TWO ELECTION BUIS PASS TO SENATEHANDS Registration and Ballot Separation Measures Win in House. ADDRESSES TO CONTROL Alphabetical Listing Sought in Amendment Fails to Gain Support. Two important election bills were in the senate awaiting action today after passage by the Indiana house late Tuesday.One of these, the Democratic platform pledge voters’ registration

bill passed the house 70 to 24 after Representative Sam Benz (Dem., Crawford and disavowed the party platform as applying to him; while the other provid in g for separate national and state ballots passed 71 to 26 with an almost straight party divisiop. An attempt was made to amend the registration

measure so that the voters would be listed alphabetically instead of by street numbers, but John D, T. Bold (Dem., Vanderburgh) pointed out that in cities this would lead to much confusion and enable rooming houses to be packed with floaters. The amendment was defeated on a voice vote. Deserts Party Pledge “Although the registration bill is a party .platform measure, what does that amount to,” queried Benz. “I run on a platform of my own. I don’t attend party meetings and the people in my county elect me. They do not want this bill and do not need it, therefore I vote against it.” “It is true that this bill is not needed in the sparsely settled rural counties,” said Representative John D. T. Bold (Dem., Vanderburgh), “but it is the metropolitan sections which elect or defeat a Governor or senator; and this measure would protect the ballot cast by the rural voters. Two years ago a Governor was elected by the frauds in the populated areas, and this measure should and must be passed.” ‘‘lndiana is the only state in the Union in which the ballot is not protected against floaters,” contended J. Clinn Ellyson (Dem., Lake). A shot at the bill was taken by James M. Knapp (Wayne), who declared: “‘The minority side tried to amend the bill so that it would be workable; these amendments were not accepted so the measure is not workable and I oppose it.” Declares Bill Workable This was countered by Delph McKesson (Marshall), Democratic floor leader, who said: “I am entirely satisfied with this bill which is so much better and more workable than the one the Republicans tried to force down our throats two years ago.” It was this bill which Governor Harry G. Leslie pocket vetoed after it passed both houses. McKesson also rallied to the defense of the Crawford bill which provides that names of presidential electors be listed on a separate ballot from that of the state and county officials. They also would be separated on machines, Roy Street (Rep., Tippecanoe and Warren), protested that this would cause the scrapping of many machines, but McKesson declared this was not necessary. “The people of Indiana are tired of having officials thrust upon them who rode in on the coattails of others.” he said, and pointed out that “by the time a voter has placed a cross opposite the names of the fifteen electors, he is tired and willing to let the rest of the ticket ride in."

POSTAL RATES LIFT PROBABLE Hoover Expected to Ask Deficit Inquiry. By United Press WASHINGTON, Feb. 18.—A accent letter postage rate is a prospect for next year, authorities here agree. President Hoover’s alarm over the mounting postal deficit has furnished the impetus for an inquiry designed to result in increased postal revenues. He will send to congress, probably today, a message recommending that before adjournment March 4, a special investigating committee be appointed to conduct the inquiry. Personally, the President fears that not only will the 2% per cent letter rate be made necessary, but also that there must be an increase in parcel post rates. The letter rate increase would furnish about $55,000,000 additional revenue, whereas abnut $100,000,000 is needed, it was learned at the White House. A parcel post increase would furnish the difference. There is no idea now of boosting rates on second or third-class matter, because it is generally agreed such increases would drive this business to busses or freight cars.

Nude Body Found in Hotel Room With Knotted Towel on Head. By United Press CHICAGO, Feb. 18. Three theories, that ’She had -committed suicide, suffocated herself accidentally, or had been murdered, were considered today by authorities seeking a solution of the mysterious death of Lillian Anderson, 24, toe dancer. Miss Anderson’s nude body was found on the floor of her hotel room. Physicians believe she had ben dead .four days. The murder theory was accepted at first due to the fact a bath towel was knotted about the dancer’s head, but the suicide and accident theories later were given preference. Lieutenant John J. Benson believed she had been preparing to take a bath when she fell accidentally and that the towel, which she had wrapped about her head to keep her hair up had slipped down and suffocated her. The bathtub was full of water and the faucets were partly open, the overflow running out through the overflow drain. A strange discoloration of the girl’s tongue led physicians to believe she might have been given or taken poison and a post mortem was ordered. Miss Anderson was nude, but a blanket was about her shoulders. Officials believed she might' have used it as a robe. The dancer had been married and her real name was Mrs. Lilian McGreen. A 7-year-old son, Richard, survives her. She had been divorced five years.

