LEGISLATURE SWAMPED AS HALF-WAY MARK IS REACHED

INDIANA LEADERS IN CONGRESS ARE ACTIVE WORKERS Senator Watson Shies at Job Bag Which He Will Hold After March 4, NEW HEADED FOR CABINET Lame Ducks Cast About for Possible Means of Support From Administration, BY JOHN' CARSON Timet Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON. D. C.. Feb. 3.—Sen- j ator "Jim” Watson Isn't crazy about the Job bag he will hold after March 4. If you were to accept all the traditions of the practical politician, you would not believe this statement. Political habit has dictated that politicians should curse the civil service system. The politicians themselves insist that that which deprives themj of handing’ out Jobs is all wrong. But Senator “Jim” Watson knows a j thing or two about politics. He knows that every job is a liability instead of an asset, that it is impossible to appoint a postmaster without making ten enemies. He doesn’t want the Job-giving opportunity. Nevertheless, he will have to have it in all those | districts represented by a Democrat ; after March 4. So “Jim” has told every defeated Republican Congress- I man to take all the appointments in his district and to get rid of them. Just what the Indiana lame ducks I are going to do after March 4 is a j question up for discussion here. Sen-1 ator New, of course, is expected to j turn up as Postmaster General. Repre-: sentative Blanc! would like an appointment to the Court of Customs Appeals, j btu he will not get it. Luhning has ] not decided whether he will return to! Evansville or not. The guess is that ' no will not. Representative Dunbar, i not a real lame duck, has planned to go with ths- Citizens Gas Company at Indianapolis Representative Ben- ■ ham probably will go back home. Rep- 1 resentative Kraus has indicated he ] will return to business in his home city. Representative “Dick” Elliott of the Sixth district, will not quarrel with the Indiana legislature if it re-, peals the absent voter law. "I am against it unless they amend ! It.” said Dick. “I’m against it he- 1 cause I think it gives too much op- j portunitv to the corrupt politician. “If we go on under this law. the day will borne when no one will go j to the polls. “It works out that the best organization wins invariably. I don’t think the Democrats got any the best of it in my district last time.” Regardless of all the criticism which has been handed to him. the newspaper fraternity of Washington will miss Senator Harry S. New’ if he does not remain in Washington. New is popular with the newspapermen because be is not charged with being a gumshoe artist. Washington is loaded with the gumshoe officials who are willing to suggest information for the public but who insist at the same time that they must not be quoted. Now New is not of that class. He makes a statement and stands for it. When he talks about things, he isi ready to have his name attached. The newspaper men admire his courage on that score. Representative Sanders of Terre Haute is in place to develop considerable power and prestige during the next session of Congress. Sanders has made an effort to grasp the tricks of parliamentary practice. His learning will help him much. The next House will be very close, politically, and it will be any party’s fight. Nick I.ongworth probably w’iil be floor leader, and although he is well regarded, no one suggests he is I another “Jim” Mann. Longworth knows he will need assistance from, the younger men and he will have i to depend on men with the training Sanders has Fought and obtained. AFTER ALL THIS HENRY MAY NOT LIKE PARTIES Three Arrested After (Happy) Birthday Celebration. Henry Madison, 37, colored. 1555 Co- i lumbla Ave., was in the detention ward at the city hospital today as the result of a free-for-all at his birthday j party Friday night, police said. The most impressive gift that Madi- j son received was a heavy iron clock that was delivered to him on the fore- j head, resulting in a scalp wound three inches long. Madison was charged with vagrancy. Nora Parker, colored, living at the I same address, told police that two women and a man, all colored, guests, i started a free-for-all fight during which dishes were hurled. The police found a razor and a knife with blades open on the front porch. They arrested Nora Fisher. They said they found six half pints of white mule j whisky in the house. Later Irwin Clark, colored, 2149 Kenwood Ave., was arrested on the charge of assault and battery with intent to kill. Police said she said she only hit Madison with a chunk of coal j and that some other person hurled the clock. Young Woman Injured Miss Ethel Woodall, 25, of 652 N. Jefferson Ave.. was taken to the city , hospital today, suffering with a lac-! erated head and bruises about the! shoulders, aitr^lbeing struck by an I automobile di ft by Mike Dimeff, 26. 642 W.

