MEMORIAL DAY ‘BLUE LAW’ IS PUT TO SLEEP Senate Bill Gets 25-23 Vote, but Fails of Required Majority. SPEEDWAY IS TARGET With twenty-five votes for and twentythree opposing, the bill Introduced by Senator Winfield Miller of Indianapolis, prohibiting sporting events on Memorial day, at which admission is charged, failed to pass in the Senate today for the want of a constitutional majority. The bill may be brought np at any time in the future and agaiu put to a vote. The bill was generally understood to be aimed at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, where races are held annually on Memorial day, but it also would have stopped baseball games and other athletic contests where admission la charged or prizes awarded. The measnre is known as the "Blue Memorial bill” among the Senators. The vote follows: AYES. Alldredge Hill Bainum Hogston Bowers Humphreys Buchanan Kiper Cann Leonard Cleveland Lindley Decker McConaha Douglass Miller Duncan Moorhead Dunn Self English Steele Furnas Strode Hartzell NOES. Adams Holmes Arnold Kline Baxter McCullough Beardaley Maler Behmer Meeker Brown Nejdl Crarena Nichols Fitch Batts Hays Richards Henley Southworth Hepler Swain Tague Senator Harold Van Orman of Evansville was not present and Senator J. Fred Masters of Indianapolis left the chamber Just before the vote was taken. HOT ABGOIEST precedes VOTE. The argument on the bill waa opened by Senator Miller, who made a long appeal to the sentiments of the Senate. He was followed by Senator James J. Nejdl of Whiting, who declared he did not believe the soldiers of the World War of the CItII War are asking that sporting events be stopped on Memorial day. "Why not go farther and provide that no one shall be employed on that day?” he asked. “If you want to do something for the soldiers of the Civil War why not eliminate the disgraceful conditions st the State Soldiers’ Home at Lafayette? Yon can not compel the people to revere the dead. Yon will be up against the same violations of Memorial day laws that yon have of Sunday laws.” Senator William A. McCullough of Rockport demanded to know why the Legislature should not just as well at(Continued on Page Two.)

DRAW LINES IN PRIMARY FIGHT Opposing Factions on Watch for Reporting of Bills by Committee. While it Is generally understood that the Committee on Elections of the Senate will submit a minority report In favor of the Beardsley administration bill, no definite time has been set for reporting the bills out of committee. When bills come out every effort will be made by each side to kill immediately the bill of the other faction. The first concern will be to defeat motions for Indefinite postponement. While the comfittee unquestionably Is in favor of the Beardsley bill, which would kill the primary law, those who favor the Alldredge bill, which would strengthen it, a State-wide primary, declare that a majority of the Senate is with them. They claim the votes of thirty Senators, twenty-six being necessary for passage. The committe met at the Claypool Hotel last night and decided to postpone action on the Beardsley bill for a short time. Mrs. Richard Edwards of Peru appeared before the committe and appealed for retention of the local primary system. She had nothing to say about the State-wide primary, however. At the same time friends of the Alldredge bill held a meeting In another part of the hotel. They planned In de tail every move that is to be made when the bill comes out of committee and the tight begins on the floor.

