1t was explained that the bodies
were those of wallis who had been
left dying outside the convent
door by parents. Chinese convent
employees had refused to carry the
bodies through the streets for
burial for fear of being seized for
military service.
Eventually the situation became
so serious that the sisters were
compelled to flee, taking few or
phans with them. Most of the
children were seized and sold.

NEGOTIATE FOR
STEEL COMBINE
Local Company Included in
Tentative Plans.

Negotiations for the formation of
a $4,000, 900 steel merger of the
Chapman-Price Company Of Indian
apolis, the Kokomo Steel and Wire
and the Sheet Steel Company of Can
ton, Ohio, have been under way for
the past few weeks, it was learned
today.
The three companies have not yet
reached complete agreement on the
terms of the merger, Niles Chapman,
president of the ChapmanP Price Com
pany. said.
THE entire matter is yet in a
hazy condition" declared Chapman,
land we have no announcement to
make at this time"
The Chapman-Price plant would
remain in Indianapolis if the merger
is completed, it is understood.
The Kokomo company is the larg-
est of the three. Indications point
to a disagreement on the part of the
two smaller steel companies as to the
terms of the merging.

Police Positive Dying Man Is
Notorious Jail
breaker.

Positive identification of the man
seriously wounded at Jacksonville,
Fla, as Ralph Lee, alleged murderer
and Jail breaker. was received by
Detective Chief Claude M. Worley
today.
Worley received a telegram from
Florida authorities stating: Ralph
Lee held" The message gave his
finger print classif1cations and the
number and description of the auto
he drove. 1t also described Lees
gun, which Worley said tallies with
the description of the one taken from
Carl Losey, Johnson County deputy
sheriff, when Lee, William Rowe
and Charles Snedegar escaped from
the Jail at Franklin, Ind, New
Years Eve.
Nationwide Hunt
Rowe was arrested at Richmond,
Ind, Wednesday and was returned
to Franklin, Ind, today by Losey.
Snedegar is still at large.
A Nationwide hunt for Lee was
made after his twelfth Jail escape
at Franklin.
Bert Perrott, BertilIon expert, who
checked the telegraphed fingerprint
classifications, said he was practi-
cally sure they are those of Lee,
but he would not say positively until
he saw the actual fingerprints.
ExtraditiOn Asked
Worley said he would make eff.
forts to extradite Lee and again
place him in the Indiana State re-
formatory by Governors order
Rowe was captured on a tip from
Charles Gemil of indianapolis, who
shadowed him for a bonding house
which had provided his bond here
on a liquor charge. Rowe skipped
the bond and was arrested at Frank
lin on another liquor charge. Rowe
was arrested in railroad station.
He had a ticket to Indianapolis.

CHAPLIN OUT OF BED

BIZ United Press
NEW YORK. Jan. 20.-In the
library of his attorney, Nathan Bur
kan, Charles Chaplin today immersed
himself in philosophical works in an
effort to maintain that composure
of mind which made it possible for
him to recover from mental col
lapse in less than a week. 1t was
Chaplin's first day out of bed since
last Friday.
Burkan was amazed at reports
from Los Angeles that Judge Guerin
had taken him to task for remarks
which he said he had never made.
Burkan said he had not criticised the
courts action in fixing alimony.

American, Japanese and Chinese

The movement is understood to be
an answer to the conduct of Judge
Collins incidental to the Marion
County grand jury inquiry into Indi-
ana political corruption. Collins re-
fused to accept divided report of
the grand jury which had disagreed
after eleven weeks of investigation,
thereby compelling those jurors un-
derstood to be in favor of returning
indictments to join in a report
which merely reported no indict-
ments and recommended that the
probe continue.
Delayed New Inquiry
Collins recently specifically in
structed the new grand jury that 1t
was not to take up the corruption
probe until it has finished routine
matters and received additional in
structions from him.
Innocently sandwiched in the
Lake County court bill appears this
provision:
Immediately upon taking effect
of this act all cases then pending
on the dOckets of the Criminal
Court of Marion County and all
records of said court are hereby
transferred to the Marion Circuit
Court of Marion County"
Effective at Once
The bill provides that the transfer
shall go into effect Immediately.
Senator Cravens refused to COM
ment upon the purpose of the bill.
The resolution for the investiga-
ton, now resting in committee, would
permit investigation of any acts OF
Collins in connection with the grand
jury investigation which resulted in
no indictments.
Collins was surprised when told
Of the introduction Of the measure.
"Well that's all news to me-" he
said. II will not say anything about
it until I've had a look at the bill"

Coffin Auerts New City Hall Shake-Up
Confers With DuvaIl and
City Councilman Moore
in Mayors Office.
BOARD CHANGES HINTED
All Refuse to Comment After
Session.

