Ways and Means Committee Of the A.
sembly have sliced $3.5oo,o00. Much OF
The reductions In sinecures, travelling ex-
penses for Office holders and unnecessary
departments and bureaus.
Some observers predict that an extra
session OF the Legislature will be forced
by the Democrats in their fight for pat
ronage. which may deadlock the Legisla-
ture on the appropriation bills. the As
sembly being Republican and Senate
Democratic.
Others insist that as the cut in appro-
priations has been made for the sake OF
economy. the civil service employees of
most OF the departments having been left
untouched. the Democrats cannot logically
oppose the reform and 40 before the
people at the State election next fail with
any hope OF victory.
Some of the departments which are the
hardest hit by the cuts are Education

MARSHALL IS TURNED DOWN.
Indiana Democrats Reject HIN as
keynote Convention Orator,

INDIANAPOLIS, March Vice Presi.
dent Marshall will not preside at the
coming Democratic State convention,
March ~. nor deliver the keynote speech
on that occasion. The committee. under
the leadership OF the Taggart forces
turned down the Vice President and
selected Gov Ralston for the honor.
Before the committee met friends Of
the Vice-President urged his selection
on the ground that he holds a dstin-
guished office and that he Is entitled
to make the opening speech to the party
in the State meeting. the first held
after his election. The opponents OF
Marshall declared that he has done nothing
to advance the claims of Indiana Demo-
Gratis at Washington that he IN taking
no interest In their appeals for Office and
that he seems to think the party got all
II needs when he was chosen to the
second highest Office.
Seeing the committee would not choose
Marshall. his friends presented the names
OF Kern and Shiveley. but met no en-
couragement. Gov Ralston was then Sc
lected and will deliver the first campaign
speech for the party.

Opposition to BilIs.

Judge Swami Of General Sessions the
father Of number OF bills pending at
Albany which II passed will change In
many respects the methods of criminal
procedure. learned yesterday that there
Is underground opposition TO his measures
One OF the most important changes sug-
gestsd concerns the position OF a defendant
as witness at his trial. As the law now
stands a defendant may take the stand In
his own behalf and his failure to do 20
does not create any presumption against
him. Judge Swami would 30 amend the
law as to make II permissible for the Dis
trict Attorney to comment on the failure
Of q defendant to testify. II Ia now legal
error to refer to II.
At the second trial Of Charles Becker,
should this bill become . law. 1t will be
possible for the District Attorney to com
msnt should Becker fail to be . witness
for himself.
1t In not suggested by Judge Swami that
any particular interests oppose his bill. but
because Of the awe with which lawyers
regard their profession. He points out
that there 10 nothing radical in the pro-
posed amendments. and the Bar Associa-
non has Endorsed them. hut he cannot
rally to their support iswyers vsrsed In
