REGISTRATION IS ASKED FOR STATEVOTERS Bill Introduced in House to Be Effective in 1929 Elections. Permanent registration of voters is provided in a bill introduced today in the house of representatitves by State Representative Zeola H. Misener of Michigan City. If passed, it will go into effect for the 1929 city elections. The 1927 legislature repealed the old registration law. The bill provides that the books are to be kept and that once having registered in a coun'y it would be unnecessary for a voter to register again, as long as he. is a resident of that county. First registration would begin July 1, 1929, and continue until within twenty-one days of the election, and be resumed Nov. 15, 1929, and continued until within twentyone days before the 1930 primary. Begin in December Thereafter, registration periods would begin the first secular day iD j December in even numbered yean i •*nd continue until twenty-one days j before the primary. Only voters whose names were not I on the registration books would be I required to reregister after the first registation lists wee compiled. Photostatic copies of the signed registrations blanks for each precinct would be given the election Inspectors for comparison at the pplls. The proposed law also provides that precinct changes be made at the March session of the county commissioners and must be announced withiir ten days after the session. Any infringements of the proposed law will be regarded as a misdemeanor, punishable by SIOO fine and imprisonment not exceeding ninety days.

DENTISTS HURT IN AUJOCRASH Three Injured When Car Crashes Into Pole. Three Indianapolis dentists were injured, one, critically, when their automobile crashed into a telephone pole in the 1200 block West Washington street at 2:20 a. m. today. When police arrived at the scene they found the three men lying unconscious on the sidewalk and street where they had been thrown. Dr. Robert Stone, 30, who lives near Martinsville and who has an office here at 371% Massachusetts avenue, was taken to city hospital in a critical condition with a fractured skull and broken right arm. Dr. Fred Hoffa, 28, of 2117 West Washington street, was treated at city hospital for a concussion of the brain and a severe scalp wound and taken home. Dr. Neil Howard, 32, Ft. Wayne apartments, formerly of Muncie, Ind., driver of the car, was given first aid treatment and found not seriously injured. Police placed speeding and vagrancy charges against Howard, pending investigation of the accident. The car struck the pole a terrific blow, moving It s’x inches on its base and tearing loose phone wires, police said.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

STIFF PENALTY ADVOCATED FOR STATE BANDITS 10 to 25-Year Prison Terms Recommended for Holdups. Crime and its penalty engrossed the Indiana senate for an hour today, when lawyer-senators levied a barrage of amendments at the stringent provisions of the Hartzell bill. The measure, on second reading, proposed amendment of twenty-five years for burglary, banditry and highway robbery, with the life sentence mandatory if the victim is wounded and death sentenced mandatory if the victim is killed. From Senator John L. Niblack of Indianapolis, former Marion county deputy prosecutor and chairman of the senate committee on criminal code, came most of the proposals to modify the drastic punishment which Senator Lee J. Hartzell of Ft. Wayne incorporated in his bill. It emerged from the debate changed to provide an indeterminate sentence of ten to twenty-five years

for its original twenty-five-year term, and was made a special order of business for Tuesday at 11 a. m. This bill marks what we’ve got to come to if we are going to stop crime in Indiana,” Hartzell declared. The man who wounds another in a holdup ought to be locked up until he dies!” Senator C. Oliver Holmes of Gary, opposed the drastic punishment and cited figures on Indiana’s prison population to support his argument that extreme laws against crime are not an effective deterrent. Interrupting Holmes’ recital of prison population, Senator Earl Rowley of La Porte waved a newspaper at Holmes and suggested he increase his figures to include Dr. Edward S. Shumaker, Indiana AntiSaloon League superintendent, just refused a permanent writ of habeas corpus in federal court. “We are not stopping crime by this kind of legislation,” Holmes insisted, and we are not making life any safer.” Amendatory motions became so frequent from Niblack’s quarter that Hartzell finally remonstrated “they’ve made motions to amend everything except a couple of periods.” An amendment proposed by Senator James J. Nejdl of Whiting recommended life imprisonment “for the person or persons who steal all the lead pencils off senators’ desks.” Nine new bills were introduced, including the permanent registration measure drafted by the Indiana League of Women Voters. It would

make registration permanent, except for change of residence or failure to vote in any two consecutive elections. Other introductions included measures to substitute the names of candidates for president and vicepresident for those electors on bal-
