DAWES MAY GET
REVENGE TODAY
See Tie Vote in Brookhart-
SteCk Contest.

WASHINGTON, April 12.-After
long and tedious debate, the Senate
is prepared to vote on the Brook
hart Steck election contest at p.
m. today.
The outcome is in doubt and there
is a bare possibility of a tie vote in
which case Vice President Dawes
would have the opportunity Of max
ing the decision. During the 1924
campaign when Senator Broolhart
was a candidate for reelection in
Iowa, he demanded in public state
ment that Dawes be removed from
the Republican ticket. The result
was that thousands of Republicans
deserted Brookhart and voted for
the Democratic candidate, Daniel F.
Steck.
Brookhart was given a certificate
of election but Steck protested to
the Senate that he was the actual
victor After examining and count
ing the ballots, a Senate committee
declared Steck won by 1920 votes.
Many technicalities relating to the
marking of ballots are involved. The
Senate is about to vote on this re-

GARY, Ind, April 1.-TWO men

charged with violating the State
prohibition law, because they sold
the malt tonic beer sanctioned by
the Feedral prohibition department.
The men arrested were George
Piamankos, candy store proprietor,
and Paul Remmanos. a clerk. They
were to be called for trial in city
court today.
1t was expected that a con-
tinuance would be asked to permit

Gary druggists have not put the
tonic on sale, although large orders
have been placed with wholesalers

wait until legality of the sale under
the Wright bone dry law was de-
termined.
