Poll Tax for Women Defeated

OVER pleas of Miss Telia Haines (Dem., Sullivan), Indiana’s only woman representative, and amid a bedlam of representatives’ accusations and shantings, the house today defeated the bill for a uniform poll tax of $2.50 for all men and women between 21 and 50. Miss Haines, co-author if the bill with Representative H. H. Evans (Rep., Henry), still was protesting that she represented thousands of women who wanted to share the poll tax burden, when the bill was defeated, 54 to 42. Representatives Delph L. McKesson (Dem., Marshall), majority floor leader, and Earl Crawford 'Dem., Union and Wayne), led the assault on the bill. McKesson charged the bill would “take money away from your counties and townships and by all means, should be defeated. Crawford, attending the morning session for the sole purpose of throwing his opposition against the measure, became more personal, characterizing It as “slight-of-hand legislation.’ 1 “You’re not reducing the tax burden by passing such a poll tax law,” shouted Crawford. “All you do is shift the burden a little bit and make a lot of men pay double faxes for themselves and their wives. “The gentleman from Henry county ‘Evans) says the women 1n his county want such a tax. Maybe he’s talked to every woman in the county and kissed all the babies —maybe that’s how he was elected—but I don’t believe the women want it.” Miss Haines declared she represented the demands of 660,000 Indiana women for equal responsibility in government, in becoming the coauthor of the poll tax bill. ana Guards Churches POOL rooms and churches make poor community neighbors, believes Senator John 8. Alldredge (Rep., Madison), attorney and realtor. So he introduced a bill in the state senate today barring the erection, operation ormalntenance of dance halls, pool rooms, bowling alleys and billiard halls within 200 feet of a church. Violation would be a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of not more than SIOO. a a a Ridicule Golf Czar RIDICULE was directed in the house of representatives today at the appointment of a superintendent of golf by the city of Indianapolis at an annual salary of $4,000. The barbed shafts were contained in a resolution submitted by Representative H. H. Evans (Rep., Henry) directing that every city appoint such. a superintendent of “golf for the unemployed” at the same salary and that in towns where there are miniature and Tom Thumb courses, superintendents be appointed for such courses, also at an annual salary of $4,000. The resolution, which was received in a gale of laughter, was referred by Speaker Walter Myers to the committee on drains and dikes. n n n New Pension Fight "TJENSIONS for game wardens’’ .L was the proposal advanced in the state senate today by Senator John S.

SLICE $617,402 FROM 2-YEAR STATE BUDGET $76,107,230 Appropriation Is Recommended in Biennial Bill. MORE SLASHING LIKELY Fight May Be Stirred by Cutting SIIO,OOO From Indiana University. <Detailed budget figures on page 10) Appropriation of $76,107,230 for expenses of Indiana state government for 1931-33, a sum $617,402 less than that allowed two years ago for 1929-30, is recommended in the biennial appropriation bill drafted by the state budget committee today and presented to Governor Harry G. Leslie. Introduced by Representatives H. Curtiss Bennett (Dem., Dearborn and Ohio) and Sam J. Farrell (Rep., Blackford and Grant), state budget committee members, the bill was referred by Speaker Walter Myers to the ways and means committee. The house committee on public expenditures will meet with the ways and means committee to consider the bill. Os the grand total, $27,947,030 must be raised by direct taxation tor state institutions and departments. Major item covered by independent funds, financed by fees and other revenues, is that of the state highway department which is listed in the bill for $46,500,000 for the two-year period. Under the law the department spends all revenues derived from automobile license plate sales and three-fourths of the gasoline tax. More Slashes Possible Departmental recommendations total $7,912,749 and institutions $20.034.281. The combined total of these is $617,402 less than the 1929 twoyear appropriations and $8,915,047 less than budget requests made to the committee. Further slashes may be made on the floor of both the house and senate, the legislators indicated. But bills are pending that would necessitate increases also. The budget committee, appointed by Governor Leslie, recommends a $6,000 increase in the executive budget for. 1929, the new total being $490,000. This includes retention of the $200,000 annual emergency fund which caused considerable criticism when Leslie dipped into it to decorate and furnish the Governor’s mansion, although there is an appropriation of SIO,OOO a year for mansion maintenance. School Bittle looming Governor’s salary is SB,OOO and the SIO,OOO household fund additional. The Governor’s funds and the recommendation that Indiana university get SIIO,OOO less than 1929. while Purdue university get SIOO,OOO more than 1929. are two points that appear at once to contain conflict when the bill is itemized in the house. Point may be raised that Leslie had the Indiana budget out as a come-back against the Democratic political activities of Dean Paul McNutt of the Indiana law school. Cutting the budget was done by trimming small amounts from both departments and institutions, but in several instances increases were made to permit necessary building and improvements. Institutions Share Boosls Institutions sharing these increases and the amount of increase over the 1929 figure are the School for Feeble-Minded Youth and Farm Colony, $191,500: Logansport state hospital. $282,850; Indiana state prison, $191,050: Indiana state reformatory, $66,500: Indiana woman’s prison, $6,300; Indiana girl’s school, $1,125; industrial aid for the blind, $10,170. Members of the budget committee are Senators Byron Huff (Rep., Hendricks, Morgan and Owen) and Thurman A. Gottschalk (Dem., Adams, Blackford and Wells) and Representatives Bennett and Farrell.

