PLEA TO COMMISSION

President Robert I. Todd of the
Indianapolis Street Railway Com
pany this morning turned down the
Green petition for a 20-cent-an-
hour wage increase and recognition
Of seniority rights of those employees
who struck last summer.
Shortly afterward the committee
of thirteen" recognized by the COM
pany as official representatives of
the employees chosen by election,
called at the Office of Chairman
Frank Littleton of the public service
commission and sought to be recog-
rized as the only official committee
in cases where the commission is
called to act as an arbitration board
Names Were Filed
Following the conference, Single
ton announced that there could be
no official registration of such
committee and that each case for
arbitration must be acted on sepa-
rately by the commission. The
committee filed their names for
registration last Friday.
The Green petition was pre-
sented to Superintendent James P.
Tretton of the street car company
one week ago today.
1t was signed by James Green
and four other "eXtra board" en-
ployes, all of whom struck last

commission which brought him q
Scent an hour increase. This de-
cision was extended to all car men
and bus drivers by the company at
a cost of approximately 100000 a
year, Tretton said.
The new petition asks an in
creased minimum of so cents an
hour, with graduated scale to IS
cents. At present the car mems
scale runs from 40 to As cents. Be-
fore the first Green case, the mini
mum was 81 cents.
Baker Reveals Plan
Under the labor contract, petit
tions turned down by Tretton may
be taken to Todd and from there
to the Public Service Commission.
That will be the next step of the
new petition, Frank Baker, Green S
attorney, stated.
The petition will be filed before
Baker goes to Washington Monday
to take appeal of the contempt cases
of Robert D. Armstrong and John
M. Parker to the United States Su-
preme Court. Both of these men
were sentenced to ninety days by

er the visit to Singleton's Office that
it bore no direct relation to the
turning down of the petition by
Todd, but that his group and not
Green's were the only recognized
grievance committee.
Green contends that the COM

SENATORS COLLIDE
ASOPENING NEARS
Independents to Demand
G. o. P. Recognition; Fill

BY PAUL r. MALLON
United Press Stan Correspondent

r. WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-An is
confusion backstage in the Senate
for the grand opening session of the
seventieth Congress Monday.
Leaders are tearing their b air
over some Of the prima donna
statesmen; ultimatums are being
served By the respective factions;
the Independent Republican group
is demanding that its rights be rec
ognized, and Senator David Reed,
Republican. Pennsylvania, is threat
ening to start the session off with
filibuster.
Vare-Smith Loom
Senator Curtis (Rep.), Kansas,
floor leader, is attempting to make
peace, but the groups do not appear
to be in the mood for peace, and in
dicationS are that the session will
start of with more than usual fire.
works.
Senator Reed Of Pennsylvania is
aroused because Of the threat that
Senators-E Elect Ware (Rep), Penn
sylvania, and Smith Rep), Illinois,
may be barred. Curtis had worked
out an agreement with the Demo-
Gratis whereby Ware and Smith
would stand aside temporarily when
Senators are called to the Vice
Presidents rostrum to receive the
oath Of office.
Reed has made no public state
ment of his intentions, but leaders
have been informed he will pre-
vent anyone from being sworn If
Ware and Smith are refused the
oath.
Curtis plan, If followed, would
permit organization without raising
at once the Smith-Vare eligibility
issue.
Ultimatum Served
Reeds threat, if carried out, would
keep the Senate from organizing and
would tie up everything at the OUT
set.
The Independents have served
notice in writing upon the leaders
that if the regulars want them to
play ball" in organizing the Sem
ate, they must have assurances that
their legislative program will be con-
sidered.
They want date set now for con-
Sideration Of a farm relief bill, and
they want place on the legisla-
tive program for consideration of a
bill to curb the use of court injunc-
tions in labor disputes and a reso-
luton calling for investigation of
American diplomatic policy in Cen
trail America.

