PARI-MUTUELS' SCOPE WIDENED IN SENATE BILL Anything That Can Race Is Affected by Changes in Measure. Horses, dogs, automobiles and airplanes or any animal or machine that can be made. to race, will furnish material for operation of pari-mutuel betting machines under senate amendments to the house betting bill. The bill is up for final action in the senate today. As passed by the house, the bill confined the operation of the machines to horse racing. Fee of SIOO to license a track was to be paid the state and 1 cent collected in tax on each 10 cents of admission. liars Let Down Senatorial amendments let down the bars to racing of ail kinds and made the bill a $1,000,000 revenue measure. A 30 per cent state tax would be levied on the betting machines, the money to go into a special fund to finance the state's share of old age pensions. Tracks with machines will be under supervision of the state department of public safety and operative from April 1 to Nov. 30, each year. No horse racing would be allowed after 7:30 p. m. Betting machines could not be operated in counties of less than 75:000. Fight on the amendments was between the horse race boosters and those who wanted to say a good 'word for the dogs. Favors No Gaming at All A third view was expressed by Senator Walter Vermillion iDem., Anderson), “I'm not in favor of gambling at all,” Vermillion said. “If we are going to license gambling, why not hi-jacking and bank-robbing? I think we have voted enough revenue measures without this.” As the bill now stands, machines could be used at the Speedway automobile race whenever the management decided it wanted them installed. So far, the speedway is opposed to their use at the international motor classic. ONE SLAIN. 2 WOUNDED Police Shoot Down Alleged Killer After Shooting Affray.

LEGENDS FESTOON MANSION

History Clings to White House Like Moss to Rock

Marguerite Young continues her series on moving day at the White House today with a description of the historic old mansion into which the Roosevelts will move March 4 She tells of the famous rooms and furniture with their sentitimental associations in the second of six articles. BY MARGUERITE YOUNG, •Time* Staff Writer. THE White House awaits the arrival of the Franklin D. Roosevelts. . More than thirty times the house itself has seen such drama —a rivulet in the mighty stream of its memories. Goal of uncounted honeymoon tours, symbol of an empire, target of politicians' jibes, it has sheltered Presidents for 133 years. In it they have made state decisions hard to match in portent by those of congress itself. But at that it is not altogether different from the six ether homes of its new tenants. Its furniture

is grander, but its domain is 980 acres smaller than Hyde Park on the Hudson, the President's first home. Its long East Room—in which Abigail Adams hung out her wash and Lincoln lay dead, and Alice Roosevelt married Nicholas Longworth may remind the Roosevelts of Grandmother Sara Delano Roosevelt’s “big room” where the new President retold Dickens’ “Carol” on Christmas day. Like the Roosevelts’ narrow sixstory Manhattan house, where Anna Roosevelt Dali and her family will live on after March 4, the White House has an elevator, geared to move no faster than a secret service man can travel on the stairs. A is a palace beside the dwelling the Roosevelts took when he became Woodrow Wilson’s assistant secretary of navy. From this house, however, they moved into a spacious one, where the children learned to like their own dining room as the grandchildrer will do when they visit the White House. Like the Governor's mansion in Albany, the new Roosevelt homestead is public property, traversed by hundreds or sightseers. Its architectural style is classic, but as simple as that of the Roosevelts’ summer house on Campobello island, New Brunswick.

Orleans who originated the “Boswell rhythm” will sing their own arrangements of popular songs in the same fashion that has made them one of the outstanding popular music units of the decade. An interesting fact about this "Boswell rhythm” is that the girls never write a line of music when they are learning a song. They look it over and then begin at the end of the song and put chords together. After they have worked from the end to the beginning of a number, they reverse the procedure and sing it through. This method of arranging a song is a puzzle to musical experts, many of whom do not see how it can be done —and yet the result is the “Boswell rhythm.” Paul Whiteman, the dean of modern music, says that the girls were the first singers ever to provide vocal harmonies in true foxtrot tempo that could be used instead of a dance orchestra to provide tempos for dancers. Their vocal style combines the moaning ot the Louisiana swamp winds with the hi de hi of hot Harlem. The Boswells’ visit to Indianapolis is part of a tour they are making cf a half dozen American cities. Later, they plan to accept offers in England and France. a a o Indianapolis theaters today offer: "Clear All Wires” at the Palace, State Fair" at the Apollo, Raynor Lehr at the Lyric. "Sign of' the Cross" at the Circle, and “20.000 Years in Sing Sing" at the Indiana. Prevent Waking Sleep Undisturbed It's easy. Make this 25c test. Drive the impurities and excess acids from the bladder which cause the irritation that wakes you up. Get a 25c box of BUKETS the bladder physic, from any drug store. After four days test if not satisfied go back and get your 25c. They work on the bladder similar to castor oil on the bowels. You are bound to feel better after this cleansing and you get your regular sleep. Hook Drug Stores says BUKETS is a best seller.—Advertisement.

Blue Room in the White House. Right, Dolly Madison, from a rare old print.

