LAUNCH NEW SENATE[ATTACK WN KELLOGG TREATY

‘ROUND ROBIN’ PLAN DROPPED BY PACT FOES Direct Resolution Will Quiz Committee on Monroe Doctrine. CONSIDER DRY ISSUES Various Groups Celebrate Ninth Anniversary of Prohibition. BT PAUL R- MALLON United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON,. Jan. 14.—Under heavy pressure from the White House and the state department, senate irreconcilables today dropped their “round ropin'' petition against the Kellogg anti-war treaty and took anew and more direct line of attack. While the telephone bells in their offices were ringing with calls from Secretary Kellogg, the irreconcilables met and decided to propose a direct resolution in the senate calling upon the foreign relations committee to make an official report of what it thinks the treaty means as regards the Monroe doctrine and other American foreign policies. As soon as the senat§ met. Senator James A. Reed of Missouri, proposed the resolution. It was not discussed and consideration of it. was delayed until Tuesday. It lies on the table meantime. Bingham Explains Stand The position oi ths irreconcilibles was outlined to the United Press by Senator Bingham, administration Republican and reservatlonist, and who circulated the "round robin” position. “We have twenty-four signatures to the petition and have decided to seek no more.” said Bingham. “We have shown by this petition that there is a very formidable sentiment in the senate in favor of a definite statement by the foreign relations committee as to the American interpretation of the treaty. We, therefore-, have decided to ask a direct vote in the senate on the issue and have provided for such a vote by introduction of the Reed resolution.” Prohibition Anniversary President Coolidge invited Bingham to the White House late Saturday and Kellogg was busy on the phone this morning, urging reservationists to abandon the “round robin” petition. They felt the petition materially would delay a vote on the treaty. By this new line of attack the reservationists believe they have satisfied some of the objections of the White House and the state department. While these off-stage maneuvers were occupying the attention of the leaders, various groups were combining to celebrate the, ninth anniversary week of prohibition in a fitting manner. The judiciary committee virtually killed the compromise Edge-Jones resolution proposing to authorize a Hoover investigation of prohibition by a committee of nine members. Delay Dry Resolution The committee was understood to be lined up nine to four in favor cf indefinite delay of the resolution. The objectors took the position primarily that it would be unethical for congress to act on a Hoover campaign promise before he had a chance to recommend action he desires. It was understood the resolution will be delayed until after Hoover’s inauguration. On the floor Senator Karris (Dem., Ga.) was trying to collect dry strength in favor of ms amendment increasing appropriations for prohibition by $26,000,000. Harris contended the objections of Secretary of Treasury Mellon to the increase were insufficient and he demanded a vote. The house was preparing to pass the long-delayed war department appropriation bill.

TAKE SALTS IF STOMACH ISN’T ACTING RIGHT Say* Indigestion Results from an Excess of Hydrocloric Acid. Undigested food delayed in the stomach decays, or rather ferments, the same as food left in the open air, 6ays a noted authority. He also tells us that Indigestion is caused by Hyperacidity meaning there is an excess of hydrochloric acid in the stomach which prevents complete digetsion and starts food fermentation. Thus everything eaten sours in the stomach, forming acid fluids and gases which inflate the stomach like a toy balloon. Then we feel a heavy, lumpy misery’ in the chest; we belch up gas; we eructate sour food or have heartburn, flatulence, water-brash or nausea. He tells us to lay aside all digestive acids and instead get from any pharmacy four ounces of Jad Salts and take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast and drink it while it is effervescing, and furthermore, to continue this for a week. While relief often follows the ftrst dose, it is important to help neutralize the acidity, remove the gas-making mass, start the liver, stimulate the kidneys and thus promote a free flow of pure digestive juices. Jad Salts in inexpensive, and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia and sodium phosphate. This harmless salts is used for many stomach disorders with excellent results.— Advertisement.

Indiana senators today stag'd a farewell session for their chiefsIn a typical speech retiring Lieu-tenant-Governor, F. Harold Van Orman turned over the gavel as presiding officer to the new LieutenantGovernor, Edgar D. Bush, Salem. The occasion was not new to Bush as once before he served in similar capacity under the administration of Governor James E. Goodrich. When the senate first convened today they joined the house in an official vote canvass and Van Orman then appointed Senators Harlan, Hodges, Moorehead, Lochard and Durham as a senate committee to escort the Governor-elect and party to the inaugural ceremonies.

Senators appointed were Harlan, Hodges and Durham. The retiring Lieutenant Governor then delivered his farewell. “Four years, three hours and thirty seconds ago,” he started out in a burlesque Lincolnian manner, "I too kover the responsibilities of this great office. “I’ve enjoyed it and I trust that you have also. Needless to say that I regret leaving, but, maybe, I can stay on and be a lobbyist. "At any rate, when I do show up around here I hope that you will still call me Governor. Keep calling me that no matter how old I get. Expresses His Love “I trust I will not seem effeminate if I teil you men that I love you. For I do love you and want you to remember me.” He then recited a bit of verse appropriate for the occasion and relinquishing the gavel, as he said, “with great grief,” he turned the body over to Bush. Bush pleaded for co-operation and harmony, particularly from the press, and assured minority members of a fair deal. “I appreciate constructive criticism from the press,” he asserted “but when we are trying to work out problems we should have co-op-eration from all.” Bush said the senate patronage committee had acted “wisely” in adopting a rule that senate employes should be retained for anly fifteen days. He said he had been working hard to appoint “workable” senate committees. These, probably will be announced Tuesday. Senator Joseph M. Cravens (Dem., Ohio, Switzerland, Jefferson, Clark), minority leader, expressed the minority’s appreciation of treatment accorded them by the retiring Lieu-tenant-Governor. Senators C. Oliver Holmes (Rep., Lake), and Bruce E. Cooper (Rep., Posey, Vanderburgh and Warrick), added their commendation to Van Orman’s services.

