EXCISE TAX DILL BECOMES FIRST ISSUE IN STATE

(By Associated Press) INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 19. Observers who announced complacently that ' the legislature might as well adjourn row," when the constitutional convention, prohibition and suffrage bills passed the senate, the first two after ratification by the lower body and the latter in such form as was believed acceptable to the house, may have reason this next week to revise their estimates. No one disputes the statement that the excise tax bill, the measure advocated by Governor Goodrich in his special message last week and passed the house Saturday, is one of the paramount issues of the seventieth general assembly. Its fate in the senate, where party lines have been broken down already, is very doubtful, it is contended. Catches Advocates Unawares The suffrage question also is far from decided. The Influences opposed to granting women the right to vote prevented hurried action in the house of representatives after the senate passed the Maston measure more than a week ago. The statement by Speak

er Eschbach that the Alldredge house bill would be put on third reading today, it was said, was a surprise to the suffragists who have not prepared for the resubmission of the issue to the senate, thinking the house would not seriously oppose the only concession the senate granted, that the house indicated a disposition to withhold,

the privilege of voting for delegates to the constitutional convention, in September, 1917. House Amends Measure The house had amended the Alldredge bill to make it effective October 1, 1917, and would thus- have lim

ited the privilege of voting for con

stitutional convention delegates to the men. In explanation of the Republican failure to push "Ave or six Goodrich bills, which floor-leader Senator Robinson predicted would be passed last week, it was pointed out that the injection of the excise tax bill at this late date, eclipsed these minor matters in importance and the Republicans preferred to make their supreme effort to pass this bill, without permitting division on other measures to interfere.

GUARDSMEN POSTED ABOUT COURT ROOM TO PREVENT RIOTS

' (By Associated Press) MURRAY, Ky., Feb. 19 With Kentucky national guardsmen posted at points of vantage Inside and out of the Calloway County courthouse, the case of Lube Martin, a negro, charged with the murder of Guthrie Duiguide, a policeman, wa3 called for trial here this morning. The scene presented was In sharp contrast to that enacted early last January, when Judge Charles Bush aroused such a storm by demanding a continuance of the negro's case, that Gov. A. O. Stanley found it advisable to make a hurried night trip half the length of the state to avert possible mob violence against officials of the court. Today everything was quiet There was little excitement of any sort, and this apparently was the result of curiosity. Last January a mob threatened the life of Judge Bush and commonwealth attorney Denny Smith, when it became known that the continuance in the negro's case had been granted. The two officials spent the night in a hotel which the crowd threatened to dynamite unless the negro was returned for trial.
