SPECIAL
ELECTIONS
NECESSARY
Experts Point Out That
Special Session of Legis-
lature Calls for Elections.
by RAY o. WICKER.

tSTAFF CORRESPONDENT I. N. SERvfcEl
INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, June 25.-That
Governor James P. Goodrich will have TO
call two special elections before Ne can
summon the state legislature TO meet
here IN a special session 10 ratify the
Susan 3. Anthony woman suffrage
amendment to the federal constitution
was the assertion made here today BY
attorneys and others familiar with state
laws. These elections are made neces-
cary by the appointment of Jesse Esch-
baugh. speaker of the house of repre-
sentatives and representative from Kos
ciusko county chief examiner Of the
Etate board of accounts and Glenn Van
Auken. joint senator from Allen and
Dekalb counties. a member of the In
diana public ervice commission-
Law experts say that state laws pro-
vide that two state positions cannot he
held by the same person at the same
time. They hold tha both Eschblugh
and Nan -Auken had automatically sew
ered their connection with the state
legislature when they accepted state
positions and they need not officially
tender their designations as members Of
the legislature This leaves vacancies
in both districts as well as it leaves the
house without a speaker.
1t is declared both places must be
filled before the legislature can meet and
that Immediately upon convening a sue
cessor must be elected.
Governor Goodrich plans to call the
legislature into session during the latter
part of August or the forepart of Sep
tember. As only ten days notice is re-
quired for the special elections TO I'LL
vacancies in the legislatures. these cleo
tions can be held and the legislature
called when the governor plans.
Besides ratification of the suffra go
amendment the special session of the
legislature will consider three or four
emergency matters" which the governor
has not made public. The legislature
vii not be in session longer than ono
week. the governor says.

AUSTRIA IS FACING ESTATES
 RIGHTS" CRISIS
Provinces Are Demanding High Degree of Inde-
 pendence

Vienna, Dec. 6-(Delayed)-The Austrian republic is passing through states rights crisis very similar to that which marked an earlier stage of the American republic. Provinces are demanding a high de- gree of independence from the cen tra1 government and in some of them such as the Tyrol and Upper Austria and Syria, 1t amounts almost to complete autonomy. If their de- mands were eventually granted, about the only thing that would be left to the central government would be foreign relations and the regula- ton of foreign Import and export traffic and limited taxation.
 The states insist upon their right to levy export duties on goods de- stined for other states. Students of the situation say this is merely a phase of the transition stage through which the new republic is passing and will gradually cure itself.

JUDGE FINDS SHELBY WAS

Nothing to Show His Re ceipts From Assignments
 Were Inadequate

That Herbert Barnum Seeley was mentally competent when he assign ed his interest in the fund from Mrs P. T. Barnum's annuity was the de- clsion today of Judge Webb of the Superior court in the suit brought by the Connecticut Trust & Safe Deposit Co. of Hartford, against Clinton Bar mum Seeley, administrator on his brothers estate, and others. The court finds that there was no fraud In obtaining the assignments from Seeley, that they were not secured from him under duress and says there is nothing to show that what Seeley received for the assignments was In adequate.
 The suit was started by the Trust Co. in order to let the court decide who was entitled to the fund which it had and was ready to pay to the proper claimants. It was said that Herbert Barnum Seeley was hard pressed for money during his lifetime and realizing that he could not get his share of the fund set aside by P. T. Barnum for Mrs. Barnum until the widow died, SeeIey assigned his inter est for cash. He divided his interest into ninths and really assigned Il ninths but his administrator bought up some of those assignments so that only the amounts paid to Seeley by

 PUT ON SALE

New York, Dec. 2s-A consignment of five thousands pounds of whale meat from Alaska was offered at markets on the East Side today as a substitute for expensive holiday fowl. Whale steaks brought from 20 to 25 cents a pound. Several consignments received a year ago total1ed 25,000 pounds and sold at an average of 30 cents.

Fur keys topped the list, fine Maryland girds selling at 65 to 75 cents a pound.
