MW ASKS DELAY OF BILL Intervenes in Fight Over Memorial Bay Sports Bill: Other Legislation (United Press Service) . Indianapolis, Jun. 31—(Special tol Daily Democrat)—Governor McCray. Intervened today In the fight over tin- Memorial Duy bill to bar the an ! nnal 500 mile automobile races here which has pursed the senate and Is pending in the house of representatives. The governor requested Speaker. Raymond Morgan to side track the Memorial Day bill until next week in order that measures recommended in the executive message could be tak-. en up now and avoid being caught i tn the last minute legislative jam. The speaker said he would comply; with McCray's request. The bill which is designed to prohibit all sporting events of a commercial nature on Memorial Day is; now ready for second reading tn the house. Indianapolis. Jan. 31 — (Special to Dally Democrat)--By a vote of 50 to 47 the state house of representatives today killed the Collins-Jonnes hill which provided for an immediate assessment of real estate throughout Indiana. The bill provided that real estate shall be re-assessed in 1923 and in 1927 when originally introduced but the years were changed by the committee on county and township business to read 1925 and 1929. In this form it was recommended j for indefinite postponment by the committee and the recommendation; was adopted. A bill similar to one introduced in the house which would repeal the law authorizing Indiana cities to adopt the city manager form of government was introduced by Senator Hill. The bill provides that cities now operating under the city manager would not be affected. Senator Hill said he introduced the bill because the few cities which have voted on the question except Michigan City have rejected the new form of government. Anyone selling coal. coke, hay or straw must furnish a delivery ticket with each wagon load showing the gross and net weight and the quality of the material according to a bill which passed in the senate by a vote of 38 to 3. The bill was introduced by Senator Hill and now goes to the lower house. A bill to give school children cheaper text books wys introduced by Rep-| resentative Hobbs. It would reduce the profit of the retailer to 10% of the wholesale price. The retailer now may get as much as 20% profit. “DOPE” SOLD TO CHICAGO PUPILS Drastic Steps to End Drug Traffic Among High School Pupils Expected (United Pi ess Service) Chicago, Jan. 31.—The story told by George Roth, high school student, that he shot himself because he was unable to obtain dope to which he was addicted, was disputed today by police after an investigation. “Roth had read of Wallace Reid and wishing to do something sensational and atract attention," said Sergeant George Collins, who had charge of the investigation. "He sought notoriety and not death." "He admitted he had not had a shot of morphin" in fifteen months and there was no trace of drugs tn his sys tern.” Roth will recover, physicians announced. Investigation of sources where Roth said he obtained the drug failed to disclose any drug peddling. Chicago, Jan. 31—(Special to Daily Democrat) —Drastic steps to end the traffic in drugs to high school students here were expected today following sensational disclosures made to police by George Roth, 18, who is near death from self inflicted wounds. Dr. John Dill Robertson, president of the school board, issued a call for a meeting of the principals of all schools today at which the dope evil will be discussed’ “We will ask the police and the federal narcotic inspectors to attend the meeting,” Robertson said. “We are going to find out just how widespread this traffic in drugs is and then stamp it out." Roth told authorities he shot himself after an unsuccessful fight to throw off thp drug habit. He was a student at the Lane Technical high school. Roth said he got drugs from a

T ••peddler" who was fast becoming] wealthy by selling dope to the students. The Roth tragedy followed closely; an investigation nt another high school which revealed, according to ( police, the sale of drugs and liquor to students who staged a series of i 'wlhl parties.” I A. J. Roth, father of the boy, de ila red he had received a note In which his son told him he was “nt ; the end of his rope" and begged for forgiveness. “Don't blarno mo, blame the drug" the note said. Roth told police he first took tin' drug for a toothache last October He said he soon got the habit and hit life became a night mare to obtain funds to buy drugs. He admitted pllI sering money from his parents be 'cause the “medicine was expensive."! Police were convinced that many] pupils are victims of the drug peddler land launched an immediate invest!-, i gution. ENTENTERENT APART TODAY France-British Unity Further Disrupted by French Support of Turks (l.'iilled Press Service) The entente of victory was rent apart today. France-British unity was further! disintegrated by French support of | Turkey at Lausanne and the British government, surprised and angry.' prepared to defend its near east | claims single handed. Just as Great Britain refused to j back a French ultimatum to Ger- ! many when Poincare wanted a solid | allied front to enforce reparations, so the French told the Turks Marquis Curzon’s ultimatum at Lausanne need not apply as being representative of France. The peace treaty was formally; presented to the Ottoman delegates, hut it no longer was backed by allied solidarity. Events in the Ruhr and Rhineland —further imposition of martial law and fresh troop movements with artillery into the Essen district — were completely overshadowed by this' situation. Turkey lost no time in taking ad- ; vantage of the rift in the entente, i Ignoring Curzon’s ultimatum, which called for definite acceptance or rejection of the allied terms today. Ismet Pasha calmly asked a fort night’s delay. Confusion among the conferees followed; Italy appeared inclined to support France; the British delegates were at a loss as to what to do next. Unrest in Constantinople as the treaty terms were made public followed by the announcement of the war office that British would evacuate the city if necessary, confident of being able to defend, the straits* and Mosul. I -I Paris, Jan. ill (Special to Daily | Democrat)—The French government is preparing a note to Germany notl-1 fying the latter of a now series of - more drastic measures that are to] be applied immediately in the occupied areas. The note also informed the Cuno government that a second and even more severe series will be i inflicted unless resistance to French occupation is ceased. Essen, Jan. 31—(Special to Daily Democrat) —Intensified state of siege was proclaimed today in ail Ruhr cities where French and Belgian troops, now under a single command, are stationed. The occupation of the Ruhr has settled down to a conflict over control of the railroads. Coal is choking the pitheads and smothering possibilities of further production. Unless it is moved soon, mining will have to cease. The French and Gormans sought to get rail transportation in working order through use of troops to run trainzj operate islignaJ towers find guard the main lines. findpartoF STOLEN SEED Four of the Thirteen Bags of Clover Seed Stolen at Monroe, Found Four of Hie thirteen bags of clover seed stolen from the elevator of the Monroe Grain Co., at Monroe early last Sunday morning, were found yes terday in a barn at Eitton.

The fellow turned away lend apparently thought he hail finish , i td the job. “Hyah Doc," the searcher said (o Dr. Comer of Mooresville, but the doc- ' tor was not able to recognize the man. After the search, all were orderec. I back into the car and the trolley wareplaced on the wire. One of the bandits went into the car, found n watch that a passenger had attempted to conceal under a cuspidor. One of the shots shattered the headlight on the car. The others entered i the front and rear ends of the car I without injuring any of the pasI sengers.

They expect him to arise at any moment, although pronounced dead a week ago by nine leading physi- ’ cians, and his body removed to the morgue, despite protests of his family that he was only sleeping. Since then, his body has been zealously guarded and the inquest has been postponed, the family and friends convinced that his present 1 state is not death. L .
