LEGISLATORS I TO OPEN QUIZ ON ROAD FUND First Session of Probe on Federal Aid Failure Set for Tonight. Probe of the Indiana state highuar department’s failure to collect more than $3,500,000 in federal aid set under way tonight in the supreme court chambers, it was announced today by Senator Charles L. Strey <Rep., Wabash and Kosciusko). The meetings will not be public, but the press will be admitted, strey declared. In the preliminary investigation employes will be present and records of the commission's showing, the senator asserted. Strey also announced he will call United States highway engineers to appear before the commission to testify regarding alleged attempts of Commissioner Jess Murden (Rep., Peru) to influence them by political pressure from Washington. Bosh-Leslie Split Widens This charge is included in the resolution providing for the federal aid failure investigation. The resolution was presented in the senate by Strey, and Lieutenant-Governor Edgar D. Bush made him chairman of the committee charged with the investigation. This emphasized the complete split between Bush and Governor Harry G. Leslie. The latter is particularly sensitive regarding criticism of the highway commission and takes all legislative probes as an affront. "If the legislature wants to run the administration, I suppose it has a right to do so, but I don’t think it’s the legislators’ affair,” the Governor declared Monday. Brown Lauds Department Director John J. Brown of the state highway department declared that he is prepared to show that federal aid has been dealt with more efficiently during the last fiscal year than at any other time in department history. He urged that all meetings be given widespread publicity in the press. Meanwhile new criticism was launched against the department today by discharge Saturday of several long time employes in the motor transport department. A. H. Hinkle, maintenance superintendent, under whom this department functions, explained that it was done for “efficiency” and to keep down the budget. The maintenance department has a treasury balance of $3,000,000. Others to Be Laid Off But more men have been ordered firgd next week, according to Omer Manlove, garage superintendent. He attributes this to lack of work, due to new equipment and more repairing being done at Ft. Wayne and other places. Dr. John W. Hewitt, secretary of Governor Leslie’s unemployment committee, offered the comment that while he didn't know about the efficiency or facts, it was a poor time to lay off men if it is at all possible to retain them. EIGHT PERSONS SHOT AS TWO FIGHT GUN DUEL 25-Cenl Debt Causes Battle at Door of Sclxoolhouse. By United Press CHICAGO, Jan. 27.—Two ,17-year-old Negro boys fought a pistol duel over a 25-cent debt at a schoolhouse door late Monday and eight persons, seven of them students leaving the school, were struck by bullets that went wild. Police said the battle was the result of a knife duel a week ago between Rhoney Parks and Lawrence Rufus. That fight, they said, was the result of Parks’ claim that Rufus owed him 25 cents. Parks was leaving Wendell Phillips high school with other students when Rufus, who doesn’t go to school, and who was waiting outside, began firing. Parks returned the fire. Parks was hit in the left side and Rufus in the arm as screaming students fell about them. Jvjj ~ - In the Air Weather conditions in the air at 9 a. m.: .

Veteran 4 Con ’ Game Foe Probing Faro Swindle

By United Press CHICAGO, Jail. 27.—Names of the three men who obtained $50,000 from Mrs. Myrtle Tanner Blacklidge in a faro game at Springfield are known to police, it was claimed today by Lieutenant Frank Johnson, in charge of an investigation of the game. Johnson Is a veteran in the work of solving confidence game cases. For twenty-nve years he has studied closely the pictures of every man arrested on any kind of a swindle charge, and it has been said he can recognize, on sight more professional confidence men than any policeman in the world. He also kftows, without looking up records, just the kind of schemes most of the hundreds of confidence men in the country have worked most frequently. The detective said photographs of one of the men have been identified, presumably by Fred Litsinger, nephew of Edward R. Litsinger, member of the board of review. Fred Litsinger was with Mrs. Blacklidge when $50,000 lent her by Edward Litsinger disappeared at Springfield. Mrs. Blacklidge. who resigned Saturday as collector of internal revenue, claims the money was lost at faro. Litsinger claims he was robbed and has charged publicly that Mrs. Blacklidge was a party to the robbery, obtaining the $50,000 loan by a false story and luring Fred Litsinger into the hands of the men who escaped with the money.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

