BILL REQUIRES REGISTRATION 0F AUTO TITLE House Measure Calls for Certificate From Secretary of State. BOTH BRANCHES ON JOB When both hounes ot the General Assembly convened this afternoon at 2 o’clock, after adjournment since Fridiy afternoon, several bills were, scheduled for the hopper and a number of others were up for final passage in the Senate. A joint meeting of the Ways and Means Committee of the House and the Finance Committee of the Senate was scheduled. The committees expected to go over the bill providing more than $7,000,000 in appropriations and to endeavor to reach an agreement so that it may be reported out as soon as possible. A bill regulating the establishment and transfer of title to automobiles was expected to be introduced in the House by Representative Frank J. Noll of Indianapolis. It is designed to check automobile thefts. The bill provides that certificates of title be issued to all automobile owners by the Secretary of State with a fee of $1 each, and that when cars are sold the titles of ownership must be transferred by the Secretary of State. It provides that registration receipts be carried In cars. Vnder the proposed law It would be unlawful for any one to own a car without an engine number or with a mutilated engine number and the bill provides that the Secretary of State shall designate numbers for such cars. SECRETARY TO EMPLOY DEPUTIES. The bill would give the Secretary of State the power to employ deputies to arrest thieves and recover stolen cars and it 'provides that under his direction a peace officer may arrest automobile thieves outside his own county. A dally report of stolen cars and recovered cars would be made to the Secretary of State under the bill. A aimilar bill has been passed In Kentucky and others have been introduced in Ohio, Michigan and Illinois. Support of aged and infirm parents bv their children would be complsory l y tbe terms of a bill being prepared by Representative Abrams of Maron County. Under the bill only those whose nildren were unable to provide support would go to county infirmaries. Use of benzoate of soda as a preserva tire would be permitted in Indiana under a bill to be introduced by Representative Charles C. Dean of Jefferson and Scott Counties. Only two States in the Union, including Indiana, now have laws against the use of benzoate of soda and tbe pure food department has declared that It is not dangerous. The bill will directly afreet makers or cider, according to Mr. Dean. It is impossible to make cider and keep it from fermenting unless bonzoate of soda ia used, he said, and under the Volstead act, shippers of "hard” cider are liable to prosecution. The also could be used tn catsup and other bottled goods. TECHNICAL ERRORS TO BE CORRECTED. Defeat of justice through technicalities would be prevented by a bill to clarify the present statute regarding correction of mistakes In pleadings in civil cases, which is to be Introduced by Representative Lee L. Osborn of La Porte and Starke Counties. Representative Eph P. Dailey of Alien County will Introduce a bill to increase the board of school commissioners of Ft. Wayne from three to seven members. The apecial act now applying to the Ft. Wayne schools has been outgrown, Mr. Dailey said. Representative Oscar A, Ahlgren of Lake County will have a bill providing that all contract* containing stipulations that no mechanic’s liens are to be filed against property for materials, etc., shall be recorded with the county recorder Within five days after their execution. Six bills were on the Senate calendar ready for third reading and passage. None of them, however, has created any great stir. One provides for a change In the manner of appointing members of the (Continued on Page Eleven.) WEIGH MARKET PLANS TONIGHT Boards and Councilmen to Hold Conference on Remodeling Project. Remodeling of the city market buildings will be discussed by the board of public safety, the board of public works and the city council at a conference in tha council cnamber tonight. Mayor Charles W. Jewett announced some time ago that modernization and sanitization of the market are one of tile important proJe<’ts he hopes his administration will complete In its last year. Til* administration has been talking about rebuilding or remodeling the market houses for more than two years. Following agitation by the Woman’s De-. partment Club In 1919, the board or safety appointed a committee, with Stanley Wyckoff as chairman, which investigated needs at the market. The report Included drawings and specifications for anew building, which the commute" said was necessary If the full value of the market was to be realized. Practically none of the important suggestions of this committee has ever been carried out. On several occasions members of the board of safety said they thought at least $123,000 should be spent on the market. Some members of the council immediately expressed opposition. Insisting that the market could be put in good shape for from $25,000 to $30,000. The board of safety Is expected again to recommend that approximately $123,009 be spent and that the work include only the rehabilitation of the Interior of tM Tomlinson Hall and East Market secttrtu. This would include anew plumb ills system, sanitary floor and provisions : for raising stands so the floor could be \ cleaned with tire hose. Before the conference the couucll will 1 bold a special meeting, ca’led to consider I the ordinance ratifying the contract be- j tween the board of public works and the Losey-Xaeh Company for the purchase of two Titan tractor trucks to be used In the city ash hauling department. Indications were that the contract would be ratified without delay. The trucks will cost $9,380.

By April, it was predicted there will be much les9 unemployment, factories will be running full time, foreign trade will pick up, railroads will be rushed and prosperity will reign. A revival of commercial activity already has set in and plants are beginning to open and operate full time in many sections of the country. Retail centers already have begun to experience a slight increase in buying at the textile mills of New England and the South is beginning to report an increase of orders. PATH LEADS TO STABILIZED FRICES. With the revival of industry will come greater production and stabilized or lower prices. Government economists say Building, practically at a standstill since the war, already shows a small Increase. There is little likelihood, however, that present high rents will be lowered for several months, although the prices of finished houses will be below those of 1920. Exact figures showing the number of unemployed in the United States will be made public this week by the United (Continued on Page Two.)

We owe it to tbe nation to provide a road leading to Lincoln Park." Construction of the road was asked some time ago by residents of Lincoln City, Spencer County, but was opposed by Mr. Wright, because he said he cost would be too great. This was tbe Governor's first statement regarding the proposed road and was made, he said, in answer to the statement of Mr. Wright.

