The anti-corset bill which the Anna Lee Anti-Corset Society had decided to present in the Indiana Legislature at this session will not be introduced until the next session, two years hence, it was learned today. The postponement was determined upon to give the society more time in which to arouse public sentiment against the tight laces to which it attributes many ills. The bill planned by the society would impose a SSOO fine on any one convicted of manufacturing or selling corsets. Mrs. Anna.

INDIANAPOLIS, THURSDAY, FEB. 1, 1923

LEGION WISH IS DEFEATED BY SPEAKER Morgan Overrules Governor ’on Memorial Day Measure, Renewed efforts of American Legion officials to bring the Memorial day bill to a vote in the House of Representatives today failed. After obtaining the consent of Governor McCray to bring out the bill making the holding of the Speedway race and other athletic events on Memorial day illegal ahead of administration measures, backers of the bill ran into a stone wail in Raymond C. Morgan, Speaker. “It will not come up for second reading until next week,” he said. Opponents of the bill were jubilant. They insisted that postponement has insured defeat of the measure. Perry Faulkner, legion State commander, said today he did not know whether or not he would be willing to meet with commanders of Marion County posts to discuss his attempted suspension of posts opposing the Memorial day bill. The county commanders, in session at the Hotel Severin from 7:30 p. m. Wednesday until long after midnight, made numerous vain efforts to find Faulkner. Charges were made that he was being kept in hiding by members of the legion legislative committee and his advisers. Dr. W. B. Hendricks, commander of the Perry-Stephenson Post, reported his organization had gone on record against the bill with only one dissenting vote. This was cast by Joseph Minturn, oldest Word War veteran in Indiana. The executive committee of the Hayward-Parous Post voted unanimously against the bill. Os the twenty-six posts In Maroln County, fourteen have voted against the bill, and only one, the Y M. C. A. (colored) post, has voted for it. Resentment of the commanders was directed against Claude Gregg, chairman of the legislative committee, and Philip Stapp, editor of the Hoosier Legionnaire, rather than against Faulkner. The charge was made many times that these men were Faulkner's confidential adviers and were responsible for the trouble. At the largest meeting of the Rainhow Veterans’ Association In more than a year, Byron H. Young was elected president unanimously to s icceed Dr. Edward Dubois, who died last week. Humphrey Harrington, deposed as State judge advocate by Faulkner several days ago, requested them not to take action in his behalf until after the Memorial day bill fight is settled. Harrington received official notice of his dismissal Thursday. Harrington pointed out that in a public statement Faulkner accused Harrington of “betraying" legion interests. No mention of this was made in the letter, which stated that Harrington’s attitude was “mlsrepresentative unity of the American Legion.” No meeting of the State executive committee will be hNd at this time, Faulkner said today. Tuesday night the Marion County commanders requested him to call the committee to discuss the matter of suspension of posts. It was announced Wednesday that a meeting had been called for Friday. Faulkner would not say why this plan had been changed. Senator Clem S. Richards of Terre Haute received a telegram from H. IT. Clare, commander of the Rainbow Veterans’ Association of Terre Haute, saying the association was opposed to the bill unanimously. SENATE TO DISCUSS ROADS Employment of Commissioners Is Special Order. Whether county commissioners shall be given the power to build roads as contractors, and paid while so engaged at the rato of $4 a day will be considered as a special order of business in the Senate at 2 o’clock Monday. The bill was introduced by Senator Jacob Lutz. Copies of the measure were ordered printed. FORT POLICE HOLD TWO Edwin Koeler, 23, gardener, R. F. D. 255, and Clifford Douglas, 34, of 71 N. Warman Ave., were arrested today on charges of selling liquor to soldiers at Ft. Benj. Harrison.

At this crucial point, unless the forecast fails, Mr. Ground Hog will perceive in front of him a darn form hugging the earth. Suspecting some trickery, or perhaps fearing a deadly enemy about to attack him, our Don Quixote will turn upon his heel and scurry back into the safe privacy of his home for six weeks more of sleep.

YOUTH IS HELD IN CAR HOLD-UP Second Summoned for Questioning—Victims Will Be Called to Aid in Police Investigation,

Police today held Albert Magenheimer, 21, of Kensington Court, 1128 N. Illinois St., on a vagrancy charge under $5,000 bond for questioning in their investigation of the hold-up by two young masked bandits of a Martinsville interurban south of Maywood Tuesday night. Sheriff George Snider said another man, who was not under arrest, had been requested to come to police headquarters and be questioned. Passengers who were victims in the hold-up will see the two men, the sheriff said. Magenheimer insisted he knew nothing of the affair and maintained he was not a vagrant, his father, who was killed in an accident near Ft. Harrison in 1917 having left him an estate. The police went to Mooresville in hopes that Dr. C. B. Comer, who was

long sleep, he will not have perceived that the cause of his flight was only his shadow. So six weeks more of winter will be in store. The Aarvark—for that is Mr. Ground Hog’s real name—is, according to those fortunate ones who have caught a glimpse of him, very much like a short-legged pig and is usually about a foot long. He is a peaceful creature. His chief delight is devouring ants, the Encyclopedia says. Hoosier farmers testify he likes grain, too. Or-

