worth (Rep., Marshall and St. Joseph) to have the bill indefinitely postponed failed, 31 to 16. Nedjl Leads Fight Senator James J. Nedjl (Rep., Lake), co-author of the bill with Senator Walter S. Chambers (Dem., Hancock, Henry and Madison) moved at the opening of discussion that a roll call vote be taken on all motions. Later attempts by Senator Lee J. Hartzell (Rep., Allen and Noble) to modify this ruling failed. Senator William V. Doogs (Dem., Perry and Spencer) introduced two amendments which Nejdl termed “ridiculous” and both were voted down. One of the Doogs’ amendments would require that the person receiving an old age pension be a taxpayer for thirty years, and the other would require he should have worked in the county fifteen years. Option Amendment Wins Senator Addison Drake (Dem., Sullivan and Vigo) put in the successful county option amendment, it was supported by Senator Chambers, but opposed by Nejdl. Senator John Niblack (Rep., Marion) proposed appropriation of ('•4,000,000 for the state general fund to pay the pensions. This was defeated, 32 to 16. Senator I. Floyd Garrott (Rep., Benton and Tippecanoe), secured the amendment requiring county commissioners to take over pensioner's property. He failed, however, on another .imendment, which would deduct rental value of the house in which the pensioner lives from the pension. Another defeated amendment would have the county commissioners judge the ability of the pensioner to handle the pension and provide that those incapable be institutionalized.

Y., Jan. 23.—Jules Tumour, last of the oldtime circus clowns and a personal friend of* President Hoover and King Alfonso of Spain, is dead.

COURT JAMMED TO HEAR SPICY MURDER STORY \ Girl Who Slew Common Law Husband to Claim SelfDefense, Her Lawyers Indicate Before Judge.

Details of a young woman’s philanderings provided spicy testimony attracting a crowd that jammed criminal court today to hear the trial of Miss Dorothy Jacobs, pretty 22-year-old waitress, charged* with the murder of Robert Morrison, her lover and her common law husband. A jury was impaneled earlv afternoon. After brief opening arguments by the state and defense, the trial got under way, with testimony of state’s witnesses. The state asks that Miss Jacobs be imprisoned for life. With technical and medical testimony being presented, the trial moved slowly this morning. Three witnesses, including Robert Smith, Edward Brown, both policemen, and Dr. W. S. Zarich, 1362 Ewing street, who performed an autopsy upon the body of Morrison, testified in court. Testimony that Miss Jacob’s attorneys declare will show Morrison brutally attacked her, was started when Zarich told the court: “It would have been possible for the murderess to have stabbed Morrison while he was standing beside her, or while rushing at her.” Additional crowds were on hand when the trial reconvened at 1:30 p. m. after noon recess. Faultlessly dressed in newest spring clothes. Miss Jacob thus far has evinced only slight interest in what is happening around her. Her two attorneys, Harry Raitano and T. Ernest Maholm, promise they will unfold a story of a woman's “sacrificing everything for love.”

