LIMITATION OF
HIGHER COURT
FAR REACHING
La Follette Amendment Would
Place Final Control of Laws
With Congress.
METHOD OF PROCEDURE
BY FRANK J. TAYLOR.
WASHINGTON, June 22.—One of the
Jiv-vot lau-eaching steps In the develop
ment of American government is a pro
posed amendment to the Constitution,
draf;ed by Senator La Follette of Wis
consin, making Congress, rather than the
Supreme Court, the final authority on
legislation.
La Follette's amendment trill be offered
in the Senate before the end of this
month. Under it, a law declared uncon
stitutional and scrapped by the Supreme
Court, could be re-enacted by a two
thirds vote of Congress and would then
become a law beyond the power of the
power of the Supreme Court to annul.
ORIGIN IN CHILD
LABOR DECISION.
La Follette's proposal originated with
the Supreme Court decision declaring the
child labor law unconstitutional. It was
ruled out on a technicality, namely, that
jnri 'teflon over child labor rested with
the individual States. The merits of the
law were not passed upon by the court.
La Follette would make it possible for
Congress, which is strongly in favor of
the child labor law, to pass it a second
time. when, with a two-thirds vote, it
would become effective regardless of the
court's veto.
The only other way for Congress to
save the child labor law would be to
p ss a constitutional amendment placing
it within the authority of Congress to
legislate on industrial affairs. Three
fourths of the States would have to pass
the amendment in their Legislatures—a
slow process.
method used to
MAKE NATION DRY.
This method was used in making the
country dry. The eighteenth amendment,
giving Congress authority to regulate the
manufacture and sale of liquors, was
duly passed. Then Congress quickly en
acted the Volstead act, fixing the legal
alcoholic limit.
La Follette’s proposed amendment
would set aside this whole system. It
would give Congress authority at any
time to review the Supreme Court’s de
cisions on constitutionality of laws.
Congress could establish laws without
the delay of referring them to the
States.
QUICK VERDICT
FOR BARTLETT
Deposed Head of Indiana Oil
Refining Company Held
Not Guilty.
GREENSRURO, Ind., June 22.—0n1y
thirty minutes were required for a ver
dict of not guilty from the Jury hearing
the charges against O. L. Bartlett in the
Circuit Court here. Bartlett was for
merly head of the Indiana Keflning
Company at Columbus. The trial was
sent to this county on a change of venue.
Bartlet was alleged to have misappro
priated SO,OOO of the company’s money,
in his capacity of prescient. Bartlett
was deposed In a meeting of stockhold
ers. He was afterward indicted. He
has bronght suit against present officials
of the company to secure control of the
property, which is now almost ready for
the refining of oil. The ct.se attracted
widespread attention on account of the
prominence of the defendant and the gen
eral Interest in the affairs of the com
pany. Many farmers of Decatur and
Bartholomew Counties are stockholders
in the refining company.

Variometer Turns Do the Trick
in Tuning in on Stations
BY PAUL F. GODLET.
America’s Foremost Radio Authority.
That the mere change in relativo posi
tion of two colls of wire will actually
“cut out’’ one transmitting radio sta
tion and bring in another. Is rather sur
prising. Yet that Is exactly what hap
pens when the variometer in a radio set
Is adjusted.
AH radio circuits must have two things
—capacity and inductance.
The capacity ig usually composed of
a condenser; the inductance of a num
ber of spiraled turns of wire.
Variable Inductances are of three kinds
—those known ns slide wire Inductances,
wherein a sliding contact moves up and
down the coil, making contact with
each turn of wire; step-by-step induct
ances, where a switch makes contact
with certain predetermined points along
the coll, or the variometer.
MAGNETIC
CHANGE.
In tho variometer. Inductance Is varied
by a change in the magnetic relationship
of Its two colls, bestially one coil re
volves within the other and the two are
connected in “series.”
When their planes coincide, and the
direction of winding on both stationary
and movable coils Is the same, the mag
netic fields produced by currents flowing
in the malso coincide. The inductance
of the combination Is then at a maxi
mum.
Should the movable coil be revolved ISO
degrees so that the planes of the two coils
again coincide, but so that the direction of
th e winding upon the
coils is in opposition,
f . current flow in g
j \Ju through the coinbina
't */ tion will produce
J j magnetic effects
jf / which oppose each
/ other.
ft Since the coils are
m . exactly equal and
since the current flowing in them Is also
■ equal, the magnetic effects will he equal,
i If the colls were so close together as to
nctually merge one Into the other, the In
ductance of the combination would be
zero.
It Is mechanically Impossible to build
a variometer so that the colls actually do
merge. Many designers have made the
effort, however, to keep the two seta of
colls very close together In order that a
maximum range may be had.
CAPACITY.
In addition to having inductance, all
coils have capacity. In the best vario
meters a very careful balance between a
minimum of capacity and a maximum of
Inductance variatoin is made so that tho
maximum of wave length variation may
be had. That Is the important thing.
If the colls are too close together, the
greater capacity of the combination will
completely offset any Increase in the
range of Inductance variation.
The diagram above Is a cross section of
a variometer, and shows the method of
varying the inductance by opposition or
coincidence of tbe magnetic fields of both
coils.

