BITTER WORDS MARK DEFEAT OF LABOR BILL Both Railroads and Unions Rapped in House Over 'Full Crew’ Measure. 58 TO 37 VOTE FATAL Efforts to Make Special Order of Business and Call Absentees Beaten. Labor sustained its first serious loss In the Indiana house of representatives late Monday when the "full crew bill” was voted into indefinite postponement, 58 to 37, on its second reading. Sponsored by Representatives William H. Lee (Dem., Gibson); William McClain (Posey, Vanderburg and Warrick); John F. Ryan •Dem., Vigor, William E. Wilson 'Dem., Hancock and Madison;, and Howard S. Grimm (Rep., Dekalb), the was the subject of acrimonious and personal debate before it was defeated. Substantially, its provisions required railroads to use ‘‘full crews” of five men on trains operating outside railroad yards and contained various limitation clauses on length of trains. Repreesntative Earl Crawford 'Rep., Wayne), Republican caucus chairman, led the fight for indefinite postponement, assailing the limitation clause. “We can’t handle this sort of legislation from a state standpoint and we can't have freight rates equalized if railroads have to operate in Indiana under a different system on through traffic than that in neighboring states,” Crawford asserted. He was joined in this view by Representative H. H. Evans 'Rep., Henry). Charges ‘Crooked Work’ There never has been such damnable, dirty and crooked work by the railroads as there has been in this session to defeat this bill,” declared Representative Fred S. Gallotvay (Dem., Marion). Waving a handful of petitions, Galloway shouted; "Look at the names on these petitions against the bill by ’railroad workers.’ You’ll find a lot Os them were ‘scabs’ in the 1922 strike and now have good jobs with the railroads.” Declaring the measure is one of the mast important labor bills to be introduced at this session, Representative Howard S. Grimm (Rep., Dekalb) tried to forestall a vote and make the bill a special order of business for today. Shouts of “question, question" drowned his demand, however, and Hie proposal was lost. Thrust at Unions “I question the good faith oi the unions in backing this law,” assert ad Representative John D. T. Bold (Dem., Vanderburg. “Railroads are paying two-thirds of the taxes in a lot of communities and if you pass a law of this kind, you’ll force more of these little branch lines out, of, business. “You don’t see these gentlemen (the house labor delegation) making any effort to pass bus and truck legislation and it, is the busses and trucks opposition that are making things tough for the railroads. As a matter of fact,” continued Bold. "I believe the railroad workers tried to make a. deal with the railroads by agreeing to unite on truck and bus regulatory laws if the railroads would assent, to the full crew demand, and were refused.” Representative McClain, one of the bill’s co-authors, made an especially slighting reference to Bold's honesty. The latter immediately declared such personal remarks had no place in a floor debate and was supported by cries from several members of, ‘that’s right, withdraw them!” Speaker Myers also objected to the impropriety of McClain’s remarks and McClain retorted: “Well. I apologize.” . When the bill was defeated.’McClain moved the absentees be called, but was voted down. ORDERS BARBECUES TO PUT BAN ON MINORS Sheriff Sumner Warns Owners Arrests May Be Forthcoming. Sheriff Charles (Buck) Sumner today warned barbecue proprietors against, permitting minors to frequent night dances. Following a conference with Juvenile Judge John F. Geckler, Sumner announced charges will be filed against all barbecue operators allowing minors in dances, except when accompanied by parents. Sumner pointed out that a raid Saturday night at a Keystone avenue barbecue disclosed scores of children were permitted to dance.

‘Yellow Dog’ Bill Now Needs Only Name of Leslie

Governor Harry G. Leslie today is faced with dealing the final death blow to “yellow dog” labor contracts in Indiana and thus putting the state on record as among the more progressive in the matter of labor legislation. Complete victory for organized labor in Indiana was scored when the anti-yellow dog labor contract bill was passed in the senate Monday afternoon by a vote of 41 to 1. Senator Frank C. Holman ' (Dem , Lake), a Hammond contractor, cast the only vote against the measure. The bill had previously been passed by the house. When and if the bill receives the Governor’s signature, contracts which forbid workers to join a union will be outlawed in this state and the declared policy of the state government will be in opposition to such coercion. Certain Indianapolis firms are operating under “yellow dog” contracts and the measure was fought vigorously by the Indiana Manufacturers’ Association.

