(By Associated Press) INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 24. Flood prevention work in Indiana, as also the development of water-power, hinges largely on topographic mapping of the state, according to a statement issued by Dr. W. N. Logan, state geologist, which urges support of a bill now before the state legislature to provide Junds for the federal government agents to make the map. "We have no assurance that the disastrous flood of 1913 will not be repeated in Indiana," says the state teologist. "In fact the concensus of opinion is that by robbing our water sheds of their growths of timber we have invited frequent floods. The first step to be taken in any flood prevention is to have made accurate topographic maps of all water sheds. When

these maps are completed the amount of all flood water is easily computed for each drainage basin as all of the streams and the areas drained by them are located and the fall of each f-tream is indicated &3 well as suitable sites for impounding structures. Consider Plant Locations. "The power requirements of Indiana are at the present time about one and one-half million horse power. All except an almost lnflntestimal amount Is 'produced by the consumption of our fuel resources. No more than 10 per cent of Indiana's potential water power has been developed. The most favorable locations for water power plants in Indiana will not be definitely known until preliminary surveys have been made and no plants can be established without the preparation of detailed maps of the drainage area 8. "The topographic map furnishes the necessary data for determination of plant site area of run-off. position ot lakes and streams and the essential facts necessary to the engineer for making his estimates. This information must be secured before power plant companies can be convinced of ihe desirability of plant locations in Indiana. Would Co-operate With U. S. "The division of geology of the department of conservation is trying to secure funds for inaugurating a topographic survey in co-opera.tion with the United States Geological Survey. According to the plan of co-operation the expenses would be shared equally except that the expense of printing the maps would be borne by the national government. The funds provided by the state would all be used in paying the actual field expenses of the men engaged in the work. LENINE "21 POINTS" SPLIT SOCIALISTS 'tBy Associated Press) NEW YORK, Jan. 24. Nicolai Len5ne'8 ultimatum to the socialists of the world, giving them the "21 conditions" to which they must subscribe before they can be received into the Third or Communist Internationale of Moscow, has met with a widespread, if in many cases negative, response. It indicates a decided split in the ranks of the Socialist party in many countries judging by reports from abroad. In the fifteen nations where such opinions have been expressed, four have been unqualifiedly against entering the Third Internationale, one is undecided, three are divided and seven in favor are opposed by determined minorities. ( Lenine demanded, among other things, that Socialist organizations must purge themselves of all moderates, defy all national laws, undermine armies, gain control of the press, throw off the allied "yoke." promote a world economic crisis, condemn any league of nations, aid the soviet government and abandon for the blood and fire of "red revolution" all conservative democratic programs. France Has Women Bandits; Same Lead Burglar Gangs (By Associated Press) PARIS, Jan. 21. Women bandits are becoming nearly as numerous as their male counterparts in France and a number of them have already been u nested. The polce have just arrested a gang of burglars who have long been wanted by the authorities for housebreaking in the suburbs and discovered that Ihe gang was led by a widow aged 54 r. nd lior three sons. Another of the burglars was aided by his sister and two other women formed part of the band. Many of the robberies were accompanied by particularly brutal assaults. News of the Counties LYNN. Ind. Mrs. Julia Thomas, who was suddenly stricken with illness Wednesday evening, is reported much improved in health. Mrs. Thornas was found on the floor by her husband when he returned from a meeting in the church here, which she had left, earlier in the evening. The revival program at the Friends church here for the past three weeks has been very successful. Much good has been done in the community by the series, and the powerful sermons by the Rev. Jamss. of West Milton, have accomplished wonders. Solo and duet work by the Ilinseys of Richmond has been an attractive feature, and able assistance has ben rendered by the large chorus. Capacity houses have attended practically every night. MEXICAN RAILROADS RETURNED TO OWNERS (Iiy Associated Press) MKXTCO CITY. Jan. 24.

