SENATE. HOUSE BATTLE OVEB BIG DRY PURSE Amendments Tacked to Act by Upper House Brings Contest. BY PALL R. MALLON United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON. Jan. 24.—A determined contest between the house and the senate over the proposed $24,250,000 prohibition increase and the tax refund publicity clause was in prospect today. The first deficiency appropriation bill with these two provisions objectionable to the administration included was sent over to the house by the senate this afternoon. The bill was put on the table temporarily, but not until Representative Jack Garner, Texas, the Democratic “watch dog. of the treasury.” secured the consent of Republicans that they would not take it up without giving public notice of twenty-four hours. Gamer announced he wants an expression of sentiment from the house on the senate's two new clauses and that he is determined to get an expression before the house decided to appoint conferees to thrash the matter out. If Gamer is successful, the prohibition increase and the tax refund publicity clause would be accepted by the house and thereby taken out of the realm of dispute. Gamer May Fail The administration has a majority in the house, much stronger than in the unruly senate and it is therefore unlikely that Garner will be successful. In case he is defeated the bill will go to conference where three senators and three representatives determine the final form of the bill; the United Press learned the names of the six conferees scheduled to be appointed and found that four of these six are opposed to the prohibition increase and doubtful about the tax publicity provisions. The house conferees to be appointed are Representatives Crampton (Rep., Mich.), Will Wood (Rep., Ind.) and Byrnes (Dem., Tenn.). The senate conferees are expected to be Warren (Rep., Wyo.), Smoot (Rep., Utah), and McKellar (Dein., Tenn.). The four Republicans are cpposed to the $24,000,000 increase in prohibition. Warren and Smoot voted against it. Crampton told the United Press he was not in favor of it but would “go into the conference with an open mind.” Wood, was not present today but he is known to oppose it. j Must Stick to Majority Byrnes and McKellar are strongly in favor of the prohibition and the tax fund publicity. “Asa dry Democrat, I am willing to trust the increase with the administration,” Byrnes said. The senate conferees would be bound, however, to stand for the senate amendment openly even though they were opposed to them individually. They must carry out the instructions of the senate. Judging from past experience, it is probable some sort of compromise may be worked out. While these plans are being arranged, the senate was considering minor business in preparation for taking up the long-delayed naval cruiser bill, and the house was working on minor calendar bills. ACT TO DRAW BUSINESS Proposed Changes to Corporation' - Laws Called Aid for New Firms. Recodification of Indiana’s corporation laws as embraced in the Street-Bosson bill in the statehouse cf representatives, is designed to attract and encourage corporate business in the state, Frederick E. Schorteireier, former secretary of state, told members of the senate and house committees on corporations, Wednesday night. The revision was undertaken by the commission authorized by the 1927 legislature so that the law's might be liberalized and made comparable with those of other states, Schortemeier said. YOUNGER ‘POOL SHARKS’ Bill in Legislature Would Reduce Age From 21 to 18. Here’s a break for high school boys who like to frequent poolrooms. State Representative John L. Benedict of Indianapolis, by request, introduced a bill which would lower the age of those permitted to frequent poolrooms to 18 instead of 21 years. The bill was referred to ihe commute on public morals.

ALL AT ONCE—MAN Scientist “Puts Ape in Place"

DR. AUSTIN H. CLARK, noted biologist of the Smithsonian institution, who startled the scientific world a few days ago with anew theory of life, in which he maintained that man appeared suddenly on earth In the same form as he is in today, has wirtten the following article for the United Press, explaining his new theory. Evolutionists throughout the country have attackked his theory as without foundation, while creationists have found it anew basis of argument for their beliefs. Actually, Dr. Clark differs with both groups, accepting some of the ideas of the creationists and combining them with a radical idea of evolution. BY DR. AUSTIN H. CLARK (Written for the United Pres) (Copyright T 929. by United Press) WASHINGTON. Jan. 24.—This concept of evolution is rather a harmonizing of previous theories than anew idea. While the idea of linear evolution involving a time element is in general quite valid within restricted groups, as for instance n the horses, yet must undergo a certain modification, for gap sare found in all of these evolutionary lines which seem to be real, that Is were never, so far as we have been able to learn, bridged by so-called missing links.

