■ RACE ON TO PUT REPEAL lIP TO VOTERS States Rush to Set Up t Necessary Convention Machinery. MOVE IN NEW YORK Governor Demands Speedy Action; Georgia First in Old South. WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.—Secretary ( State Henry L. Stimson today submitted the amendment which would repeal the prohibition law to the forty-eight stales for ratification or rejection. Rv rnit*ri Pimai The move to submit prohibition to the nation's voters became an open race today. Within a few hours after conpress had sent the Blaine resolution to repeal the eighteenth amendment to the states Monday .legislative action was begun to set . up the necessary convention ma- ** chinery in widely scattered states. In Washington the state department worked far into the night to send to the forty-eight Governors official copies of the Blaine resolution and the proposed amendment. From New York to California, and from Georgia to Washington, legislators rushed to enact laws which would permit the voters to express their views on federal prohibition. Governor Lehman of New York sent a special message to the legislature demanding that it move swiftly to set up ratification machinery. He also asked the state alcohol beverage commisison to rejtf port quickly on proposals to call a P convention. Georgia Fourth in South In t he legislature. New York Democrats and Republicans offered a bill to call a convention April 18 or 25. Thus the Empire state sought to wrest from Wyoming the distinction of being first to ratify the amendment. Wyoming already has enacted a law providing for a convention. In West Virginia plans mere made to draft 'the necessary legislation. Georgia became the first state of the old south to act when resolution for a state convention was offered in the house and referred to committee. Governor Blackwood of 4 * South Carolina said that state's legislature would act Tuesday when it reconvenes. In the remaining eight states ot the old south the outlook was less happpy from an anti-prohibition viewpoint. A survey by the United Press indicated that in mast of them conventions would be called, but the outcome seemed dubious. States Rush Machinery Three southern state legislatures do not meet until next year. They are Virginia. Louisiana and Mississippi. Modification legislation in Arkansas. Tennessee. Alabama and Georgia has not been successful this session. The Florida legislature lneei s in April. Tennessee's legislature definitely is dry. Governor Richie ot Maryland decided to withhold action until the state department has forwarded him a copy of the Blaine resolution. In Massachusetts Governor Elycalled on the legislature to provide the convention machinery. Governor Schmeederman said he expected Wisconsin to vote for ratification in May. Michigan's Governor Comstock gave favorable consideration to a proposal to have the state legislature sit as a convention. Governor Rolph of California planned to ask the state legislature to call a ratification convention. The Ohio senate votes Wednesday on a bill to hold a convention election in November. The Missouri legislature has a similar measure before it. Early Vote Sought In Kansas and Oklahoma proposals for a convention faced severe dry opposition which successfully has voted down state modification measures this year. Colorado. Oregon. Minnesota and Washington planned to seek an early vote on resubmission legislation. In Rhode Island, which never ratified the eighteenth amendment, plans were being made to allow Governor Power to fix the date of v a convention. The Pennsylvania legislature considered two bills calling a state convention and prescribing methods of electing delegates. One called for thirty-three delegates elected at large and one additional delegate for each of the thirty-four congressional districts. The other called for the election of a delegate from each congressional district with no provision so: delegates at large. Four bills providing for repeal conventions were introduced in the New Jersey legislature. They will be made special order of business Monday. The bills differ mainly in the number of delegates specified, ranging from 81 to 226. MERCURY HOLDS FIRM Fair Weather to Continue Wednesday, Is Bureau Forecast.

Japan Flatly Turns Down League Report Ordering Evacuation of Manchuria Ready for Smash at Jehol Province, Nippon Officially Refuses to Accept Edict to Return Seized Territory, Prepares to Withdraw. BY STEWART BROWN United Pres* Staff Correspondent GENEVA, Feb. 21.—Japan officially rejected today the committee report on the assembly of the League of Nations, blaming Japan for events in Manchuria. The rejection covered both the report of the committee of nineteen and its recommendations, including restoration of Manchuria to Chinese sovereignty.