“T TOME,” Mrs. Roosevelt has said, “is where the family is.” A home she will make the house with its 102 telephones and as many servants. Besides treasured golden dinner service and opulent velvet hangings, it has forks and spoons of base metal—crowds at public entertainments have been known to include intrepid souvenir hunters. History and legend cling like moss on a mountain rock to practically every object, every square foot in the Roosevelts’ new home. It would take a woman of less mental curiosity than Mrs. Roosevelt not to inquire about the friendly ghosts of predecessors. They were as human, as amusing, as real a collection of men and women as ever succeeded one another in a single dwelling. In the main corridor, stretching seventy feet from the State dining room to the East Room, the Roosevelts may visualize “Old Hickory” Jackson receiving a mob who bloodied noses for places In the vast East Room, extending the width of the house, lighted by three chandeliers that blaze like an aurora borealis, hangs the most famous portrait in the House, Stuart’s picture of Washington. It was Dolly Madison, perhaps the most famous of First Ladies, who salvaged the portrait and fled with it before the British redcoats in 1314—sprightly, irreverent, gorgeously turbaned Dolly Madison, who literaly queened it over four generations of Washington society. aaa THERE are three parlors on the first floor—the Red, the Green and the Blue. On the green silk damask walls hangs a portrait of Martin Van Buren, who stood by those windows one March 3 night and morosely listene * to in-

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

auguration crowds shouting outside:—“Van —Van—he’s a used up man.” Herbert Hoover and Ramsay MacDonald, sitting smoking and talking oyer disarmament, made history in the Red Room a few years ago. Under their chairs—the same which President Roosevelt may use with other British representatives, debt negotiators—spread a fine Aubusson rug bearing the United States coat of arms. The white marble mantel, moved in this room when the house was remodeled for the first Roosevelts, stood from the early 1800s in the State dining room, which seats 100 guests. In the elliptical beautifully proportioned Blue room, all great guests have been received, from General Lafayette, surrounded by stiff brocaded ladies, to Queen Marie, simply received by Mrs. Calvin Coolidge. aaa BUT it’s upstairs, in the second floor private apartments, where the Roosevelts are most likely to spend most of their time in the White House. Seven bedrooms, four en suite. To one of them Calvin Coolidge came one day with a rabbit in his hands. It was for Calvin Jr., sick with a fatal infection. It was Mrs. Coolidge who. with an advisory committee, collected the antiques in the Monroe Sitting Room on this floor. Here also are the library and the study in which Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation, taking care to write smoothly lest history record that he hesitated. During the Coolidge administration the third floor was rebuilt, worm-eaten roof timbers removed, the attic remodeled into fourteen rooms, seven baths, huge cedar

The State Dining Room and linen closets over the north portico. That was the front door through modern times, but originally the south entrance was the main one. The shift occurred because one entrance was insufficient and the north side faces Washington's main street. Now me nouSe may be turned round again, as it were. The* new President will use the south entrance on Inauguration dayramps are to be built for it—and probably often hereafter. Access to the first floor and elevator is easier thus, no steps intervening.

Rush On in Earnest to Enter Times Polo Meet

Junior Stars Hot After Prizes in Tourney, to Open Saturday. Two new entries were registered bright and early this morning in The Times roller polo tourney, which will start with a bang Saturday afternoon in Tomlinson hall. The Wildcats, managed by Lawrence Baker, 1033 South Meridian street, will compete for the big first prize and the Emersons, piloted by Lewis Kenworthy, 318-South Emerson avenue, also are in the race. Dean Sanders is first rush on the Emerson team; Roy Babcock, second rush; Lewis. Kenworthy, center; John Curran, halfback; and Red Seibert, goal tender. A number of players who ’will compere in Saturday's play watched the amateur leaguers perform Wednesday night at Tomlinson hall and picked up some valuable pointers. Admittance was free for all tourney entrants. Players Saturday will be equipped with skates from the stock used by the leaguers, so if you haven’t suitable skates, don’t let that stop you. Hockey sticks can be used. Regulation polo clubs are not necessary. Any boys who have not passed their fifteenth birth anniversary are eligible to play, if they do not weigh more than 120 pounds. Get eight lads on your team if you can, so you'll have substitutes when the going gets hot. But five will be enough if material is scarce in your neighborhood. Prizes are being donated by the Kingston Products Company of Kckomo, makers of high-class skates. First ward is an outfit of “super-skates” for the winners. Second prize is another outfit of good skates for all, players on the runner-up team. L. S. Ayres & Cos. is donating a hockey stick and a puck with every purchase of skates.

$1.50 TAX LIMIT LAW IS MADE MOREUBERAL Republicans Wage Futile Fight for Cuts to 90 Cents and $1.35. An administration bill to liberalize the $1.50 tax levy law is today on its way to Governor Paul V. McNutt for signature. Provisions of the act set $1 as the maximum levy in all territory outside of incorporated cities and towns, and leaves 51.50 as the limit for levies by taxing units inside of cities and towns. Provisions concerning emergencies and rights of tax adjustment boards to raise the levy limits are retained in the new measure. It will be necessary', however, for tax boards to set forth the specific terms of the emergencies when boosting tax levies. Futile efforts were made by the Republican senators to cut the levy limits from $1 to 90 cents, and from $1.50 to $1.35. Terms of the neiw measure change personnel Os the tax adjustment boards from the county auditor, three members of the county council and three resident freeholders, as now constituted, to one member of the council and six members to be appointed by the circuit court. Another measure affecting the present $1.50 law was advanced in the senate late Wednesday and provides that levies, made in excess of $1.50, are legalized forever, thus stopping any court actions by taxpayers. Reduce Fine for “Drunks’’ By United Press HOLYOKE, Mass., March 2.—The standard fine for drunkenness here has been reduced from sls to the pre-prohibition level of $lO. It’s a depression measure, Judge John Hildreth explained.