This is a modification of the commonly accepted ideas of evolution in the direction of the theory, known as the mutation theory’, upheld by De Vries. u a IT is obvious that the gap between cats and dogs and their immediate relatives is quite' broad, and it remains broad throughout the fossil record. Cats never become dogs; but both are carnivorous mammals. Between the back-boned animals and the invertebrates, such as the insects, the gaps are very broad, and those peculiar types which are intermediate between them are widely different from either. Between the invertebrate groups, as insects, shells, starfishes and so forth, the gt.ps are still broader. These gaps go back unchanged to the earliest fossils that we know. So that so far as these creatures are concerned we have no justification in assuming a time element in the evolutionary process. So wide are the gaps between these various types o t humbler creatures that these cannot be arranged in any sort of evolutionary line. But they do seem to fit perfectly well into a some-

what complicated diagram showing each to have affinities with several others, not merely with, a single one. This portion of the idea Is wholly new, but it is very technical and it deals with creatures with names familiar only to specialists in zoology. It might possibly be described as an exaggerated application of the views of De Vries. *** u * n REGARDING MAN, he is in structure very close to the. manlike ape, but no link between the two ever has been found, and I do not believe that such a link ever existed. Os course, there may have been such a link, but until this is proved we have no justification in denying the known facts and assuming its existence. So far as our knowledge goes, man appeared on earth in substantially the form in which we know him now.

SON PLAYS GREAT ROLE OF CHRISTUS Adolph Fassnacht Is the Seventh Generation of the World Famous Family to Be So Honored. WITH the advent of the Freiburg Passion Play in this city next week, at the Murat, and with the knowledge that the traditional and unwritten laws of that little city in Germany, demand that the roles be descended from father to son and mother to daughter, the question arises as to who will succeed Adolph Fassnacht, as the Christus, who has b 3 en playing the role since 1910. Mr. Fassnacht inherited this role from his father, and is the seventh generation of the world-famous family to have the honor. But when he retires from the role, or because that health demands he relinquish the characterization, he will be succeeded by his nephew, Georg Jr., whose father has the rnlp nf .TnHoc

father has the role of Judas. Georg Jr., is 24 years old and the hereditary succession will not be broken. Although Adolph Fassnacht is married, he has no son, but a daughter, Amalie, who plays the Virgin Mother. Mrs. Adolph Fassnacht is Mary Magdalene. In the Freiburg performance, Georg, Junior is St. John, or Johannes, according to the German version, and though young as he is, he has played the jole of the Christus, at rehearsals,’ for he is constantly being schooled and educated for this honor, by both his father and uncle. Young Mr. Fassnacht has not only histrionic ability for the roles in the Passion Play, but has a marvelous tenor voice, having studied music and opera for more than ten years. His voice and ability lend themselves most charmingly to the role of St. John, and as he matures, they, of course, will be more valuable in the role of Christus, when he succeeds his uncle. The Fassnachts consider the Passion Play their vocation and not avocation. Thus it is that the critics, clergy and laity the world over have remarked over their marvelous ability. They actually live the parts they portray, because of their intensive training from early childhood, appearing in each performance in Freiburg, as it is given every ten years. This is the first American tour of the players, and Indianapolis is one of the more fortunate cities in being able to witness the Pageant Sublime. The entire story, the same performance as given in Freiburg, is simply, tenderly and beautifully told, it is claimed. Other theaters today offer: “The Wild Duck" at the Playhouse; vaudeville at the Lyric: “Mischief Makers” at the Mutual; Charlie Davis at the Indiana; “The Last Warning” at the Circle; “Trail of '9B” at the Palace; “The Singing Fool” at the Granada; “The Red Dance” at the Apollo, and, Buddy Kane at the Colonial.

