HOUSE KILLS MOVIE CENSOR. DEATH BILLS Gets Act to Repeal Bridge Law; Prohibits Dogs on Fenders. Repeal of the 1927 Evansville bridge law is provided in one of eleven new bills introduced in the Indiana house of representatives today. The bill came from Representative Ed J. Bouchard of South Bend, who has lead the South Bend vanguard of legislators opposed to increasing state highway department revenues by the $5,000,000 or $6,000,000 asked by Director John D. Williams. In an hour-and-a-hali session preceding Washington birthday ceremonies, the house accepted a score of committee reports, killed the movie censorship bill and the measure to abolish capital punishment for first degree murder, and advanced numerous bills to engrossment. No Dogs‘on Fenders Two of the new bills affect motorists. One, by Representative John W. Scott of Gary, would require the secretary of state to issue, with license plates, a sealed metal holder tto be fastened to the instrument board of cars, and containing the registration slip so that it wouldl be visible from outside the car. One dollar would be charged for the holder. Motorists would be prohibited from carrying dogs on their fenders or running boards by provisions of a bill introduced by Representative William Fisher, of Anderson. Change Precinct Groups Holders of federal, state, county or municipal office of any sort would be prohibited from serving as precinct committeemen by a bill introduced by Representative Eii G. Huber of Evansville. Vacancies thus created would be filled at a meeting of the remaining members of the county committee, called by the county chairman, or on his refusal or failure to call the meeting, at a meeting called by 10 per cent of the precinct committeemen. Other new bills would give constables of justice of the peace courts the same rights in issuing writs-of replevin as are held by sheriffs and deputies; empower courts to alter judgment on their own Initiative where a civil action grows out of a clearly illegal act and judgment is erroneously entered; and permit the state highway commission, by resolution, to provide for the lighting of sections o fstate highways.

LASH STEWART IN OILBATTLE Broke Promise to Resign, Says John D. Aid. Bv United Press NEW YORK, Feb. 22.—The alleged promise which Colonel Robert W. Stewart made to John D. Rockefeller Jr. to resign the chairmanship of the Standard Oil Company of Indiana was the center of the latest skirmish today in the “battle of the proxies.” Thomas M. Debevoise, an associate of Rockefeller, made public a letter in which he said he was present at the time Stewart assured Rockefeller he would resign, at the request of either Rockefeller or the stockholders. “As I see the situation,” Debc-

voise's letter said, “we can grant the truth of all of Colonel Stewart's almost incredible story and still, on his own admissions, we must come to the conclusion that he had lost the right to our confidence in his leadership.” Rockefeller is seeking to remove Stewart from the chairmanship of Standard of Indiana because of the