CAUCUS CHIEFS TO BE_PICKED Three ‘Prelims’ Face Assembly Before Work Starts. Inauguration today of Governor Harry G. Leslie left three important items of business on the legislative calendar before the seventy-sixth general assembly can get down to work in earnest. Causcus chairmen remained to be selected; committees appointed in senate and house, and the new Governor’s formal message heard in joint session Tuesday. Republican house members were to select their causcus officers this afternoon. It appeared increasingly certain that Representative Claude G. Malott of Bloomington, would be named chairman. Mrs. Bertha Zimmerman. Terre Haute, representative from Vigo county, was being advanced for secretary of the house caucus. Republican senators were still casting about for a caucus chairman with Senatpr James J. Nejdl of Whiting, and Alonzo H. of Kingman, persisting in refusing the post. Last minute switches in fifty-one house committees and fifty senate committees were being made by Speaker James M. Knapp and Lieu-tenant-Governor Edgar D. Bush as legislators returned to the capital. In Indianapolis, Coffin forces which have been left out on all patronage plums, were cheered a bit by the prospect of the appointment of Senator Sumner Clancy to the chairmanship of senate Judiciary B committee and the appointment of Representative Lloyd D. Claycombe to the chairmanship of the corresponding house committee. Both are Coffin men. REVISE MANAGER BILL C. of C. Amendment to Limit Proportional Representation. Proportional representation in election of city manager commissioners will be limited to Indianapolis instead of being made state-wide, representatives of the City Manager league and the civic affairs committee of the Chamber of Commerce decided Saturday.

SEEK TO REPEAL” ACT Repeal of the 1919 act creating a department of municipal welfare for Indianapolis will be sought by Representative Frank J. Noll Jr. (Rep.) Marion, in the general assembly. The department was intended to take over some of the work now conducted by the Indianapolis Foundation and by the Community Fund, but has deteriorated into a paper organization, said Noll, who was author of the measure.

Splendid Recipe To Stop A Cough That “Hangs On”

The best cough remedy that money could buy, cau easily be made at home. It saves money and gives you the most reliable, quick-acting medicine you ever Used. The way it takes hold of stubborn coughs and chest colds, giving immediate relief, is astonishing. Any druggist can supply you with 2}s ounces of Pinex. Pour this into a pint bottle, and fill up with plain granulated sugar syrup or strained honey. It’s no trouble at all to mix, and when you once use it you will never be without it. Keeps perfectly and tastes good —children really like it. It is surprising how quickly this home-made remedy loosens the germladen phlegm, and soothes and heals the inflamed membranes. At the same time, it is absorbed into the blood, where it acts directly on the bronchial tubes, and helps the system throw off the whole trouble. Even those severe coughs which usually follow the "flu”, are promptly ended. Pinex is a highly concentrated compound of genuine N’orwav Pine, containing the active agent of creosote, in a refined, palatable form. Nothing known in medicine is more helpful in cases of severe coughs, chest colds and bronchial troubles. Do not accept a substitute for Pinex. It is guaranteed to give prompt relief w money refunded. —Advertisement.

County hospitals would be erected by petition instead of by election, as now provided, oy provisions of a bill to be introduced in the legislature by Representative J. P. Curry, Vevay. County commissioners would be compelled to proceed to build a hospital when 25 per cent of the freeholders of each township in the county had signed a petition for it.

SEEK LAW TO VALIDATE CITY’S GAS CONTRACT Proposed Act to Be Put Before Assembly Ndxt Week. Early introduction of the proposed legislation to validate the city’s rights to the Citizens Gas Company was predicted today by city officials. Attorneys for the city and legal representatives of the utility conferred Saturday on the con e; iplated “remedial” legislation to enable the city to take over and operate the $20,000,000 plant as contemplated under the original 1905 franchise. It was announced that the attorneys agreed “the city can and should acquire the property.” John W. Holtzman, mayor when the franchise was granted, and Fred C. Gause, special city counsel, and Corporation Counsel Oren S. Hack represented the gas trustees and directors. To Create Utility Board It is understood that the bill will be drafted and ready for introduction in the legislature the last of this week or first of next. Action of the legislature to validate the contract between the city and the gas company tand he articles of incorporation of the utility will be sought, it was reported. This would wipe out all questions as to the enforceability of '’he city’s claim to the property as originally provided. Another bill is being prepared, creating a utility board which would manage and supervise the property. It is likely that a utility district similar to the park and sanitary districts would be created. Such a unit would be “nonpolitical and have power to operate, control and finance,” the utility*. It is understood the counsel for the city plans delaying the formal notice of intent to take over the company's property until after the proper legislation is passed. Trustes to Meet Gas company trustees were to meet this afternoon in *accordance with provisions of the articles of incorporation and bylaws to hold annual electoin of nine directors. The trustees recently received a pledge from directors that they were “a unit” in favoring the move to turn the property over to the city. Trustees are on record favoring carrying out the original intentions of the contract. Lucius B. Swift, Robert Lieber, Thomas L. Sullivan, Henry Kahn and Gus Schnull are trustees. Indications are that the present directors will be re-elected, although none of the gas officials would comment on their plans. The arrangements for the meeting were Cloaked in secrecy. Present directors: William H. Insley, John R. Welch, G. A. Efroymson, Franklin Vonnegut, J. H. Hooker, C. L. Kirk, Edgar H. Evans, James I. Dissette and Hornbrook.

I had so much headache, and at times my back hurt so I could hardly stand it. “I read about Cardui, and gvt some at the store to take.
