INJURED FIRM TO SUE

Controversy over the delivery of
milk to the city hospital on the
1927 contract, waXed warmer this
morning, when the Polk Sanitary
Milk Company, was forced to take
back 100 gallons Of milk and ten gal
Ions of cream, because the Jessup G.
Antrim Ice Cream Company had
made the delivery.
The original milk contract for this
year, amounting TO $4,000, was
turned over to Polk's Dec. 2S, and
rescinded within twenty-four hours
after A. w. Antrim, president Of the
]. & A., was selected a prospective
member of the new county grand
jury, to continue a probe into al
legged graft and corruption in Indi-
ana politics, Polk officials say. The
contract then was turned over to
the Jessup firm.
City Purchasing Agent John Col
Inns is charged by Polk officials with
resembling the contract.
Court Action Today
Walter Pritchard, attorney for
Polk's, was to file a petition for
writ in specific performance to-
day, asking that the contract
with Polk's be carried out. When
it is filed the writ will be taken be-
fore a Superior Court judge for i'm
mediate ruling.

storerooms at City hospital, said Col

MEXICO GIRD|NG
AGAINST REBELS
Reports of KidnapingS and
Other Disorder Continue.

BIZ United Press
MEXICO CITY, Jan. By order
of the secretary of war, mounted po-
lice and federal troops moved today
to the danger spots" in Mexico to
prevent further insurrectionist up
risings.
The acts of vilonce in various Sec
tions of the country, it was said,
particularly in the suburbs Of Mexi-
co City, have been directed by insur
rectionists who have thus far eX
hibited no signs of unity, and by re-
ligious workers who oppose the
Gales government because of the re-
ligious laws enforced by the present
regime.
Mounted troops were in pursuit
today of $50 rebels who killed a
hunter and wounded three others in
the hills near Tlalpan.
Officials of Tlalpan reported the
kidnapping Of two Catholic priests in
the village Of San Salvador by rebel
bands, but observers were disin-
clined to believe that any priests
lived in that village Of huts.

work, then all else is left outside
for that moment. With such a
power the mind is always ready to
devote its full capabilities to that
which the will wills, unhindered by
other impressions which try to push
themselves into it's gearing to dis
turb its efficient functioning.

WARM CAUCUS TONIGHT
Pittenger, Leslie Factions
Claim Enough Votes.

Sand and gravel VS.. crushed stone
are the contenders in the main bout
to be staged at the Republican
caucus for the speakership of the
seventy-flfth biennial session of the
Indiana State Legislature. The
caucus will be held in the chamber
of the House of Representatives to-
nigit at Z.
In the corner of the crushed stone
interests Lawrence Cartwright,
chairman of the Republican State
executive committee, Eighth District
chairman and principal manipulation
of the crushed stone business of the
state, will be found assisted by the
Observation-Disclosures fac
ton, printing their candidate in the
person of Lemuel A. Pittenger, Sell
ma, member of the 1925 Legislature.
Pittenger voted for the Kissinger
'Road Ripper" bill which would have
abolished the present highway COM
mission.
Out on Limb
Carrying the smelling salts and
towel for Harry Leslie of Lafay-
cite, Speaker of the 1925 meeting,
are found the loyal supporters OF
the present highway commission.
Those who have been placed "out on
a limb" as they call it, by broken
promises of the Governor, are also
found in this camp.
And between these two camps are
found a sman group who will proba-
bly, make the real decision because
they hold the balance of power.
Both the Pittenger and Leslie fac
tons are claiming enough votes to
carry the caucus tonight.
AS in years past whoever carries
the caucus will receive the unani-
nous Republican vote when the Leg
islature convenes Thursday, unless
the unit rule which has prevailed in
the past is overthrown.

ton to hissi924 campaign fund by
the utility interests. agreed to name
as members OF the commission per.
sons favorable to the utilities.

changes from the original, in order
