TEN HELD IN A UTO THEFT RINGS ROUND-UP

HUFFMAN BILL PASSAGE SIS CHIROPRACTORS Lobby Strengthened to Boost Vote on Non-Medi-cal Board Measure. Angered by the ‘‘injunction without bond" feature of the Huffman medical bill, passed by a scant constitutional majority in the Indiana House of Representatives Tuesday, a determined lobby is being organized to work for the Harrison bill, which would abolish the present State medical board and supplant it with a strictly non-medical board. Chiropractors, naturopaths, osteopaths, homeopaths and Christian Scientists are said to have joined hands to put over the bill introduced by Representative William H. Harrison (Rep.) of Indianapolis. Move to Conciliate. An effort to conciliate the chiropractors provision was made in the Huffman bill sponsored by Representative Walter A. Huffman (Rep.), of Elkhart, providing that one member of the medical board must be a chiropractor. This movement has not had the desired effect as the drugless healers claim the majority would always outvote their member. Harrison’s bill provides that the State board shall not be practicing physicians and not be connected with any medical school. It stipulates that examination for each class of healing shall be conducted by a committee of three from the particular profession to which the applicant may belong. For example if a chiropractor wanted a license he would be examined by a committee of chiropractors. Abolishes Bond The present board, composed of doctors of medicine, would be abolished. a There are pending at this time bills to create boards for the chiropractors and naturopaths with all the attendant machinery necessary. The close vote Tuesday when Representative Edward E. Eikenbary, Democrat, of Wabash, was brought into the chamber on a wheel chair to cast his vote for strict medical supervision, gave adherents of drugless healing hope for their cause. Observers believe that before the session is over a fight wifi be waged which will surpass the fight being waged against the public service : commission In the Senate.

SOVIET RUSSIANS STRONGLY CURB CATHOLIC CHURCH Only One Priest to Serve Each 3,000 of Communicants. Pii United Preag ' LONDON, Feb. 3. —How extensively Soviet Russia lias curtailed the activities of the Catholic chureh is ' described by the Universe, a promt- ; nent Catholic weekly here. The hos--1 tile attitude o' the Czars in other days rreated nothing worse than the conditions now prevailing, the paper states, and adds that there is only j one priest to every 3,000 Catholics, and the groups are kept too poor to repair churchjs and build seminaries. Expelled Dignitaries ‘‘There is no archbishop or bislp ops, as all have been expelled,” the Universe cays. “In 1925 the Catholic population- ! in Russia numbered between 1,595,- ; o°o and 1,800,000, consisting of Poles, Germans, White Russians, Lithuanians, Ruthenians, etc. The number of priests is reduced to 400 for the 600 churches still in existence, but they have no legal status, possess no religious freedom of action, as the Soviet government puts the greatest obstacles in*their way as to the religious education of the children and the administration of the sacra- ! ments. Bars Word “God” “No book* containing the name of j God is allowed, no catechism or . Catholic newspaper permitted, no foreign priest has access to the country. The training of a native clergy is impossible, as there is no seminary left. The Catholic congregations are too poor to maintain the upkeep and repairs of the churches. ‘"the lamentable shc/rt age of priests may be gathered from the following items. In northern Russia one priest is in charge of five parishes covering an area the size of Italy, England and Scotland combined, while in Asiatic Russia there is only one priest for the whole of Russian Turkestand, three times the size of the United Kingdom. “The Archdiocese of Moghiley, which formerly numbered 934,885 Catholics, is now reduced to 320,000, and fifteen priests are still in prison. Seminaries, schools and many churches are closed. “In Moscow there are still three churches in working order, and each j of the two priests has to care for ' 30,000 persons.”

MILDER ‘TAY PAY’ HELPSGULDSTONE Testifies Wife Was Devoted to Late Premier. Bn United Prcaa LONDON, Feb. 3.—Transformed by the passage of years into a mild mannered old man. the one time unruly Irishman, T. P. (Tay Pay) O'Connor, arose in court today to defend the greatest Liberal statesman of the Victorian era against the charge of promiscuity with women. “Tay Pay," patriarch of the House of Commons, because he lias sat with that body since 1880, testified in a tremulously emotional voice to the affection and loyalty which existed between William E. Gladstone, four times premier of England, and Mrs. Gladstone. One by one counsel for Viscount Gladstone, the premier's son, has introduced witnesses to deny separate allegations of Capt. Peter Wright, author of "Portraits and Criticisms,"who referred to the elder Gladstone as having “pursued and possessed every sort of woman." "Mrs. Gladstone often waited for her husband,” said “Tay Pay,” "in the inner lobby of the House of Commons after he had made a great speech so that she could muffle him up properly and take him home." “There are evidences almost e/ery day,” si id O’Con ior, “of the extraor-dinary-solicitude with which Mrs. Gladstone watched the comings and goings of her husband. There was a special corner of the gallery which then was ,under the control of the speaker's wife, where Mrs. Gladstone’s presence was inevitable whenever Gladstone had a great speech to make.”
