WASHINGTON, March 25.-Snags were
encountered today by the plans of Re-
publican Senators and Representatives
from Western and middle Western States
to jam through Congress at the ap-
preaching extraordinary session the
emergency tariff bill passed at the recent
session and vetoed by former President
Wilson. That the measure will have to
be modified materially and given that
cOnciseness President Harding is known
to favor. if 1t is to be passed again, some
Of the most influential Republican lead
ers of Congress predicted.
Weighted down by amendments fas-
tened upon it by the Senate, the bill, as
it was disaDpr0ved by former President
Wilson, was regarded as a joke by num-
Der Of Republican Senators and Repre-
sentatives, who now entertain the fear
that any attempt to repass it without the
dotting of an Il" or the crossing Of a

publicans.
These same members of Congress who
were fearful lest Mr.. Wilson sign the
bill at the close of the last session, and
thereby put the Republicans in a politi-
cal hole. are urging on President Hard

The declaration of Senator Willis, Re
publican, of Ohio following a confer

that the President does not favor par
ticularly the emergency tariff bill in the
form in which Mr.. Wilton turned 1t
down, did not occasion much surprise at
the Capitol where it was anticipated the
sponsors of the idea to shove the meas

IN difficulties.
The danger Of another Democratic ili-
buster against the bill is but one of the
obstacles in the way of it's early and
speedy passage. Cloture rule or restric-
ton of debate is not always easy to in
yoke in the Senate, however.
The fear is entertained that there may
be delay In getting even n "two-inch'

city employees have just as much
right TO coerce their employers to sup
port a candidate of their choice for the
mayOralty nomination as the employers
have to intimidate the employees" Ed j.
Robson. one of the trio of candidates
for the Republican nomination for
mayor, declared In a meeting at 0S5 Paca
street last night. He spoke at similar
gathering at $3.50 Yandes street
Mr.. Roblson's invasion Of the First
ward was a part of his strenuous sched-
ule from now until the primary in May.
He continued hts attack on the present
city hall organization, and pointed out
that there had been many attempts to
intimidate city employees in favor Of the
organizations candidate.
''The city employees are paid by public
funds and they should be permitted to
vote the way they choose in the coming
primary" Mr.. Robson said. Such auto
cratic intimidation as is being exhibited
by the city hall organization In this pri-
mary campaign is what dethrones parties.
The primary was established for the pur-
pose Of permitting the voters to express
their choice for a candidate and not to
allow an organization to dominate the
vote through intimidation"
Endorsement of the city planning pro
gram to beautify indianapolis was con-
tained in Mr.. Bobisons speech He be
lieves everything should be done that Is
reasonable to make indianapolis a beau
tiful city and one in which there Is in
tense civic pride.

Robson into the Third, Fifth and
Twelfth wards. He speaks at meetings
at BlackfOrd and Michigan streets, 544

The wOmen's organization Of the

NEW YORK, March 25.-Father today
faced bills for more than s2OO,OOOOOo for
mothers Easter attire.
Women of the United States have spent
approximately that amount during the
last two weeks for their Easter silks
and satins, according to James Goold,
retail editor Of the newspaper Women's
Wear. an authority on retail garment
trade
1T probably has been the greatest
Easter buying season IN history G0old
said. "EconOmie Developments have re-
acted to the satisfaction Of both women
and the dealers. Lowering of prices Of
foodstuffs has enabled the housewife to
spend more money on her Easter bonnet.
And lowering Of the price of the Easter
bonnet has enabled her TO doll up more
profusely than in any season since the
war.
six million women in the United
States are going to sport new hats or
new frocks in the Easter parade.
only a small percentage OF the
paraders will be seen on Fifth avenue.
The greater portion Of the money was
spent to decorate the paraders on the
Main streets" from coast to coast.
Gray and henna shades win be domi-
nant in millinery while gray and navy
blue have been sold most In suits. The
radical element in dress seems to have
been conquered and most suits are Of

