INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 12. (UP)— — Although not mentioned in first anV nouncements of inaugural plans, Governor Ed Jackson will participate in the ceremonies, it was declared when “Anal arrangements" were made by the committee in charge and approved by Governor-elect Harry G. I^slie. Leslie will take office at the inaugural ceremonies to be held in the t state house rotunda Monday.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 12 (UP) — The door wa- dosed definitely today against any farm relief legislation at
this session of congress.
Senator McNary»<w Oregon, chairman of the Senate agriculture committee, announced at the conference with President-elect Hoover that he would not press his measure at this session, but would wait until the extra
session.
That session, it was learned after McNary’s visit, will be called about April 15 to take up both Farm Relief and traffic revision with the intention of completing those measures and adjourning hy July 1. Others who were to di-russ the Farm problem with Mr. Hoover were Sam H. Thompson of Chicago, president, and Chester H. Gray, legislative representative here, of the American Farm Bureau Federation which supported the old McNary-Haugen bill, twice vetoed hy President Coolidge. The President-elect is expeetd to heal- additional opposition to retention of secretary of the Treasury Mellon from Senator Couzens, Repn., Michigan, long-time foe of Mellon. The Mellon-Couzens feud date- hack to 1924 when the two wrote each otherlong letters arguing about tax policy, followed later hy Couzens’ investigation of the International Revenue Bureau, with a climax in the $11,000,000 tax suit brought by the government against the multimillionaire Michigan Senator who blamed it upon Mellon. Couzens’ objection to Mellon would be the third brought to Hoover in the last three days, both Senators Brookhart of Iowa and Nye of North Dakota having previously expressed their opposition to the treasury secretary.

GET SECOND REPRIEVE
BATON, ROUG9, La., Jan. 12 (UP) —Governor Huey P. Ismg today granted Mrs. Ada LeBoeuf and Dr. Thomas Dreher a reprieve until Feb-
ruary. 1.
The State Supreme court late yesterday granted the condemned couple
Gross all
for their playing which only goe- to show that I!ausman has eight boys he can depend upon instead of only five. It was a great victory for the Cubs after last week’s let down. Holding Martinsville and Vincennes each to 5 (joint victories and defeating Crawfordsville had been the high lights for the season. However, after the overwhelming victory over Elwood after the latter had nosed out Richmond, who in turn trounced the Muncie Bearcats Friday night, is perhaps the biggest feature of the present season. Next Friday, the strong Bedfotd quintel will play here. The Stone City aggregation is one of the leading contenders for the state championship title and if the Cubs are "on" a- they were against Elwood, this encounter promises to be the best and hardest fought battle on the home floor this
winter.

It was considered likely that with Harlan’s election, a president pro tem Senator W. F. Hodges, Gary, who ha requested the chairmanship of the judiciary committee might receive the position.
