INDIANA SENATE VOTES TO RATIFY 'DRY' AMENDMENT Federal Prohibition Measure is Approved by Vote of 41 to 6. INDIANAPOLIS. Jan. 14. The Indiana senate yesterday ratified the federal prohibition amendment by a vote cf 41 to 6. The house of representatives Is expected to vote in favor of he resolution today, thus adding Indiana's name to the list of states ratifying the amendment to the federal constitution. Senator McConaha of Wayne county voted in favor of the measure. A ripple of handclapping swept over the senate chamber, most of it coming from the senators themselves, when, at the end of less than half an hour of consideration, the roll clerk announced the vote that ratified the amendment In the upper branch. Comparatively few person were In the lobbies or the gallery, outside of a 8 mall group of prohibition workers, among whom J. Frank Hanly, former governor of Indiana and now editor ot the National Enquirer, a prohibition organ, was most conspicuous. Mr. Hanly went to Lieutenant Governor Bush's rostrum shortly before the vote was announced and made a brief speech expressing bis gratification. No Speeches In Support. Senator Franklin McCray of Indianapolis and Senator Thomas Dorrell of Greenwood offered the resolution ratifying the Federal amendment. No speeches were made in support of ratification, and Senator Charles A. Hagerty of South Bend made the only speech in opposition. Senator Hagerty read from a manuscript. He contended that nd state should try to fasten unwelcome laws or regulations on other states. The . a u ..1, reaerai amenameni. ne nam, w uu-, versive or personal iioeriy. Bum also that senators supporting the state prohibition law passed two years ago could consistently oppose the federal amendment, since the state law applied only to Indiana,' while senators were asked now to support a measure that would govern forty-seven other states, which they did not represent. Advance Resolution. Senator Andrew H. Beardsley of Elkhart moved a suspension of the rules and the advancement of the prohibition resolution to third reading and passage. Senator Hagerty immediately moved to table that motion and asked for a roll call. The vote on this motion to table, and on the Beardsley motion for suspension of the rules and immediate passage, was 42 to 5, Senator Aaron Wolfson of Indianapolis voting with the majority on the parliamentary questions although he opposed ratification of the amendment on the final roll call. Those who voted against the measure were: Senator Charles A. Hagerty. South Bend; Charles A. Erskine, G'.vansville; George Y. Hepler, South Pond; Jacob C. Kolsem, Terre Haute; Hmes J. NejdI. Whiting; and Aaron Wolfson, Indianapolis. Senators Arnold. James and Van Auken were absent. M'CONAHA MADE Continued From Page One.l liers several weeks ago, at which, he said, it was intimated strongly what the appointments should be. "I have closed my eyes entirely to any pre-sesslonal meetings," he declared. Explains His Stand. He said that he consulted the senators and held "open court" in order to hear their requests for appointments. Wherever it was possible, he said, he acceded to their wishes. Where he did not there was no reflection on them. He recalled that a few weeks ago he agreed to the appoin ment of senators by Governor Goodrich to draft the Republican platform tills. He had been embarrassed, he added, because he was expected to appoint these senators on certain com inittees. but, he continued, that he had not committed himself to appoint them on the committees to which their bills would be referred. He said there seemed to be a feeling in some quarters that there was an ulterior purpose on his part in making the appointments Before reading the committees he said again that he does . not propose to be intimidated. Munton Makes Reply. Senator Munton. in speaking from the floor on the failure of the Lieutenant Governor to appoint him to the finance committee, said he would have explanations to make to the people of the senatorial districts which he rep- ' resented as to why such action had lipen taken. Senator Munton said that he had spent weeks of labor in making investigations of state institutions and preparing data and information regardpg them, and he felt the state was being deprived of the knowledge and information ho had so acquired. "1 have no criticism to make, howover, of the Lieutenant Governor's act'cn," said Senator Munton. "I do not wish to be made the subject of any controversies which have arisen between the Lieutenant Governor and another state official. I am ready to do whatever part is assigned to me and to the best of my ability." REFUSES APPOINTMENT LONDON. Jan. 14. Stephen Walsh, 'alrrite, has refused to accept his appointment as parliamentary secretary o the president of the board of trade, wh'ch was announced on Friday. His retirement leaves only four labor representatives in the government, compared to eight in the previous administration. To ascertain approximately in how many years a sum will double itself at compound Interest one has only to divide sixty-nine by the interest rate. A SEVESTV'VEAK OLD COVPI.B Mr. and Mrs. T. B.

Popular Election to i

Change Name ot I own INDIANAPOLIS. Ind.. Jan. 14 Citizens of East Germantown. which has been designated aB-Pershing by the Postoffice Department, were informed yesterday by Charles Kettleborough, director of the Bureau of Legislative Information, that the popular procedure to get a change of the town's name will be to hold a popular election and not try to do it by act of the Legislature. The courts have held that acts changing names of towns are unconstitutional. Postmaster General Burleson recently ordered the name changed from East Germantown to Pershing for postal purposes, but separate action la needed to adopt a new name for the municipal corporationSeventy citizens signed a petition for a change of name. Fifteen persons refused to sign the petition. WITH THOSE III ARMY AND NAVY This column, containing news of Richmond and Wayne county soldiers and sailors, will appear daily in the Palladium.

