CHANGES TIME
FOR. VOTING ON
AMENDMENTS
Senate Fixes Sept. 6 for Spe-
cial Election to Modify
Constitution.
BRANCH SPEEDS WORK

An amendment to the English bill,
providing for a special election at
which the constitutional amendments
passed by the Legislature will be
submitted to the voters, making the
date Sept. 6, 1921, instead of June 6,
1921, was adopted in the Senate this
morning.
Senator Oliver Kline, Huntington, and
Senator Miles J. Furnas, Lynn, object
ed to the original draft on the ground
that farmers would be too busy to at
tend an election in June.
Work IN the Senate speeded up under
the lash Of Lieutenant Governor Branch,
who constantly warned the Senators that
if they did not act on their bills now
the House would not have time to pass
them. Twenty-four Senate bills passed
second reading at the morning session.
Up until this morning the Senate had
sent seven bills to the Governor for sig
nature and had passed fifty two House
bills and 173 Senate bills. 1t is in much
better condition than the House.
The House has sent thirty two bills to
the Governor and has passed nine Senate
bills and III House bills. Ten joint res
OlutiOns also have been adopted Tho
House, however, is still confronted with
great mass of bills aud night sessions
next week are expected.
An amendment which would In effect
nullify the provisions Of the Humphries
bill making unlawful the display of OBJ
scene, indecent and inhuman motion pic
lures. or films showing crime by violence.
prize fights or bull lights was adopted
by the Senate today.
The amendment, which was introduced
by Senator Don P. Strode Kokomo,
would prohibit only the display Of pic
lures in which the characteristics listed
in the bill are the principal features.
The Senator declared that as the bill
stood II would ruin many pictures in
which vicious scenes are only a small
part Of the whole. Senator James II
Humphrles, Linton, author Of the bill,
moved 10 table the STROBE amendment,
but his request was turned down.

man while Walters beat up" Ralph
Richman.
Long after the campaign Bush was
indicted and convicted for this as
sault He appealed to the Supreme
Court of Indiana which four years
later confirmed his conviction. Even
then Bush was not compelled to go
to the penal farm to serve the SEN
tence until William P. Evans, prose-
cutor, demanded that he be hailed
into court and committed.
While Judge James A. Collins ana
Prosecutor Claris Adams, two other mem
bers Of the bipartisan machine under
which this community Is writhfng. were
delaying the sending OF Bush to the
penal farm, the other lLinions Of the ma
chine were moving heaven and earth to
: obtain for him a pardon or parole from
Governor James p. Goodrich.
ONE OF FIRST REQUESTS
TO GOVERNOR BTcCRAY
Goodrich refused the parole, and Gov
ernOr Warren T. McCray had hardly
reached the executive office before the
effort was renewed to get Bush OF the
penal farm.
The motives for the movement to
free Bush have nothing to do with
either leniency to a reformed law
breaker, or justice.
Bush has admitted instigating the
assault on Richman, for which he
was convicted.
Bush has admitted padding the
pay rolls of the city of Indianapolis
and the city is now suing a number
of banks in an effort to recover more
than s11. 900 which Bush has admitted
he got out of the city treasury by
fraud
Bush has pleaded guilty TO a gam
bling charge in the city courts un-
der the alias of j. j. Casey within the
last six months.
The real reason for the desperate
efforts to get Bush OF the penal farm
lies in the fear that the bipartisan
gang of politicians In Indianapolis
have that Bush viii tell of the crook
ed work that was done in the city
primaries four years ago.
Bush, II he chose to do go, might
fell what was done TO election tally
sheets when they were taken to the
office of a certain lawyer in Indian
apOlis before they were delivered to
the canvassing board.
Bush. If he chose, might tell the
inside story OF how the prosecution
of Joseph Z. Bell. then mayor of Iu-
dianapOIis, was framed by his enemies
and of the promises of immunity that
were made TO Bush after the midnight
hour in the back room of n saloon on
East Washington street, in the pres
ence of a judge and other county
officials.
Bush could, II he pleased. expose
the methods of the bipartisan gang
that is now trying desperately to
perpetuate itself In control of the
offices in this city through deals be-
tween Democrats and Republicans
for control OF the primary election
boards.
And &c is fear that he will talk
that stirs to great length the few
politicians in Indianapolis who have
brough to his relief an influence that
extends all the way from Washington
I and cutters the desk of two Gov
ernors.
RECORD OF INFLUENCE
SHOWN IN PAPERS.
How this influence is being exerted is
shown by the papers in the Office Of the
State board Of pardOns.
Most important of all of them is the
memoranda which is repudiated by May
or Jewett This memoranda, without

HOUSE BLOCKS
COUNTY'S HELP
FOR MEMORIAL
Bill to Permit Cooperation in
Buying Site Defeated,
As to 81.
PLAN SEEMS DOOMED

The proposal to allow Marion Coun-
ty and the city Of indianapolis to CO.
operate with the State in building a
war memorial in this city received
terrific jolt today when the House,
by a vote of 45 to 81, knocked out
House Bill No. 3S7. which would have
allowed Marion County to have par
ticipated in the undertaking.
The Marion County delegation itself
divided Representatives Harrison and
NoH voting against the measure. Repre-
sentative NOn. however, changed his
vote from aye to no to be in a parlia
mcntary position to move for Teconsidera-
tion Of the vote.
The measure which was one Of three
introduced by Representative Kingsbury
provided that Marion County could CO
operate with the city of Indianapolis In
acquiring the tract OF property between
University Square and st. Clair park,
which lies between Meridian and Penn
sylvania streets and In turn donating 1t
to the State as site for the memorial
building.
OF tho other bills, which have passed
second reading, one would give the same
power TO the city and the other would
allow the State to accept the gifts.
The county would have been author
lied to hx a tax levy for the purpose
OF raising funds to acquire the site and
a similar provision Ia extended to the
city in the pending measure.
NO EXPENDITURE
BY STATE NECESSARY.
Representative Kingsbury explained
the terms OF the bill and showed its
passage would not require an expendi-
ture from the State.
"The bills would call for a sum Of
about two or three million dollars from
Marion County and indianapolis" ne
said.
Representative William R. Jinnett,
Rush County, took the floor against the
measure.
1T asks us to permit the taxing OF
the people OF indianapolis IN addition
to what they already bear" he said
They are all wrong They are trying
to slip this in before the bin calling for

There can be no doubt that the

the Indianapolis News to control the

Jewetts boast that he would control
the political situation in Marion
County for seven years, have been
badly disarranged in the last week.
The selection OF Mr.. Thomas c..
Howe. former president OF Butler
College, as the candidate Of the or
ganization, has not been a success
to date and the politicians of the
Jewett organization are wondering
whether the concession of support for
Howe to the Indianapolis News was
not too great a price to pay for its
help In the campaign
Professor Howe Is conceded generally
TO be a gentleman against whom there
can be no personal criticism. He was
for years AT the head of the college an
only retired from It owing TO a nervous
breakdown, from the bad effects Of which
his friends declare he has completely re
covered.
