BAR ADMISSION BILL PROVOKES RAP ATJURISTS Senator Rowley Says Former Supreme Judges ‘Want . to Reform Everything/ "Retired supreme court Judges ought to go to the Fiji islands and leave the courts and lawyers alone. Jvery time one of those fellows ieave the bench they want to reform everything.” This was the answer of Senator Earl Rowley (Rep., La Porte and t e) 10 contention that the Indiana Bar Association bill to B*ve the supreme court complete jurisdiction over all admissions to the bar was "backed by former supreme court Judges and leading members of the bar.” Rowley Is a practicing attorney. Re declared the Indiana courts and *>ar are respected throughout the country, and he saw no reason to change the procedure whereby members are admitted to practice by *ny circuit court. Tie Vote of 21 to 21 The bill, sponsored In the senate by Senator French Clements (Rep.. Vanderburg), failed to get a constitutional majority. The vote was a tie, 21 to 21, and Lieutenant-Gov-ernor Edgar D. Bush has ruled that elthdr side may call it up again for passage. Senator Lee J. Hartzell (Rep., Allen and Noble), president pro tem. and majority floor leader, was given a polite let-down by Senator C. Oliver Holmes (Rep., Gary), when the Holmes bill providing special schools for retarded children was placed on passage Monday afternoon. "I understand this MU will call for an appropriation of $150,000,” Hartzell declared, in questioning the author. "Os course, I understand we are so busy here that most of us do not find time to read all the bills, but If i you read this bill you would see that lit does not provide for any additional school expenditures," Holmes explained. The measure passed, 37 to 5. Oleo Bill Weakened The biennial oleomargarine bill, Introduced this session by Senator Herbert V. Tormohlen (Rep., Jay and Randolph), had Its teeth pulled on second reading. The clause forbidding use of oleomargaine in state Institutions was stricken out by amendment. The bill as it went to engrossment for final passage calls for advertisements in eating places announcing that oleomargarine Is served and forbids the use of "any shade of yellow” In coloring the products. Proponents declare this will be a boon to the fanner’s butter business. An amendment to fine farmers who sell butterfat and buy oleomargarine to eat was rejected.

Cory (Dem., Lake), while Representative John M. Cantley (Dem., Cass) joined Representative Sam Bens (Dem., Crawford and Harrison), the author, In declaring the present law ‘‘closes the door of opportunity to poor boys and girls.” Passage came on a 40-36 vote against a majority recommendation by the education committee for Indefinite postponement.

BOMB PERILS 400 Chicago Blast Damage Is Estimated at $5,000. By United Preia CHICAGO, Feb. 10.—John (Hard Boiled) Alcock, acting police commissioner, declared war today upon persons responsible for a series of bombing outrages which reached a climax with the endangering of lives of 400 employes of the R. R. Donnelley & Sons’ printing plant.

Acting Speaker Saves Measure Labor Supports If not for Representative James M. Knapp (Wayne), Republican floor leader, labor leaders and Democratic chiefs would have been gnashing their teeth in rage today and the anti-injunction labor measure would have been lost in the limbo of forgotten things. It all happened Monday afternoon when Speaker Walter Myers excused himself from the house and turned the gavel over to Knapp. The acting Speaker, who was the real Speaker two yean ago, handed down several bills for action and then gave the reading clerk House Bill 39. As the number was read, Representative H. H. Evans (Rep- Henry) moved that consideration of the measure be indefinitely postponed. Such action would have killed ths bill. *T hear no second,** said acting Speaker Knapp as his eyes roved over the room. There seemed to be a “peep” of a second over in a distant corner under the balcony. "I hear no second,” said the Speaker, slowly as he looked at the Democratic side. Just then a roar went up from the Democratic side of the house and every one seemed to be on his feet at one time. "I move to table the motion to indefinitely postpone," shouted Representative Delph McKesson (Marshall) Democratic floor leader, at the top of his voice. Knapp could hardly put the question before It was drowned in a thunder of "ayes.” The acting Speaker’s anxiety for a second had enabled the Democratic proponents to find out that "House Bill 39” was the anti-in-junction measure and so the bill was saved. “Knapp ig a mighty square guy,” labor and party leaden concurred in saying.

Lawmaking in 1801 Carried on at Slight Cost Members of the house ways and means committee were given a practical illustration of the increased cost of legislation Monday night when they considered a request from thi Indiana Bar Association for $4,000 to purchase 2,000 copies of the Indiana territorial laws from 1801 to 1809. Reading from a copy of the book printed by Illinois, part of the Indiana territory in 1801, one of the bas association spokesmen quoted such appropriation.'! as: One hundred dollars for tfc'v territorial general fund, $lO for .he state auditor, $950 maximum for pay of members, .clerks and stenographers and $l5O for rental of the assembly hall. Appropriations of the present general assembly call for $150,000 for pay of members and aids and approximately $28,000,000 for the general fund.

