EXPECTS BONUS TO GO THROUGH Dr. Keene Tells of Capital Trip to Save Legion Home. Belief that congress will pass a bill providing additional bonus for all ex--ervice men, was axpressed by Dr. T. Victor Keene, in a talk before the Indianapolis Real Estate Board this afternoon. Dr. Keene returned yesterday from Washington where he and other Indianapolis men, attending a meeting of the national executive committee of the American Legion, made sure that Indianapolis will retain the national beadquart irs.

SHERIFF WON’T TALK OF JAIL (Continued From Page One.) will not meet until the vacancy is filled. So far county officials have taken no steps to co-operate with the federal court in its sweeping investigation of jail conditions. u. sTpayssheriff FAT PRISON FEES

(Continued From Page One.) Miller for his dereliction in the conduct of the county jail whenever he desires to do so, simply by making other arrangements for the care of federal prisoners. Whenever he does this the sheriff wilt lose a profit of approximately 40 cents a day on each prisoner, which is now accruing to the fund with which Miller expected to make his race for renorainatlon and election. The action of Judge Anderson in this Investigation recalls the investigation which he made of the jail Dec. 29, 19IP. when he learned that Hob Sloan, a federal prisoner, had been taken from the jail to Judge Collins’ court and bai there received a sentence to run “concurrently” with the sentence he won serving from the federal court. The following extracts of the report of that proceeding appeared In Ths. Times on that date: “In addition to telling Sheriff Dodson and Sheriff-elect Robert Miller, who was present as a spectator, that if they couldn't do it he would show them how to run a jail, the judge served notice on the city and county officials of a number of other Indiana cities 'o the effect that if they kept on covertly blocking the action of federal authorities they would get ‘up before the bar of this court, where no political pull and no power on earth will help them out.’ ” ECHOS OF INQUIRY INTO JAIL AFFAIRS. The session of court, which was convened for the specific purpose of going into criminal court affairs as regards interference with federal court affairs, was opened with a verbal report by L. Ert Slack on the result of his investigation of the Sloan case, and Alvah J. Rucker, their prosecuting attorney, was grilled by the court for the manner in which the criminal court was conducted under Judge Collins.. “ ‘Why, can it be possible that, when a man is sentenced down there, he really does go to Jail?’ asked the judge with evident sarcasm. •'Prosecutor Rucker gravely responded . “ ‘Yes, it does happen.’ “ ‘Why, of course, it was a mere farce, that sentence of Sloan's,' the judge declared. "'ln other words, the judge if the criminal court sat un there, and you knew, and he knew, that thirty days in jail under an arrangement of that kind was a mere farce, a mere farce.’ “Turning to Marshal Storen, the court asked if it wasn't true that the federal court always waited until state court sentences had expired before it took up cases against state court prisoners. Mr. Storen said it was. “ ‘Of course,’ continued the jurist, 'we' never attempt to interfere with your court,’ and he went on at length to show Just how serious a breach of comity the criminal court had committed. "'I haven’t any objection,' said Judge Anderson later, ‘except as a citizen, to the criminal court being a mere puppet show, but,’ and the judge’s face grew stern and his voice cutting, ‘when they ettempt to interfere with this court, it's a different matter.’ “ ‘lt’s difficult to convince, exceedingly difficult to convince people that a ninetyday jail sentence means ninety days. “‘They try to- get themselves made trusties, or to get out to go home and see their families, or work political pulls. “ ‘But I’ll show them that ninety days is ninety days.’ “Later he asserted: ‘This man is a notorious criminal, and you know it, and Judge Collins knows it, and yet be gets special favors,' and still later, ‘and for the criminal court of this county, through the manipulations of the prosecuting attorney and the defendant’s attorney, to arrange to take this man out of Jail and over to the courthouse and get him a phony sentence.’ ”

WOOD'S CL A IMS BRANDED FALSE Th“ claim f Hr ' -.ui.rrt Wood orgardzatlon to 11<5 delegates to the t hicago convention Is being vigorously con trndicted in the Indiana camps of Hither candidates for the republican nomination for the presidency. The following telegram was received ?r* m the national headquarters of Senator Hiram Johnson: ‘ The Wood claim to North Dakota and Minnesota is campaign fiction. "Senator Johnson was Indorsed by the regular republican organization and carried North Dakota. "He has ten pledged delegates from that state. "In the only other state so far holding a genuine primary, Gen. Wood has ten delegates—from South Dakota. “The Wood people, after arranging a trick primary with the aid of state organizations, was gloriously licked and Minnesota's delegation is almost solidly for Johnson.” James S. Baldwin, in charge of the Frank C. Lowden headquarters, states Gov. Lowden is the choice in seven states with 172 delegates and second choice in twelve states with 2C'2 delegates. The Harding organization disputes the claims of both Wood and Lowden, but makes no claims of its own concerning the number of delegates who will vote for its candidates. SURE THERE'S A DIFFERENCE Philip Zoercher, member of the tax board, has made a statement declaring that Dr. Carleton B. McCulloch', candidate for the democratic nomination for governor, has misstated the amounts of increase in taxation in various Indiana counties and quotes figures to show the errors. The only difference between the statements made by Mr. Zoercher and those made by Dr. McCulloch is that Mr. Zoercher is considering only state taxes while Dr. McCulloch refers to the total Increase in taxation.

FISKE PLAYS IN ANVIL CHORUS Says Daniels Deaf to Pleas for Preparedness. WASHINGTON, March 31.—Secretary of the Navy Daniels did not believe the United States would be Involved In the world war and refused to listen to pleas for preparedness, Read Admiral Bradley A. Fiske, formerly naval aide for operations, today told the senate committee Investigating the navy’s conduct of the war. “In the special case of the United States," Admiral Fiske said, "the reason the navy was unprepared lay in the mental and temperamental characteristics of the man at the head, and the policy pursued in consequence of those characteristics.” Besides differing with the secretary of the navy’s j reparedness question, Fiske also revealed he opposed the sectetary’s educational plan *.i the navy. He said the secretary’* attempt to "and *n ocratlze th; navy.” as it was termed, lowered the morale of the personnel. Fiske was asked what he would do to prevent unpreparedness in the future.
