INDIANA BONE DRY LAW IS WIPED OUT; BEER BILL PASSES Senate Chamber Rings With Applause When Vote Puts Sign of Doom on ** Wright Act. SILENCE GREETS PROHIBITION PLEA Conference Committees Will Meet Today to Place Finishing Touches on Two Measures. Conference committees of senate and house today will make short work of the formalities necessary to place two new acts on the books, wiping out Indiana’s stringent dry laws. One act repeals the Wright bone dry law. The other creates a system of taxation and licensing for alcoholic drinks, including beer, wine and medicinal whisky; which anticipates modification or repeal of the federal dry law. Both carry out Democratic platform pledges.

First enthusiastic demonstration of the present session of the Indiana senate marked the swift passage of the regulatory measure late Friday afternoon by a vote of 30 to 16. Crowded galleries, on hand t,o witness the effective revolt against the state’s dry forces, applauded loudly when the overwhelming vote was announced. Dry Orators Meet Silence In sharp contrast with former years, when dry orators received acrlaim, the sentiment in the senate chamber revealed a complete reversal of public opinion as senators with dry convictions spoke to silent, though respectful, galleries. Senator Jacob Weiss (Dem., Indianapolis. acting as senate manager for the house bills, moved to suspend the rules so that the beer control measure could be voted on before adjournment. Weiss then yielded the floor to Senator Fred A. Egan (Dem., Gary), who declared that despite the lack of a draught beer provision, his constituency” wanted tne measure and would seek additional liberalizing amendments two years from now.” Senator William D. Hardy (Dem., Evansville), was next in support, saying that ‘‘prohibition laws had violated the rights of mankind and that ‘attempts to enforce the laws, forced upon us by an organized minority, have made the people rebel against fanatical restrictions of human liberties.” Called Boon to Undertakers Senator L. L. Shull (Rep.. Sharpsville) opened the debate for the dry members, calling attention to the case with which alcoholic drinks could be sold under provisions of the act. “This law will be a boon to undertakers, doctors, and hospitals,” Shull said. "Moreover it is premature. as congress has not wet changed the Volstead law. our people are not all wet and the prohibition forces in Indiana are working as they never have before to defeat those in high places who trample dry laws underfoot.” Climax of the dry arguments came when Senator Elias C. Swihart <Dem„ Elkhart), declared that "no law can be devised to control King Alcohol,” but that "it is our duty to make it easier to do right and harder to do wrong.” "I admit that conditions under present prohibition laws are not ideal," Swihart said, "but we can't make conditions better by legalizing illegal acts." Repealer Then Senator Anderson Ketchum (Dem., Greensburg), majority floor leader, served notice on his colleagues that "time for action has arrived, as derided by the Democratic victory last November." Weiss closed the debate by explaining that the measure was for the control of alcoholic drinks, that it was expressly against the open saloon, and that it was both a regulatory and revenue enactment. Immediately following the victoryon the beer control bill. Weiss seized the chance to place the Wright law repealer on its passage. Again the senate acted swiftly, and passing the measure by a vote of 34 to 13.

CERMAK HOLDS TO LIFE WITH DOGGED WILL One of Physicians Says He Is Trankly Pessimistic’ About Chances. SON-IN-LAW IS HOPEFUL Mayor Is ‘Going to Sail Along Now,’ Asserts Dr. Jirka. BY E. W. LEWIS t'niteri Press Staff Correspondent MIAMI, Fla., Feb. 25.—One of Mkyor Anton J. Cermak’s physicians was “frankly pessimistic” about his chances for recovery today, but another expressed high optimism as the Chicago executive’s unflagging will to live helped him fight off the effects of Giuseppi Zangara’s bullet. Dr. Frank Jirka. son-in-law of Cermak and one of his staff of doctors, said the mayor’s eyes looked better this morning despite a somewhat restless night, and added: “Do you know what my honest opinion is? I believe he absolutely is going to sail along now. He has a good chance.” Dr. E. S. Nichol had said an hour ! earlier, after a long examination, ; that he feared the mayor had little ; chance. He added that he might be too pessimistic. Dr. Jirka and Alderman James B. Bowler of Chicago, who is in con- | stant attendance, said Cermak's mind remained sharp. “That's the trouble, his mind is too active,” Bowler said, and Dr. Jirka commented that as he conversed in whspers with a nurse, Cermak asked what he was saying. , Cermak has lost about ten pounds i since he was wounded by a bullet intended for President-Elect Franklin D. Roosevelt, his doctors said. His only nourishment in the last few days has been obtained by glu- ! cose solution injections. A heart j stimulant also is being administered.

