HOUSE ADOPTS AGE PENSIONS BILL REPORT First Straight Party Split Occurs as Democrats Out-Chorus G. 0. P. PLATFORM IS UPHELD Measure Would Give Dole of $25 to Indigent Persons Over 65. First straight party division in the Indiana house of representatives occurred today when the topheavy Democratic majority there outchorused the Republican minority to adopt a majority committee report favoring passage of the old age pension bill. Reading the music written in the Democratic state platform favoring old age pensions, the seventy-five representatives of that party drowned out Republican efforts to recommit the pension measure to the house committee on ways and means. First sign of the division on party lines came with the divided report of the committee on county and township business which, Tuesday, held a hearing on the old age pension bill, sponsored by the Fraternal Order of Eagles and supported by organized labor. Signed by 10 Democrats To aged, indigent persons of 65 years or more, the measure would allow pensions of not exceeding $25 monthly, counties and the state to share the cost equally. Ten Democratic members of the committee signed the report favoring passage. The three Republican committeemen signed the report advising recommitment of the bill to ways and means. Representative Frank Finney i Dem., Morgan), committee, chairman, argued the bill belonged to his committee because it contained no appropriation provision. Representative Delph L. McKesson (Dem., Marshall) and Representative William J. Black (Dem., Madison) supported this view. For the minority, Representative Horace R. Stauffer (Rep., Elkhart) argued the \*|iys and means committee should consider the bill because it would call for expenditure of state money. Republicans Are Silent On proposal for substitution of the minority report for the majority report. Republicans, on the right side of the house, lifted their voices in a chorus of “ayes.” But they were drowned out by the "noes” of their Democratic opponents at the left. , Then after the Democratic side gave vociferous approval to adoption of the majority report, favoring passage, not a Republican was heard in opposition, and the G. O. P. kept from being flatly on record as opposed to passage. A senate bill, carrying the same pension provisions, except for an amendment which advanced the qualifying age from 65 to 70 years, was to have been handed down for second reading and amendment today. But Senator Walter S. Chambers Dem., Hancock. Henry and Madison), one of its authors, was absent, and Senator James J. Nejdl -(Rep.. Lake), co-author, was unwilling to call the measure down in Chamber's absence. CHINESE SMUGGLES OPIUM IN SKELETON Wily Oriental Uses Father’s Bones in Illicit Drug Trade.

Storm Stilled Up Over Red Necktie Tax Bill By United Press . A TLANTA, Ga.. Jan. 21.—A sense of humor is the greatest need -tV of the American people today, Miss Bessie Kempton. Georgia state representative from Atlanta, said today after reading a heavy batch of mail from all over the country. The mail poured in from every’ section, commenting on Miss Kempton’s resolution to levy’ a tax of $1 a day upon wearers of "red neckties, varigated sox, decorated or colored ‘shorts’ or stockings with runs’ in them.” A fashion editor in Canada wants it clarified; wants Miss Kempton to elaborate on her original statement. An elderly gentleman of St. Louis, Mo wrote asking, “Who is going to be inspector of colored shorts,” incidentally asking, “What are the people of Georgia thinking about representatives wasting their time and the state’s money in such fashion.” A Philadelphia lawyer sent a check for sl. saying; “Unfortunately, I was caught in the position this morning of wearing a red necktie.” Two Michigan State college students' at East Lansing wrote applying for the job of “red necktie inspectors.” The main purpose of the resolution is “to show how ridiculous some of the serious revenue bills introduced at this special session are," Miss Kempton said.