M., 18th Infantry, with the American forces in France was wounded on October 2, according to word received by his mother, Mrs. E. A. Williamson, of R. F. D. 3, New Paris. Mrs. Williamson has not heard from her son for six weeks, and had not been informed as to the seriousness of h's condition. "Washed my hands In the river Rhine at 10 o'clock this morning" wrote Charles G. Bowen to his mother, Mrs. Charles Bowen on DecemberlO. "Will probably cross the Rhine yeFtoday," he continued.

Left Luxemberg on December 1, . ni.naatA tht moraii into Germany trnnMtt nt all with the German people, and after these ten days of hlkine through Germany, we are al most at our destination. We have some duties to do across the Rhine here, however, before we leave the country. I only hope to start back to the States soon. Believe me it looks good to see the steam boats passing up and down the river as we will likely go out the Rhine to the ocean. It may be that we will be the first experienced troops back, as we were the first up to the Rhine. Corporal Orville Teaford is spending a week's furlough in the city with relatives and friends. Corporal Teaford is stationed at Camp Taylor, Ky. Mrs. Albert Ogborn of Dublin has recently received a letter from her husband who is stationed in France with the American Expeditionary forces. He says: "I expect my letters have been pretty uninteresting but I can tell you more about myself now. I am on the active front now and a short time ago we were surely putting the Huns on the run. I would not care to go through it again. It was not exactly funny to go over the top under artillery fire as we did between November 9 and 11, but the cause is all right and I'd be ready to do it again. "Talking with the Germans after the signing of the armistice, we ascertained that they were very glad the war was over. If the war had continued there wouldn't have been very many of them left, that is sure. "Do not worry about me for I am getting three good meals a day and am dressed warm enough to go round the north pole." Howard Benn, chief quartermaster on the U. S. S.

THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGR AM

LEGISLATORS HAVE VARIETY OF !W BILLS INDIANAPOLIS. Jan. 14. Young girls and boys will not he permitted to be on the streets of Indiana cities after 8:30 p. m. in tfce winter time and after 9:30 p. m. in the summer time, if a bill, which will be introduced by Representative Charles A. Phelps. Republican, of Ft. Wayne, is enacted at this session of the Indiana legislature. Mr. Phelps, who has a nation wide reputation as the "friend of the boy," believes that enactment of such a law and strict enforcement of it will reduce appreciably crime in this state, make better citizens of the youths when they are of age, and lower the cost of operating state institutions In the years to come. Watch Him at Night. "You do not have to worry about the boy or girl in the morning," said Mr. Phelps, "but you should know where he or she Is at night." He added that every parent should be required to keep his children off the street at night, away from questionable motion picture theaters, poolrooms and know who their companions are. The only exception to young children being on the street at night, which -Mr. Phelps would make in the law, would effect those who have a written excuse giving a good reason for the child not being at home. In effect the proposed law would take the place of the curfew law. Less necessity is seen for such a law by Mr. Phelps in cities and towns in the state of less than 2,000 population than in the larger cities. MAY RAISE DOG TAXES. Dog taxes would be raised as a step toward safeguarding Indiana sheep owners in a bill which Senator George Y. Hepler, of South Bend, will place before the senate soon. Captain James E. Southard, representative of Laporte county, will father the bill in the house. The bill would also force dog owners to muzzle or keep their dogs at home after a certain hour of the day until dawn of the next day. FIGHTS REGISTRATION LAW. An attempt to repeal the present Indiana registration law will be made during this session of the legislature possibly within the next few days according to Representative John Winesburg, North Manchester. Expressing absolute dissatisfaction with the law on behalf of his constituents, Mr. Winesburg declared it was one of the most unjust and expensive ever enacted in this state. "I shall try to induce the legislature to repeal the law entirely," the representative said, "and then we can set about preparing a law that will be equitable and just. My constituents in Wabash county do not want the registration law to apply to them because they do not want to nominate persons for public offices whom they distrust. This same sentiment, I believe, will apply to all thinly populated districts." Governor Goodrich has under consideration a plan to amend the present law so as to make it apply only to the larger cities. Under his plan, the law would affect only a few cities in the state. Representative Winesburg declared this plan would be satisfactory to Wabash county, but that he was heartily in favor of enacting a new law instead of amending the present one. He also advanced the idea that the registration should be left optional with counties and cities. Attorney General Ele Stansbury said after a moment's consideration of this plan that he thought it would be constitutional. TO CUT PRINTING BILLS. That the state of Indiana should establish a department of printing, in which all state printing would be done, and which eventually might be used for the publication of text books, used in the public school of Indiana, is the belief of Representative James I. Day, Republican, of East Chicago. He said he expects to introduce a measure, providing for the state to do its own printing at this session of the legislature. Mr. Day said that the saving which he believes the state would effect by his plan would amount to thousands of dollars annually. By publishing the school text books he believes that a direct saving to parents of school children also would result. He has asked for legal advice, relative to the constitutionality of the state engaging in the printing business. Dr. Lindley Speaker at Friends' Round Table Dr. Harlowe Lindley of Earlham college, was the principal speaker at a meeting or the Frienfi Round Table Club held in Indianapolis Monday evening.

