and saddened to learn of the
death from heart failure of Henry

his accustomed duties about his
home.
The end came suddenly. A

The lid was on tight. Doors that
swung freely every Sabbath for

even near-beer was obtainable.
But the whole city smiled at the
glorious memory of the one day that
real old-fashioned beer flowed freely,
after the mayor said breweries might
make 1t, and the city chuckled at the
move that had forced Federal prohi-

CONGRESS MOVES
To MEET WISHES
Of WHITE HOUSE
Representative WinsloW's Bill
Ready to Establish Coal
Inquiry.
SENATE MEETS WEDNESDAY
Committee Considering Way to
Protect Foreigners From
Violence.


WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.-Steps
were being taken in Congress today
to push through two Of the measures
recommended by President Harding
for meeting the strike situation.
The House was prepared to pass
this week a bill setting up a Federal
commission to investigate every
phase Of coal mining industry in the
hope that such an inquiry Will lay
the basis for permanent peace in this
strike-beset industry. Such a bill was
to be introduced today by Chairman
Winslow Of the Interstate Commerce
Committee. and this probably will be
accepted as the model upon which the
House will take action.
The bill provides for appointment Of
from five to nine members Of the
commission by the President. The
commission would be authorized TO
analyze every phase Of the coal in
dustry and submit a report TO the
House Of Representatives by Jan. 1.
Although the Senate is taking a
rest until Wednesday from the long
tariff grind, the Foreign Relations
Committee met on the Presidents pro-
posaI for legislation giving Federal
courts power to protect the treaty
rights Of aliens so that the Federal
Government could intervene and pun
ish the persons responsible for vio-
lence such as the Herrin massacre.

ARE DAMAGE TO ROADS

Possibility of an attempt to secure
legislation looking to further taxation
of trucks using the public highways
for transportation was seen by mem
bers of the State highway commits
sion and road enthusiasts from vart-
Gus parts of the State today. 1t has
repeatedly come to the attention of
the highway commission that roads
upon which thousands of dollars had
been expended in construction and
maintenance were being either de-
gtroyed or badly damaged by heavy
truck traffic. it was explained.
Seven and one-half tons is the
maximum capacity permitted for
travel upon Indiana highways, but
five tons is the limit in many other
States.
The trucks license fee in Indiana i@
practically one-half of that levied by
the State of Kentucky. it was said
at the Statehouse. The direct taxa
ton against property assessment OF
the State for highway maintenance IL
$3.50 on $4,000 property assessment.
Other sources Of revenue are Federal
aid, inheritance tax collections and the
money derived from the State auto
mobile licensing department.

Efforts to close the saloons by po-

violators arrested and fined them, but
they kept on selling. 1 closed two OF
the joints myself, but they re-opened.

are prepared. however, to make q
strenuous fight. In this way they
hope to show the public just how the

time when the financial stability OF
