SAYS ENGLISH SENATOR FROM MARION COUNTY Attorney General Gives Opinion on Representation of New District. Senator WiUiam E. English represents Marion County alone in the State Senate of the General Assembly and not Johnson County and Marion County, according to an opinion handed down today by Attorney General S. Lesh. The new Senator to be elected next fall, according to the apportionment act passed by the last session of the. Legislature, will represent Johnson County and Marion County. Senator English was elected as a joint Senator originally, but his status was changed by the 1921 apportionment act. JOHNSON COUNTY TO HAVE FART IN CHOOSING. ✓ Attorney General lesh's opinion states that the people of Johnson County would be represented in the Legislature by a S' uator wh"m they had no part in choosing if Senator English was to represent them and a Joint Senator not elected this fall. Elections to the State Senate, it was pointed out, are biennial, but for a Period of four years, and according to Leah's construction of the constitution, bo c mtj is to tie divided in legislativreappo rt ion ment. The opinion in the case, which was asked for in February, affects a similar situation in Allen, Noble and. De Kalb Counties. In a case recently tried at Franklin to test the constitutionality of the reapportionment it was decided that Johnson County could not be coupled with Marion County. Tha case, however, will have to be decided by the Supreme Courtand the Lesh opinion will hold until the decision of the higher court is reached. LESSENS CHANGE OF NAMING DEMOCRAT. Johnson County is making a fight against being coupled with Marlon County because of the fact that Johnson County is considered a reliably Democratis County while the change. It is believed, was contemplated with a view of lessen- | ing the chance of a Democratic Senator being named. The attorney general's opinion in part, follows: “The courts have held that the integrity of the county, as a governmental subdivision of the State, is made an e? ential feature in every valid plan of apportionment. In one case the court said, "The people of a county have common Interests and objects peculiar to themselves and intimate public relations with each other. Hence, when the Constitution was formed, it was deemed of vital importance that the integrity of counties in the formation of legislative districts should be thus carefully guarded to the e r .d that each county having sufficient population should have its own representatives in the Legislature, chosen by its own electors and them only and owing no divided, perhaps conflicting. allegiance to any other constituency." "As to Marion County, in my opinion Senator English now rep ,-sents Marion County alone and the new Senator to lie elected nxt fall will represent Marlon and Johnson Counties. “I am informed by the State Historical Bureau that a similar situation was so handled in the year 1897 under the 1885 apportionment law where the next apportionment law in 1897 made changes similar to those in 1921. In that Instance it affected a holdover Senator from the dl-rrict of Marion, Hancock and Shelby a* created in 1885. while the 1897 : act cut off Hancock and Shelby and sub- j stitut 1 Morgan. It was there held that the old joint Senator from the three counties only represented Marlon county and an- w S-naror was elected from the new district of M-irlon and Morgan."

I know it is only a beginning. "If we fail, the outlook for the future is dark indeed. The best hope of the world for future peace Is In the people of the United Stales. If we fail, who can hope for success? "We called this conference, we proposed these treaties, declarations and agree ments.

Stork Beats Grim Reaper in Indianapolis Marathon Births Outnumber Deaths Two to One, According to Report.

While the death rate per 1,000 Inhabitants was dropping to the lowest level since 1909 the birth rate in Indianapolis soared to the highest point in history of the city during 1921, a chart completed today by C. Tom Johnson, chief clerk of the board < f public health, shows. The dea'h rate dropped to 13.10 per 1,000 inhabitants while the birth rate rose to 22.:*p. In other words babies were born almost twice as fast ns people died, giving Uie lie to theorist who thinks the country is going to the dogs because of race -suicide. Among lnf*resting things shown by the chart is the fall ami rise of births during the war period. In 1917 the stork had a birth rata of 20.40 to his credit. In 1918 the rate kept up to 20 55. In 1919, however, it dropped to 19.41. All birth rate records were broken In 1920 when the rate was 21.42. Mr. Stork kept right on the Job, with tbo result the 1921 rate was nine-tenths of a birth greater than iu 1920. _ The high light of the death figures Is the rife in the rate in 1917 and 1918 and its subsequent fall. Pneumonia and Influenza forced the rate up to 10.10 In 1917 and 17.0 tln 1918. The latter was the highest rate in the last twenty years, excepting 1910, when it was 17.28. The average for the last ten years was 15.05. Following the "flu" epidemic of 1911191.8 there was a drop to 13.90 In 1919. Deaths went up to 14.80 in 1920, however, due to disease of the heart and arteries, Dr. Herman G. Morgan, secretary of the board of public health, said. Only two out of the last twenty years have shown lower death rates tbnn 1921. In 1909 the rate was 12.07 end iu 1908, 12.40. Comparison of bltrh and death rates