George V. Coffin, Marion County
Republican boss, slipped up the
back stairway to Mayor John L. Du-
wallis office today and apparently
averted, for the time being at least,
what had promised to be a grand
ruckus in the mayors office family.
Before Coffin had wound his way
up that spiral staircase, leading from
the board Of works office, it had been
reported by one of the men involved
that a city councilman was to re-
sign and be given major city ap-
pointment. Just whose job at city
hall the councilman was to receive
was what MAS causing the threat
ened ruckus.
Talks of Shake-Up
For a while there was talk that
the councilman was to get city
Purchasing Agent Johi Collins job.
Collins having been in the limeliSht
about the city milk contract lately,
but after Coffin had left the mayors
office Duvall Loyalty stuck by Col
Inns, declaring he was a good man
and he would be 'the last man I'd
discharge"
Boynton Moore. leader of the
-Four Horsemen" council faction
and former council president, was
in conference with the mayor when
Coffin arrived.
Moore has said he intended to re-
sign from council to be appointed
purchasing agent.
Silent
After the conference he would
say nothing and refused to answer
all questions.
Before the conference reports
were heard that several changes in
membership of one of the city boards
were due.
Lem Trotter and Roy C. Shaneber-
ger, board Of works members, were
in conference with Duvall Wednes-
day afternoon. They would not COM
ment on what was discussed.
Drs. E. e. Padgett and w. e. Men,
denhall have accepted appointment
to the board Of health to succeed DR..
Goethe Link and Sol Schloss, the
mayor said.
"Petty Politics"
Link and Schloss resigned because
they said, petty politics made con
ditions intolerable.
That Padgett will be named presi
dent of the board it is believed
Duvall named Padgett and Menden
hall to the board at the beginning
Of his administration, but Schlos:
and Link, Shank appointees, re
fused to resign at the time, so they
could not serve. 1t was generally
understood at that time that the
mayor wanted Padgett to be the
president.
DR.. F. e. Jackson, present presi
dent of the board, responded vigor
ously to the statement made by Link
and Schloss, in submitting theii
designations.

BR United Press
WASHINGTON, Jan. Ex-senator
James E. Watson RepD, Indiana.
who attempted to persuade Frank
4. Smith, Republican Senator.desig-
nate OF Illinois, not to come to the
Senate, today took up the cudgel in
Smiths behalf
Opening the second day of Senate
debate on the proposal to bar Smith
because of excessive campaign ex-
penditures, Watson pleaded that
Smith should be admitted.
Il was opposed to his coming here,
for many reasons" said Watson,
"but he is here and knocking at the
door.
This is an issue which transcends
heve that when considered in an i'm
partial light, Smiths claim to his
party and personal desires and I be-
seat is valid. There is no question
as to his constitutional qualifications.
So far as the right to seat is con-
cerned, the chain of precedents is un-
broken that he is entitled to be
sworn.
"Inasmuch as he has been regu-
larly appointed and has all the con-
stitutionaI qualifications of age and
mesidence, ! believe he must be adj
tted in accordance with the con-
stitution-"
Smith again sat in the rear Of the
Republican side of the chamber in
a visitors chair.
The debate again became heavy
with argument on delicate shades of
Interpretation of the constitutional
article which says a Senator must
be 30 years Of age, must have been
citizen Of the country for nine
years and must have been elected
from the State in which he is a resi-
dent.
1.-THE Senate cannot go beyond or
lessen these qualifications" said
Watson.
Senator Robinson, Democratic
floor leader, asked Watson if he
thought the Senate would have to
admit a man afflicted with a con-
tagious disease, or a muderer, and
Watson said the Senate would be
compelled to admit any properly
elected person.
"Then a man afflicted with leprosy
could get into the Senator"
Robinson Asked
absolutely, if he was elected
properly" Watson answered.
"And you maintain that a man
who was admittedly an idiot could
get in here?" Robinson persisted.
absolutely" Watson said.
"WelI. we all know" said Robin
son, that many fools, damned fools,
get into legislative bodies sometimes,
but l maintain that the constitu-
tional restrictions are only restric-
tions and that the Senate can go
beyond them to get other qualif1ca-
Anions Of sanity if it so chooses. ]
Annot see that the constitution
binds this body to admit one guilty
of crime, or ineligible to sit here"
Watson Confessed" that in Brig
ham Roberts case in the House he
had left the "realist' and Joined the
"sentimentalists," and voted for bar
ring the Mormon, charged With
practicing polygamy.
'I have been sorry for that vote
and apologized for 1t many times"

COMMISSION
DEATH BILL
IS ADVANCED
Committee Report Favoring
Passage Is Adopted in
Senate 80 to 20.
HOT DEBATE IS WAGED
Party Lines Disappear as
SoIonS Take Sides.

With the elimination of the clause
reviving the old railroad commission,
the Senate bill abolishing the In
diana public service commission will
go to second reading. This was the
decision rechaed at the Indiana
Senate session this morning which
was marked by hot debate.
Senator Howard A. Cam, Frank
fort, author of the bill and chair
man of the committee on public
rights and franchises to which 1t
was referred upon his own request,
reported it out this morning with
amendment and a committee report
unanimously in favor of it's passage.
In explaining the amendment, Cam
declared that the committee believed
that transportation regulation is
taken care of by the Interstate Com
merce Commission and revival of the
railroad board was not necessary.
Motion Made
When the bill reached the clerks
hands than Senator William F.
Hodges, Gary, introduced a motion
for further public hearings. The
only one held was Wednesday after
noon. The motion started the debate
which lasted an hour and resulted
in defeat of the Hodges motion, 20
to 30, and vive voce approval of the
committee report. .-s
Senator's James J. Nedjl, Whiting,
and Edward O'Rourke, Jr., FIT.
Wayne, joined Hodges in arguing
for his motion for further hearing,
while Democratic Senator Joseph
Cravens, Madison. joined Republi-
cans Cam and Alonzo H. Lindley,
Kingman, in urging immediate ac-
ceptance of the committee report.
"Such delays as Senator Hodges
proposes are directly designed to aid
the utilities in keeping this commits
sion which they cherished and the
people do not want" Cam declared.
I'm other years when the peoples
representatives have tried to dc
something in this matter, the bills
have been given hearing upon hear
ing until they were finally talked
to death"
Importance Cited
Proponents of the further hearing
motion declared that the bill was
the most important piece Of legisla-
ton of the year, that it vitally af-
fected 80 per cent Of the people, and
that any hearing should be be held
before it was ultimately decided
upon.
A single Democrat, Otto w. Koe-
mig, Ft. Wayne, voted for the Hodges
motion. Senators voting to delay the
measure were Alldredge, Beeson,
Blackburn, Brown, Cooper, Draper,
