unless the House of Commons on

Raid Revelations.
Baldwin told the commons that the
recent raid by Scotland Yard on the

a clearing house for military espion-
age, subversive propaganda, and like
activities for North and South Ameri-
ca and Mexico, as we'll as for the
British. Empire.
He charged that the raid had re-
vealed that the soviet was behind
the communist activities in China and
that M. Borodin, China communist
leader, was under direct control of
Moscow, despite recent denials by
Livinoff and other Russian soviet Of
ficials.
No Interference
Baldwin specified that continuance
of the trading activities of the ARGOS
organization will not be interefered
with and that arrangements will be
made for trade facilities, when, and
if, the break comes.
Sir Samuel Samauel asked whether
the Laborites were acting as repre-
sentatives of the Soviet government.
This gave rise to the only disorders
while Baldwin spoke. Labor mem
bers shouted protests and the
speaker forced Sir Samuel to with
draw his remarks.
"Okay, l was only asking for infor-
nation" responded Sir Samuel, thus
causing another uproar of protest.

MUNCIE, Ind, March 1S.-Any

called Monday to act as a trial court
in the impeachment of Circuit Judge
Clarence w. Dearth that they will
be held in indianapolis indefinitely
listening to evidence, were dissipated
today when 1t was indicated that
the board of managers Of the House

case against the judge.
Instead of more than 200 wit
nesses, as previously predicted. 1t is
not probable that more than twenty

The final plans for the prosecution
are being made here today by Rep
resentative Lawrence e. Carlson of

by Representative DELPHI L. McKes-
son of Plymouth, who arrived
Thursday.
Many Not to Be Used
1t is indicated that there was
some misapprehension over the fact
that the managers secured 200 blank
subpoenas for witnesses. Many of
these were to be used only in the
event that those from whom infor-
nation was sought should prove I'M

Instead of presenting all the evil

COUNCIL BLAMED
FOR DELAY ON
BRIDGE REPAIR
Our Hands Tied,' Board OF
Works DecIareS-No
Action Yet.

With College Ave. bridge having
sunk only half an inch since Sun
day, board OF works members today
said that all repair Work on the
bridge is being held up by the de-
layed action of the city council in
ppropriating-money for the repairs.
The bridge, which was closed to
traffic when it began sinking rap
idly last Friday, now has sunk
three feet, r. II. David, indianapolis
Street Railway Company engineer,
said after inspecting the structure.
Rains during the night so, far have
failed to hurry the collapse Of the
structure, he said.
Council Blamed
1.-THE council delay is what is caus-
ing the public the inconvenience of
the bridge being closed" Oren S.
Hack, Democratic board member, de-
clared as he viewed the structure
this morning. 1.-THE board Of works
passed a resolution last October
asking for money to repair the struc-
ture, but the council took no action,
and it looks as If it will be some
time before~it does now"
Board Hands Tied
"Our hands are tied Until we get
the necessary funds" Roy C. Shane
berger, board president, declared.
I'VE want action and fast action. We
are ready to make the improve
ments."
City Engineer Chester c. Oberleas
declared that if the council uses the
gasoline tax fund for the repair Of
the bridge, as was recommended by
the -four horsemen," all street re-
pair work will have to stop for lack
of funds after the first of April.
1.-THE council can pass bond Is
sue for the repair of the bridge.
Hack declared, "but they cannot re.
pair the streets with bond issue.
But they should do something at
once"
For Safeguards
w. A. Osbon, assistant building
commissioner, declared before the
Washington Township Republican
Club Thursday night that immediate
steps should be taken to stop de-
terioration of the Central Ave. and
Thirty Fourth st. bridges.
"If six feet was added to the
Northwestern Ave. dam, it would
cause still water up the bridges and
stop the wash On the PIERS" he as
serted. each pier should also be
riff-raffed with concrete at the base
that is, concrete reinforced with
steel poured around the base Of each
pier. This would stop al present
and future trouble"