Passenger Dirigible Line Is Planned to Operate Between New York and Chicago

Line Will Be in Operation in Spring of 1924, By EDWARD THIERRY V EA Service Staff Writer Copyright, 1923,. NEA Service. TVTEW YORK, Feb. 3.—An of--1 v fieial announcement is soon to be made that a group , of American millionaires and industrial leaders have completed plans to put into operation a line of passenger airships of the Schuette-Lanz type between New York and Chicago by the spring of 1924. Dr. Johann Schuette, president of the Schuette-Lanz Works of Berlin, who is here attending conferences in New York, Washington and Chicago, confirmed this statement in an exclusive interview with NEA Service. He said: “It Is all settled. One year from new an air service between New York and Chicago will be in operation Some of the biggest people in America are behind us. “The first ship will carry fifty passengers. Construction of it will start when we close pending deals for factories. “Other ships will carry 100. ‘ The fare from New York to Chicago will be the same as by railroad—about SSO. Leave After Theater “Flying time will be eight to nine hours. One airship will leave New York at 11:30 at night, after the theater. Another starts from Chicago at 1 o'clock in the afternoon. Meals will be served; baths will be available. “Next the line will be extended <o St. Louis. Then to San Francisco, j Next, a line connecting Los Angeles, j San Francisco and Seattle. We will I flv from New York to the Pacific coast i in a day.’’ PLOTTO DEPORT CLARA REVEALED (Continued From Page l) ward was offered for her apprehension. Fitzgerald today told of confronting the woman in a Jaurez dive, where she admitted her identity. “I helped Virgil Brown and the other detectives in their efforts to locate her in the Jaurez underworld,’’ he said. • “I was only a few feet away when Brown and Clara met for the first time in Jaurez on the Callie Commerciale. The woman was daintily dressed when Brown came unexpectedly upon her. She wore a light brown coat and in her left-hand pocket , clutched what appeared to be a small automatic pistol. “ ‘Hello. Brown,’ she said. ‘What in hell are you doing here? Are you following me?’ “‘No. I’m not an officer any more; I’m just bumming around,’ said Brown. ‘l’m glad to see you, Clara. I wouldn’t harm you for anything in the world.’ “The woman jerked his coat open and felt under its lapels for a shield. Asks About Peggy “She asked what he had heard from Peggy CafFee. He told her he hadn't heard anything at all from Los Angeles since he left there early in December. •‘When Clara went up the street we followed her, attempting to find out where she was staying. In a barroom dance hall called the California on Calle, Diablei attempted to interview her. “I went over to where she sat and askrd if I might buy her a drink. “ ‘You’re another of those damn dicks.' she said. ‘You get away from here or you are going to get killed.’ “Two men who were afterward identified as the ‘Scurvy Kid,’ who helped her escape, and Jack Miller, a ; cousin of hers by marriage, ranged i up alongside the table. “ ‘Then you admit you’re Clara Phillips,’ I said. “ ‘You’re dead right. I’m Clara Phillips,’ she said. ‘And there aren’t j enough bulls in Mexico and the United I States to take me out. That’s how I | stand.’ ” Fitzgerald said he thereupon backed out of the place. That afternoon an attempt to arrest her was made, but her friends in the underworld were “tipped off” and the effort came to nothing. Later she was put under surveillance by persons who desired to “trade” her j tc the United States authorities for the reward or for Mexican prisoners, and finally she slipped away to Chihuahua. MURDERESS FOLLOWED BY MEXICAN DETECTIVE (Copt/right, I!>SC. bg l nited br. ds) EL PASO, Texas, Feb.. 3.—Clara Phillips, the hammer murderess, who escaped from Los Angeles County jail, has been followed to Chihuahua, Mexico, by an agent of the Mexican National Confidence Service. Today this operative, who had Clara under in Juarez, is close on her trail. He Is also in touch with Mexican government officials, who stand ready to deport Mrs. Phillips on a charge of entering the country in violation of immigration laws. This Mexican secret service agent identified the fugitive when she was in Juarez. Others who identified her are Detectives Joseph Kanius and Ralph Ellis of the El Pas police force; Virgil Brown, former Los Angeles County officer, and John Fitzgerald of the El Paso Post.

