TWS RELATIVE 'ACCEPTS TRUTH OF DEATH STORY Guardian Refuses Grand I Duke’s Demand for Remains. T U 0,6 ,Mt of MrU* *f artlcte* i • the death of the Russian Csar. BY SAMUEL OASHIELL „ United Press Staff Correspondent PARIS, Feb. 19. —Despite the fact that the Grand Duke Cyril, pretender to the Russian throne, has made a formal request for the purported remains of the imperial famM. Michel de Giers, present custodian of them, steadily refuse on the grounds that they belong to the Russians as a whole,and so must be held until an official monarch is named. Grand Duke Cyril, hearing that the former Russian ambassador to Home, de Giers, was custodian of the remains, made an official request, but de Giers still maintains his secrecy regarding the four cases containing the remains and relics of the imperial family. The proof that the remains and relics of the imperial family are in these boxes, is convincing enough to Grand Duke Cyril and living Viembers of the royal family, although some doubt surrounds the x |acts of the story. Proof Believed Complete The Grand Duke Alexander, one of the most prominent of the famVj, believes that tire White Russian Judge Sokoloff’s investigations at Ekaterinburg were based on documentary fact and that the proof is undeniable. Prince Nicholas Orloff, commenting on the Sokoloff investigation, declared: “Sokoloff was a man cf unquestioned honor and probity. He would not have undertaken such a Mission and carried it out if he had not measured every step. “I consider Sokoloff’s Investigation as absolutely definite and requiring but few additional proofs to make it obvious that the caskets now in Monsieur de Giers’ possession contain the ashes of the imperial family.” Disagrees With Sokoloff • The Count Kokovtzoff, former premier of Russia, who is also president of an association of Russians committed to preserve the memory of Nicholas 11, is inclined to disagree with Judge Sokoloff, but nevertheless observes that a complete investigation must be made when the time is opportune. It is notable that in the boxes there are more than three hundred pieces of evidence and it is stated that these should provide sufficient evidence as to whether or not the remains are those of the emperor end his family. Captain W. Dimitrief, former military attache at Paris, who has studied the proofs submitted by de Giers, stated that Grand Duke Nicholas did not refuse to accept the custody of the imperial remains because he doubted their authenticity, but because he did not believe himself qualified to accept such a heavy responsibility. ■•The grand duke considered that M. de Giers would be the. most logical person to guard them and keep intact the various legal proofs of their authenticity,” the captain said.

Another section provides for the annual purchase of not less than SIO,OOO worth of fingerling black bass and suitable game fish. The bill was introduced by Representative ti. H. Evans (Rep., Henry).

JOB BODY PROPOSED Stabilization Commission Bill Offered in House. Intended to curb unemployment during depressions, a bill for creations of a state employment stabilization commission was among the deluge loosed in the Indiana house Wednesday. Representative Fred S. Galloway fDem., Marion) and William J. Black (Dem., Madison) were the authors. The bill would require the Governor to appoint a commission of three to serve without pay other than expense, one to represent employers, one employes and one “the public at large.” The commission would advise the Governor when periods of business depression appeared in prospect, and it would become the Governor’s duty to advise the next succeeding legislature on steps toward construction of public works to counteract unemployment. The Governor also would seek co-operation of local governmental units in advancing public works.

Indiana Boy Amazes Mother “Jimmie’s stomach was often upset and he suffered a lot from colas,” says Mrs. Louis Vaughn, 247 So. Randolph St., Indianapolis. “He was feverish and his breath was bad. I found he was constipated. “My mother used California Fig Syrup with us, so I decided to give Jimmie some. It surely surprised me to see how quickly it stopped his feverishness, cleared his breath and tongue, regulated his bowels; made him a strong and energetic boy again.” The quick, safe way to cleanse and regulate the bowels of bilious, headachy, constipated children is with California Fig Syrup. Give it. at the first sign of bad breath, coated tongue, listlessness or feverishness. Every child loves rich, fruity flavor and it acts without griping or discomfort. Appetite is increased by its use; digestion is assisted; weak stomach and bowels are given tone and strength. For fifty years, doctors have endorsed this pure vegetable product. The genuine is always marked by the word California. Look for that when buying or you may get an imitation. LAXATIVE-TONIC for CHILDREN

VOTE TIRADES HALT CHIGA6O LOOPTRAFFIC Charges Ranging From Graft to Lunacy. Shouted by Thompson and Lyle. By United Preu . CHICAGO, Feb. 19. Voices of confident candidates boomed throughout the loop today as charges ranging from graft to lunacy were shouted from theater to theater. Unusually important because the primary winner will be the Republican choice for mayor during the Century of Progress exposition in 1933, and spectacular because of bitter personal attacks by William Hale Thompson and John H. Lyle, the campaign today assumed a seriousness of purpose lost earlier in the sensationalism of the candidates. In addresses broadcast by loudspeakers through the loop, Mayor Thompson continued referring to “that nutty Judge” and his "jackass show’’ at the Cort theater went on. Judge Lyle still returned the “compliments’* In kind. But for the most part both candidates and a third opponent, Alderman Arthur F. Albert, turned to a more serious discussion of the issues. Traffic was halted at noon Wednesday while thousands of loop workers stood In the streets, listening to the candidates assail each other through the air and each candidate had from three to five such meetings scheduled for today. While the candidates were speaking, a group of lawyers met in another theater and condemned Lyle for using “high-handed and burlesque” methods on the bench. Lyle, in turn, condemned them, charging that all were members of the “Thompson machine,” and supported the mayor “because it was profitable for them to do so.’* Mother of Three Kills Self By Times Special GARY, Ind., Feb. 19.—Mrs. Barbara Novosel, 30, mother of three children whose husband has been unemployed for three months, committed suicide at her home by swallowing poison.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

In Legislature 50 Years Ago

Bt United Pres* Abolition of prison methods of punishing “females on their naked bodies,” was recommended to the legislature in 1881 by a committee appointed to investigate affairs at the state women’s prison. Instigation of the investigation followed accusations made in Chicago and Cincinnati newspapers that the prisoners were treated in a “cruel and inhuman fashion.” The committee report was highly favorable .to the institution heads. It was urged, however, that punishment by isolation take the place of physical pun shment. A separate reformatory for girls under 14 also was recommended. At that time, women of all ages were sent to the prison, which was divided into punishment and reformatory sections.

been reminded that "Italy Is rushing construction.” Marine Minister Charles Dumont declared “the navy is the guarantee of French security and colonial integrity. Therefore, we need a modern navy.” Recent efforts of Great Britain to persuade France to delay her building program appeared wiped out by the chamber’s decision. The only determined stand against the huge naval appropriation, exceeding that of last year by about $5,320,000, came from the Socialists who attempted to clip about $1,600,000 from the budget. The Socialist amendment was rejected, 450 votes to 150. Thieves Take 26 Hogs NEWCASTLE, Ind., Feb. 19.
