secretary of the treasury and ambassador to Great Britain, has been started by the jus- tice department. Charges made on the floor of the House by Representative McFadden (Rep., Pa.) form the basis of the action. McFadden asserted that Mel- lon while in President Hoover's cab- inet had been guilty of "a specific tax evasion" on -approximately $6,- 700,000. In addition to the McFadden charges, Attorney General Cummings said, a number of letters had been received from private citizens asking for such an investigation. Cummings indicated he would handle the case through a special in- vestigator. "It is fair to say that the policy of the department is to investigate all cases where the complaint indi- cates that there is some substance to the allegations," the attorney gen- eral said. This is a serious charge and has to be treated seriously and I hope fairly." McFadden last week read a letter to the house from David A. Olson, former investigator for the senate stock market committee, asserting that in 1931 Mellon sold stock in the Western Public Service Co. and the Pittsburgh Coal Co. showing a loss of $6,700,000, "which loss was de- ducted for income tax purposes." Olson's letter said the Pittsburgh Coal Co., stock was repurchased by the Coalesed Co., "which company is owned 100 per cent by Mr. Mellon and his family." 100 ENGRAVED CARDS and PLATE $2.25 - Any Style - DAVIS & OHLINGER 10$-1l East Washington St. Phone 8132 Second Floor Justice Dept.
