Putile efforts were made yesterday by government officers to locate Roger Decoverly, a v:itness in the sensational ' KIrby case in Federal Judge K. M. Landis' court. Who Is sought on a warrant charging perjury. The hunt for Decoverly, who with his wife. Pearl, ran a rooming-house at 1710 South Michigan avenue, headquarters of the "wire tappers" claimed by Dr. William T. KIrby to have fleeced him out of $20,000, thereby wrecking his private bank, started after Judge Landis had characterized the defense as a "tissue of lies" and ordered District Attorney James H. AVilkerson to investigate. Last Heard of In Gary. The district attorney conferred yesterday with Kd ward Healy and Michael Kesas, attorneys for the creditors of the defunct bank, regarding evidence introduced in the trial. He will lay before the federal grand Jury the evidence which Judge Land 1st characterised as constituting a "frame-up."
Special attention will be given by the grand jury to actions of lawyers for the Klrbys in the case. Judge Landls scathingly denounced the attorneys for the' defense and charged , them.. . with having been responsible for the '.frame-up." At the same time he ordered Dr. KIrby and his wife to be held until they turn over to the receivers $20,000 which KIrby is alleged to have lost to the "wire tappers." The banker and his wife were released from cus tody on bonds pending an appeal. "Decovery, the first witness . to be made the subject of perjury proceed ings, is a chauffeur.

through the window. The elder Klemonlskl shouted at the intruder and. he ran out. Dressing Klemonlskl and his son, Frank, pursued the intruder and caught him near the house. ........ A little while later they turned him over to the police, and at the station he gave the name of Paul Rustach of 760 Delaware street. Rustach, who is 30 years old, was booked on a charge of house-breaking.,' He will be given a hearing In the police court toeay. Members of the Klemonlskl family believe that Rustach is demented, as he has ' previously broken into their house, tfiey, say.. GARY NEGRO MUST REMAIN IN PRISON (Continued from Pace 1.9 sentenced to imprisonment for life. It waa error ' for the trial court to dls- . franchise appellant and make his tn-olis-frili fop office for ten vears. The , moUon to modlfy the judgment should haye been gU8ta,ned. Reversed as to that portion of the Judgment, affirmed as to imprisonment. (2) Where appelant'! brief falls to disclose an offer to exhibit a scar, nor the judge's ruling, no question is presented. (3) Objections to evidence and offers of explanation must b set out in appellant's brief. (4)" Mere reference to the page and line of the record where counsel believe the evidence and rulings are contained in the , record is not sufficient. Appelant's brief should contain enough of the record that the Judge reviewing the case can comprehend the question without recourse to the record. (5) Even granting that the prosecutor's argument and the Judge's answer to defendants ODjecuon was error, it can not be the foundation for a reversal in the absence of a motion to discharge the Jury. (6) An affidavit by defendant's attorney filed in support of a new trial, alleging there were highly colored newspaper accounts of the matter, which he believes the Jury read, is not basis for alleged error, there being nothing in the record proper showing the fact."

