Unless the vote is revoked, the bill will go to Gov. Paul V. McNutt for his action. Three courses ae open to the Governor. He has power to approve it. or he may kill it by direct veto or allow it to die through lack of executive action. I.ake.

The measure was ostensibly introduced to legalise an omission in rt-p lm salary laws bv which no provision was made for feed me prisoners in the small counties of the state. Lake and Marion counties, howerer. were not so affected by the oversight. but someone saw the opportunity of shppinc a .joker in the bill which would include the two populous counties in the list- of those in which the once-outlawed daily fee basis was to be restored.

• II HIDDEN For 121 YEARS Biographers of Napoleon have always lamented the absence of personal correspondence between Napoleon and his second empress, Marie Louise. CVher material thev had in abundance. But these letters they needed to complete their research of the most momentous years of Napoleon's career, so thev might cet the intimate insight into Napoleons character and personality necessary to justly judge him and his place in history. Now. after being held a closely guarded secret by the descendents of Marie Louise for 121 years, these long sought letters have been brought to light in the castle of an Austrian archduke, offered for sale, and purchased for a prodigious sum by the French government. More than 300 in number, they give a wholly new view of Napoleon the man, showing a side of him that has never before been disclosed. I You'll want to read them from beginning to end.

Lighting Company Buys Continental Bank Bldg, for Principal Offices

Utility to Take Title Monday to Nine-Story Structure on Monument Circle, Also Retaining Present Quarters: Price Not Revealed. The Indianapolis Power and Light Cos. Monday will own the. nmestory Continental Bank Building at the southeast segment, of Meridianst, and Monument Cireie. Final details of the transfer will be settled that day. Purchase of the building by the utility company for use as a main office building was announced today, but purchase price, reported to be very favorable, was not revealed. The utility will remodel the building

to suit its office purposes and probably will move in early this summer. Old Quarters Retained Present offices of the utility now are at 48 Monument Circle, where they have been since 1896. The buiiding probably will continue to be used by the company even after the main offices have been moved. The Continental Buildings, erected in 1927. now is owned by the Continent Building Cos.. Inc., which was reorganized out of a previous holding company, placed in receivership last, summer. Leslie a. Colvin, contractor, is president, of the company. and James P. Goodrich, former Indiana Governor, is an officer. Thp building has a frontage of 74 feet 2' 2 inches on Monument. Circle and 87 feet 7 inches on Merid-ian-st.. It, is constructed of reinforced concrete and the outside walls are of Bedford stone. It is fireproof. Alterations to Re Made H. T. Pritchard, acting president of the light company, said detai,s of the plans for alterations were not complete, but that the former banking quarters, unused for several years, probably would be arranged for cashiers’ cages, and a large portion of the remaining floor space on the first floor probably would be used to display merchandise. Mr. Pritchard said it was probable that the second floor balcony would be connected with the first by an escalator as well as the present elevators. Many individual desks will be located on the balcony. Mr. Pritchard said an air-condi-tioning plant for the first floor and balcony will be considered for next, summer.

ADMIT THEFTS, POLICE DECLARE Three Youth Confess 30 North Side Raids, Is Claim. Indianapolis police delved today into the vicious operations of fences who have made burglary profitable to a gang of youths, three of whom the poliee say have admitted 30 thefts from North Side homes. While police quoted the youths as saying they had, on several occasions. thrown much expensive jew - elry into Fall Creek for expediency, the young prisoners also said, police announced, that they had sold much of it, to private individuals. Those under arrest are Eugene Goble, 18, of 5646 Carrollton-av, and Lowell Harmon, 21, of 6032 Broadway, who are charged with burglary, and a 15-year-old Broad Ripple boy, who is held at the Juvenile Detention Home. The crime ring began, the youths are quoted by the police, as saying last, July. Nearly all occurred when parties were in progress in the victims’ homes. The youths said, according to police. that, they would ride around on their bicycles until they saw what seemed t,n be a. party in progress. They would dismount and peek into the windows to verify this. Then, leaving one on guard, they would sneak into the house and, finding rooms where wraps were left, search them and take whatever appeared to be valuable. The boys were said by police to have recalled 30 homes so entered and robbed, and admitted there must be others they can't remember. police asserted.

By United Press ATLANTIC CITY. N. J.. Feb. 9.—A vaccine which created immunity from infantile paralysis in tests has been reported by Dr. John A. Kolmer, authority on immunization and director of bastenologiral research at Temple University Medical College. Dr. Kolmer said the day is near when the vaccine will be universally uspd to combat the spread of the disease. Describing the tests made upon himself, his two sons, and 25 children in the University hospital, Dr. Kolmer said: “I knew I had no immunity. I took a dose under the skin last July. I was frightened for a few days. Then took second and third doses. Later my blood showed plenty of anti-bodies. I next immunized my two sons with three doses each. It was successful. I then tried it on the group of 25 children successfully.” OHIO MAN IS NAMED PAVING GROUP CHIEF National Brick Association Elects New Officer*.

