REPORT KAISER TO' LEAVE HOLLAND Dispatches Recounting Plot for Coup Cause Stir in Paris. MAY MOVE TO CORFU PARIS, Jan. IS.—A sensation was created here today by a report printed in the Matin that the ex-Kaiser and the German Crown Prince hare been requested by the Dutch government to lave Holland because of their actlv Intercourse with army officers suspected of plotting a revolution to restore the German monarchy. The report Is without official confirmation, but It has revived talk of the possibility that the former Emperor and tb/f former Crown Prince may be placed trial by the allies. / The Matin's dispatch was from Strasbourg and the correspondent claimed to have secured his information from an authentic source. After Constantine returned to Athens reports were current that the Dutch government was getiDg restive over the constant stream of visitors to Doorn and It was declared that the ex-Kalser might shift hi* exile to Corfu, where he owned a splendid castle before the war. If the former war lord Is really ousted from Holland and Is not allowed to go to Corfu e may make Switzerland the seat of his t iture exile, although it is understood that the Swiss government is getting n.iXious about the possible revolutionary activities of Charles, former Emperor of Austria. The serious illness of the ex-kalser offered an excellent opportunity for German visitors to cloak the real purpose of their visit. Numerous German personages have visited Doorn. There have been recent reports that General Ludendorff wan involved In monarchist activities in Germany, and it wia pointed out that some of the officers who visited Doorn may have been couriers from .Ludendorff. BERLIN EXCITED OVER REPORTS BERLIN, Jan. IS.—Berlin was excited today over reports from the Hague that the former German kaiser had been requested to leave Doorn because of his part In an alleged mi narchlst plot to restore the Ilohenzolierns to power. Reports here said there was no indication that preparations had been made to obey. One version of the plots was that the crown prince would make a surprise entry into Berlin at the head of loyal monarchist soldiers. Radical papers here apparently beLUeveJ the reports and commented on 'oer'-tion of the party and other organizations favorable to a monarchy. BRITISH CALL FOR INFORMATION LONDON, Jan. 18.—Formal inquiry was uireoted to the Dutch government today by the British foreign office to ascertain the truth of unofficial reports that the FoheozoUerns have been asked to leave Holland. Officials said they were inclined to doubt the truth of the report The foreign office this afternoon renelved a telegram from the British emfcassy at The Hague, denying the Hohenzollern report BUILDING SIFT FOR INDIANA IS BILL PROPOSAL (Continued From Pare One.) be treated as public utilities.

Euglish of Indianapolis, providing for an Increase from SO,OOO to sl* i the Hilaries of Supreme and Appellate Court Judges. The bill was killed on recommendation of the committee on fees and salaries that It he Indefinitely postponed. Senator English complained that he had not desired the bill to go to this committee. An attempt to pass Senate Bill No. 4, which provides heavier penalties for robbery by violence, failed when the Senate refused to snspend the rules on motion of Senator • English, author of the bill. The measure probably will be takeu up at a later date. It provides that the penalty for robbery by violence be increased to ten to twenty-one years. It Is now five to fourteen years. It provides also that a person found guilty of this charge a second time shall be imprisoned for life. The Senate refused to suspend the rules after Senator A. 11.