MEMPHIS, Tenn., Jan. 24.—Twentyfive persons were killed when a series of explosions wrecked the Colyar-Reese Company’s plant here at 7:40 o’clock, police estimate. The Colyar-Reese plant was known locally as the Sinclair Oil Company because until recently It was the exclusive agent for the Sinclair Oil Company here.

Fearing that houses within a half-mile radius of the plant would be wiped out should more tanks explode, police wens going over that section of North Memphis warning residents immeditely to get as far from the scene as possible. The explosions were caused by a spark from the chisel of a man who was working on a tank containing 15.000 gallons of gasoline, which first blew up.

G. 0. P. CABINET PICKS TYNDALL TO BE MAYOR Columbia Club Conference Makes Colonel Choice of Administration. ‘ANTIS’ SEE OPENING Robert H. Tyndall, assistant cashier of the Fletcher American National Bank ami colonel in command of the 150th Field Artillery in the World War, has been picked by the leaders of the administration wing of the Republican city organization to be the “regular” candidate for the nomination for mayor at the city primary election. May 3, it was stated by reliable authorities today. The choice was made at a conference of Mayor Charles W. Jewett, Ralph A. Lemeke, county treasurer; Irving W. Lemaux. Republican city chairman, ana C harles O. Roemler, Republican chairman of tbe. Seventh district, held in the Columbia Club late Saturday, it was said Tyndall was picked to receive the hacking of these four men and their follower*, after George I.eniaux, until today considered a likely candidate for mayor, suggested another compromise. Lemaux agreed to stay out of the race nnd to Join his political efforts with those of the administration men if his suggestion was accepted. Some of the administration leaders gave half-way consent to such a compromise before going into their conference, but before the word could be carried to this man it ts said, they picked Tyndall. George Lemaux has given out a statement in which he declares absolutely that he will not be a candidate. He made a similar statement several days ago, but both his friends and his opponents did not regard it seriously, so that up until now he has been considered an active contender. "I aifi emphatically not a candidate for mayor.” his statement reads "I cannot consider It under any circumstances. This decision does not come from any caucus or agreement and is not on account of any opposition shown by anybody. "1 will have given at the end of this term four years of inv time and energy for tbe welfare of Indianapolis as a member of the board of public works, at a great sacrifice to my own private bueine*. and I do not feel like giving another four years, even if I should have been fortunate enough to be nominated and elected.” The reported choice of Tyndall and the refusal of Mr. Lemaux to enter the face opened the way for a strictly "anti administration” candidate, those Republicans who do not care to see the Jewett-Lemcke-Roemler combtnatlvin rule longer Indicated. The selection of Tyndall also set at rest stories that Felix M. McWhlrter. member of the board of public safety, was to bo the favorite, which have been emanating from administration men for several days. I’ulitlrtans viewed the McWhlrrer talk as a smoke screen covering operations which led to the selection of Mr. Tyndall. Land Seizure Stands WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.—Passage of the Kenyon-Kendrick bill to regulate the meat packing industry, looked extremely doubtful after the Senate had been discussing it for three hour* today. The vote will be taken late today under an agreement which stops debate at 4 p. in. A poll taken by supporters of the bill showed 34 votes for the bill, 34 against, with 21 doubtful aud a number not heard from. Indications were that many Senators would avoid a vote on the bill after recording their sentiments on some of the numerous amendments. Republican and Democratic Senators were lined up against the bill; Republican and Democratic Senators stood together in support of It. The end of the senatorial battle of which the “Big Five” packers—Armour, Swift, Morris, Cudahy and Wilson —have been the storm center for several years, will come at 4 o’clock in the afternoon, when by unanimous consent the Senate will vote finally upon the bill. Senator Curtis, Kansas, Republican “whip,” among whose duties It is to approximate the support prospective legislation is to receive, predicted the vote would be “close.” In anticipation of a renewal of the debate for and against governmental control of tha packing industry, the Senate met at 10 o’clock, two hours before the customary time.

The searches are being conducted under authority of search warrants issued n accordance with the Indiana law, which requires that when such seizures are made the officer seizing the whisky shall retain it in his custody and the court issuing the search warrant shall “fix the time for hearing and determining the purpose for which such liquor is kept. If at such hearing it Is found by the court that such liquor, vessels and fixtures are kept for the purpose of selling, bartering or disposing of intoxicating liquor in violation of the law, the court trying the case shall order the same destroyed forthwith.” Although tho 'federal enforcement agents have publicly declared that they have found liquor in hotel rooms, they have so far failed to make returns to the city court on the sea,ch warrants they hare served, have failed to make arrests, and if they have seized liquor It Is apparently subject to no legal proceeding that would Insure It from “use In this office,” as was the three quarts of whisky obtained on the “Dear Jerry” order of C.

"I will issue orders at once to both Federal officers and police that returns must be made within a reasonable time on all search warrants issued ia this court.” At that instant Lieutenant Woollen of the police department presented a search warrant for the court's signature and after the warrant was signed and the officer sworn, he was notified by Judge Pritchard that a return must be made “within a reasonable time.” “What does this court consider a reasonable time for such return to be made?” the court was asked. “From three to four days, certainly not more than a week,” answered Judge Pritchard. “I understand that no arrests were made, but that liquor was seized in bo. tels on the search warrants issued by this court,” said Judge Pritchard, “and to avoid the legal* question as to the right of possession of the liquor and to obey the law. tlie Federal men must certainly file a return on those search warrants. When a person swear# out a warrant in this court, of course, he i* is acting as an officer of this court.” Tbe court was then informed by a representative of the Times that at present there were only fifty-five search warrant* (Continued on Page Eleven.)
