A BILL AMENDING ACCOUNTING LAW

Was Acted Upon Favorably . by the House Judiciary Committee. (Palladium Special) Indianapolis, Feb. 1. Representative Wells' bill to amend tbo state accounting boards law was acted upon favorably by the Judiciary committee Tuesday. The committee signed a unanimous report favoring the passage of tbe bill, though Chairman Corr said the members of the committee would not all favor the bill on passage as it ta drawn. .Wells' bill is the most drastic of tbe bills directed at the state board of accounts, and provides for the reduction of the chief accountant's salary to $3,000, which puts him on equality with tbe chief deputies. It also provides for tbe reduction of the number of field examiners to 20 and the reduction of their pay from $10 to $5 a day, and gives officials accused right of hearing before publication of tbe board's report.. . Tbe bill has many friends in the house, , and a fight is promised. " Have Met Objections. The Judiciary committee is holding tip the administration measures for uniform bills of lading,' uniform negotiable instruments, uniform warehouse receipts and uniform sales. The bills as drawn , have met with objection from Representative' Wise, a member of the committee. John A. Lapp, state legislative reference librarian, told the. committee the bills hould be passed without change or amendment if the uniformity between the states aimed at tn the bills was to be attained. Unless some friend of uniform legislation comes to the front with a powerful push or pull, tbe bills are likely to be consigned to a long rest. . , ,1 '. 'The committee voted to kill Senator Btotsenburg'a bill legalizing bills for publication which are in excess of amounts appropriate This is the first bill passed by the senate to meet laughter at the hands of house committeemen.. , ' " ' Death was meted out to Representative Foor's "Molly and the baby" bill. The bill provided for the appointment of a guardian for' the habitual drunkard and made It an offense to sell 11quibr to such a drunkard. The railroad committee Tuesday decided to report favoring the passage with amendments of Wlder's bill re quiring motormen to have a year's experience before taking charge of a car, and Hammond's bill to regulate the slse and form of switch signals. SEEK MORTFREIGHT C. & O. of Indiana Starts a Campaign. ,Hu8ln'H8 in and out of Richmond to Cincinnati and Chicago and at other way points on the C. and O. of Indiana railroad, and on the C. and O. railroad proper must be increasod. is the edict which has been issued by officials of the company. Energies of both the passenger and freight departments are being directed to, meet, this order. Merchants and manufacturers of the city will be appealed to to give a portion of their business to the C. and O. T. A. Grecnstreet, the freight agent of the company here said that the road's facilities were several hundred cars and thousands of tons a day. The freight business given to tbo road Is not what its representatives feel it is justified in having. Richmond Is ex- , celled by Muncle, Marlon and Peru in the amount of business handled by the road, despite the fact that there Is more competition in those other cities. A CENSORSHIP BY . 1 POLICE DEPARTMENT 'With a few excepUons of cases of the more serious misdemeanors, names of persons arrested, except for felonies, will not be given Out by the police department to tbe newspapers. This change is being made because Superintendent Gormon feels ' that small crimes as drunkenness should not be made public In regard for the families o( those arrested.

Banker Walsh,

IS TO SPARE SHANK Wells' Anger Against Mayor Cools Off. iralladlum Special) Indianapolis, Fob. 1. Representative 8. B. Wells decided not to offer the resolution asking Mayor Shank to climb up on the green carpet before the house and do a fancy danco for blaming liquor law violations on the legislators. Once in the long ago, when Shank was a member of the opera company doing "Uncle Tom's Cabin" Shank used to go to heaven every night on a step ladder as little Eva. Wells figured on a' similar entertainment for the house when he drew that resolution on Saturday, but that was Saturday. "It was not when I drew the resolution," said Wells, "and if there had been a roll call Monday I would have Introduced It before the house, but it occurred to me there might be another sldo to the case, so I called on Mr. Shank.' He told me he had no intention of' saying anything reflecting on the legislature as a body, or iudividually. He convinced me he had been misunderstood, and the matter, so far as I am concerned, will end where it is." . PROTEST JY KELLY On an Educational Bill in Assembly. Believing that the bill before the Indiana legislature which will permit graduates of tbe &tate schools to occupy the office of county superintendent without a license or a special examination is a discrimination against the non-state schools President Kelly of Karlham college voices a protest against such a measure. Taking the matter up with the presidents of the schools of the state President Kelly ascertained that they were also against the measure. Dr. Bryan of Indiana university, Dr Stone of Purdue and President Parsons of tho State Normal strongly oppose the bill. In a letter to President Kelly, Dr. Stone emphatically stated that tbe proposed bill was drawn up without the sanction of any state school and that they would oppose any measure that would discriminate against nonstate institutions. According to the president of Earlham college the bill will not be passed. Further he said that such a law would result in a war between the state and non-state schools similar to the ight a few years ago. Another bill that is causing much disturbance among state educators is the Asken bill which will remove the qualifications for teachers. Under the present law applicants must have had twelve weeks normal training besides being a graduate of a commission high school. To remove these qualiflcattlons would lower the standard of teachers and would be a backward step in progressive education. President Kelly believes. The matter has been taken up with representatives. le The Steaaeh Diepeaaablet Aa operation lor ths removal of tba stomach, ta a Chicago hospital recently, promoted discussion among- the sorffcons whether the stomach could be removed and the patient be none the worse or it. Before thediscussion had wen died out. the patient had died. It demonstrated he could sot live without his stomach.