SHANK ATTACK AN SANITARY BOARD FACES COLLAPSE House Committee Favors Postponement After Bitter Repartee, Mayor Shank's coveted abolition of the city sanitary commission faced defeat today. The House Committee on Indianapolis, after a public hearing on the Mil to accomplish Sharut's purpose, decided on a divided report, the majority favoring indefinite postponement. The hearing developed into an exchange of bitter repartee between Janies M. Ogden, city at to mo v, representing the mayor, and Lucius B. Swift, member of the commission. Russell B. Harrison, author of the hill, was its sole supporter in the committee. Members for postponement: Edgar A Perkins, Louis C Schwartz Miss Elizabeth Rainey. Clarence C Wysong and Homer L. Traub. Ab sentees: Dr. J. N. Hurty, Luke IV. Duffey. Asa .T. Smith. Ralph E. Updike, Frank E. Cline and George C. Stelhom. Miss Rainey is chairman. Officials Attack Board John L. Efiiott, city engineer: John F. Walker, superintendent city street cleanng: Leo K. Fesler, county auditor, and Merle N. A. Walker, attorney, spoke against the commission. Jay A. Cravens, a member of the conimis'sion, and .Tosepli G. Schmid, president of the Indiana Real Estate Association, spoke for it. Ogden accused Swift of unfair criticism of the Shank administration after the latter termed it "the rottenest ever.” “Why, you’ve never been in Shank's office, have you?" Ogden asked. “No.” Swift replied, "I never go there.” “Well, then, how are you-in a position to make statements regarding, what goes on there?" Ogden asked. Flays Jewelt Regime Merle N. A. Walker flayed the Charles W. Jewett administration and declared “the editorial writer of the Indianapolis News" forced Jewett to appoint Swift on the commission He said the present system of ash and garbage collection is inefficient. Fesler declared politics is necessary in good government. “Your coun'y treasurer handles five times as much money in one month as the commission would in a year. Still you howl about injecting politics Into the question,” Walker said. Cravens denied Walker’s charges. He said he was not chosen througli politics. Elliott said he exacted a promise from Shank when he accepted the engineer's office that the mayor would keep the department free from politics. “For pure scientific judgment.” Elliott said, “the mayor gives me full authority in the employment and discharge of workmen.”

"Why are you so interested?” Lieutenant Governor Branch interrupted. "Aren’t (hey all live ones in Terre Haute?” Batt concluded with a bit of original poetry entitled “Good by. Little Undertaker. Good-by.” Senator Cann plunged into a defense of the bill. “What is yotir occupation?” shouted a Senator from the minority side. “I'm a tombstone dealer," Cann answered. When order was restored half an hour later the bill was passed.