INDIANAPOLIS, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 21, 1931

LESLIE WANTS BOOST IN FUND TO RUN OFFICE Request for $3,000 Bigger Appropriation Amazes Legislature Leaders. SLASH IS THREATENED Wants $245,000 Voted to Him for Use in Next Two Years. Governor Harry G. Leslie wants his appropriation for the next two years to be $245 000 annually, an increase of $3,000. He has sent word t <y the state budget committee that the $242,000 allowed him the last two years is insufficient. , Despite the storm of criticism and protest which arose over the state last year against the Governor’s being allowed a $200,000 annual emergency contingent fund, Leslie has asked that the state continue giving him this amount without any strings tied to it, and which he may spend at his discretion. Amazed by Request Leaders of both houses were amazed today by the Governor’s request and declared that the appropriation would be slashed. Unlimited control of the $200,000 annual contingent fund by Leslie has aroused protest everywhere. Evidence of extravagance was shown, it was charged, through an investigation of the fund by The Times, which revealed that Leslie had spent $19,000 of the emergency money to refurnish his mansion. The state grants the Governor SIO,OOO annually for the maintenance of the mansion, while preceding governors wefe given but $2,400 a year. Never Published Figures When the results of The Times investigation were published Leslie declared he would have his expenditures audited and published. The board of accountants checked the emergency fund and supported The Times’ disclosures, but the Governor never explained what he does with the SIO,OOO. It was recalled today that although Republican senators in 1929 were loath to raise the emergency fund from SBO,OOO granted preceding governors to the $200,000 Leslie demanded; and to boost the maintenance fund from $2,400 to SIO,OOO, they nevertheless acceded to the executive’s demands. But instead of Senator Denver Harlan (Wayne), Republican floor leader leading the fight for the increased amounts, Senator Earl Rowley ( Rep., Laporte and Starke), then friendly to Leslie, engineered the move. Rowley Turns Insurgent Today Rowley is an insurgent and unfriendly to the Governor and the senate Republicans feel that Leslie’s alleged indiscretion in his expenditures reflect upon their party, while the Democratic house members campaigned on the contingent fund expenditures and naturally will refuse to aid in the passage of the large appropriations, it was pointed out. Leslie’s budget report shows that $79,050.80 was used out of the emergency fund in the 1928-1929 fiscal year, and $160,328.03 in the last fiscal year. Lieutenant-Governor Edgar D. Bush informed the budget committee that it was not necessary for it to grant him a SSOO contingent fund again, as he did not spend the 1929 appropriation and returned it to the general fund. REVOLT CAUSE IS SSEEN Prohibition Has Necessary Seeds for Civil War, Says Professor. By United Press ST.

Mix Suit Is Appealed NATCHEZ, Miss., Jan. 21.—An appeal to the state Supreme court was on file today in the damage suit for $50,000 brought against Tom Mix, movie cowboy, by Zack T. Miller, owner of the 101 Ranch shows. Chancellor R. W. Cutrer dismissed the suit Tuesday, riding that both sides must pay the cost of court.

GIRL SLAIN IN ROW ON ‘DATE’ Three Held in Louisville Killing of State Woman. By United Press LOUISVILLE, Ky., Jan. 21.—Miss Mildred Meyer, 23, who lived on Indiana state Road 62, near New Albany, Ind., was murdered at 2:30 a. m. today on the front porch of a house here. When patrolmen arrived, a man giving his name as George McCasland, Jeffersonville, Ind., said to be a former prize fighter, who was the girl’s companion, was holding her in his arms. He was charged with the murder after making denials to police. She was shot in the face when her companion knocked on the door, police were told. The bullet came out at the back of her head. She died on the way to a hospital. Two other men, Donald Huck and Irvin Heath, residents of the apartment, were slated as accessories. Donald Huck is the son of Mrs. Winnifred Sprague Mason Huck. first congresswoman from Illinois, prominent socially in Chicago, and a writer and pacifist. Gorden Keith is the son of W. L. Keith, an official of the Automatic Canteen Company of Chicago, for which both men acted as representatives in Kentucky and southern Indiana. A quarrel between McCasland and Miss Meyer over a “date” she had with Huck was alleged by police to have precipitated the trouble which ended in the murder.

DAISY'S TRIAL ENDING Arguments of Attorneys Are Being Heard. By United Press LOS ANGELES, Jan. 21. The grand theft trial of Daisy De Voe reached its final stages today with Clara Bow, the actress, pictured by the prosecution as “an artist with i no business sense,” and Miss De Voe ; as “a girl who betrayed a trust.” ' The comparison was drawn in the I argument of Dave Clark, district at- | tomey, to the jury of seven men | and five women after the final wit- ! nesses were heard late Tuesday. Miss De Voe was charged with stealing money, jewels and clothing from Miss Bow during the two years she was the actress’ secretary. “Miss Bow was no business woman,” Clark said. “She did not pretend to be one. She is an actj ress. That is why she wanted some , one to take this burden off of her , hands. You may think her foolish, , but as I have said before, Miss Bow 1 does not pretend to be a business woman. She is simply an artist.” TIPTON MINISTER DIES Pastor Succumbs to Brief Illness at Hospital Here. The Rev. John C. White. 66, of j Tipton, died today in Methodist | hospital after a short illness.

