THREE ATTEMPTS 10 AMEND BONUS FAIL IN SENATE Measure !s Now Ready for Final Action in Upper House, Friends of the bonus blocked three attempts to amend the measure on second reading today and sent the bill to engrossment in the Senate, after a heated debate. Supporters of the bill believed any amendments would mean the death of the measure, since the House must concur in amendments, and probably would not have time to do this before the end of the session. An amendment offered by Senator Baxter to cancel provisions of the measure if Congress should vote a Federal bonus before the referendum proposal ,-n the Indiana bill is to he Shield, was tabled on motion of Senator |rni. 24 to 18. Senato'- Lindley's motion to permit only taxpayers to vote in tin, referendem was tabled on motion of Senator Cann. Bindley said since taxpayers must pay the bonus, they should he the only ones permitted to vote. A motion of Senator Daily amending the hill to , xdude Spanish war veterans from provisions of the bonus was tabled on motion of Senator Knglish. Building Psrmits Yiewesrh & Kiefer, garage, 1318 N.

INFLATION MOVES REFLECT BETTER BUSINESS TONES Commodity Averages During Past Month Show Unprecedented Gains, STEEL SHOWS STRENGTH Industrial List Is Active at Higher Average Levels Reached on Bull Mart. THE WALL STREET JOURNAL NEW YORK. March 3. —Inflation tendencies are growing, according to the week-end trade reviews, which tell of steadily increasing demand at rising prices. Commodity averages in February scored a greater proportionate rise than in any month for several years and all indications point to a further progress in the same direction before a check is met. In view of this foundation for the current uprush in the stock market, practical observers held today that the diversion of speculative interest into steel shares on an active scale could not be interpreted to indicate the end of the movement. Strength in U. S. Steel, Bethlehem and Republic and other leading independents will do more to stimulate public buying than an advance in any other group. Steel's buoyancy on Friday was not without its influence on early dealings. Trading broadened and the whole industrial list wan active at the higher average level reached on the present bull market. First Hour. After holding back in the face of January’s remarkably good earnings statements and the prospects of equally favorable showing this month, rails finally developed activity at rising prices. New York Central led the carriers. reaching anew 1923 high before 11 a. ni. Atchison attained a record 1923 price and Baltimore & Ohio and Northern Pacitie followed. C. & 0., Cnion Pacific, Canadian Pacific and Rock island scored substantial gains over recent lows and the volume in the whole rail group attained proportions comparable to the turn-over among industrials for the first time since the start of the marker's present aggressive movement. Steel common continued to lead the industrials, reaching anew 1923 record. ( losing Hour

Early profit taking came into the industrial list, but its effect on spec lative sentiment was nullified by a remarkable outburst of strength in the whole rail group. Wall Street has awaited this development for several weeks as the logical sequence to tlm substantial improvement in earnings accruing from the record volume of traffic handled since the beginning of the year. Industrials steadily climbed all week into new high ground for the primary forward movement, but the relative sluggishness of the carrier stocks caused many observers to be skeptical regarding the continuance of the upswing. Twenty active industrial stocirs Saturday averaged 104.51, off .14 per cent. Twenty ctive rails averaged 90.83, up .97 per cent. Local Bank Clearings Indianapolis bank clearing’s Saturday were S3.f.VU)OO: for tlio week, $‘22.1 84.000. Bank debits Saturday were 50**00,000; for the week, 54-,*263,000.

March 3.—The short session on the curb today was marked by an active market for Standard Oil of Indiana and New York, Mutual, Humble Oil, the copper and lead stocks and household products. Other sections of the market were dull, but the activity of the stocks mentioned at rising prices gave the appearance of strength. Standard of Indiana, still under the influence of its good 1923 earnings statement, mounted to anew high. Since: the issuance of the statement the stocje lias had a gradual climb, which is healthier than a sudden jump. Standard of New York got above 48 yesterday and held its price and put a fractional gain on top of it in the- current session. Mutual was at ir,i;, without change. Vacuum did not better its position. Ohio Copper, Tonopah Extension and Independence Bead were the most active of the cheap minngs. Household Products went to 38 and above. PhilHps-Morris at 19 was up 1.

