MOORHEAD OUSTER BILL UP THURSDAY After devoting Tuesday to listening to the merits and demerits of the Cann util’ties bill and then killing it by a vote of 17 to 30, Indiana Senators faced the Moorhead bill as a matter of special business at 2 p. m. Thursday. The bill, introduced by Senator Robert L. Moorhead (Rep.), Indianapolis, calls for election of five public service commissioners, one from each Supreme Court judicial district. It also demands outsing of the present commissioners by May 1, and appointment of others until they can be elected next fall. Senator Moorhead, when the measure came as special business, this morning, moved that the bill be considered Thursday. Several changes are to be made, he said. Two new utility bills were introduced. Municipal Plants A bill offered by Senator J. Francis Lochard (Dem.), Milan, would take the regulation of all municipally owned plants from under the public service commission and provide for rate making and all other control by city councils. A similar bill was introduced into the House of Representatives by Representative Delph L. McKesson. Senator B. R. Inman (Rep.), Danville, introduced a bill to require all municipal plants to create an “ex- : tension and improvement fund.” The fund shall not exceed 7 per cent of the total property value of the plant. Amendments that will be offered when the bill comes up on second reading, are designed to eliminate the elective feature and to require Senate approval of appointees. Senator Howard A. Cann (Rep.), Frankfort, author of the Cann bill, and Senator Anderson Ketchum [Dem.), Greensburg, both have announced that they would amend the Moorhead measure. The bill may be debated and killed or go to third reading. It is predicted that it may muster a few more supporters than the Cann bill, but not enough to secure a constitutional majority and final passage, without drastic changes. Pass Table Motion Cann's bill called for complete repeal of the Spencer-Shivley utilities act, which would mean abolition of the 'lndiana public service commisBion and all State control. After its defeat Senator James J. Nejdl (Rep.), Whiting, made sure that it would not be brought up again by securing passage of a motion to reconsider and table. Despite the protest of Cann that unless the Republicans backed the bill they would be defeated in 1928, only six of the majority party voted for it. Eleven Democrats supported the measure. Four Democrats voted with the twenty-seven Republicans against it. LACK CLEW TO CHILD Bit United Press BROOKLYN, N. Y„ Feb. 16.—Although no trace of William Gaffney, I, missing from his home since Friday, had been found on the sixth day Df his absence, detectives in overalls today resumed their search of all out-of-the-way places near the Gaffaey home. Coal bins, storage rooms, ships berthed near the home and scows were searched. As the days passed with no word : of their son, Mr. and Mrs. Edmund Gaffney, exhausted by the nervous tension, fear that he is dead. Neither have been able to sleep. The mother is suffering from extreme exhaustion. The kidnaping theory has been abandoned by police, except that a mother, crazed with loss of her own child, might have stolen the boy.

GRAFT IN LOCAL POLITICS CHARGED ATHOUSEHEARING Friends and foes of Indiana’s primary law took up verbal cudgels in defense of their views at a public hearing on the Bender-Hughes primary bill before the House of Representatives election committee Tuesday. Charges of Marion County political corruption were made freely. Past and 'present city officials, women club leaders, farm and labor representatives and reformers asked that “teeth” be put in the present primary law to prevent primary election practices now charged against George V. Coffin’s ring in particular. Shows Statements City Clerk William A. Boyce, Jr., exhibited eighteen sworn statements charging attempts to buy off candidates and other irregularities at the last Marion County primary'. Boyce said he was unable to get indictments against the men accused because the present law is not specific. William A. Pickens, State Bar Association president, opposed the primary system. “A man needs too much money to run for office via the primary,” Pickens said. Turning to the hundred or more women who attended the hearing, Pickens said, “Women do not know what is good for them.” Lew Shank, former mayor, shook the skeletons of old time party conventions before the assemblage, and said, “I spent $7,600 in the primary for Governor.” Pickens asked Shank if it was true that “George V. Coffin controlled the last Marion County primary.” “Absolutely,” replied Shank. Edward S. Shumaker, Anti-Saloon League superintendent, aald he Was speaking unofficially for the league in advocating the primary. Dry Forces in Balance “If the primary law is repealed the dry forces will be broken’,’ he said. Emsley Johnson, former park board president; Alva J. Rucker, former city corporation counsel; J. Kirby Risk, Lafayette; Elizabeth T. Stanley, State president W. C T. U.; Mrs. Allen T. Fleming, president Legislative Forum of Indianapolis women; Mrs. O. Lukenbill; Mrs. Alma Sickler, Indiana League of Women Voters; Mrs. Frank Lahr; Edward P. Barry, Indiana Federation of Labor vice president, and Edgar Bush, Indiana Farm Bureau Federation, spoke in favor of the primary. The flections committee was net expected to report today. Discussion at the public hearing was designed to throw light on the Bender-Hughes plan of safeguarding the primary, but it took a general turn and little definite action was taken. Mental Telepathy to Get Radio Test Bu United Press LONDON, Feb. 16.— For the second time in six months radio will be used tonight as a link in a mental telepathy test reaching millions of owners of radio receiving sets in England.