STATE JOINS CHILD LABOR HONOR ROLL Great Reform Triumphs by Straight Party Vote in Upper House. APPROVAL GIVEN 33-12 Indiana Is 24th to Ratify; Minton and VanNuys Rejoice. Indiana today had taken its place as the twenty-fourth state of the Union to approve the abolition of child labor through Federal legislation. By a straight party vote, the Senate/ of the Indiana Seventy-Ninth General Assembly yesterday afternoon ratified the Child Labor Amendment to the Federal Constitution. 33-12. Every Republican member of the upper house voted against ratifying the amendment, which its advocates have termed the most farreaching social legislation of a generation. Two Democratic Senators claimed personal interest and were excused from voting. One of them was Senator Leo X. Smith 'D., Indianapolis), a lawyer, who offered to explain his personal interest if any Senator wanted to hear it. No one seemed to care. The other member excused was Senator Larry Brandon (D., Auburn). VanNuys Sends Message In Washington Senators Frederick VanNuys and Sherman Minton issued statements congratulating the members of the General Assembly for their action. “I have been heartily in favor of the Child Labor amendment,” Senator VanNuys told The Indianapolis Times representative in Washington. “There was no logical reason for opposing it. We have practically had the same effect, as the amendment in force under NRA. On that feature of NRA there has been high praise and no criticism. “Failure of Indiana to have ratified the amendment would have been a black mark on the history of the good old Hoosier state,” Senator VanNuys concluded. Before leaving for Indianapolis, where he will address a meeting of the Democratic Press Association, Senator Minton also expressed satisfaction with the result. .Tenner Takes Negative Ratification was supported in de-

bate by Senator E. Curtis White <D., Indianapolis). The Republicans selected their youngest member— Senator William E. Jenner. Paoli—to present the negative side. Senator Jenner objected to the amendment on two main points—legality and merit. Senator White pointed out that ratification would aid in outlawing child exploitation: that Federal regulation is necessary to remove low-paid children from occupational competition with adults in other states, including Indiana, where child labor is*permitted. Warden Lawes Quoted The Indianapolis Senator quoted Warden Lewis E. Lawes of Sing Sing Prison, as saying the largest group of criminals as men who were forced into labor as children. “We pay from day to day a heavy tribute to those states that have no child labor laws,” Senator White declared. The. two Senators admitted that Indiana has adequate child 1 bor laws. “But.” demanded Senator White, “is it not the duty of America to protect her chlidren, whether they are in Indiana or Tennessee or Florida or wherever they are?” Rosevelt Urged Approval Senator Perry' H. Inman (D„ Winslow) said he voted for the amendment because other states never will pass child labor laws of their own. Ratification was urged by President Roosevelt to make permanent the temporary outlawing of child labor by NRA Codes. The amendment also was supported by Gov. Paul V. McNutt and the Governors of 23 other states. Approval of 12 more states is necessary before the amendment b®comes effective. Idaho completed it* approval Thursday night.

Taking Water Over Side The Seth Parker gave her position as approximately 720 miles east of the Samoa Islands and 600 miles northwest of Tahiti. Mr. Lord wirelessed the National Broadcasting Cos. through Mackay radio early today: “Taking solid water over side now.” This message was repeated several hours later. At 2:30 a. m. (P. S. TANARUS.) the United Press received a report from Radio Corporation of America that the Australia was 300 miles from the schooner and was proceeding toward her at 20 knots. The S. S. Franconia at the same j time was within 600 miles of the stricken vessel. Sends Weather Report The Seth Parker was making about “four miles an hour” through the storm. An auxiliary schooner, she uses both sails and a. gasoline or nil engine for locomotion. As the gap between the schooner and the rescue ship slowly became less, Mr. Lord sent the following report on weather conditions: “11 p. m. zone plus one; barometer 29.60; wind force six; high \ squalls: heavy northwesterly seas; j course east southeast; position longitude 158.45 west; latitude 13.15 | south.” The barometer was close to normal. A wind force of six is approximately 50 miles an hour. Mr. Lord and his crew are sailing around the world. They started from a Maine port last year.

