HOUSE PASSES
MEMORIAL BILL
FOR 100000
Provides Federal Board in
Charge of Celebration
at VincenneS.

The Federal Government will par
ticipate in the celebration of the
150th anniversary Of George Rogers
Clark's capture of VincenneS. This
was assured late Monday when the
House passed it's own measure au-
thorizing $1000,000 for a memorial
to be built by Federal commission.
ConfsJeeS Of House and Senate are
to meet in the next few days to
straighten out differences in the two
bills, the Senate measure, which
passed earlier, providing $1,750,OO0
to be spent by the Indiana Clark
commission.
Tt is expected that the measure
which finally energies will call Tor
slightly larger authorization, al
though the principle of Federal
erection probably will be main
tanned.
In order to start work this sum-
mer it will be necessarily for Con-
gress to include the money needed
in the deficiency appropriation bill
to be introduced i'll few days.
The bill was passed through the
two-third vote being necessary.
Representative Luce of Massachu-
sets, chairman of the House Lii
brary Committee, which reported
the measure, steered it through, and
Representative Greenwood of In
diana described Clarks achievement
to the House.
Hope was expressed by Luce that
Illinois would join In the celebration,
but Representative Rathbope of that
State said that Illinois intended to
celebrate Clark's capture Of KaS-
kask1a, Ill, which preceded his
march on Vincennes. Hope was
also expressed by Luce that Indiana
could build the proposed memorial
bridge at Vincennes without making
it toll structure.

Adams Warns Against
Fraud in Final Speech.

A warning to the STUB pencil
boys" intended to discourage at
tempts to falsify today's election
returns, was included in the final
campaign address of Thomas H.
Adams, candidate for the Repub-
lican nomination for Governor, from
WKBF here Monday night.
1.-THE sincere candidates who have
sacrificed their time and money to
further the sweeping cleanup Of the
rotten political mess at least have
the right to an honest counting Of
the ballots" Adams said.
"Why is it necessary for the
Coffin machine to select Jail birds
and gangsters for election officials?
Are these men part of the Coffin
Jackson combination to nominate
Charles w. Jewett, who was an open
political pal Of Coffin in the days
before Coffin was indicted?
"But those fast workers with the
stub pencil will be watched closely
this year."
