HOUSE PASSES THREE BILLS

STATE INSTITUTIONS WILL BE RELIEVED OF PRESSING STRINGENCY. ‘ Indianapolis, July 14.—While the Indiana house of representatives । kept the legislative wheels turning today and passed three bills on to the senate, the upper house became stalled in a parliamentary jumble, and was unable to take final action on any of the pending legislation of the special session of- the general assembly. House Passes Three. The house gave its final approval under a suspension of the rules, to the bill appropriating funds for the maintenance of state institutions until September 30, the close of the present fiscal year. This bill was passed without a dissenting vote. The second bill approved gives the public service commission authority to order railroads to provide, 100 per cent car service to coal mines with which the state has fuel contracts. This bill passed, 75 to 18, after the rules had been suspended. The house also passed by unanimous vote the bill of Representative James Southard, republican, of Laporte county, amending the registration law so that the registration of voters will be permanent unless they move from the precinct in which they reside. Obstruction In Senate.

Attempts at the afternoon session of the senate to suspend the rules and finally pass upon a number of bills reported favorably from committees were futile. Democratic members of the upper house, assisted by Senator Luke W. Duffy, republican, of Indianapolis, voted against suspending the rules and their 17 votes were enough to beat the constitutional two-thirds necessary for suspension. - An agreement was reached between party leaders, however, later under which the democrats will agree to a suspension of the rules tomorrow in order to pass a bill drawn up by a non-partisan committee providing for changes at the fall election if the federal suffrage amendment is ratified by that time. To Shut Off Bill*. Hoping to shut off the introduction of further bills in the senate, Senator Arthur D. McKinley, republican, of Muncie, introduced a motion today to discontinue the introduction of rfew measures after today’s session. Following objections by both republicans and democrats, Senator McKinley changed his motion so that the limitation would be imposed tomofrow instead of today. His motion was then referred to the rules committee where favorable action is expected* The house has a tentative agreement to discontinue consideration of bills introduced after today. • With the legislation now on hand leaders in both houses say it will be impossible to end the special ses-, sion before Tuesday or Wednesday of next week. Carrie* SBOO,OOO. The appropriation bill passed today by the house carries a total of approximately SBOO,OOO. Th l ® amount is for institutions which

have exhausted their appropriations. The bill also legalizes the action of the state finance board m aflvancing money out of the general fund of the state treasury to the institutions to meet unpaid maintenance bills incurred in 1918 and 1919. ' Override Committee. Before disposing of the appropriation bills, the house passed to second reading the bill of Representative Harry E. Rowbottom, republican, of Evansville, proposing the abolishment of the public service commission. A majority report recommended indefinite postponement of the bill, while a minority report signed by Representatives 8. C Diem, democrat, of New Albany, and Claude A. Smith, republican, of Princeton, recommended its passage. After a lively debate in which Representative Smith said the public had come to the conclusion that it was a "rate raising . the minority report was substituted for the majority report by a rising vote of 49 to 32. Representative D. M. Vezey, of Ft Wayne, ™»®e a short speech in favor of the majority report. He held no brief for the commission, but he believed action on this measure should be deferred untal a regular session of the assembly.

LEGION DAY A BIG SUCCESS

ALL SEEMED TO BE ANXIOUS TO HELP WITH WORTHY ENTERPRISE. The spirit of good fellowship and liberality was shown by the large crowd of people who visited this city Wednesday evening to enjoy the band concert and the many attractions offered under the auspices of the Woman’s Auxiliary to the American Legion. The merchants of the city had pledged 5% of their gross sales Wednesday to the women, and the people of the vicinity took an active part in planning attractions, and the sale of ice cream and other articles. Three shows were given by. the Tri Kapas and it is understood that the receipts were about SIOO. The ladies selling ice cream had gross sales amounting to about $225. The ' coffee, sandwich and doughnut booths had receipts amounting to $36.. The ice cream cone booth made x sales to the amount of $36. The lemonade booth receipts amounted to $47. The other attractions were most liberally patronized and there seemed to be a desire on the part of all to make the occasion a financial success. We have been unable to get definite figures, but it seems quite sure that the gross receipts will amount to more than S7OO. The women of the auxiliary are proud of their success and of the fact that all are so anxious to help in the effort to do something substantial for the boys of the American Legion.