ADOPT PLAN TO GET ACTION ON HOSPITAL BILL Senators Interested in Veterans’ Relief Measure Move for Appropriation. CONDITIONS ARE SET OUT WASHINGTON, Jan. 18.—After vainly trying since last June to arouse Congress t 0 the need of greater hospital facilities 'tor sick and wounded veterans. Senators Interested in the problem have decided to bring it up In a way that cannot be ignored. They asked today that Senator France’s bill, appropriating $29,500,000 for hospitals, be takeu up. If their request is opposed they will demand a record vote, confident this will penetrate the indifference of many Senators. A similar bill In the House may be called up soon also. The rules committee there has paved she way to early consideration of the legislation. France reported the Senate bill June 20, 1920, but has failed to get any 1 action. Now he proposes to prevent, if possible, the granting of promotion to Array officers and the confirmation of Army appointments, until the Senate gives decent attention to conditions. WHAT THEY WILL PRESENT. Senators are prepared to tell the Senate : That soldiers are being discharged from Army hospitals forcibly, though they are not cured. That the Army, in attempting to "clean out” all but regular Army men from its hospitals, has turned over .the task of earing for them to the public health service. That the future health service lacks ten thousand beda of enough to care for the patients who should be in hospitals. . That, as a result, wounded and sick veterans are wandering about the streets, some of them dying because of lack of care. That many so-called hospitals are flimsy fire traps. BEDS WOULD COST S3O 000,000. The ten thousand beds, which Surgeon General Cummings of the Public Health Service estimates are needed, would cost about $30,000,000. A proposal to appropriate only $10,000,000 for this purpose is before the Senate Appropriations Committee. whose chairman, Warren, ot Wyoming, says the committee will do "all that ought to be done at this time.” France's bill authorizes the secretary of the treasury, through the Pubi'e Health Service to provide additional hcapital and out-patient dispensary facilities, to hire 350 additional officers and to lease, buy or construct hospitals at a cost of $15,000,000 this fiscal yeur and $11,530,000 next year.

RENEW CRIME WAVE IN CITY; ONE MAN SHOT (Continued From Page One.) The man who asked for the gloves walked to the cash register and took a watch and $25. The men then ran from the store. When Saunders was arrested by Detective De Rossette, Lieutenants Jones and Woollen- and Patrolman J. Miller, who were watching for suspects at the Union Station, a revolver was found in the negro’s pocket. Saunders said he came here from Chicago last October and White claimed that he eame to Indianapolis three weeks ago from Lafayette, but said he formerly lived in Louisiana. White, the police say, answers the description of the negro who entered a grocery store at 1301 North Illinois street, early one morning, about ten days ago, and shot Roul Cornelius, proprietor. The suspect will be viewed by persons who saw the man who shot Cornelius in an effort to identify him. Dr. J. P. Christie gave first aid to Harshberger and ordered him taken to the city hospital. R. G. fliner, (124 North Capitol avepue. was held up and robbed by two negroes early last night at Muskingum and North streets. The men asked him for a match and as he reached for one they seized him, choked him and dragged him into an alley, where they robbed him of $lB. Frank Hufford, 2546 North Alabama street, escaped from a negro dressed in women's clothing, who attempted to rob him at Meridian and Twenty-fourth streets last night. Lieutenant Houston and his squad surprised a negro who was stealing tools from automobiles parked at- Illinois and North streets last night. The negro ran. Fifteen shots were fired by the police, who believe they hit the thief. Morris Wilson, night watchman in a garage at 125 Bird street ran after the negro. At Ogden and Michigan street* the thief turned and fired two shots at Morris, who was forced to slow down. The thief escaped. A burglar who has operated for three weeks in the northeastern part of the city continued his work yesterday afternoon nnd last night. C. VV. Malbucker, 4125 Central avenue, reported that while he was away every room in bis home was rausacked. A revolver nnd a number of coins were missing. Area rwindow was broken open. FAMILY AWAY; HOME ROBBED. Joseph Reed, 4022 Carlton avenue, notified the police that the home of Charles Cring, 4537 College avenue, had been entered by a burglar while the family was out of the city. A screen was cut from one door and the glass broken from another. Mr. Reed was unable to tell what had been Btolen. Jacob E. Sbewrnon, 4420 Broadway, returned home at 11 p. m. and found ever) room had been ransacked. A revolver was missing. The thief broke a glass from a front window and left the house by way of a rear door, taking the ke> with him. A burglar entered the home of Mrs. •T C.

