May Bs Included With Tax Question In Legislative Amendments. rmtS BUREAU AT STATE CAPITAL INDIANAPOLIS. In.. May 10. An other special session of the legislature looms as a possibility. The results or tho primary election In Indianapolis, rrerra Hanta and other Indiana cities, la giving the special session plan adtfed tmpstus. Governor McCray ;has Indicated he wCl call a special session in event the tu amendments to the constitution re arpxord at the special election ,ept. 6. His Idea Is to permit the as-W-smbry to met Immediately tax laws In compliance with the proposed ttmendraents should the people stamp H with approval. In political circles, both Democratic ind Republican, the word was goie th round today that the governor "would be asked to include the primary Section question in the program to be et before the law making body. The foes of the primary declare it should ha wiped oft of the statute booko me foon as possible because It Is tending to disrupt party organization. On the other hand the friends of Albert J- Boveridge assert they -will oppose any such action and will attempt t prevent the primary question -'na-epened up In event the assembly Is c unvened. In arguments tr.at have been used against the primary In the past it has em held that tt tends to permit one laity to dictate the nominee, c" the i prosing: rarty. It hs n"t worked ; that way la Indianapolis whore about one-sixth eft the voters of the a" ate cast their ballots The nomination of Lew 5har.ic on t':- Republican tlcke-t has not only discouraged the Republican party in The capital, but it has virtually torn to pie-'ts the Democratic orf an:2ation. The r--ation for t h is lies In the fact that a major part o; !h? Shunit etreng-th is in tho Lernocratic ranks.

In spite ot tremendous draught for a well of its size the water level continued at ion feet from the casing head. Experts were consulted and the; expressed the opinion that Lansing has been fortunate enough to tap one of the huge underground rivers whlcrr underlie the rontlnent. The V. S ideological Survey has located anl charted scores of these mysterious rivers whose source and destination are as yet unknown to man. It Is said that the one passing under Lansingmay have its beginning in melt trie snows of mountainous regions hundros of miles away. FHI1K FHOM OHGAMC MATT EH. Sample" of the water were at once sent to chemists for analysis. The results show the water to be soft which to many s. ems unbelievable when 't is corehlered that it is found beneath strata of limestone nearly a third of a mile in depth. This feature alono indicates a distant source direct from rain and snow. It is also free from any organic matter which lends credence to the theory of ice and snow high above tho vegetation lines on mountain tides. The tests show the water to be perfect for borers as no seal forming liemicals or impurities could be found. The report staled that its softness t:.iaht cause u to form some In steam boibrs but this i easily overcome by inexpensive treatment.
