> BOTH HOUSES TO BE FLOODED WITH BILLSJOT WEEK Absent Voters’ Law Will Be One of Measures Presented After Recess. A deluge of bills Is expected in both Houses of the legislature when that body reconvenes Monday at 2 p. m. after a three-day recess. One of the first bills to be presented will call for the repeal of the absent voter’s ballot law. It will be Introduced by Representative" Ed ward B. Bender, Democrat, Zlonsvllle. Platforms of both parties call for the repeal of this measure. The governor in his message urged that It be stricken from the statutes. Law Criticised Born of war expediency this measure has been criticised more than any other law. An act compelling the State high way commission to provide hard sur face roads through incorporatec towns of 2,500 and less will be sent in by Representative H. Curtiss Ben nett Dem.), new member from Hills . boro. | Bennett is having prepared a hi. which would make it mandatory lithe commission to maintain detour, on State roads. This maintenance i: now provided by the county. Representative John W. Thiel (Rep.), Hobart, has ready for lm mediate introduction a bill to con Holldate county alms houses which would provide for the segregation m feeble minded now cared for in the various counties. Thiel will also introduce an old age pension measure based on 7t county option plan. Racked By Orders * These measures are sponsored by representatives of twenty patriotic, civic and fraternal orders. At a recent committee meeting Governor Jackson indicated he favored the pension act. A survey on the subject was conducted by a Btate commmlttee in 1923. Otto P. Deluse, Indianapolis, is leading the fight on the pension law. Advice is being sought on a proposed bill which would abolish the State tax board. • Bills of various sorts will be introduced affecting the public service commission and its functions. Little hope Is held for any bill which would abolish the State-wide primary. healThism , SET By DOCTORS; To Fight 'Easily Preventable' Diseases.’ Bu Tim f t Speeial NEW YORK. Jan. 7.—At the last annual conference of the State and Provincial health authorities, the president. W. W. Seymour, M. D., health officer of Saskatchewan, Can., proposed that all the States and provlces unite behind a vigorous campaign against three of our most malignant, yet most easily preventable diseases, namely; diphtheria, smallpox and typhoid fever. The conference, by unanimous vote, adopted the suggestion and provided that during the months of September and October a united front against diphtheria should be put on by all the States and Provinces. Similarly the months of November and December were to be devoted to smallpox immunization campaigns, and the months of January and February should be devoted to a united drive against typhoid fever. Any successful campaign toward the further reduction in the incidents and mortality of typhoid fever must take into consideration the relation of typhoid fever to unsupervised and unpasteurized milk supplies of the country. It is a matter of common knowledge to State departments of health that there are now more milk-borne epidemics of typhoid .fever than there are from public water supplies. In 1924 twenty State health officers i reported thirty-three milk-borne ty-! | phoid fever epidemics, with a total of 1,013 cases and eighty-five deaths. In 1925 twenty-seven State health officers reported thirty milk-borne typhoid fever epidemics with 639 cases and thirty-six deaths. The j reason why milk is so often a vehicle for the transmission \>f typhoid fever is because of the large number ■ of typhoid carrier cases, who/ though apparently well, are eliminating virulent typhoid bacilli through their intestinal discharges. We are told that from 3 to 5 per cent of j all typhoid fever cases result in either temporary or permanent tyl>b <i "arrlers. Therefore, there must be many thousands of individuals ' t > ''it . had tvphotd fever and apparently recovered who are now either :e-uln.-ly or lue.tn ttei.ily disohargimr virulent typhoid organisms. Such people, if they are handling food products, particularly milk products, are a constant source of danger to the people of that community. It Is well to remember that there, is only one kind of milk that is ab-! solutely safe and that is milk that Is produced under proper sanitary conditions, has been sufficiently pasteurized, and bottled in sterile containers. When all milk, is properly t and effectively pasteurized, as js our : water supply almost universally thus '■ protected, the incidence of typhoid fever will rapidly approach a vanishing point. blind poker player LYNCHBURG, Va„ Jan. 7.—The' > blind are beginning to take up poker. In a recent raid on a game here, a blind Negro was arrested with five others. He proudly admitted to the : judge that he played cards, having the deck specially marked with pin pricks.