NEW RADIUM SOURCE )S FOUND IN CASPIAN Soviet Government to Construct Extraction Plant, By Science Seri ire. MOSCOW, Feb. 9.—A new source of radium has been discovered. Plans are now under way for the construction of a radium extraction plant on the ilsand of Tcheleken in the Caspian Sea. Tests by the institute for Rare Metals here show that water from wells on this isolated island contain up to a half milligram of radium for every 1000 cubic meters of water. At current American prices of $60,000 for a gram of radium some S3O worth of the valuable radioactive element could be obtained from the volume of water in a tank 20 feet in diameter and 10 feet wide. Pumping and extraction plants will be built on the island this year. GETS BACK SSOOO SENT TO CLEANERS IN SUIT Returned to Texas Capitalist by Owner of Plant, By United Press HOUSTON, Tex., Feb. 9.—E.

GRANDMOTHER OF SLAIN BABY TO AID STATE Defends Violet Sharpe, Her Maid. Linked to Crime by Defense. CLAIM FISCH ABSOLVED Accused Furrier's Sister Denies Brother Was Kidnaper. BY SIDNEY B. WHIPPLE Ptpss Staff Correspondent FLEMINGTON, N. J., Feb. 9. The state hammered away at the alibi of Bruno Richard Hauptmann today, announcing it would summon Mrs. Dwight VV. Morrow, grandmother of the slain Lindbergh baby and one of the country's wealthiest women, to assist it in sending the taciturn German carpenter to the electric chair. Holding the first Saturday ses- ’ sion since the trial began mar# ! than a month ago, Justice Thomas i Trenchard pressed for early conj elusion. The su f e will complete Its 1 rebuttal and the defense may complete its sur-rebuttal today. Monday and Tuesday the lawyers will sum up, and late Tuesday, Hauptmann's fate may be placed in the hands of the jury. In rebuttal yesterday the state disproved to its own satisfaction a large pari of Hauptmann's alibi. Today, according to Atty. Gen. David T. Wilentz. it will undermine the last vestige of the defense. Concentrate on Clearing Fisch ! • Yesterday, the state concentrated r>n clearing the name of Isidor Fisch, dead German furrier, whom Hauptmann claims gave him Lindj bergh ransom money. Today, through Mrs, Morrow and others, it will clear the name of Violet Sharpe, servant in Mrs. Morrow’s household, who committed suicide just before, she was to bp. questioned by police in conneciton with the kidnaping. The. state will show that Miss Sharpe had been engaged to the Morrow butler. She accepted another “date” the night of the. kidnaping and had been emotionally overwrought at the possibility of her fiance discovering her fickleness. The defense insinuated that she and Fisch belonged to a gang that kidnaped the, baby and collected $50,000 ransom from Col. Charles A. Lindbergh . Arch W. Lonev. a government employe, was en route, here from Washington to testify for the, defense in sur-rebuttal. He was subject of a bitter accusation bv Hauptmanns chief counsel, Edward J. Reilly, that Harold L. Ickes. secretary of interior, had told Loney not to testify for the defense. Mr. Reilly was reprimanded by the court, and in Washington Mr. Ickes said Mr. Reilly was a “liar." He had told Loney to testify if he wanted to. After Mr. Reilly’s ref* erences, Loney decided to come here. Hauptmann Is Glum Mr, Reilly announced today that Loney would completely refute the evidence of Arthur Koehler, government wood expert, who testified that Hauptmann built the kidnap ladder. Loney, however, said he would testify about the blades of carpenters' planes and would show that Hauptmann’s plane was not necessarily the plane used on the ladder. Hauptmann himself was glum as the end of his long trial approached. He was shaken yest "day by the testimony of Hannah I sch, who, speaking through a Gei.nan interpreter, testified to her brother Lsidor’s poverty when he returned to Germany to die. He also was made unhappy by the testimony of other witnessses who said they were with Fisch the night of April 2, when the ransom was paid. Mr. Wilentz said he would conclude his rebuttal at “noon or l o'clock.” The defense probably will have not more than two or three sur-rebuttal witnesses, including Loney. The nerves of opposing counsel were worn to the breaking point today. Mr. Reilly and Mr. Wilentz have snapped at each other during the last few days, forgetting their usual courtroom courtesy. Friend* outside of the court, there is little of this freindship showing as they duel over the testimony of the few remaining witnesses. One of the rebuttal witnesses was Leo Singer, a Bronx resident to whom Louis Kiss was delivering two pints of home-made rum on the night he says he saw Bruno Hauptmann in Christian Fredericksen’* bakery. Singer will say the delivery was not March 1, 1932, the evening of the kidnaping, but at least 10 day* later. Slories that Mr. Reilly refused to visit his client in the Hunterdon County jail last night were explained by the fact that Mr. Reilly was "too busy chasing up Loney and other witnesses” to spend any time with him. Col. Charles A. Lindbergh will not be called as a rebuttal witness, the prosecution said.
