DRY LEAGUE IS DEALT BITTER DOSEINHOUSE Move to Get Huge Sum for Prohibition Smothered in Test Vote. BY RAY TUCKER Times Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-Herbert Hoover apparently will have a tree hand in attacking the prohibition problem when he becomes president, but he also will have a tremendous Job in satisfying the drys. Asa result of the test vote in the house, leaders predicted today that the deficiency bill would go to the White House bare of senate amendments appropriating an additional $24,250,000 for prohibition investigation and enforcement. Hoover and Coolidge forces, AntiSaloon League spokesmen and A1 Smith Democrats from New York stood solidly arrayed against the demand of southern Democrats and organized dry leaders for the immediate appropriation. The vote on the previous question, which operated to shut off Democratic attempts to prolong the debate, was 240 to 141, showing the administration in control of its forces. Representative Wood of Indiana, chairman of the appropriations oommittee; Cramton of Michigan, and Byrns, of Tennessee, ranking Democratic member of appropriations, were named as conferees. Disagreement Seen The difference between house and senate bills still must be ironed out in conference, and a temporary disagreement is predicted. But the administration forces count on getting the senate to recede from its amendments designed to embarrass Coolidge, Secretary Mellon and Hoover. It was said the house never would surrender. In the group that defended Mellon’s position were men holding such diverse views as Cramton of Michigan, an AntiSaloon Leaf, . spokesman; Newton of Minnesota, a personal friend of Hoover; and Representative Black of New York, a follower of the recent Democrailc presidential nominee. Sitting in the gallery and taking notes on the debate, sallies and laughter at his expense, was Dr. F. Scott Mcßride, general superintendent of the Anti-Saloon league. “I don’t know who this doctor is," said one speaker, “but he has a lot of sick patients on his hands today.” Mcßride Gets Ha-Ha A man sitting near the dry general laughed so uproariously at this taunt that he almost knocked Dr. Mcßride's black notebook out of his hands. But the league representative displayed no bitterness or emotion during the battle, devoting himself chiefly to making a record of how his drys acted. Mcßride leaned forward with his chin cupped in his hand when such extreme prohibitionists as Cramton and Hudson of M ! chigan voiced their determination to stand by Mellon. But they quickly reassured him their defiance of the ,eague was

TILE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

SEVERAL CASES OF RADIO GRIEF AREJIEVEALED Trouble Traced to Source by Interference Man of Times. Fans around Maryland street and Traub avenue have been having plenty of radio grief for the last two weeks. The interference man made a check Wednesday at about 5 p. m. and all was clear, but as the street lights came on they made radio reception impossible. The checking of the light company’s lines will be made and this report given *to the Indianapolis Power and Light Company, as to nature of the trouble. The street light at Fortieth and Illinois streets also is causing a great many radio users trouble after the arc lights are turned on every evening. Other lights have been checked at different corners, but they are not broadcasting as this one is. This interference is not broadcasting over a city block at the most, but the radio users who live in this section can not have clear reception while this is on. Interference that fans are receiving around Fiftieth to Fifty-fourth streets on Winthrop avenue is the same as the fans are getting on Forty-ninth street from Keystone to College avenue. This section has been checked many times and every time it checks to the station at Forty-ninth street and Keystone avenue. The lines run west along Fortyninth street and other lines cross under this power line. It would be very easy for the cross lines to rebroadcast this trouble, as both have been checked and found to be the same type of trouble. The power ana light company will be notified and will take care of this at once, as they have aided The Times in many cases in clearing different cases by lending men and equipment. After three nights of testing in the section bounded by Thirtyfourth street on the south, Thirtyeighth street on the north, Sherman drive on the west, and Emerson avenue on the east, The Times interference man found several cases of trouble the fans have been hearing on the radios for the last two weeks. Next step is to clear up these cases and give the public good radio reception and the greatest part of the work is after the trouble has been found, making the recheck with the person or persons at fault. In some cases it has been found that the interference on a line is not being made by that company, but is being rebroadcast by that line from another source. In this case it takes time to trace the trouble to its base and notify the ones who are at fault. Os the three cases found in this section, two have been traced to the base of the trouble, but the third has not been named as yet. But it is the lowest in volume of all three. The Times interference maruhopes to have this section cleared In the next week, so fans can enjoy radio reception. In the building of a railway line in French Equatorial Africa, 17,000 Negro laborers have died from disease, privation and exposure.

All in a Day Gets Divorce From One Wife and Quickly Weds Another.

WILLIAM H. DAVIS’ marital batting average Thursday was .500. He lost one and gained one. Shortly before noon Davis, who lives at 907 East Twenty-fifth street, was granted a divorce from Mrs. Trilby Davis on default by George A. Henry, pro tem. judge in superior court two. His suit alleged that Mrs. Davis deserted him in 1925 and established her residence at 2935 Baltimore avenue. Three hours later, clerk’s office attaches were dashing about the courthouse seeking the records of Davis* brand-new divorce to enter them on his marriage license application. He obtained a license to wed Mary D. Somerville, 38, of 626 Massachusetts avenue. Davis is 35.

HEAT SERVICE CHANGESOUGHT Power Company Would Install Steam System. Patrons receiving heating service from the Sixteenth and Alabama street power house will meet at 8 Saturday night to discuss the Indianapolis Power and Light Company proposal that steam heat b£ substituted for the hot water system. Leo M. Rappaport, attorney, said the executive committe of the patrons’ organization would consider the proposal of Norman A. Perry, Indianapolis Power and Light Company president. The suggestion came as an amendment to the petition of the power and light company to abandon the Sixteenth street plant, because it is unremunerative and antiquated. The proposal was made in event the public service commission should hold that the company must furnish a heating service in event the plant is abandoned. Heat from the Mill street plant would be guaranteed for the 1929-30 season. The rate schedule proposed is identical with the downtown service. Under the plan, the company would replace pipes now used for hot water with new lines for steam heat, patrons being required to install a two-pipe system in their homes.