All Important Measures Await Action in Final Month of Session —Appropriation, Speedway, Bonus and Movies Are Centers of Stiff Fights, The seventy-third session of the Legislature passed the halfway mark today, with nearly all important measures still in the future. Not a single measure of importance has been sent to the Governor. Only a very few of any kind have- passed l oth houses. The next thirty days will be busy oues if the Assembly expects to complete what it has started. Here are some tilings to be settled:

The appropriations, including the $2,000,000 asked by Governor McCray to complete the reformatory. The bill prohibiting sporting events to which admission is charged • on Memorial day. The soldier bonus. Motion picture censorship. State regulation of boxing. Some 400 bills still pending.

bight Over Reformatory From the standpoint of the Legislature. the appropriation bill is the big thing, ft is expected to be reported out of the House ways and means committee for consideration of a committee of the whole next week. The greatest difficulty is expected to result from the Governor’s request for the reformatory The : Democratic members are pledged to demand that present cost-plus contracts be cancelled and the work completed by the State with prison labor. They are also pledged to vote for no appropriation for the reformatory | higher than $750,000. Some of the Re- : publican members also are said to be i opposed to the $2,000,000 appropriation. From the standpoint of general interests, the Memorial day bill is the biggest thing. It is expected to be handed down in the House of Repre- ; sentatives next week. One by one friends of the measure have deserted it and indications that the bill will be I killed are strong. Bonus Favored in House The soldier bonus bill, providing for ; the payment of $lO for each month in service of World War and Spanish War veterans already lias been approved bv the House, but has not been finally passed. If it is passed by the Senate, it will go to a referendum in 1924. The proposal to establish a motion picture censorship always results in an interesting fight in the Legislature. The present Assembly is no exception. A hearing, indicating strong forces are at work' on both , sides, has been held. The bill is one of the few important measures now in the Senate. The bill to establish a boxing commission has not been heard from recently. although it is ppnding in the House. It was the subject of a lively f-ght two years ago.

ARREST FOLLOWS POISON ATTEMPT Boarder Accused of Trying 10 Kill Man, “Gee, I couldn't stand to see that man treat that little woman like a dog. He wouldn’t take her any place, and. oh. I just hated him, that's all.” Thus William C. Rudde, 30, of 126 W. Southern Ave.. in jail charged with attempting to kill by poisoning, told why he placed several drops of poison in water and coffee about to be drunk by Harry Hartledge, 133 Baketnyer St., police said.

Budde said he had known Hartlodge’s wife, Lena. 22, for years, having lived with her parents for nine years, according to the police. When she married he became a hoarder in her home, police declared he admitted. Police said Budde obtained the poison at the factory where ho works and placed it first in the water. Hartledge smelled it and avoided drinking. Last Friday Budde was seen to place several drops in the coffee cup and immediately Hartledge ordered him out of the house, police charged. Hartledge complained to police.

BORAH MAY ADD PEASE PLAN ON DEBT MEASURE Parliamentary Strategy Will Be Used to Aid Parley Call, By WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Foreign Editor SNA WASHINGTON, !>. C.. Feb. 3. Senator Borah's u ok..ion calling for a world economic and armaments conference may be rat ked on as an amendment to the British debt funding measure soon to make its appearance in the Senate, Borah intimated i today. He said it was a question of parliamentary strategy, a straight resolution. It would undoubtedly be referred to a committee where it would i probably stay. As part of some very I important bill it would have a better | show. Naval Bill Amended The resolution which resulted in tho , Washington arms conference went through attached to the naval appro- \ priation bill. The British debt-funding measure s expected to go through between now and March 4 so the Senator from Idaho will probably seize upon that as his opportunity. “Interest in the question of international conference for world economic stability and peace," he said, “keeps increasing all over the country. Europe .Asks Barley “Letters from men. even in official position in Europe, are asking more and more that this country do something. They express it this way: They say a ‘new face' is needed at the international table. They give very strong reasons. They say France won’t call a conference: that England can't call one because France would look with disfavor on any conference Great Britain might call, and so on. ),,.ly the United States is in position iO act effectively. “The appeal of German workmen to the congress of the United States was very interesting because they appealed to Congress—that is to the people of the country—rather than to the President.” CALIFORNIA IGNORES JOHNSON’S VIEWS [l:i Times Special SACRAAIKNTO. Feb. 3. —A resolution urging the President to call i world peace meeting was introduced , today in the Senate and assembly of !