So Clean Inside, No Fear of Perspiration Offense, However Oyer-Heated Once a person realizes the wonderful properties in cascara, no other laxative in the market would ever be considered. It’s no trick to “clean out the bowels.’’ Dozens of things will do that. But a little natural cascara purifies the system clear through. Cleanses even tfie pores of your skin, ltenders perspiration as inoffensive as so much dew 1 The oldfashioned way was “salts.” They get action, but they take the mucous membrance along with the' waste matter. Mineral oils are gentler, but they leave the bowels with a film of poisons tor the blood to carry off through the pores. But when you cascarize the system, you get rid of all the poisons by normal muscular action of the bowels. If you have the habit of taking medicine for constipation, or even for autointoxication, stop It. For a candy eascaret is a delightful form in which to take cascara; children love them, and the tase tempts most grown-ups to have “more.” And what a comfort to know you arein that clean, wholesome condition (hat does away with any need of deodorants, even in warmest weather!

HAYS CITES VAST BURDENS HEAPED UPON MINISTERS “It is not wise, nor is it Christian, to add financial cares to a minister’s other burdens,” Will H. Hays, president of the Motion Picture Producers and Distributers of America, asserted Tuesday night at the first report dinner of the Indianapolis presbytery of the Presbyterian Church, which is attempting to raise $15,000,000 in a national drive to pension aged ministers and missionaries. Hays is general chairman of the laymen’s committee and is directing the Nation-wide drive. "We look with scorn on people who do not prepare for old age and become a public charge, but those who fulfill what is the highest office in a community we give a’pittance without hope of provision for the furore,” he said. 500 Attend Approximately 600 clergymen and laymen from the six districts in the Indianapolis presbytery attended. They reported a total of $54,522.60 raised since the opening of the drive last Friday. The quota of the presbytery, which Includes forty-six churches in and around Indianapolis, is $102,000. Another report dinner will be held at the Indianapolis Athletic Club Monday evening. “The thinning of the ranks of prospective ministers should make us pause,” Hays asserted. “We are expecting too much of human nature when we ask a man to dedicate himself to present need and future hardships. Need Ministers ’ “Were they not men of strong character, reconciled to devoting their lives to the service of God and their fellowmen, at immeasurable personal sacrifice, the attractions to them in commercial life, where intellectuality is bound to find its place, would already have demoralized the effective preaching of the gospel. “If you would realize what the minister means to the individual or to the community,” he continued, “try to imagine what existence would be without him —no worship, no sacraments, no baptism, no marriage ceremonies except the signing of a contract, at the grave the lowering of the coffin without a word of tomorrow. We could not bear it a week. We would starve. We could not exist as a nation without the minister*, who get wage* ■oarcely larger than the garbage collector.” Hays’ speech was broadcast over WFBM.