Nobody Lorn A Fat Man So goes the old saying—but nobody believes it. However—leading physicians claim that fat is unhealthy and should be considered as such. A noted Doctor in Germany tell* his fat patients to make this sous weeks test—Not hard to do. Eat no pie—pastries—Ice cream—or sweet desserts—eat a good but moderate meal of lean meat, fish or chicken, along with a vegetable such as cabbage, cauliflower, spinach, eggplant or carrots—or a salad of tomatoes, lettuce or fruit—go easy on potatoes, butter, cream and sugar. Take one-half teaspoon of Kruschen Salts in a glass of hot water before breakfast every morning—weigh yourself—every week. You can get a jar of Kruschen Salts that lasts 4 weeks for 85 cents at Hook’s Dependable Drug Stores or any drug store in the world with the distinct understanding that you must be joyfully satisfied or money back—the Krushchen way la the safe way to reduce. Mr. Herman Runkls of Detroit, writes: “My first bottle of Kruschen Salts took all of the aches and swellings out of my joints—wi{h my first bottle I went on a diet and lost 22 pounds and now feel like anew man.” These magic salts are six salts In one—and are full of vitalising minerals your system needs to aid the Internal organs to function naturally and healthily and free the blood from toxins and adds. When you grow thin with Kruschen —you gain in energy and activity—yoa work better, sleep sound and reel the spirit of ambitious youth within yon.—Advertisement.

His appearance was marked with a parade on Monday afternoon which opened American Legion week here. Gibbons was brought here by the Legion. Charges of Graft Made at Hearing on War Memorial Charges of gTaft and maladministration of Indiana World war memorial funds were aired Monday night by the house ways and means committee in considering a bill calling for extension of the special sixmill tax levy from 1931 to 1934 inclusive. The committee heard spokesmen from the war memorial trustees, Veterans of Foreign Wars and the American Legion; Edward G. Schaub, state commander of the Foreign Wars organization, expressing hostility to the continued levy "unless we are given representation.” Referred to as "Rat Hole” Indicating a willingness to appropriate enough money to finish the interior of the memorial, the committee obtained assurances from Marcus Sonntag, Evansville banker and president of the board of trustees, that no more demands on the state would be made. Representative John M. Cantley (Dem., Cass) expressed the sentiment of one group of committee members when he declared "this memorial is a rat hole in which we’re pouring money.” “Yes,” as long as the 'cow gives milk,’ these fellows will be coming back for more," contributed Representative Earl Crawford (Dem., Union and Wayne). Schaub asserted he was refused figures on the war memorial maintenance and salary costs when he applied at the office of auditor of state and' obtained them only through intervention with the state booard of accounts by a member of the legislature. Slap at High Salary "One fellow, I know, is getting SSOO a month for doing little more than watch the grass grow,” Schaub told the committee. He said salaries paid* out of the memorial funds approximate $20,000 a year. Representative Fred S. Galloway (Dem., Marion) who appeared with the foreign war veterans, asserted a “member of the state board of accounts has told me there is more graft in the World war memorial than in any other branch of government.” He refused to name, his informant when pressed by members of the committee. Extension of the six-mill levy would give the memorial commission $1,200,000 in addition to the $4t000,000 already expended. The committee held the bill under advisement. It voted last week for indefinite postponement, but reconsidered until a hearing could be held.

STATE SENATE PASSES LOCAL BUDGET BILL 10 Per Cent Reduction of City’s Expenses Provided by Measure. By a bare majority the Indiana senate today passed, 26 to SI, and sent to the house of representatives the Beckett bill requiring a 10 per oent reduction In local governmenial budgets for the yean 1031 and 1932 under the figures for 1929, Senator Chester A. Perkins (Dem., St Joseph) argued that the budget reductions would entail discharges or reduced wages for public officials, teachers and police and firemen, and so deter recovery from the economic depression. To facilitate the budget reductions, the Beckett measure would suspend local mandatory levies sufficiently to permit the 10 per cent cut. undlrground fire is DISCOVERED ON ISLAND New York’s Municipal Farm Actually Is an Outride Hothawss. NEW YORK, Feb. 10,—The mystery of Rlker’s island, where the snow never blankets the earth, may be solved with discovery of fire some twenty feet underground, believed burning for years. Workmen excavating on the island for new city penitentiary buildings discovered the smoldering fire in a spot used eighteen years ago as a city dump. The area directly above the underground fire has been used several years now as a municipal farm. Unusual fertility of the soil has been cleared with the revelation that the farm actually is an outdoor hothouse, says Richard C. Patterson Jr. of the department of correction.
