DEMOCRATS IN FAVOR OF SITE t first chosen Minority Members Wish Order Regulating Reformatory Commission. OPPOSE JOB QUITTERS Amendments to the administration's Reformatory removal til!, stipulating that the institution oe located at Putnamville, and providing that memlers of the Reformatory commission must not he interested in materials, ground - or labor to be used in constructing the new building. were adopted by the Democratic members of the House of Representatives in a caucus last night at the Claypool Hotel. The House Democrats also took a firm stand against that part of the Reformatory bill which provides that the State board of charities “shall approve the site selected by the relocation committee.” ASK WHY CHANGE RECOMMENDED. Members of the minority party decided to quiz the majority members on why the admendment ot the present law reads “Any place within a radius of fifty miles of Indianapolis” from “adjacent to the State farm at Putnamville” as it stood in the original law which was found unworkable. They also decided to oppose any attempt of the majority members to suspend the rules and place the bill on its passage, declaring there is an administration move under way to have the members of the Assembly vote for the bill without first knowing what they are voting for. | When the regular session of the Legis"lature passed the present law the visiting committee appointed by former Governor James P. Goodrich recommended that the reformatory be moved adjacent to the State farm which is now located at Putnamville. Soon after Governor Warren T. McCray appointed a committee to select the site for the new institution it was declared that the law was unworkable and that It would be of no economical value to the State to locate tne reformatory adjacent to the farm. Tne reason given for this, it was said by members of the committee, was that the water supply on the present site is inadequate. GILL SAYS WATER 81PFLY ADEQUATE. This is a farce according to Representative Wiiles E. McGill, Democrat, of Putnam County. Deer Creek which now runs through the present farm supplies the institution with 25t>.w> gallons a day and with a thirty foot dam enough water could be placed in tne resivior to supply all the needs of the institution, he asserted. About three miles to the west of the State farm there is another creek, which is capable of supplying the institutions with two and three hundred thousand gallons of water a day, he told the caucus. Across the creek, according to Mr. Gill, there is a farm of about 300 'acres for sale which would be close enough to the penal farm so that the two institutions could be operated under the one head, as was the original plan under the biil passed by the last Legislature. This would bring the water supply of Walnut Creek closer to the institution and would not necessitate the piping of the water to a great extent, and if the State should need a reservoir it would be possible to fobtain a plot of ground which is surrrounded by hills on all except one side, he said. COST OF REMOVAL PI T AT HIGH FIGURE Represenative Albert Clapp. Democrat, Clark County, declared that it would cost the State between sri,0 l >o,ooo and $8,<)00.000 to build anew reformery at any other place. It has cost the State of New Jersey 58.000.000 up to the present date to build their new reformatory and the State of Illinois $0,000,000 to complete its new correctional institution, he asserted. Clark County, according to Mr. Clapp, would be glad to have the reformatory removed to a more central location because of the number of ex-convicts who were formerly inmates of the reformatory ad who are returning to Jeffersonville. Objection to the legislators who are now holding State positions taking their seats in the House today, was decided upon also. These Representatives and Senator have resigned so that they might attend the special session and afterwards they will be reappointed to the former positions, following the precedent of Jesse E. Eschbach. chief examiner of the State board of accounts, who resigned to become Speaker of the House during the special session of 1920. Roscoe C. Barker of Posey County was nominated as the Democratic candidate for Speaker of the House. Representative Thurman A. Gottsehalk, Adams County, was renamed caucus chairman of the House Democrats. LOAN FOR AUSTRIA. VIENNA. Dec. 14 of a big loan to Austria have been practically completed. British, American and French financiers are cooperating.

j Here are three views of the Indiana I Reformatory at Jeffersonville to provide for the removal of which the Indiana Legislature is meeting In special session today. The Reformatory is the first State penal institution established in Indiana, having been established in 1821. five years after the State was admitted to the Union. Plans to move it have been under way since 1918 when a part of it was destroyed by fire. The property has been purchased bv Colgate & Company, which plans to establish a soap factory there as soon as it Is vacated by the State.

Arrangements to move the Reformatory were provided In a bill enacted by the
