Bill FATHERED BY GOVERNOR’S CRIME PROBERS Measure Would Create State Department of Public Safety. Five weeks to the day after the general, assembly convened, the propo:?.l of the Governor's crime commission to create a state department of public safety put in its appearance in the form of a bill introduced in the senate Thursday. Offered so late that its chances at passage have been jeopardized, the bill would remove from control of the secretary of state, the state police and state bureau of criminal identification and investigation, consolidating them under the public safety department. The latter department would be managed by a state board of safety of four members to be appointed by the Governor and to be paid $lO a day for time actually devoted to their duties. The board would appoint a director of public safety “ for fitness, irrespective of his political beliefs or affiliation.” Named by Safety Director Officers and members of the state police would be named by the safety director with board approval. Game wardens, oil inspectors, and arson inspectors would be ex-officio state police. The change would be effective upon proclamation of the statutes, next May or June. Another new measure in the senate is aimed at revision of the present assessment system. It would create a board, consisting of the county council, a circuit judge, and the county commissioners, to appoint a county tax board of three members to take over duties of the county and township assessors. Other new senate bills would restrict sale of anti-freeze solutions containing more than 10 per cent of methanol; require SSOO deductions from the assessed valuations of household goods and farm machinery, respectively, until March 1, 1933; require, that when any city official is to make an appointment, the appointee shall be named from a list of five nominees submitted by the chairman of the opposite political party. Road Cost Would Be Split Another provides that the cost of county highways be divided between abutting property owners and the county at large, the county commissioners to determine the amount of the assessments between a minimum of 10 per cent and a maximum of 20 per cent; requiring that not less than 80 per cent of those employed by contractors on public works shall be Indiana residents and at least 50 per cent of them residents of the

FIND CLEW TO BROAD RIPPLE BANK BANDITS Car Used in Getaway May Have Been Stolen in Chicago, Belief. A Chevrolet coach abandoned by a bank bandit gang fleeing from the Broad Ripple State bank after shooting a man in an unsuccessful attempt to rob It Thursday, may have been stolen from a salesman in Chicago, Monday night, police believe. Police in Memphis, Term., in a long distance call to Police Chief Jerry Kinney, said a car answering to its description was taken from Charles C. Cason of Memphis, in Chicago then. Rear seat of the car had been removed by Cason to make room for sample cases, and in the rear of the coach used here Thursday, the seat had been replaced by boards. Detectives today were seeking an insurance collector whose license plates are said to have been on a black sedan similar to the Studebaker in which the bandits escaped. Charles W. Parr, custodian of the lank building, shootingvictim, is in a critical condition at city hospital. Detectives said they were confident the insurance collector was not one of the bandits, but a motorist who provided the latest clew to direction cf the gang's flight, reported his license on the car. The insurance collector did not appear at home Thursday night, but reported for work today.

ILLNESS ENDED IN SHORT TIME “Has Never Returned,” Says Indianapolis Lady In Praise of Konjola, The New Medicine. Konjola is not designed to afford mere temporary relief.

It is not unlike thousands of others with which the Konjola Man at the Hook Dependable Drug Store, Illinois and Washington streets, this city, is familiar. See him today, but right now read the experience of Mrs. Browning: • I suffered for a number of years with a complication of ailments. I ate but little and even this food caused bloating and gas pain. My kidneys were weak and I suffered terribly from liver trouble. Dizzy spells, headaches, and spots before the eyes occurred daily. Constipation bothered me and I was finally attacked by rheumatism and neuritis. “I tried many medicines and treatments for relief, but not until, at the urgent request of a friend. I tried Konjola. did I find health. Eight bottles of this great medicine completely banished all my ailments, and. although it has been nearly three years since I stopped taking Konjola. none of my aliments has ever returned." This great medicine has become the most widely discussed compound in •America in a few short years simply by making good. The Konjola Man is at the Hook ; Dependable Drug store.