HUGHES WITHDRAWS AS JUDGE ON WET APPEAL

Leaves Field Open for Speculation on Clark Ruling Case. By United Press WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.—Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes today wilthdrew from the supreme court bench pending arguments of the government’s appeal from the ruling of Federal Judge William Clark of Newark that the eighteenth amendment improperly was written into the Constitution. Hughes gave as his reason the fact that he was an attorney in the so-called national prohibition cases from Rhode Island argued in 1920, when the courts upheld the amendment ana the Volstead act. Speculation Is Wider Hughes’ withdrawal leaves the field open for wider speculation involving the court’s lineup on the decision. An evenly divided 4-4 decision becomes a possibility, and this, some legal authorities believe, would allow Judge Clark’s ruling to stand. Attorneys for each side were given two hours for argument. This is twice the usual time allowed. Few believed Judge Clark would be sustained. Many thought the court would not even write an opinion giving the reasons for overruling him but would dispose of the case within a week by a brief “per curiam” decision. In a “per curiam” decision the court simply would hand down a terse finding that the appeal was overruled or*sustained on the basis of past supreme court decisions.” Others believed the court would write an opinion correcting what many consider a shortcoming in the so-called Rhode Island decision. People's Rights Defended In the Rhode Island case, argued in the same marble chamber almost eleven years ago, there were four of the same justices who were sitting today. Five justices who sat then have keen replaced. x Those remaining are Justices Oliver Wendell Holmes, Louis D. Brandeis, James C. Mcßeynolds and Willis Van Devanter. Van Devanter wrote the Rhode Island opinion sustaining the amendment and the Volstead act. Counsel for the New York lawyers who banded together several months ago to test the validity of the prohibition "amendment were relying on the contention of Judge Clark that only state conventions properly could adopt an amendment such as the eighteenth. This amendment, they contend, took rights from the people and gave them to the federal government. They quote extensively from history and literature, as did Judge Clark.

Differences in opinions have led to contrasted styles of apparel for girl athletes of Shortridge and Washington high schools. At Washington the girls, shown at the left, dress in shorts for their comfort and athletic activities, while girls at Shortridge are garbed in full-length stockings that itch.

Shortridge high school who have to wear them. Instead of a Prince Charming, it is the King of Trouble, purported false modesty, that presumably has provoked the climax in this tale of the stockings. And all because these queens of sport at Shortridge are forced to appear on the basketball floor arrayed as no other feminine followers of “court” are forced to do. Not in the annals of Hoosier basketball has so “ancient” a custom been adopted, it is contended. Not even in the Olympian games, that most notable of Panhellenic festivals, did athletes appear in such garb. The bright blue Shortridge stockings may be justified though for that is one way of advertising the school colors without flying them from a flagstaff. And what is a little comfort when the school’s name can be broadened?

CUT AID FRDM GASTAX BILL Poor Relief Provisions Are Taken From Measure. Amendments providing for use of the cities, counties and towns share of the state gasoline tax for poor relief, were stricken out of the senate bill today and the bill went to second reading in its original form. : rhis provides that the some $3,600,000 be distributed to the local governmental units on Feb. 1, instead of March 1, as customary. The measure was introduced in the senate as part of the unemployed relief program of the special senate committee and already has undergone ten hours of debate. Several attempts to postpone indefinitely the bill failed today, and the senate recessed at noon until 2 p. m. COURT ENTRY URGED Root Asks Senate Group to Approve Adherence. By United Press WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.—Elihu Root, one of the framers of the world court and author of the revised protocol for American adherence, appeared today before the senate foreign relations committee to urge acceptance of the final formula for United States entry. Root said the fifth reservation tended to create “difficulties which would hamper and delay” procedure of the court, “throwing doubt upon its proceedings.”

Two Slain When Gunmen Break In on Card Party By United Press LONG BEACH, Cal., Jan. 21—An attempt by Carlyle Lord, 59, to defend his home and guests cost him his life, but before he died he fatally wounded one of three gunmen who interrupted his card party. Lord was playing cards with his daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Paul Lassen, and his neighbor. Harlow’ Hufflne. when the gunmen forced their way into his home Tuesday night. Police believe the men were hijackers who entered the wrong house. “Does Otto lipre here?” one of the gunmen demanded cd Lord, after knocking at his door. * Lord told him no one by that name lived there. The intruder drew a gun and forced the card players to line up against a wall. Lord darted from the room, secured a revolver and re-entered, shooting. One man dropped to the floor, but as he died he returned Lord’s fire, shooting the home owner as Lord wounded a second member of the trio. The third man carried his wounded companion to an automobile and escaped. R. R. Brown, 40, and Charles Moe were arrested a short time later when Moe took Brown, critically wounded to a hospital. Moe said Brown had been wounded when held up. The slain was not identified.