ADDRESSES BY
BECKINTEREST
GREAT BRITAIN
Few Utterances by Public Men
From United States Are
Comparable.
Special to Indiana Dally Times
and Philadelphia Public Ledger.
LONDON. June 22.—Few utterances of
public men from the United States have
attracted the attention in England as
have tho three addresses of James M.
Beck on America's Constitution, which
have Just been concluded. Evidence that
they were seriously considered Is given
by the fact that each address has been
published nlmost In Its entirety by several
newspapers and that they attracted for
their delivery some of the greatest minds
In England.
The Dally Telegraph comments on their
merits in an editorial of over a column
and says they have thrown on entirely
new light on the framing of tho consti
tution under which the United Stntes has
lived and flourished since its inception.
“It is to be hoped,” says tho Tele
graph, "that n permanent form can bo
given to the three lectures which have
been delivered by Mr. Bock. So far an
we know there does not exist any brief
account of that momentous act of po
litical creation which Is so brilliantly ex
pressed or so rich In enlightened com
ment ns this series of addresses. In tho
English reaction ngalnst absolutism, Mr.
Beck points out, tho omnipotence of
Parliament Is substituted for that of the
crown, which Is sdll the central princi
ple of our political organism. In Amer
ica, they developed the totally different
principle that the powers of government
should bo strictly defined.
“That principle reigns In the political
life of the United States today, and not
only there, for It has been estimated that
350 new constitutions were projected In
tbe first sixty years of the nineteenth
century. In most of them the principle
Just mentioned Is paramount, as it Is in
every documentary constitution of a
democratic character under which mod
ern nations are governed.
"It is a distinction to our race to have
produced in America not only tho earliest
of these—the ancestral form from which
nil others In some measure are derived
but also the most successful and desir
able." —Copyright, 1922, by I’ublic Ledger

WILBURN HELD
CHRISTIAN, BUT
AGITATOR ALSO
Logan County Operators Do
Not Lilte Preacher-Miner’s
Brand of Religion.
NEIGHBORS TELL STORY
By O. O. LYON.
CHARLES TOWN, W. Va., June 22.
“A devout Christian, yes, but a danger
ous agitator.”
That's how Logan County coal oper-
characterize the Rev. John Wil
burn, Baptist preacher at Blair, Logan
County, whom they have on trial here
for murder, in connection with his part
in the battle of union miners against
the operators' mine guards and deputy
sheriffs last summer.
Wilburn’s prosecution, conducted, by
A. M. Belcher of Charleston and Charles
Osenton of Fayetteville, coal operator
attorneys, has developed the fact that
the coal operators of Logan County
don't like the kind of religion the Rev.
Mr. Wilburn preaches.
BELIEVES IN RIGHT
OF FREE SPEECH.
“I believe in the constitutional rights
of free speech and free assemblages,"
says the Rev. Wilburn, “and I haven’t
hesitated to declare myself, In and out
of the pulpit.
“The non-union operators of Logan
County won't stand for either. Their
view is that it's a crime for a man to
join a labor union and for years they've
maintained a terror system of mine
guards and paid deputy sheriffs to keep
men from belonging to unions. They've
tried every way they know of to get me
out of their country.”
Wilburn's congregation at Blair is
too poor to maintain his church so for
some years he has worked in the mines to
support his wife and eight children and
enable him to give his services to the
church free.
DOES NOT DENY
HE GRABBED GUN.
Wilbur does not deny that he grabbed
a gun and began shooting last. August
when ho and his neighbors learned that
two of their number had been killed and
three wounded in a night attack by
Sheriff Don Chafln’s deputy sheriffs and
mine guards. Ills defense is that he was
protecting his home.
A large number of Wilburn's neighbors
testified as to events that provoked the
preacher Into Joining tho miners' army.
“Chafin's deputies came to my bouse,
threw o’Ur furniture out into tho road and
nilstrcntcd my wife and children,” James
W. Harris swore.
"I and my family fled for our lives into
Ohio to escape the deputies and mine
guards."—John Jaynes.
“One of the operators' airmen dropped
a bomb that struck across the street from
I my house."—Guy Moore.
“One of the coal companies gave me a
ticket to come to Charles Town to testify
against Rev. Wilburn.”—George Early.
Negrress Asserts She
Owns White Mule
Mary Caldwell, negress, 615 North West
Streep testified In city court that white
mule, for the possession of which her
husband' was on trial, belonged to her.
Police arrested her on a blind tiger
charge.
Then the court convicted the hnsband,
John, of operating u blind tiger and
fined him $250 ar.d sentenced him to sixty
days on the Indiana State Farm. He
appealed to Criminal Court.
Ilurlan Crouch, 1219 North Mount
street; William Rlchlson, 1320 North
Senate avenue, and EtTle Seampmote, 518
South East street, also were arrested on
blind tiger charges.