It came as the assembly opened its dramatic meeting to adopt the report, which will entail Japan’s withdrawal from the league. The assembly, however, faced with the most critical action in the : League’s history, refused to be hur- i ried, and adjourned until Friday before taking definite action. China will accept the report and recommendations at Friday’s session, it w'as reliably forecast. Ready for Jehol Drive BY HERBERT R.

First step by Indiana toward action on repeal of the eighteenth amendment was to be taken this afternoon in the state senate.

TROOPS ASKED IN WISCONSIN ‘MILK STRIKE' Thousands of Farmers on Picket Lines Opposed by Armed Deputies. POUR OIL ON CHEESE Factories Closed Forcibly; Prevent Railroad From Loading Product. By Vnited Press MILWAUKEE. Feb. 21—Wisconi sin’s milk strike veered toward a ! "milk war' today, with thousands of strikers picketing highways and unsympathetic farmers and deputies armed with tear gas bombs and revolvers clashing with them at a dozen points. Ominous events of the last few hours were: Pickets dumped milk in seven counties, forcibly closed cheese factories and poured kerosene over cheese after beating proprietors. The scope of the strike spread to rail shipments as 250 pickets prevented the Green Bay & Western railroad from picking up a carload of 8.000 pounds of skimmed milk. Non-striking farmers banded into spec; ' armed deputies. Perso fearful of widespread bloodshed and violence appealed to Governor Albert C. Schmederman for state troops. Strikers War in Or. Ranks Added to those di? urbing dej velopments was disse ision within j the ranks of the strikers. Hun- | dreds of dairymen gathered at j Madison for a meeting called by | Walter M. Singler, dapper young head of the Wisconsin co-operative milk pool, which is sponsoring the strike. That meeting was to determine whether the strike shall continue on the basis of demanding $1.40 per hundredweight for milk, whether it shall be broaden to include higher prices for all dairy products, and whether attempts shall be made to extend the strike to other states. Singler, husky Shiocton farmer who wears a goatee and spats, uttered the following warning regarding use of tear gas bombs by deputies: "They better lay off that stuff. Two can play that game. Pickets will not use violence if let alone, but no one will be able to stop them if treated rougly by officers.’’ Women Are Molested Women proprietors of cheese factories were among those molested. Mrs. Theresa Bruex, a widow with | five children, reported that a crowd of men entered her factory at Darboy and poured kerosene into 7,500 pounds of milk and cream. They | threatened to dynamite the plant if she did not close, she said. The same group was believed to have entered the plant owned by William Bruex. His wife was | thrown over a milk vat and bruised when she attempted to stop a fight between her son and several strikers. The strike spread to Menominee county, Michigan, but drivers there were warned only and their cargoes were not dumped.

onstrate how r to save time and labor and how r to renovate old tools to serve new uses. On Thursday afternoon. Mrs. Loudon will demonstrate a children's party, featured by a merry-go-round cake. That night, women are invited to bring their husbands to witness the suggestions for a stag party. A feature of the sessions will be | the question system. Attached to i the program will be slips for ques- ■ tions. which will be collected by \ ushers and answered by Mrs. Louj den. Mrs. Louden emphasizes attraci tive arrangement of the home. “The I living room should be an expression | of the personality of the family and not of one person. Let the bedrooms comply with individual requirements of tastes, but the living room should serve each member, | and be suggestive of the family character.’ It is the housewife's business to temper the atmosphere of the home, Mrs. Loudon believes. She can preserve her health and disposition by planning and simplifying her work. She can save money in learning to buy economically. She can attract her family to home by being a gracious hostess, surprising them with a holiday cake, or brightening the table or : the house with some new idea. Attractive displays of city firms’ products and merchandise are being shown. One feature is the new Ford, on exhibition in the lobby by 1 the Roy WilmeUi Company.

