HOUSE SUSPENDS RULES TO HEAR BOULDER DAM BILL

VOTES SPECIAL * TERM IN FAVOR , OF RIVER DRAFT Sets Eight-Hour Debate and Option to Meet at Night. JOHNSON IS CONFIDENT Senator Predicts Passage ' of Measure: Attacks Filibuster Plan. Bn l iiilrd I’ri ss WASHINGTON, May 15. A special rule for House consideration of the Swing-Johnson Boulder dam bill was granted today by the House rules committee and the measure is expected to come up the last part of this week. “I am delighted that the rule has tje.en granted in the House,” said Senator Hiram Johnson (Rep.), California. "I know the bill will be passed there and when it is we will have gone more than half way in this great constructive work.” “A proposition that affects the economic welfare of so large a number of our people as the construction of Boulder dam " feel should be decided by the House itself and not be denied a hearing on the floor by the rules committee.” Expresses Confidence Confidence that the Boulder Dam bill wall receive “favorable consideration” by the House, was expressed by Representative Swing (Rep.), California, co-author of the bill, in a statement expressing .ratification over the rules committee action. The granting of a rule, he said, “shows that the leaders realize that the Boulder Dam bill is a humanitarian piece of legislation urgently needed for the protection and development of the lower Colorado River, where the uncontrolled floods have already wrought great havoc. “It also puts them in accord with President Coolidge, who has earnestly expressed the hope that this legislation be acted upon by Congress this session,” he added. “In the Senate a shameful filibuster is being conducted by the Representatives of Arizona and Utah, who selfishly seek to exact special concessions as the price of their acquiesence. The committee fixed no definite day for its consideration, but authorized eight hours of debate with option of a night session to complete discussion. The Rules Committee also granted a special rule for consideration of the Senn reapporitionment bill. Deny Power Interests Chairman Snell of the rules committee, announced the reapportionment bill probably would come up Thursday with the Boulder Dam measure following, when that is completed. Snell said he voted for the Boulder Dam rule and a majority' of the committee favored consideration at this session. If the measure is brought before the House, that will make its first consideration by that body. A special rule was granted last session, but too late for the measure to go to the floor. Snell denied power interests had prevented consideration previously. SICK HEADACHE Be suspicious of persistent sick headaches, dizzy spells or floating specks before the eyes. They usually indicate a poisoned condition of the system which leads to high blood pressure. Due to our abnormal habits of living we place too great a strain upon the vital organs-, especially the liver. The liver becoming weak or sluggish fails to cleanse the blood of the poisons formed in food waste. The whole system becomes toxic then, affecting stomach, kidneys, heart, blood pressure and blood vessels. The liver occasionally needs a little help, and there’s nothing better for this, as medical men now know, than a little ox gall. Ox gall is a remarkable natural stimulant for the human liver, promoting its normal active functioning, so essential to real health. Dioxot tablets are genuine ox gall in dainty and tasteless form, each tablet representing 19 drops of pure ox gall. To be sure of getting the genuine ox gall, be sure of getting Dioxol. They cost less than 2c each at good druggists, and a few tell. FrOftToct Take this ad to the llvv ivwl druggist named below and he will give you a free sample of Dioxol tablets. Try them yourself.