In fsot, iny entire system seems to have been strengthened by this medicine.” One of the outstanding features of Trutona's remarkable work in thousands of cases, is tlic fact that this famous vegetable preparation not only revitalizes and strengthen the vital organs of the body, but also slmultaugously cleanses and builds up the entire system. That s why thousands of grateful users have declared that tliey “feel like new,” after using this wonderful inediicne. Trutona is sold In Indianapolis by th [Hook Chain of Dependable Drug Stores; I at O. \V, Brooks' Drug Store, I’enns.vl varia and Ohio streets, and by all good | druggists everywhere.—Advertisement.

The rings were found hidden under the paper In a drawer of a sewing machine whtch had Just been delivered from a downtown store. Detectives are iuvestl gating to determine if some person tried co steal the rings. Mrs. Alice Morton, 1322 McLain street, notified the police that some person stole her bearskin coat, valued at $75, from a restroom of a local theater last night. PRADOS WOMAN UNDER SENTENCE WITH ROBBERS (Continued From Page One.) institutions, although she Is only 23. was the “bValns” of a gang of. '‘easy money’’ getters composed of Wright, Collier, Allee and Morrison. The Prados woman admitted that she lived at the Occidental Hotel with Morrison as his wife for the past two months, although she admitted they were not married. She claimed her husband, Sidney Prados, hail deserted her and that she “loved” Morrison. The evidence indicated that Clark was not a member of the gang, but was Invited to Collier’s room at the Lorraine Hotel on the night of Nov. 29, 1920, and there he was served with whisky and met the Prndos womnn and Wright. Collier was In soldiers’ uniform at that time and claimed he was stationed at Ft. Benjamin Harrison. The written statement of Clark showed that he heard the Prados woman tell Collier that she knew a Creek who was a cook In a restaurant, said to be the "American,” who carried a “lot of jack on him,” about SSOO, and stated that she had to "get some money” with which to pay ber room rent. PAID VISIT TO KILLING STATION. The four went to a place where “white mule" was dispensed and the party entered n taxicab and drove past s gasoline filling station. There Collier and Wright got out, but soon returned and reported to the Prados woman that a /‘ear drove up." Clark claimed that they also drove to the home of the father of Nellis Prados where she entertained them with music and “home-made beer." Then, entering another taxi, Clark claims he was driven to the Deaconess Hospital, where he had been under treatment He denied being present when the filling station was robbed. The statement of Wright verifies the statement of (lark about the Prados ; woman suggesting that she knew a cook who carried a “bunch of money” and that she would stehr him out so the "men" could get his roll. This scheme fell through because the "cook'' had gone home early, the statement said. Wright's | statement. aNo read in court, verified the contention of the State that the Prados woman was ’’the leader of the gang" and suggested that a visit to a filling station might prove satisfactory from a financial st ’ndpoint. Wright admitted that he and Collier left Nellie Prados in the taxi nnd entered Mr-sier’s fining station. They aroused Mnsier nnd held him up at the point of a loaded revolver. Wright s: Id he took $5.73 from n cash register while C-dlier kept Mosler "covered.” Wright claimed he protested again. -it Collier taking Hosier's watch, because Mosier pleaded | that it belonged to his father, i Wright also Rtuted that he nnd Collier I returned to the taxi and placed Ihe money In the lap of the Prndos womnn.

