HOUSE AGREES ON CONFERENCE COAL REPORT (Continued From Fp One.) , officers for their services instead of keep- ! ing them waiting for many years. Representative Charles Bidaman, Terre Haute, championed the bill. If the session should continue until tomorrow the bill will be called up on third reading and an efTort will be made to pass it as amended. Some members have attacked the motives behind the amendments, but Representative Mendenhall claims the motives are honest. kiper bill SENT TO HOUSE. Following an agreement of the senate, the Kiper tax “cure" bill was transmitted to the house, although an agreement has not been reached on the Johnson "home rule” bill. The Kiper bill has been held up in the senate for several days with the understanding that the bill would not be sent to the house until the conferees decided , to accept the Johnson "home rule” bill j as amended by the senate giving the local taxing units complete tax levying j and bond issuing powers. The decision of the senate to dispatch the bill to the house allows Speaker Eschbsch to appoint members of ibe j bouse to confer with a senate committee ; on the Kiper bill. It also appears to have decreased the : tension and ill feeling in the lower house because of the arbitrary action of the senate In holding up the bill. ESCHBACH WANTED TO ACT LAST SATURDAY. Speaker Eschbach was anxious to pat the Kiper bill in conference last Saturday afternoon in the hope that the committee could have agreed by yesterday afternoon. As It was both houses accomplished nothing of vital importance yesterday afternoon, which did not aid in causing friendly feelings between the two houses Tt Is apparent that the conferees soon will be able to report definitely on the war memorial bill and it is thought that the Joint conference committee probably will agree on the SC 000.000 appropriation as passed by the house. The senate amended the war memorial bill by making possible a mill tax, which the senators claimed would yleid over 53.000.000. but which the house maintains would yield over $0,000,000. Many senators on their return to Indianapolis. after spending Sunday at home, stated that their constituents were against any appropriation larger thitn $3,000,000 and in some instances they were against any appropriation by means of a special tax for erecting a war memorial in Indianapolis. The Johnson “home rule” bill remains one of the big questions, but it is thought there will be an agreement reached soon on this Important measure. The Johnson “home rule” bill has become a campaign issue, with Lieut. Got. Bush championing the home rule bill and at the same time making much political thunder for the benefit of Warren T. McCray, republican nominee for governor. McCray favors home rule as provided in the amendments made by the senate to the Tuthill t>ill and the McCray republicans are insisting that the amended Johnson bill will lessen the load for McCray during the campaign. It is admitted McCray can not afford to shoulder the burdens of the blunders of the state tax board and It is freely pointed out that if the legalizing measure as passed by the house should be adopted by the senate, that McCray’s burdens would be increased threefold. HOUSE TILT SHOWS LAY OF THE LAND. Lieut. Gov. Bush always has stood for home rule and he appears to have the backing of the senate, but it is admitted the senate’s action in threatening to hold up the Kiper substitute tax bill until the conference committee on the Johnson bill agreed to favor the senate amendments to the home rule bill, has not increased the “brotherly love” spirii between the lower and the upper house. * This was shown iate yesterday when Minority Floor Leader Barker challenged the roll call to establish a quorum. After some discussion, it was shown that the clerk had made no mistake in taking the roie call and that a quorum was present. “Os course I take it that the minority floor leader does not question the chair for the purpose of inferring that the chair would stack a roll call,” said Speaker Eschbach. “I would rather recess the house for ten days than resort to such tactics.” Mr. Barker explained that he was satisfied that a quorum was present and called upon the house speedily to take action to end the session. "The gentleman has been reading the papers and knows the nature of the deadlock between the two bouses as well as the chair,” said the speaker. Mr. Barker suggested the doors be locked to maintain a quorum until the conferees agreed. Mr. Eschbach stated that he was of the opinion that there were no rules to force a joint conference committee to report and maintained that “locking the doors would not cause any member of a conference committee to raange his honest opinion and convictions.” Members of both houses were Insisting that every member get down to actual business and end the special session some time tonight. BUSH CALLS A HALT ON MINOR MEASURES Several bills of minor importance were passed by the senate yesterday, following the week-end adjournment. So numerous w-re unimportant mp.asurea called for third reading and passage by member* of the upper house, that Lieut.-Gov. Edgar r>. Mush request - ed that the activities of the senate be confined to emergency matters if possible. House bill No. 508, providing for tae printing of ballots for elections, carried by a vote of 34 to 1. The bill provides that in the printing of ballots for those precincts in which roting machines are used, the board of election commissioners shall not order printed one and one-fourth ballots for each voter, as Is now the law, but shall print only such number as in their Judgment Is deemed necessary. Senate bill No. 353. providing for amendment of the three-mile gravel road law to permit substitution of gravel when crushed stone is specified, or vice versa. Introduced by Senator Joseph Cravens, passed by a vote of 34 to 1. House bill No. 56. providing that salaries of officials of all cities which have risen to anew classification under the 1920 census be qot reduced and that the law be retroactive to date of such new status, passed by a vote of 26 to 8. The chairman of the senate announced that Senator Edward B. James *of Dana would succeed Senator Munton of Kendalvllle on the memorial bill conference committee, and the other appointments tentatively announced Saturday would be confirmed. Senator Munton was absent yesterday. SENATE REFUSES TO PASS M'KIN LEY BILL The senate has refused to concur In the house McKinley bill designed to compel wholesale houses to sell goods to cooperative stores. The bill, called up for third reading yesterday by- Senator McKinley. Muncie. failed of passage for want of a majority, the vote standing 17 ayes and 18 nocs. Senator W. E. Bowers. Allen county, started the debate on It immediately following its third reading, when he launched a bitter attack, calling the measure a “nasty btlL” “The measure Is designed wholly,” said

