Even the public utilities bill was debated in the house, out of form, progressive democrats objecting to the steam roller, although they were heartily in favor of the bill itself. One of the prettiest fights in prospect for next week in the senate is the Zearing Sunday theater bill, legalizing performances on the Sabbath. A storm of protests has already gone up from church circles al! over the state but in spite of this demonstration it is rumored that the bill has good chance of passing. The theater lobby is said to have counted noses and thereafter to have publicly boasted they had the votes to "deliver.” The past week’s diversions were the

senate's debate on Senator Ratt’s rat bill and a near personal encounter at a public hearing on the housing bill between Representative Clarke of Indianapolis and Lobbyist Don Roberts of Terre Haute. The coming week is expected to produce a brand of in- • surgency on the direct primaries and . constitutional convention questions that will make the Ratts burlesque and the Clarke-Robert no-round bout look ’ insignificant. o —— Kills Three Men (Continued from Pave D Democrat.)—Fifteen thousand Turks were killed and ten thousand were taken prisoners by the Bulgarians was the official estimate of the result of the Gallipoli fighting today.