FARM CLIQUE RAPS PURDUE STATION BILL House ‘Watch Dogs* Object to Tax for Experimental Work. WINESBURG SEES JOKER Results of the organization of the farmer members of the House of Representatives formed to "keep an eye on the State treasury,” were apparent in the lower branch of the General Assembly today, when opposition was raised to the bill carrying a tax levy of one-half cent for the Purdue University Agricultural Experiment Station. A divided report was returned by the Ways and Means Commltte on the bill, the majority report favoring passage and the minority report, signed by Representatives David N. Curry of Sullivan, John Sc-hurmeler of Vanderburg and Warrick counties, and John W. Wiuesburg of Wabash County, favored Indefinite postponement. Representatives who styled themselves practical farmers and others from the State's larger cities declared the experiment station does not always give the benefits its sponsors say It does. Some of them said they were in favor of a reasonable allowance for the station, but that in their belief the appropriation was too large. It was apparent that while the farmers .were inclined to praise the institution, they were not prone to sanction the proposed levy. Representative David B. Johnson of Morgan County, author of the bill, declared Its fate was vital to the life of the experiment station. REFERRED TO COMMITTEE. After an hour had been spent in debate. Speaker John F. McClure inquired if the bill carried an appropriation. On being informed that it did, the Speaker ruled all of the debate out of order and referred the measure to a committee of the whole under Rule No. 38. Representative Winesburg, speaking In behalf of the minority report, charged there was a joker in the bill and said he was oppoged to further burdens on the taxpayers. He declared the same joker appeared in the bill as was found in a similar measure two years ago and that it cost the taxpayers more money than they were rightfully entitled to pay. The House Committee on Fe4eral Relations reported out the bill carrying half holidays on Saturday for county officers in all counties. The committee recommended an amendment making the bill applicable only in counties of 150,000 or more population. Only eight bills were introduced lu the morning session. Representative Henry Abrams of Marion County introduced a bill to compel children to support infirm and aged parents and it was referred to tho Committee on Rights and Privileges. Mr. Abrams’ bill would make it a misdemeanor for any person of full age and financially able to fall to support their parents should they be unable to care for themselves. Such persons would be subject to payment of a fine of not more than s2lo and Imprisonment In the county jail not to exceed six months. (Continued on Page Two.)

A detailed report upon the proposed bill to establish city planning commissions in Indiana will be made by the subcommittee of ten which has had the measure under consideration to the Com_ mltteer of One Hundred on city planT ning at the Chamber of Commerce at 7:30 o’clock tonight. James H. Lowry, general chairman, announced.

AMERICANS IN PATH OF MEXICAN BANDITS

MEXICO CITT, Jan. 26.—Fears were felt here today for a large number of Americans In a mining camp at Tepehuanes, State of Durango, which is re_ ported to have been attacked by a strong force of bandits led by the Arleta brothers. The Arieta brothers revolted several days ago, according to advices reaching here and went on the war path iu Durango with a big following. The government has ordered Gen. Eugenio Mar_ tinez, who brought about the surrender of Francisco Villa to start on the trail of the Arietas. He is getting under way with a stroug force of Federal troops. Efforts are being made to learn tho outcome of the reported Arieta attack on tbe Tepehuanes mining camp. It was considered here that the Arieta campaign probably would be protracted as tbe new bandit leaders are operating in a portion of Durango, which has many hiding places, particularly in the mountains. The Arietas are understood to be attempting to travel eastward and effect a junction with other and smaller bands which have not been "mopped up" by government troops. The Arieta brothers formerly were among the wealthiest of Mexico's land holders. Under the Diaz regime they controlled vast areas in Durango and were as powerful as kings in their own domain. They joined the Madero revolt and after Madero's assassination, threw their support to Villa. They have thousands of peons and cattlemeu In Durango, putting their power above thr.t of the Federal government In that state.

Officials feared he might be tempted to go back to his old habits if he w4?re put In command of an armed force.

MURDER AND MYSTERY CLEARING IN‘ORANGE GEM’ CASE

MADISON, Wls., Jan. 26—A tale of mystery as thrilling as any motion pic- j ture plot—a tale that Involves an old man who passed his days in a cottage on the shores of Lake Monona, Wls., daily play-j ing a silent game with little plies of soiled bank notes and gleaming jewels, among the latter the “orange diamond, - ’ taken from its South African resting place to grace the jubilee of Queen Victoria of England, has begun to unfold here. Richard S. Lawrence, one-time city official of Denver, Colo., came to South Madison in 1909 and made his home on Lake Monona. He brought with him an Immense hoard of precious stones, bonds and money. With his daughters and a step-daughter, who later achieved prominence In motion pictures, he lived in his cottage. On March 21, 1918, R chard S.

INDIANAPOLIS, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 26, 1921.