Sits at Typewriter: Days of Crutches, Treatment Over for Good. As she sits at her typewriter in a downtown business college, the tap-tap of the keys sing a merry song which often reaches the crescendo of a triumphal march for Miss Rosina Oakes, 1022 Division street. “Y-o-u'r-e w-e-1-1; y-o-u’r-e w-e-1-1,” the keys say as Rosina clatters away at the exercises which will fit her for a job in the hustle and bustle of a healthy world that might have passed her by. Afflicted by chronic arthritis, caused by sinus infection, when a child, Rosina was helpless for years until admitted to the Riley children's hospital in July, 1926. Walked on Crutches There the first steps were taken in restoring her to a normal life, unincumbered by braces and free from pain. Careful treatment, longhours of massage and exercise brought a slom improvement. When Rosina reached the age limit for the Riley hospital she was taken to the occupational therapy shop at city hospital, w'hich is operated by the Indianapolis Foundation and St. Margaret’s Guild. She walked on crutches, with heavy steel braces on each leg from the ankle to above the knee. Her arms w : ere rigid at an angle of 120 degrees. “Rosina’s grit was marvelous,” says Mrs. Grace Bennett, therapist in charge of the shop. “Her arms would be sore from manipulations, given under anesthetics; yet she would come to the shop here and w'ork on the trapeze. “Can Wash My Face” “One day Rosina came to me and threw' her arms around my neck. “ 'Mrs. Bennett, I can wash my own face,’ she said.” From then on. Rosina showed remarkable improvement and the day finally came when she w'as placed at a typewriter for finger exercise. The state board of rehabilitation w'as informed of Rosina’s case by Mrs. Bennett and arrangements were made for payment of her business college tuition. Her daily expenses are contributed by St. Margaret's Guild. COUNCILMAN ASKS HIKE IN PERRY STADIUM FEE License Increase From SIOO to 52.500 Is Advocated.

BANKER’S BIG ‘BOOM’ INCOME DRAWS ATTACK Couzens Clashes With Head of National City: Flays Bonus System. BY LYLE C. WILSON l nited Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Feb. 21—Revelation before the stock market investigating committee today that Charles E. Mitcheli's boom-time income amounted a most to $2,500,000 in two years brought irom Senator James Couzens (Rep., Mich., the sharp charge that such a bonus system leads to unsound banking and securities operations. Mitchell is chairman of the board of the National City bank, with deposits in excess of $1,000,000,000. and of the National City Company, an investment banking affiliate. He testified that the latter had floated about $20,000,000,000 of securities in the last ten years. Os these he said something under sl,000.000,000 worth were in default or in trouble. Called “Star Salesman’’ After declaring his belief that a bonus system of pay for bank officials led to “unsound banking and unsound securities sales," Couzens added: “The public should know what inspires some of these securities sales. It is no reflection on the National City bank, but heir bonuses have been detrimental to the public interest.” Mitchell's salary is $25,000 a year. The remainder of the vast sum named today by Ferdinand Pecora, committee counsel, represents a bonus on profits paid from a management fund. Pecora said Mitchell received in 1927 and 1928, an aggregate income of $2,444,519.44. "I’ll have to check it up,” replied the imperturbable banker. Couzens referred to him as a “star salesman” and at one point asked Mitchell whether he was a better salesman than he is a financier. Attacks Bonus Systems Couzens was acting chairman of the investigation when Pecora mentioned Mitchell’s huge bonus. Pecora remarked that the bonus system was an incentive to unwise securities and banking practices. "There was no obligation on the National City Company or you wouldn't have taken the chance,” Couzens said—“you sold securities that you would not have in the National City bank portfolio.” “That's not quite fair," Mitchell replied. He explained that an investment banking house would float securities for which there was a public demand. “You being the star salesman would sell the idea to your directors,” Couzens continued. Tells of Fast Sales “You complicent me,” Mitchell replied. Pecora asked earlier if “sale to the public” had not increased tremendously in 1925—when the great Coolidge boom market was getting under way. Mitchell replied: “Our sales over ten years averaged $1,500,000,000. “Our high year was $2,000,000,000 and the low just under $1,000,000,000. He said the high year was 1927 or 1928. Mitchell said that CommonwealthEdison Bonds (Insulll Securities) were considreded “among the primes.”