G.O.P. FAVORS REVAMPING OLD TAXATION LAWS Policy Apparently Opposed to New Plans Like Sales and Income Levies. That the Republican legislators j will follow the administration view outlined by Governor Harry G. Leslie and try to patch up old taxation machinery, rather than adopt new forms such as income or sales taxes, appeared likely today. This conclusion was given considerable support by the conduct of Republican senators at the session Monday afternoon. While the Democratic majority in the house was busy Introducing its income tax measure, the senate recessed to rush through several committee reports designed to counteract such a measure. Relief Measures Approved Upon reconvening they reported favorably from judiciary B committee the three Lindley bills providing for a moratorium and amortization of real estate taxation sales and delinquencies and forbidding deduction of 1931 tax collections if sales are made. The Hartzell bill putting all tax exempt fraternal property back on the duplicate also was returned from judiciary C, with a favorable report. It had been introduced just before the afternoon recess and immediately was passed on by the committee of which Senator French Clements (Rep.. Vanderburg), is chairman. Pass Mortgage Bill Fraternity and sorority homes would continue to be exempt under terms of the lodge tax bill, asserts Philip Zoercher, member of the state tax board, calling attention to supreme court decision several years ago which held fraternity homes are used for educational purposes and are under supervision of educational institutions. Senator Lee J. Hartzell (Rep., Allen and Noble), author of the bill and Republican floor leader, had been insistent that the senate recess and not adjourn before these committee reports were returned. He was aided in this move by Lieu-tenant-Governor Edgar D. Bush, who admits he is not going to let the Democrats across the hall 6teal any of the tax relief thunder if he can help it. Hart2iell contends that his bill restoring exempt fraternal property will mean putting an additional $175,000,000 on the tax duplicate, Suggested by Democrat The idea, however, first was suggested in the senate by Senator Walter S. Chambers (Dem., Hancock, Henry and Madison), minority floor leader, in telling where the money might be obtained for support of the old-age pension measure which he favors. The Lindley bills would halt all tax sales of real estate scheduled for Feb. 9 and put them off for one year with four years to meet the delinquent payments. This applies to Barrett assessments as well as general levies. Should two of the bills with this provision fail, a third provides that taxes collectable in 1931 shall not be deducted in making the tax sales on real estate.

Exempt Frat Homes Besides having the income tax measure presented, house members Monday afternoon passed a bill raising mortgage exemptions for taxation purposes from the present SI,OOO to $1,300 and ret -ealed the law exempting the Jeffersonville bridge from taxation. Representative Delph L. McKesson, majority floor leader of the house, championed the mortgage exemption bill, of which he is author. “We in Indiana encourage people to buy homes and then penalize them by forcing them to pay taxes on something they don’t own,” he declared. “This measure is designed to relieve to some extent the burden on the poor man who wants to own a home.” Representative J. Prank Smith (Rep., Tippecanoe) said the bill would clip $1,800,000 off the tax duplicate. The state tax board estimated $60,000,000 would to removed from the tax list by the bill. Passed 80 to 14, it was sent to the senate. WOMAN HURT BY AUTO Mrs. Lucinda Thompson, 71. Walks Into Side of Moving Car. Walking into the side of an automobile, Mrs. Lucinda Thompson, 71, of 2916 Highland avenue, suffered serious injuries today. The car was driven by Keith Hinton of Franklin, who was not held. Mrs. Thompson was taken to city hospital. SHERIFF IN HOSPITAL Sumner Under Observation and May Face Operation. Sheriff Charles (Buck) Sumner is in Methodist hospital under observation today. Physicians say he may have to undergo an operation for hernia, from which he has been suffering for several months. He went to the hospital Monday afternoon.

Hemorrhoid Sufferers End Your Piles Without Salves or Cutting. External treatments can not permanently end Piles. Nor do they remove the cause. The cause is internal —bad circulation of the blood in the 1 lower bowel. The veins are flabby—the bowel walls weak —the parts almost dead. To quickly and safely rid yourself of piles an Internal medicine must be used to heal and strengthen the affected parts. Dr. J S. Leonbardt, a specialist, after years of study discovered a real internal Pile remedy. He named his prescription HEM-ROID. and prescribed It for 1,000 patients, with the marvelous record of success In 960 cases, and then decided every Pile sufferer should be able to get HEM-ROID from their own druggist. DoD't waste time on external remedies or think of the pain and expense of an operation until you have tried HEM-ROID. Hook Drug Stores will supply you and guarantee money-back if it does not end all Pile misery.—Advertisement.

