TRUST PRESS BRINGS FEUD
BETWEEN HOYNE AND OLSON

The evening newspapers of Chi
cago have caused another little war.
This time it's between States Atty
Hoyne and Chief Justice Harry Olson
of the municipal court. 1t will be re-
membered that Hoyne, who is a De-
mocrat, applied to Judge Olson, who
is Republican, for warrant for Chief
Healey, who is also Republican, but
later withdrew his application. And
then, without any solicitation, the
Republican judge, Olson, expressed
his belief in the innocence of the Re
publican chief, HeaIey. And Repub-
fcan leaders don't deny that war
rants or censure for Healey would
have. hurt the entire Republican
county ticket and even Hughes. and
LOwden.
The story first sent out by trust
press reporters was the following:
Il have heard rumors along these
lines:
THAT former Gov. Deneen caused
Atty Healy to be retained as counsel
for Chief Healey in the hearing on
the application for warrants; that
Deneen held a conference with Judge
Olson relative to the proceedings be-
fore the judge rendered his decision.
Il have heard reports that Chief
Justice OlsOn's decision was drawn
in the matter of the application for
warrants for Chief Healey, his secre-
tary, William H. Luthardt, and 9th
ers, on the Thursday preceding the
Tuesday it was rendered by the
judge.
81 have also heard report that
Judge Olson was told by some one
representing the national Republican
committee that there should be no
warrants issued. 1t have been in
formed Judge Olson was told the
warrant application case was merely
a local political fight and that it was
bad for the party in general"

YOUTH coNFESSES HE PUSHE
FRANCES BLOOM IN WATER
WILL BE BROUGHT BACK

States Atty Hoyne took steps to-
day to bring George Arndt back from
Maria, Tex, where he is held after
his confession yesterday that he
pushed Frances Bloom, his sweet
heart, into the lake on July 4, 1914.
Extradition papers will be asked.
Mrs. Lillian Bloom, 1903 South
part ave- was called to the states at
torney's Office to tel what she knows
about the affair of Arndt with her
daughter.
The police were called on the night
of the murder to the lake at the foot
of DiYersey blvd. Here they found
Arndt in the water hanging on to
the springboard. He told them that
Frances Bloom had fallen into the
lake.
They took him into custody, how
ever, when he admitted he had i'm
proper relations with her. He was
released later on his story that they
were about to be married. He proved
that he had tried to get her to marry
him several times and she had re-
fused. He was absolutely cleared at
that time when the girls mother
voiced her faith in him.
She says she will not prosecute.

FAVOR CHANGES IN
STATE CONSTITUTION
Speakers at Muncie Convention Saw
Basic Law Need Not. How
ever, be Changed.

Addison c. Harris of Indianapolis
and Judge w. II. EichhOrn of Bluff
ton. speaking here Tuesday evening
under the auspices Of the Delaware
County Bar association as one of
the features Of the second annual
Indiana constitutional conference
conducted by the Citizens League
of Indiana, favored changes In the
present constitution of Indiana, yet
were Of the opinion that the basic
law need not be changed in order
To correct conditions now existing.
Persons advocating the chang
ing of the constitution do not want
To change the basic law" declared
Mr. Harris The fundamental law
has brought peace and prosperity TO
our state and under it we shall con-
tinue TO have both. There are two
methods by which the constitution
may be amended. 1t cannot be
changed; il can only be amended.
one is by having the amendments
passed by the senate and house OF
one legislative session, then referred
to a succeeding session and passed
Then il is referred to the voters of
the state at an election. The other
method is for the legislature to pass
a resolution calling for vote of the
people whether or not they want a
constitutional convention. If the
majority favor it. then the legis-
lature at its next meeting shall pro-
vide a means Of electing delegates
to- such convention"
In conclusion Mr.. Harris told the
audience that he was utterly opposed
TO some of the reported changes.
such as the recall of judges and the
referendum.

Ambition of AIOnzO NJ. Murphy

What opportunity America holds for
Young men who start life with no other
assets than honesty, integrity and a
determination to win, is illustrated in
the career Of Alonzo M. Murphy, can
didate for the Republican nomination
for Congress in this district.
At IS years Of age he was cast upon
the world without even grade school
education, without anyone to fall back
upon in case of necessity, and without
a cent to his name. At 81 years Of
age, Mr.. Murphy, successful business
man, a graduate Of one of the Oldest
American colleges and one of the
prominent men of his community in
all its lines of activity, returned to his
home after three years vacation spent
with his entire family in travel and
study of conditions in all the important
countries of Europe.
Between the boy Of IS without a
dollar in the world and the man of 81,
who having enjoyed a splendid educa-
ton was also able to afford the time
and money for a three year tour Of
Europe, lies history full Of inspiration
to any penniless youth.
Mr.. Murphey has achieved his first
two ambitions. He has acquired his
college education, and has become a
successful business man. His third
ambition, is to represent the district in
Congress.