THE GRAND RUSH NOT EXPECTED TILL
TIMES BIKE.ir. i AT STATE CAPITAL. Indianapolis, Ind., Jan 11. There is no session of either the house or the senate today, the members having Kone home to rest over Sunday following the hard work of getting the leg - islature organized , and in working shape. The house already has made some progress and he senate is get ting ready to cut loose and get busy. There will probably be little done on Monday, because this Is the day of the inauguration of Governor Ralston and Lieutenant Governor O'Neill, and the legislature probably will adjourn out of respect to the new officials. On Tuesday, however, there will be a grand rush. Bills will be introduced in both houses that day. Already some of the most Important bills have been thrown in the hopper In the house, among them being a public utilities commission bill, one to amend the corrupt practices, act, one to prevent the sale of watered securities by corporations, and several; others. However, there will be a floodof bills on all of these subjects and it may be that the real bill on either subject has not yet been Introduced." ' , The public utilities bill Introduced by Representative Keegan of this city would create a new commission to have charge of all public service corporat'ons. Representatives Spencer of this city and Shlvelj' of Mariorwhave public utility bills which they will introduce, and they are alike with the single excep tion that Spencer's bill provides for the creation of a new commission, while that of Shlvely woul dplace. all of the public service corporations under the jurisdiction of the railroad commission and enlarge the commission. It Is thought, however, that they may get together and introduce identical ' bills in both houses. . These probably will be the bills that will receive most consideration. Representative Van Home of Lake County has introduced a bill to .increase the number of appellate court" judges from' five to ten. He says the bill was drawn by the Lake County Bar association. The recommendations made by the legislative visitation committee for appropriations for the various state Institutions are regarded here as quite liberal, but it is not likely that they will be followed ver yclosely by the legislature. The amounts recommended for the maintenance of the institutions Is q,uite liberal, but the amount
TUESDAY
recommended for Improvements are not so large, Slight increases of salaries are rec ommended In the offices of the secre tary of state, the superintendent of 'public instruction and a few others. j but the total increases recommended amount to only a small sum. ! The committee recommends an appropriation of $1,000 to pay for paint ings of Governor Marshall and former Governor Hanly, the pictures to be placed in the state library along with the pictures of other governors. Another . recommendation is that there be an appropriation of $4,800 to reimburse Governor Marshall for the house rent and light and heat which he has paid for in the four years that he has occupied the office of governor. There is a popular impression that i there Is a law which gives the govI ernor $1,800 a year for this purpose, but this is a mistake. There is no such law. However, appropriations . have been made In the. past to relieve the govern.ora of these expenses. Governor Marshall says lie Is opposed to an allowance of this kind being In eluded - in an appropriation bill be cause he thinks it would be unconstl tutlonal. He says that the governor's salary, which is $8,000 a year, ought to be Increased to $10,000. Senator Netterville says the proposed allowance of $4,800 to Governor Marshall will be offered as a separate appropriation bill and will not be included in the gen eral bill. He says, too. that a bill is being prepared to appropriate $1,800 a year for the governor's house rent hereafter. Whether Governor Marshall would accept the $4,800 if offered to him In the form of a special appropriation is still a question. t - Former Governor Durbin has notified the visitation committee that he will have a' portrait of hi.aself painted and will pay for it himself, to be placed in the library. Representative McKennan of Garrett has introduced a bill to compel all paid lobbyists to register and state the name of their employer, and requiring the lobbyist to file a statement of his expenses within two months after the close of the session. If he fails he would be liable to one year's imprisonment and a fine of $1,000. La Vendor cigars are pronounced exceptionally good by all smokers. Adv. CSED THINGS THAT TOTJ DON'T WANT CAN BE SOLD IP TOH ADVERTISE IN THE TlilES.
A building and loan company in Indi
ana cannot by its by-laws and contracts prevent a borrower from paying tTie mortgage on his home wnenever he desires, according to the appellate cour yesterday. The decision was given in reversing the Marion superior court in the suit ot Frederick B. Adams to cancel a mort gage held by the Union National Savings and Loan association. The lower court held that the proMsion of the by-laws and mortgage stipulating that if the borrower should be in errears for three months In his payments, he should thereby waive his statutory right to redeem at pleasure and thereafter should be allowed to redeem only on six months' notice, was binding on the borrower and he could not after default redeem without six months' ntlce. The appellate court said the law rec ognized the fact that debtors in their extremity would make contracts sacri ficing their raos'. precious legal rights. but that the law would not uphold such contracts. The decision of the higher court pointed to the fact that the debtors cannot waive usury, ex emption and redemption laws, and said: "The statutes and the de cisions of this and the supreme court construing the same, plainly indicate the policy of this state t6 be agafhs the enforcement of such a contract ah is insisted upon by the appellee in this case We, therefore, hold that the stipulation of the by-iaws and thiinstruments signed by the appellant av the time he procured his loan, which aim to prevent him from paying Such loan at any time, are In clear contra vention of public policy, and, therefore, null and void." NEW THROUGH SERVICE TWIXT VALPO AND GARY (Continued from Pats one) lnterurban's Gary and Crown Point division; the Valparaiso and Northern interurban, and cars connection with the air line cars running to Chesterton, LaPorte, and South Bend. More Extensions Shortly.

The limited , will leave Gary mills at 6:40 p. m. being due ' at Valparaiso at 7:09 p. m. Other Gary-Valparaiso cars will depart from Eleventh avenue and Broadway every two hours every odd hour. Competes With Railway. Heretofore Valparaiso employes of the steel mills had to pay another fare after they got off the car at Eleventh avenue. The Pennsylvania road charges 7.50 for a monthly ticket and the worker is taxed 10 cents a day ex tra for carfare. The interurban is do ing the work for $7.00. .-Escape From High Reata. One of the chief . advantages of the new direct service will be a chance for steel workers to escape from the ex orbltant rents charged by many Gary landlords. A decent steamheated fla oi 3 rooms in Gary costs SZ9, 4 rooms $37.60 and five rooms $45 to $50. Rents can be procured for 1-3 to 1-2 this sum in Valparaiso. SIX HEN HI PRISON GIVEHLEMEIICY Life Man Gets Freedom as a Result of Governor Marshall's Action. Governor Marshall issued a parole yesterday to one "life" prisoner, re duced the sentence of a second man serving a life term, paroled a prisoner who wil be turned over to Illinois au thorities and. took action whereby three other prisoners will be permitted to have hearings before the parole board George Mllligan, a "life" prisoner who is seriously 111 with tuberculosis was paroled. It is said that he can not live more than a few months. He will be sent to the home of a brother at Holly, Mich. Mllligan has served six years of a life term for murder. The governor reduced the sentence of Joseph Barcellona, a "life" prison er, to a term of from five to twenty years. Barcellona, who was sentenced from Lagrange county for murder, has been In prison since May 30, 1909, and with his sentence reduced, he will be eligible to have a hearing before the prison parole board at the end of five years. In reducing the sentence the governor took into consideration the ignorance of the prisoner of the laws and the circumstances of his offense. GARY THIEVES STEAL SCALES John Lieberman, Twenty-second ave nue and Broadway, has reported to the Gary police that thieves stole a weighing machine in front ot his store.