Rather Than Boost Wage , Splender of Mansion Is Let Go CHICAGO, July 27.—The mansion of Ida Mary Case, requiring twelve maids to maintain its splendor, is going by the boards. The capitulation came because servant girls demanded increased pay.

Senator Bowers, “to put small retailers out of business.” Senator Fred Masters. Marion county, declared that the biil would merely result in one law suit after another and would be the cause of numerous injunction cases. “The bill is Impossible,” said Senator Masters. Following a third attack on the measure by Senator Furnas of Randolph county, who declared that, by the provisions of the measure, any little co-operative store could sell automobiles, after another firm bad spent thousands of dollars in advertising the car. Senator | James J. Nedjl. Lake county, came to j the bill’s defense. “We hare been asked to enact legislation to prevent profiteering in coal and various foodstuffs, and now on this bill which would stop profiteering of other sorts, there are all sorts of attacks made,” said Senator Nedjl. Considerable effort was put forth to j obtain votes for the bill, but after the roll hr.d been called several times with ; no change in the result, the bill was declared lost. NEW PLATOON BILL OFFERED Because of the refusal of Gov. Goodrich to approve of the bill providing for two platoon systems for firemen in all cities having organized fire departments, anew bill was introduced today by Senator Alfred B. Hogston, Marlon, to provide such a system in all cities of a population of 15.000 or more. Senator Hogston explained the bill presented by him today and the one presented by him and which was passed by both houses were identical, with the exception that the bill would apply only to cities of 15,000 or more. Considerable pressure was brought to bear on Gov. Goodrich in an effort to induce him to approve of the hill as passed by l-oth houses, it is understood. The governor, however, refused to sign the measure because, he stated. It would work a hardship on many of the smaller cities of the state. Under suspension of the rules, the new bill passed the senate by a vote of 35 to 1. and now goes to the lower house. It is understood the governor will approve of the bill as amended. House bill No. 883, providing for nddiiional clerical help in county offices in certain caces, passed as the first business to be transacted by the senate on the fourteenth day of the special session. by a vote of 33 to 4. The senate also passed senate gilt No. 412. prescribing rates of Interest to be paid on bonds and temporary loan*, affecting Marion and Lake counties. Efforts to defeat this bill were made hy several senators on the ground that Marlon county had had too many special bills put through at this session. In the order in which they were introduced. motions to make the bill a special order of business at 3 o’clock this afternoon, and to postpone the bill indefinitely, were lost. The bill passed by a vote of 27 to 10. The bill which provides for correction of the law covering salaries of certain towushlp assessors, was reported out of committee without recommendation. The action of the committee leaves to the discretion of the senate what action is to be taken on the bill.

