PainIeve No Longer Assured
of MajOrity-Vatican
Trouble Renewed.

BIZ United Press
PARIS, April 21.-The chamber of
deputies hooted the appearance of
Joseph Caillaux on the ministerial
bench today when Paul Painleve pre-
scented his cabinet and read the gov
eTnment's declaration Of policy.
1t was obvious from the way the
deputies were divided that the new
government was no longer assured
of a majority in the chamber.
The entire left to which Painleve
looked for support sat silent when
the premier read that part OF the
ministerial declaration referring to
the Vatican embassy.
Painleve announced that the gov
eminent would restore the embassy
which was abolished by Edouard
Herriot's ministry. The right
wildly applauded the announcement,
which was a blow to the socialists
and radical socialists, who had
promised Painleve their support.
Caillaux's appearance in the
chamber was the subject for boots
and catcalls. But parliamentary OBJ
servers declared that the overnight
change which introduced into the
ministerial declaration the new vati
can policy would he the main factor
If. as they now expect, Painleve fails
to obtain much, II any, of a major

ton Of the army. providing for re
duction Of military service. an i'm
portant part Of Herriot's policy, also
was rejected by the new govern
ment.

has used the Coffin odson-Duvai
machine in this county-the machine
that is now in control OF the political
machinery-to his own selfish po-
liucal purposes.
I'm the 23rd day Of March OF this
year, in the Washington Hotel,
Duvall sat with Stephenson and COT
fin and others, in a political con-
ference, and they decided that
triumvirate was to support Duvall
in the campaign"
Tells of Mortgage
Jewett recalled that Duvalrs bank
loaned Stephenson $4,000 on his
home in Irvington which recently
was partially destroyed by an in
.cendiary fire. He declared the prop
erty had been appraised at only
$4,000.
What does all this mean?" he
asked. 1T means that that is the
influence behind Duvall. That
renegade, who now stands indicted
for the commission of the most
hideous crime that ever was com
mitted In this State, TO my knowl-
edge; that man who. from Satur-
day until this morning went free.
because the sheriff of this county
could not find him-he is the
dominating influence behind the
candidacy of John Duvall.
I'VE do not want to see a man
who is incarcerated In the county
jail dominating and guiding the
political affairs OF the Republican
party In this county in the election
this fall.
This is a time when d. c.
Stephenson and all he represents, all
he stand for, all he backs and all
that is back of him should be
eliminated from the Republican
party and from the city of Indian
apolis, once and for all time.

dianapolis rise up and put the stamp
Of disapproval upon this man
Stephenson. We have never had
anything that equalled It in this
community, and ] can not under

remember-and I have talked to
older lawyers-that when a man was
indicted by a grand jury at 11:45 on
Saturday morning or any other day
and all the next day and until away
in the middle Of the following day
he could not be found. The sheriff
was too busy to hunt him up. He
was too busy to find man in
dicted FOR murder.
why, my friends, what that man
Stephenson said TO that poor girl,
who was then on her deathbed. that
he feared nothing; that his word
was law In Indiana, how many peo-
pie believed It? The circumstances
and happenings within the last sixty
four hours almost make us believe
he was telling the truth.