STATE DIVIDED IN 11 DISTRICTS Marion County Cut Three Ways in G. 0. P. Plan. Marion country would be cut three ways, with Center township alone constituting the Eighth district under the congressional reapportionment plan introduced in the Indiana senate Monday bearing the names of seventeen Republican senators. The measure splits the state into eleven districts and carries provision for the election of a twelfth representative at large. The latter would be nominated in state convention. Ralph Adams (Rep., Fayette, Rush and Shelby), and officials of the Republican state committee who had resented charges they were unwilling to meet Democrats “half way” in reapportioning the state for twelve representatives in place of the present thirteen. A Democratic reapportionment proposal, drafted by Senator Chester A. Perkins (St. Joseph), is being held up in the senate's reapportionment committee. Survey of the proposed new districts reveals that normally the Republicans should, if past performances are an indication, count on six districts as being in their column; First, Second, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth and possibly the Ninth. The Democrats are given the Tenth and Eleventh, and three districts are listed as doubtful, Third, Seventh and Eighth. The Republican majority in the ninth would be exceedingly small, but in normal elections it might suffice, it was pointed out. WIFE PLOT Tells Police of Husband's Robbery Scheme. By United Press CHICAGO, Feb. 17.—A young wife’s desire to save her husband from "going to the dogs” foiled a plot to steal a widow’s fortune of $40,000, and landed the- husband and two companions in jail here.

By United Press WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.—Mayor William Hale Thompson of Chicago, was accorded thanks ‘for his praiseworthy services in connection with Mississippi flood control legislation,” in a resolution adopted unanimously today by the house flood control committee.

This is the second article of a series on the investigation of the slaying of the Russian czar. BY SAMUEL DASHIELL United Press Staff Correspondent PARIS, Feb. 17—The rescue of the remains of the Russian imperial family, three boxes of personal objects, clothes, jewelry and papers, together with one tragic corded casket containing charred bones and ashes, was accomplished only with the aid of faithful allied officers under the protection of an allied train to Harbin from Moscow.

VOTE CHANGING PUNS FAIL TO WIN SUPPORT Strong Opposition Displayed in Senate to Primary and Registration. BOTH MEASURES LOST Indefinite Postponement Fate Fixed by Decisive Majorities. Primary and permanent registration legislation will be given scant attention in the senate, it appeared today. Senators made short shrift of bills dealing with these matters when they came to the floor on committee reports Monday afternoon. Both bills were backed by Senator John S. Alldrcdge (Rep., Madison). The primary bill received a minority committee report for passage, while the registration bill was recommended unanimously for indefinite postponement. “Because 90 per cent of the professional politicians are opposed to the primary, I believe that the people want it and need it,” Alldredge told the senate in pleading for adoption of the minority committee report for passage of the primary bill. He contended his bill was both “equitable and inexpensive.” Proposed 1915 Status It would restore the primary to the 1915 status, putting both Governor and United States senator on the primary ballot and providing for male and female precinct committeemen and vice-committeemen. The man or woman receiving the highest vote would be precinct committeeman and the one of the opposite sex with the highest vote would be vicecommitteeman. Although complete primary repeal was urged in the legislative message of Governor Harry G. Leslie, Senator Lee J. Hartzel (Rep., Allen and Noble), Republican floor leader, spoke for the minority report. adoption. "I am for the primary law first, last and all the time,” the senator declared. “If this bill doesn't suit us, bring it out on second reading and we can amend and fix it. Here in the senate we should make a primary law that will be a credit to our state.” Offices of Governor and United States senator were removed from the primary ballot by the 1929 legislature, effective in 1932. The move was backed by the Republican state committee. ’ Urges Test of New Law Senator James J. Nejdl (Rep., Lake) took the floor for indefinite postponement of the Alldredge bill on the grounds that the action taken by the Republican senate in 1929 had “not yet been tried.” As chairman of the elections committee he had signed the majority committee report to indefinitely postpone the Alldredge bill. “We have not given the 1929 law a chance to operate,” Nejdl declared. "To repeal it now would be neither good politics nor good business.” At the close of the debate a division was called for and sixteen senators voted to keep the bill alive and twenty-six to kill it by indefinite postponement. Alldredge then took the floor for his registration bill and Nejdl opposed him again’ The bill was Indefinitely postponed, 25 to 14. The bill would put permanent registration in the hands of county assessors. "I am for a good registration bill,” Nejdl asserted. “But this one is imand silly.”. Senawr Alldredge underwent a third defeat a few minutes later when liis alien registration bill was indefinitely postponed on recommendation of judiciary A committee. Alldredge cast the only vote in its favor.

