CAUCUS CHIEFS
TO Be PICKED
Three 'Prelims' Face AS
sembIy Before Work Starts.

Inauguration today of Governor
Harry G. Leslie left three important
items of business on the legislative
calendar before the seventy sixth
general assembly can get down to
work in earnest.
Causcus chairmen remained to be
selected; committees appointed in
senate and house, and the new Gov
errors formal message heard In
joint session Tuesday.
Republican house members were
to select their causcus officers this
afternoon. 1t appeared increasing
IL certain that Representative
Claude G.. Malott of Bloomington,
would be named chairman.
Mrs. Bertha Zimmerman, Terre
Haute, representative from Vigo
county, was being advanced for sec
rotary of the house caucus.
Republican senators were still
casting about for caucus chairman
with Senator James j. Nejdl OF
Whiting, and Alonzo H. Lindlev of
Kingman, persisting in refusing the
post.
Last minute switches in fifty-one
house committees and fifty senate
committees were being made by
Speaker James M. Knapp and Lieu
tenant Governor Edgar D. Bush as
legislators returned to the capital.
In Indianapolis, Coffin forces
which have been left out on all
patronage plums, were cheered a bit
by the prospect of the appointment
of Senator Sumner Clancy to the
Craftsmanship of senate Judiciary B
committee and the appointment of
Representative Lloyd D. Claycombe
to the craftsmanship of the corre-
spending house committee. Both are
Coffin men.

SEEK LAW TO
VALIDATE CITY'S
GAS CONTRACT
Proposed Act to Be Put
Before Assembly
Next Week.

Early introduction IF the proposed
legislation to validate the city'S
rights to the Citizens Gas Com
pany was predicted today by city
officials.
Attorneys for the city and legal
representatives of the utility con-
ferred Saturday on the con en-
plated remedial legislation to en-
able the city to take over and oper-
ate the $2O,OO0,0oo plant as contem-
plated under the original 1905
franchise.
It was announced that the attor-
neys agreed ''the city can and
should acquire the property"
John w. Hoffman, mayor when
the franchise was granted, and
Fred G. Cause, special city counsel,
and Corporation Counsel Oren S.
Hack represented the gas trustees
and directors.
To Create Utility Board
1t is understood that the bill will
be drafted and ready for introduce
ton in the legislature the last OF
this week or first of next.
Action of the legislature to vail
date the contract between the city
and the gas company tand he ar
ticles of incorporation of the util-
ity will be sought, it was reported.
This would wipe out all questions
as to the enforceability of he city's
claim to the property as originally
provided.
Another bill is being prepared,
creating a utility board which would
manage and supervise the property.
It is likely that a utility district
similar to the park and sanitary
districts would be created. Such a
unit would be "nonpolitical and
have power to operate, control and
finance" the utility.
1t is understood the counsel for
the city plans delaying the formal
notice of intent to take over the
company's property until after the
proper legislation is passed.
Trustees to Meet
Gas company trustees were to
meet this afternoon in accordance
with provisions of the articles of in
corporation and bylaws to hold
annual election of nine directors.
The trustees recently received a
pledge from directors that they were
"a unit" in favoring the move to
turn the property over to the city.
Trustees are on record favoring
carrying out the original intentions
of the contract. Lucius B. Swift,
Robert Lieber, Thomas L. Sullivan,
Henry Kahn and Gus Schnull are
trustees.
Indications are that the present
directors will be reelected, although
none of the gas officials would COM
ment on their plans. The arrange
ments for the meeting were cloaked
in secrecy. Present directors:
William H. Insley, John r.. WEIGH,
G. A. Efroymson, Franklin Vonne-
gut, J. H. Hooker, G. l.. Kirk, Ed
gar H Evans, James I. Dissette and
Hornbrook.

get.

Dora
can't come!

Today, and every day, a lot of
women count their time to suffer.
AS regularly as the months come
round, comes pain that is borne in
silence. ITS Nature" women say.
But il isn't!
Women who have always had the
hardest time, have no pain at all
from the day they discover Midol.
Midol is the special preparation Of
specialists, and is not a narcotic.
It does nothing to the system. 1t
does stop the pain-in five to seven
minutes! So it is only common
sense to use it. And it costs just
fifty cents, at any drug store in tiny
carrying case of alumir1um.--Ad-
