INDIAEAPOLIS. Feb. i0-In spite OF
sensational allegations made in the In
diana state senate against various oFrf-
cials. institutions and business organi-
zations, ;iie upper house OF the legisis-

sundry proposed Investigations.
Instead, It was made clear by mem

out without Interruptions such as in
evitably would be entailed by adoption
Of number or resolutions ealing for
the appointment of committees to in
vestigate a wide range of charges
1t also has been pointed out by tho
majority floor leader that little enough
time is provided for the regular ses-
sion of the Legislature and that during
the sixty-one days fixed by law, there
Is only sufficient time available for the
consideration of matters Of major i'm
portance.
Resolutions urging searching lnves-
tigasicns into the so-called building
trust in Indiana and into the financial
affairs of the three state higher educa-
tional institutions already have been
thrust aside, and members OF the sen
ate are beginning to agree with Floor
Leader Rats in mis- oft-repeated decla-
ration that the business OF the general
assembly consists of enacting and re-
visiting the laws OF the state and no.
in attempting to sit as a judicial bol u
to seek out violators Of existing sta
tutes.
With the exception OF the investiEs-
tior. now In progress. into the actions
Of the state board Of education in let

The first proposal for a sensational
investigation came early in the session
from Senator Maurice Douglass. demo-

HERE'S CHANCE
To HELP. THE
HOME FOLK

Officer Tom Flanagan of the Ham
mond force. who has the Holman
street bank beat and who also has a
heart big enough for two men, saw a
little tike shtvering on the street cor
ner yesterday. He noticed the absence
Of mittens and warm clothes and ques-
toned the little fellow. The chap
was pretty badly frightened at being
addressed BY policeman and furnish
ed no information.
Then a sister a couple of years older
came and from her Tom learned that
things at home were in a bad way. The
family lives on Bnlletin street The
father on account of sickness was
forced to give up his work Thanks
giving day and when he recovered he
could find no work. The home Is al
most destitute OF furniture and bed
clothing.
officer Flanagan visited the house
and then hunted up a friend and the
two Of them bought enough food and
fuel 10 run a while. When that is
gone. and it VIII be a matter Of only
a day or so, the people will face star
walton and cold again.
The Salvation army has helped the
family some and efforts have been
made at finding work for the father.
He is now able and willing to work,
but seems out of luck. Flanagan
hopes that someone will volunteer
further aid and that someone else will
be able TO furnish work for the man.
Anyone desiring to render assistance
in any respect may get in touch with
the Salvation army or see Mr.. Elan
nigan.