BANK CONTROL BILL ADVANCES TO SENATE Measure Limiting Legal Work Passes House 58 to 39. The Indiana house of representatives today passed on to the senate for further action the McClain bill prohibiting banks and trust companies from drawing wills or performing other legal services and from soliciting such business. Passage was by the comparatively close vote of 58-39 and featured by more explanations from members on their vote than any measure passed by the house flips far. Reptesentative John F. White • Dem., Marion) spoke against the measure, asserting “attorneys are supposed to hr„ve high legal ethics about advertising, but they come here to the legislature for the passage of special legislation. Business affiliations were forgotten, apparently, in the voting. Representative Edward E. Eikenbary (Dem., Wabash), an attorney, spoke against the bill and Representative Earl Crawford (Dem., Union and Wayne), banker and chairman of the banks committee, voted for its passage.

Leaving Omsk, Admiral Koltchak gave the corded case to the American and told him to take care of it. The leader of the White Army, Koltchak, was later shot, when the train was held up at Irkutsk, but the allied train tinder an American flag, pullef through to Harbin.

JOKE FARMER BILL SHELVED _______________ t Measure Is Not Printed on Bush’s Order, Although senators rejected the report #to postpone indefinitely the facetious farmer’s pension measure Monday, the bill, contrary to custom, was not printed and laid on their desks today by order of Lieu-tenant-Governor Edgar D. Bush. The bill was introduced as a joke by Senat >r Addison Drake (Dem., Sullivan and Vigo). It provides for pensioning all farmers over 40 and paying the pension bill with the current wheat crop profits. Bush referred the bill to the committee on swamp lands and drains and it was duly reported to be killed. Whereupon, the senators voted to keep it alive, 19 to 7. * A bill putting the state into the industrial insurance business was killed promptly on committee report. Unanimous approval for passage of the poll watchers bill was reported by the elections committee and adopted by the senate. The bill, brought to Hie senate by William Boyce Jr., former Indianapolis city clerk, provides that 26 per cent of primary candidates on any ticket are entitled to a watcher at the polls. The bill is designed to eliminate election control by corruption and miscounting. Senator C. Oliver Holmes (Rep., Lake) permitted his unemployment insurance bill to be killed on committee report with slight defense and in entire good humor. CITY COUNCIL BALKED ON TWO ORDINANCES Suspension of Rules Prevented by One Vote on Two Measures. Two ordinances, one for an appropriation of $200,000 to carry on flood prevention work along the east bank of White river south of the city and the other for $3,397 to purchase anew city hospital emergency ambulance, failed to pass the city council Monday night. George A. Henry, Republican, who/ voted against all suspension of j rules attempts, gave the dissenting ; vote to each measure.

The consular official did not know what a precious burden he guarded until at Harbin four White Russian officers relieved him of the case, saluted and said, “Excellency, you have had the honor of bearing back all that remain of the Russian imperial family.” The other cases had been secreted on the allied train, and Judge Sokoloff managed to get through to Harbin without being detected by the men who shot Koltchak at Irkutsk. Once on friendly soil, the four cases were assembled and put into the hands of the German General Dietrichs, who was a member of Koltchak’s staff, having served in the Czech army. r *

r JPEN young women treked from stuffy offices through the rain to the X Smith-Nelson golf academy, in the Board of Trade building, Monday evening to answer “here” at golf lesson roll call. Thirty minutes later there was a patter-patter-patter sound that resembled a machine gun at Chateau-Thierry, Golf balls were smacking against the canvas nets where winter golfers do their work. The first Indianapolis Times business women's golf class was under way.