COMPROMISE BONUS BILL IS DRAFTED Owen D. Young Plan- Is Favored by G. 0. P. Chiefs in House, BY THOMAS L. STOKES United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.—A compromise bill which would increase greatly amount of loans on World war veterans’ adjusted service certificates was being drafted today by Republican members of the house ways and means committee with administration backing. It would cost the government about $500,000,000. The measure will be presented to the committee next week when it begins to consider bonus proposals. The committee concluded its hearings Thursday. A canvass now is being made by Speaker Longworth to see if the bill could be pushed through in the form approved by Republican leaders. If there appears any danger that the house would not accept it, but would vote some proposal not approved by the administration, the measure would be held up a while until some other compromise could be framed. However, Republican leaders have found a spirit of compromise in the house, which especially has become noticeable since Owen D. Young, chairman of the board of General Electric and a leading Democrat, opposed the straight cash bonus and suggested advances only to needy veterans. Republicans tvere impressed with his proposal, which formed a basis for their new plan, and many Democrats have switched iri their former allegiance to a straight cash plan. The Republican compromise, however, is designed to apply to all veterans, instead of only those unemployed and in need. FIRE LOSS $49,000 Blaze Threatens Business Section of Town.

Tilson said he would agree to an increase of $15,000,000 for drought relief under terms of the original $45,000,000 appropriation, which did not include loans for food. He also suggested that the credit facilities of intermediate credit banks might be broadened to aid distressed areas.

