STREET KICKS SWAMP BOARD Postmaster Registers Complaint—Others Protesting. Complaints about the condition of city streets rolled in on the board of public works today. A letter came from Postmaster Robert E. Springsteen In which it was stated that the condition of East Teeth street between Emerson avenue and Sherman Drive was so bad that the carrier on rural route H out of the Irvington subpoEtofflce has to get out of his automobile and walk a mUe In order to serve seventy-four patrons residing along the stred. The postal regulations prohibit a carrier leaving his conveyance In this manner, the postmaster said, and asked that immediate attention be given the street if possible. J. K. Bauer, principal of School No. 51. Roosevelt avenue, wrote the board that a flagman should be stationed at the Olney street crossing over the Big Four railroad tracks as the warning bell has failed to prevent several serious accidents, the latest occurring Jan. 31, when a tVo'uan was killed. f A letter of T. D. Holt, 2453 Hovey (street, to the board of school commissioners, complaining that he could not send his little daughter to School No. 37, Twenty-fifth and Baltimore avenue, because of the tinpassabillty of Twentyfifth street from Martindale to Baltimore avenues, was forwarded to the board of works.

The fourth complaint came from A. D. Cornelius, 3544 Carrollton avenue, who wrote that there Is a mud hole in which automobiles frequently pet stuck at the Intersection of the avenue with ThirtySixth street. '• T V $ Ml A petition signed by 126 citizens asking for the extension of Columbia avenue car service from the present terminus at Twenty-Sixth - street nnd Coiumbta avenue to Thirty-Fourth street and Sutherland avenue was received. The residents said they need 'the service, since the Union Traction Company no longer stops several lnterurban trains, formerly used by them, at Thirty-Fourth street and Sutherland avenue. Their residences now are situated from a mile to two miles from the nearest city lines, the petitioners said. The board indicated that It will make an Inspection trip to the vicinity In which the petitioners live and that they will call on the Big Four Railroad Company to send a representative to discuss the placing of a flagman on the Olney street

crossing. Gas mains were ordered extended in Southeastern avenue from Hamilton avenue to a point 150 feet east. .Plans were ordered for the following: Vacation of a seventeen-foot strip off of i Senate avenne from South to Merrill ■ Streets to make the line conform to the avenue as vacated for the Big Four Bailroad north of South street. Permanent Improvement of the first alley south of Harlan street from Prospect street to Woodlawn avenue, of the first alley west of Illinois street from Georgia to Maryland streets, of the first alley north of Brookside Parkway from Tacoma avenue to the western terminus, and of the first alley east of Guilford avenue from Edgewood Piace to Maple. Hoad. Cement sidewalks on the east side of Serate avenue from South to Merrill streets.

The Merchants National Bank bid 6 per cent, with 858 premium. Compared with offerings on municipal •ecurltlea in the last two or three years the bids are high. Sister Threatened by Youth With Gun Following complaint Thursday that a bicycle was stolen from the yard of St. Mary's school. New Jersey and Vermont Itreets, police again were called to the ichool this afternoon. * According to one of the sisters, a youth, apparently about 17 or 18, had been prowling about the yard. She asked him what he wanted and he asked if some children by the name of McN'att attended school there. She bade him enter the office while she looked up the record, ' meantime sending for a priest. When the priest arrived and started to question the youth he got "ugly” and tried to leave. The sister attempted to stop him, but ho covered his retreat with a revolver. The youth was chased by a boy pupil to Michigan and Noble street, where be dlstp peered.

SENATE UPSET BY BITTER ROW ON PICKET BILL (Continued From Page On.) demand for such a measure It doesn’t come from the manufacturers in general. It comet from the Manufacturers’ Association, the same organization which is asking for the constabulary. “They appeared before the labor committee and opposed the eight-hour law for women. They don’t care for the lives of their workers. They are simply opposed to any one who is going to take a nickel away from them. “They have used every kind of unfair method In strikes. They have employed sluggers for the express purpose of creating a disturbance so they can ask for the State or Federal troops. “Why don't you make lockouts unlawful? Some of the manufacturers would lock their men out and then prevent them from picketing.” The bill Is in direct violation of the bill of rights of the State Constitution, according to Senator Alfred Hogston of Marlon. "It Is one of the most lnslduonslyworded bills in this Senate,” he said. “It comes In here as a nice, little, harmless bill. It contains a lot of words which are the sheep's clothing, but the wolf lurks among them. CHARGES JOKER IN MEASURE. “Section 2 makes It unlawful for two or more persons to congregate where persons are employed or on streets or places adjacent thereto. It seeks to prevent American citizens from meeting one another In the streets. It Is in direct violation of the Constitution, which guarantees the right of free speech.” Senator William M. Swain of Pendleton, speaking for tho bill, demanded to know whether the rights of organized labor are more sacred than the rights of other perams. Ho declared picketing is more Injurious to organized labor than to any other class and Insisted the ene- | mies of organized labor are within its ; own ranks. Advising against passage of such a j measure at this time. Senator Howard | Cann of Frankfort took up the debate In opposition to the bill. He said be is an employer of labor in a small way, but i opposes such a measure. "It doesn’t seem wise to antagonize ! labor during a period of unrest when j thousands of persons are out of employment.” he said. Senator C. Oliver nolmes of Gary spoke j In favor of the bill, declaring it seeks to prevent things which should be prevented. He said he was speaking from the viewpoint of "the Innocent bystander who gets it In the neck.” Senator Winfield Miller of Indianapolis made a short speech in favor of the bill and Senator William E. Bowers of New Haven read a long letter from an employer opposing It. Without a comment or a protest the Bowers bill to permit teaching of German In the parochial and elementary schools was reported out by the Committee on Education in the Senate and advanced to second reading. The bill came out on the demand of Senator William E. Bowers of New Haven, Its author. It is the general Impression that the Senate will kill the measure. Tha measure has been In committee since Jan. 21. It has had behind It one of the strongest lobbies that has ap- j peared this session, the entire strength of the Republican organization In the Twelfth district working for the measure. Chief among the lobbyists In Its behalf has been Harry G. Hogan, Republican chairman of the Twelfth district; Byron Somers, chairman of the Ft. Wayne school board, and Wilbur Carpenter of Ft. Wayne, now first assistant reporter of the Supreme and Appellate Courts. Senator Bowers sa'd that he would press for the adoption of the bill as It now stands. At one time. In his effort to get It out of the committee with a. favorable. report, he advocated amending it so as to bar the teaching of all modern foreign languages. He declared that he would not oppose such an amendment If It comes up on second reading. COMMITTEE IS OPPOSED. The Committee on Education was unanimously opposed to the bill as It stood and steadfastly refused to send It out with a favorable report. The following bills were Introduced In the Senate: Buchanan, amending an act concern-

