REPUBLICAN HOUSE CLOSING UP RANKS : FOR NEW SCHEDULE t fRy United Press) WASHINGTON, Aug. 31. The Re publican majority in the House 13 now devoting a good deal of its time (unofficially) to "internal politics. Voluntary retirements among the "old timers" and involuntary retire ments decreed by "fickle voters" In the primary elections that have been held thus far have already been so numerous as to necessitate an almost complete new deal in the republican organization in the lower branch. Ana tne scramble Is already on. The vacancies do not have to be filled until next March 4, when the new congress come3 in, but by that time tno problem of making the new se lections will c-e only a matter of rati ficatlon. The "slate" is being made up now. May Oppose Gillet There Is little real talk of putting up a man to contest with Speaker Gillet in the next congress and so the republicans are giving first thought to the position of floor leader, which Rep. Mondell, of Wyoming, vacates this year to either go to the Senate or retire. Several members are being prominently mentioned for Mondell's job. chief among them being Nicholas Longsworth of Ohio,; Sydney Ander son of Minnesota and Will K, Wood of Indiana. Longsworth seems to have the inside track and if he gets :the place, the son-in-law of the Presi dent Roosevelt will at last step into the prominence his friends say he has long deserved. Next in line, and probably first In ;real importance, comes the chairman 'ship of the powerful rules committee, which really decides what the house will do, and when. The present chair man, Phillip Campbell of Kansas, was beaten for. renomination. Kep. is. n Snell. of New York is the aanking re publican member and will be promoted ,to the chairmanship. Important Committee The chairmanship of the ways and means committee will be vacant, due to the retirement of Rep. Joseph Fordnev. of Michigan. If the seniority rule is followed, Rep. Green, of Iowa will ascend the gavel throne. Longsworth is next in line. The chairmanship of another influ ential committee may be vacant. Rep Winslow of Massachusetts is consid erin drooDine out of politics. His wife wants him to and it looks like she'll win. If there's any serious effort to un seat Speaker Gillet. the three mem bers mentioned for the floor leader ship probably will be the strongest candidates for the place. But at least one of them, Longsworth, has said he would not enter a contest with Gillet. The list of congressmen already scheduled to leave the House at the end of their present terms on March 4 includes 27 Republicans, most of them wheelhorses of the party.

Gover nor McCray declared today that he was inclined to favor placing the con trol of boxing bouts under a state commission. He did not indicate whether he would submit any proposals to the legislature which meets next January, but said that if the cre ation of a commission were authorized by law that he would assure the se lection of men of high class as mem bers durins his administration of state affairs. Revival of the boxing game in In diana with frequent bouts being held in different cities has served some what to center attention on the sport especially since the governor's action to cancel the match between Dempsey and Brennan scheduled for Michigan City on Labor Day.

The total cost has been approximately $300,000.

MILLION MEMBERS IN FIVE YEARS IS GOAL OF CHRISTIAN CHURCH (By Associated Press) WINONA LAKE, Ind., Aug 31. One million new members in five years was the goal set for an intensive evangelistic campaign by members of the Disciples of Christ church (Christian church) in convention here today. This program was outlined by Rev. Jesse M. Bader, superintendent of evangelism. The program was originally inaug urated, Rev. Bader explained, in 1920 The evangelist said that during the first year 125,000 new members were added bringing the total membership in the church to 1,277,281. Figures on tho 1922 campaign are not yet avail able, it was said. Simultaneous evangelistic campaigns will be opened in the states of the west and northwest this fall, it was said, it is noped that many new churches will be added and "dead" churches revived. Campaigns will open m Indiana and Illinois the first Sun day in October under this plan. "We believe that Christian educa tion is the way to solve the Indian problem," declared Rev. W. F. Turner, secretary of the United Misionary so ciety, today, in discussing plans for greater activity among the Indians. 'There are now 340,000 Indians in the United States," he continued, "and onethird of these are unrelated to any Christian community and are almost wholly unreached by any Christian ministry. These vidians have never been assimilated and this seems strange in the fact of the fact that since 1820 we have assimilated 20,000,000 foreigners." v ASKS $10,000 DAMAGES CLEVELAND, "Ohio, Aug. 31.

VOTES FOR WOMEN ; IS LATEST SLOGAN IN ANCIENT EGYPT

(By Associated Press) CAIRO, EGYPT. Aug. 31. The members of the first Egyptian parliament, under the new constitution, are to be elected in October( and already political interest, not to say excitement. Is running high. All-men over 25 years of age are entitled to vote. Women, nevertheless. are in no sense idle. They are making a good fight for the franchise, eveTi though the odds are greatly against them, for Egyptian men look upon their women kind as possessions rather than co-workers in life. The , president of The Mothers of the Future of Egypt is Madame Aneeseh Hanum el Rasheedy. Sneaking on the emancipation of her sex rej cently she said: "The women of Egypt should be allowed to vote because they are fit for it. We shall soon win our fight because the Koran and the world are on our side. The Koran says: 'The woman ought to behave towards their husbands in liko manner as their husbands should behave towards them, according to what is just.' "It is absurd to allow a citizen to exercise the franchise merely because he is of the male sex, white highly educated Egyptian women, from .Princesses downwards, are to have no say in legislation on questions that affect them equally with the rest of the population. The civilized nations already have adapted the .principle of woman suffrage. Egypt cannot afford to drag behind and still maintain her prestige in the eyes of those nations." The men, at the present time, are inclined to dismiss the aspirations of the women with the generality that the average woman in Egypt today does not possess the qualifications necessary to intelligent voting. Earlham Day Dodger Girls To Hold Picnic at Park Announcement is made that the Day Dodger girls of Earlham college, including those who will attend the college this fall or have attended as day students during recent years, will hold a picnic Friday afternoon in Glen Miller park. A large attendance is de sired, and as many girls who will, bo able to be present at the picnic are urged to attend. All are to meet at the first spring on the main drive of the park, across from the east entrance to the Chautauqua grounds, at 5:30 o'clock promptly, and are to bring basket suppers.