DROP III PRODUCE PRICES IN CHICAGO (By Associated Pre) CHICAGO. Jan. 14 Storage butter and eggs are scarce here, , but fresh butter and fresh eggs are in good supply and are to be bad today at a drop in prices from recent high figures, according to dealers in the products. Butter, in storage is under 5,000,000 pounds, as against a usual supply of 50,000,000, it was stated, and eggs have fallen to 50,000 cases as against a normal supply of 250,000 to 300,000 CA S8 "The situation simply is that only a few have storage butter or egga and knowing they cannot get them again, they won't sell," S. Edgar Davis, president of the Chicago butter and egg board said. "Those who have them are saving them for their favorite customers and won't sell outside their own trade. The shortage in storage butter is the result of the government taking over sixty per cent of the stocks for the army and the storage egg situation is much the same. Favorable weather has resulted in a good supply of both fresh butter and eggs. The result has been a break in prices." CONTRIBUTED VERSE A 1919 RESOLUTION. When your work seems all in vain And discouragements besetj Grit your teeth and try again, . Faint heart never, triumphed yet. Resolution, faith and grit Even mountains can remove, While a cheery smile will fit And the task will easier prove. Only uphill part the way, Then success is easy gained, If devotion lights the way Thi3 by loyalty attained. Let us never pine nor shirk Nor our mission ere forget, But with conscientious work, Strive with vim the pace to set. As examples stand we then, Where Industry's wheels revolve, Let us show to working men How contentment can absolve. For it is the only thing Worth the while down here below It success will surely bring, As through this old world we go. Then let us no effort spare, This glad tidings to spread wide Then will we have done our share And a little more beside. If our fellows, quick to see Find we practice what we preach, They in turn will soon agree Successis in easy reach. Arthur H. Lawlor.

ITALIAN AVIATORS GAINED NEWS OF ENEMY ACTION (By Associated Press) ROME, Jan. 13 During the period just before the great Italian offensive started, considerable attention was attracted to the extraordinary accuracy of the knowledge of affairs behind the Austrian lines In possession of General Diaz and his staff. It is now known that much of this exact information was secured by men who were dropped In enemy territory by Italian airplanes and after an interval for observation, . picked up and brought back by aviators. During the three months just prior to the launching of the Italian drive eighty men were engaged in this per ilous work. All of them had thrilling adventures and experiences. The story of Captain Rominati may be taken as representative of what might be related by any of them. Captain Romiati served as a doctor in an Aus trian hospital for ten days and later made his escape in the guise of a cattle dealer. Lieutenants Mazo and Tubero were arrested as spies, but managed to overpower their guard and escape. The first of the "airplane spies" was Giacomo Camillo De Carlo, a Venetian, who volunteered for the dangerous work. Before the war he was head designer for a widely known firm of modists in Paris. He was a bold and resolute officer and in addi tion to owning some property in the invaded district, wrhere he was known and loved by the peasants. He was carried across the Austrian lines in an airplane, taking with him a number of carrier pigeons. These he liberated from time to time with messages to the Italian staff. He was sheltered by the peasants, but was at last detected and forced to flee. He made his way to the seacoast and managing to get a row boat, reached an Italian port. His success led to the formation of a regular service among bold young Italian officers. This was known as I the "giaovane Itala" and played an important part in preparing for Italy s final victory.

IF there has been as great a man in the United States during the past fifty years as Theodore Roosevelt he kept his light hidden under a bushel, figuratively speaking. To our way of thinking there hasn't been a man since Lincoln' with the breadth of vision, the statesmanship jand the leonine courage of Col. Roosevelt, whose passing into the great beyond during the past week brought sorrow to myriad hearts. Mind you we do not say that there has not been as wonderful a man intellectually and morally, but if there has been such, he has not disclosed himself to public gaze, criticism and condemnation. No, truly great man ever escapes public analysis, and without enemies and friends born of positive convictions and actions no man may lay claim to the greatness which leaves impress upon his time and contemporaries. No man in public life in this or any other generation that we can recall has had as vivid a conception of the values of publicity. Colonel Roosevelt used to time his public utterances and writings whenever possible so that they might appear in Monday newspapers. He knew the psychology of advertising. He knew that universally throughout the United States it is the custom of merchants not to advertise extensively in Monday's papers. Monday's papers, he figured accurately, are more open for news and in order to secure widest publicity and most generous treatment of what he wanted to convey to the public mind he gave his utterances to the press accosiations on Sunday afternoon. From the cradle almost to the grave this greatest of contemporary Americans, we are almost tempted to say this greatest of contemporary philosophers .and statesmen, sought publicity, which is only another name for advertising, and he used it wisely and judiciously. He could no more have achieved his great distinction and position without it than can any merchant or manufacturer who neglects to use printer's ink copiously.