PIONEER VOTED ON STATEHOUSE BILL

‘Hot Air on Increase in State Legislature,’ Says exLawmaker. “The gradual Increase in legislative hot air. ranging from the Governor’s message to legislative proced-' uro. is the most outstanding legisia live development,’’ declared Jume C. Claypool of Fountain County, only surviving member of the legislature that passed the bill providing for the present. Statehouse in 1877. s Cla.ypool was elected from Fountain County, where he was born in 1852, and served one term in the House. He took a rest until 1925, when he again appeared as a member of the same body. He sought re-election in 1926, but ’a pesky Democrat beat me,” he said, explaining his return to private life. Converted Preacher “Yes, sir,” said Claypool, when a reporter found him milling around among the “boys” in a hotel lobby Wenesday afternoon. “I helped build this Statehouse, and it was some iog getting that bill through, too. Five times it failed, and it took a hard-shell Baptist preacher and a pool of water to turn the trick." Then he told the story. One memher of the Legislature was a Baptist preacher, who controlled six or seven votes badly needed to put over the bill. He withstood every argument and voted against the new building five times. John E. Neff then was secretary of State and an enthusiastic supporter of the building plan. "What can we do to get that preacher over?” Neff one day demanded of Claypool. “Take him down to the basement and show him that pool of water covering the floor.” was Olaypool’s suggestion. The Legislature then was meeting in the old Statehouse, on the site of the present capitol. Neff tried the plan. Hardly had they reached the bottom of the steps leading to (be basement when the p,-ocher slioned and a second Immersion was only averted by the shallowness of the water. “For It, Sah" Shortly thereafter the bill was again put to a vote. "Parson” Priest arose when his name was called and spoke thus: “Mr. Speaker, sah, I have the honor, sah, if it may be so considered, sah, to belong to the barefooted democracy of Putnam County, sab. T have opposed this bill. sah. but now I’m for it, sah.” “The way to convert a Baptist preacher,” declared Neff after the vote, “is to get him wet!’’ They didn’t need sixty days to attend to all tlie legislation in 1877,” said Claypool, “and boards and commission galo-e were unknown Greater harmony prevailed In the Leglsla-

THE SEQUEL TO SONIA By Vida Hurst

BEGIN HERE TODAY SONIA, the young wife of Dr. Don Stillwater, became Jealouu of her hueband when she inadvertently loams he formerly was engaged to ELAINE WALLACE, stylish wife of Stillwater’s partner. DR. ROBERT WALLACE. Through Esther Lane, stenographer in the office, Sonia also learns that Dr. Wallace is somewhat of a flirt and attracts many of his women patient*. IR. STILLWATER takes Sonia to a Chinese restaurant. In San Francisco for dinner Later she soliloquises on the fact (hat he was engaged to another before their marriage SONIA fears the Wallaces may have heard about her affair with Franklin Crane before she wae married. Sonia thinks Don is ill, because he is not looking well, and calls on Dr. Wallace lor advice. She receives no satisfaction from Wallace, who tries to flirt with her. She runs across Stillwater end E'aine Wallace >n b Chinese restaurant and later is filled with conflicting emotions. She meets Jinny of Ted Thomas’ office. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER V Sonia found her husband waiting. It was after office hours. The talkative Miss Lane had gone and Robert Wallace came to his door to suggest. “Come on, Don. Better get away before anyone else comes.” All three descended in the same elevator. Sonia wondered wliat Bob would say if he knew his wife had been having lunch with her husband. Watching his languid, handsome face she decided he would be furious, masculine flirts being notoriously particular about the conduct of their own wives. He lifted silky lashes to meet her gaze, and gave her an understanding smile, little suspecting her real thoughts! Sonia, looking away, saw that Don had caught that Blow swept glance. Just her luck! Not for anything would she have him think she had been confiding in his friend ala, Elaine. Both were silent on their way home. Sonia found it difficult to apply her doctrine of sweet forbearance to a husband who was apparently unconscious of guilt. He did not ment on the luncheon they had shared with Elaine. With a touch of fear she realized that he had no intention of explaining. Perhaps he thought she was not worthy of his confidence! That she would reproach and doubt him. "All right.” If he didn’t understand her better than that. At dinner the forbidden subject crouched between them like an uninvited guest. Tomorrow was their wedding anniversary. But he showed no sign that just a year ago a quaint, old-fashioned minister had peered at them over gold-rimmed spectacles as they took their marriage vows. Vows which had meant so little then! To Sonia! As she sat by the window waiting for his return. Sonia decided that might be the reason he did not care to celebrate the occasion. But, oh, that was not liko Don. None of this grim silence was like her husband. She could scarcely believe that for any reason he would beome glum. It seemed contrary to •very law of nature. She rocked back an I forth, feeing years older. They had been so happy. So supremely satisfied with •ich other. Why need anything ;poll it now? The hours dragged? .At 11:30 she uade up her mind to go to bed. It would be better to have no further conversation while this mood persisted. The next morning he surprised her by asking, “Have you forgotten what day this is?” "Darling. I thought you had." “Impossible.” lie smiled. “Don't i tiiink we ought to celebrate?” All the lowering. threatening emus b.okc Into sunshine again. “What shall we do?" uu decide.