He said she asked If they had got enough money to pay for the taxi and that $5 was paid to the driver. The Prados woman denied that she wns the “brains” of the gang, contending that she did not know Collier and Wright were going to “pull any jobs.” She denied that any money was ever placed in her lap. The detectives testified .that the revolver which was used In the filling station robbery was found under a pillow in her room at the Occidental Hotel, as well as the hat which one of the gang wore on the night of the hold-up. Mr. Morier took the witness stand and gave testimony against Collier and Wright. He stated he did not see Clark or Nellie Prados. He said he thought about $lB was taken, as be generally had that amount in the station. While on the witness stand and during a rapid cross-examination by Prosecutor Evans, Nellie Prados suddenly admitted that Collier had the reputation of being the "leader of a holdup gan£.” “Who told you that?” sternly asked Evans. "After the arrests the detectives told me,” she replied desperately. Wright took the stand to testify that Clark was not in the automobile when the Mosler robbery was staged. He admitted serving time In prison. The next ea.se called against the gang concerned Allee f Mort-ison and Wright, who participated in robbing Orland Syphirs. The most touching case described in the recital of ’fcrime was the hold up of Mary Greenspan and little daughter, 1706 Prospect street, in which a cash box conta'ning about SSOO was stolen Nov. 24. Mrs. G-eenspnn, who suffers from heart disease, said one of the men entered her little store about 6 o’clock In the evening and, under the guise of buying a pair of wAian’s stockings, took the cash box at the point of a revolver. Every effort was taken by the prosecutor to prevent Mrs. Greenspan from becoming unduly excited while on the stand. JUST HAPPENED TO UK AROUND. The evidence showed that Nellie Prados occupied a scat In a taxi while thlß robbery was being staged. “You Just happened to be around In a taxi when these hold-ups were staged?” asked Prosecutor Evans ”No, I had been drinking white mnle, and do not know what happened escepi what I wns told ” answered Nellie Prados. “I don’t remember. I didn’t get monei I know nothing about the pair of stockings except wbat I was told, I was sick or something.” “But oot too sick to ride about and be with man who held up a woman?” snapped Prosecutor Evans. Attorney Arthur R. Robinson made a brief argument in behalf of Collier and pointed to his "army record,” and of his eight months’ service overseas. “He was thoroughly under the influence of ‘white mule,’” said Mr. Robinson in hcliaM’ of his client. Prosecutor Eians produced a copv of Collier's discharge from the Army and did not eontridict the statement of counsel that Collier bad recently re-enllsted. T think a man in the uniform of a United State* soldier who commits such crimes as these I* worse than the man w o n > nt.) Tad the splendid Cnlnlng of the army," said Mr. Evans. “Collier was uot gassed nor injured in the war and the record shows that he has been punished for absence without leave. The quality of Collier’s record reflects no glory." JUDGE AKS ABOUT SERVICE. Judge Collins frequently, when men .appear before him, asks if they served overseas nnd attorneys lately hare never missed the opportunity to ask leniency

on the grounds of this service. Prosecutor Evans takes a different view of the rnuttor. Attorney Ira Holmes, in behalf of the Prados woman, argued that she was a “victim of the gang” nnd wag not the ‘‘brains,” because if she wa* she would have received the money. “I know that debauchery is no excuse for crime, but the evidence shows she was under the Influence of liquor,” said Mt, Holmes. Judge Collins then said: “I am convinced that Nellie Prados is the type of woman which is praying upon society in the larger cities. I think that she is the most vicious woman who has ever appeared In this court since I have been on the bench.” The court then passed sentence. The men showed no emotion, but the Prados woman burst into tears. They were removed to Jail under heavy guard. BILL REVIVING RAIL BODY PUT BEFOREHOUSE (Continued From Page One.) five days of the session unless the majority con.sents, was aiso opposed. The Speaker war unable to decide from the aye and nay vote and called for a standing vote. The rule was adopted by a division of 4S to 40. The amended rules committee report was then adopted by the House. The fight on the adoption of the report of the committee was taken by many to be the first real test of the power of the administration forces In the House. Leaders in the fight on the report of the committee, membership on which was represented by practically all administration men, was led by the Lake County and Marlon County forces, many of whom are known to be anti-administration. While the question of adoption of Rule 41a, propsed by the Rules Committee, tvas lost, yet the administration forces were conceded to have the upper hand, since the other two rules were adopted by a large majority. Members of the Committee on Rules were Speaker McClure, Otto G. Fifiold, Lee L. Osborn, Clinton H. Givan and R. U. Barker. A minor skirmish took place when the Committee on Educat'on returned an unfavorable report on House Bill No. 41, which provided that teachers having a State license with an average of not less than 00 should be granted life licenses. Representative Benedict objected to killing a bill in committee without giving the author an opportunity to defend It on the House floor.
