STATE HOSPITAL NEEDS OUTLINED BY LEGISLATOR Family Welfare Society Hears Senator Holmes at Annual Meeting. Indiana's need of additional appropriations to relieve crowded conditions at penal institutions, better facilities at psycopathic hospitals and social service plants to augment state institutions was stressed by St '*. Senator C. Oliver Holmes in an address before the Family Welfare Society at the sixth annual meeting of the organization at the Lincoln Wednesday night. Senator Holmes declared that the present session of the legislature would find him closely identified with movements in this direction. “There is hope to be seen in the fact that the budget committee already is considering ways and means of providing additional sources for such appropriations,” said Holmes. It is of the utmost importance that social welfare activities be lifted from their present hampered condition caused by carelessness and neglect.” Reports Made by Officers Leo M.

JOHN 0. JR. IN NEW FIGHT TO OUSTSTEWART Letter Sent Stockholders Asks Proxies Against Indiana Oil Head. Bn United I'ecss NEW YORK. Jan. 10—A new move to oust Robert W. Stewart as chairman of the Standard Oil Company of Indiana is being made by John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Rockefeller, who vainly tried to unseat Stewart last year, has sent a letter to company stockholders seeking their proxies for the annual meeting in March in opposition to Stewart. According to Dow Jones Financial Service, the letter outlines Rockefeller’s request to Stewart last year asking the chairman to resign because of his part in the Continental Trading Corporation. Some of the Liberty bond profits of the mysterious Continental concern were paid to former Secretary of Interior Fall after he granted the Teapot Dome concession to Harry F. Sinclair. Other bonds were kept by Stewart until a year ago when he turned them over to Indiana Standard. Rockefeller tells the stockholders that he already has received “definite assurances” that holders of “a substantial amount of stock” are opposed to Stewart’s tenure. He adds that other officials of the Indiana company are capable of carrying on the firm’s affairs without Stewart’s aid.

NUDITY IN NIGHT CLUBS FOUGHT Whalen Out to Put Halt to Dancing Godivas. Bii United Press NEW YORK, Jan. 10.—Police Commissioner Grover Whalen’s next campaign will be against nudity in night clubs. In answering criticism against his smashing tactics in speakeasy raids, Whalen issued a statement which declared his campaign “also applies to the so-called high class speakeasy restaurants and cabarets that parade nude women for the edification of their patrons.” Almost every night club in the city has chorus girls who kick stockingless and powdered legs in the faces of the customers at ringside tables. But all of them wear some c' thing—or at least beads. Broadway nabitues say the one place where nudity flourishes is in Ziegfeld’s latest theatrical success, “Whoopee,” where five Godivas ride horses down a plaster of paris gorge and into the wings. But that, according to the dramatic critics, is art with a capital “A.”

AIM TO HALT IMPEACHMENT OF GOVERNOR Foes of Oklahoma Chief Rally to Fight Counter Move of Friends. OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla.. Jan. 10.— Anti-administration forces determined to impeach Governor Henry S. Johnston, reconvened in the Oklahoma legislature today to fight a counter move by administration supporters assertedly designed to sidetrack the insurgent program. A resolution providing for appointment of a committee of five to investigate rumors and newspaper charges that legislators were bribed to change their votes in the last session when impeachment charges were sought, was introduced by Senator W. J. Otjen, Republican floor leader. Senator Otjen is said to be friendly to the forces of the Democratic Governor. Viewed as Sidetracks Move Anti-Johnston forces viewed the resolution as a definite move to sidetrack them in their attempt to secure the Governor’s impeachment on charges of incompetency. Otjen’s resolution alleged that charges had been made verbally and by a newspaper, “that money had been given senators: that promises of pardons and appointments were made to senators and that contracts were offered to them in order to procure adjournment of the impeachment session. The resolution alleged that these charges had affected the credit and integrity of the senators. Debate Expected Today The resolution probably will come up for debate in the senate today. Even if the resolution is adopted impeahement counts still could be voted by the house and passed on to the senate for action. The surprise move came after proJohnston Democrats at a caucus decided they would accept a course of conciliation rather than attempt to adopt a compromise policy in an effort to stop the steam roller that apparently is bearing down on Governor Johnston. Before a legislature whose majority is hostile to his administration, Governor Johnston read his biennial message Wednesday.