of It. Is there anything you’d like better?” “You know I'd rather dance than eat. Do you think you can get away?" "I’m going to try.” “Wouldn’t it be heavenly?” cried Sonia, with eyes like stars, “to have one whole evening uninterrupted by the telephone?” “I tell you what I'll do,” he promised, ‘l'll break away early so I can dress. We’ll be real swanky tonight.” Who he had gone she flew to get out her dress. She had bought it for New Year’s Eve. It was a wisp of a gown—yellow as the heart of a flower —exquisitely frail. Sonia shook it free from the folds of tissue paper with a thrill, remembering the last time she had worn it. Don had been so proud of her. Perhaps he would be again. The dress might bring her luck worn on the anniversary of their wedding day. Early in the afternoon came flowers . . . Shp had them against her cheek with tears in her eyes. Dear flowers so closely allied with him. The morning after their marriage she had awakened in a strange hotel, sniffing their fragrance before she opened her eyes. Another more sacred night, returning to San Francisco, he had stopped in the' rain to purchase them. Surely if he regretted his bargain he would not be sending them again. . . . It was an endless day. Sonia cleaned bureau drawers, washed gloves, found unnumbered odd Jobs to take up her time. At 4 o’clock she permitted the maid to bring her a cup of tea and leave. Sonia lay down to rest. She wanted to be beautiful that night. It was so seldom they had an evening together. Don did not share her passion for dancing anil he was unable to depend on •anl definite evening. All afternoon she had listened for the telephone, fearing an emergency might delay him. But at precisely 6 o'clock he reached home. In holiday mood! Shouting, “I made it, honey.- I suppose you're a nervous wreck.” “Absolutely," she admitted, snuggling into his arms, whispering, “It was darling of you to send the roses.” He did not reply only held her closely. As if he could never let her go. Sonia wanted to burst Into tears. To cry, “Oh, tell me now, what is coming between us.” Instead she said, gaily, "Run take your bath like a good little boy. 1 won't feel really safe until we are gone." Words of wisdom—those! For as she sat before the dressing table, the telephone rang. “I’ll answer," she called, lifting the receiver with the firm conviction that nothing short of death should reach Don Stillwater. She was frozen dumb with amazement when Elaine's voice asked formally. "May I speak with Dr. Stillwater?” She replied. “Certainly, Elaine.” Her fingers twitched with resentment. Was Elaine foolish enough to suppose that her voice would not be recognized? That it mattered how often she talked with Sonia's hus- 1 band ? Don answered, wrapped in a bath robe. His voice was coolly noncommittal. "J see. Yes I’m sorry too. But I'm sure it will be all right. Sonia powdered her nose, humming Indifferently. Silence while Don listened to a nonologue. Then he .said, doubtfully, “I’m ' dressing. But perhaps I can make! u. Will you be at home? The sheer effrontery of it left I son.a gasping. With the powder 1