Any well-governed pupil should willingly make such sacrifice, the demagogues teach. Silk might be used, it Is suggested, and curb the complaints of the players, for where is the girl that doesn’t dote on silks and satins? But at Shortridge regulations are that the stockings shall be of wool, as w’oolen as any of the shawls that grandmother used to knit. Wool, if a true fabric, is irksome to wear—it scratches. The Shortridge girls testify further, that when one is playing hard, the stockings itch. This “itching sensatiofi” is both distractive to thought and conducive to a poor game, it is alleged. But even though all other schools may adopt other styles, it seems Shortridge must be different. Fads will not change and the “Tale of the Stockings” continues to be a tale of woe.

CHUCK WIGGINS IS JAILED AGAIN Police Accuse Pugilist of Unscheduled Bout. The welcome sign was out at city prison today heralding another hegira of penance by Chuck Wiggins, 31, heavyweight pugilist, after alleged overtraining on gin led to private and unpromoted warfare in a downtown hotel early this morning. The “one-man riot” expressed opinions not highly flattering to one Morris (Sailor) Cohen, 28, Edwards hotel, and enforced those ideas with his maul-like fists, police declare. The seaman did a little punishing on his own account before an emergency squad, and two motor police teams quelled the ruckus. Chuck is charged with drunkenness and assault and battery, and Cohen with assault and battery. WIFE SHOOTS Ex-Secretary Stole Love of Husband, She Says.

SENATE QUIZ DEMANDED ON j RUM REPORT i ; Senator Tydings Asks That Wickersham Be Called to Explain. PUZZLED BY CONFLICTS Hint Last-Minute Ban on Modification Due to Hoover Edict. BY RAYMOND CLAPPEB United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Jan 21.-A mo\e was made in congress today to clear the mysteries involved in the seeming conflict between the anti-repeal recommendation of the Wickersham report, and the individual reports oi commissioners taking widely opposite stands. The congressional stej>—a resolution fostered by Senator Mtllara E Tydings )Dem., Md.), for investigation of the commission’s process in reaching conclusions—followed closely upon publication of a United Press story quoting a high official source as confirming that President Hoover had intervened at the last moment to induce aleration of an immediate revision recommendation in the report. Want Wickersham Quizzed This story met denial from Chairman Wickersham of the commission today, and silence at the White House. Wickersham refused to explain the fact that some of the separate reports referred to a recommendation in the general report for immediate revision—a recommendation not actually contained in the published version. The White House was equally reticent. Newspapermen ' seeking elucidation from a commissioner were given at the commission headquarters an explanation which they encountered with the suggestion it did not explain. They were thereupon greeted with the comment, “imbeciles” as the commissioner stalked from the conference room. Tyding’s resolution would authorize the senate judiciary committee to summon Chairman Wickersham to testify regarding the report, and particularly whether sugggestions were received and acted on by the commission from persons who w*ere not members of it. Congressmen Confused 1 The senator explained the recom--1 mendations of the commission were so confused that they puzzled members of congress who might be called on to base legislation upon the re- ; port. Judge William I. Grubb, in his ; separate report, said he concurred I in all of the commission’s conclusions “except that recommending i that the amendment be revised imI mediately without waiting further I trial.” Judge Paul J. McCormick also I dissented, using almost identical I language. However, the commissions report as it finally appeared made no such recommendation either for action now or at any other* time. It merely suggested that “if” anything is done the amendment should be revised to permit congress to regulate as well as prohibit the liquor traffic. Explains Discrepancies An authoritative source, close to the President informed the United Press the discrepancies resulted when the commission changed an original intention to recommend revision of the eighteenth amendment, after discussions between Mr. Hoover and Chairman Wickersham. “Tile commission has refused to explain the mysterious delay whien . occurred between Jan. 7, the date signed to the report, and to all separate statements and Jan. 19, the date on which it was sent to the President.
