HOUSE TAKES Up
DAUGHERTY CASE
Attorney General Declares
Charges Do Not Worry Him.
BIZ United Press

By United Press
WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-The House
Judiciary Committee today took &C
ton looking toward a thorough inves-
tigation of the impeachment charges
brought against Attorney General
Daugherty by Representative Kellar,
Minnesota.
At the insistence of Keller, the com
mittee voted to ask the House for
authority to subpoena witnesses in the
impeachment inquiry.
In lengthy reply to the charges in
support of the Kellar Impeachment
resolution, as detailed by Untermyer
in his speech before the conference Of
progressives here Saturday night,
Daugherty attributed the attack to
questionable motives.
Nevertheless, he said MIR. Inter
myers charges do not give me con-
cern. If I am to be assailed in the
performance Of public duty-and, in
this clamorous age, such seems to be
the lot of most public men-I am for
tunate in having the chief attack
upon my record as attorney general
made by one who. for thirty years,
has given the largest part of his pub
lie activities to abusing and attacking
men in high Office.

LOCAL BUILDING
BREAKS RECORDS
November Permits Set New
High Mark for City.

Building in indianapolis continues to
break records. In November, 9S3 per
mits were issued by the city build
ing department for a total Of $685.
Ola.
This is a new record for November
Building department officials con
slider the record remarkable because
the valuation is greater than that for
October. Usually building permits
show slump in November. In Octo-
Der, 1,406 permits were issued. The
valuation was $2,431,513.
The records for November, 1921,
show that in that month asa permits
were issued for a total Of $1,071,3 ,3l9.
More than half of the valuation for
November, 1922, is for homes. Two
hundred and six permits. totaling
1855, ,461, were issued for house con
struction, and seven permits, totaling
$965, 600, for apartments.

NE " STREET CODE
DOOMED To FAIL
Majority Caucus of Council De-
cides to Kill Measures.

Indianapolis viii not have a new
traffic code ordinance this year.
This became certain today when
members of the city council said a
majority had decided in caucus 1t
would kill both Of the pending traffic
bills at the regular meeting tonight.
Because there are several ordin-
ances regulating traffic, some of
which are considered obsolete, the
board of public safety started ten
months ago to get a new ordinance
embodying all traffic regulations
! assed. After several weeks Of study
and conference with the Hoosier
Motor Club, Chamber of Commerce
and other organizations. the code was
prepared and introduced in the
council.
This ordinance still is pending.
At the last council meeting Council
man Lloyd D. Claycombe, who be-
neves the bill is dead. introduced
another, different in several par
ticulars from the first.
Councilman said there were fea-
lures of both ordinances they objected
to and some provisions they favored
were contained in neither so they
thought it best to kill both and start
all over again.
The council will clear it's files of
ordinances it does not intend to pass,
SO as to start 1928 with clean slate.

OFFICIAL DEFENDS
Gas COMPANY
Corporation Should Not Be
Censured, Says Secretary.

The Citizens Gas Company had laid
So 900 feet of gas mains this year and
should not be censured for delaying
street improvements, F. G. Rasten-
berg, assistant secretary, told John l..
Elliott, city civil engineer, today.
Elliott said failure of the gas and
water companies to lay mains as fast
as contractors were ready to work on
new streets may cause several high
ways to be torn up through the win
ter.
Rastenberg told Elliott he would
submit a list of mains laid to prove
his contention.
If the Gas company has done as
much work as Rastenberg said, it has
exceeded its record for several years,
Elliott said.
The water company has laid more
than 100000 feet of mains this year,
according to the engineer.

OF the three billions asked. two can
be attributed to the war. He made
it plain that his Administration will
continue TO fight for greater economy.
The budget system, the President
declared was ''the greatest reform in
our financial history"
Government expenditures during
the next fiscal year will be S31S0,-
S43.235, reduction Of nearly $780,
100000 as compared with the ex-
penditures of the current year.
Specifically the executive asked for
appropriations Of S3,078, $40, ,3316 SO, the
difference between appropriations and
expenditures being attributed to the
fact that Congress makes some ap-
preparations which carry over from
year to year.
A surplus OF S180,969,125 in the Gov
ernments financial operations for the
rext fiscal year was estimated as com
pared with a possible deficit this year
OF S273.938,712.
The total receipts Of the Govern
ment during the next fiscal year were
estimated at s3.361, ,S12,35 as com
20
mates were based on no reduction of
taxes and include a back tax collec-
tion of approximately $500, 100000
For National Defense
Outstanding in the budget is the ap-
preparation for national defense which
total $546. 1850 The Army asked
for 1856, ,552.877, which would provide
foi a regular Army of 125, 900 men
and 1900 officers.
Referring to the large amounts
which the Federal Government is con-
tributing to the States each year for
road building and other projects, the
president said he was concerned be
cause he felt this policy was causing
large increases in State, county and
municipal indebtedness. He made no
direct recommendations on this sub
iect, however. He also indicated that
he disapproved large expenditures for
research, improvement and develop
ment which have no business with

hopeful that there will be no deficit
in the current fiscal year 1923, if such
a deficit does occur, this surplus for
1924 will give a margin to take care

The sum of $1.256, ,715. 939 is pro-
vided for military functions. which
includes military pensions, retirement