puff still lifted, she cried, “You aren’t going now?” His eyes met hers calmly. ‘‘l think I’d better. I won’t be long.” She faced him, trembling with rage. “I know that was Elaine." “Well, what if it v as?” Her lips twisted Into a bitter smile but her voice was firm. “Don’t you think," she said deliberately, “that you are letting an old friendship carry you too far?” He replied evenly, “Not at all.” And returned to the bath room to continue his dressing. Tears of anger, of furious, hurt, resentment gathered in Sonia’s eyes. She would not have believed these things could happen to her. Some other wife! Some other husband! But, oh, not Don! And the nerve, the devilishly cool nerve of Elaine Wallace. Calling him under her very nose. “Friendship or no friendship," Sonia thought, “this is going too far. Today of all days!” She was still in negligee 1 when Don left the bath room. He came over attempting to kiss her nose. “Don't be playful with me, Don Stillwater,” she cried, hotly. He looked at her surprised. “Do you mean you are really angry?" "Os course, I am. I didn’t say a word about you taking her to lunch yesterday. I haven’t bothered you about this secret you seem to have. I've tried to be a good sport," she sobbed, .ike any other woman, "but when it comes to having you leave mo for her on our wedding anniversary ....’’ He was watching her curiously. Scientifically as only Don could. "Do you mean you doubt me, Sonia?” Suddenly realizing the significance of all she had said she flung herself on the bed. When he would have touched her she cried. “Go on, Keep your engagement. Don’t let me interfere.” Pain quite as intense as her own seemed to sweep his face. “All right, if that’s the way you feel about it.” The door closed behind him while Sonia, miserably conscious of having been guilty of a "scene,” lay on the bed and wept. She wept that Don, of whose loyalty she had been so confident, ; could desert her for the claims of any other woman, whatever the reason. She wept because Elaine had dared to use that ancient friend ship as a ruse to lure her husband, away. She wept to think their annlversary had been ruined by the only quarrel they had ever had. Then, being Sonia, she wept most bitterly because she had not lived up to her resolution to “play the j game.” When Don returned he found her dressed in the yellow gown, tears carefully removed. “Are you sure you want to go now?" he asked, coldly. “Just as you like.” He asked, miserably, “AYhat’s the use? We shan't enjoy dancing while we are hating each other.” “Oh, are we?" Sonia retorted cruelly. Don took her coat from a chair. ' 'Very well! Let’s see it through." But seated in a' hotel listening to plaintive music, she decided she could not dance. The dinner was a farce, i ’onvernation was formal. She had never seen. Don look more ser ious. More unapproachably cold' They left as soon as possible. When they reached the fla(. Don said. “Go on inside. There’s a box I have to bring ” (To Be Continued).

Wreckage in Flames After Grade Crossing Wreck at Superior, Wis. ONLY ONE NOT INJURED Youth Hurled Through Window to Pavement. Bu United Trent SUPERIOR, Wis.. Jan. 7.—Five persons were killed and twenty-three injured, several of them seriously, when a Great Northern passenger train crashed into a trolley car at a grade crossing here last night. The dead: Harry Ryan, 17; William Munnings, 13; Alice Isaacson, 32; Alvira Nelson, 26, and an unidentified man mangled beyond recognition. The car caught fire immediately after the crash and the train crew and other rescuers battled the flames in efforts to remove the dead, dying and injured. An investigation was under way here today to determine the cause of the accident. Most of the passengers on the trolley were residents of Billings Park, a suburb, who were on their way here to attend theaters and parties. All persons on the trolley, with the exception of Fred Pearson, 19, were injured. He was thrown through a window, but was uninjured as she landed on the icy pavement. Among those believed to be suffering injuries which may prove fatal are: Doris Larson, 16, both legs amputated; Antone Johnson, 48, and Ralph Nelson, 17, injured internally; Mary Shellman. 33, fractured skull; Mrs. Anna McGillis, legs so badly mangled that.it is believed amputation will be necessary.

VETERANS AT LOBB Y FILE Hold-over members of the Legislature might get a smile out of the fact that but four organizations have registered lobbyists for the present session. Were the present files of the Secretary of State to he taken as a barometer. It would mean that the famous "third house,” the lobby, would have but few members. Judging from those on hand at the organization meeting Thursday and at the caucus Wednesday night ithe chances are that the “third house” will have a. membership equal to the first or second and far beyond the “fourth estate.” History Repeats This will be but a case of history repeating itself, hold-over legislators declared. Os the lobbies now registered two are labor organizations, one uplift and a fourth the bus and truckmen. They are the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, Railway Conductors, George Healey of the truck and bus men, and the Indiana State Civil Union. The latter organization is represented by D. B. Johnson, Greenville, and has for its object “social and moral reforms." Bond Required Indiana law requires that each lobbyist register, pay a $2 fee and post a SI,OOO bond. Thirty days after the close of the session they are to report all expenditures. They axe classed as “legislative counsel,” and "legislative agent,” the former to appear before committees and the latter to work by personal interview. Employment must not be to boost passage of any particular bill. Failure to register and report constitutes a felony and is punishable by fines from S2OO to SI,OOO and imprisonment from three months to one year. Cases are to be prosecuted j by the attorney general, whenever information is filed.
