is FORCED
TO GO TO TRIAL
Demurrer on Michigan Street
Suit Overruled.

Judge Arthur j. Robinson of supe-
rlor Court, room 4. today overruled a
demurrer which was filed by the city
Of indianapolis, which is a defendant to
an action brought by William c. Freund
and Stella Il. Freund, asking that the
city be restrained from proceeding with
the proposed changing of the course of
Michigan street from Dorman street to
Highland avenue and also from collect
ing any assessments.
The court held that the complaint of
the Freunds did state sufficient facts
The city, in its demurrer, contented that
the complaint of the plaintiffs did not
state sufficient facts to constitute cause
of action.
This action of the court will compel
the city to go to trial.
The plaintiffs ask that a restraining
order be issued preventing the city from
taking over any ground of the plaintiffs
and also to restrain the city from col
lecting any assessments.
The court has not issued a restraining
order.

WOMAN SURETY
ASKS RECOVERY
Seeks to Get Back $1,000 For
feited When Prisoner
Failed TO Appear.

The right to become a party defendant
to a suit brought by Prosecutor William
p. Evans to have distributed TO the var
ious school funds a 5000 cash bond
which was given by Edward Stevens and
which was forfeited when Stevens failed
TO appear In the Marion County Criminal
Court for trial, was granted today by
Judge Harry Chamberlin Of the Circuit
Court to Rose Phillips OF Chicago.
1t developes now. according to Rose
Phillips petition to be made party
defendant to the suit, that it was her
money which Stevens put up as cash
bond when Jail doors were oponed for
him Aug. 80, 1919. Stevens is now in the
Indiana State Prison serving a sentence
from two to fourteen years for unlawful
possession of explosives
She states in her petition that she
was desirous of securing his (Stevens)
release from custody by BAIL" and that
Stevens prevailed upon her" to furnish
him with $1,000.
She claims that she virtually has be-
come "at law and in equity the surety
of Stevens" and that the action of the
authorities in returning Stevens to In
dianapolis for trial from Illinois de-
prived her of all opportunity of sur
rendering Stevens to the sheriff of Marion
County.
This introduces a new phase to the ac-
ton but Prosecutor Evans is prepared
to fight the case in behalf of the State
when it comes to trial. probably some
time in July, before Judge Chant terlin.

CONGRESS HAS
PRETTY RECORD
OF WRANGLES
Special Session Fails to Pass
Any Legislation for Which
It Was Convened.
NEW ONES PREDICTED

WASHINGTON, June 25.-The
legislative record of the special ses-
sion is now in the balance, Congress-
men admitted today.
The fate of many pieces Of i'm
portant legislation is uncertain and,
unless a change of sentiment occurs,
more wrangling and new delays VIII
develop, it was indicated.
The special session was called for
the main purpose of declaring peace
with Germany and of revising the
revenue and tariff laws.
The permanent tariff bill probably will
be completed by the House Ways and
Means Committee next week, but there is
a growing demand In the Senate that this
measure be shunted and the new taxes
passed through congress. This, however.
is causing a serious dispute between the
two houses.
FORDNEY SAYS HE'S

plan" Chairman Fordney Of the House
Ways and Means Committee said. Near

the framing of the tariff bill and II
would be a big mistake to cast it aside
now. I feel sure such action will not be
taken"
1t is generally admitted that the tariff
bill will not reach the Senate before
Aug l. Then Chairman Penrose, Penn
sylvania proposes to consider it In the
Finance Committee for two months, he
has stated. Much greater speed will
lave to be shown if it is enacted before
the close Of the special session, leaders
admit
The House will not consider revenue
bill until after the tariff is passed, and
with the continued hot weather the de-
mand for a recess is growing. It is
probable that the House will adjoErn
during August, while the new revenue
bill is being framed, Republican Leader
Mondeu said.
MAY AGREE ON
THREE NEXT WEEK.
Final agreement may come next week
on three important measures which have
been in dispute for many weeks. These
are the peace resolution and the Army
and Navy appropriation bills.
With the return of Senator Lodge from
the Harvard commencement exercises,
conferences on the peace measure will
be resumed. The Army bill probably
will be signed by the President and an
agreement on the naval bill is expected
with the House agreeing to the Borah
amendment.

them if they weren't afraid Of arrest,
they replied, 1--WE are not afraid. The

fession to the police, put the idea OF

After some discussion as to the price,
Kubal, according to the police. said he

.GOMPERS BEATS
LEWIS IN FIGHT
TO RULE A. T. L.
Veteran Leader Is Elected
President for FOrtieth Term
Amid Wild Scenes.
HAS 25,OOO OF $4,000 VOTES

DENVER, Colo, June 25.-Samuel
Gompers, overcoming bitter opposi-
tion, was reelected president of the
American Federation of Labor today
for his fortieth term.
The veteran labor leader won over
John L. Lewis, of the coal miners
union, who put up strenuous fight
for leadership.
Lewis was unable to overcome the
handicap Of the strong sentimental
hold which Gompers obtained on the
labor movement by nearly two score
years of administration.
Lewis polled 1924 votes, while
Gompers was given approximately
25,O22.
The secretary Of the convention was
instructed to unanimously cast the vote
of the convention for James Duncan of
Quincy, Mass, as first vice president
of the federation He was declared
elected.
J. F. Valentine of Cincinnati, Ohio,
was unanimously elected second vice
president.
The convention adjourned at u 80 after
the election of a second vice president, to
meet again at . p m. and to remain in
continuous session until its work is COM
pleted.
The vote was taken amidst dramatic
scenes In the auditorium. The galleries
were packed with supporters of both
factions. The floor Of the convention
hall was crowded with spectators.
Delegates applauded every vote as IT
was announced.
1t was the first time that Gompers
has been strenuously opposed since 1894
when he was defeated for the presi-
dency by another miner. be won the
position back the next year, however.
DELEGATES CALL
FOR GOMPERs.
Gompers' triumph was an endorsement
by representatives, OF organized labor OF
his administration and approval Of his
slow moving, cautious methods, in
preference TO the swift, spectacular
driving methods of Lewis.
GOmpers was given q tremedous ova-
ton as the vote was announced. He
could scarcely control his emotions.
As delegation after delegation cast
its vote for the grand old man OF
labor" it was easily seen by delegates
that he would win and they cheered
each vote as cast for him.
Lewis own delegation was badly
split He got 2,129 Of the miners vote,
while 1896 cast their ballot for Gompers.
When the vote was announced there
was tremendous cheer from the hoor
and delegates called for Gompers. With
tears in his eyes, lie stood up to start his
speech.

1873 by the indianapolis Street Railway
Company on Jan. 25 1918, according to
complaint filed in Federal Court today
by Frederick Van Nuys, United States
district attorney.
The complaint alleges that on that day
the streets were buried in snow and a
snow plow, operated by the street car
company, had swept the snow off the
street car tracks in such a way as to
make it impossible for the mail truck
to drive on any part of Washington
street, at its intersection with Cruise
street, except on the tracks. While so
driving along came a street car and
smashed into the mail truck, damaging
it to the extent of $67.10, so the COM