CD GRIS MAKE SHARP DROP Rains in Southwest Bolster Prospects for Good Crop. Hu I'nilcd Financial CHICAGO. March 3. —Rain in the Southwest, relieving some of the winter wheat territory which has been direiy in need of moisture, caused grain prices to break on the Hoard of Trade today. Some rains reported in the extreme IKirtions of the winter wheat belt and the forecast for Kansas arid Nebraska of ram or snow checked the demand. Traders had apparently become confused over the widely divergent state ments from leaders in the last day or two regarding the condition of the market. Armour elevators interests intimated that on July 1 the world s carry-over of wheat would be up--proximately 247:000,000 bushels as compared with 188,000,000 last year. There was only a moderate trade in corn and prices were in sympathy with wheat. The cash demand was quiet. Receipts were liberal throughout the country. Export buying was reported in moderate proportions. Oats held up fairly well in view of the tveakness In other grains. The cash demand was good. Provisions felt the weakness In grain and were lower.

Only 2,300 fresh hogs were received at the yards, together with 864 holdovers. A light run of 12,000 at the Chicago yards also contributed to the steadiness of prices, which have been declining for the past few days. Light hogs brought Friday’s top of $8.60 while heavies sold around $8.25, though a few hogs sold at a nickel less. The bulk moved from $8.25 to $8.50. Sows and pigs ruled firm. The cattle market was as dull as it usually is on Saturday, as only' a hundred cattle were received at the yards. Prices, however, showed firmness and buying was largely at Friday's quotations. The calf market ruled firm with previous quotations prevailing tdhroughout the buying. Choice veals brought sl3 while the bulk moved -from sl2 to 412.50. Receipts, 150. The sheep and lamb market was nominally steady on receipts of 25.

Levy Show Better Than Ball Game in Summer

B. F. Keith’s Theater was packed with children this morning when Bert Levy, famous artist, gave a free matinee to children with the cooperation of Roltare Eggleston, manager of the house. It was one of the most wonderful sights in the world seeing several thousand children having the time of their lives. Billy, one of the hoys who atended the matinee, has written the story of the great event. BY BILLY It was a peach of a show. I think that every boy and girl in town was at Keith’s to laugh with Bert Lexiy this morning. The monkey and the horse in the movie, “Foiled Again,” was the thing that took my eye. When the monkey set the switch to swing a train on a side track so as not to hit a baby, we yelled with joy. The horse was a real hero when he jumped int othe ocean to save the baby who was kidnaped. I would liked to have been on him.

"What is necessary for a sue cessful political career? Why com mon sense. Good, hard common sense. “But that is nec -sary for success in any line, I guess, any profession, any industry. "The big majority of those young men who seek political careers fail.

"And then, too, the young man must have ambition. Lots of it. It must bo greater than any other emotion, probably. "If a young man is cut out for politics, likes it, arid wants it.

ACTION DEFERRED ON SIGMON FLEA Company Seeks Permission to Deliver School Coal. Action on the demand of the Sigmon Coal Company that it be permitted to deliever 900 tons of coal ordered by the board of school commissioners, was deferred at a special meeting of the hoard today. The contract wlith the company was cancelled by the board Tuesday night, after a conviction against the company on a charge of making .a shortweight delivery had been affirmed in Criminal Court. Board members, with tlie exception of Charles R. Barry, expressed themselves as willing to permit the company to submit bids on coal for the remainder of the year. No action was j taken, uowever. Representatives of the Chamber of Commerce prepared recently an I analysis of coal supplied the school I city by the Sigmon Coal Company. “If this analysis was made in the ! same spirit of fairness as eharacI terized the report of the sub-commit- | tee of the education committee of the ; chamber, then it i srotten, I’ll say," said Adolph Emhard, board member. The report referred to severely criticized three members of the school board and recommehded that their resignations be asked .