INDIANAPOLIS, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1931

ARRIVED AFTER COLE'S KILLING, lORDAN CLAIM Mrs. Cole Is Accused of Engineering Love Plot to Slay Mate. SHERIFF TAKES STAND Testifies Fingerprints of Woman Were Found on Revolver. Mrs. Marie Cole, held for complicity in the Greenfield slaying of her husband, Raymond I. Cole, was accused in criminal court today of engineering the love plot for which Frank Jordan, 25, her reputed lover, is being tried for first degree murder. Witnesses testifying this morning told the jury that Mrs. Cole drew Jordan into a net, involving nim in the slaying in which he had no part. As the trial neared the end of its fourth day, the jury heard Sheriff John H. Nye of Hancock county, quote Jordan as saying he (Jordan) arrived at the scene of the crime after Cole was killed, ‘l’ll Take the Rap’ When Mrs. Cole was being questioned with Jordan after their arrest, the woman declared she would take the “rap” for the killing, Nye testified. Nye quoted Mrs. Cole as telling Jordan that she had intended “to keep still” about the killing, but that she “would now show herself to be a better woman than you are a man. I’ll take the rap,” Nye quoted her as declaring. “We talked it over and planned it two weeks before it happened,” Mrs. Cole was quoted by Nye as insisting. Jordan, in a purported confession, declared he arirved at the lonely lane near Sugar creek the night of Oct. 31, in time to hear shots fired. Loses Confession Fight He “picked up” Mrs. Cole and returned her to Indianapolis. Nye testified that the woman’s finger prints were found on the revolver which was recovered at the roadside several miles from the place of the killing. On the witness stand Thursday afternoon Jordan made an unsuccessful attempt to keep an alleged confession to the crime from the jury. Lawrence Shaw and Albert Fishman, defense attorneys, attempted to show that the signed statement was obtained under duress by Greenfield authorities, but L. Ert Slack, trial judge, held-that detectives did not threaten the prisoner. Hancock county authorities declare Jordan since has admitted he fired the shots that killed Cole. Clothing Is Inspected To identify the revolver as Jordan's, prosecutors placed Horace W. Johnson, Kokomo, on the stand to testify that Jordan had displayed the same revolver to friends in Indianapolis before the crime. Cole’s blood-splattered clothing and one bullet removed from his body were inspected by jurors as the state attempted to show that Cole was shot three times at very close range, as evidenced by powder burns on the clothing. Mrs. Jordan sat beside her husband today holding their 3-year-old child. The woman cried as Jordan’s alleged confession was read to the jury.

WAR OPENED BY DRYS ON WINE JUICE SALES

By United Press WASHINGTON, Feb. 6. Open warfare on the Federal Aided Fruit Industries, Inc., of California, was proclaimed today by Dr. Clarence True Wilson of the Methodist Board of Temperance, Prohibition and Public Morals. He has appealed for amendment of the Volstead act to prevent marketing of “Vine-Glo” grape concentrate manufactured by the corporation. “Vine-Glo’ is a concentrated grape juice which is delivered to consumers in unfermented form. It will turn into wine in sixty days. Senator Tydings (Dem., Mo.) and a wet, read in the senate today a letter from Dr. Wilson proposing amendment of the act. The letter said the products were advertised in such a way as to leaev no doubt they will after delivery become strongly intoxicating.” Dr. Wilson wrote Tydings in support of the senator’s speech this week decrying the loophole in the law which permitted manufacture of “20 per cent wine,’ while 4 per beer is illegal.

“Why don't you tell these fellows who is paying you?” Ray demanded of Luesse. “Who pays for your bonds at the jail? Tell them. I'm not sure you’re an American citizen. Your money comes from Russia.” Ray then said that if Luesse did get a job he wouldn't work. Luesse replied that it "is a joke” and “you’re not sincere.” Ray said he had jobs for three or four men and took the names of the many others in the group, promising them work as soon as possible.

RACER TO LET RECORD STAND Campbell Sets Up Mark of 245 Miles an Hour. By Ukited Press DAYTONA BEACH, Fla., Feb. 6. —Captain Malcolm Campbell contented himself with his world's motor car speed records today and announced he would make no further tests in the Bluebird 11, which established the mile record Thursday at 245.73 miles an hour. The 46-year-old British race driver, who is the first man to achieve a speed of more than four miles a minute in an automobile, issued the following statement: “The Bluebird already holds the five-kilometer and five-mile world's records, achieved in South Africa in April, 1929, in addition to the kilometer and the mile records set up Thursday. “Therefore, it will not be worth the time and expense involved, owing to the uncertainty of beach and weather conditions, to attempt to set new marks for the above distances. “If, however, these records are surpassed in the future, the Bluebird again will be called on to defend her title.”

Tydings said in his speech he would introduce an amendment to the pending District of Columbia enforcement bill, making the manufacture of wine in the home illegal. The literature of Fruit Industries, Inc., whose counsel in Washington, Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt, asserts that Section 29 of the Volstead act makes the sale of graps concentrate as proposed by the corporation "absolutely legal.” Tydings contended this was true, and that the law should be changed.