WINONA RECEIVES A GREAT GIFT

This is Winona’s year for great things. Who can doubt it? A fine generous friend dumped into the lap of Winona a gift of such ample proportions that the great Ministerial Summer School and Bible school with a faculty of master minds, headed by Dr. G. Campbell Morgan and Dr. Chadwick was declared free of tuition to all ministers, teachers and laymen. The gift makes it possible for all ministers who have come to feel the need of an intensive period of training, for mental re-invigoration and spiritual refreshment to receive this instruction free and in addition to bask in delights of the Summer resort and rub elbows with the great summer crowds. The laymen will receive the view of Biblical truth and applied religion from trained theological pedagogues. ' . . , It is to be hoped that the endowment idea will be as catching as the “Flu,” for it the idea takes root the scope of the instruction at the popular summer resort will be unsurpassed anywhere in the world. Winona is doing her share in keeping Indiana to the forefront m this day of- political topheaviness. One sure thing—Winona is doing a great piece of advertising for Indiana and right now stands second to none in keeping" this great old state in the limelight and on the map of public notice and attention.

AIR COOLING

is now recognized as the one feature all successful light cars of the future must incorporate. That is the logical place to reduce weight. Nearly all big companies are experimenting along these lines. It has been made public that at least two concerns are spending millions in an attempt to perfect a new air cooled engine. We are glad to see them coming to it. ... j It’s more proof that we are lined up right for a prosperous future. The Franklin threw the first ball from the stand in 1902 when they announced they would build only light o weight air cooled cars. That gives us an eighteen year handicap. Personally we are for air cooling /from engines to lace hose and peek-a-boo waists).

INDIANA LEAGUE WOMEN VOTERS

WILL CARRY ON NO ACTIVITY IN CONNECTION WITH SPECIAL SESSION. Mrs. Ora Thompson Ross, chairman of the 10th district for the League of Women Voters, attended the meeting of the state board in Indianapolis on the 13th. She reports her district in the lead in the campaign of organization with 16 chapters organized. The 12th district is second with 8 chapters. Lake county is the banner county with 7 chapters, Jasper County holds third place with 5. The activities of the League will now be especially directed toward getting out the women to- register and to vote, and to giving them a political education. The Indiana League of Women Voters will probably not carry on any activity m connection with the special legislative session, according to opinions expressed by the majority of the board members of the organization, including Mrs. A. H. Beardsley, Elkhart, president. The board of directors was in session all day Tuesday at the Claypool hotel. The discussion of legislative matters took place at that time. “This is a special session for special purposes,” Mrs. Beardsley said, “and while we are all interested in the purposes,they do not particularly concern our organization, so I believe we shall not advance anything.

We shall begin our preparations soon for the next regular session.” For Handling Woman Vote. Provision for handling the woman vote is to be made by the legislature, according to Goyernof Goodrich’s outline, but this is a mechanical matter and the women suffragists will leave it in the hands of the men whose business it, is to see that it is handled correctly. The status of the federal suffrage amendment was discussed, and it was the general opinion that ratification will be completed by August 10, since the Tennessee and North Carolina legislatures are to meet August 9 and 10. Organisation Affairs. The morning was given over to a discussion of organization affairs. Miss Roberta Stahr, Elkhart, executive secretary, reported sixty-eight leagues organized and twelve more ready to organize. The banner counties are Lake, with seven leagues; LaGrange, with six; Jasper, with five; and Jefferson, with four. The eighth and thirteenth districts have complete lists of county chairmen. Every district except the eleventh has some county chairmen. The report of Mrs. L. J. Cox, of Terre Haute, treasurer, which was read by Miss Stahr, announced the balance on hand July 1 as 11,499.97, with 1400 paid on the national

pledge. It was announced that Mrs. Mildred Siminton, of Elkhart, had been appointed a state organizer. Resicna Because of Illness. Mrs. J G. McNutt, Indianapolis, treasurer, has resigned because of illness. A telegram of WP*™* was sent to MW. L. J. Cox, because of the death of Mr. Cox yesterday. The following women were present: Mrs. Beardsley, Miss Sthr, Mrs. John C. Boss, Mrs. Perry L. Beck, Elkhart; Mrs. Homer McCray, Kendallville; Mrs. W. A.Overstreet, Thorntown; Mra <E. R.
