Political Conflicts
The conflict between Remy and

by the fact that Remy was opposed
for denomination by the George v.
Coffin branch OF the Republican
party to which Duvall and most city
officers are affiliated.
He's beginning his campaign
early" said Duvall. while Johnson
charged the statement was part OF
an effort TO "hoodwink the public
with the coming election in View"
Duvall expressed no hostility 10

assertions were without basis OF
truth.

HOURLY TEMPERATURE

Coroner Paul f. Robinson today
appealed to parents to aid him in
stemming the tide of child tragedies
which this week took the lives of
five Indianapolis children.
Parents, keep track of your chill
dren every minute" was DR.. Rob-
inson's warning.
"This grewsome death toll must
be stopped the coroner said.
"Only parents can do it. and 1t
must be done through education.
Children under the age Of IL
are presumed by the law to be
too young to realize danger. The
parents are responsible for guarding
them from danger.
"If necessary in cases where the
neglect Of parents is to blame for
child fatalities the parents can and
will be taken into Juvenile Court.
Parents must keep their children
off the streets"
without inferring negligence
was the cause of any of the deaths
this week. Coroner Robinson cited
this weeks tragedies to show the
wide range of danger against
which parents must guard:

that it is best to walk-not run

Only Last Minute Change in
Sentiment Can Save

MELLON IGNORES IOWA
Brands Midwest Program
Unsound-So Does Lenroot.
Times Washington Bureau.


WASHINGTON, June l2.-The
, corn belts farm relief bill is beaten
in the Senate. Not more than th1r-
ty-five or forty votes will be mus
tered for it, against fifty or more
opposed. next week when it comes
to a vote, unless there is some sud
den and surprising change in sentl-
ment.
Friends of the bill are frankly con-
ceding defeat, according to Repre-
sentative Purnell of Indiana, one of
the corn belt leaders in the House,
who has been keeping close touch on
Senate developments.
Thumbs Down
The Coolidge Administration has
kept it's thumbs down attitude on
the corn belts equalization fee
measure, despite the crushing Ad-
ministration defeat in the Iowa pri-
mary.
This was shown by a recent call
upon Secretary Mellon by three corn
belt leaders of the House who asked
the secretary to indicate whether he
believed the corn belt measure sound
economically. 1t had been so pro-
nounced by Vice President Dawes
and Senator Watson.
Stand Unchanged
This was just before the Iowa
primaries. Friday Mellon notified
his uuestioners that he could not
concur in the Dawes conclusion and
he didn't believe the pending bill
was sound econmics.
Melons verdict was taken to
mean the Administration stand was
unchanged.
Senator Lenroot, Administration
Republican, Wisconsin, took sin1l-
lar stand. He deserted the farm
bloc, urging the Senate adopt his
substitute bill, modelled to please
Coolidge. Lenroot, branding the
Haugen bill as "uneconomic and un-
constitutional, said instead of aid
ing the farmer it would injure

in the Senate between corn leaders
and Senators of the cotton States
for support of the latter. The
Southerners have indicated how
ever, they won't agree unless the
bill is changed so the cotton farm
ers will receive the benefits of the
price fixing. provision yet shall not
be compelled to pay the equaliza'
ton tax for at least two years.
The corn belt men know this
wouldn't help them and have re-
fused the change.
There'H Be Bill
Pending defeat of the midwest
bill, however, doesn't mean that no
farm legislation will pass. 1t is ex-
pected a measure will be fixed up
perhaps the Tincher bill recently be-
fore the House, which was said to
have Administration support-to
which corn belt Republicans can
point in their campaign.
