BOOTLEG BILL IS PASSED BY STATESENATE Gift or Sale of Liquor to Minor Made Felony by Measure. Establishment of a state livestock ✓ farm In proximity to the State School for Feeble-Minded Youth at Ft. Wayne, and an Initial appropriation of SIOO,OOO for that purpose, was proposed in one of the eighteen bills introduced in the state senate today. Passing three bills, including the debated measure to make sale or gift of liquor to a minor a felony, and adopting committee reports on nine others, the upper house adjourned at noon, to reconvene Friday at 10 a. m. Senator Lee J. Hartzell of Ft. Wayne introduced the bill for the state stock farm. It provided for appointment, by the Governor, of a board of seven trustees, all to be farmers of experience, who would receive $75 annually for their services and direct employment of a superintendent. The bill would authorize the employment on the farm of youths from the feebleminded school. Bootlegger BiU Passes Without debate, Senator Carl M. Gray’s “bootlegger bill,” which was warmly argued Wednesday and failed by two votes of receiving the required majority, passed the Senate today, 27 to 22. Only by calling the absentees was Gray able to muster the needed majority. He passed the bill beyond further recall by a motion to reconsider and another to table the first motion, the motion carrying. Dr. Edward S. Shumaker, Indiana Anti-Saloon League superintendent, and Ethan A. Miles, attorney for the league, both of whom registered today as lobbyists “on all temperance legislation and matters pertaining thereto,” were in the senate when the bill passed. They had not been there when the unfavorable vote was made Wednesday. The bill makes the sale or gift of liquor to a minor a felony rather than a misdemeanor, and increases the present thirty days to six months’ penalty, to from one to two years’ imprisonment. Senator Ralph Adams of Shelbyville, who argued Wednesday that this was too severe and would make convictions difficult, came back today with a bill of his own, fixing the penalty for sale or gift of liquor to a minor at $lO Oto SSOO fine and from sixty days to one year’s imprisonment on the Indiana state farm. Other Measures Approved The other two bills passed by the senate tpday without a dissenting vote reduce time for keeping an estate open from a year to six months, within discretion of the court, and repealing the cognovit or judgment note law.

BILL AMS TO ABOLISH PUBLIC SERVICEJOARD Draft in House Deals Blow at Inflated Valuations by Utilities. A blow at inflated valuations of public utilities for rate-making purposes was struck today in two bills introduced in the house of representatives by Representative Cecil J. Kistler of Alcott and Goresst Knepper of Etna Green. The first bill abolishes the public service commission while the second recreates the commission as it is today but changes five sections of the law governing valuation for rate making purposes. Under this proposed statute, rates will be fixed on actual purchase value instead of appraisals. Sponsors of the bill declare that under the present system the utilities collect rates in accordance with their high valuation but do not pay taxes on the same figures. “It will be a leveler and make it possible not only for rates to be reduced but for the fair assessment of the utilities,” Kistler said. Complete chqckage on the number of gallons of gasoline sold in Indiana so that the state will not be defrauded of the gas tax through illegally sold and smuggled gasoline is provided in a bill introduced today by Representative Thomas Grant of Lowell.

MORROW HELD ‘OUT’ AS LIKELY CABINETCHOIGE Confers With Hoover; Will Return to Post in Mexico. BY THOMAS L. STOKES, United Press Staff Correspondent MIAMI BEACH, Fla., Jan. 24. Dwight Morrow, ambassador to Mexico, was regarded as removed definitely from the picture as probable secretary of state after his conference here today with PresidentElect Herbert Hoover. Morrow plans to return to his post in Mexico City early next week and it was indicated he expects to remain there after Mar. 4. Morrow declined to discuss his conference with President-Elect Hoover, which lasted nearly three hours. He- expects to leave here this afternoon for New York, sailing for Mexico City early next week. He expects to stop one day in Washington. The ambassador gave the Presi-dent-elect a general review of Mexican affairs. He urged upon Hoover, it is understood, a visit to Mexico during his administration. Such a visit, he feels, would aid in bringing the two republics still closer together. Hoover plans to make such a trip at some time during his administration. The President-elect, Mrs. Hoover and a party of friends left the Penney estate at 11:00 shortly after Morrow’s departure, for a three-day fishing trip. The party embarked in the two yachts which will carry them to Angel Fish creek thirty miles from here, off the Florida keys. Mr. Hoover expects to return Saturday night or Sunday. Morrow arrived here from Nassau, where he has been on a vacation. The ambassador had been mentioned soon after election for

'LOOKS TO WORLD FAIR Bill Introduced to Provide Indiana Exhibit in Chicago. Creation of an Indiana commission of nine to represent Indiana at the Chicago world’s fair in 1933 and to see that industrial and agricultural exhibits are presented and that this state obtain recognition is provided in a bill introduced by State Representative John W. Scott of Gary. The members of the commission are to serve without pay. secretary of state and quite an active campaign has been carried on by his friends. He was generally regarded as a man of too independent views to take over the handling of foreign affairs in the administration of Hoover, who, it is generally believed, intends to be his own secretary of state. There still is much for Morrow to do in Mexico and he is expected to remain at his post there furthering the cordial relations between the two countries. Four secret service men accompanied the fishing party, utilizing a small coast guard vessel. Neither one of the yachts carries a radio, so that Hoover will be completely out of touch with affairs. However, he intends to do some work. Two stenographers, but no newspaper men accompanied the party. Adopt Procedure Resolution A concurrent resolution requiring all bills introduced in the Indiana legislature when amendatory of existing statutes to cite in a footnote the number of the section affected as listed in Burns annotated statutes of 1926 was introduced Wednesday by Representative John W.
