Holmes, in reply to queries, after it was learned the organization refused to support him, declared he would “fight to win.” Informed Committeemen “Sure, I’m sore,” he said. “Why not? After all the years I devoted to the game and even took the time to counsel and help the organization, I think there should be some move in my favor. “In pure and simple English, I’ve been thrown over.” Holmes immediately sent letters to precinct committeemen informing them of the situation. Holmes’ letters, said, in part: “I have declared myself as favoring modification of the prohibition law. Leaders of the Republican organization lack the courage to face this issue and will attempt to prevail upon all precinct workers to work for the ‘organization slate’ which will not bear my name. “I believe the organization should

While not minimizing the possible effect of Holmes’ revolt, Republican leaders express the belief that if Holmes fails to win the nomination he will be found working for the ticket in the fall election, regardless of Marion county leadership.

LESLIE PRAISES I STATE TAX LAW AT CONFERENCE Public Saved $80,000,000 in Eight Years, Governor Tells Delegates. Bu Times Special WASHINGTON, May I.—Governor Harry G. Leslie highly recommended the Indiana thx law as involving the best principles of both state control and “home rule” in addressing the state Chambers of Commerce convention here Wednesday night. “During the eight years this law has been in operation in our state,” he told the Chamber of Commerce

mfen, “there Tave been reductions in proposed bond issues and local tax levies by the tax commission of approximately $60,000,000. “But the greatetst value of this law to our people has been through its intangible or indirect influence by reason of its existence as a deterrent to extravagant practices. I believe it to have saved in this respect many times more than the $80,000,000. “I believe the Indiana plan of state control over local expenditures, more than any other, realizes and exemplifies the practical operation of the principle of home rule in the control of local budgets, tax levies and bond issues.”

PARLEY BRINGS NEW CRUISERS Ships Will Meet America’s Needs and Keep Pact. BY LYLE C. WILSON United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, May I.—Design of anew type cruiser to meet peculiar American requirements withi out violating the London naval

treaty apparently is destined to follow ratification of the treaty by the senate. The new type would approximate the 10,000 tons of America's present largest modern cruisers, but would substitute six-inch guns for eightinch guns in the main battery. This is permitted by the treaty. Cruiser clauses of the treaty will figure prominently in committee hearings and debate on the document, it was learned. From the time of the Washington arms conference until the London conference, the United States insisted its naval requirements could be met only by 10.000 cruisers mounting eight-inch guns. American diplomats and naval ex-

perts believe far-flung American possessions forbade American dependence upon smaller cruisers because the United States lacked sufficient naval bases to service them on long voyages. Chairman Borah of the senate foreign affairs committee announced after a conference with Secretary of State Stimson Wednesday night that the treaty would be considered promptly but thoroughly when it reaches the senate. He said that those wishing to be heard by the committee would be allowed that privilege. The people of the Middle Ages believed that certain words possessed magical powers.