INDIANAPOLIS, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 18,1931

QUIZ TO BARE j REAL STATUS 1 OF MURDEN Ogden Promises Opinion to Members of Highway Inquiry Group. |SUPPLY DEALS CITED Commissioner’s Sales to Department Are Under Fire. Senator Charles L. Strey (Rep., Kosciusko and Wabash) announced today that Attorney-General James M. Ogden has promised him an opinion regarding the legal status of Jess Murden (Rep.? Peru) as a member of the state highway commission, within the next twenty-four hours. Because of this promise Strey postponed his plan to summon the attorney-general before the committee to testify regarding failure to give the opinion. Strey is chairman of the senate committee which was created on his resolution to investigate failure of ' the state highway commission to collect more than $3,500,000 in federal aid while it went into debt some $2,500,000 in 1930. Last week he wrote to Ogden asking an opinion regarding legality of Murden’s appointment. Murden has testified before the senate com- ] mittee that he was f selling Ford j products to the highway department previous to his appointment and had since sold them to a contractor working on state road construction near Peru. Letter Cites Law Strey’s letter set out the section of the highway law which appears to bar appointment to the commisj sion on these counts. Having announced last week that I thU probe was closed, the senate ! committee reopened the hearings Tuesday afternoon. James A. Stuart, managing editor of the Indianapolis Star, and Robert A. BUt- ! ler, veteran Indianapolis newspaper- : man and member of the Indianapolis News legislative staff, were summoned to the witness stand. Stuart was questioned regarding Star editorial criticism of the committee’s alleged failure to inquire into the Evansville oridge contract, which was termed “indefensible” in the editorial. Butler testified that three years ago, when the Evansville bridge contract was pending, he became publicity man for a bond house interested in promoting the project as a private investment to be paid by tolls. He was not at that time connected with a newspaper he said. Held Publicity Post His employer was P. W. Chapman & Cos. of Chicago. After visiting editors of Indianapolis and Evansville newspapers to interest them in the private promotion plan and securing approval of John D. Williams —then director of the state highway department—Butler was released from his publicity job, he asserted. Stuart, who proceeded him on the witness sfand, testified he knew nothing of the Chapman company. Under the present contract the Evansville and the Kentucky investment is to be returned in tolls. The Indiana state highway department is to bear this state’s share of the cost, which is estimated at a total of about $2,500,000. blackmallconfessed Bloomington Man Sent to Prison for Threatening Rrother-in-Law.

Vote of 34 to 11 Defeats Judge Election Measure. Sacrificed to “party responsibility” the Indiana State Bar Association’s bill for election of judges on non-partisan ballots was a dead measure in the Indiana senate today. The cry “preserve party responsibility” brought senators of both

ppm Cwß I if#

parties to the slaughter, and the measure, designed to remove the Ruction of the judiciary fro m. politics, was killecP Tuesday after-noon,-34 to 11. Inference that political pressure has swayed the Indiana supreme court in its failure to hand down a decision in the D. C. Stephenson case was made by Senator John L.

ibla c k (Rep., Marion), in the course of heated debate. It followed the contention of | Senator Ira Clouser (Dein., Mont-1 gomery and Putnam), that unless judicial candidates had party backing with the attendant party responsibility, they would become the prey of utilities, holding companies and other groups which might benefit in their election. “Do you think political pressure ever is put on the supreme court?” asked Niblack, seeking to prove that partisan election of judges imposes political obligations upon them. When Clouser said he didn’t know, Niblack continued: “If you don’t think so, look at our j city manager decision. If political pressure hasn’t been put on the state supreme court, why has it, for five j years, failed to hand down the D. C. Stephenson case?.” Senator Earl Rowley (Rep., Laporte and Starke), sounded the keynote of “political responsibility” after Senator J. Clyde Hfffman (Rep., Marion), author of the bill, described it as an effort to free the judiciary from politics.

