G. 0. P. RANKS IN HOUSE SPLIT

Dissension Follows Naming* of Committees —Leaders Strive to Hold Slim Majority to Party Lines. Desperate efforts were being made today to keep in line the small Republican majority in the House of Representatives, in preparation for the reopening of the assembly Monday. The Republicans have a majority of only four in the House and there are already indications that some of the members will bolt. The switching of only two Republican votes from the party ranks would be sufficient to cause a tie in the House. A meeting of some of the House leaders was held behind closed

MEFIISB YORK THROBBING ms mi Dir Little Frenchman Declares He Is Not a Healer, but a Teacher.

Imagination Bu I ni*rii Xrir* NEW YORK Jan. s—Emile Coue wants Am idea to cherish no false hopes that he will prov to be a miracle man. “I came as one vrho would in a teacher and help mankind in a practical way.” he said today as he prepared for his American lecture tour. “The subconscious mind is able, through an exercise of the imagination, to ivercom-- Unconscious mind it the exercise of will power in the accomplishment of betterments. I make no claim in contravention of the basic ideals of any religiousfaith. I have never cured anybody in all my life. I am not going to cure anybody on this trip. “If I can succeed in helping others so to understand themselves that they can improve their physical condition and achieve better health and hap piness I shall have lived up to the only claims I have ever made. Above all I do not desire to be expected to perform magic feats.”

By United Xetcs By WESTBR.OOK PEGLER NEW YORK, Jan. s.—Emile Coue, the little Franchman who drives away the ills that ail you without the knife, th* pill box or the laying-on of hands, arrived Thursday in a world that was new to him and found It throbbing to the rhythm of his maddening sing-song, “Day by day in every way ” His therapeutic phrase, as simple and a-s haunting as “Old Mother Hubbard, she went to the cupboard," was before his eyes in every metropolitan newspaper. The old equare wheels of the “L” trains rattled It off and the clatter and bang of the traffic fell into the meter of “Day by day In every way, I'm getting Letter and better." “I Merely Help” “Please,” he said, an earnest little fellow with frosted hair, mustache and Vandyke, “please to understand that I am not a doctor, but a teacher with a message to humanity; that I do not cure, but merely help; that my method is not a substitute for existing methods, but merely an adjunct to them.” An able and a skeptical editor confessed to curing himself of a cronic roaring in his ears which had troubled Ills sleep since boy-hood, by lepeatlng over and over to himself “day by day—.” Mrs. Grace Crawley Oakley, assistant manager of the Hotel Pennsylvania, said she had obviated a formidable operation ordered by a distinguished surgeon, through constant and determined repetition of the panacean jingle—“day by day in every way— This Puzzles Him Coue still is in some doubt as to how he stands with the medical authorities. He does not want to be accused of practicing as a doctor or faith healer. The visit of Monsieur Coue recalls the world-wide exploitation of Dr. Frar.cz Frederick Freedman, the young German specialist in pulmonary tuberculosis, his visit to America adocade ago. Whether Freedman was sincere doesn’t matter. His serum failed and with it failed the hope of those who had no hope. Dr. Alonzo Lorenz of Vienna performed many operations in his “bloodless surgery” in his three visits to America, and in many eases of record actually made the lame to walk.

‘GUNMEN INCITED HERRIN KILLINGS'

Witnesses Declare Imported Guards Cause of Massacre. By United Pres* AIARIOX, 111., Jan. 6.—“ The rioting of last June, known as the ‘Herrin massacre,’ was caused by the importation of professional gunmen who committed acts of challenge, assault, abuse, highway robbery and murder, thus inciting a peaceful community to riot." Counsel for the defense in the first Herrin massacre trial believed today this statement had b.-en proved to the twelve jurors who will decide the guilt or innocence of five men accused of murdering Howard Hoffman during the riot of June 22. “Alibi” witnesses will atetmpt to prove the five defendants were not members of the mob that killed Hoffman. on & now Line of evidence.

Duffey of Indianapolis as chairman of the House committee on employment, known as the “plunder” committee. This is the committee which has charge of the distribution of patronage. Representative Harry Rowbottom of Evansville had understood lie was to be chairman of the committee. When Duffey was named chairman Rowbottom promptly refused to serve or. the committee and served notice he did not care for any other appointments. It is understood he was sent for by Governor McCray and that an effort was made to get him back in line.

DR GEORGE R. CHRISTIAN ITII DAV'S CATCH DF BLACK ROI'PERS IN FLORIDA. BE AY, DR HBiSTIAN AND IUS TOO POUND SEA BASS.

While inos- citizens of Indianapolis are shivering in the January breezes, Dr. George R. Christian, deputy coroner of Marion County, has D "ti enjoying the Ashing at Tarpon Springs Fla Devotees of the rod and reel know that Tarpon Springs has wond-u-fully protected fishing w, t ers and a large variety if game fish, which can be taken easily The waters are so protected that they are absolutely safe at all times for any size craft from a canoe to a steamboat. One can fish at Tarpon Springs from hank, dock, walk, r*-a wall, boat or bridge, as suits his fancy. One of the many fish caught by Dr. Christian was a sea bans, caught in the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Florida near Tarpon Springs. The p<-a bass weighed 700 pounds. It was seven feet one inch in length and five feet two inches in circumference. Dr. Christian used a three fourths inch line and a fiveeighths inch hook. For bait he lists a sixteen-pound rovalla, a fish similar to the one lying across the mouth of the bass at the time the picture was taken. It required one hour and fifteen minutes and tho assistance of four men to land the bass. Dr. Christian hns not devoted all of his time at Tarpon Springs to fishing for sea bass. In one day at the mouth of the Arcato River and the Gulf of Mexico near Tarpon Springs resulted In the landing cf fifteen black groupers, the weight of which varied from five to eleven pounds. present one to be tom down In tho war memorial plaza, will lie introduced by Representative Addington of Farmland.
