COURT BIZ HURRIED TO
THE HOUSE FOR PASSAGE

ment adopted. The bill provides for
two new superior court judges for
Hammond but leaves the circuit court
at Crown Point unmolested. 1T is pro-
vided that one of the new superior court
Judges will divide his time between
Crown Point and Hammond. The other
two judges will sit at Hammond.
Gary, which wanted at least one of
the judges, is left in the lurch and it
is expected that Gary delegation will
be down here to prevent the house. if
possible, from concurring in the senate
amendment. 1t was declared last night
that the Gary men never did cease
fighting the Hammond bill and that
stories of a combination between Ham
mond and Gary to best Crown Point, as
told in the Hobbies of the legislature
are untrue. The measure passed the
upper house by vote of 81 to O and
a motion to reconsider it was voted
down. 1t was then hurried back to the
house for action on the amendment
which provides for the division of time
by judges between Crown Point and
Hammond.

Walter Santisteban, well-known
business man of Columbus. Ind, is
receiving praise on all sides for the
heroic manner In which he saved his
mothers life recently by submitting
to the TRANSMISSION of two quarts Of
his own blood to the veins of his
mother. His mother had suffered
from hemorrhages of the stomach,
and surgeons said that it would be
impossible to perform the operation
necessary to have her life unless the
TRANSMISSION operation be undertaken
first. The son, being in perfect
health. quickly agreed to the ordeal.
and for fifty-ive minutes the blood
from the son flowed into tho veins
of the mother. The operation was
success.

M'CABE ADMITS HE
 CHANGED DECISION

Washington. August 10.--The inVestlsa- tion of the Willy incident in the de- partment of agriculture devolving around the charges that Dr. Harvey W. Wiley as chief chemist, employed an expert scientist at the illegal rate of payment reached an acute stage in the Moss com mittee of inquiry in the House of Repre- sentatives today.
 Evidence showing that Solicitor Me Cabe had removed the words benzoic acid" and substituted the word "caffeine before circulating a judgment rendered against food manufacturer in Mis- souri court, was only one incident in the session full of lively clashes between members of the committee and attorneys.
 The power of the committee to inquire into the Wiley case as it now rests be- fore the President was raised during the hearing today by Representative Sloan of Nebraska. Representative Mays or Florida, replied with vigorous language that he wanted the light turned on everything and that the people are tired of having technical objections made to keep out important evidence"
 MT. Sloan said he thought the commit tee ought first to get the power to in- vestigate the Wiley case, but finally with drew objections to the line of inquiry and said he was willing the investigation should go as far the committee desired.
 Solicitor McCabe admitted to the com mittee that in officially publishing for the department of agriculture court de- cision in Missouri pure food case, he had changed several words In the judg- ment of the court. The change eliminat- ed benzoate of soda from the decree. holding several substances deleterious.
 Explaining the changes in the court judgent, Mr. McCabe said that in the complaint as drawn up by the agricultural department, the charges were not based on the use of benzoic acid and the de- partment had found that some coal tar dyes were not harmful. He made the changes in the order of judgment, there- fore, to make it conform to the original citation by the department of agricul- ture.
 ''The record shows that this firm plead- ed guilty to a charge of adulteration with benzoic acid and coal tar dyes, declared Attorney Davis. but this wit ness admits he changed those words be- fore sending out the judgment as pub lie record
 Attorney Davis asked MT. McCabe whether he had written the findings of the personnel board, which charged Dr. Wiley with having illegally agreed to em- ploy Dr. Rusby, a scientist, at an eX- cessive per diem rate.
