both from Huntington. as is Rep
Bendel, the author of the bill. and
charges were made on the house floor
that the bill sought ONLY to amply Ia
the city of Huntington.
The bill came before the house on
a divided committee report, the ma
Joflty favoring passage and the
minority favoring indefinite postpone
ment. In the final vote the minority
report was substituted for the ma
jority report by a vote of 50 to 43.

KEEP Eschbach. answering several
democrats, who had spoken on the
bill, said: The vote on this bill will
put to the test. critically. whether or
not this house is standing for econ
omy. The only question that this bill
presents 10 this house is whether YOU

not here as democrats or republicans.

Rep. Branaman. democratic floor
leader. replied TO the Eschbach
speech:

INDIANAPOLIS BRIDGE
THREATENED BY ICE
Fears Expressed That Span
May Give Way-EvanSviIle
Still MenaCed.

INDIANAPOLIS. Feb. 4. - With
hundreds of tons cf ice piled against
the temporary bridge across White
river at w. Washington ST., here to-
day fears were expressed that the
steel structure would give way. A
massive gorge of ice broke at Mobiles
Vile, above here, last night and was
moving downstream today. The
wooden temporary bridge ywas being
guarded constantly andbnb one street
car at a time was anokWedSto cross it.
No apprehension was felt for property
in the low lying dislFirERa abOut this
city. There was small danger of the
river overlooking its banks unless the
ice jams backed up enough water to
cause a flood.
At Evansville, although the govern
ment weather bureaus along the Ohio
river predicted a stage of less than 46
feet, river men declared the water
would go much higher, eclipsing the
record set by the flood of 1913.
Greene river near here. AZ rising at
the rate Of one foot an hour. The
crest of the rush of water will reach
here Saturday, when the flood from
the upper Ohio is due.
