MOBILIZE DRY RANKS TO BALK VOTE ON BEER Leaders Don’t Want Wets to Make Another Display of Their Strength. By Rrrippx-ffav.ard Setcepaper Alliance WASHINGTON, March 23.—Dry law leaders are mobilizing their forces in the senate to prevent a vote on the Bingham 4 per cent oeer bill. Although they are confident they oave sufficient votes to prevent its oassage they do not want the wets o make another display of strength is they did in the house two weeks igo when 187 congressmen voted on .he wet side. They fear such a test would prove Icmorallzing to them in their effort ,o prevent referendum or repeal olatforms from being adopted by he Democratic and Republican national conventions. The Bingham bill was reported favorably by a subcommittee of the manufacturers' committee, but before it reaches the senate there must be a favorable report from the full committee. When Senator Robert La Follette, chairman, returns from Wisconsin next week the full committee will be assembled. A poll of the committee shows a 6-to-6 division. Senators La Follette, Metcalf <R. I.), Davis 'Pa.), Cutting <N. M.), Wheeler <Mont.) and Buckley (O.) are expected to vote for the bill. Senators McNary (Ore.), Goldsborough (Md.), Hatfield (W. Va.i, Smith (8. C.), Sheppard (Tex.) and Costigan (Colo.) are expected to vote against it. The bill would amend the Volstead law to authorize 4 per cent beer. Should it fail, Bingham will offer his plan as an amendment to the tax bill when it reaches the senate. The subcommittee reported that a 2-cent-a-bottle tax will produce a minimum of $347,000,000 in revenue while a 4-cent tax might raise as much as $1,100,000,000.

ONLY an X-ray and an ear attuned to catch the faintest whisper can make a reasonable attempt to unravel the tangled skein of plot and counterplot that now is Democratic politics. Having neither of these attributes, let’s take a look at developments of the last few weeks and attempt to figure out the plays. Leaders of the Mayr secretary of state faction seem to be letting up a trifle in what has been their unbending hatred toward Paul V. McNutt, former legion head and outstanding contender for the Governor nomination, and now say that their fight really is directed against reelection of R. Earl Peters, state chairman. Managers of the Mayr group are attempting to obtain a trade with McNutt and his supporters whereby, if they agree to side with them in the fight against Peters, all the patronage strength of the secretary of state will be thrown to the aid of the legion leader. n n t> So far, the overtures have not met. with marked success, because, as it is pointed out, the state chairman Controls the state convention machinery. As long as Peters Is chairman, McNutt will be in control, but in event that Peters is ousted, the new chairman, as the selection of the Mayr group, will be in a position seriously to injure the McNutt candidacy. Therefore, they argue, it is best to stick to Peters. On the other hand, many McNutt leaders are suggesting that it would be a good idea to bring out a candidate against the secretary of state in the convention and defeat him for renomination. This would break a time-honored custom of both parties that a state official elected to a 2-year office should have a shot at two terms. n n tt The boomerang in the plan is that the state secretary is nominated before the state treasurer, auditor, and superintendent of public instruction, all of whom are said to be out and out supporters of McNutt. If Mayr should be defeated for renomination, his friends and appointees would turn their envenomed swords against other officials and whether or not they succeeded in retaliating, the Democratic party would be. torn by a bitterness that would take years to assuage. At present, there always is the possibility of healing breaches as long as there is a prospect of winning all state offices and thus finding trough room for the hungry members of the party’s rank and file.

DEATHS CAUSE DEMAND FOR GAS HEATER BAN Gary Health Officer Asks Law to Protect Householders. By United Prctn GARY, Ind., March 23. An ordinance to prohibit installation of gas water heaters in bathrooms is sponsored here by Dr. W. H. Behn, Gary health officer. He believes it will prevent many deaths. The recent case of a 16-year-old schoolgirl here who was suffocated by fumes from a heater is thought to have prompted Dr. Behn’s action. Several fatalities have resulted, directly or indirectly, from this type of heater, according to Behn. The fumes, like those of an auto motor, are difficult to detect. Dr. Behn said the penalty for violation of the ordinance would be fixed by the city attorney.

BUILDING TAKEN AWAY PIECE AT TIMEJOR FUEL Kindergarten Site Is Razed Little by Little; $20,000 Lost by Ralston. Ground at Sixteenth street and Martindale avenue, once site of a kindergarten building, today is barren, the structure having been removed, piecemeal, by housewrecking thieves. Loss of the structure is bemoaned by Glenn B. Ralston, who said that in the last few months, house thieves have dismantled $20,000 worth of structures, owned by him. He said the wood parts of the buildings are used by the thieves to provide fuel and material for building shacks. However, the kindergarten building theft is more than commonplace. A police officer lives next door, Ralston said, but this fact was no barrier to the looters. Ralston said he has received reports from other sections of the city that building thievery continues each night, despite police and Indianapolis Real Estate Board attempts to block it. Ralston reports his losses were at 609 and 611 Chadwick street, 1516 Lewis street, 610 and 612 South Missouri street and 914 and 916 Mitchell street. Real estate firms which serve as rental agents for property report losses have been heavy in the last few months. In many cases heavy locks have been placed on doors, and windows have been boarded up in an effort to stop the vandalism.
