GAS PROPERTY BILL REPORTED 0. K JOHOUSE Provides Method of Operation of Utility by City. The house ol representatives today received the unanimous report of the committee on affairs of the City of Indianapolis recommending passage of the Claycombe-Lowry bill providing the method of operation of the Citizens Gas Company property after it is acquired by the city. The house accepted the report. Decision to start the bill on its way was reached by the committee late Thursday. • The companion measure providing for the legalization of the 1905 contract between the city and the gas company providing that the city may assume control by 1930 has advance to third reading in the house of representative and will come up for this action early next week. The bill took two steps Tuesday, being ordered to engrossment an hour later. No Service Bill Report No report was made by Judiciary A committee today on the KistlerKnapper bills, which would repeal the public service commission and create anew commission, but changing the methods of valuation for rate making. Members of the committee at a hearing late Thursday inquired if a repeal measure was necessary when all that was desired was to change certain section of the present act. State Representative Cecil J. Kistler, Elkhart, co-author of the bill, declared that he had asked an opinion on this point from Samuel R. Artman, special deputy attor-ney-general, and was given an informal opinion that the bill could not be amended. Members of Judiciary A committee scoffed at this and declared inasmuch as the legislature nad created the bill it could amend it. A formal opinion of the attorney-gen-eral probably will be asked. Police Bill in Hopper An amendment to the police pension bill, making it possible for a policeman having twenty years nonconsecutive service to be placed on pension, thereby changing the present statute calling for consecutive years of service, was introduced Thursday by Representative John W r—rd, Logansport. A bill which will enable Hoosiers, living in Washington, D. C., to vote in city, state and national elections as if they were residing in Indana. was introduced by Representative John E. King, Indianapolis. The bill required the Governor to appoint two clerks and a judge for each major party from Hoosiers living in Washington and provides that they shall open polls for all registered Hoosiers to vote on the days that primaries, cities and state elect , "' r, s are held in Indiana. Amendment of the thoroughfare law to limit to 10 per cent the share abutting pre—ty owners may bear in the widening or straightening of streets already improved, was embodied in a bill introduced by Representative John L. Benedict, Indianapolis. The bill applies only to this city. Asks License on Stores Under the existing law’, Benedict said, property owners often are required to bear as high as 25 per cent of such improvements. The bill levying a heavy tax on chain stores went to the ways and means committee which is searching ways of meeting increased demands for state funds. The bill wculd require a $1 license of all stores iroividually owned, but the license -fee would graduate upward to $l5O for each store if fifty or more were operated under single ownership or control. A board for the registration and licensing of architects would be created by provisions of a bill introduced by Representative J. Prank Smith of Lafayette. The board would be appointed by the administrative building council. Fees for registration or annual renewal would be $25. Another jab at the criminal was contained in a bill introduced by Rer~-sentative Robert B. Stewart, Brazil. It would make petty larceny punishable by one to eight years’ imprisonment.

I.—Strict enforcement of the 10 o’clock curfew ordinance was invoked in Milwaukee’s morals drive today as an aid in protecting girls from the designs of “unprincipled sheiks.” The law was revived in notices sent to all dance hall proprietors by Police Chief Jacob G. Laubenheimer. The warnings, if unheeded, will bring prompt revocation of licenses Parents, however, were more severely criticised m the chief’s statement that were dance hall operators. He indicated that police have taken a hand in the morals situation because “parents have flagrantly neglected their responsibilities.” RAP ~GAS TAX BOOST St. Joseph County G. O. P. Club Protests Increase in Levy. Protest against any increase in the gasoline tax in Indiana was registered with both houses of the gen- ■ oral assembly today by the St. Joseph County Republican Club.

MINERS TRUST WALESFOR AID Trip to Coal Fields Seen as Boom to Poor. By United Press LONDON, Feb. I.—Direct action for which the prince of Wales is famous wirt bring prompt relief to the hundreds of thousands of sufferers in the British coal fields, it was predicted today. England has been stirred profoundly by the prince’s tour of Durham and Northumberland counties, where he discovered poverty and suffering among the unemployed miners and their families which he did not believe could exist. War veterans remember how the prince had a habit of making unexpected tours of the billets in France where British troops rested after returning from the trenches. They remembered how, if conditions were found even slightly undesirable, there ensued a great scurrying, of red-capped staff officers, arranging better quarters. Many times, officers were compelled to shift while the troops were given the choicest huts. A parallel was expected in the government offices in Whitehall and “real activity” was predicted there as soon as the prince has made his report. . It was expected that the prince would confer first with Premier Stanley Baldwin and urge him to leave nothing undone to relieve the suffering of the unemployed effectively and promptly. ‘PAPERS AID GROWTH’ Advertising Club Hears Praise for Profession. . During the last few decades, newspapers have aided the growth of all other industries and the development of the world, H. W. Blakeslee of Chicago, western manager of the advertising bureau of the American Newspaper Publishers’ Association, told the Indianapolis Advertising Club, Thursday noon at the Columbia Club. “While I am not unmindful of the growth and development of all other industries, which have done so much for the advancement of civilization, not only for our own country but throughout the world, I give first place to the newspapers because without this great agency all other growth would have been much slow - er, less comprehensive and less effective than it has been,” he said.