By Edwina Protected By George Matthew Adams REV. BROWN, MINISTER, OF WINCHESTER, DIES WINCHESTER, Ind., Jan. 24. William C. Brown, 79, a veteran of the Civil war and a minister of the Friends church, died at his home Sunday morning at 3 o'clock, from heart trouble. Mr. Brown was born in Wayne county, near Williamsburg, but at the opening of the Civil war, lived in Ohio and entered the army with the 93rd Ohio Volunteer Infantry. . He lost his left leg at the battle of Stone River, and lay on the battlefield for nearly a day before receiving any medical aid. For many years he was in the shoe and grocery business, but retired ten years ago. The funeral will be held from the Friends church at 2 o'clock, with interment in Fountain Park. Two sons and three daughters survive. SCHOOL LEVY (Contirued from Page One) ception of one member the roads committee of the house is in favor of a generous appropriation for the highway commission. Representative Anderson, chairman of the committee has let it be known that he virtually favors the sky as the limit and it is presumed that he will stand for the 20cent levy. Highway Question. Those who are in favor of an unusually high levy for the highway commission expect it is said to find some opposition to the proposal among the representatives from rural communities who believe they should be permitted to have control qver the selection and Improvement of local highways. It is said that plan may be pushed for turning back the receipts of the auto licenses to the counties. In some quarters the belief is expressed that this would act as a sort of sop for the rural communities and would make them willing to stand for a high levy for the highway commission. Want Primary Amended. In the senate this week bills to amend the primary election law are likely to come to the floor for discusion. There is now a lot of gossip as to the fate of the Beardsley bill which would provide the convention system for the nomination of candidates for Governor and United States senator. The view is expressed by some that this measure stands a better chance in the senate than In the house. This is contrary to the opinion that was expressed one week ago. The gossip now is that most of the members of the senate are older and more experienced in political work and that they have come to believe that, there is a smaller chance to slip up when the party holds a rather tight rein over nominations. Primary Appeals. In other words, that under the convention system there is a better opportunity to study the qualifications of aspirants for office. But in the house there are many young members, some of them under 30 years old. The talking point of the primary plan that the people shall have the right to pick their nominees may, it Is said, make a strong appeal to these young fellows. In this connection, the statement the other night by Oswald Ryan, the young Anderson attorney, at the public hearing on the primary, was significant. The present period of unrest, he said, was no time for taking any power away from the people, thus indicating that the spirit of Bolshevism might be spread by returning to the convention system of nominations. Dims Argument. It is true that he rather dimmed his argument when a few minutes later he said the direct primary had been abolished in Iraho in order to shut out the non-partisan league, but nevertheless his first remark was directed at what is taken to be a vulnerable point of the opposition. There is considerable speculation as to what Senator New may have to say on the primary question when he comes to the city this week. The prediction that he will say nothing at all except that it is a problem for the legislature and the governor to work out, is generally accepted- as the correct one. While it is well understood that many of the closest political friends of Senator New favor the return to the convention system, it is not seen where it would be of any advantage to Senator New to get into the fight personally. Governor Influential. As has been stated the final outcome of the primary question in the LOSE YOUR FAT, KEEP YOUR HEALTH Superfluous flesh is not healthy, neither is it healthy to diet or exercise too much for its removal. The simplest method known for reducing the overfat body two, three or four pounds a week is the Marmola Method, tried and endorsed by thousands.

legislature may depend pretty largely on the attitude of the governor. If he should put on the screws and call in the members of the state organization' as it has recently been hinted he might do, the outlook would be different. Many believe he could not change the result even by that method but there is no , doubt that he could exert a lot of power. Before the end of the session Representative Willis of DeKalb will be one of the busiest men in the legislature. He is chairman of the house committee on legislative and congressional reapportionment and to his committee will fall the task of making a new legislative apportionment and most likely a new congressional apportionment. Already the members of his committee are at work on the legislative apportionment It is announced. But of course the question of apportionment will not be brought to the floor of either house until it has been well thrashed out In committee. While the matter of apportionment is a "necessary evil" it is generally regarded as a political task and it will not be permitted to interfere with action on important measures such as the appropriation bills. Outcome Uncertain. In case the United States senate does not act promptly on the bill to hold the representation in the United States house of congress at its present figure it is difficult to tell just what the outcome of the congressional apportionment enterprise in Indiana will be. If no apportionment is made at this session and later action is taken by the congress along the line of that already taken by the senate it will be necessaray to elect the gongressmen-at-large in Indiana. The only alternative would be a special session of the legislature for the purpose of passing a congressional reapportionment bill. It is not believed that Governor McCraya or other party leaders would look with favor on a special session. Fear Complication. On account of the probable filibustering in the United States senate there is a fear iat final action may not be taken before the end of the legislative session and that the complicated situation may arise. It was expected that Lieut.-Gov. Branch would today call the attention of the senate to the reapportionment problems that are faced. It is understood of course that the members of the Republican state organization will take a hand in the reapportionment plans. One of the so-called school teacher proposals in the legislature is said to have had its origin partly in a situation that arose not long ago in the Indianapolis schools. The Indianapolis incident related to a high school teacher named Carrell who was let out by the Indianapolis school authorities. Friends Rally. Friends of Carrell and particularly the Indianapolis League of Women Voters rallied to his aid, and an effort was made to force the superintendent of the schools to make public the reasons why Carrell was not reemployed. Although strong pressure was brought to bear the superintendent stood pat and the school board backed him. The assertion made by some was that Carrell had made himself obnoxious by his activities in connection with a so-called teachers' organization or union at the Technical high school, where he was employed as a teacher. Urge Civil Service Rules. According to the bill that is proposed by some of the teachers civil service rules would apply; teachers would be appointed for a probationary period of one year and after that time if they were accepted it would be impossible to lower the salary of any teacher or to discharge any teacher except by action of a majority of the school board and after a public hearing. Except among teachers the bill is looked no with considerable doubt Those who oppose the plan say that its backers are looking to the welfare of the teachers rather than the welfare of the pupils. They draw the analogy of the man conducting a private business who would be compelled to call a committee meeting and give a public hearing before he could discharge one of his employes. Arguments Conflict. This might be a very good thing for some of the employes they say.