The debating team which will repre sent Earlham college in a clash of words against the team of Albion college on the subject of the commission form of government, March 17, was chosen at the Quaker college last evening in the final elimination contest on the same subject. Ralph Ratliff of the sophomore class, Bernard Knollenberg, of the junior class, and M. D. Hawkins of the senior class, were given the decision of the judges. Raymond My rick was. chosen alternate. The team will now begin hard practice for the Albion contest. Last year the Earlham team succeeded in winning from the Michigan college, and every effort will be put forward to repeat the success this year. It is believed that the prospects are very good. The contest last evening was between Hugh Jenkins, Bernard Knollenberg and Raymond Myrick on the affirmative side and Ralph Rat lift, M. D. Hawkins and Lawrence C. Davis on the negative side. The Rev. Levi T. Pennington. Gustave Hoelscher, Ray K. Shiveley and Profs. Woodward and Russell acted as judges. STUDENTS REGARD CHAPEL AS A BORE Declaring that many of the student body of Earlham college regard the short chapel service as a frost." as tiresome and having no particular benefit, the editors of the Earlhamite, the college publication, come out frankly in the last issue in advice to the college faculty, asking that the morning exercises be made more interesting to the student body. Of late it has been customary to cut the chapel service as short as possible, often ten minutes being the entire time alloted to it in which the daily scripture reading and announcements aro made and the benediction, pronounced, . Such a routine has become Irksome to the student body, it is stated in tho editorial.- - - . - - - -

MAYORS DIFFER OH

MUSICAL

QUESTION

Darrow of La Porte and Zimmerman of Richmond, Offer Opinions. MAYOR DARROW. "We have not had a single murder and scarcely any crime since I became mayor and I attribute our respectability to the public band concerts given each week during tbe summer.'" Mayor Lemuel Darrow, of Laporte. MAYOR ZIMMERMAN. Music prevent crime? I don't see how it possibly could. Rather on the contrary, it would dray crowds, and where there are crowds there is often times trouble and trouble means crime. If you are looking for means to prevent crime to a greater extent the best thing to do would be to increase the police force. Mayor W. W. Zimmerman, of Richmond. Music In the form of public band concerts as a moral force In the community, for the prevention of crime, has a firm advocate in hon. Lemue4 Darrow, Mayor of Laporte, while Dr. Zimmerman, Richmond's chief executive, in a statement made today, is an opponent of the theory, not the music, declaring that he knows of no possible effect of music upon crime. The subject was brought before the public eye when Mayor Darrow appeared before the house committee on cities and towns at the legislature Tuesday in behalf of Representative Wlder's bill giving cities the right to appropriate money for band concerts. After declaring that he attributed tbe minimum amount of crime in Laporte to public band concerts, Mayor Darrow even intimated that had the notorious Mrs. Gunness lived in Laporte instead of a few miles away, her nature would have been sweetened and softened to such an extent by the music that she might never have committed the crimes which are attributed to her. ' Zimmerman Skeptical. But Mayor Zimmerman says he knows of no subtle, softening forces in the mellow strains of two-steps, waltzes, marches or even symphonies played in B-flat that would cause Richmond's criminally inclined to desist from law-defying acts. An aftermoon in beautiful Glen Miller park with a band as an added attraction is all very nice for the people who like such diversion the mayor says he don't, nothing short of operatic or stage music for him but as for the prevention of crime "No, the best thing to do is to increase the police force." However, despite the fact that the mayor believes the line, "Music hath charms to sooth the savage breast," is merely poetic imagination. Dr. Zimmerman declares however he Is Open to conviction but that until he is shown positive proof of such miraculous power of music, his present opinion holds forth. The agitation started by Mayor Darrow did one thing for the citizens of Richmond-it let them' know Mayor Zimmerman's 1911 opinion on the band concert question for Glen Miller. It also let them hear again the mayor's declaration of principles of economy to which, he said, the failure to ha've band concerts last year could be attributed. Band concerts may be had if the public will pay for them, says the mayor. He declares that he is perfectly willing that they should be given every Sunday, but If they are, he says there can be no ground for kick against the expense and increased taxation. The mayor said that he did not know whether concerts would be given this year. He did not know whether appropriations had been made to meet euch expense.