Both Houses in Caucus to Shove Through Program of Administration. BAR PUBLIC HEARINGS Approval Is Expected by Night: Millions to Be Netted by Plan. Both houses of the Indiana legislature caucused today on the highly controversial administration tax program, which includes a 5‘28,000.000 biennial sales tax. j Under leadership of Governor Paul V. McNutt, and the whips of I his cohorts in and out of the legislature, the bill is expected to receive caucus approval and be passed by tonight without opportunity for public protest to be recorded. This will be the first time in legislative history that revenue bills of such importance were acted on in caucus and passed under suspension of the rules. Public hearings always have been held heretofore. McNutt, so far. has been so successful with his caucus method of putting bills acrass that it was decided to follow the plan with the revenue measures. The major bill is a gross sales or excise tax. It calls for one-fourth of 1 per cent on the gross income of all manufacturers and wholesalers; 1 per cent on all individual incomes; 1 per cent on all retail sales, including revenue of public utilities, | with a general exemption of SI,OOO of gross income on the excise tax. Great Revenue Expected Revenue from this bill was es- | timated by administration leaders at from $12,000,000 to $14,000,000 an- \ nually. Companion measures, which will ! aid in carrying out McNutt's pledge to wipe out the deficit and balance the budget, call for restoration to the state of half of the automobile license fees now going to local governmental units and imposition of ; an annual $1 driver’s license fee. i The state will assume a S6OO salary payment for all common and ; high school teachers and retain the | 7-cent school tax levy. The 8 cents I of the 15-cent total levy from prop- ! erty taxes w ill be wiped out under the plan. Teacher salary payments will total $12,480,000, there being 12.800 common school teachers and 8,000 in high schools of the state. School Cost C’ut Seen A 20 to 30 per cent reduction in local school costs is estimated to accrue from the plan of state payments. McNutt, in explaining the bills, said that the teacher bill will so be amended as to prevent local schools from merely considering it additional revenue and not reducing costs. The sales tax bill provides for quarterly payments of taxes of more than $25 annually, beginning April 15. Payments are due in January, April. July and October. Collections are under the state treasury department. Intangibles tax bills, now' pending in the house, also are being considered by the administration, but will not be part of the major program scheduled for action today. Protest against the plan of passage through caucus and rules suspension already has been voiced by the Indiana State Chamber of Commerce, Indiana Council of Retail Merchants, Retail Merchants of Indiana and the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce. Balance Is Foreseen i Passage of the bills will leave the i state with a substantial balance, j estimated at around $2,000,000, at the close of the biennial period, aei cording to those who assisted in j drafting the program. Here is how they figure: Total needed for state expenditures for the two-year period will , be $22,000,000. Taxes at 4'-_. per cent on a property valuation of $3,900,000,000 would produce an estimated I revenue (excluding delinquencies) of $3,200,000; poll tax will add $750.000; other revenues, insurance fees, inheritance taxes and the like, SB.000,000, making an estimate total of approximately $12,000,000. Diversion of automobile license fees to the state, including the present funds that have not been distributed, will be another $7,500,000. Drivers’ licenses, which means 90 cents out of each sl, 10 cents going to collectors, means $4,000,000, i since collections will start this year. Other Revenues Listed With a current estimated deficit of $3,500,000, these revenues will I cover the $22,000,000 expenditures, leaving an estimated deficit of 52.000.000. Estimated sales and excise revenues are as follow's: Manufacturers. $2,500,000; wholesalers, $350,000; retailers. $8,000,000; railroads. $500,000; professional incomes, $1000,000; public utilities, $900,000; hotels and amusements, $200,000, and all others, including revenues from coal, oil and stone, banking and the like, $50,000,000. Tctal revenue produced by the sales tax being $13,950,000 a year or approximately $28,000,000 for the biennium. The bill providing for the S6OO teacher salary payments is estimated to cost $26,000,000 for the two-year period, with eight months of school. I This would leave exactly $2,000.000 to care for the deficit. Beer and other taxes are expected to add ‘5500,000 and intangibles $3,000,000,