Ultimatum to House Gives Notice That All Plans Are Acceptable. “Marion county shall not be divided in order to make new districts, but shall remain as one district,” is the ultimatum Marion county representatives will deliver today to the house committee on congress ional reapportionment through their colleague on that body,” said Representative John Bright Webb, Democrat. The county delegation pledged itself to maintain the solidarity of Marion county as one district at a dinner conference Tuesday # night, called by Representative Gerritt M. Bates, who was the host. All Provide for Split All reapportionment proposals submitted to the legislature provide for the partition of Marion county in some manner or another, because of its population of 422,666. Basis for a district is a population of 300,000 or fraction thereof, it was pointed out. Members of the delegation explained, however, that as far as could be ascertained, neither party desired to divide the county. It was argued the Marion county chairman and organization would be at a disadvantage if one section of the county were combined with several other counties in anew district. Patronage One Snag “The Marion county ehainnaa’s voice would be one against several, and it would be practically impossible to elect a district chairman who would be fair to this county,” said Representative Russell J. Dean. “The matter of patronage also would cause bitter contention,” Dean added. Webb was instructed to deliver the Marion county ultimatum to the house committee on reapportionment.

NEW DENIES POSTALLEASE FRAUDCHARGE Former Postal Head Tells Investigators His Record Is Clear. DEFENDS HIS POLICIES Takes Rap at Bartlett for Hinting ‘lmproper Practices.’ BY LAWRENCE SULLIVAN Tima* Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Feb. 18—Unequivocal .denial that he personally had directed one of his aids to sign the name of John H. Bartlett, first assistant postmaster-general, to the celebrated St. Paul postofflce lease, was made by former PostmasterGeneral Harry S. New today before the Blaine postal lease investigating committee. New appeared voluntarily before the committee, which has been investigating postoffice leases during the last six months. Senator John J. Blaine (Rep., Wis.) was the only committee member present as the hearing began today. But Senator Felix Herbert of Rhode Island took his seat as New began to read his long prepared statement. Tells of St. Paul Lease New told the committee that the St. Paul lease originally was negotiated with the postoffice department during the Wilson administration. Later a cancellation clause was taken out of the contract under New’s term as postmastergeneral. Bartlett, who appeared before the committee recently, testified that New had directed Charles F. Trotter, personal assistant to Bartlett, to sign Bartlett’s name to the modified lease. “I suppose I did tell Mr. Trotter to make the memorandum in question, but the statement that I told him to sign Bartlett’s name to it is absolutely untrue, and Mr. Trotter has told you so,’’ New said. New said he always had been opposed to the leasing system. “During the six years I served as postmaster general I made as many annual reports to the President and to congress, in five of which I gavq my disapproval to the leasing system, directing attention to its possible evils and suggesting the wisdom of the government’s building and owning all quaretrs employed in this way,” he said. Watched Leases Closely When a contract for a building was awarded, the disappointed contractors and site owners frequently formed themselves Into a whispering committee and started criticism, often going to the newspapers and making public outcries, he said. “All of these things I realized fully and I undertake to say that no set of government contracts ever awarded received more careful, painstaking and conscientious scrutiny than did the contracts for these buildings, entered into during my administration, and I know I am justified in saying that same statement applies to other administrations. “Every one of these contracts in my day, without a single exception, was made through the bureau of the first assistant, John H. Bartlett. He had complete supervision of every one of them.” New reviewed in detail his own investigations of the St. Paul least, concluding with excerpts from two reports from the department of justice declaring no evidence of fraud or irregularity has been found. He vehemently denied that Janies W. Good, former secretary of war, attorney for the lease holders in the modification negotiations in 192425, had exerted any improper political influence in his effort to have the cancellation clause removed Denies Removal Action New also denied he ever had sought, while postmaster-general, to, bring about the removal of John K. Fessler, United States district attorney at St. Paul about the time, several years ago, that Fessler began presenting the facts of tha postoffice lease to the grand jury. Fessler, however, was removed. New also charged bluntly that personal relations between himself and Bartlett always had been strained. This he attributed to the fact that Bartlett aspired to be postmaster-general himself. Bartlett, who has appeared before the Blaine committee three times in the last month, charged that a virtual monopoly existed in the postofflce lease bidding, during New’s administration of the department. Defends Dead Friend He said that new frequently made the final decision and that in the case of the St. Paul renewal In 1925, the actual signing of the contract was directed personally by New at a conference in the private office of the postmaster-general. “As to my interview with Mr. Good,” New’s prepared statement continued, “I am thankful to be able to say that I am not the type of man to call a man friend in life and then by insinuation and innuendo asperse his good reputation alter he is dead. ‘Mr. Good never asked me to do anything that I thought open to criticism, or that he did either, for that matter. Both in public and private life I am sure he was an honorable man.” As the committee adjourned until 10 o’clock Thursday, Chairman Blaine announced that New would be cross-examined in detail on his statement at the next hearing.
