Although a close watch was kept no such committee was sent for Albert J. Beveridge, -who will be Senator New’s opponent in the primary. Senator New was not far from the committee room and responded at once. Cheers could be heard through the closed doors of the room. The Senator, according to statements of persons who afterward left the meeting, asked for confidence In the Administration at Washington. He told the committee members that the President has a great Cabinet and a hard working Congress. He said the Administration Is accomplishing great things in the fac> of almost ui.surmountable difficulties. He did not discuss his candidacy. The members of the committee oppointed to invite Senator New to speak are Will J. Robinson of Lebanon, Thomas J. Jackson of New Albany and Fred Ewing of Princeton.

SOLEMN CEREMONIES MARK POPE’S BURIAL Only Cardinals, Roman Nobility and Other Notables Witness Rites. ROME, Jan. 26. —Pope Benedict’s mortal remains were interred today in the vault of St. Peter’s. With ceremonies unforgettable for picturesqueness and solemnity, the body was placed in its casket and borne to the sarcophagus. Only Cardinals of the church, attending clergy, members of the diplomatic corps and representatives of the Roman nobility viewed tho impressive rites.

Starting at 3 p. m. the services were finished an hour later. A vast throng stood outside the cathedral during the ceremony. The burial service was begun when the cardinals of the Sacred College; each carrying a lighted candle, began arriving by interior corridors and stairways from the Sistlne Chapel in the adjoining Vatican. They were escorted by the Patriatehs and heads of the religious orders and took their scats In the Sacrament Chapel where the body of Pope Benedict was lying in state. x Then there arrived from the Sacristy of St. Peter’s where it had formed, the procession of the canous Einging the Miserere. In the chapel three separate groups were formed by the relatives, personal servants and domestic prelates of the late Pontiff. The Swiss guards were massed in the background while the noble and Palatine guards were grouped closely about the bier. The Pope’s private chaplains and secretaries advanced toward the bier knelt and then slowly lifted the body of the Pontiff and placed it in a wooden coffin lined with white silk. Cardinal Merry del Val, as Arch Priest of the Basilica of St. Peters, descended from the altar with his assistants and took his place in front of the coffin. The bier, borne by the four private chaplains of the Pope, was surrounded by a detachment of the noble guards while the canons of St. Peter's acted as an escort of honor to the Sacred College. DELEGATES .JOIN IN PROCESSION. Slowly, as the bier moTed out from the Sacrament Chapel in to the main body of Baslcilica, delegates to the Sacred College fell into line two by two followed by members of the Pope’s family all dressed in deepest mourning and finally priests and clergy. The procession moved slowly to tiie singing of the Sistlno choir, accompanied by the huge organs of St. Peter's. Tho spectacle was seen In Its full grandeur when after crossing from the right to the left nave of the Basilica, it swung under the great central nave halting for a few seconds in front of the bronze statue of St. Peter and next In front of the confessional where the statue of Pope Clement XIII kneels In the act of prayer. The procession then moved toward the entrance to the vault, the choir beginning the anthem ‘ln Paradisium.” One by one, the highest dignitaries of the church in their pontifical robes gave absolution. The anthem "Ingredior” was then sung after which Cardinal Merry del Val gave the body of tho Pontiff final absolution. The four private chaplains placed the plain wooden coffin in one of cypress. Then three bags containing the gold, silver and bronze medals struck during

The coffin lid then was nailed and over each nail was affixed the seal of the Maggiordomo and the arch priest of the Vatican. The casket of cypress was placed In one of zinc which in turn was enclosed in a chestnut case and amid the chanting of the choir deposited in the temporary sarcophagus. * Before and after the Pope's funeral preparations for confining members of the Sacred College in the Vatican during the voting for u new Pope went forward.

WORLDUNREST SHOWS LITTLE IMPROVEMENT Poor Old Globe Is in Muddled State. ‘ FARMER ASKS AID Observer Sees Situation Through Dark Glasses. Special to Indiana Daily Times and Philadelphia Putdlc Ledger. By COL. EDWARD M. HOUSE. PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 26.—The feeling of restlessness and dissatisfaction throughout the world shows but little indication of abatement At home we find the people chafing under the yoke of high taxes, high cost of living and the depression in trade. There is the curious anomaly of raw materials selling below the cost of production and goods manufactured from those same materials retailing at a price which makes living conditions difficult. Whether this condition exists because of the reluctance of the retailer to reduce prices or whether it is because of the costs of transportation is a matter of opinion. In desperation tho American fnrmers have formed themselves into a "bloc" and are seeking relief through legislation. They have been accustomed to see this form of relief sought by manufacturers; and in their days of stress they naturally turn in the same direction. It is doubtful whether the result of their efforts will bo satisfactory, for it 1s much moro difficult, even temporarily, to stimulate the prices of agricultural products In this country than it is to stimulate the prices of manufactured articles. Perhaps if they would use their undoubted political power toward bringing down the prices of articles essential to their farm- i ing operations and living e*pne*’s quicker and moro beneficial results would ac- j crue. ‘•BLOC" ACTION HELD MISTAKE. It la to be regretted the "bloc” has demanded and received (he sanction of the Senate for a farmer member Os tho ■ Federal Reservo Board. This Is class legislation of a regrettable type and will not accomplish the purpose intended, Tomorrow the manufacturers I may demand a member, and later labor also may demand one, and so on down the list until this beneficent institution is wrecked.