MUSIC HATH CHARM

Branded Worst Peril to Homes

By United Press LONDON, Feb. 6.—Music has broken up more happy homes and driven more married couples to madness than golf, bridge and blonde secretaries combined, British neurologists have discovered. Studies made by nerve specialists have indicated that couples whose tastes in music differ must scrap their radios, pianos and saxophones if they wish to make a success of their married life.

“Husbands and wives who do not like the same kind of music are almost certain to end in the divorce court,” declared Dr. J. A. Planner, well-known London neurologist, who believes many of the uphappy marriages of history may be traced to musical differences. Thus Napoleon may have cast off Josephine because she objected to the martial music played upon his triumphal returns to Paris. /t n n tt ft ft Young Johnny Passed as Witness By United Press • NEW YORK, Feb. 6.—Antonio D’Augustino. 11, brought a group of his p s aymates from the rough and ready gashouse district into supreme court today to help him win a $109,000 suit for an alleged heart injury suffered in a fall down a manhole. “Do you know what will happen to you if you do not tell the truth?” Justice Ford asked Johnny Carr, as he stepped to the witness stand. “Yep,” said the boy, “I’ll go to Hell.” , He was considered qualified. m st n \ * * * Just One of Life's Little Tragedies

SNOWSTORM RUSHING DOWN ON MIDWEST Winter Drought Region Is Cheered by Promise of Relief. COMING FROM ROCKIES Falling Temperatures Bring First Winter Touch to Northwest. By United Press CHICAGO, Feb. 6—Sweeping eastward on a 2,000-mile front, a sonwstorm was bearing down on the middle west today, carrying with it promise of relief for droughtstricken farmers and jobs for thousands of unemployed. The storm gathered its strength on the western slope of the Rockies and extended southward from Edmonton. Canada, to Amarillo, Tex. By mid-day it was snowing steadily in western North Dakota and western lowa. Weather forecasters predicted that snow would fall throughout the northwest and middle west. The government weather' bureau refused to estimate the probable depth of the snow, but Indicated a belief that the fall would be considerable in most sections. Winter in Northwest Lowering temperatures brought the first tinge of winter to the northwest. In St. Paul the mercury had risen to 19 above at 9 a. m., but it was considerably colder during the night. Moorehead, Minn., had 14 above; DevU’s Lake, N. D-, 14; Huron, S. D., 18. Mild weather, which had permitted the first February baseball games in history, came to an end in the Canadian northwest as the mercury dropped to 2 degrees below Zero in Winnipeg, Manitoba. The predictions of snow were received cheerfully in almost all sections of the country and especially were encouraging in Indiana, Kentucky and Illinois, where condition: have become acute. So serious have conditions become in some areas it has been necessary to ship water into many towns. The entire village of Bloomfield, Ind., was threatened with destruction Thursday night because there was no water to check a fire that started in a hotel. Low Rates to Ship Water The hotel, one residence, the Masonic hall and two stores were destroyed before the blaze was extinguished with water rushed in tank cars from Solsberry, thirteen miles away. Cognizance of the situation *n Illinois was taken by the state commerce commission, which telegraphed all railroads that it would approve low emergency rates for water transportation. Water already is being shipped into several towns, and In a dozen others it was said the water supply could not last more than from eight to fifteen days more, even with its use restricted. At Jacksonville, 111., plans were being made today to send home 600 blind boys and girls because the water supply at the institution they attend was almost exhausted. Limit Put on Baths In several districts of Kentucky, water was sold by the barrel and at Marion, 111., all residents were asked to conserve water by not washing their automobiles. In several small towns, residents were urged not to take baths except of the “sponge” variety. A southern Illinois Catholic archbishop, J. T. McNichol3, ordered daily prayers for rain in all his churches. The water shortage in most areas was due in part to this winter’s drought and, in part, to the big drought of 1930. The only place in the country where it snowed Thursday was Marquette, Mich., where there was a flurry. Heavy rains fell in some sections of the west coast.
