OIL FOR PLANES

SIZING TON.-Future sea.
planes, with a gross weight Of 10000
pounds, burning oil, are a possibility
Of the future, according to Com.
mander II. c. Richardson, one of the
foremost authorities on seaplane de-
sign. Multiple engines will be used
because Of the difficulty OF getting
power in a single unit. Air-cooIed
engines will gradually displace the
water-cooled type, and the fuel will
gradually change from gasoline to
heavy oil, reducing fire hazards.

FIGHT BEARS ON
SENATE CONTROL
Tie of 47-47 at Present
Would Make Democratic
Victory important.
Bu UEifcd Press

IN tHiffd FFfSS
WASHINGTON, Nov. 27,-The
special senatorial election in Maine,
originally only a mere formality to
confirm the Republican plurality Of
one one in the next United States
Senate, has now developed a signia'
canoe which may determine the fate
of national legislation for the next
two years.
AS the new Senate now stands
there are forty-seven Republicans,
forty-seven Democrats and one
Farler-Laborite, with a Republican
vacancy to be filled in Maine Mon.
day.
Since 1856. Maine has gone Demo
cratic only once, and Republican
leaders here had presumed that a
Republican would be elected to sue
coed the late Senator Bert NJ. For
bald, who died recently.
Ralph o. Brewster, popular Re
publican Governor of the State has
upset the dope" with a manifesto
urging Republicans to support the
Democratic candidate Fulton ]. Red
man against Arthur r. Gould, Re
publican nominee. Charges have
been made that Gould made i'm
proper campaign expenditures, but
these charges were not sustained.
In the belief of Republican lead
ers here Gould's chances Of cleo
ton have been considerably reduced
by the Brewster bolt.
If the Democrats should win, the
Democrats would control a plurality
Of the Senate by one vote. The
Farmer-Laborite is expected to vote
with Republicans upon organization
matters, however, to bring about q
4S-4S tie, which would enable Vice
President Dawes to cast the deciding
vote for Republicans.
But the situation Is further com
plicated by the series of election
contests being threatened against
Republican Senators-elect. Notice
has been served that fight will be
made to keep Senators Ware Rep)
Pennsylvania, and Smith Rep)
Illinois, from taking their seats. II
they are not permitted to vote the
Democrats would hold full sway.

REzON|NG BILLS
BRING BOMBS At
PUBLIC HEARING
In Councils Hands Now
Personalities Make SeS-
sion Heated.

Sizzling from contact with heated
oratory, two rezoning ordinances
were in the hands CT city council
men today, following a fiery council
committee public Fearing Friday.
The ordinances propose to rezone
for filling stations two corners at
the south approach of the Delaware
st. bridge over Fall Creek and for
business blocks locations at Forty
Sixth st. and College Ave. The dis
tricts now are zoned only for resi-
dences.
Argument on the actual issues was
subordinated at the public hearing
to personalities.
There was the rising from his
sat of Gustav G.. Schmidt.
TITS a lie!' Gustav c.. Schmidt
declared at one point in the hearing.
The occasion was an assertion by
Councilman Otis E. Bartholomew,
meeting chairman, that Schmidt,
city plan commission president, was
associated with the Ostrom Realty
Company.
Councilman Rises
Councilman o. Ray Albertson was
perhaps a shade faster in rising
from his chair when j. M. Tindall,
properey owner opposed to rezoning
Delaware st. corners, declared.
HE (Albertson) told us that the
Standard Oil Company had done
more to elect him than the entire
Fall Creek Civic Association"
That's not true" Albertson yelled.
I'll call you to account to prove
that"
"Seven or eight members Of the
association heard you say it," Tindall
replied.
Bartholomew pounded the gavel
and Councilman Austin II. Todd de-
manded that Tindall be removed.
Contention by Attorney
Property owners contended that
practically all residents within three
blocks Of the location were opposed
to the oil stations, but Merle N. A.
Walker, attorney for Mrs. Mary
Spann, owner of one Of the corners,
said Delaware st. has become a
business thoroughfare and should be
zoned for commerce as far as Fall
Creek.
A. E. Mantell, real estate dealer,
admitted he bought a corner at
Forty Sixth st. and College Ave. for
$4,000 and had asked $4,000 for
it after passage Of the coming ordi-
nance. He said he would build
beautiful brick and stucco block
with regard to the Identification pro-
gram of the neighborhood.
Irregular practices of the plan
commission in the past were dis
closed when Schmidt admitted that
while six is a quorum, it is GUS
tomary for five of us to act on some
matters" A meeting of only five ap-
proved Mantell's request, he admit
ted.

WATSON'S ANGER
OVER KOKOMO'S
SNUB IS SEEN
Believe Brown, ex-Chairman,
Forced to Resign Plum in
Justice Bureau.

kOkOMO, Ind, Nov. 27.-An ink.
ling Of the displeasure Of Senator
James r. Watson over losing How
ard County both in the election and
last springs primary, was seen to-
day in the announcement from
Washington that Omer Brown, for
mer Republican county chairman,
had resigned his place in the investi-
cation bureau Of the Department Of
Justice. at Chicago. effective next
Tuesday night.
1t was believed here that Watson
had forced Brown to resign.
Under Sentence Now
Brown has been in disfavor with
many Republican voters, especially
the women, since his arrest and con-
viction on charges of operating gam
bling devices in the county. He was
sentenced and his case is now pend.
ing appeal before the Supreme
Court.
As a result, Howard County went
for Claris Adams in last springs
primary, the only county in the
State Watson lost. The battle cry
was Beat the Watson Brown ma
chine"
Promised POstOfiice
Watson, it is said, had promised
Brown the postmastership OF Koko-
mo. Following Browns rebuke at
the primary, Watson compromised
by getting Brown appointed last
July to the Department of Justice
at Chicago at a salary said to exceed
that of the Kokomo postoffice and
Morton Lamb was named county
chairman.
Now that the election is over, pol
iticians believe that Watson, an
gered at losing Howard county, or
dinarly strongly Republican, in two
tests at the polls, has ditched Brown
for good, forcing him to resign his
Department of Justice job.

was committed when interest as high

1.-THE loan companies have no re-
course in the courts, under the law,
to collect the money" Niblack stat
ed. "They have loaned the money
without the signatures of wives of
the men. The state law requires the
wives signatures on any loan."
Niblack said the companies were
threatening the mems jobs under
tho order aDfOrced nv all railroads
that none of their employees can
borrow from loan sharks" The
railroad companies here, however,
have assured the prosecutors office
that none Of the men will be dis
charged.