BILL PROVIDES EOR REFORM OE ELECTION TAWS Con-ection of iri'egularities and deflclences In State election laws are provided in a bill prepax-ed by Fred C. Cause and William W. Spencer, State election commissioners, and Introduced in the Indiana Senate by Senators James J. Nejdl and Thomas H. Branaman. The election measure was one of twelve new bills introduced today. The number of voters to a precinct is limited in the new bill. Where voting machines are used 600 would be alloted to a precinct and where ballotts prevail the number is held to 250. Pay of sheriffs, clerks, Judges and inspectors is increased In the proposed measure. Sheriffs of elections would receive $G a day where they now get $1.50. Clerks and judges would go to $9 a day whereas their present pay is $3, and inspectors are increased to sl2 a day from $3. A challenged voter must step aside and not Interfere with the voting under the changed plan. It would require 2,000 names instead of* 500 to be listed as a candidate for State office. Congressmen nominations will take 500 instead of 200. and proportionate increases are provided for offices down to township trustees. Cause and Spencer, in explaining the requested change in the required number of signatures, said that if this provision had been in force close to $125,000 could have been saved in former elections. Display of the national flag at the polling place is made mandatory. The commissioners say that such a step would not only provide a means of ready identification, but will be a “symbol of the true spirit of the election franchise, a patriotic duty for every citizen.”

KELLOGG NETTLED ASFRANCETURNS DOWN ARMS PLAN Bu United Press WASHINGTON, Feb. 18. France's rejection of the American proposal for a five-power pact limiting auxiliary naval craft, turned the Administration’s hope today to its alternative plan for a threepower treaty with Great Britain and Japan. Italy may be willing to negotiate arms limitations, but she is not expected actually to limt her ships unless France does likewise. Pending receipt of British and Japanese replies to the original proposal, Secretary of State Kellogg hastened to challenge the French note’s claim for special League of Nations’ prerogatives in disarmament matters. Without disguising his surprised displeasure that France opposed the Coolidge plan on grounds of league loyalty, charging the plan would “undermine” the league, Kellogg said: “It is true that Article 8 of the covenant entrusted the problem of disarmament to the league. Nothing was done, however, except at the Washington conference.’ SKULL PROBERS LEAVE Bu United Press MICHIGAN CITY, Ind., Feb. 16.

SUIT INCLUDING INDIANAPOLIS IS NEAR COLLAPSE' By Roscoe B. Fleming, Times Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.—The Interstate Commerce Commission is preparing to dismiss the anti-monop-oly case against the American Telephone and Telegraph Company, started by Boston eighteen months ago and joined by several other cities. Commissioner Meyer Ims notified Mayor Nichols of Boston the caso will be cancelled unless Boston flies exhibit evidence asked by the commission nine months ago. Nichols, it is understood, has dismissed the special counsel working on the case a year, and Is expected to notify Moyer to go ahead and cancel. Failure of Boston to get other large American cities, Including New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Chicago interested in a municipal league to finance the fight Is understood to be behind the impending collapse .of the case. Boston, after a rate fight with the New England Telephone Company, A. T. & T. subsidiary, charged that long distance rates w r ere too high and that A. T. & T. was a watertight trust, violating four sections of the Clayton act. Many cities, Including Indianapolis, Youngstown, El Paso and San Diego, filed petitions with the I. C. C. to become intervenors in the case. Others, including Columbus, Ohio; Los Angelos und BultimoroJ| asked for Information. W Their interest was aroused by rate, raises demanded by local telephone companies about that time. FUND TO FIGHT BORER After informing the budget committee that he did not know exactl.f what sum would bo needed to fight the corn borer in Indiana, State Entomologist Frank N. Walluee ha* announced that he will ask the Legislature to appropriate $200,000 to finance a three-year program. Details of a bill to lie introduced were worked out by Wallace and G. I. Christie of the Purdu* University experiment station and Indiana Farm Bureau representatives. It will ask that $40,000 bo set aside for the remainder of 1927, $75,000 for 1928 and $85,000 for 1929.