INDIANAPOLIS AIRPORT WEATHER CONDITIONS AT 9:30 A. M. ‘Compiled for The Times by Government Weather Observer J. H. Armington and airport officials.! Southwest wind. It miles an hour: barometric pressure. 20.23 at sea level; temperature, 65. Ceiling and visibility unlimited. A drive for 1,000 Indianapolis members of the National Aeronautic Association was begun today, with formation of a local chapter of the national organization. Fifty persons interested in development of aviation, business leaders, national guard reserve and commercial aviation officers were present at a meeting at the Indiana National Guard Armory Monday night and signed the application for a charter. It is expected that the national charter will be received in thirty days. The National Aeronautic Association is the American branch of the Federation Aeronautic Internationale and is the offeial governing body for aviation events, records, rules and general promotion and encouragement of flying. E. S. Gcrrell of the Stutz Motor Car Company is Indiana governor of the national body. May. R. F. Taylor of the Indiana National Guard presided at the organization session. . Cooperation of civic bodies and individuals in development of aviation interest in Indiana was solicited by leaders. The chapter is the first organized effort to develop all branches of local aviation. Committees: Gorrell, A. J. Dougherty. 84th Division, United States Reserves: J. C. Marshall, Standard Oil Company manager; Gen. William H. Kershner, Indiana National Guard, and C. L. Harrod, Chamber of Commerce general manager, advisory. Capt. H. W. Cook, United States Army, chairman; Lieut. Walter Peck. Schoen field commandent; Fred Maibucher and Paul H. Moore. Chamber aviation committee secretary, membership committee. Capt. H. W. Vawter was named secretary and Capt. William R. Kester, publicity chairman. Want Air Current Reports Aviation enthusiasts in Indianapolis today circulated a petition asking Meteorologist J. H. Armington of the local United States Weather-Bureau to add “upper air current” reports for the benefit of fliers. Paul H. Moore, Chamber of Commerce aviation committee secretary, said about forty had signed the request. A conference is scheduled with Armington on the possibility of additional weather reports to aid pilots. Meteorologist Armington said he would transmit the request to the Weather Bureau chief at Washington. “I am unable to say what will be done until the chief of the weather bureau passes on the petition. It is the policy of the bureau generally to meet the demands on the department as far as possible with the present personnel and funds available from congressional appropriation,” Armington said. Donald A. McConnell at Stout field is a cooperative airway observer for the Chicago bureau and sends daily reports to facilitate the mail planes. Flying forecasts are issued by the Government along well-established air routes, the reports for this district being issued at twelve-hour periods from Chicago. Pilots are dependent on weather reports in long flights. The development of aiviation locally probably will in time lead to extension of the bureau’s reports, it is said. Flying forecasts which give the “upper air currents” are obtained by a pilot balloon station, several thousand feet in the air, observed with a theodolite, an instrument similar to a surveyor's instrument, equipped with a telescope graduated horizontally and vertically.

CROWE OUSTED FROM ELECTION QUIZ IN CHICAGO Factional Feud Grows as Probe Is Placed in Special Hands. BY JAMES QUISENBERRY United Tress Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, May 15.—Bitterness developed rapidly in the feud between Chicago officials and civic organizations today with the approach of a special grand jury investigation into an alleged “politi-cal-criminal alliance.” Murders, bombing. kidnaping, sluggings—the reign of gang violence which terrorized the last primary election campaign—will be resurrected from the police records by the special grand jury in an attempt to fix responsibility for the disorders. For once, however, the big parade of crime will not pass before State s Attorney Robert E. Crowe. Crowe virtually lost his fight with the Chicago Bar Association, which petitioned for the investigation, over the appointment of a special State’s attorney to lead the inquiry, and ias a result his place will be taken, on this occasion, by Attorney General Carlstrom. Carlstrom Was expected to arrive here Thursday to take charge ot the inquiry. The action of Chief Justice William V. Brothers of the Criminal Court, in appointing Carlstrom to act as special State's attorney, gave the bar association leaders the first major victory in their fight against Crowe, whom they had denounced bitterly in- asking for the investigation. “I am convinced,” Chief Justice Brothers said in his ruling, “that a state of affairs exists where the public is aroused and where something should be done, and that at once.” Crowe, in denying the bar association’s charges that he possessed a disqualifying interest in vote frauds or violence, accused his opponents of coming into court “with a Bible in one hand and a bucket of mud in the other.” He charged the association’s petition was a political move'by the faction of Senator Charles S.

STRESEMANN. BERLIN LEADER, CRITICALLY ILL Condition Reported Grave as Catarrah Weakens Heart Action. Hu l. iiilcil Press BERLIN, May 15.—Dr. Gustav Stresemann, German foreign minister, was seriously ill today and doctors were alarmed because his heart action has been weakened by gastric intestinal catarrh. At midnight it was said the foreign minister was w-orse. Doctors were in constant attendance. Dr. Stresemann became ill shortly after he returned to Berlin from Heidelberg. It was believed that his condition had been induced by ptomaine poisoning, which had revived kidney trouble from which the German leader had been a chronic sufferer. His condition became worse Monday and doctors were alarmed by the weakness of his heart action. They said his recovery depended first on his heart and then on improvement of his kidneys. At 10 a. m. today Stresemann's condition was said to be unchanged and still critical. Disclosure that Stresemann’s condition was grave ended rumors that this was a “diplomatic illness” by which he ha dlioped to avoid receiving a host of offeial congratulations on his 50th birthday, May 10. Opposition newspapers today joined in washing a swift recovery to the foreign minister. The Tageblatt paid a tribute to Stresemann, saying; “His is a wise foreign political leadership and he is an eminent personality.” SENATOR ENTERS RACE FRANKFORT. Ind., May 15. Howard A. Gann, State Senator for Clinton, Carroll and White Counties, today became the third candidate to seek the Republican nomination for State treasurer, subject to the Republican State convention.