Birds at Big Show Sing of Coming Spring Bv n. L. M’VICKER. Hundreds of roosters were crowing tn a hearty manner and thousands of hens were singing their songs of the coming of spring fhen the chicken reporter made his daily round at the poultry exhibit at Tomlinson Hall today. The noises fairly made the welkin ring. Two Ancona hens had stirred up a neighborhood ’quarrel and were making strenuous efforts to fight it out, despite the wire fencing that separated them. Otherwise all seemed to be joy and content. According to announcement made by Theodore Hewes, president of the association. the attendance Thursday showed a considerable increase over that of any previous day and the management was pleased with the support given the show by the public. Large numbers of out-of-town visitors viewed the exhibit during the day and a large representation of Indianapolis citizens who are interested in poultry affairs attended at night. POULTRY HOUSE DRAWS ATTENTION. The model poultry house shown by the poultry department of Purdue University continues to commaud the attention of visitors. This model house is arranged to show profits to be derived from giving hens the advantage of artificial light, which makea for Increase In production of eggs;also shows several other advanced Ideas In building a convenient and profitable poultry house. There are self-feeders ad wall nests of Improved designs on the Inside of the structure and a fine family of pure Plymouth Rocks, scratching, feeding and laying. A Purdue chart Illustrating the physiological requirements for a productive pullet Is shown on the wall. For Instance, a good layer Is a late molter In September, has pale thin shanks, has a deep rectangular body, la well fleshed, with a full soft abdomen, small curved beak and a deep head. On the contrary a poor layer molts before the month of September, has yellow round shanks, shallow body, poor fle:-h, Bhrunken, tough abdomen, lon, thin head and slender, sharp beak. Thus does science assist In advancing the interests of the poultry business, which plays an Important part these days In the commercial world. Two birds are shown to Illustrate the points suggested by the chart and President Hughes has offered cash prizes for the best guesses of the number o? eggs that have been produced by these two hens In a year, a careful record of which has been kept by the poultry management at the Purdue farm. Representatives of this department are always present to talk to persons Interested and give the benefits of the Investigation of the State agricultural farm. A supply of publications, touching the various phases of poultry raising, are i on hand for free distribution. 233 GET PAPERS TO GO ABROAD District Report Shows Income Tax Clearance.

GET TOGETHER MOVE MAY END PRIMARY FIGHT (Continued From Page One.) sleeves and If they are victorious In the preliminary tilt It is altogether probable that they will go down the line Insisting on the adoption of their other “cures." One of these would make a plurality vote, instead of a majority, nominate, and the other would give candidates the right to place watchers at the polls on election day. The anti-primary men have not reached an agreement whether they could accept these amendments. In brief, It la the general consensns of opinion, that the anti-primary leaders are trying to gat out of a mess with the beat grace possible. Governor Warren T. McCray Is believed to be sincere when he says he Is through with the fight, yet Republican leaders are asserting bf< made a mistake when he, who had led the fight since he took office, attempted to place the burden on the Republican .State Committee. The leaders In the committee are doubtless for the repeal, but they balked when forced Into the open. They will be satisfied If they can bring about an apparently harmonious agreement with the pro-primary crowd and announce that all Is well within the party. The situation, which has worried administration chieftains for several days, began to clear up yesterday afternoon on the arrival of E. M. Wasmuth, Republican State chairman, from Washington. It is presumed Mr. Wasmuth discussed the matter with Senator New, who Is chiefly concerned after all in the removal of the primary law. The chairman had no comment to make, but It was noticeable that the compromise talk began to take effect after his arrival. It Is known the Republican State committee was considering steps of throwing Its weight In the lists against the primary' law. To this end preparations had been made to draft a repeal bill, but It Is now believed the measure will never be required. WINS POINT IN FIGHT TO HALT FOREIGN LOANS (Continued From Fare One.) therefore could not avail Itself of the credit*. The loan to Liberia, Mr. Hearst charges, also was unauthorized because Liberia never declared war on AustriaHungary. Mr. Hearst further charges that the secretary has unlawfully allowed Boris Bakbmetleff. accredited ambassador of tlis Kereuskl government in Russia, to withdraw money from a fund established prior to the overthrow of that government by the Bolshevists and that a sum of money now on deposit In a bank In New York, which rightfully belongs to the United States, Is being used by BakhmetieX. ASKS PAY BOOST FOR VICE PRESIDENT WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.—An amendment to tho legislative, executive nnd Judicial appropriation bill, providing for an Increase In the. salary of the Vice President from $12,000 to $15,000. was passed In the Senate today.