William Wolf, owner of the barn, declared there was nothing in the barn that would have started the blaze. Grocery and Post office The building in which Hilkene and his family lived was a business block. J. H. Rethmeyer owned a grocery on the first floor, and the postoffice was located in tho same room. John W. Hilkene is postmaster. Charles Hilkene was awakened by the smell of smoke. Fireman declared either oil or gasoline had exploded in tho store, The flames spread so rapidly that before Hilkene had awakened his wife and son Paul, 14, and his mother-in-law, Mrs. W. Tague, smoke filled the second floor. They made their way down a smoke-filled stairway, taking time only to wrap some bed clothing around them. Six Miles in Seven Minutes Almost 100 men and boys formed a bucket brigade. A hand pump also was used. The Indianapolis Headquarters Company and the Irvington company answered calls for help. Tho Irvington company made the distance of six miles in seven minutes, and citizens of Cumberland today declared the timely arrival of tho Indianapolis firemen prevented not only destruction of the building, but a serious neighborhood fire. Tho flames had threatened to spread. Some stock in the Rothrroyer store was carried out, but damage was heavy. Damage to the post office was mostly from water.

recognized and spoken to by or of the boy bandits during the “Jesse James” hold-up, could identify a suspect arrested at Waverly. Dr. Comer said the man was “entirely too small.” Sheriff George Snider returned at 4 a. m. today from Martinsville, where he had been investigating other clews. The county and city posses were sent out after the robbers had got a six-teen-hour start due to failure to notify the sheriff until Wednesday morning. The robbery occurred at 8:25 p. m., on the Martinsville division of the traction line, in jurisdiction cf the county sheriff. Police were notified an hour later. One theory advanced was that two youthful book agents, who Monday night made an unsuccessful attempt to rob the railroad station at Manilla, a small town a few miles southeast of Indianapolis, were the robbers.

The Ground Hog is known scientifically as the Marmota Monax—but more famibary as the woodchuck. Farmers testify he considers corn a delicacy. He is about the size of a pig and the grizzled reddish brown of his fur provides a natural camouflage from which his nickname Is derived.

■ HUES ARE GUI OFF BY FRENCH Forty More Officials Are Expelled as Reprisal Measure. BY CARL D. GROAT United Press Staff Correspondent BERLIN, Feb. I.—Drastic and severe repression of German resistance in the Ruhr and Rhineland followed completion of the first series of Franco-Belgium measures to enforce reparations today. Forty more Ruhr officials were ordered expelled today, including the burgomasters of Horne and Cleve. Requisiting of coal was started French troop, at Bochum. Two officials who protestedflHjH ai rested. The German miners in reprisal, whereupon troops-cleared the Weit Mar mine and stood guard, struck in reprisal, whereupon troops cleared the. Weit Mar mine and stood guard. N The'whole attitude of the invaders was reported as more severe than hitherto. The rich Ruhr valley, whence Germany ordinarily draws more than half her entire fuel supply, was completely cut off from the rest of the country. Not an ounce of coal was permitted to leave the district for German destinations. At the same time German customs stations which formerly had served for collections on goods entering the country from Belgium, France and I, ax uni berg were taken over entirely by the . French. The latter replaced with triqpps and French civilians such employes as quit, and proceeded immeVliately about the business of collecting) customs. \ More and more French troops motyed into the Ruhr district i oday, until reports from certain districts made it appear as though the occupation had just begun. Among the forces that were sent in, however, were included many troops trained in railroad work. Essen, central city of Ruhr fuel in-dustx-y, bore the brunt of the invasion. Completely isolated from the outside, world as far as rail or wire communication were concerned, the city even began to feel the pinch of hunger. The entire Ruhr was not without a touch of this, in fact. With transportation disrupted, distribution of foodstuffs was seriously hindered. The French are buying out private stores, sending prices rocketing. The German government is preparing to establish motor trucks to run foodstuffs in and out of the Ruhr should rail communication be completely cut off. The shortage of milk is most severe, while meat grows scarcer day by day in the occupied zone. LAKE CO. DEFENDANTS TO ENTER PLEAS FRIDAY Seventy-five residents of Lake County, defendants in the Gary liquor conspiracy cases, will be arraigned before Judge Albert B. Anderson in Federal Court Friday morning. M lyor Roswell O. Johnson, William M. Dunn, city judge; Dwight M. Kinder, prosecuting attorney; Clyde Hunter, former prosecutor; William H.
