Speaker Candidate to Be
ChoSen-May Discuss
= Modification.

Proposal of State Representative
Frank Borns of Marion County that
the 1927 Legislature shall take steps
to modify the Wright bone-dry bill
and TO obtain State rereferndum
on prohibition, may be discussed at
a caucus of Marion County Senators
and Representatives this afternoon
at the Columbia Club.
The caucus is being held to select
Marion County's candidate for speak
of the 1927 Legislature. In addition,
a chairman and a secretary of the
county delegation will be selected.
Frank e. Wright, author of the
bone-dry bill which Borns proposes
be modified. has been boosted as a
candidate for the speakers post.
Although Wright is certain to op-
pose the modification suggested by
Borns. other legislators apparently
arc not actively opposing the move,
but are deferring judgment until the
caucus reaches an agreement.
Would Withhold Judgment
Questioned by The Times, the legis-
lators expressed desire to withhold
judgment at present.
mo strings are attached to me; I'm
neither for nor against the proposal;
my intention is to wait until / hear
the arguments during the session
and then decide how I will vote"
said William Henry Harrison, who
led the Republican legislative ticket.
William r. Werner who ran Sec
ond only to Harrison in his contest
for State representative. said the
matter probably would be discussed
at the caucus.
II want to talk to the other boys
and try to reach an understanding
for all of u.s." Werner said.
II haven't made up my mind"
said II. Walker De Haven, reelected
to the House.
Nothing to say, one way or the
other" was the word from State
Representative Samuel K. Ruick.
Decision Not Given
Frank E. Kline, joint representa-
tive from Marion and Johnson coun-
ties. said he was not prepared to an
nounce his decision
John William Ebaugh, reelected
to the House, would say nothing.
Mrs. Ella Van Sickle Gardner.
elected to the House, could not he
reached, but her connection with the
Women's Christian Temperance
Union is taken by observers to indi-
cate that she will support Wright.
Chances for the modification ad.
vocates were considered to have inn
proved with the failure of the Anti
Saloon Leagues campaign to defeat
Supreme Court Judge julius Travis.
reelected by a substantial majority.
That George v. Coffin, G. o. P.
county chairman, will not actively
oppose the efforts oc the modifica.
tionists was predicted, inasmuch as
efforts to defeat Criminal Judge
James A. Collins for reelection. Col
Inns and Coffin are political play
mates of long standing.
Borns issued his statement con-
cerning the modification program i'm
lnediately after a conference with
Coffin.
Senator Open Minded
II am open minded on this ques-
ton, said State Senator Sumner
Clancy. 81 will listen impartially to
the facts and then determine my de-
cision. OF course, have my private
views .on the subject of liquor legis-
lation. but sometimes, they do not
coincide with what would be best

EDUCATION BUREAU
BILL KILLED

Although an enormous lobby has been at work in Congress to further the bill for q separate federal de- partment Of education, with its secretary a member of the cabinet, and propaganda has been carried on rclontlessIy, the death kncll of the proposal has come with the House voting indefinite postpone ment,"
 Public ltssitudc in connection with the plan 10 glorify education by q separate bureau and a cabi- net officer can be taken as being partly responsible for the inglorious ending of the grandiose scheme. The attitude of the public has been that the public school system, un- der state control, has been doing plenty well enough, does not need aid from the government and might bc injured rather than help ed through governmental inter ference. Another difficulty was the diversity of opinion among promi- nen' educators themselves.
 The original bill, contemplating the neat sum Of 510o0000o0 d year for disbursal to the states upon a 50-50 basis, as in the case O. the good roads law, died when President Coolidge lent his oppo- sition to it on the score of econo- my. It was when the federal aid feature was eliminated that the House got the denatured bill which has taken half a year to strangle.
 I, is perhaps a curious coiuci- denca that at the moment the House bill was ptgeonhoIed the Senate educational committee sub- s'itu,ed the rhipps bill, providing for "fue better definition and eH- tension Of the purpose and duties Of tho bureau Of cducation." This bureau functions as a part Of the Interior Department.
 The rbipps bill is d perfectly harmless measure. merely authoriz- ing various investigations and au- thorizes the present bureau to 'co- orera'o' with inc states when de- sired. The bill does not please those who fought for the other measure slain in the House, The main idea h,Hind the bill seems 10 be an ap- propnaiiou Of $25o.ooo for special Investigators and other jobs II does not take a son Of prophet 10 forecast It's finish.