Faith ! Co-Ed’s Letters Keep Gin Murder Suspect From 'Going Bats/

By United Press VALPARAISO, Ind., Jan. 27. Dally letters from a prominent co-ed in an Ohio college and visits from his mother, are all that keep him from "going bats” in his Jail cell these long winter nights, Virgil Kirkland, Gary youth charged with the murder of his girl friend at a gin party, said today. Kirkland’s correspondence with the co-ed, whose identity he shielded, was revealed when guards searched his cell and found the letters, smuggled by a friend. “I met her in Gary last year,” Kirkland said, “and we both fell head over heels in love. Anyway, I felt that way. And the way she has stuck by me in this terrible affair shows she must like me pretty welD “She has promised to come and testify for me when my trial is called sometime next month, even though I told her not to. Her folks are very prominent and she is high in sorority circles, too. “It is this faith and comfort, and the sight of my mother which keeps me from going to pieces. The days aren’t so bad—but the terrible long, cold nights! They almost drive me crazy.” a a a KIRKLAND clenched his fists and shook his head as he said this. He reiterated his statement that he was not guilty of the death of Arlene Draves, 18-year-old high school girl, with whom he went to the gin party. “Arlene knew I liked her well, but didn’t love her,” Kirkland said, “she knew about my other girl. “And I say again, that while we had what some people call a ‘wild time’ at the party, it was just like almost every -other party that is held nowadays. “If Arlene hadn’t died there would be nothing said about it.” Kirkland said that for two months preceding the fatal gin party, he had kept company with the Ohio co-ed, and never had touched liquor when with her. “I loved her and didn’t drink when with her, because she didn’t like it. That was enough reason for me,” he said. ana THE state has indicated it will demand the death penalty for Kirkland, who it accuses beat Miss Draves, attacked her and then called four of his friends to join him. The four now are in jail at Crown Point awaiting trial on a similar charge. Kirkland’s attorneys obtained a change of venue to Valparaiso. The court meets here Feb. 2, when his trial date will be set: It is expected to be made for Monday. Feb. 9. Barratt O’Hara, former lieuten-ant-Governor of Illinois and chief counsel for Kirkland, said he would blame prohibition and its “consequences” for the gin party and its fateful sequence.

I BILL TO MOVE I WOMAN PRISON IS SIDETRACKED i Indefinite Postponement Report Is Adopted by House. Effort on the floor of the house today to force removal of the Indiana women’s prison from Randolph and New York streets to a rural site lost by an overwhelming vote as the ways and means committee majority recommendation of indefinite postponement was accepted. Branding the present institution a fire trap, Representative E. Curtis White (Dem., Marion), had moved to substitute for the majority report a minority recommendation signed by Representatives Albert Walsman (Dem., Marion), Charles Y. Poster (Rep., Hamilton), Martin T. Krueger (Dem., LaPorte), and John D. T. Bold (Dem., Vanderburgh). Plan New Battle With hope gone for intervention of the house, proponents of the removal bill probably will urge Representative Russell Dean (Dem., Marion), its author, to introduce anew measure calling for an appropriation of only $12,000. The measure blocked today carried an appropriation of $320,000 for the purchase of a site and erection of new buildings. Though unanimous in executive session that the $320,000 appropriation is far too large, members of the ways and means committee also agreed on the necessity of removal and indicated they would look with favor on another bill with a small appropriation as a definite step toward pacifying east side residents who long have fought for removal of the institution. Samuel Harrig, secretary of the East New York Street Civic League, pointed out to the committee the danger of a recurrence here of the Ohio penitentiary fire disaster. He declared he has been advised by the state fire marshal that the women’s prison is a fire trap of the worst type and that it is likely in event of fire that all of the inmates would bu-n to death. Prison Is Overcrowded He declared the prison always is crowded and that while 144 is the theoretical capacity, there are now 198 prisoners and on some occasions as many as 230 women quartered there. Representative Russell Dean (Dem., Marion) appeared before the committee as author of. the bill and drew a laugh when questioned on the $320,000 figure of the original bill. “What’s the basis for your $320,000 figure?” asked Representative Albert Walsman (Dem., Marion). “I’ve no idea of the cost of removal —the $320,000 figure Just

popped into my head," Dean naively confessed. The committee also stood firm in its decision last week to recommend for indefinite postponement the bill asking for a $150,000 appropriation for Mars Hill airport, obdurate to the plea of Major Richard F. Taylor, commanding officer of the One hundred thirteenth observation squadron, Indiana national guard. Major Taylor warned the committee Indianapolis would lose the squadron to Louisville unless the appropriation is voted. The flight commander declared the squadron can not obtain any more government equipment unless the Mars Hill airport has steam-heated hangars to prevent deterioration of planes.

AGE PENSIONING BILL UNSCATHED BY REPUBLICANS Democratic Platform Measure Upheld in House by Vote of 72 to 20. Few palefaces captured by the Indians and forced to run the gantlet experienced the hacking which the Republican denizens in the Cherokee strip of the house of representatives attempted to inflict on the old age pension bill Monday. But safely protected by the Democratic majority the bill was on its way to engrossment today, none the worse for its harrowing experiences. No sooner was the bill handed down for second reading than the Republicans rolled up their sleeves and started the larruping. Everything was attempted from changing the administration of the pension from county commissioners to the circuit courts to having the bill include a section which would take $6,000,000 from the state treasury to carry out the provisions of the act. Although they realized that none of the amendments would be accepted, Republican after Republican proposed some change which either was indefinitely postponed or tabled on a voice vote, until Representative Miles Furnas (Randolph) Republican caucus chairman, who proposed the appropriation, asked for a roll call vote on that amendment.
