HOUSE PASSES PENSION BILL; VOTE IS 74-17 Proponents Start Work in Senate, Where Measure Is Periled. Proponents of the old age pension bill, which successfully weathered the storms In the house of representatives to pass, 74-17, today began their concentration on the senate, where the danger to the measure has been and continues to be the greatest. Party lines in the latter body have been broken definitely, with the decision by the senate Republicans at a caucus late Wednesday that a party vote on old age pensions will not be asked. It was decided, however, that third reading of the bill In the upper house will be deferred until Feb. 1. The Democratic party platform pledge bill successfully ran the gantlet in the house and was well protected by that party’s majority of 50 votes there, although three Democrats, Benz, Journay and Sage, voted against its passage. Age Limit Raised The senate advanced to third reading a pension bill which is a duplicate of the house measure except that the age for qualification was increased from 65 to 70 years; it makes the system optional with counties, and mandates county commissioners to take over the property of pensioners. An amendatory companion measure is being prepared for introduction in the house, which would legalize the sale of county and township poor farms, which, according to Repreiwntative William J. Black •Dem., Madison) will be unnecessary after passage of the pension bill. Bill Is Attacked Although an attempt was made in the house to postpone consideration of the bill until next week, the topheavy Democratic majority halted this, while the members listened to an attack on the bill by Representative Cecil J. Kistler (Rep., Elkhart), which was answered by Fred S. Galloway (Dem., Marion). During the voting, Representative Herbert Kenney (Dem., Floyd), who had been a contender for floor leader, rose to explain his vote and declared he would vote for passage because it was a platform pledge, but •'some day the Democrats will be sorry.’’ FOR (74) DEMOCRATS (67) -VJe.

RAGING DOGS TO FLY Famous Canines to Attend Derby in Airplane. j By Times Special OTTAWA, Canada, Jan. 29. Something entirely new In dog raci ing circles came to light here when i word was received that two of the dog teams entered in the Ottawa dog derby in conjunction with the winter carnival, to be held here Feb. 2 to 7, will arrive by airplane. They are the dogs of Mrs. E. P. Ricker, famous woman musher of Poland Springs, Me., and Jack Melville of Lake Travers, Algonquin Park, Ontario. Both of these drivers are famous for the feats of their dogs, as are Leonard Seppala, hero of the Nome serum dash; Emile St. Goddard, present holder of the Chateau Laurier cup, and Earl Brydges, winner of The Pas dog derby last year, all of whom have entered teams in this race. Mrs. Ricker is at the present time giving her dogs their final training at St. Jovite, Quebec, from where they will be roshed by airplane to arrive here about the same time as the dogs which will be flown in from Lake Traverse. PENNSYLVANIA STREET WIDENING PROTESTED Property Owners Say Speed Hazards Would Overcome Benefits. Delegation of property owners have protested letting of a contract for widening and resurfacing Penn- : sylvania street, from Thirtieth to Thirty-fourth street. “We like the esplanade or parkway and do not want it removed,” the works board was told. “Besides such resurfacing makes the street a speedway with additional hazards far greater than those presented in favor of the project, that the wood blocks are slippery and dangerous.” Board members said bonds had been issued for the widening project.

BRITISH LABOR CABINET PULLS THROUtMCRISIS Backed by Majority .of 27 in Test Vote on Trades Dispute Bill. BY KEITH JONES United Press Staff Correspondent LONDON, Jan. 29.—The Laborite government of Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald, apparently near failure several times during its uncertain existence, rede on a wave of unusual optimism today, backed by a majority of 27 votes in the house of commons. The majority was obtained on the second reading of the trades disputes bill, approved by the house by a vote of 277 to 250. The unexpectedly large majority, coming after three days of hammering from Conservatives and a number of Liberals, was cheered by the government party. Many political observers predicted that the government would be

. THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Jim Reed Ties *Coward ’ Label on Rum Report By United Press OKLAHOMA CITY, Jan. 29 —James A. Reed, former United States senator, found in the Wickersham report “the finest evidence of hypocrisy and political cowardice experienced upon this earth.” Speaking at a meetiuj of the South Central Business Association here Wednesday night, Reed said the report “admits prohibition has been a failure, and then tolls us to enforce it some more.” “Prohibition is no joke, but the Wickersham report is the joke of the century,” he said. “Nobody can discuss it sober. Nobody understands it drunk. “It is a kind of mongrel, a cross between a spotted hyena, an African zebra, and an American jackass with a large proportion of the latter.”

ousted on the vote, while Laborite leaders had expected to squeeze through by the narrowest of majorities. Labor's majority was due to the abstention of most of the Liberals, which was expected, and the absence of several Conservatives, which was unexpected. Colds, grip and influenza kept numerous Conservatives away* from the session, and added to the favorable vote for the government. Politicians expect the bill will be subjected to extensive amendments by Liberals during the committee stage, and might. emerge very much emasculated. The government is expected to

accept the amendments and let trade unionists salvage as much as possible from the measure. The Laborite victory gave the party increased prestige, but did little to alter the complicated situation in the house of commons. David Lloyd George and his Liberal followers hold the balance of power, and apparently will not consider turning the government out, at least until they receive more adequate representation in the new electoral reform law. The Welch style themselves Cymry or Cumry, a word which, in their language, means a number of people associated together.
