HOUSE TO VOTE
SOON ON CT. ARK
MEMORIAL BILL
Commute viii Report
Today on Measure After
Long Delay.


WASHINGTON, April 23-The
House bill authorizing 100000 for
a memorial to George Rogers Clark
at Vincennes, Ind, was expected to
be reported to the House today,
after being held up three weeks i'll
the library committee by Repre-
sentative Luce, its chairman.
Pressure was brought to bear OH
Luce by Representative Albert
Vestal, House whip, after the Indiana
delegation held meeting Saturday
night.
The delegation in conference with
D. Frank Culbertson and other
members Of the Indiana Commits
sion, agreed to pass the bill "as is
and then to seek at least $1,500,00O
for the memorial through compro-
mise in conference between the
House and Senate, the latter body
having passed a bill authorizing ST.
100000.
Senator Watson, of Indiana, with
whom the HOLSTERS have been work.
ing, was indignant at Luce's re-
ported attempts to make an agree
ment that the Senate conferees
would leave the bill untouched.
Luce's committee which sliced the
amount and asked also reframing
of the bill so that a Federal COM
mission would build the memorial,
has been holding the bill back Sc
that its proponents would have to
take the changed bill or nothing, in
the legislative jam at the end of the
session.
The first chance to pass the bill
will probably be next Monday.

u. S, May DROP
OIL PLOT CASE
AGAINST FALL
Little Chance TO Convict
Seen After ACquittaI
of Sinclair.
BIZ United Press

81 Cht6cu Pfc8S
WASHINGTON, April 23.-An-
nouncement Of a Government deci-
sion to drop the Teapot Dome con-
Spiracy indictment against former
Secretary of Interior Albert B. Fall
is expected this week, as a result of
the acquittal Of Harry F.. Sinclair
Saturday by the the jury which
tried the oil multimillionaire on the
same charge.
Owen j. Roberts and Atlee
Pomerene, special Government
prosecutors in the oil cases, will
make final decision on the ques-
ton in few days. They believe
now there is little chance Of OBJ
tanning conviction in the three
criminal cases still pending, and all
of them may be dropped.
This would bring to an end the
cases resulting from the first Tea
pot Dome Senate investigation.
Prepare for Stewart Trial
Meantime, however, Acting
United States Attorney Leo A.
Rover prepared for trial the first
case resulting from last winters
renewed Senate oil inquiry-the
indictment of Robert w. Stwart,
chairman of the board Of the
Standard Oil Company of Indiana,
on a charge Of contempt of the
Senate. Stewart has pleaded not
guilty, and his trial before a jury
has been tentatively set for May
81.
The Senate Teapot Dome COM
mittee expects to discuss with
Stewart Tuesday evidence tending
to indicate he received one-fourth
Of the Continental Trading Com
pany'S mysterious $3,O80,O00 Liberty
bond profits.
Members Of the Sinclair jury,
which returned it's verdict after an
hour and f1fty-siX minutes Of de-
liberation, were reluctant today to
discuss the case, although one or
two disclosed that the defense law
yers won the case long before it
went to the jury The verdict was
reached on the third ballot, eight
voting for conviction and four being
uncertain on the first ballot. Only
two were uncertain on the second
vote.
"Victim of Circumstances"
The jury was said to feel Sinclair
a victim of circumstances, indicat-
ing that the defense's reiteration
that "95 per cent of the Govern
ments case was against Albert B.
Fall and 5 per cent against Sin
clair" made a deep impression.
The other two pending oil indict-
ments which may be dismissed
charge Fall with having received a
100000 bride from E. L. Doheny,
to whom Fall leased the Elk Hills
naval reserve in 1922, and Doheny
with giving the same "bribe."

to signal each time he hears a
sound. A truthful signal can be
made almost instanteously, but if
the patient must stop to decide
each time in which ear he hears
the sound, much more time is re-
quired and he quickly becomes
confused, thus betraying himself.
These tests are expected to
prove valuable in compensation
cases where loss of hearing is in
volved.

easily discovered.
A push-button on the instru-
ment which measures the tone
emitted for the test permits the
interruption of the sound at any
moment.
If a patient says he hears
tone, and then claims that he still
hears it when it has been cut off,
it is evident that he has been de-

OHIO CONTEST VITAL
BY RAY TUCKER.

WASHINGTON, April 23.-Her-
bert Hoover will meet several stern
tests in Tuesdays primaries in the
pivotal States of Ohio, Pennsylvania
and Massachusetts, With 1863 dele
gates involved Hoover seems sure
of ninety, but hopes to pick up many
more.
The Ohio primary is all-impor-
tant at this stage, for here Hoover
is facing his whole field of rivals,
including Lowden, Curtis, Watson
and Dawes. If he can defeat that
alliance he will definitely prove his
yote-getting qualities and popularity
with the people.
Though Dawes is not an avowed
candidate, it is admitted that the
Ohio primary has developed into a
battle between Hoover and the Vice
President,
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1928-04-23
Will Settle Draft Issue

In Massachusetts Hoover will face
the dwindling group, which, despite
Coolidge's fourth sharp warning,
still hopes to force him into the
race. This faction is headed by
William M. Butler, G. o. P. chair
man.
The result may determine whether
Coolidge's letter forbidding use OF
his name in the primary has had
the effect intended, or whether his
home people think the President has
not vet said 81 will not run"
If thousands write in Coolidge'S
name on stickers, the anti-Hoover
politicians will continue their
cIamor for Coolidge. If not, the die
hard army may suffer from whole
sale assertions to the Hoover camp
There are no contests in the
Pennsylvania affair, but the per-
sonnet of the seventy mine delegates
will reveal what chance Hoover has
of getting a large vote from this
State at Kansas City.
Mellon Nom COmmittal
Mellon still remains non-com-
initial, and in that respect has
given aid and comfort to the anti
Hoover forces headed by Charles
D. Hilles, New York National COM
mitteeman. But such prominent
Pennsylvania as Senator Reed,
Boss Ware of Philadelphia, Governor
Fisher and w. B. Mellon, G. o. P.
chairman, incline toward Hoover,
and Tuesdays result may have a
decisive influence on the Secretary
Of the Treasury.
The Hoover forces claim at least
thirty delegates in Ohio, while the
opposition concede him only six
teen. If he gets more than twenty,
he can rightfully regard it as a
victory over Dawes. In Massachu-
sets he S expected to pick up az
least thirty and possibly the whole
thirty-nine.