but would be a bad thing for the business. The argument made by those who oppose the plan is that a school superintendent is hired because he is supposed to know how to select teachers and to know what teachers should be retained. They can see no use in hemming him about with a great many rules relating to public hearing and other ceremonies that must be undergone before a single teacher can be discharged. While the proposed civil service arrangement is being boosted by a number of Indianapolis teachers it is known that It will have opposition from rather powerful sources in Indianapolis and elsewhere before final action is taken on it. It is apparent that a great many legislators have their knives ready for devces that have been used in the past to extend ready aid to criminals. The number of bills that have been introduced relating to criminals and other action that is being taken show that the period of slushy sympathy for the criminal in Indiana Is at an end. The senate the other day took quick action on a bill by English to provide a sentence of from 10 to 20 years, a fine of not more than $5,000 and disfranchisement for persons convicted of committing or attempting to com-

j mit robbery by violence. It was passeu wiiuuui a. uifseiiuug voie, oeiog me third bill passed. Increase Penalty. In other case favorable action was taken on a measure that would greatly increase the penalty for vehicle stealing and would take away from judges the power to suspend sentences anad would greatly limit the power of the governor in the matter of pardons or paroles. This was the Hartzeil bill which was advanced with only one dissenting vote. Senators Holmes and Steele have in

troduced a measure fixing the penalty for robbery or assault with intent to commit " robbery at life imprisonment. In the house Cooper has a bill that would fix life imprisonment for conviction on a robbery charge where the defendant carried dangerous weapons. Urge Imprisonment. Filbert has a bill providing for life imprisonment where two or more persons seize an automobile to escape after committing burglary, robbery" or grand larceny.' Boner has a measure in the house providing life imprisonment for those attempting to rob banks or trust companies and prohibiting paroles until at least one-half of the maximum sentence has been served. It may be of course that some of the anti-crime measures with conflicting provisions will be killed but it seems certaian that after this session is ended the road is going to be rocky for the Indiana criminal. The low minimum sentence for serious crimes It is admitted has been bad. Often a very dangerous criminal has been automatically admitted to parole after serving one year or less of his sentence. It is said that the Terre Haute man named McDonald who shot up a Terre Haute court room a few years ago killed one man and seriously injured another is now at liberty. His case is only one of many. May Curtail Pardons. It is such cases as this that lead to the measures to hedge in the parole and pardon power more closely. The report that Governor McCray may leave the matter of pardons largely to the superintendents and trustees of state penal institutions is interesting in his connection. The pardoning power of the governor is a constitutional power, but there is nothing to hinder him from leaving

the power in the hands of the trustees and superintendents of the institution as long as he goes through the form of giving executive approval to their acts. Nor is there any reason why the legislature can not limit the pardoning power of the governor, whenever such limitation is thought desirable. May Limit Powers. The constitution says the governor shall have the power to grant pardons to prisoners "within such limitations as may be provided by law, or words to that effect. The movement for a law giving cities the right to adopt a commission form or commission manager form of government . appears to be meeting with favor among a great many legislators, some of whom have had sorry experiences with the governments of their home cities. Knapp Prepares Bill. Those who are in favor of the plan which is embodied in a bill prepared by Representative Knapp of Wayne county, point to the rise and fall of Don Roberts in Terre Haute as a very good example of what may happen when the government of any city is dominated by politics. And what appears to be more significantt, Roberts has returned to Terre Haute from the federal prison and is said to be very busy building up another political machine in Terre Haute, and is reported to be meeting with some success. Point to Shank. Samuel Lewis Shank, Indianapolis, is also being pointed out by some as a horrible example. Shank, who is chiefly qualified as an auctioneer, was elected mayor of Indianapolis, and when the first serious crisis of his administration arose, he quickly resigned and permitted his city controller to become mayor. As far as could be seen the only reason a may-

or would resign in the face of a crisis would, be his feeling that he could not cope with the situatiton. Three weeks after he resigned. Shank probably could have been nominated as mayor, but be came back a few years later and came very near getting the nomination, and he is back in the race again this year. It is doubtful whether many of Shank's most intimate friends would say lie was equipped in an expert way, for the management of the affairs of a city.
