BANKING SYSTEM CHANGE PROVIDED : III A HOUSE BILL Representative Grube , Introduces Measure Providing For Separate Banking Department of the State.

GUARANTEE OF BANK DEPOSITS IS PROVIDED Representative Sicks Introduces Measure Which Elim inates Boot-Legging Gossip of the Legislature. Palladium Bureau, Indianapolis, Jan. 16. One of the Important bills presented In the senate, yesterday, was that by Senator Grube of Kosciusko and Mar shall counties, by which he proposes to create a separate banking department of the state. At present the banking department is a part of the office of the auditor of state and the auditor has charge of the supervision of all state and private banks and trust companies. He maintains a com plete organization in that department and has several bank examiners In the field examining banks. Grube BUI Would Change. The Grube bill would change all this. It provides for the creation of a state banking commission, composed of the governor, the treasurer of state and one commissioner to be appointed by the governor. This commissioner would have charge of the department and would appoint such deputies as might be needed and also the bank examiners. All the duties of the audi tor under the present banking law would be performed .by the banking commissioner, whose duty it would be to take charge of the supervision of banks, inspect all banks, declare insol vent those that are found in a bad condition and to wind up their affairs. P Bank Deposif Guarantee. Another feature of the Grube banking bill Is that It provides for the guarantee of bank deposits by the assessment of a tax of one halt of one percent of the average dally deposits in nil hanks for a certain vear This assessment would create a fund for the guarantee of deposits and whenever the guarantee fund is below the required amount a special assessment would be made on all banks in pronortlon to their canltal stock " Another hank denosit eiiarantoa bill has been introduced, but the Grube bill is the only one that proposes to separate the banking department from the state auditor's office. Government Mansion Bill. Another important bill is the one in troduced b" Senator Cox, of Marion county, tc nrlate $150,000 for the ' vn v 0 irAOi 1 a .1 a ah A v n I erection t ernor's residence and exeoutive iujioion for Indiana. The house will be erected at some suitable place in this city if the bill passes Just what attitude will be taken on this bill by the democrats is not known, but it is believed they will not consent to the appropriation. During the campaign Governor Marshall said In his speeches that he would not accept any money from the state for house rent, in case he was elected governor, but that he would take his salary of $8,000 a year and no more. It will be remembered that much criticlsm of Governor Hanly was made because he accepted $1,800 a year approprlated by the legislature for house rent for the governor, and Governor Marshall has intimated that he will bring a suit against Hanly to collect back the money, on the ground that the legislature had no right to make such an appropriation because it is in the nature of an addition to the salary of the governor, which the law says, Shall not be done. No Sits Selected. As far as is known now no site has been considered for the proposed new house, even if the appropriation is made. There is a general feeling here, however, that Indiana ought to have an executive mansion and that the governor should not be obliged to hunt around for a rented house to live In. Several other states have them.

And In addition to being direct ed at the boot-legger it is aimed also at the old time-honored growler. If this bill passes a . man cannot go to the corner saloon with the old tin bucket or the pitcher and get a dime's worth of beer and take it home. - It would knock out the growler business entirely. First Junket Arranged. The first junket of the legislature has been arranged for next Thursday night. The Anderson Commercial club has arranged for a big meeting at which will be discussed the merchants i bill for a reform in the methods of i conducting county business. An in vitation was sent by the Anderson club to the legislature for all the "embers and everybody connected with the legislature to attend tms meeting, and arrangements are being made to go. Special traction cars will take the crowd to Anderson, tearing here at 4:30 p. m. and start back from Anderson at 10:30. And every thing will be free car ride and -all. It is expected that this Junket will have an effect on the passage of the bill, which the Anderson Commercial club has all along so earnestly supported. APPROVES PLANS OF NAVY CHANGES Naval Authorities Favor Sec retary Newberry's Reorganization Plan. A MERGER OF BUREAUS SECRETARY STATES THIS WOULD PREVENT THE DUPLICATION OF WORK URGES IMPROVEMENT OF YARDS. Washington, Jan. 1G. Secretary Newberry's plan for the reorganization of the navy department was indorsed yesterday by a board consisting of persons who have been prominently identified with' that branch of the ser vice. The reorganization measures include the increase of the membership

Secretary Newberry also has contemPlated the probable merger of the bure&n of construction and repair and "at oi steam engineering, tnus avoiato some extent the duplication of unnecessary worK, ineir interests Declosely Identified in ship construction, with this idea in view ne designated Admiral W. L. Capps, at the head of ......I the bureau OI construction to act in the same capacity for the bureau of steam engineering. The reorganization has further application than to the department at Washington and contemplates the extension of reforms there to the Tespective branches of work at navy yards, This is with a view to reducing as far possible aH unnecessary work and t the consolidation of shops at the yards whose duties are identical. To some extent this already has been done In one or more yards with good results Board Offers Suggestions. The appointment of this board was the outcome of conferences between the president and Mr. Newberry during which the subject of naval reorganization was discuessed and at Mr. New berrv's suggestion its members were Invited to come to Washington. ' A prolonged session at the navy department, part of the time of which Mr. Newberry was present until called to the cabinet meeting, was followed by a luncheon to the members at the White House, when the question was again thoroughly considered. At its conclusion the following statement I was given out at the White House: "The particular thing for which the conference was called has been achievej. They approved of what has been done thus far and made certain suggesHons as to which the nresident is not vet prepared to sneak." It is said the president approved Mr. Ne.berry'8 plans, some of which he ansSunced soon after his advent into the office of secretary of the navy. However, before all had been put into operation, the president felt it might be well to obtain the views of men who had had experience in the administration of the navy.