Charles Garland, young philosopher, will be arrested if he attempts to live with any woman but his legal wife ot his farm near here, the police warned today. Chief of Police Alden C. Sisson, in a statement said : “I am not interested at all In what Garland says. I am not interested In what the man is alleged to have said regarding free love or a free love colony, but if evidence is presented to me whereby any law is broken by Garland he will lie treated the same as any other individual. At present there is no evidence in my possession that would warrant any move.”

HARTMAN FACES NEW CHARGE OF STOLEN GOODS Evans Explains Reason for Another Indictment in Case. Another Indictment charging J. Herbert Hartman, former Republican nominee for city Judge, with receiving stoleu property, was returned by the grand Jury in Criminal Court today. This indictment was necessitated by • recent decision of the Supreme Court In which it was held, m a case of receiving stolen goods, evidence could not be Introduced showing tho defendant had received stolen goods after the goods referred to In tho indictment had been received, according to William I’. Evans, proscutlng attorn y. Mr. Evans stateo In the present Indictment Hartman is charged with receiving a fur coat from Frank Francis, alias Frank Moore, and the time of tho receipt of this coat was not known at the time the other indictment was returned against Hartman. This coot, the indictment charges, Is of fur uni. Is valued at SSOO. it la alleged to have been stolon by Francis from Anna Tazpley of Louisville, Ky. INDICTMENT FAILS TO COVER THEFT. The presence of this coat among other property said to have been found in possession of Hartman, was not known when tho indictment was returned, and, following the decision of the Supreme Court it was decided, according to Mr. Evans, to have anew indictment reftirned against Hartman so this defense could not be used by him in this cuse. Twelve Indictments were returned by the grand jury, among them being the Hartman Indictment and one charging Arthur Welling with unlawfully having explosive In Ills possession. Welling, who is said by the police to be a wanted cracksman, was arrested in connection with Edward Stevens, both being charged with unlawfully having explosives in their possession. They were arrested at the Hotel Feverln and among their possessions i*as a quantity of nitroglycerin and other high explosives and a set of burglar tools, said by police to be the most complete they had ever seen. Stevens Is now serving a term at Michigan City. When lie was setn to prison tiie original indictment was sent with , him and since both ho and Welling were indicted jointly anew indictment was re- j turned against Welling.

SQLONSSTART MOVE ON‘BONUS’ FOR SOLDIERS Study Best Means to Raise $800,000,000 Needed First Year. WASHINGTON, Jan. 28-The work of framing soldiers “bonus” legislation ! started today In the House Ways and Means Committee with unofficial conferences among members as to the least 1 objectionable tax that might be levied to raise an estimated $500,009,000 needed for the first year of the "bonus” law. It was the opinion of members of the j committee and of some House leaders a form of sales tax would be agreed upon finally by the Way* and Means Conii mittee as most likely to cause the least friction and complaint. The committee set out promptly on Its task both in response to the demand that the legislation should be enacted without delay and to head off any criticism that might come from House Republican members who will caucus tonight for the purpose of hastening the “bonus.” The caucus is scheduled to declare for the “bonus” and pledge the House leaders ■ to Its prompt report from the Ways and ! Means Committee and Its continuance j before the House as unfinished business j until passed. The Ways and Means Committee Is to be left free to provide means ; for payment of the “bonus” either by j tax receipts or partly from tax receipts j and foreign debt principal and Interest payments, but the caucus will declare In favor of *tbe bill carrying measures for making It effective. Ways and Means Committee members announced there would be no change In the plan of offering five alternative plans of adjusted compensation—cash. Insurance, home aid, farm aid, and laufi settlement. This plan was approved a few months ago by the committee and remains satisfactory. The difficult question facing the committee is the kind, size and character of the special “bonus” tax and the length of time it shall run. It Is possible the tax will be levied for one year, “bonus” payments thereafter to be made from principal and Interest of foreign loans.