OPINIONS CONFLICT ON WHEN SESSION QUITS Conflicting estimates ns to nn early adjournment exist today In the senate and house. With an early agreement on the Johnson home rule hill, which is now In the hands of a conference committee, members of the house are prone to believe a sine die adjournment can be reached today. Representative Charles L. Mendenhall, chairman of the house conference committee on the Johnson bill, believes that the senate and house committees will agree today. “Circumstances have prevented the [ committee from getting together," he said. ; _"lt does not seem Improbable that the ! committee will agree at the first ses- ! slon.” Representative Mendenhall would say | nothing as to his opinion regarding the | outcome of the conference committee agreement. SAYS SOLONS will ' AD JO CRN SOON. Speaker Kschbach today declared that : it was “entirely probable that the legis- : lature would adjourn soon.” ! “There are three big bills pending at i the present time,” he said. “Conference committees are working on . two of them. I “While a committee has not been apj pointed to confer on the third, it Is probable that, with agreement and notion on i the bills which are now before conference committees, the measures can be disposed of in short order.” The important hills which are now before the committees are the Johnson home rule bill and the war memorial bill. The Klper substitute bill for the Tuthill legalizing bill will be assigned later ; to a conference commltttee unless the house agrees to the Ktper measure. The county unit road bill also remains to be acted upon by the conference committee. The action taken by the committee considering the coal commission bill had not been reported in the senate at noon today. The views of several of the boils'" members are not shared by leading members of the senate as to the time of possible adjournment. NEGLEY WON’T GIVE OPINION. When asked when. In his opinion, the legislature would adjourn, Senator Harry E. Negley, president pro tem. declared he knew as little about that as any one outside the assembly. "What do you think of the possibility of adjournment tonight, as expressed by other members”? he was asked. “With four conference cofcmittees still out, I don’t see how they can finish up today,” he replied. “We still have the greater part of the emergency matters to consider, and then there are other hills in the hands of committees that must be considered before we adjourn. “I see no chance to finish up today.” Senator Alfred Hogston of Marlon, while optimistic, gave the Impression that the senate could not conclude Its work today. All, however, seem to agree tentatively that the present week would see the final adjournment of the special session. HOUSE AMENDS CONTRACT BILL Amendments have been added to the Duffey senate bill providing for payment on DO per cent of construction or repair work on roads, when completed, making the bill provide for payment on 80 peS cent of the work. The bill passed the senate by a vote of 30 ayes and 7 noes. Another amendment was also added by the house, to provide that no contractor shall be paid in full for his work without written consent of his surety. Efforts to suspend the rules for passage of the bill were unsuccessful In the

BILL FOR TEACHERS' PAY PASSED BY HOUSE House bill No. 553, introduced by Representative Laiigblin, was returned from the senate today with several minor amendments. The measure, with the changes, was accepted by the lower house. The bill provides for wage rates to be paid teachers, based on their general average of examinations, with subsidiary provisions. TWO BILLS ACTED ON BY HOUSE Two bills were passed by the lower house today. Representative Rothrock's bl 11 giving salaries provided by law to officials ot cities which have risen to a higher class was passed by the house, together with the amendment proposed by the senate. In the original bill provisions were made to Include cities of the first, second and third classe*. The adopted amendment lucludes also cities of the fourth class. GOODRICH SIGNS fBLUE SKY' BILL Indiana now has a blue sky law. Gov. Goodrich signed the Symons- j Givans measure making it a penalty for any stock salesman to distribute for sale shares of stock in Illegitimate schemes, as passed by the lower house and amended by the senate. By the terms of the bill, it becomes effective Aug. 1, 1920. Gov. Goodrich also signed house bill No. 518. reducing park hoard levies of second class cities from present range of 10 to 20 cents to anew range of 5 to 10 cents. Senate Joint resolution No. 44. directs the attorney general to take control of 3.300 acres of state land in Kankakee marsh in Starke and I.aporte counties also has been signed by Gov. Goodrich. KIPER SUBSTITUTE UP TO HOUSE The lower bouse this afternoon was prepared to consider the Kiper substitute tax bill which was passed by the! senate. It was certain that the house could never agree on the substitute bill from the floor of the house and it was certain that the mesure will go to a Joint I conference of members from both house*. “It will be decided in conference and ; I know that the Kiper bill will not be ; substituted for the Tuthill legalizing | bill,” one republican member of the •lower house said previously to the begin-ining-of the afternoon session. If the house insists on standing by the Tuthill legalizing act probably it j will prolong the session and yet In aU of this confusion it is certain the ad- ! ministration can not afford to have the 1 special session run three or four more | days at an expense of about $1,500 a day. It is pointed out that the Kiper sub- ; stltute idli meets with the approval of ! :he Goodrich administration and it is predicted that the Glodrlch republicans in the house will rally to the administration’s auppost to put over the Kiper MU ns passed by the Rennte. The Kiper bill provides fro the establishment of county boards of review *o reconsider, reassess and equalize the valuations made under the order of the state tax board on Aug. 23, 1919, and providing for a refund of excess taxes paid due to the horizontal increases.