‘BALL GAME’ IS PLAYED ON UTILITY QUIZ House Bats $3,000 Check Probe Issue to Senate; Interest on Ogden. BUSH AGAINST INQUIRY Legislature Not Supposed to Be Investigating Body, He Says. Proposed legislative investigation of the $3,000 public service commission check today became a game of ball between the two branches of the general assembly. The house Democratic majority today batted it over to senate Republicans whose presiding officer announced the senator has no time for probes. Interest again turned to AttorneyGeneral James M. Ogden, who prepared to lay the matter before the proper authorities. House Democrats met secretly Tuesday night behind closed and double guard doors and decided to let the senate do the probing. This was in line with the request of Calvin F. Mclntosh, Democratic member of the public service commission, who is the target of Ogden’s investigation of various stories concerning the manner in which a $3,000 check, drawn or the Southern Indiana Telephone and Tele-grar-n Company for “promotional ext -ses’’ had been spent. Bush to Oppose Probe When Lieutenant Governor Edgar D. Bush was notified of the Democratic caucus action and the fact that Freal Mclntosh, brother of the commissioner had announced that he would ask the senate to delve into the affair, he retorted that he would oppose the move. “I am against all investigations,” Bush said, “whether they be inaugurated by Republicans or Democrats. The legislature is not intended to be an investigating body.” Pointing out the need for tax legislation, the Lieutenant Governor said: “If the Democrats have so much to do that they haven’t time to investigate the Mclntosh matter, we Republicans should have at least sense enough to follow their example. Now is the time to legislate, not investigate.” Next Move Up to Ogden With both houses refusing to probe the charges the next move is up to the attorney-general, who intimated that he may place all the information he has obtained in the hands of the Jackson county grand jury, but that he first awaits a visit from Mclntosh and his attorney, Clyde E. Jones, to discuss the situation. Perhaps the most outstanding feature of the caucus was the secrecy insisted upon by Representative Earl Crawford (Union and Wayne), caucus chairman, who repeatedly warned the members against repeating to the press what had occurred. The caucus was opened with a short talk by Speaker Walter Myers in which he urged that the party platform measures, old age pensions, income tax bill, voters’ registration, and the anti-yellow dog contract bills be rushed through and passed. Gwin Presents Resolution The Mclntosh matter came to the fore with the presentation of a resolution by Representative Fabius Gwin (Martin and Debois), asking the speaker to appoint a committee of five to probe the charges and then report back its findings and recommendations to the house. Gwin in speaking on his resolution expressed his belief in the honesty and probity of Mclntosh and declared that in his opinion the reports circulated concerning the commissioner are untrue. Representatives John F. White, W. E. Stanton, Clarence O. Schlegel, Nathan Combs and Floor Leader Delph L. McKeeson spoke against an investigation. Peters Explains Labor Bill Myers announced that he had received a phone call late Tuesday afternoon from Freal Mclntosh, who had requested Gwin to introduce the probe resolution; asking that the Democrats take no action, as his brother desired that the investigation come from the senate Republicans in order that there could be no charges of “whitewashing” by the Democrats. Representative Edward E. Eikenbary of Wabash suggested the caucus appoint a committee of three to j delve into the charges and then report back, but he later withdrew the motion. The state committee’s attitude of passage for the labor “anti-injunc-tion” bill was explained by R. Earl Peters, state chairman, who was present; and a letter from Amos Wood, party treasurer, asking for $lO contributions to make good the campaign deficit, was read.

Sad, Sad Tales of Prodigal Pup and Poor Bill Mattox’s Cow By United Press

COUNCIL BLUFFS, la., Jan. 28.—Chris Christensen, who takes care of the dogs at the city pound, recounted today the story about the bill collector and the prodigal pup. “There,” said Chris, pointing his finger at an ordinary looking animal, “is the dog.” “I picked him up at the home of a bill collector, and it seems this fellow kidnaped the dog from the home of one of his slow paying prospects. “His idea was to collect a $5 bill by promising to return the dog. “But when he made the proposal over the telephone he was disappointed. “I should say not,” said the lady of the house. “Why, my husband’s been trying to get rid of that dog for months, but it always comes trailing back.” x

