CONTEST
 FOR SExNATORSHIP IN
 INDIANA UNSETTLED.

Indianapolis, March s-Results of Indiana's first statewide preferential primary held yesterday were still in doubt early today. Returns on the contests for the Republican nomina- ton for United States Senator and Governor had been received from only about one sixth of the precincts. In these James B. Watson and Harry New were running about even for tn e Senatorial nomination. In the event that neither polls a majority Republi- ca state convention will decide the contest. James A. Goodrich had a substantial lead for the Republican nomination for governor over Warren T. McCray and Quincy A. Myers.
 The outpouring of Republicans at the polls was surprise. In a number of precincts various parts of the state the voting had to be suspended for a time while more Republican ballots were printed. The progressive vote was very light and the Democrats did not display their full strength.
 It was estimated that about 65 per cent. of the total vote in the state was cast.

Man With One Hand
 Gets Auto License

Irving Collins of Mansfield Village whose right hand has been amputat- ed, appeared for a hearing before Secretary Charles D. Burnes yester- day afternoon at the Capitol to show reason why an automobile operator license should be granted him.
 Collins is the owner of a car that he has rigged up so tnat he can oper- ate it with his feet and steer it with his left hand He is the owner of a poultry farm in Mansfield Village and has an interest in a summer ho- tel at Waterford. Because his abusi- ness calls him frequently from one place to the other, he asked for 8 li- cense to operate the car.
 Although he was concerned in an accident last April, one month after he began to drive his car, witnesses testified that the accident ''did not amount to anything Collins was told that he might take out another license, but was cautioned to drive carefully and avoid bad roads
 A hearing was listed for George c. Falls of Bridgeport but he was not present and no testimony was heard in the case.

VERDUN BATTLE IS RENEWED BY
 GERMAN DRIVES
Struggle Taken Up With Intensity All Along
 Whole Front.

Paris, March S.-The battle of Yer dun developed both in intensity and in extent all day yesterday and IS now raging along the line from Chep- by in the Argonne to Fresnes in the Woevre, showing that the second att tack for the stronghold is to be made on a larger scale than the first. So far, according to the reports received here, the Germans by employing mass es of men without counting, obtained some slight gains to the west of the Mouse and in the Woevre where they carried F'resnes after fierce struggle. Desperate fighting is again going on the left bank of the river. Following up the advantage of yesterday, the Germans, going around the foot of the slope which served them as a mask, Following the railroad and entered Regnieville. From there they launched 15, 900 men against Hill No. 265 to the east of Cote De L'Oie and carried it.
 The French withdrew their right from within the top of the Mouse and it now rests on the Mouse above Gu mieres. This withdrawal from an ad- vanced position on the left bank be- came necessary, according to the mill itarys experts, in order to maintain alignment with the positions on the right bank and it would have been difficult to hold the advanced point which the Germans could at the same
 
 Having thus obtained command of the slopes leading to the principal French positions which run from Beth incourt to Cote De L'Oie by the north eastern spur to LeMort Hornme and the woods of Corbeaux and Cumieres, the Germans without losing a mo- ments time hurled masses of infantry against these positions. They gained a footing in the Corbeaux wood but elsewhere their attacks were repulsed with heavy losses. In this district centers at present the chief interest of the battle and supreme effort of the German troops Is awaited by the French with confidence. They rely on the strength of their defensive prep arations. The occupation of F'resnes is considered as of only secondary i'm portance since the position was an advanced one and not worth the in curing of heavy, sacrifices to defend.
 
 Crude oil prices were advanced five cents barrel by the Ohio Oil Go.