22,500 MEN OF INDIANA FIELD ARE OUT TODAY {Continued From I>age One.) win this one wlthou a general strike and without federal Intervention. Lewis’ friends make the flat charge that Farrington and Harry Fishwlck, the Illinois president and vice president, brought about the Illinois “insurrection” to discredit Lewis and defeat his administration. They are bitter against the Illinois operators who consented to open negotiations with the Illinois district chiefs without notifying the national coal operators’ association or the national headquarters of the miners’ union. ALL WHEELS WILL STOP IN TEN DAYS OF STRIKE CHICAGO, July 27.—Starving for coal, the nation’s industries will lapse Into unconsciousness before another ten days of unauthorized strikes of coal miners, E. C. Soarles, president of the Illinois Coal Operators’ association, unreservedly predicted today. Coal authorities throughout the middle west today concurred In the opinion that Illinois, Indiana and Kansas mines strikes threaten “the most serious situation the country has faced Industrially.” Reports early today Indicated the strike was spreading. Further deflections In Indiana and Kansas mines were reported. lowa operators were to confer tomorrow regarding the proposal of miners that a joint conference be held to consider the wage question in hopes of averting strikes in that field. Authorities declaring the strike stream sweeping eastward anticipated it would break into flood volume before the weekend. "The available supply ranges from two days to ten days,” Bearles said today. “Railroads and some public utilities have the largest supplies. “Car shortages and transportation tangles have prevented any one laying In the large stocks usually prepared for winter. “The car shortage has curtailed production. “There is nothing the operators can do but insist the miners comply with the contracts. “We have laid the situation before President Wilson and now await his action. "We made no recommendations, hut fully outlined what condition faces the country. “Any Increase granted miners naturally will increase the price fur our contract business.” t He said p.t> was not able to estimate

' “They 1 understand, have no j ower to act, but merely investigate the conditions and make a report,” be said, indicating the crux of the situation would be reached before action could be hoped for on the report. John McCardle, vice-chairman of the Indiana public service commission, today said utilities there have only five days' supply. E. J. Wallace, former chairman of the southwestern regional coal commission, declared “many industries may be forced to close uuless tho strike is ended quickly." Predictions were made that unless tbs strike terminates quickly fuel .’amine faces the nation for winter months because of the inability of the large consumers to follow their customary prnc tiee of laying in supplies (luring the summer. HUGE CALUMET STEEL PLANTS FACE CLOSING CHICAGO, July 27.—As the strike of day mine workers which began in Illinois continued Its spnead to coal fields of Indiana, Kansas. Michigan and Ohio, threatening the country's winter supply of fuel, the great steel industries lu the Calumet district about Chicago and northern Indiana faced the prospect of abutting down their plants, which would throw between 00,0(X) and 70,000 men out of employment. The utteutlon of Illinois coal operators today was directed toward Washington, where the interstate commerce comrnis slon continues its efforts to untangle the car shortage, and toward New York, where Attorney General Palmer held con ferences with coal operators and bus! ne* men. The Illinois operators are firm in their belief that present plJfSs to give priority of car supply to mines will go far toward relieving the present crisis, if backed up by the interstate commerce commission. These operators point out that If the miners will abide by their contract# they will have no difficulty la supplying all the coal needed for the country's requirements. In the Calumet steel region about Chicago the fuel situation was described today as the most serious in years. The South Chicago plant of the TUI nols Steel Company faces an Immediate shutdown unless It can get coal. This plant alnDo employs 11.000 men. Curtailments today for-ed some of thenmen to idleness, and it was said in reports from the company's offices that approximately 3.000 men might be laid off today. Other plants in the district facing shutdowns unless they can get coal immediately are th<* Wisconsin Steel Company. the By-Products Coke Company of Mouth Chicago and various pUnt* in Gary. East Chicago and Indiana Harbor. Ind. Tho minis Public Utilities Company took a hand In the Illinois situation to- | dav. Chairman James H. Wilkerson of the i commission intimated that if the inter- : state commerce commission fails to act todny drastic steps will be taken by the Illinois commission.