for the last twenty years are given below. Year Death Rate. Birth Rate. 1903 13.31 20.05 1903 14 11 18.03 1904 ...1 15.56 18.05 190.5 14.51 19.20 1900 13 61 19.23 1907 13.90 19.09 lists 12.40 19.92 19u8 12.67 is. 35 1910 17.28 20.04 1911 15.58 20.87 1912 15.08 19.33 1913 15.03 19.93 1914 15.41 20.00 1913 14.49 19.00 1910 15.50 20.30 1917 10.10 20.40 191.8 17.01 20.55 1910 13.90 19.41 1920 14.80 21.42 1921 13.10 22.32 During the ten years ending with 1911, tho average birth ruto whs 19.40. In the decade ending with 1921, it was 20.26. The death rate for the decade ending with 1911 was 14 30 and for that ending with 1921 was 15.05. NEGRO BANDIT KILLED. MINNEAPOLIS.

J. H. MAPLES 426 E. Merrill Street says: "I have followed the shoemaker's trade for years and sitting in a cramped position so much strained ray kidneys and brought on backache. I could hardly bend or straighten at times and my kidneys did not act freely enough and the socretions were unnatural and burned In passage. I have read of Doan’B- v Kldney Pills and after using them the trouble disappeared. I take Doan's every once in awhile now to keep my kidneys In good condition so the tnuble will not return.”

REBELLIOUS LEADERS NEGOTIATE FOR PEACE LIMERICK, Ireland, March B.— “ Peace negotiations” are under way between leaders of the rebel republican army and 1 Richard Muleahy, former chief of staff j of the Irish army and now minister of defense In the Irish provision government at Dublin. It is believed a solution of the troubles will be found. One thousand additional members of the Irish Repubflenn Army have arrived here. Up to noon there had been no disorders, although the rival forces were evidently ready for trouble. The six barracks have been taken over by the loyal forces, who are occupying them. An armored car with the Sinn Fein flag flying over it patroled tho streets throughout the day. It was the original plan of the revolters in the Irish Republican array to make Limerick the rallying point for an attack against the Irish provisional government at Dublin, it was learned. The revolutionary plans, however, have apparently failed. Reinforcements of loyal troops have arrived and the loyalists outnumber the rebels five to one. Richard Muleahy, minister of defense in the Dublin cabinet, said the loyal soldiers have the situation in hand. Muleahy, evidently acting under instructions from his government, entered Into negotiations with the leader of the rebels shortly after his arrival In Limerick. MAY RECALL TROOPS FROM LIMERICK LONDON, March B.— The British government is considering the withdrawal of all British troops from the Limerick district, the Irish office announced this afternoon.

Interests Clash in ex-OfficiaPs Affairs Conflicting interests of the wife and mother of Otto L. Coyle of Shelbyville, formerly clerk of Shelby County, are being straightened out today by Harry C. Sheridan, referee in bankruptcy, in a hearing at the Federal building. Coyle recently filed a voluntary petition in bankruptcy in Federal Court. Both his wife and "his mother, Mrs. Jessie Coyle, have Indorsed notes and mortgages given by the bankrupt to creditors. Tho question before the referee is as to which of the interests shall take precedence over the other. There seems to be a chance that there will be some money left after all debts are paid and in this case it becomes important as to whether the interests of the wife or mother take precedence. It is believed that the debts wffl amount to about. J 50.000.
