New Amendments Drafted
for Senate.

bu [ TffFu Press
WASHINGTON, Dec. lS.-That
the Hickey bill providing for another
Federal judgeship in Indiana will
emerge from the present Congress
in its present form is now doubted
by some members of the Indiana
delegation in. the House and the
Senate. Amendments. though not
vet officially sponsored. are in
course of preparation, and are to be
gotten ready fer public view the bill
is called up in the Senate.
These amendments, if they are in
troduced along the lines now con
templated. will provide that criminal
cases coming before the Federal
Court need not be tried in the
judicial district, where the persons
affected reside. The reason for the
change Is that many HOOsiers who
have made their influence felt in
Washington believe the present plan
would make it easy for criminals to
escape punishment if they had TO he
tried in their immediate home COM