GOVERNMENT ACTION AWAITS CONFERENCE I WASHINGTON, July 27.—The govern- | ment’s next step In the coal crisis 1 hinges upon the outcome of the conferj ence held in New York between Attorney- ; General Palmer and coni operators and ! business men. | The attorney-general is expected to , make a report on the situation and the result of today's conference before the president takes any further notion. The Interstate commerce commission Is continuing Its efforts to untangle the car shortage, and further priority orders are expected * to be forthcoming from time to time. Reports from Illinois that department of labor conciliators had failed to settle the labor difficulties were received with some disappointment here, but officials of the department of labor were hopeful that the efforts of tho conciliators might still he of avail. There were some Indications here today that the government might, follow the suggestion of the mlneworkcrs that ; they be allowed to confer with the operi ators and negotiating a settlement of 1 the demands of the "shift” laborers, j irrespective of the award of the bituminous • onl commission. An optimistic report, was Issued from the headquarters of the National Coal association today by declaring “no alarm need be felt by the public as to a coal famine,” if plans evolved by the operators are carried out. These plans comprehend an increase of 25 per cent in open top car supply, priority in soft coal shipments to Great Lakes ports In the northwest, and Intricate plans for car distribution. COAL EMBARGO NOW POSSIBLE NEW TORE, July 27.—An emergency embargo on all exports of bituminous coal was In sight today pending the decision of si conference between Attorney General Palmer and local operators on Us advisability. Tbe attorney general called the operators Into conference hero to determine whether such drastic action In the soft coal market would alleviate the shortage in the middle west. If the coal operators advise the a.torney general that an embargo is necessary, Mr. Palmer, It was stated, will then recommend such action to President Wilson. DEATH NOT DUE TO PAREGORIC.

WOMAN’S STORY PUTS DOUBT ON MURDER CAUSE (Continued From Page One.) and had been in the army at one time. Mrs. Trumbull's statement that she had met Mrs. Leroy on June 9 and that Mrs. Leroy had told her then she had decided to tell her husband she was going to leave him leads the police to believe the murder was committed that night when Leroy raised the fuss Mrs. Leroy expected as a result of telling him she was returning to Alabama. Detectives also believe the murder occurred at 105 Harper avenue, although no bloodstains have been discovered or no evidence of a crime found. Mrs. Marie Trumbull, who has provided Detroit police with most of their Information regarding Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Leroy, has left for New York, where she will attempt to Identify the body of the woman found in the death trunk shipped from here as that of Mrs. Eugene Leroy. In the meantime police are investigating the movements of a man who registered at the Henry Clay hotel here several times during February and March of this year under the name of E. R. Armengal. The police theory is that this name was another of Leroy’s reported aliases. Armengal worked at the Detroit Steel Products Company. Descriptions of his appearance coincide closely with descriptions of Leroy, it is said. He had a reputation for being a “ladles' man,” attendants at the hotel say. * The police expected to link Armengal definitely with Leroy through the tracing of telegram sent or received by the former on Feb. 16. This telegram, it 1s believed, was to or from Katherine Jackson.

2,000 Watch Fire and Forget Alarm MINNEAPOLIS, July 27.—Nearly 2,000 persons watching fire destroy a warehouse here w-ere so Interested they forgot to turn in an alarm. Damage estimated at $15,000 was done before firemen discovered the blaze. V ' was under way by local detectives today, following the story told by a Pullman employe on the Michigan Central railroad that the description of one of the-pas-sengers who arrived here on his car Monday morning tallied in detail with published descriptions of Leroy. As the result of the employe’s story, the Chicago police sent telegrams to every railroad center west of Chicago asking the police to search west-bound trains for this passenger, who said he was on his way to the Pacific coast. The man was accompanied by i woman, whose description also was given by the employe and telegraphed throughout the west by the police. ,“The man caine through on the train from Montreal,” said C. C. Finley. “In Canada he appeared to be afraid of the customs officials passing through the train and seemed relieved when told who they were. “ ‘l’ve got to watch these police guys.' he said. ‘They’re after me all over the country.' “He seemed to be very nervous and couldn’t sleep all night." The description of the passenger given by Finley was of a man between 23 and 25 years, about 5 feet 10 inches in height, of slender build, and having a swarthy Complexion, black, oily hair brushed straight back, a high, bulging forehead, and a “rat-like” face.