INVESTIGATING DEATH
 OF UNRULY PRISONER
Girl Died After Gas Bomb Exploded In Cell Inquiry As to
 Cause.

Scranton. Pa.. May 7 GPl-TWo in- vestigations were under way today to determine what caused the death of Julia Sanko the day after tear gas bombs had been exploded in her cell at the county jail.
 Coroner D. J. Jenkins asserted that the girl was about to become q mother and nervousness, superin- duced by her condition, had caused her death. The official hospital r"- port gave congestion of the lungs as the cause.
 Preliminary investigation revealed that Deputy Warden George Ben more had brought the tear gas into play last Monday after all other means had failed to subdue Miss Sanko. Armed with a stick. the girl had been pounding on the door of her cell and otherwise causing the matrons trouble. She was reported to have recovered from the gas in @ few minutes, but the next day she was taken violently ill and died.

The Wisdom Tooth.

Little Mary, aged five, was travel ing in a Pullman car over night for the first time!
 The hour came for retiring and Mary was given the upper berth to sleep in. Appearing timid and cur ious at her new sleeping place, Mary commenced to ask her mother and father all sort of questions about the train and it's various features.
 Her mother assured Mary that everything was all right, that she should not worry, that her mother would be in the lower berth right under her. that God was safely watching over them, and that she should be a good girl and go right 10 sleep as soon as she had said her prayers,
 Soon Mary was heard to cry out for q drink. Shortly after that she was afraid. She kept up this man ner of fussing until her father pleaded with her to be a good girl, repeating that her mother and daddy were there close by her. that God was protecting her, and she should go to sleep.
 However, Mary continued to cry aloud!
 Soon an exasperatcd passenger in the rear of the car was heard to we'll out: For the love of Mike go to sleep. Your mama and papa'S here, Gods here. we're all here GO TO SLEEP"
 A moment of silence--then Mary was heard to say:
 Mother. Was that God?"

MANY THANKS

From the Editor to The Mothers Club Dear Mothers Club:
 I am compelled To give you ladies credit! For all your work in my behalf I'm very much indebted. But gee! TEN GIRLS! And all of
 them
 To marry me just yearning! It seems ungrateful, 1 admit, But this whole gang I'm spurning! My action casts upon these maids No sinister reflection; Each one of them, without doubt, Is worthy of affection; But should l marry them I'd get In grief too deep to wiggle, For don't you know, dear Mothers
 Club, Polygamy's illegal? Nor will I take ONE of the lot And send nine others packing; To cause nine broken hearts would
 mean In pity I was lacking. So keep your girls! I'll keep my job, Keep single and keep happy! If any woman captures me She'll have to make it snappy!

RAILROAD ETHICS

The Boston X Maine is going in for speed and then more speed. Not content with speeding up the service to Montreal, it will also speed Up its service going west in an effort 10 popularize the Hoosac tunnel route, the New York Central cooperating west of Troy N. Y. Thus the New York Central which operates the Boston & Albany. furnishes it's New England stem with a little competition. Railroads apparently are run upon q highly ethical principle.
 Something similar takes place close to our homepIate. The New Haven has highland division leading from Hartford directly east 10 Boston. but it's best main line trains 10 Boston run 10 Springfield and then become Boston & Albany trains to Boston. giving the B. X A the larger slice of its traffic from this section to Boston.
 The New Haven has been build ing up travel over the Highland di- vision consistently in late years and railroad men say the effort has been fairly successful IL ought 10 ba good business for a railroad to utilize its own tracks as much as possible.