SCHULMYER IS FREE OFCHARGE Special Judge Dismisses Tiger Case After Thirteen Continuances. After thirteen continuances, the case of John S hulmver, 42. charged with operating a Ml-1 tiger, was dismissed by Special Judge James M. Leathers in city court lute yesterday, holding that "the State of Indiana has no evidence that the defendant has at any time had twen-ty-six gallons of whisky, which Is now being held by authorities, for the purpose of sale and that the liquor was bought before the second day of April, 191S, the date when the Volstead act. commonly known aj the..pxoWbiUan law, went into effect.” Schulmyer, tho records show, was arrested in September, 1920. The police tore down a wall in the basement of Schulmyer'* home and found twenty-six gallons of real whisky. They foond they bad gone to considerable trouble, inasmuch us there was a trap door In the coiling of the basement room where the whisky was found. Tho trap door was cleverly concealed, however, by a covering on the floor of the room above, they said. According to Judge Leathers’ statement in city court the police entered the defendant's residence at 3112 East Minnesota street without a search warrant In the "statement of facts" he also said that the whisky was bought by the defendant before the State went dry and the law provides a man having any amount before that date can not be charged with unlawful possession. According to the records In the office of the city clerk. Schulmyer wag convicted Oct. 28, 1918, on a blind tiger charge, almost Keren months after prohibition went into effect. He was fined SIOO and sentenced to serve thirty diys in jail by the judge at that time. The case wns appealed. The records at the Marion Connty Jail show that Schulmyer, who had been 'convicted on his appeal, was received at the jail Nov. 13, 1919. and served thirty days. He was released Dec. 14, 1919, but on the same day he was committed from the United States Court and the records show he served a sentence, being re_ leased April 13, 1920. This sentence, po~ lice officers say, was given when Kchuimyer was convicted in Federal Court In connection with a liquor violation at New Albany, Special Judge Leathers stated that on Frldtuy afternoon he would rule whether the liquor, obtained under so-called “illegal measures," would or would not be given baek to the defendant. Schulmyer is proprietor of a dry beer saloon located near his home, where both whte men and negroes congregate. The place was notorious ai a roadhouse during the "wet” days.

over which neighbors were wont to picture Lawrence as gloating nightly in the brightly lighted window of his cottage, disappeared with him. For three years the circumstances of Lawrence's disappearance remained a mystery. Then District Attorney Theodore G. Lewis was elected and remembering the mystery, threw himself Into the work of solving it. Thread by thread the young prosecutor of Dane County has pieced together what he believes will be the final solution of the mystery and the arrest of at least two persons as Implicated in the murder of La whence and the disappearance of his hoard with which he planned to protect his declining years and the lives of his wife and daughters. In the untangling Prosecutor Lewis found that the body of a stranger, discovered mangled beyond identification under a railway bridge, had been buried as tbe body of Lawrence; that later when the Investigation became hot and

Collins’ Hobby Shown Farce by Second Arrest Suspended Sentence Freedom Permits Alan to Follow Burglar Trade. Another example of the farce of suspended sentences which is practiced by Judge James A. Collins of the Criminal Court was illustrated today when Roy Davis, 18, appeared in the Criminal Court following bis re-arroat by the police on charges of having stolen goods In his possession. Davis was turned loose on society by Jndgs Collins ou July 26, 1919, after ! *t*aYTi' pleiidrir guilty to charges of burglarising a restaurant. Although Davis admitted his guilt, tho records show, the court sentenced Davis from two to fourteen years at the Indiana State reformatory. Judge Collins suspended sentence “pending good behavior.” Davis was Indicted with Bencie Flag- j ler ou July 22, 1919, on a charge of bur- j glary. Flagler was discharged by the court. Several days ago Davis was rearrested by the police and today Judge Collins revoked the sentence of from two to four- ! teen years anil ordered him committed ; to the reformatory. If a suspended sentence had not been handed out by the court Davis would have been In a penal institution for a crime already committed, instead of being at liberty to take part in another act against aociety. After being at liberty for more than a year and a half under the suspended sentence practice of Judge Collins, Davis I Is another example of the failure of Judge Collins' suspended sentence hobby.

the grave opened, the real body of Lawrence was found, naked and apparently unmarked, with his hands folded across his chest; that physicians declared he had died from a blow on the head, and that certain persons in South Madison were opposed to Lawrence's intention of legally adopting his step-daughter In order that he might leave some of bis wealth. Lawrence was in South Madison to make Miss Vale joint heir to his fortune with his wife and daughters when he disappeared, Lewis believes. Blood-stained bills, believed those Lawrence habitually carried sewed in clothing, were "passed” in Madison soon after Lawrence disappeared, Lewis declared. Lewis also uncovered apparently wellfounded rumors that certain unnamed persons became unaccountably wealtay shortly after Lawrence was last seen alive at his lake cottage. Satisfied with his progress. Prosecutor Lewis decided on another exhumation of