BY PAUL w. WHITE


CINCINNATI, Dec. 3.-The lieu
tenant of the Remus bootleg hosts
will complete his testimony today,
and, after that, the general.
George RemuS, charged with the
murder of his wife, Imogene, will
go to the witness stand to testify in
his own defense as soon as George
j. Connors, his henchman through
the day of hquor-moneyed luxury,
his former fellow-prisoner and his
friend through the turmoil of the
last two years, is excused.
But the remainder of Corners
story and the attack upon it by the
State probably will consume all of
the short Saturday session, and
Remus must await Monday before
he can explain to the jury why he
shot and killed his wife.
Tried to Create Lady
Conners, a slender, biack-h haired
Irishman, already has told of many
incidents which led him to the con-
clusion that Remus was insane prior
to the shooting. The man who for
months was in almost daily aSsoci-
alton with Remus had a wealth of
material to support the defense of
insanity.
The testimony Of the lieutenant"
has followed closely that of other
witnesses in regard to the effect
that tales Of the alleged intimacy
between Mrs. Remus and Franklin
L. Dodge, Jr., former prohibition op-
erative, had upon Remus.
He, like the other, has pictured
Remus flying into RACES at the men,
ton of his wife's and Dodge'S names.
He has quoted his employer as say
ing, my God, I picked her out dI
the gutter, and tried to make d
lady out of her, but she didn't have
it in her."
Feared Life in Danger
But Connors has added two de-
tails to the story of Remus no other
witness has produced. They are an
account of the strong, self-centered
defendant in moment of fear and
another Of the domestic converse
tionS between husband and wife.
AS to the fear that once was
Remus', the witness recalled that on
the eve of the Jack Daniels distill-
cry conspiracy investigation in the
late fall of 1925, Remus believed his
life was to be taken.
"Remus drew up a will and broke
down and grabbed John H. rruffel
his attorney" Conners said. "DrIffeI
got excited and I told Remus he was
hurting Druffel. He said, George
I'm gone, sure RemuS broke down
and cried.
i told Remus I understood that
when he was In Jail in st. Louis
they were going to put three or fou,
gunner IN Jail, fake a fight and kill
MIN and no one would know any,
thing. He said he had the same in
formation himself and that it must
be true"
Then, telling Of conversations be-
tween Mrs. Remus and her husband
Conners presented three-act play

days.

Governor Ed Jackson'S last legal
chance to prevent going to trial for
an alleged attempt to bribe former
Governor Warren H. McCray will
materialize Monday morning, when
Special Criminal Judge Oscar H.
Montgomery hears arguments on a
plea in abatement filed by the de-
fense.
The plea was filed over objections
Of States attorneys Friday after.
noon, after Montgomery overruled
a motion to quash the indictment.
With Jackson, Republican County
Chairman George v. Coffin, and
Robert I. Marsh, former law partner
Of Jackson, are alleged to have Of
fered McCray $4,000 and promise
of immunity in Indiana courts if he
appointed James E. Mcdonald
county prosecutor in December, 1923.
William P. Evans, son-ln-law Of Nc
Cray, resigned then when. McCray
was being investigated for his
financial difficulties.
Contends Jury Is Illegal
Judge Montgomery will take the
bench at IL a. m. Monday to hear
arguments and rule in the matter.
The plea contends members of
the grand jury were selected illegal
ly because they were not enlisted to
jury service consecutively and that
Special Prosecutors John w. Holtz-
man and Emsley w. Johnson are
not qualified to aid the jury.
In support of the Jurors status,
attorneys Lewis Ewbank and Charles
Wiltsie that jurors Harry Wangelin,
John j. Madden and Ross S. Hill
Jr., were selected July 4, from a list
of six prospective servers brought in
court; that on July 9, ten more
citizens were drawn for service out
of which William j. Mooney, jury
foreman, and w. @. Thiele were
selected and that on July II, the re-
naming members Of the prospective
list were recalled and Charles Bern
loehr was chosen.
Attorneys Are Attacked
Under the defense averment,
since Mooney, Thiele and Bernloehr
were chosen from lists later than
the first, they are not qualified to
serve and, therefore, the jury had
no right investigate the Jackson
matter.
In opposition to johnson and
Holtzman, it is alleged they were
seelcted for the purpose of trying
the contempt of court case against
James E. Arnitage and filing affi-
davits until a jury was impaneled.
They are attorneys at law and

The States objections to the plea
set out that it was filed too late be-
cause the motion to quaSh had been
