REPEAL STAMPEDE BY STATES LOOMS AFTER HOUSE VOTE Caucus Reveals Vast Majority Will Be Given Garner-Blaine Resolution Monday in Ballot. ASSEMBLIES READY TO RUSH ACTION Maryland Promises It Will Be First to Ratify; La Guardia Move for U. S. to Conduct Conventions to Lose. BY WALKER STONE Timr* Staff Writer WASHINGTON, Feb. 18.—The prohibition repeal stampede vas evident throughout ’the country today, with assurances from Washington that the house Monday will concur in the action of the senate and resubmit the eighteenth amendment to the states. A vote of 300 house members for the Garner-Blaine repeal resolution was predicted by jubilant wets following the Democratic caucus Friday. Only thirty Democrats asked to lie excused from the caucus action pledging the party support. The caucus vote was 115 to 16. In contrast, forty-four Democrats were recorded against the repeal resolution when it was before the house on the opening day of the session last December and failed of passage by six votes.

Therefore, 190 Democrats are hound, under the caucus rule, to vote for the resolution. Os course, some who did not attend the caucus may ask later to he excused. Republican whip Carl G. Bachmann estimates that 100 Republicans will vote for the resolution. Only 104 Republicans voted for it in December, when it fell six votes short of two-thirds. The enthusiasm with which the legislators in various states capitals are greeting the prospect of a showdown, bears out the contention of wets that the nation is overripe for repeal action. From Annapolis comes the promise of Governor Albert C Ritchie that Maryland will be the first state to ratify repeal. The legislature, now in session, is ready to set up ratification machinery, he said. In Texas, drys and wets agreed that the vote should be held immediately. One dry leader has adopted the suggestion of a state-wide vote, the delegates to be appointed at large, one wet delegate for each 10,000 wet votes, and one dry for each 10,000 dry votes. Such a plan would prevent gerrymandering of districts and stacking of the convention with rural drys. A majority of both houses of the Texas legislature are reported favorable to resubmission. A San Francisco assemblyman is drafting a bill providing for the election of convention delegates at a special election this year. Each candidate to be required to state publicly his stand on repeal before his name is placed on the ballot. The bill will be presented when the preponderantly wet California legislature reconvenes Feb. 28. In Madison. Speaker Cornelius of the Wisconsin legislature announced that provisions for a convention would be enacted immediately after the repeal resolution is passed by congress. Meanwhile the situation is somewhat confused in Washington, in view of the statement of Representative F. H. La Guardia (Rep., N. Y.i, that, if the house passes the resolution Monday, he will at once introduce a bill providing the funds and setting up the machinery for the state conventions. Representative La Guardia argues that congress, and not the various . state legislatures, should supervise the conventions. Such eminent constitutional lawyers. however, as Senators Thomas Walsh. William Borah. George Norris and Sam G. Bratton, hold that congress has not the power to compel the states to hold conventions. The La Guardia proposal i s destined for the pigeonhole, at least for the remainder of this session. Speaker John H. Garner said Friday night that congress would not even consider calling the conventions until the state legislatures have had time to act. Discipline Is Faced /?;/ linns tipi rial WASHINGTON, Feb. 18.—Congressmen Louis Ludlow of Indianapolis, and Arthur Greenwood of Washington, Ind., are among the thirty die-hard Democratic drys who refused to be bound by the party caucus vote to support the GarnerBlaine resolution. Asa consequence, the two Hoosier representatives may be severely disciplined by the party, the caucus action, it is understood, was inspired by President-Elect Franklin D. Rooselt, who is determined that the Democrats in congress must make good on party platform pledges. Representative Ludlow, touted as a candidate for the Democrabc steering committee in the next session. probably will be turned down by his colleagues, and Representative Greenwood, who actively is seeking a place on the powerful ways and means committee, faces almost certain defeat. The two ultra-dry Indianans asked to be excused from voting according to the caucus decision, on the ground that such a vote would be contrary to their express promises to their respective constituencies.

The Indianapolis Times Fair tonight and probably Sunday: lowest temperature tonight about 27; warmer Sunday.

By United J'ress DENVER, Col., Feb. 18.—Hope for the safe return of Charles Boettcher 11, kidnaped Denver millionaire, ebbed slowly today as police reported only failure from their latest search.