RUIN FACED IF BONUS IS PAID, MELLON SAYS

Treasury Chief Declares Plan Would Result in Disaster. BY LYLE C. WILSON United Press Stall’ Correspondent WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.—Secretary of Treasury Mellon today denounoed congressional plans for further immediate compensation for World war veterans as a program of unmitigated inflation, which would lead to greater depression. He predicted a deficit this year of at least $375,000,000, and expressed the opinion that the compensation project would necessitate an early tax increase. Mellon discussed the question in testimony before the senate finance committee, which is considering several bills to cash veterans’ insurance certificates. He estimated the cost of cash payments would be $3,400,000,000. Mellon said the plan, in effect, would impose a capital levy on holders of government bonds, kill the market for other securities, and disorganize the government’s debt refunding and retirement program. Paints Disaster Picture All bonds would be affected, he said, and capital values aggregating hundreds of millions would be destroyed. “Obviously,” said the secretary, “This is no time for reckless and unwarranted abuse of the public credit. Emphasizing the difficulty of floating a $3,400,000,000 bond issue, Mellon said nothing would be comparable except Liberty loan operations concluded during war-time inflation, with none unemployed and incomes increasing. “The effect of these measures,” he continued, “would be equivalent to a capital levy on the holders of all United States government securities. Would Increase Depression “There probably would be some rise in prices, with further dislocation of the price relationship between consumption goods and raw materials. The rise in the prices of consumption goods would be followed by a drop when the stimulation effect of inflation would have worn off, and the drop would bring prices to a lower level than prevailing at present. “There would, after a while, be a deeper depression than the one from which the world is suffering today. Undersecretary Mills read to the committee several previously published letters written by Mellon in reference to cash payments. One of the letters said the payment would not be in the interest of the veterans. Called “Niggardly Gift” “Who is the best judge of that interest?” asked Senator Couzens (Rep., Mich.) “the veterans themselves or the treasury? I think there is some question of good taste in the treasury attempting to argue not only its own case but that of the veterans.” Mills said the “individual veteran would be the best judge of his individual interest, but the treasury was the best judge of the effect on the country and upon the 3,500,000 veterans in general.” Senator Reed (Rep., Pa.) said the insurance was a gift to the veterans.” “I resent that idea,” Couzens replied. “My understanding was the insurance sought to compensate the veterans for their underpayment during the war.” Senator Barkley (Dem., Ky) said if it was a gift, the insurance was a “niggardly one.” O’NEILL RESUMES TOUR Legion Head Recovers From Cold to Continue Speeches.

BRIDGETON, N. H., Jan. 28.—Pity poor Bill Mattox and his cow. Several days ago Bill drew $420 from a bank to pay some bills. He carried it in his back pocket in a canvas money bag. After feeding the cows, he missed the bag. He searched frantically, then dashed to the barn. He saw what once had been a S2O bill under the cows jowls as she calmly chewed her cud. Bill pried her mouth open, saw the remains of the money bag, then put in a hurry call for Dr. W. W. Wynne. “Operate” directed Bill when the veterinarian arrived. The cow’s stomach revealed one SSO bill, a S2O bill and a 50-cent piece. Bossy’s goat-like digestion had done the rest.

LAW SOUGHT TO SHIFT CONTROL OF ATHLETICS Jeffersonville Legislator’s Bill Is Reprisal for School’s Suspension by I. H. S. A. A.

Lethal blow at control of the Indiana High School Athletic Association over interscholastic athletics was contained in a bill today in hands of Senator Russell P. Kehoe (Dem., Clark, Jefferson, Ohio and Switzerland). Kehoe’s measure would give the state board of education “full, complete and exclusive control and supervision of all athletic contests and activities in public and parochial schools of the state.” The bill is in reprisal for suspension Tuesday by the I. 11.

G. O. P. LEADER SAVES PET BILL OF DEMOCRATS

Quick work of James M. Knapp (Wayne), Republican floor leader, today saved for the top-heaVy Democratic majority in the house, the Democratic party’s income tax bill, a platform pledge. Threat of further consideration of the Democratic platform measure arose when the ways and means committee recommended indefinite postponement of the income tax measure introduced by a Republican Representative H. H. Evans (Henry). Postponement of Evans’ measure was urged on the ground that the committee will report out favorably the Democratic platform income tax which was introduced Monday. Just as it appeared time for the vote Knapp took the floor and

TRIES TO SLAY WIFEJROTHER Bound With Ropes to Be Taken to Jail. Running amuck this afternoon, John Rickelman, 55, of 628 South Ryboit avenue, tried to slay his wife, Mrs. Caroline Rickelman, and his brother, Bernard Rickelman. Screaming at the top of his voice, John Rickelman grabbed a chair, and, tearing it to pieces, attacked his brother, beating him severely on the head and body. After he had subdued Bernard Rickelman temporarily, he then yelled that he was going to murder his wife. However, Bernard was able to shove her into another room before Rickelman attacked her with the chair piece. Deputy sheriffs bound Rickelman with ropes to bring him to the county jail. Bernard Rickelman’s wounds were treated by a physician.