EXPECT 200,000 AT INAUGURAL Giant Radio Hookup Arranged for Ceremony. By UnitidPiess WASHINGTON, Feb. 1. With inauguration day little more than a month away, the nation’s capital is preparing to receive the 200,000 , guests who are expected to see Herbert Hoover take his oath of office March 4. Four thousand persons saw Calvin Coolidge inaugurated in 1924. Reviewing stands to seat 28,000 along the line of march from the White House to the capitol are under construction. Washington’s leading hotels already are booked to capacity. Each mail brings the inaugural committee reservations for the charity ball at Washington auditorium the night of inauguration day. Preparations for the most extensive radio “hook-up” in history are being made. Combined networks of the National and Columbia broadcasting chains, co-operating w'ith independent stations, will carry a reportorial account of the parade and the speeches of PresidentElect Hoover and Senator Curtis. Powerful short-wave stations will speed descriptive words of the ceremonies even to foreign countries. Also a television broadcast of the inaugural scene is being considered by radio engineers and the committee. HOSPITAL TO GET AID City Offered $50,000 to Outfit Institution. An Indianapolis organization is understood to have offered the city health board a donation of about $50,000 to aid in equipping the proposed out-patient unit at city hospital. A doctor, representing a group of public spirited citi-.ens, made the proposal to Mayor L. Ert Slack several weeks ago, according to City Hall reports. Slack conferred with Dr. William A. Doeppers, hospital superintendent Thursday, but neither would discuss the conference. It is likely that the $450,000 hospital power plant and another unit west of the present surgery building will be the first steps in the city hospital building program. The present research laboratory also will be expanded. AIMEE GETS SUBPENA IN CASE AGAINST JUDGE Evangelist Off to Canada as Cali- , foinia Probe Goes On. By United Press LOS ANGELES, Feb. I.—Aimee Semple McPherson was speeding north to further evangelical triumphs today while a special state assembly committee probed again into her victories of the past. The red-haired Salvationist ' was bound for Vancouver, Canada. She carried with her a subpoena demanding her appearance in Sacramento Feb. 21. The issuance of the order calling her to the state capital was considered certain proof that the assembly investigating committee already had heard sufficient evidence to recommend impeachment proceedings against Superior Judge Carlos Hardy. / Such proceedings, if followed, will be based on the assumption that the $2,500 check drawn to the jurist by Mrs. McPherson’s Angelus temple in 1926. was in return for legal services he rendered while he was sitting on the superior bench, a violation of the state code. OKLAHOMA GOVERNOR PLEADS BEFORE SENATE Not Guilty, Says Executive Who Faces Impeachment Trial. By United Press OKLAHOMA CITY, Feb. I.

4,000 ‘RUBBER’ CHECKS A DAY PASSEDIN U. S. Information Clearing House Formed by Bankers to Combat Forgers. BY W. F. SULLIVAN United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO. Feb. I.—Rubber checks, those elastic bits of paper that appear at least twice in the same place, .are bouncing around the country at a rapid pace, officials of the Illinois Bankers’ Assoiation warned today in discussing the clever devices used by forgers. The worthless paper ranges in amounts from “piker’s size” of $2 to $1,500 on the average, with occasional coups of the professionals for greater amounts. The Bankers’ Association here has established an information clearing house to aid in tracing the crooks who work both through banks and ousiness houses. ‘ 4,000 Bad Checks a Day “I would say that more than 4.000 fraudulent checks are written in the nation each* day,” H. C. Hausmann of the association’s information clearing house told the United Press. “We have about 300 each day in Chicago. The small fellows easily are traced but the professional rings are more clever and their work more difficult to detect.” Hausmann said plans of the professionals carefully are laid and their forgeries so clever that they pass through banks and are not detected for several days. “The 'higher ups’ in these rings direct the work,” he explained. “They don’t take the chance of getting caught at the banks. Often the ones who present the checks at the banks never have seen and do not know the identity of the ‘higher ups.’ Our most recent big check was for $30,000.” Annual Loss Millions The check “kiter” has come to be a rarity as the chance of detection in changing amounts is greater and has been abandoned by those who make a living in the “bad paper” business. “They simply buy presses and print duplicate checks.” Hausmann said. “Some do not even make any effort at for, —”• as business houses, especially the smaller ones, are impressed with neatly-printed cheats when the word ‘pay roll’ appears on the end. “These gangs open an account in a bank with real money and operate it for a time with good checks, making sizeable deposits and withdrawals. These transactions increase in size until they are ready to ‘spring’ the big one.” The annual loss through fradulent checks to banks and business houses was estimated between $50,000,000 and $60,000,000. CREDIT UNIVERSITY Valparaiso’s School Listed by State Board. Valparaiso university at Valparaiso, Ind., today was added to the list of fully accredited colleges for the training of teachers by the state board of education. This action comes after three years of reorganization of the famous educational institution by the Lutheran University Association. The association has spent more than $500,000 since its purchase of the college. The university at one time had several thousand students and was famous for its novel methods and cheap costs. It fell into misfortune during the war. At one tipie the KuKlux Klan proposed to purchase it and at one time the state was importuned to take it over. Under the Lutheran association a new faculty has been secured and new standards, now approved, established. At present the university has an enrollment of 400.

I.—The question of whether meat should be served to patrons of the country’s 125 Childs’ restaurants under their new management was the subject of considerable discussion today as a fight developed for control of the organization.