WOUNDED MAN DIES; JEALOUS HUSBAND HELD Murder Charge Is Preferred Following Death of Shooting Victim. WITNESS IS RELEASED Slain Man ‘Paid Too Much Attention to Wife,’ Police Assert. Gilbert Leonard, 343 South Walcott street, was reslated on charge of murder today after Thomas Hook, 21, of 32 South Arsenal avenue, died at city hospital shortly after 9 Friday night of wounds alleged to have been inflicted with a sawed-off shotgun by Leonard. The shooting climaxed a quarrel at Leonard s home Thursday night, during w’hich it is said Leonard accused Hook of ‘ paying too much attention to my wife.” According to police, Hook, a former roomer at the Leonard home who had been ordered to leave by the husband several months ago, returned to the house Thursday night armed with a rifle.

I wen to the front door and Hook pointed the revolver at me. We had a fight during whic I was knocked down.”

BEER TAX CUT IN SENATE BILL Measure Sets Levy at $1.24 a Barrel; Minority Report Drafted. As reported from the senate public policy committee today, the administration beer control bill fixes a tax at 4 cents a gallon, or $1.24 a barrel, in place of the house provision setting the tax at $1.55 a barrel. Home brew 7 and W’ine are exempt from tax or regulation. Considered as concessions to wets, these amendments, along with those reducing all license fees, are expected to be adopted by the senate in the form recommended by the committee. Senator Elias C. Sw’ihart (Dem., Elkhart), joined by Senator Will Brown (Rep., Hebron), are expected to spring a surp-iss this morning with a minority committee report. This will substitute the liquor bill introduced in last summer’s special session by Senator Jacob Weiss (Dem., Indianapolis), then a member of the lower house. Both Swihart and Brown are drys and have been flighting the repeal of the Wright law, as well as the bill to regulate and tax beer. The amendment Swihart is considering, patterned on the old Weiss measure, contains provisions repealing the Wright law and providing medicinal liquor, as well as other features of the federal Volstead law. All references to a beer czar, to number of breweries, and to collection of taxes and license fees arc omitted. It was indicated this morning that the surprise move by Swihart would cause a lively debate, but that the administration side easily would prevent any material change in the majority report. Wabash Schools to Close Early By United Press WABASH. Ind., Feb. 18.—Depleted funds will necessitate closing of Wabash city schools early in May, at the close of an eight-month term, O. J. Neighbors, superintendent, announced today.

Minkner street, occupants of the car, are alleged to have emerged from the vehicle, entering the plant with Lakin and Phillips. Here a fight occurred and Kelly was beaten on the head with a blunt instrument. Stansberry was bruised. When deputy sheriffs arrived Kelly was found on the floor in a unconscious condition. Earlier in the evening, it was said, Stansberry* went to the home of Miss Amey Winkler, 23, of 121 Koehne street, taking her to the Kelly home. Kelly, his wife, and a small baby got* inter Stansberry's car with Miss Winkler and Miss Enda Robbins, of 129 East St. Joe streets. While the six persons were riding Kelly is said to have argued with his wife, who was driving, about being on the wrong road. In the argument, the three women fled from the car as it was halted in front of the milk company plant.

