Judge McElroy. patently relieved at ner ■ turn, permitted a short interview at the airport, however, when Miss McElroy brushed aside her tears and smiled as she spoke of the trouble she had caused.

I know it is what they deserve and I feel capital punishment is right, but it doesn't keep me from thinking. “Why did I run away like this? I just had to do sometnmg, to tiy to get away from it all. maybe get away from myself. I wanted to be where I wouldn't be ’that Miss McElroy who was kidnaped.’ I guess. I’m glad to be back with dad, but I'll still have to face all the old conditions, all the old thoughts.” Miss McElroy has visited the McGees in the County Jail here and at the prison at Jefferson City.

Keep the system alkaline; an add condition invites colds and other weakening disorders. Keep the bowels open so poisons will not accumulate and lower your resistance. To relieve constipation take a little Phillips’ Milk of Magnesia which is not only a most effective antadd, but an excellent laxative as well.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

BOND POLL BILL HITS DRIVE FOR CLEANSTREAMS Proposed Measure Requires * Election to Authorize Financing. BY ARCH STEINEL Times Staff Writer Indiana’s effort to stem stream pollution was threatened today in a House of Representatives bill which would prevent issuance of bond' without a favorable vote of residents of offending municipalities* Effect of the bill upon essential powers proposed in the Conservation Department's pollution bill were pointed out by The Indianapolis Times to interested groups. Hurried consultations between the Attorney General’s office and Fred Eley, conservation department attorney, resulted in the framing of an amendment to the proposed $1.50 tax levy bill to prevent its interference with the stream pollution program. Election Is Required Introduced almost simultaneously with the stream pollution measure, by Rep. Bennett H. Rockey (D. t Sharpsville) and Karl D. Nottingham (R., Muncie), the bill—known as H. B. 292—would prohibit taxing units from issuing bonds except upon approval by the majority of the taxpayers in an election after a petition of election is sought by 20 per cent of the voters. The section of the bill would nullify a provision of the stream pollution measure—H. B. 293—which amends 1932 Acts and does not require approval of the voters on the construction of a sewave disposal plant following state orders. Mr. Rockey’s measure, although inferring that it forbids only bonds payable from taxes, is interpreted by Mr. Eley and officials of the Department of Conservation to undo the pollution measure which permits the issuance of revenue-producing bonds or direct obligation bonds. Bill Seeks Clarity Lack of clarity in the bill introduced by the Sharpsville Representative, which is backed by an influential group of five tax reduction organizations, would bring into question the provisions of the stream pollution measure bonding powers and would open the way for attacks against the law, Mr. Eley and conservations officials agree. The key to ending Indiana’s stream pollution for all time is seen in the conservation measure in that it would permit cities to issue bonds without recourse to ballot, board or the bar. It permits issuance and retirement of revenue bonds through service charges where cities issue the bonds for the construction of sewage disposal plants. The stream pollution measure was to have been placed on third reading in the House yesterday, but was held up pending framing of an amendment to be tacked on the tax bill introduced by Mr. Rockey. Relief Bonds Also Involved The tax measure is in the hands of Judiciary B committee and has not been reported out of committee or placed on second reading. Rep. Rockey’s bill, in addition to playing havoc with the stream pollution bill, would, if passed, result in the necessity of poor relief bonds being issued only after an election had been held on petition of 20 per cent of the voters of a township. This, it is pointed out by observers, would mean that in Center Township, Indianapolis, it would be necessary to get the signatures of between 35,000 and 40.000 voters before an election could be held to determine whether poor relief bonds may be issued.

6 HELD IN PROBE OF HOUSE LOOTING RING Local Warehouse Owner and Auctioneer Seized. With the arrest of six persons in Indianapolis and two in Decatur, 111., in connection with an alleged ring of house burglars, police today j began an investigation into the op- : erations of local warehouses and auction establishments. Charles Mills, 57, auctioneer, and Francis D. Wereley, 40, of 529 W. ! 54th-st, operator of a furniture warehouse and auction business, were arrested yesterday on charges of receiving stolen goods and failure to report used goods purchases. Also held here are Arthur Smith, 33; Hattie Boyer, 43; Hugh Boyer, 29, and Mrs. Marie Boyer, 23, all of 2412 E. Washington-st. Clarence j and Bessie Holcomb are held in Decatur. The Holcombs have signed confessions implicating those held here in burglaries in Terre Haute, according to police. LEASING OF FACTORIES FOR JOBLESS URGED Operating of Idle Hants by State for Relief Advocated. The fact that 500,000 persons are now on relief rolls in Indiana offers no solution to the unemployment problem, but is rather a confession of failure on the part of the state to control the productive processes of industry, H. L. Seeger, Indianapolis contractor, told a group of Negro business men at a. meeting of the Monday Luncheon Club in the Walker Theater Building yesterday. He advocated the state's leasing and operating those factories in the state which are now closed for lack of business and producing there goods which persons on relief would normally buy if they were employed in private industries. MOTHERS’ CLUB TO MEET Gathering of Group Will Be Held at West Side School. The Hawthorne Kindergarten Mothers’ Club will met at 2 tomor- j row in the school. Ohio-st and Belle Vieu-pl, to hear Mrs. Ida Conner of the Indianapolis Pre -Kindergarten Society speak on “Heading 02 Dis- j obedience.”

SOCIALIST PARTY OF STATE TO ORGANIZE Officers to Be Elected at Session Here Feb. 24. The Socialist Party of Indiana will hold a state convention here Feb. 24 to elect officers and effect a permanent organization. The national executive committee

lof the Socialist Party recently rescinded the charter of the Indiana ! organization while members of the Indiana group were conducting a [ referendum on a proposal to repudi- ; ate the declaration of principles I adopted by the national party at j Detroit last year and to withdraw from the national organization | which supported these principles. Many Socialist leaders in Indiana | feel that the Detroit declaration ' commits the national party to a more radical and opportunistic plat- , form than that favored by most of ! the Indiana party members, who prefer to align themselves with the
