PETTY LOANERS ARE VICTORIOUS j IN LEGISLATURE Complete Triumph Is Seen for Operators After Senate Action. Small loan operators Friday won a complete victory in the Indiana leg- i islature. With little discussion, the house accepted minor senate amendments to Us petty loan bill, and the meas-j ure, barring a motion for reconsid-, eration, is ready to go to the Gov-; crnor. The bill gives full supervisory, and interest rate fixing power to the \ new department of financial insti-j tutions, with the provision that in, the absence of a department ratej schedule, the interest shall be 3Vi I per cent a month on sums up to; $l5O. and 2'.- above that amount. Senate amendment fixing a flat rate of 2 per cent was adopted Wednesday, but late Thursday afternoon. under of lash of Senator Anderson Ketchum of Greensburg, Democratic floor leader, the amendment w'as killed. Ketchum had the bill recommitted to himself as “a committee of one,” with specific instructions to eliminate the 2 per cent rate. He reported back at once and the 2 peri cent amendment was killed by a voice vote. The low rale amendment was offered by Senator William P. Ijennigan iDem., Vincennes), author of a bill slumbering in the house, also setting a 2 per cent rate. The amendment, leaving the rate making power with the financial institutions departme’ stipulated that in no event should it be more than 2 per. cent. As the bill now stands, the department could fix any rate. It has been explained by supporters of the bill that public pressure will keep the rate down to 3’a per cent, the present maximum. Ketchum, as a prelude to the movement that killed the low rate amendment, denied that the petty loan bill is an administration measure. However, its author is Representative Leo M. Gardner iDem., Indianapolis), who, with twenty-six other representatives and nine senators, wrote a companion measure, reorganizing the banking regulation set up of the state and creating the department of financial institutions. The bill has the approval, voiced in committee hearings, of Alex Parsley of Hartford City, Democratic state committee member, and £ small loan operator, and of F. L. Thompson of Chicago, counsel for the Household Finance Corporation, operating in twelve states. ONE ANIMAL WAIF IS ADOPTED BY ANOTHER Unusual Hard Times Story Backed Up by Photographs. NEW YORK, March 4.—One animal waif that has adopted another as a foster-child is the strange hard times story told—and backed lip with photographic evidence—by I Miss Margaret Stanger of Riverside drive. Tales of cats that nurse puppies are common enough, or of motherly dogs that adopt kittens; but in the! case reported by Miss Stanger a mongrel dogs has adopted a fullgrown cat and makes it play the role of a presumably lost pupp. The two animals were both strays which came to the neighborhood, Miss Stanger states. ”My photographs were taken on the third day of their acquaintance. They are friendly at all times except when food is put out, which the dog insists upon eating, forcibly keeping the cat at a distance while doing so. However, as soon as shp has fin- ■ Ished she shares w’ith the cat in this fashion . . .

The tomcat sat on the farmyard fence and yowled out loud to his mate: “If they Ect you and me for the college lab, then there'll he only eisht.” —From “The Melancholy Mouser.” nun BY ARUH STEINEL It's “k-k-k-kitty time at Indiana Central college and the order has gone out to co-eds and collegians ih the school's biology department to bring in a tabby apiece for vivisection. On week-end leaves of absence, the pre-medical students and biologists of the school are haunting farmyard fences near their homes in the moonlight, to* catch a bold mouser yapping at the fellow overhead. who is in the green cheese business. And just ten snore cats are to be brought in. court-martialed, and sent to that kingdom where catnip grows on bushes and milky lakes foam at night. Must be "Foreign Cats” Ten students are expected to "skin the cat,” which has nothing at all to do with that adolescent game played by little red schoolhouses, before March 15, if they expect to keep pace with the other students who have held night vigils. William P. Morgan, professor ot biology at the college, wants it strictly understood that Southtown cats and those of University Heights or. in fact, any feline within the area of Marion county, is immune from the executioner. "The cats are brought from the homes of students living outside the city. The only exception is in the case of those living in the city and they’re depending on friends and neighbors for gifts,” h* said. Foiled by Cat Owner “And that brought up a difficulty the other day. One of the students had been promised a gray tabby by a housewife. “ ‘lt's my husband's and I’ve been wanting to rid myself of her. Come on down and get her,’ she told the student,” Morgan related. The student, Morgan explains, went to the housewife's door and knocked. A man answered the door. The student explained the mission. “No, you're not.” retorted the man—who happened to be the husband—"it's my cat. Y’ou take my wife's dog.” The dog was left by the forlorn student.

Greenwood Slated for House Democratic Whip

Rainey Remembers Promise to Indiana Mar. and Will Make Good. By ficripus-Hoicard Xewspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, March 3. —Representative Arthur Greenw'ood, of Washington, Ind., will be whip of the Democratic organization of the house. The position is appointive, and Greenwood was named to the post Friday by the appointive powers— Henry T. Rainey, next Speaker, and Joe Byrns. next Democratic leader. Two years ago, when John Garner was chosen Speaker and Rainey was named leader. Greenwood thought that he was to be designated whip. But at that time, Rainey was forced to back down on his pre-caucus promise to Greeni wood and permit Representative John McDuffie to remain the whip. Now, Rainey has to make good on his two-year promise and reward Greenwood, who was one of the first and most persistent of the supporters of Rainey's candii dacy for the speakership. The | McDuffie forces were routed Thurs--1 day afternoon when the Democrats | agreed on a slate of Rainey for Speaker and Byrns for leader. A party whip in the house is charged w'ith the responsibility of conducting preliminary polls on party measures and rounding up : party members for important votes. One of the reasons w'hy Rainey | wanted to name Greenwood whip is that he fears the Indiana congressman can not be elected to a place on the ways and means committee. Greenwood announced several months ago that he wanted to be a member of the ways and means committee, but the sentiment of his party colleagues is against him, because of his opposition to the Collier beer bill.