Zangara to Be Arraigned Monday; ‘Railroading’ Is Prevented. By Ini ted Press MIAMI, Fla., Feb. 18.— Formal arraignment of Giuseppi Zangara on charges of assault with intent to kill, was postponed today until Monday, to give alienists a chance to make a complete report on the would-be assassin's mental condition. County Solicitor Charles A. Morehead agreed to postponement at the request of the three leading Miami attorneys appointed Friday as defense counsel. i Their action was taken, it was said, to prevent possibility of ' charges being made that the little Italian bricklayer was being “railroaded" to prison because of heat--1 ed public opinion. Cermak Much Better Zangara himself, who was to have been arraigned at 10 a. m. today, still was represented as being anxious to plead guilty to the four counts against him, and to accept whatever sentence the court might impose. Mayor Anton J. Cermak of Chicago, who has spent his life fighting, first for wealth and then for political power, appeared today to be winning his battle against the effects of the assassin’s bullet. The Chicago mayor slept peacefully through the night, and his physcians for the first time felt confident enough to express a belief that he would recover. Condition of Woman Critical His five physicians, including his personal medical attendant who came here from Chicago and his son-in-law, found his condition so satisfactory late in the night that they left the hospital and sought rest themselves. They said that he was continuing his “favorable course." Mrs. Joseph Gill, wife of a utilities magnate, who was shot down with Cermak and three others by Zangara in his unsuccessful attempt to kill President-Elect Roosevelt Wednesday night, was holding her own, but her condition remained critical. The other wounded were out of danger. Cermak has shown amazing stamina for a man of his years, and it was believed he would recover unless pneumonia set in, or his heart gave way under the strain. Jovial With Visitors Pneumonia, it was pointed out, always is a menace to a person past middle age whose system suffers a severe shock, and since in this case the bullet penetrated just below the tip of the lung, the chance of pneumonia w T as increased. But no sign of congestion had appeared, and Cermak’s easy sleep through the night gave added encouragement. “We have every hope for his ultimate recovery,” his doctors said in a signed bulletin early today. Mayor Cermak was jovial withvisitors, and his fine morale was regarded as an important factor in his chance for recovery. DALE FACES BLINDNESS Mayor Ordered to Bed by Doctors; Eye Ailment Is Serious.

Vote Assured Soon on Costigan-La Follette, Wagner Bills. NO OPPOSITION SEEN Opinion Is General That Further Steps to Help Jobless Are Needed. BY RUTH FINNEY Times Staff Writer WASHINGTON, Feb. 18— The senate will adopt anew federal relief measure, perhaps before nightfall, it seemed certain today. Agreement to limit debate on the Costigan-La Follette and Wagner reilef bills now under discussion assured a vote on them before long, and so far no opposition to the general proposal of granting further relief is evident. A year ago the senate would not consent to any steps for relief of destitution. Seven months ago, it passed the R. F. C. relief loan act after weeks of wrangling. At present, there seems no disposition to deny the need for more relief and only the manner of giving it is being debated. Choice Is Narrowed ■Whichever bill finally is adopted, the senate has agreed that government loans for public construction work need no longer be based on the present self-liquidating requirement. The proposal of Senator Robert F. Wagner (Dem., N. Y.) that loans may be made hereafter for public work which the R. F. C. finds is needful and in the public interest, was added to the La Follette-Costigan relief bill, Friday, with consent of the authors. That narrow’s the issue between the two relief bills down to a choice between direct grants, distributed to states by a special relief board and a continuation of loans distributed by the R. F. C. The La FolletteCostigan bill provides for grants, the Wagner plan for loans. The first would permit expenditure of $500.000,000, thme second of $300,000,000, Senators Will Plead Southern senators are disputing whether any of the relief monflj; shall be used for administration purposes. Senator Walter F. George (Dem., Ga ), seeks to prevent such expenditures. A vote will be taken on this issue early today. Both Senators La Follette and Edward P. Costigan will plead for adoption of their relief plan before a vote is taken, urging that adequate relief only can be obtained through control by a board specially appointed for that work, and that further loans to local governments only will result in local defaults and impairment of credit. Testimony at recent hearings of the senate manufacturers’ committee showed that the present connection between highway aid and relief loans has caused a conflict of interest between the two, and between rural and urban districts. Numerous witnesses expressed a belief that establishment of a federal relief system would result in more uniform and more economical administration as w r ell as more adequate standards. INCLUDE GAS STATIONS IN CHAIN TAX BILL' Measure to Be Reported From Senate Finanre Committee Today. Gasoline and oil stations are to be included in the chain store tax bill, as reported from the senate finance committee today. Larger chains will be required to pay higher fees than formerly, under terms of amendments. Tax schedule, as proposed by the committee, is: One store, $3; two to five stores, $lO each; six to ten, S2O each; eleven to twenty, S3O eaeh, and more than twenty, $75 each. Present law fixes the schedule at $3, $lO, sls, S2O and $25 for corresponding numbers of stores. POLICE CHIEF GETS POST Peru Man New Head of State Criminal Identification Bureau. Karl Burkandt. chief of the Peru police department, has been appointed by Governor Paul V. McNutt to the position of chief of the criminal identification bureau. He succeeds Charles E.