BUCKNER TRIAL GETS UNDER WAY Death Penalty Asked for Accused Slayer of Napariu. Special to The Time*. SHELBY VILLE, lud., Jan. 26.—Declaring that the State will ask that William Buckner, negro, charged with the murder of Adam Napariu, former health inspector of Indianapolis, be found guilty of first degree murder and that he be given the death penalty, William P. Evans, prosecuting attorney of Marlon County, outlined the position of the State In the opening argument before a Jury in the Shelby County Circuit Court. The State contends that Buckner fired the fatal shot which caused the death of Napariu during the delivery of a large supply of “white mule.” Six others are under indictment in the Marlon County Criminal Court as being principals of the murder of Napariu. All nave pleaded not guilty. A Jury was obtained in the Buckner case shortly before noon and is composed entirely of farmers. Prosecutor Evans asked each Juror if he was opposed to capital punishment, and in five cases the jurors were excused when they stated under oath that they did not favor capital punishment. All of the Jurors who were accepted stated that they favor capital punishment if the offense warrunts such extreme punishment. Claude Worley, special investigator of Criminal Court, left Indianapolis at noon on an interurban car with police officers, several of the men under Indictment in connection with Napariu's death. Coroner Dr. Paul Robinson and other witnesses. The State Is prepared to Introduce a statement of Buckner that he fired two shots during the fight which resulted when Napariu and others were engaged lu making a delivery of “white mule” to a crowd of negroes. While the delivery was being made on a country road, a gang of negroes appeared and stole tho whisky following the exchange of several shots, it Is contended by the State.

Lawrence’s body. When the order was secured the body, unmarked when first fxhumed, was found to be horribly rnutiiated. The twisted trail of mystery, slowly unraveling under patient hands, properly begins in the “old days” In Denver when Lawrence was the “good soldier” in many deals which were believed to have been just outside the law. Beginning with his acquisition of the “orange diamond” and running through his fight to keep the Santa Fe Railroad out of Denver and into the time of his arrival at Bouth Madison In 1909, Lawrence's life has been more or less as mysterious as the manner of hts death and disappearance. Two outstanding characteristics brought him to neighborly attention In Madison—his often voiced fear of banks and his fondness for fondling his gems and money, seated at his little table in the lighted window of his cottage.—Copyright, 1921, by Chicago Evening American,

PAT HARRISON HOLDS GROUND IN FILIBUSTER Tenth Day Finds Southerner Determined to Talk Tariff to Death. DOUBTED BILL CAN PASS WASHINGTON. Jan. 26.—This Is the tenth day of the Harrison filibuster In the Senate against the Fordney emergency tariff bill. Harrison's filibuster may take Its place in the hall of fame with others which mark Senate history. Pat Harrison, junior Senator from Mississippi, a former member of the House, is the leader of the filibuster, and in fact, its mainspring. He has done most of the filibustering himself thus far, but a number of aids are ready' to come to his telp if he is forced to any extended efforts. Harrison began his active filibustering Jan. 17. He has not been forced to do any long-distance speaking thus far, but, with the aid of other Democrats and some Republicans, has succeeded in keeping the tariff bill in the background by getting other bills considered. The longest speech he has made to date on it was late yesterday, when he indulged in a monolog for more than an hour after Senator McCumber, North Dakota, had spoken for two hours in behalf of the bill. Friends of the bill, at a caucus, decided to try to break the filibuster if it appears likely to prevent action at this session. They are not overly confident that they can upset Harrison's plans to talk the measure to death.

ASKS PRINT PAPER INVESTIGATION WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.—Investigation of the price of print paper by the Federal Trade Commission is provided in a resolution introduced in the Senate today by Senator Harris, Democrat, of Georgia.

A report is to be made early In February. Restoration of trade relations with Russia to stimulate American industry and relieve unemployment was urged before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee by Timothy Healy of New York City and other labor leuders. Fined for Selling Cigarettes to Boy Clyde Carter of the Denchler Cigar Stores today was fined S3O and sentenced to serve six months on the Indiana State Farm on a charge of contributing to the delinquency of Vernon Derrickson, under 16, of 2025 Ruckle street, by selling the boy cigarettes. The court suspended the penal farm sentence. This conviction comes in a campaign of the Juvenile court attaches to prevent young boys from buying cigarettes.

