SPECIAL SESSION OF LEGISLATURE SET FOR DEC. 14 Blunders Again Responsible for Calling Solons Together. MAY END WORK IN A DAY The third special session of the Legislature called by a Republican Governor during the last two years will convene Dec. 14. As In the previous sesslcos, the session is made necessary by legl dative and executive blundering, this time In disposing of thereformatory at Jeffersonville without adequate arrangements for building anew Institution. The announcement of the date of the special session was made by Governor Warren T. McCray last night following conferences with members of the Senate and the House of Representatives. Although the members of the assembly are bound to no agreement to limit the session, the Governor Is using his influence to limit consideration to a bill for the removal of the reformatory. , In connection with the announcement of the date of the special session the Governor made public a statement of Colgate & Cos. offering SIOO,OOO additional for the property and which reveals the fact that the Governor had Intended to call a special session should certain of the proposed amendments to the constitution have been adopted and that he •xpected that the reformatory removal muddle would be taken up at that time. The statement also reveals the fact that Colgate & Cos. had no Intention to wait until after the next regular session to make arrangements for taking possession of the reformatory, although the public had’been led to believe this to be * fact. HXD REMOVAL BILL Nor WORKABLE. The reformatory was sold to Colgate A Cos., Immediately following the last regular session, and the company made a SIOO,OOO initll payment. After the sale an Investigation was made to determine whether the removal bill was workable, and it was found that under its provisions it virtually would be impossible to build anew Institution. Representatives of Colgate & Cos. then went Into conference with the Governor and following the conference the statement was made that the company had agreed to wait until after the next regular session to take possession of the property. At the same time a signed statement, saying there was a mutual agreement, but making very vague assertions as to its nature, was made public Jointly by the Governor and Colgate A Cos. ’ LATEST PROPOSAL OF COLGATE AND COMPANY. The latest statement of Colgate and Company in the form of a communication to the Governor follows: “Colgate and Company desires to make s further proi>osition to the State of Indiana with reference to the property at Jeffersonville, our offer for which was accepted by the State in June of this year. The matter stands as follows: “The act of the regular session of the Legislature of 19_'l. whleh authorized the sale, stipulated that the new Institution was to be completed by Oct. 30. 1922. Our bid provided, aCoordi"g!y, that we might withdraw if delivery of the property were not made by that date, ana It w-as accepted with that condition. “You subsequently advised us that the commission appointed under the act had found that its provision so restricted their action that it was Impracticable f >r them to proceed. At that time, however, it was thought that certain amendments to the State constitution with reference to taxation, then about to be voted upon, might be adopted, in which ease there would of necessity have followed a special session of the Legislature to carry out the changes In the tax laws which the amendments contemplated. It was your Intention In that event to propose to" the Legislature amendments to the act of 1921. which would make It possible to proceed with the location and construction of the new Institution and thus to carry out the sale of the old one to us. The defeat of these amendments, however seemed to leave no hope of carrying out the purchase unless, we were willing to await the 1923 session of fb- Legislature and that we could not possibly ,do. “While confronted with this situation and the apparent necessity of withdrawing onr bid and giving np wholly the plan for a plant at Jeffersonville, we are advised that It has been suggested that In the public Interest there b* called a special session of the Legislature for the specific purpose of •mending the act of 1921. ADDS TO EXPEDIENCY OF CALLING SESSION. “We could not ask that favorable consideration be given to this suggestion on any grounds relating solely to onr Interest In the matter. We believe we are In a position, however, to add to the consideration of public Interest which might add to the expediency of calling a special session. “In the expectation of getting possession of the property at an early date, we have made extensive arrangements with that end In view. We have had plans for remodeling the buildings drawn; have obtained the publication of freight rates; and have laid new plans for all our Western business. On all of this we have spent large sums of money. If we have to look for a site elsewhere much of this expense will be duplicated and there will be added the very much greater cost Incident to further delay In starting our plan, and to the general upset it would cause In our arrangements. This would all mean a heavv loss. In the bop* that It may facilitate the calling of the special session and that this loss may he avoided, we beg to make this further proposition to the State of Indiana. “If the act of 1921 Is amended by Feb. 1. 1922. in a manner that will enable the commission to proceed at once upon the location and construction of the new Institution, wo will add to the amount of onr original offr the further sum of $50,000. payable when the property la delivered to us. We also propose that. In the event we may be enabled to take over the property at Jeffersonville In whole by Sept. 15, 1923, we will pay to the State of Indiana a further sum of $50,000, making In all for the transfer of the property described In our former proposal the total sum of $451.10101 less the payment of $105,830.31 made last spring, leaving a balance due of $845.770 70. payable when delivery Is made.” That the session can be held down to one day appears to be probable, althongh lome of the members of the Assembly who called on the Governor Insisted they would be bound by no agreement. The Governor has no power to limit the eeasion and under the constitution It may continue for forty days. SPEAKERSHIP CONTEST PROVIDES INTEREST. With the definite announcement of the date of the session the speakership content Is attracting aded attention. The two principal candidates, Claude A. Smith of Princeton and Jacob D. MUtenberger of Muncle, are In Indianapolis conducting active campaigns. Both say they are confident of victory. At the present time the strength seems to be •bout equally divided. Many members of the House believe Mr. Miltenberger deserves the speakership as they believe he would have been elected over Jobn F. McClure last year If Governor McCray bad not Interfered. At the same time, however, Mr. Smith has the strong support of a large number of the Republicans. The speakership contest probably will be decided at a caucus of the Republican members of the House the night before the session. LOGANBPORT MAX COLLECTOR. The appointment of Frank Amoss Logansport as deputy collector at Terre Haute was announced yesterday by M. Bert Thurman, collector of Internal rev •it* Mr. Amoss formerly was secretary f the Severe Motor Car Company.

At a meeting of the representatives from the organizations, together with j league women, plans for the program j were discussed, yesterday at the Chamber of Commerce, Mrs. Isaac Born presiding Mrs. Born, in explanation of the purpose of such a meeting, said: “We want every organization to participate.

Instead of being as represented, a government of representation of the people, Is a system of government for the glorification of the office holders, said George Comerford, Chicago attorney. In touching upon conditions In Russia, at the annual conference of trustees of Kiwanis Clubs of Indiana, at the Hotel Severln last night. Mr. Comerford has taken an active part In Federal prosecution of anarchy in the L'nited States. He appealed to citizens to spread the doctrines of Americanism, asserting that they are in better position to do so than official agencies, which, he said, because of their necessary partisanship, often are regarded with suspicion. The conference was called to consider the progress of the Kiwanis program, and at noon a luncheon was given by the Indianapolis Kiwanis Club In honor of the visiting delegates. Routine business occupied the afternoon session. AfTO INJERES BICYCLIST. Henry Boulder, 63, negro, 1121 Scioto street, was slightly injured and his bicycle was broken when he was struck by an automobile which the police were told was driven by Mrs. Merial Born, 2940 North Pennsylvania street.
