Dress Suit Worn
by S6-0-DGy Scion
Subject of Scandal

Sharp parliamentary tactics were
employed and numerous "aspersions"
were cast In the Senate today in a
spirited debate over a resolution de-
handing TO know how Senator Alon-
20 H. Lindley Of Kingman could wear
a dress suit on Sc a day, the salary
Of a Senator. 1t seems the Senator
appeared conspicuously in "open face
clothes at a recent affair.
The resolution was introduced sew
eraI days ago and was referred to a
committee of farmers" Senator
Oliver Kline of Huntington, Senator
Miles J. Furnas Of Lynn and Senator
Joseph NJ. Cravens Of Madison.
Senator Harold Van Orman of
Evansville introduced a motion de-
handing that the resolution be re-
called and acted on. Immediately
there were protests from the special
committee that it had not had time
to go over such an important mat
ter. Things were lively for a time,
but the argument was finally settled
when Senator James J. Nejdl, noted
parliamentarian, declared a resolution
could not be withdrawn from a special
committee, and when Senator Furnas
assured the Senate the dress suit,
which he said was sin hook" would
not be molested.

ASSAILANT OF
GIRL RETAKEN
Henry Phillips, Shown Leni
ency by Transfer, Captured
After Farm Escape.

An effort will be made today to have
Henry Phillips, a fugitive from the In
diana State Farm, sent to prison for es-
Gaping from the farm. Phillips was ar
rested by Traffic Officer Gooch yesterday
and gave his name as Clifford Morisy,
but later In the day detectives identified
him as Henry Philips. 1t was learned
that Phillips escaped from the farm last
November.
Phillips is one Of the seven your men
who, last August, lured q 16-yearo girl
into a taxi and took her to a lonely
place near Eagle creek and Kentucky
avenue, where she was assaulted. The
girl after the attack was taken to the
city hospital by the police who had
been notified of the case by the taxi
driver. The police reached the scene of
the assault so quickly that most Of the
men could not escape.
All the seven were given prison seTt-
fences by Judge James Collins about o
month later. Some months later, how
ever, 1t was learned that three Of the
young men had been transferred from
the Jacksonville Reformatory to the In
diana State Farm. The transfer, said
to have been made with the approval Of
the court, had been kept quiet. Besides
Phillips, George Schribble and Lawrence
Nichols were transferred. Phillips told
the detectives that Schribble had left the
farm the same day he did and that they
separated soon after escaping.
Detectives Haley and Stewart say they
have not been able to find Schribble, but
that an effort would be made to have
Phillips sent to prison instead of being
returned to the Indiana State Farm.

REFUSES TO BARE
JAP NEGOTIATIONS

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10-"Substantial
progress" has been made in the negotia-
tions for a new agreement between thu
United States and Japan, according to
letter which Secretary of State Colby
sent today to Senator Lodge, chairman
of the Foreign Relations Committee.
Secretary Colby, however, declined to
transmit to the committee any paper in
the negotiations. The committee had re-
quested copy Of the agreement" which
was supposed to have been reached by
the United States and Japan.
No agreement has been reached, Secre-
tary Colby said. and thus it was not
possible for him to comply with the re-
quest.
Communication Of 8 record which
amounts to practically a primary com
parison OF views would be premature and
tend to defeat rather than aid the event
ual reaching Of an agreement, the Sec
rotary said.

TRIGGER TRIAL
ON WITH UNION
MEN OUT OF BOX
Judge Removes Two Jurors
and Tension Is Revived in
Murder Case.
TESTIMONY IS BEGUN

MINGO COUNTY COURTHOUSE,
WILLIAMSON, w. Va, Feb. TO-
"Order in the courtroom"
Three sharp raps with the lead end
of a .45-caliber revolver cartridge,
and Deputy Sheriff Medley Crum had
the complete silence necessary for
the "Oyez, Oyer" litany.
The trigger trial. was on in earnest.
Crum, who is the official order keeper,
always uses the bullet for rapping. but
today's rap particularly was sharp and
there was a peculiar ring to his voice.
1t was illustrative of the whole atmos-
phere in this packed courtroom and
throughout MingO County.
Overnight the tension that reigned two
weeks ago has returned.
The commonwealth of West Virginia is
to put on its first witness during the
day in the case against Sid Hatfield and
twenty others Jointly accused OF muir
dering Detective Albert Felts.
On the jury are five farmers, two
school teachers, a telephone manager, an
electrician, a brakeman, a labOrer and a
sawmi1 worker.
The confident prediction, They'll never
get a jury in this county" had been put
to naught chiefly by Judge Bailey in ap
plying the judicial steam roller. He re-
moved the union issue by excusing the
two talesmen who were union men and
whom the State desired to challenge on
that ground.
Witnesses for the State who dodge the
court will be kept in Jail till they have
testified. Judge Bailey announced. He
said one witness already had been or
dered arrested on that ground.
