GERM AN LANGUAGE MEASURE IS KILLED; AUTHOR ON DEFENSE
INDIANAPOLIS. Ind., Feb. 23. Bitterness and an atmosphere charged -with tenseness marked the discussion
of the Bowers German bill when it!
came up for third reading in the senate Tuesday afternoon and was killed when a motion to indefinitely postpone carried on a viva voce vote. The crowded galleries and the side lines burst 4n applause when Senator Hartzell. in his defense of the bill, was interrupted by Senator Cravens, who declared that he objected to any Insinuation that the Germans in this country were tha only persons who were loyal. The lieutenant governor threatened to clear the chamber of spectators if they repeated the outburst. In the tumult that followed the Cravens attack on the speaker Lieu
tenant Governor Branch broke his gavel while pounding for order. As a "result of the defeat of the Bowers bill in the senate, the house commission on education will recommend Tor Indefinite postponement the Representative . Dailey. bill which proposes to permit the teaching of German in high schools as an elective subject. Representative Ahlgren, chairman of the commission, announced this evening that this action would be taken. The report had been held up awaiting action in the senate. Would Delay Action. As soon as Senator William E. Bowers of Allen county called the measure down for passage, a motion was introduced by Senator James Nejdl o" Whiting to make the bill a special order of business for Feb. 24. He declared that he believed it inappropriate to consider that kind of a bill on the anniversary of Washington's birth. Senator Moorhead made a motion, which prevailed, that the Nejdl motion be tabled. In defending his bill Senator Bowers requested tho senators that, he be not interrupted. During his speech Senator Joseph Cravens of Madison made a motion to adjourn in honor of Washington's birthday. The motion was voted down and Lieutenant Gov
ernor Branch apologized to the Allen county senator for entertaining a motion to adjourn while he was speaking. The presiding officer declared that he believed that he had finished his speech when he recognized the senator from Jefferson.
defense argument. He declared the defense had refuted by reputable witnesses the major and minor allegation of the state. The defense rested its case Tuesday forenoon, after examining one witness Dr. D. W. McQueen, who was called to give expert testimony as to the uses and effects of chloroform. The defense had called Dr. Silver as a witness, but owing to the doctor's illness, it was stated, the defense brought its case to an abrupt close by stating it rested its case. Dr. Ned Goodhue, of Dayton, was called as a defense witness, but after putting in an appearance, he, was excused. " Calls Four Witnesses. Four witnesses were called by the state in rebuttal Dr. J. C. Ryder. John; Zelly, rs. Minnie Michael and Miss Von Kanel. Upon objection of the defense, which was sustained, Mr. Zelly did not get to proceed far with his testimony before he was withdrawn from the witness stand. Judge Risinger made special provision for members of the bar to hear
the arguments in the case if they so desired.

INTERPRET
FINAL ARGUMENTS IN GILMORE CASE READY
EATON. O., Feb. 23. Final arguments were to be entered upon this morning in the trial of Craig Gilmore. local married man, whom Miss Amy Von Kanel. local school teacher, alleges forcibly entered her bedroom in the home of Mrs. Minnie Michael, in the night, and criminally assaulted her. Attorney Dick Shepherd, of Hamilton, was to argue for the defense, while Phil Saylor. assistant prosecutor and a former prosecutor, was to rrgue for the state. No time limit had l-pori placpd upon the arguments. Indications' -were the case might reach the jury by noon. If not by that time, then soon after the noon rccss. The arguments were begun Tuesday afternoon, the defense having rested its case, but not sufficiently ling before the noon hour to begin the arguments. Sever Opens Argument. County Prosecutor Ralph G. Sever rpened the argument for the state. He prefaced his address to the jury by reading the indictment returned by the grand jury against the defendant in the case. He presented the state's side in a clear and concise manner, taking step by step its building. Harry L. Risinger followed with the
French Destroyers Engage With Forces of Bolsheviki (By Associated Press) CONSTANTINOPLE. Feb. 23 French destroyers cruising along the eastern coast of the Black Sea have been engaged with soviet forces at Oagry. a town 15 miles northwest of Sukhun-Kale. Reports received here
state the Bolsheviki lost heavily from the fire of the French warships. Tiflis appears to be still in the hands of the Georgians, who have, however, suffering quite heavy losses. Dispatches received in this city state that the advance of the eleventh soviet army against Tiflis has been disavowed by the Bolshevik government in Moscow.
(Continued from Pace On) Democratic national chairman was Immediately appraised as a maneuver in
the interest of William G. McAdoo. an
effort to convert the chairmanship into
a McAdoo asset for use in the nre-
llmlnaries leading up to 1924.
On the other hand. White's resistance to having tho chairmanship taken from him has been interpreted as a move in the interest of former governor Cox; that, notwithstanding
me Dealing ne received last year, he will put up a vigorous fight for the presidential nomination in 1924. Resent Activities. Many Democratic leaders resent Bryan's recent activities, believing that he is attempting to dictate future party policies. They ask what right has he to do so. They assert that the weight of his name and counsel were thrown against the party's ticket last year; that he held aloof from the campaign and that he made no tpeeches. Thev refer to Bryan's prediction that if the Democratic party mad? its appeal on the neace treaty it would be defeated, and mention the fact that this prediction was frequently quoted by the Republican press and campaien 'spellbiirders." especially after Mr. Cox made his now famous call on
resident Wilson at the White House. Answer Criticism. This criticism is answered bv Mr Brvan's friends, and. incidentally, he still has a substantial following among the Democratci leaders in Washington, that in assuming the attitude he
POST 43 TO ERECT HALL DECATUR ,lnd., Feb. 23 Adams post, No. 43, American legion, will start a fund for the erection of an athletic hall in this city for their own use. Friday evening they will stage a boxing match in the K. of C. hall under the direction of Walter Evans, athletic instructor in the Repert School of Auctioneering. The members of the legion will have the enthusiastic support of the people of Decatur and Adams county in the building of the new hall.
did during the last campaign he, as a party men, was within his rights at all times. -: The commoner's friends assert that feeling as he did about the peace treaty and Governor Cox's record as a wet. he owed it to the Democratic party to express himself frankly before party action was taken. When the party acted in defiance of his advice, the Bryan followers say, there was nothing for Mr. Bryan to do but keep silent. They say be could not stultify himself; that be could not ask for the election of the man he had pronounced unworthy of the presi
dency, nor Indorse an appeal to the people of the futility of which be had no doubt. .
Declare Loyalty.
r. Bryan's friends say that he is as
good a Democrat today as he ever was, and that he has shown himself
possessed of prophecy. "He called the turn on both the nominee and the
platform," remarked a western Demo
cratic congressman. "The country re-1 jected both by such a vote as was
never before known. Why should Mr.
Bryan be punished for being a prophet? Does the Democracy want to confess that a prophet is not without honor save in his own party?" "Lay off this factional fighting" is the advice of the Jeffersonian elder statesmen. Just now it is not being heeded. Senator Smith Explains. Indiana members of congress are
still being bombarded with telegrams, letters and petitions from constituents in regard to the Smith-Towner bill to establish a national department of education. Opposition to the measure is expressed in a majority of these communications, chiefly because of the fear that it has been designed toward ultimate national control of the schools public, parochial and private. Senator Smith, in a statement, denies this emphatically. He states that the bill does not provide for federal domi-

nation but for -federal co-operation.! and that there will be no interference, with the parochial schools if the bill is enacted into law, which seems improbable at this session. He also as-" serts that the propaganda against th
bill misrepresents it. He points out"
that among the important provisions in the bill are those for eradicating illiteracy and for the Americanization of immigrants.