GREETED BY

RED

FIRE, CHEERING AHDJIREWORKS Ethusiastic and Non Partisan Welcome Extended Benjamin F. Shively by His Fellow Townsmen. THOUSANDS FORMED THE ESCORT OF THE SENATOR When the Popular South Bend Man Arrived at His Home His Wife Rushed Into His Arms Amid Cheers. South Bend-, Ind., Jan. 16. Ben jamin P. Shively, choice of the Demo cratic caucus of the Indiana legislature for United States senator, arrived in South Bend at 7:15 o'clock last night and was met at the Vandalia depot by a crowd of 5.000 people, who gave him one of the most enthusiastic ovations ever tendered a fellow towns man, who nas neen given political honors, Shively's appearance on the platform of the car was greeted by deafening cheers, the flare of red lights and a display of fireworks, Because of the heavy wind that was sweeping over the city Mayor Fogarty, who had taken charge of the senator-to-be, did not allow him to make an address, but, headed by Elbel's band and the crowd, Mr. Shively was es corted to his residence in the north part of the city, Mrs. Shively was on the front porch to greet her husband, and she was quickly in his arms, while the great crowd cheered with renewed vigor as he kissed his helpmeet repeatedly. The children also greeted their father with loving embraces. Expresses Thanks Briefly, In response to the applause Mr, Shively thanked the thousands for the demonstration in his honor. "This testimonial," he said, "is worth more to me than any honor or fame that can come to me. I know not what the future holds for me but for that I care nothing so long as I wnicn you nave snown me Dy your loyalty and generous support." parade irom tne depot to tne home was through streets brilliantly pfm o r candles and fireworks.

As a tribute to Mr. Shively the St. Joseph County Bar Association, composed of nearly 100 lawyers, marched in the parade. At a meeting earlier in the day the association made preliminary arrangements for a reception in honor of Mr. Shively soon after the legislature rati fies the action of the caucus. Arrange ments are also in progress for a pub 1 lie reception at the Elks' Temple. Accidents Narrowly Avoided. Two serious accidents .were narrow ly averted as the procession moved away from the depot. While several hundred persons were crossing the Lake Shore tracks an express train came rapidly from the west, but all succeeded in getting off the tracks without suffering injury. One man who tripped on the tracks was dragged to safety by two companions. The excitement proved too much for those in charge of a large automobile truck loaded with fireworks, and their carelessness in handling the roman candles set the auto on fire. The score and more of persons on the truck jumped and ran out of harm's way. The fireworks were destroyed an "e tru slightly damaged, MILTON. IND. Milton, Ind., Jan. 16.

DEFEAT OF KERU

MAY SPELL DEFEAT OF OPTIOII REPEAL Split-up in Ranks of Demo crats Is Threatened and Kern's Backers May Support Present County Law. SHIVELY SUPPORTED BY LEADING BREWERY MEN Kern Followers Are Sore at Them for "Butting In" and It Is Reported a Neat Revenge Is Planned. Palladium Bureau. Indianapolis. Jan. 16. There is talk here to the effect that the defeat of John W. Kern for United States senator will defeat the attempt to repeal the county local option law. It has been understood right from the start that the brewers of tba state were backing Benjamin F. Shive ly, the South Bend man who was chosen senator by the democratic caucus. and that Kern was not receiving any brewery support. Now. it is claimed, many of the Kern men are sore over his defeat, and to get even with the brewers for butting in and helping to defeat him. they will vote against the repeal of the county option law. If any considerable number ot them take this stand the law can not be repealed, for it is admitted that at best the vote on the proposition ot repealing it will be very close. orcwers r ougni mm. It is true that Kern numbered among bis supporters some of the liberal element, but they were not brew. era. In the fight against him were two of the largest brewers in the state. Crawford Fairbanks of Terre Haute, and Senator Steve Flem'ng of Fort Wayne. Fairbanks was at first supposed to be for John E. Lamb of Terra Haute, but later changed hla position and came out for Shively. And after the caucus bad made its nomination, the Shively boomers returned to the Denlson hotel at 3 o'clock in the morn ing they found Crawford Fairbanks and Maurice Donnelly, bis Indianapolis manager there ready to receive them. Fairbanks and Donnelly bagged the Shively fellows and thanked them for giving their support to Shively and there was a general love feast. Fleming Hatea Kern. Fleming's fight against Kern of course was based on other grounds than of the brewery. Fleming bates Kern because several years ago Kern defeated blm for chairman of the dem ocratic state committee and that defeat has stung ever since. So Fleming went into the senatorial fight not as a brewer, but for the sole purpose of defeating Kern and, incidentally, to nominate Hoffman if he could. But the fact remains that Fleming Is a brewer and that he was against Kern. Now that the lines have been drawn so clearly as to leave no question ot donbt as to the fact that Kern was defeated by the activity of the brewing Interests Kern's followers are saying things. And Kern himself has promised that he will Issue a statement that will scorrii somebody. He charges that he was double crossed in the choice of a senator -and that those whom he regarded as his friends threw him down. Whether this will Involve Tom Taggart or not is not yet known. bat Taggart has always been close to the brewery crowd and has in fact, been one of the leaders. Repeal Law Threatened. This situation puts the repeal of the county option law In danger, and there Is a good chance for the effort to fail. There Is no question that Kern has many friends In the legislature. .This was shown plainly by the fact that be received 35 votes on the last ballot, while Shively received 42, a bare ma jority. If a dosen or more ot Kern's supporters take a notion to get revenge for his defeat and vote against the repeal of the county option law the brewers may find that they have) made an expensive bargain.
