COMMON COUNCIL of City of Muncie, Indiana, Linton Ridgeway, City Clerk.

_ 135.00 Feb. 6-13.

By THOMAS B. MORGAN United Press Staff Correspondent. Vatican City, Feb. 12.—(UP)— Pope Pius XI observed the ninth anniversary of his coronation in the Sistine chapel today, before •broadcasting a radio message from the new Vatican wireless station this afternoon. The Pope left his private apartments early and descended to tl\e vestment hall, where he received the homage of cardinals assembled there. He then put on the pontifical robes, over which he wore the rich “faldistoria,” or mantle of red and

gold.

The procession formed outside the hall to accompany the Pope to the Sistine chapel. A company of Swiss guards, carrying long pikes, led the procession, which included all dignitaries of Vatican City, including the college of cardinals, in formal attire. The Pope was borne shoulderhigh on the “Sedia gestatoria” and wore the triple crown. Two hearers of the “falbellae” or large semicircular ostrich feather fans, accompanied him. The Noble guard followed. At the chapel the Pope knelt before the altar, then took his place on the throne, assisting at mass, j After the ceremony the procession returned to the vestment hall. Opening of the radio station, however, overshadowed other ceremonies for the day. Every detail for the program at the station in the Vatican gardens, culminating in the broadcasting of the Pope’s message at 9:45 a. m. CST, was reviewed. The address was to be followed at once by a translation from the Latin by Monsignor Francis Spell man, formerly of Boston, who also was selected to broadcast the English translation of the Pope’s speech before the papal academy of sciences—a resumt of the Pontiff’s speech—at 10:30 a. m. Mon signor Spellman, attached to the Papal Secretariat of State, will broadcast the full text of the speech at the academy at 2 p. m.

Indianapolis, Feb. 1 that D. C. Stephenson

grand dragon of the Indiana Kn Klux Klan, now serving a life term for murder, dictated the passage of the Wright “bone dry” laws drew heated denials from prohibition leaders during a hearing before a House committee on a bill to re

peal the act last night.

E. A. Miles, attorney for the In diana Anti-Saloon League, defend ing the present prohibition laws hotly asserted that “D. C. Stephen son never had anything to do wit! this law. I never saw that mar, but, once when we disagreed and he left because we could reach nr agreement. Neither did he evei have anything to do with the Anti

Saloon League.”

The hearing last night, although somewhat more decorous than Tuesday night’s session on a meas ure to permit sale of medicinal whiskey when speakers were jeered and hissed, was not entirely devoid of cat-calls and jeers. At one point persons in the audience hissed when Miles announced he would read a report of President Hoover which accompanied the submission of the Wickershara re-

port.

Committee Defers Action. Anti-prohibition forces based their attacks on the contention that the dry laws have brought about more harm than good. The drys laid their defense on a picture of demoralization of society should the laws he wiped off the statute books. Following the stormy session. ^ which continued for more than three hours- the House public morals committee voted to defei action on the measure, as well a? the proposed amendments which would permit medicinal whiskj sale and reduce prosecutors’ fees in cases of liquor convictions, until later. It was practically conceded however, that a divided commit tee report will be submitted, with at least a part of, the members favoring the measures. The charge that Stephenson dictated passage of the Wright law was made by Boyd Gurley, editor of the Indianapolis Times. During the course of his remarks, in which he declared that “reform has become a racket,” he asserted that the law was born in an atmosphere of corruption and intolerance, and passed in ignorance.” Passage Celebrated, Claim. He referred to the bill having been signed by a governor (Ed Jackson) who was indicted, and who escaped conviction only by pleading the statute of limitations.’ When we abolished the saloon we were told that we could usher in a better day, but have we? Th? forces of bigotry, intolerance and greed find the same type of organ ized temperance—which is no temperance at all. We find the tyrannizing of every public official.’ Gurley charged 'that passage of the Wright law “was celebrated by a drunken debauchery that same night” in a downtown hotel. “If you don’t believe that ask any member of the Legislature who war here at that time.” He asserted the law has led to “disrespect for all law.” Dry speakers devoted much of their argument in defense of a charge that the liquor laws have brought widespread disregard foi law, and a general disrespect for liquor laws in colleges and among the youth.

MAY WIDEN STREETS Bluffton, Ind., Feb. 12.—That the city council is giving serious consideration to the proposition to widen the street pavements in the business district of Bluffton by removing portions of the sidewalks on each side of the streets and paving the space thus vacated by walks, became apparent at the meeting of the council Tuesday night when Mayor J.

Indianapolis, Feb. 11.—The old age pension bill, which has weathered several storms in the Senate, yesterday was passed by the scant margin of 26-21. The bill was a special order of business for 3 o’clock, and Senator James J. Nejdl, Republican, co author with Senator Walter Chambers of Newcastle, Democratic floor leader, spoke only briefly be-

fore the vote.

Absentees Are Recalled The Democratic minority voted solidly for the bill, which was a platform measure. The measure also had the support of four other Republican members. They were Senators John S. Alldredge of Anderson, William B. Hoadley of Bloomington, Herman C. Pell of Carbon and George W. Sims of

Terre Haute.

The vote was so close that Senator Nejdl demanded that the ah

As it stands now, the 'Senate bill provides for payment of $25 mourhly to certain indigents above 70 years of age, and makes acceptance of the pension system optional with counties. The House bill, which passed the House by a large majority, is in the Senate committee on county and township business and is in its original form. Both bills originally placed the age minimum at 65 years, and made the act mandatory with counties.