The report of Sir Auckland Geddes, British ambassador to the United States, will form the basis of the allied debate as to what may be expected from tho i United States. The near east problem j involving the defiance of King Constani tine of Greece and procedure against tho | Turkish Nationalists will be taken up at I another conference in London next | month. Turks and Greeks will be ask“d to attend the conference, but recognition of the Turkish Nationalists was avoided, j It was stated the latter might send rep- ] resentatives to the London session, but that if they did so it would be at the inj vltatlon of the Turks. Decision to consider the near east in I London was accepted by Paris news- | papers as a concession to the French demand for revision of the Sevres treaty.

a single-barreled shotgun and. In a dining room where there were ten persons, opened fire, killing his brother Everett, and then his father. Mrs. Hornocker and her six grandchildren, the other persons in the room, escaped by running. The slayer lay down ou a couch to await the arrival of the police. Sergeant White and Detectives Golnisch and Houlihan arrested Hornocker, who made no offer to resist. QUARREL OVER DOG ® CAUSES KILLING. The Immediate cause of the quarrel was a dog owned by the murdeier. Hornheker, from his cell, however, told of a deep hatred for his brother, formed, be said, almost four years ago. He told of other causes which he said led up to his act. “He lived in Alfordsville, Daviess County, Indiana,” he said. "My brother and my wife accompanied me on a houseboat down the Ohio river. My brother forced my wife to get out in the rain and cook a mess of mussels. She caught cold and it made her sick. Later she died. I was sent to the Insane hospital from the houseboat, which was on the Ohio river in Illinois. I escaped and came to Indianapolis about two years ago. Then religion also waa a cause.” “Are you religious?” he was asked. "I thought I was once, but not now," Hornocker answered. “You see, they are Utah Mormons and they tried to make me believe that way. I really did not mean to kill father, but then he was coming at me and I loaded the gun again and shot him. I think 1 shot my brother twice.”

BIGNS CONFESSION OF DOUBLE CRIME. Hornocker made the following statement to the detectives and signed it: My name is Aria Ivis Hornocker, I am 37 years old and live at 3624 Northwestern avenue with my father, mother and two brothers. I work at the FairbanksMorte Company, Twenty-First street and Northwestern avenue. I left work at 4:20 p. m. and arrived home at 5 p. m.

ARRESTS NEXT IN HAUGHVILLE RAID Prohibition Agent Admits Purpose of Questioning. Warrants for the arrest of a numberof residents of Ilaughvllle, whose homes were raided Monday night by constables from the court of Justice of the Peace Rainey and Federal prohibition agents will be issued today, according to Lee A. Kidder, group chief in charge of this district. At the time the raids were made persons in whose homes liquor wms found were told to report to Mr. Kidder at his office in the Federal building yesterday. In many Instances these instructions were disregarded and Mr. Kidder says he will order the arrest of these persons on a charge of violating the prohibition act. Mr. Kidder admitted to an attorney representing a number of persons who had been summoned to appear Tuesday that he had no legal authority to compel them to do so, and said that he had Instructed them to appear before him in order that he might question them as to the amount of liquor they had in their possession, in order that he might not make an erroneous report to the Collector of Internal Revenue at Washington. "I might overestimate the amount they have on hand in case they do not coma up here and tell me themselves,” he said. The persons summoned, almost without exception, are foreigners and they felt that the summons were compulsory until told differently by legal advisers. Apparently It Is the policy of Mr. Kidder to hold the threat of arrest over the heads of persons in whose homes liquor has been manufactured, unless they appear before him and answer questions u to the amount they have on hand. He said today that no liquor wan seized in the raids, all of it being left as It was discovered after samples had been taken. The Volstead act provides a specific penalty of? 1.000 for the manufacture liquor in violation of the act, but thig penalty can only be assessed and eoD lected by the Department of Internal Revenue, according to officials of that department. They say that the prohibition agents can only report the arnounl of liquor to the collector at Washington and that the agents themselves have ml authority to fix or levy the penalty.
