House Democrats inquired if this was one of the bills drawn by 'the five best lawyers In Indiana" as the Republicans have claimed regarding their' reform measures Introduced in the house. But Knapp then went ahead with the roll call vote pud Denton's motion was beaten by two voles. The bill then went to the passage stage on a voice vote. A short time later the Republican liquor bill came out on the amendment stage. Rep. Glenn Markland, Zionsville Republican ; who sponsored it, read several “corrective” amendments which several Democrats said they could not understand. Rep. Irving Garniti, South Bend Democrat, moved that the bill be reprinted and several sections rearranged to eliminate some duplications and other errors. The Republicans yelltd this down iu a voice vote. Rep. Edward Stein. Democratic flftor leader, then remarked: "We realize that the 51 per cent club is here in full force today and the bill is going to be shoved down our throats. So as far as we are concerned you don’t need to bother to explain the amendments.” Stein's reference to the 51 per cent club meant the Republican house majority of 51 members compared to the Democrats' 49. At this point Knapp recessed ' the house until 2 p. m. with the liquor bill still under discussion. The senate had a quiet session | today considering many minor I bills on second leading. The senators did kill a bill which would have prohibited the use of daylight saving time anywhere in Indiana.

SERIOUS FLOOD FEARS ALLAYED Ohio Valley Flood Waters Near Crest; 44,000 Homeless Louisville, Ky , Feb. B—(U.PJ8 —(U.PJ— The seasonal flood in the Ohio Valley edged slowly within a few inches of its crest here today and was expected to begin receding within 12 hours. Rain choked tributaries throughout eastern Kentucky were reported subsiding. Meteorologists said river stages also were dropping throughout the valley north of Louisville. The liver reached a crest of 18.08 feet—B.oß feet above flood stage —at Cincinnati last night. The crest was expected to reach danger zones in the Evansville, Ind.,, area tomorrow but prospects of a severe cold wave, moving eastward from the Rockies, allayed fears of a serious flood. l\ S. Forecaster H. A. Downs at Chicago said the cold had tumbled temperature! to zero levels throughout the Dakotas and lowa and will overspread the lower Ohio valley tomorrow, counteracting flood conditions. The expected cold wave raised hopes throughout communities still waiting the flood crest but homeless families looked forward to it with despair. The Red Cross estimated that 44,000 persons were homeless in West Virginia. Kentucky, Ohio and southern Indiana — approximately 20,000 of them in eastern Kentucky along the Ohio, Licking, Upper Cumberland and Big Sandy rivers. Mrs. Sheridan Connally, Red Cross director ill eastern Kentucky. re ported two deaths each in Lee and Mfddlehoro counties. Sh< said reports thai flash floods may h(\ve caused widespread deaths in mountain districts were “grossly exaggerated ." The Kentucky health department immunized refugees against typhoid. Officials said disease was at a minimum throughout the stricken area. A few isolated cases of typhoid and numerous influenza eases were reported Coast guardsmen at Louisville emphasized that flood dangers were lessening throughout the state. They said they had received no calls for assistance for several days. The river stage at Louisville was 35 feet - seven feet above

(lie executive department appropriation under which these institutions are listed totals only $15,034,026, a decrease of $3,300,032. Appropriations for the four state colleges under this bill would be increased $1,180,000, accounting for a jump in the education department expenditures. Higher enrollments at the schools necessitated greater operating costs. Edward Brennan, chief examiner of tile state hoard of accounts, said the hill would contain other major appropriations as follows: $27,800,000 to pay state aid to teachers. $500,000 for an institutional contingency fund as a saieguard in case the 10 per cent cut in operating expenses caused shortages of such items as food and fuel. $1,000,000 to be distributed to counties to aid in paying their welfare costs for the last halt ol 1930 under provisions of a bill enacted by last summer's special session. largely responsible for the executive department decrease is removal of a »2,255,000 fund for institutional building.

Flood danger from the swollen Ohio river along southern Indiana was minimized today by reports from various cities and towns that Ihe crest of high water was passing and that predicted cold weather would offset a further 1 rise. The forecast was for cloudy and much colder weather. Less than 100 Indiana families were made homeless by flood water Imt the inundation along the Ohio and its tributaries covered many highways and forced farmers, city riverfront residents and merchants to take precautions Meteorologists indicated the Ohio crest would pass the southwestern tip of Indiana by tomorrow night. The river readied 58 feet on the Aurora gauge and rc- | tnained almost stationary today. ) This mark was 23 feet under the • flood record of 1937 and two feet under (he 1936 flood. 1 The crest of the Ohio at Evansville was expected to be reached j late today at 45 feet.

MISS PERKINS DEFENDS SELF Secretary Os Labor Defends Her Conduct In Office Washington, Feb. 8. — (U.R) Secretary of I-a bar Frances Per- i kins today defended her conduct ! In office before a secret session of tho house judiciary committee, which is considering a resolution for her impeachment. Chairman Hatton W. Sumners. 1) . Texas, ordered spectators from the room. Miss Perkins, accused by Rep J. Parnell Thomas, R., N. J., of failing to enforce the deportation lows in the Harry Bridges and Joseph Strecker cases, was accompanied by labor department solicitor Gerard D. Reilly. He also was named iu the impeachment resolution. Before the closed session Miss Perkins made a brief statement to i newspaper men. She said she appreciated the committee's courtesy in hearing her and the “judic- 1 ial atmosphere” in which it was conducting the hearings. “I am not a lawyer —” she added, but Sumners broke in with “that's enough.” He then ordered the hearing room cleared of every one not connected with the committee. F. D. R. RAISES (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) i "human decency" forbade reducing relief rolls this winter. From his press conference came i a letter to Judge Roberts of the western Virginia federal district court whose nomination to that of live the senate rejected 72-to-9. Roberts was defeated because Sens. Glass and Harry F. Byrd, I)., Va , both informed the senate judiciary committee that the nomination was personally offensive or obnoxious to them. The president has two feasible alternatives now. He may leave the post vacant or he may send up another nomination which is expected to be fully as offensive if not more so to Glass and Byrd 1 as was that of Judge Roberts. Ilis j letter emphasized that no challenge

was made against Roberts' integrity or ability, but merely that he was offensive to the senators in whose state the job in question happened to lie. The president indirectly gave the senate a lecture on the prerogj atives of the executive to tnak" nominations. He said Glass' statement to the committee that he had failed to answer questions raised ' by the senator in respect to the nominations does "not square with the facts.' Glass had written domanding to know if Gov. James It. Price of Virginia—a new dealer — hail been given veto powers over iederal patronage from that state. Glass and Byrd are conservative anti-new dealers. Challenging Glass directly, Mr. Roosevelt told Roberts that the 'senator had stated that: "As a matter of fact, the president of the United States did give to the governor of Virginia the veto power over nominations made by the two Virginia United States senators.” The president added that he was sorry Glass had made such a statement which "I can only excuse on the ground of anger or forgetfulness.''
