POLITICIANS BLOCK MOVE TOR SESSION Jackson’s Reported Illness May Prevent Formal Demand on Budget. GOVERNOR AT MADISON iState Leaders Seek to 'Cool’ Democrats. Politicians, both Republican and Democratic, aided by circumstances, today were working strenuously to curb the movement for a special session of the Indiana Legislature to straighten out the budget tangle and investigate legislative and administration discrepancies which have come to light. The situation: 1. Governor Jackson was reported by Mrs. Jackson to be in bed with a severe case of influenza at Cliffy Falls Inn, at the State park near Madison, Ind. Mrs. Jackson, who is with the Governor, said Dr. E. C. Cook of Madison had ordered Jackson to stay in bed four or five days. This was expected to slow up a formal demand upqn the Governor for a special session. | Democrats “Cool Off’’ 2. Democratic leaders were trying to “cool off” some of the most insistent Democratic Senators who have demanded the special session because Democrats do not want to give the Republicans opportunity to say that Democrats caused the expense to taxpayers that the session would entail. 3. The utility lobby, which does not care to have any Legislature prying too deeply into what happened upon certain bills in both this and past Legislatures is openly fighting a special .session. Meanwhile matters were expected to come to a head late today when the Senate, here for the Dearth impeachment trial, holds its fourth conference upon the “bill juggling” situation. There wei-e at least two Senators whom the political leaders had been unable to muzzle. Both of them were carrying “d.vdamitc” ■to hurl into the conference this afternoon.

Bu United Press DETROIT, Mich., March 2S.— Henry Ford lost a major engagement today In his court fight with Aaron Shapiro in the million dollar Ford-Sapiro libel suit. Judge Fred M. Raymond, presiding, denied the Ford lawyer's motion to declare the case a mistrial because of amended pleadings flle'd by Sapiro. Ford attorneys fought determinedly, but lost the argument. Ford attorneys opened the third week of the -trial witji an assault on the revised pleadings filed last week by lawyers for Aaron Sapiro. Reed Ready to Fight Hanley, small of stature, mellow of voice, of Ford counsel, led the half million dollars' wortli of defenso attorneys into batte, Senator James A. Reed, bundled in an overcoat, at his side ready to join in the fray. The court previously had indicated it would accept the pleadings, which Hanley maintained changed vitally the major issues. Sapiro’s lawyers in revising their pleadings had dropped fifty-four of the 141 instances of alleged libel charged against Ford. Hanley argued that all of the counts had been read to the jury, and William J. Camerson, editor of the Dearborn Independent and first witness in the case, had been examined upon them before a proposal to drop any of the counts was made. States Defense Position “We came into court,” said Hanley, “believing that the plaintiff was informed of the declaration and was satisfied with it, hut now he asks we change it. We make our formal protest and now ask that either the amendments be rejected or the jury be dismissed and this trial be declared a mistrial.” William Henry Gallagher, attorney for Sapiro, answered Hanley, defending his right to amend the headings.

EX-CONVICT SECOND IN WEEK TO ESCAPE FROM POLICE HEADQUARTERS Prisoner, Captured in Thrilling Chase in Downtown Building, Missing at Morning Inspection. DRAMATIC ‘WALKOUT’ PROBED Officers Believe Fake Name Was Used to Get Bond—Tighten Routine. Police were bewildered today when for the second time in five days a prisoner escaped from city prison without leaving the slightest clew to his method of escape.

Alfred Henderson, Negro ex-con-vict, 37, of Jackson, Mich., captured after a thrilling chase from top to bottom of the State Life Bldg. Saturday, when he was discovered ransacking a purse, was mysteriously missing from city jail when prisoners were lined up for inspection by detectives. Meanwhile police received news from Chicago indicating Edgar Ballard, alias Carl Ballard, 23, 967 N. King Ave., who escaped last Wednesday from city court, where he was awaiting trial on a bigamy charge, had been arrested. Bond $5,000 Henderson was locked up Saturday Sifternoon on a vagrancy charge, with bond of $5,000. There being no line-up of prisoners before the detectives Sunday, his absence was not discovered until this morning. Detectives Charles Gaughan and Edward Tutt, who nabbed Henderson when he stepped from an elevator in the State Life Bldg. Saturday searched city prison, the Bertillon room and city courts in a fruitless hunt for their man. While terrorizing office employes during his race for escape Saturday, Henderson displayed a number of $lO bills. They were not found when he was searched before .being locked up. Police are of the opinion that he secreted these in his clothes and probably used them to bribe some other prisoner, for the use of hi 6 name to obtain bond. Authorities hold the theory that the accomplice called in a bondsman and obtained Henderson's release on a fictitious name. A check-up was under way. Turnkey's records showed no bond had been posted for Henderson. Detective Chief Claude M. Worley said Henderson was sentenced several years ago for his part in a theft of bonds totaling $200,000 from an office in the Merchants Bank Bldg. He was paroled but violated his parole and was returned to prison. He served the balance of his tern* and was discharged last Thursday. Displaying a large roll of bills in the Fitzpatrick & Fitzpatrick law office. Room 822, Henderson, unnoticed for a minute, started ransacking a purse and desk. When caught in the act, he fled and, pursued by clerks, stenographers and police, raced up and down stairs, threatened elevator men and finally ran into the arms of officers. Two of Them Police thought they had found a solution of Henderson's disappearance when records showed that Nick Hantzis, bondsman, had appeared Sunday with bond for another Negro with the same name, Andrew Henderson, 33, of 322' W. Tenth St., arrested Sunday on a drunk charge. Inspection of the bond reavealed it properly signed, but if it had been a forgery perpetrated by the escaped man, the Henderson arrested Sunday would still be in jail, police said. Seareli showed the Henderson who obtained bond was gone, so the theory was abandoned. Police Chief Claude F. Johnson today ordered tightening up of city court .and jail routine. He said an investigation leads him to hold Bailiff Oscar Merrill and his asasistant, F. D. Smock, responsible for the escape of Ballard. BALLOONS GO TO JAIL Trail “Black Maria” as Vendor Is Arrested for Boulevard Sales. One might have thought the police were celebrating the capture of some notorious criminal had they glanced at the “Black Marla” as it headed toward the city prison from Fall Creek and Central Ave., Sunday. But such was not the case. Sam Toothill, 50, of Craig Hotel, ballooon vendor, was charged with peddling on a boulevard. So, ’loothill, with balloons in tow, was hauled to the city prison.