I liked the horse and the monkey the best and I think they were better trained than any other animals I have ever seen. I liked it as well as “Robin Hood,” but in a different way. They must have had a hard time to train the horse to do so many things. We all liked the way Mr. Levy drew a picture of Woodrow Wilson and the way he talked while drawing. We didn’t know who he was drawing until the last minute and then we recognized it as Wilson. We applauded. I don’t see how he can draw such good pictures of Abraham Lincoln with such few lines. We ail liked this part of the show. Mr. Levy looks like he would got down and play with us all. He looks kind and just like he would do anything for a fellow. He looks like a real pal. Ho didn’t have any troublle in keeping us quiet. When he wanted us to be quiet he blew a whistle. It was one of the best shows I ever have seen. It was better than a ball game.

any way. And then, too, there is a glamour about it ’* He stopped as a smile played around the features of his thin face as though he recalled those days when as speaker of the House of Representatives, he ruled a3 a virtual dictator of the Government. No bill was passed during those days without "Uncle” Joe’s consent. Linder the rules of the House at that time, he was the master. They called him Czar in those days. Voters today, the old man said, are as careful as ever in the candidate they select at the polls. And there is very little difference, he added, in the mak-i-up of the House and Senate as far as “strength” of the individual members is concerned. The Joe Cannon who walked slowly down the corridor of the House of Representatives with the United News correspondent is a different Joe Cannon than the country knew so intimately for fifty long years. He .walks with a slow, measured step. The white beard is thin. Eyes appear dimmed. Thirty minutes before the correspondent had watched him from the press gallery. He was slumped in liis chair on the floor of the House. He had not removed his hat, hut other members love old "Uncle” Joe, and rules count for little when he is concerned. He followed each er, young men especially, and a smile of gratification would light his kind old features when one of these young bloods would hotly contest a point. No longer may the familiar stogie be seen in his mouth. He swore off recently. Hoads turn when he comes down the corridors. But old “Uncle” Joe does not notice and goes to th* door to call a taxi. The doorkeeper is eager to serve, but the old man insists he must have one of the low fare cabs. "There are taxis and taxis, you know,” he says, and in his declining years it is evident he is no more extravagant than ever. On May 7, next, his eighty-seventh birthday, he will probably be back in Danville, 111. And all that will remain in the halls of Congress will be memories of the grand old man.

POLICE DESCRIBE THEIR ACTIVITIES ONTHEAVENUE’ Witness in Gambling Trial Tells of Armitage Ride to Give Warning, Examination of activities of police detailed to the Indiana Ave district, and connection of the name of William H. Armitage, political colonel of the Republican city organization, with charges of protection, marked today’s trial of Harry “Goosie” Lee, Archie "Joker” Young and John Neeley, all colored, charged with running a gambling house at 522 Indiana Ave. Lieut. George M. Anderson, who had charge of the district early in 1922 and in December. 1922 denied that he levied toll on the place run by Lewis Butler, colored, or that he was given liquor by Lee and Young. "Did you not tell your under officers that Bili Armitage said not to go up stairs in the clubs?” Evans asked. The rely was “No.” Armitage was the man who came down the avenue in a red automobile last August, warning "club” proprie tors to close up, as a police raid impended. Butler, himself under indie; ment, testified late Friday. Armitage' accompanied by John Zener, patrol man, said ihe witness. Police Captain Herbert R. Fletcher, now in charge of the district, said he visited the Golden West, the club at 522 Indiana Ave., one to six times a day up to Jan. 9, 1923. “Almost every time I went in, the man downstairs threw the switch that worked the warning signal upstairs,” Fletcher said. “When I got up there, a pool game was just starting almost every time.” Zener, detailed to the controller’s office as license inspector, denied that he was Armitage’s chauffeur on the "Paul Revere” ride Butler described. "I am not the one who went with Armitage on that trip,” shouted Zener in an interview with Evans Friday eveni g, “but T know who did drive that red ,-ar, and I will taring him in for you—and his red car, too.’ Zener appeared before the prosecu ter when he heard that Lewis Butlei colored, proprietor of the Lincoln Club 523 Indiana Ave., testified in the tria of Harry “Goosie” Lee. Archie "Joker Young and John Neeley, ail colored, on charges of keeping a gambling bouse at 522 Indiana Ave., that Zener drove the car.
