ASK SMALL DENOMINATION

There is an increasing demand that
when the bonds to cover the cost of
the erection of the new high school

advocates of such an issue that the
denominations ought to be small so
that as many local citizens as care
to have opportunity to secure their
possession. 1t is pointed out that in
the majority of cases where a large

that very few private
citizens had chance to obtain any.

Speaker Honan today ordered from
the floor of the house every person
not a member or wife of member.
This action was due to the ferocious
activity Of the lobbyists, who almos :
crowded members out of their seats,
and off the floor. The Speakers ord
er had no effect, as the lobbyists
paid no attention to it. The Tomlin-
son liquor bill will not be reported
out by the senate committee for sew
eral days. The house passed a bill
to legalize contracts with tax ferrets.
where no appropriations were made
to pay their commissions. The bill
has already passed the senate. 1t is
intended to permit payment in six
counties in the state. where such con-
tracts had been made between ferrets
and commissioners, and no appropria-
tion by the county council to pay the
ferret's commission.
Economy Is Scorned.
The house today passed the Halleck
senate bill for additional superior
court Judge at Hammond by a vote
of 63 to %, and the Bowser senate
bill for new superior court at Gary
by vote of y to 10. Both bills have
passed the senate and are now ready
for the governors signature. Speech
es urging economy in public expendi-
lures had no effect.
The senate killed a bill to create a
board Of plumbers examiners in
cities. It was charged this would ere.
ate a plumbers trust in each city.
The house and senate voted to invite
Senator Beveridge to address the joint
session while here for the tariff con
ference. No time was set.

the funeral of Chief Justice Marshall,
he says. This crack began at the lip
of the bell, where the metal was three
inches thick, and extended toward the
crown, distance of twenty-nine inch
es. The crack was later drilled out,
with the hope that the bell could be
rung without further splitting it and
still hold its tone. Since that time it
has never been tolled.
But gradually the original crack
has heightened, until now it is forty
six inches long. Although no meas

has grown on every occasion and who
