Gottschalk alone returned quietly to his seat. “Mr. Speaker. I move that the bill be passed to engrossment,” shouted Oscar A. Ahlgren. Republican floor leader. With the usual smoothness. this motion was declared to have been carried as the last of the_ Democrats were leaving the hall. Gottschalk finally gained recogni tion and said there was no quorum.

Chief Pleased to Hear City Called Sahara “I am highly gratified to think that under my administration Indianapolis has gained national prominence by enforcement of a law that is so easily violated.” said Police Chief Rikhoff today. He had read in The Times the statement of Jack O'Donnell in Collier’s Weekly: “The Sahara of America is Indiana: and in the center of that desert. Indianapolis." “I have been all over the country," said Rikhoff, "and in practically every city I found that booze could be bought over the bar. I feel O’Donnell has told the truth. Attempts to sell liquor over the counter here have been short-lived. I speak from personal Investigations. "Although there still are some violations tiere. we are striving every day to ferret out the law bfcakers."