LUESSE WILL SPEAK BEFORE JOBLESS ARMY Unemployed Leader, Free Again, Will Lead Protest Rally. For the first time since his release from the state penal farm last week, Theodore Luesse, unemployed leader, was to speak at a mass meeting scheduled to be held today at noon on the courthouse steps. Luesse seryed more than a year on the farm for conviction for interfering with an eviction. His imprisonment drew state-wide attention when Indianapolis business men and civic leaders launched a fight to obtain his release and remittance of a SSOO fine which was imposed by Frank P. Baker, criminal court judge. In hand bills circulated widely in the city Friday, leaders of the unemployed Council and the International Labor Defense, said Luesse s appearance will be in connection with marchers’ protest against the “new deal” of the Democratic administration. The hand bills charge that the new sales tax was “crammed down the throats of the poor,” and that relief for the “forgotten man has been neglected.” The marchers will demand immediate relief for the unemployed to prevent “mass starvation,” the hand bills state.

HIGHER RATING CLAIMED FOR PILTDOWN MAN Ancient Dweller in England Held Nearer Human Than Is Neanderthal Type. B.y Srirncc Scm irc BERLIN. March 4 —Eoanthropus, the Dawn Man of Piltdown, England, of all human or near-human fossils the most knocked-about in anthropological dispute, has been given anew shove—this time upstairs. Dr. Hans Weinest, anthropologist at the Kaiser Wilhelm institute, has examined the original specimens in England, and is convinced that Eoanthropus is more human than he has been given credit for being—more human, indeed, than Neanderthal Man—and that he probably is not as old as he has been considered by earlier investigators. Dr. Weinert's argument turns to a considerable extent on the Dawn Man’s teeth and lower jaw, which were found separately from the fragments of the upper skull. These hitherto have been considered t# be quite definitely ape-like, contrasting strongly with the massive, but just as definitely human cranium. So great has this contrast appeared to earl.er workers that some of them would not believe that jaw and cranium belonged to the same being, but held that the skull was a man's, the jaw an ape's. Teeth Are Human, He. Says But the German investigator finds that the teeth are human after all, and is of the opinion that the jaw and skull do belong together. The Eoanthropus fossils consist of two fragmentary crania, half of a lower jaw containing two molars, a loose eyetooth and a loose molar. The pieces of one skull, the jawbone and the loose eyetooth were found in a gravel pit at Piltdown, Sussex, between 1909 and 1913; the pieces of the second skull and the loose molar in the same neighborhood, at a distance of about two miles, in 1915. In the gravel stratum were many bones of extinct animals, including mastodon, hippopotamus and rhinoceros. These animals were identified as being of early Ice Age date, so that the human fossils were assumed to be of equal antiquity, although it was recognized that the gravel deposit, bones and all. might be secondary, that is, washed in from elsewhere. Now, Dr. Weinert states, the English scientists agree with him in regarding the animal remains as older than the human fossils, so that the great antiquity heretofore assigned to Eoanthropus at least is open to question. Coincidence Is Unlikely 9 As for likelihood that the skull and the teeth belong to two different | creatures, he points out that the 1 coincidence would have to be twice repeated, since the loose molar was found near the second group of skull fragments, just as the jaw-bone-piece and the loose eyetooth were found near the first. He feels that the probability of ; the pieces really belonging to each : other is greater than the chances of a double concidence of the same j kind of ape leaving their remains in | the same places. As for the apelikeness of the jaw I teeth, he says, “the lower jaw is not ' so pronouncedly anthropoid as has been assumed; the teeth are human; what appears apelike about them can be found in other human teeth as well.” Stating that he intends soon to publish his detailed findings in a journal, he adds, “If my work finds acceptance, then Eoanthropus is no ‘Anthropus’ and no ape, but a •Homo’ (man), indeed more ‘Homo’ —and therefore more truly human—than the Neanderthaler.” Dr. Weinert’s preliminary conclusions are contained in a communication to the German scientific weekly Forschungen and Fortschritte. TIRES OF ‘TOUGH’ ROLES ‘Hard Boiled’ Actor Yearns to Play Part of Gentleman. By United Press , HOLLYWOOD. March 4. Allen I Jenkins would like to be a gentlej man at least once. This ambition, although not unusual with actors who habitually portray “muggs” and “hard guys,” has become a consuming desire with Jenkins. It was his fortune or fate to be categoried as a tough one from the day he portrayed a gangster role in “Blessed Event.” Through picture after picture went Jenkins, snarling and sneering in his best depraved manner. “If I could only get a gentleman's part before I'm 90,” yearned Jenkins. “The kind of a chap who got through high school, anyhow, and knows something ahout English as she is spoke, and never hesitates over the forks.”