HULL PLEDGES D. S. AID FOR WORLD PEACE Faithful Observance of Treaties, International Good Faith Urged. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS ScripP'-Hnward Foreign Editor WASHINGTON. Feb. 25.—Uttered against the background of a blazing far east and a defaulting Europe, diplomats here attach unusual importance to the first public statement of America's new secretary of state, Senator Cordell Hull. Leaving his sick bed to meet the press for the first time since his appointment. the new foreign minister's very first words were a plea for the faithful observance of treaties and of international good faith and to promise American co-operation in the preservation of world peace. “This policy,” he declares, “is vital.” The success of America’s principal foreign policies in the years to come, he said, “will be determined by the extent of its aid in destoring w'orld commerce, which would include our ow'n commerce at home, and its aid in maintaining world peace under the fundamental policy of right and justice.” Revision Not Cure-All As to the war debts, the incoming secretary of state made it perfectly plain that the Roosevelt administration does not regard mere revision as the one grand cure-all for what ails the world. He clearly intimated that many other things are the matter, and that unless these are straightened out too, mere clearing up the debt situation will have little effect. “That the war debts owed this government are but one factor,” he said, “will not be controverted.” “All persons must recognize,” he said at the outset, “that demoralization and chaos, including the complete dislocation of the economic relationship of nations, characterize many vital phases of political and economic affairs everywhere. Moral, Political Standards Drop “There has been, too, a general letting dowm since the war of moral and political standards by both peoples and governments. There should be no laxity on the part of this or any other nation in the observance of both the letter and spirit of treaties and of international good faith. “There should be sane and realistic international co-operation, keeping in mind our traditions and our constitution, to aid in preserving the peace of the world. “This nation henceforth must play its full part in effecting the normal restoration of national economic relationships, and in world commercial rehabilitation from which alone business recovery in satisfactory measure can be hoped for.” He added that in all this the war debts owed the United States are but a single factor. First Formal Statement Senator Hull’s is the first formal statement from President-Elect Franklin D. Roosevelt’s ofHcial family. It is the first statement on broad foreign policy yet made by the incoming administration. Accordingly, it was eagerly, if not anxiously, awaited in foreign diplomatic circles. By coincidence, or otherwise, it mally broke with the League or Nations and virtually told the world that, come what may, she will never give up Manchuria, and that further advances into China are to be expected. By a vote 42 to 1, the league assembly had voted against Japan, and the next step will largely depend upon the attitude of the Roosevelt administration.

STATE ORDERS BANK HOLIDAY Maryland Institutions Will Close for Three Days. By l. nitril l ’rr* BALTIMORE, Feb. 25.—A1l banks in Maryland were closed today under a three-day banking holiday proclaimed by Governor Albert C. Ritchie, to stop heavy withdrawals, which threatened stability of the state’s financial institutions. The holiday, impounding deposits of more than $800,000,000 in 205 banks, and trust companies, will continue at least through Tuesday. Governor Ritchie in a formal statement announcing the holiday, expressed confidence that the banks would be able to reopen on Wednesday after passage of emergency legislation enabling them to restrict demand withdrawals to a given percentage of depositors’ funds. Governor Ritchie announced the holiday at midnight after a sixhour conference with leading Baltimore bankers at the federal reserve branch bank. To assure legality of the action, he also issued a proclamation declaring today to be a legal holiday for all financial institutions in the state. He arranged to issue similar proclamatons for succeeding business days until the emergency legislation is enacted. The crisis was precipitated by heavy withdrawals from Baltimore banks, which began Tuesday, increased day by day, and Friday reached what officials considered a dangerous point.

Capital EDITION PRICE TWO CENTS Outside Marion County, 3 Cents

Wholesale desertions of Chinese troops were described in communiques which told of advances being made in the face of little resistance. One thousand Chinese were killed, in the capture of the important railhad city of Peipiao, the war office was advised from Kwantung. The city fell three days ago. Capture of the important Jchol town of Kailu simultaneously was announced. "We believe final victory can be accomplished without much fighting, the communique said. Chinese Warned Again Hardly had the drive got under way along the 250-mile front than General Nobuyoshi Muto, commanding general of the Manchoukuoan troops, warned the Chinese against pointing their military operations against the invaders. "Our operations will not extend beyond the limits of Manchoukuo unless North China authorities positively direct operations against our troops,” General Muto, virtual dictator of the province, said. "If they do, the responsibility will lie solely with the North China authorities.” Japan's present campaign is based upon claims that Jehol province is a natural adjunct of Manchoukuo. The Kwantung communique reported that 25,000 Chinese regulars under General Liu Chu-Tang had gone over to the Manchoukuoan forces and joined in the general attack. Report 1,000 Annihilated The Chinese garrison at Peipiao fell before the assault of the Hayakawa battalion, the war office reported. After annihilating 1.000 Chinese troops, the battalion subjugated the city. No Japanese casualties were given. Kailu was captured by Manchoukuoan troops, advancing from the north, it was said. Reports of Japanese victories were received jubilantly here, coming on the heels of Tokio's rupture with the League of Nations. The war office today sent Colonel Masaharu Honma to visit the Siamese legation, thanking Siam for declining to vote with other league members when they adopted the committee of nineteen report, condemning japan's Manchurian policy.
