SPONSORS SEE HUN LANGUAGE BILL QUASHED Senate Gives Framers Chance to Make Good With Constituents. BOWERS CHIEF SPEAKER The Senate, after delaying action for more than a month and permitting the : two Senators from Allen County to set I themselves right with their constituents j of German extraction by speeches on , Germanism, finally has killed the bill i which would have permitted the Hun , language to be reintroduced into the •cbools of Indiana. The bill is the one introduced by Senator William E. Bowers, New Haven, providing for the elimination of the clause from the present law which prohibits the teaching of the German language in the elementary and' parochial Schools. It was Introduced .Tan. 21, and went to the Committee on Education. The committee failed for days to take any action and by their delay gave Senator Bowers an opportunity to call it out and place it before the Senate without recommendations. Then, by an agreement with Senator Bowers, a majority of the Republican members of the Senate voted to permit the bill to pass second reading in order that the Senator might show his constituents that he was doing everything he could to carry out their desires. Finally, when the bill came up for third reading, all attempts to kill It were foreatalled until the two Senators from Allen County, Senator Bowers and Senator Lee J. Hartzell of Ft. Wayne were given the opportunity to extoll the German language and the German people. Then the majority permitted the bill to be killed. XE-IDL NOT SUPPORTED. When the bill was called down for third reading Senator James J. N'ejdl of Whiting moved that it be made a special order of business for Thursday afternoon In order that “the birthday of George Washnlgton might not be desecrated by consideration of the bill." Senator Robert L. Moorhead of Indianapolis moved to table this motion and the Senate supported him. Senator Moorhead later Introduced the motion to indefinitely postpone. which killed the bill, but there is nothing in the rules of the Senate that would have prevented such a motion being introduced immediately. Immcdiatelv after Senator Moorhead’s motion killing Senator Nejdl’s motion was carried. Senator Bowers was given the floor ad he talked the entire half hour alloted to each member of the Senate for debate. “You have all bad an opportunity to discuss this measure pro and con.” Senator Bowers began, “dour action today ■will be taken after deliberation and thought. I hold no brief for any man because of his opinion. I don t believe this is a political measure. I do not '‘believe it will affect half a dozen votes either way. “We had a war with Germany. It had been brewing many years. People left Germany and came to this country where they would be free from military domination. They did not come here to spread their r”’*nre, but to be free. They became . itizensbip such as many of you have sprung from. They brought with them a language—” CRAVENS MOVES ADJOIRN ME XT. At this point Senator Joseph M. Cravens. Madison, Introduced a motion to adjourn “In the honor of Washington and of patriotism and loyalty.” The motion was defeated by a vote of the majority side. “If my purpose were Insincere and If I were attempting to foist on you something unpatriotic and if the people I am speaking for were not 100 per cent American I would not come before you today.” Senator F.owers continued. “I did not foist this bill upon you. You have had time to consider it. The newspapers published it before it was introduced and they have opposed it every step of the way. If we had taken Jlme to consider the education bill passed two years ago this bill would not need to have been Introduced. It was introduced .after a patriotic speech by Lieutenant Governor Bush and Senator Franklin McCray and passed under a suspension of rules. I voted for that bill with reservation a. “The Lord knows I hold no brief for the Kaiser. The first three Alien County boys who were shot In the war were Germans who spoke the German language.” Senator Bowers declared that important things like the German language are being taken out of the schools arid that “kindergarten stuff” Is being substituted. He declared that he had heard the American Legion Is against the bill, but he expressed the opinion that the legion Is divided on the subject. As proof he read a statement from the pubiioation of a post of the legion favoring the bill. WORKS FOR BILL AS APOLOGY. "The statement is being made that this bill is German propaganda,” Senator Bowers continued. “You know my status. I am not a German. The big taxpayers of this country are of German descent. The hell that is raised in this country Is not raised by the people who •peak the German language. I am not working for Germany. I am working for this bill as an p mlogy to one of the best elements In this country.” "Does that apology apply to the disloyal as. well an the loyal?" Senator Cravens demanded. “The disloyal need no apology," Senator Bowers replied. “They say the Allen County bunch is behind this bill,” he continued. "I don’t

Don't you think propaganda could be better circulated in English? The worst element In this country speaks English. Germany was not obliterated by the war. Only the Kaiser was obliterated. We are breaking our necks now to get their business. "1 am glad action on this bill was not put off until day after tomorrow because this is the birthday o t one of the greatest Americans.’ < ITFS HEAPS OF UNIVERSITIES. Senator Bowers declared President Stone of Purdue University and President Bryan of Indiana University have declared the bill eliminating German never should have been passed. He pointed out that only Indiana and Louisiana took such action. He said the American Legion Is trying to make Indiana the model of States, but that he was In favor of making Massachusetts, “where they have freedom,” the model. “Fifteen hundred Germans for every State in the Union are coming to this country,” he continued. ”1 would prefer that Indiana's 1,500 lie sent to Allen County, where the schools and churches would Americanize them. | “The people don't want to go back to German as a medium for teaching, ue I present law would be all right if immiI gration ceases, but you will never limit immigration from Germany.” At this point Senator Bowers was in ! formed that his allotted time for debate j bad expired and Senator Hartzell was given the floor. Ho declared there is scarcely a woman or a man opposed to the bill who has studied it. "If it is wrong to insult the colored man by preventing him to belong to the militia it is wrong to insult a white man,” he said. “Ninety percent of the voters in Marion township, Allen County, are of German extraction and'gate their last full measure of devotion. The first name on the Alien County memorial to men who died In the war Is that of a German. “One hundred and twenty days after [ the armistice was signed this I.eglsla- : ture onae'ed a law which was an insult to every person In whose veins ruus a drop of German blood. “Every State but Indiana has gone back to the teaching of German.” Senator Hartzell then protested against the motion which had been introduced I by Senator Cravens. I Senator Cravens immediately entered an | objection. ! “To what do you object?” Senator i Hartzell asked. ; CROWD MAKES DEMONSTRATION. I “I object to you inferring that the only I people who are loyal and true are GerI mans,” was the reply. The large crowd which had gathered to hear the debate made such a demonstration that the Lieutenant Governor threatened to clear the galleries. When Senator Hartzell ceased speaking Senator Moorhead was given the floor He said the education committee had been told by a representative of an Allen County church that the bill would per mlt the teaching of German In the parochial schools. He pointed out that the American Legion had approved the law af Its State convention In Vincennes and that similar action was taken at the national convention In Cleveland. He then introduced his motion to Indefinitely postpone and it was immediately carried by a vive voce vote. After the vote was taken Senator Hartzell called for a division but the Lieutenant Governor informed him it was too ! late.