Pleasant tasting, but it surely has the '‘authority!” Plenty of people with a bad cold in the morning have been rid of it by night; and the secret is Pape’s Cold Compound. You’ll think it just luck the first time, but it always goes to the spot. Druggists have it fear 35c.—Advertisement.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

DEFENDS RIGHT OF WIVES TO SHOOTMATES Why Prosecute ’Em for Family Quarrels, Asks Woman’s Counsel. Bn United Pretts NEW YORK, Jan. 24.—The shooting of Dallett Wilson, in his law offices last- March by Mrs. Esther Evans de Forrest Wilson was “just a quarrel between husband and wife,” State Senator Elmer F. Quinn said today in summing up for the defense before Charles C. Nott, general sessions judge. Mrs. Wilson is on trial on a charge of first degree assault. Quinn expressed great amazement and Indignation that the law would interfere in a purely family affair since, "just as night follows day, wife will quarrel with husband and husband will quarrel with wife.” He also charged tb&t Mrs. Wilson is being prosecuted for the shooting merely “to save the record of the district attorney.” “She was indicted May 23 and I ask what the district attorney was doing in the month between then and January 7”? Quinn asked. “Why wasn’t she brought to trial? I’ll tell you—it was because they know they didn’t have any case. “Then there was a change in police commissioner and a big flareup in the papers and the district attorney was criticized. So they reached into a pigeonhole and dug out this case.” He said the state must show “willful wanton intent and deliberation” on the part oi Mrs. Wilson to shoot her husband before she could justly be convicted.

IHSTITUTIOH SCORED Brother of Jackson Under Fire for Management. A slap at James G. Jackkson, brother of ex-Govemor Ed Jackson and superintendent of the School for Feeble-Minded Youth at Ft. Wayne, was seen in a report of the state senate committee on benevolent institutions today, favoring passage of the Moorhead-Lochard bill returning control of the Butler Colony for Feeble-Minded to a board of trustees to be appointed by Governor Harry G. Leslie. In 1925, the legislature bowed to the pleasure of the incoming Governor Jackson and turned management of the ButlerviJle colony over to trustees of the Ft. Wayne institution, where the former Governor’s brother James, found a berth upon dismissal of Dr. Byron E. Biggs, eminent psychologist. * “Conditions at Butlerville under this arrangement have become deplorable,” said Senator Robert Moornead, who, with Senator J. Francis Lochard introduced the measure to separate management of the two institutions. PLAZA VISIT IS SET Legislators to Inspect World War Memorial on Jan. 30. Members of the Indiana house of representatives have been invited by the Indiana World War Memorial commission to inspect the plaza on the afternoon of Jan. 30, by Marcus Sonntag, commission president.

Wins Praise The quality of her acting as the Private Secretary in “The News Parade” is winning the praise of movie fans everywhere for this lovely newcomer to the screen. At home in New York City, hundreds admire her charming personality and she has fairly “set the style” on Broadway by the way she dresses her hair. "The simple method I use in caring for my hair,” says Miss Shea, “has been of great help to me in my motion picture work, where one’s hah- must always look its best. It’s just the thing for busy girls, too, because it is so easy. Most of the girls I know in stage and picture work are taking it up as soon as they hear about it. All you do is put a little Danderine on your brush every time you use it. It makes your hair so easy to dress and holds it in place wonderfully. It’s ideal for girls who are letting their hair grow. It keeps my hair and scalp so clean and comfortable. I don’t shampoo half so often now. It gives my hair such a silky, soft, lustrous appearance that all my friends comment on it.” Danderine removes the oily film from each strand of hair, restores its natural color, gives it more lustre than brilliantine. It cleanses and Invigorates the scalp; helps overcome dandruff. It is delightfully fragranced; isn’t sticky or oily; doesn’t show. Waves, “set” with it last longer. All drug stores have it, in generous 35c bottles.—Advertisement,