SEES LOSSES IN
MANIPULATION
OF INVENTORY
Possible by Taking Low Valu-
alton of Articles on Hand
From First Cost.
PHASE OF GAS HEARING

Inventory manipulation is largely
responsible for losses suffered by the
Citizens Gas Company, cross-ex-
animation in the hearing of the COM
pany's petition for 90-cent gas before
the public service commission In
dicated today.
The examination showed that the
company can suffer a loss by the
mere expedient of making very low
inventory of products on hand sub
tracing the amount thus obtained
from the value of the products when
they were obtained and charge the
difference up to loss, thereby show
ing a need for increased rates.
The coal prices, for instance. shrank
50 ton In the inventory. although tes-
timony showed that the average cost of
coal to the company freight included,
in 1920 was S713 a ton and that the
market has dropped only to a figure of
SO for one quality coal and 81 for
another.
These facts were brought out in cross
examination of J. D. Forrest, manager Of
the gas company. by Commissioner Glen
Van Auken. The inventory, according to
the testimony, was made for the purpose
of determining the amount Of income tax
to be paid by the company.
SEE 81 POSSIBLE
But NOT 50.
Il can see how for the purpose Of de-
termining income tax there could be a
shrinkage of 81 a ton, but I cant see
how there could be a shrinkage of S."
Commissioner Van Auken remarked.

No Sunday night suppers are served in

Sheriff George Snider explained that

AT that O'Clock dinner we serve

Some Surprise.

Thomas D. Meeker. Democratic city

The appointment of Mr. MCGEE comes
as a distinct surprise to a great many
Democrats, who were instrumental in
seeing Mr. Meeker selected over William
Feeney, who was backed in the chairman-
ship race by the News-Jewett organiza-
ton.

Cross examination of Charles A. Ber-
nauer. father of the defendant, and ex-
animation of Mrs. Bernauer the prison
er's mother and Naomi Bernauer, his
sister, concluded the defense of the 21-
year-old youth who is said to have shot
and killed Eaids in a hold-up on the
night of Oct. p. 1920
The defense rested. without placing
Bernauer on the stand.
Mrs. Bernauer and her daughter testi.
fed the defendant arrived home at about
10 O'Clock, Oct. %, the morning after the
murder of Eaids, and that he did not
seem excited. He was at home until 4
o'clock in the afternoon that day, they
stated, and assisted his father in repair
ing an old auto truck that was in the
rear of their home.
Robert McBroom, chief jailer at the
Marion County JAIL was placed on the
stand by the State in rebuttal. Mr.. Nc
Broom testified he had no knowledge of
Bernauer ever receiving drugs while
prisoner at the Jail
An attempt by the counsel for Bernauer
to discontinue the proceedings in the
trial failed yesterday when Judge Blair
the trial and to release the defendant.
The motion was filed by the defense on
the basis that Bernauer is being tried
under the copy of the Indictment which
was returned against him by the Marion
County grand jury and not under the
original indictment itself and that the
copy sent here with the transcript bears
an incorrect signature of the foreman of
the grand jury, who testified on the
stand that he had not signed the copy,
although he had signed the original In
dictment.
The fling Of this motion provided an
other dramatic incident to the trial.
which has teemed with exciting phases,
since the counsel for the defense fled a
motion at the very opening which at
tackled the Jurisdiction of the local court
on the grounds that the transcript had
been incorrectly written and had also
filed to quash the indictment against Ber-
naIer. Citations were read by the attor-
neys for the defense this afternoon taken
from Supreme Court ruling to strengthen
arguments for the motion. These proofs
and the charges Of the motion were met
by Prosecutor Evans of Marion County
with the argument that it would have
been impossible to try Bernauer here on
the original indictment, which is on file
at indianapolis and under which Charles
Jones is being held at the Marion County
Jail Mr.. Evans gave as an example the
suppositiOn that Judge Collins might have
set Jones' trial for this week at Indian
apolis. in which case Mr. Evans would
have been compelled to try Jones at In