of Jeffersonville high school, undefeated this season in basketball, for playing three men the association held ineligible. Kehoe is a Jeffersonville resident. Although criticism of the I. H. S. A. A. and of alleged czaristic control of interscholastic athletics by its permanent secretary, Arthur L. Trester of Anderson, has grown during recent years, this is the first attempt to legislate its powers away. On protests of two or more of the fifteen teams it has defeated thus far in the season, Jeffersonville high school was removed from the association until Jure 1, 1930, eliminating the team from further competition with other association members in good standing, and removing its chances to win the state basketball title in March. Having plowed through stiff opposition in southern Indiana, Jeffersonville loomed amidst the high ranking teams in the state to win the Hoosier tournament here in mid-march. One clause in the bill Kehoe plans to introduce late today or Thursday may find argument from parochial schools, for it includes them in supervision by the state board of education. Parochial schools never have been admitted to I. H. S. A. A. and seldom have shown inclination to gain its protection and accept its responsibilities.

pointed out that if the house indefinitely postponed the Evans bill it could not, during this session, act upon an income tax. This, Knapp explained, would have closed the door to the consideration of an income tax measure during the present session and would have checked further consideration of the Democratic platform bill for an income tax. The bill is in the ways and means committee. Following the explanation, Representative Earl Crawford (Union and Wayne), Democrat!". caucus chairman, moved that the INans bill be recommitted to the ways and means committee. This was adopted.

He talked and talked, and before he was through he admitted his whole story was faked. He hadn’t even been in the war.

BAN PUT ON CONGRESS AID BY REDCROSS Organization Will Refuse to Accept 25 Millions, Payne Announces. MERCY AGENCY FLAYED Branded Hoover Plaything, Charged With Playing Politics, in Senate. By United Press WASHINGTON, Jan 28. The central committee of the American Red Cross refuses to accept the $25,000,000 appropriation inserted by the senate in the interior department appropriation bill, chairman John Barton Payne told the house Appropriations committee today. The refusal precipitated unprecedented and scathing attacks on that organization, after Payne had stated that the $10,000,000 for which the Red Cross has asked the nation would be sufficient. Charges of playing politics, and that the Red Cross had become a political instrument of President Hoover, were made on the floor when word of Chairman Payne’s attitude became known. Only once before in this session, and probably never before in the history of congress, has anything like today’s asault on the Red Cross been approached. Calls for Repudiation Minority Leader Robinson, who proposed the $25,000,000 appropriation, called on “every senator with a heart to repudiate this policy of the Red Cross.” He said congress could find its own agencies to distribute the fund to the hungry in town and country this winter. “The refusal to spend any funds appropriated by congress has done more,” he said, “to discredit that organization than anything that has happened or can happen.” He contrasted the policies of “Citizen Hoover” as relief director in foreign lands after the war and “President Hoover” at the present time. Robinson said that in view of delay in the house and the attitude of the Red Cross, he would suggest the $25,000,000 might have to be appropriated for “some other and better relief agency.” Hits Hoover Attitude “The attitude of the President of the United States against a federal appropriation Is incomprehensible to his most intimate friends,” Robinson said. “After the war, congress appropriated $120,000,000 for relief of foreigners and Citizen Hoover spent it and his name became known throughout the world. He recommended that the money be appropriated out of the treasury.” Senator Copeland (Dem., N. Y.) expressed the hope that “the Red Cross will repudiate any such cruel decisions.” The central committee's decision was announced suddenly and dramatically by Payne after he had opposed the Red Cross entering such a gigantic task as would be required under this appropriation. “Our conclusion is that the fled Cross simply can not undertake to administer this fund,” he said suddenly, and then presented to the committee the resolution adopted Tuesday by the central committee.

Campaign Hunt, He Says “The President’s proclamation was Issued on Jan. 13,” Payne remarked. Usually we receive a million dollars a day in such campaigns and can raise such a fund in ten days or two weeks. “The next day Senator Robinson of Arkansas introduced his resolution for an additional $25,000,000, and on that day we received a contribution of $5,000." Contributions increased after that, he said, but were coming in so slowly that he had to call a special meeting to devise special measures to boost the campaign. Under the appropriation bill, he said, the Red Cross would have to set up a huge and expensive organization which would compete with organizations in cities now adequately handling relief of the unemployed.