The ten young women who wrote essays adjudged the best on “Why I Like to Flay Golf,” were beginning a series of six free golf lessons in the Smith-Nelson academy. She Learns of Error. “Gee. if I never learn another thing I’ll be happy,” said Miss Wilma Lee Taflinger, 1514 East Twelfth street. Miss Taflinger had attempted to play before, but found she was unable to control the driver. Dick Nelson, instructor, immediately discovered she was allowing her left hand to turn over. By the end of the first hour, Miss Taflinger was smacking them against the canvas with he-man force. Miss Maurine Rudolph, 617 North Delaware street, successful as a teacher, adept at, hair dressing, a student in chiropractic, further is determined to learn golf. Miss Goldie Straub. 427 North Chester avenue, soon discovered her heels didn't work so well. Miss Geraldine Relander, 2153 North Dexter avenue, said even though she walks a lot each day, golf at its beginning causes a “catch in the back.” Mrs; Lois Johnson, 601 North Arlington avenue, fpund she could grip the club too tight, those long pointed fingernails warning her of her errors. Cracks ’Em Hard Miss Myrtle Lamkin, 812 North Campbell avenue, soon was cracking them into the canvass. She felt were she on the tee at some course they would be going down the fairway a mile. Marked aptitude was shown at the start by Misses Pat Cronley, 607 North Delaware street; Claire E. Thompson, 405 North Euclid, and Elinore M. Young, 4123 North Capitol avenue, according to Roy Smith. “They are a fine bunch of prospects, said both Nelson and Smith. “We are more than positive that the first ten girls are certain to become fine golfers.’’ Miss Mildred White. 234 Bankers Trust building, tired from swinging

Dietrichs, being subject to the orders of the French General Janin, then in command of the allied forces in Siberia, appealed to the Frenchman to assume charge of the imperial remains. General Janin, a sympathetic friend and one time confidant of the Czar Nicholas 11, first appealed to the British government officials to assume charge of the remains, but was refused. General Janin then took charge of the four cases, and their travels about from port to port in order to evade Bolshevik seizure, or spying, finally brought them to Trieste, whence they were sent to France, always with some watchful guard-

HOUSE VOTES AGAINST DRY LAWJHANGE Medicinal Whisky Measure Loses After Debate by 50-45 Vote. REPEAL BILL UP NEXT Final Assault on Wright Act Almost Certain * to Be Crushed. One more attack on the Wnght bone dry law remains for members of the Indiana house of representatives who late Monday were defeated. 50 to 45, in their efforts to avert indefinite postponement of the bill to permit the prescription and sale of medicinal whisky. The last chance will be the Gal-loway-Egan bill providing for outright repeal of the Wright dry law, which is expected to be handed in Wednesday by the public morals committee on a divided report with the majority for indefinite postponement. The bill's death by a larger margin than was fatal to the prescription bill is regarded certain. The debate on the medicinal whisky bill was the bitterest of the session. It broke up with Representative John D. T. Bold (Dem., Vanderburg), ardent wet, issuing this challenge: “It looks as if the members of this house as of five other houses preceding it will bow their backs and take the orders of the Anti-Saloon League and the W. C. T. U.. the forces of bigotry and the forces of intolerance. • ‘Falsehood’ Is Charged “The representatives of the dry league lied deliberately at a public hearing conducted on this bill the other night on several major points.” Representative Cecil C. Griggs (Rep, Parke), minister, jumped to his feet and shouted “the AntiSaloon League did not lie. It and the W. C. T. U. are composed of honorab e people, and you know that you are saying a falsehood.” All over the floor, representatives sprang to their feet shouting "point of order” and “throw him out.” Griggs’ remarks were lost in the noise and this debate, which followed the killing of the bill, was closed by the speaker. Democrats Divided The Republican minority of the house under the leadership of Representative Miles Furnas (Randolph), Republican caucus chairman, again rallied to the support of the Anti-Saloon League and the W. C. T. U., with twenty-two of its twenty-five members voting to kill the bill. The Democratic house majority did not earn a “wet” label because twenty-eight of its seventy-five house members, including its leaders, Representative Delph McKesson (Marshall), majority floor leader, and Earl Crawford (Union and Wayne), caucus chairman, voted for indefinite postponement. White Opened Debate Representative John F. White (Dem., Marion), who signed the majority report for passage, made the opening appeal for adoption of the report. Proponents of the bill objected to presence on the floor of Mrs. Elizazeth Stanley, state W. C. T. U. president; L, E. York, state dry league superintendent, and Ethan A. Miles, dry league attorney. The two men went outside the railing while Furnas and McKesson put up a heated defense for their presence.
