GRAND JURY is
FROZEN OUT
Judge Collins HeedS Cold
Weather Excuses.

Cold weather and the high cost
OF living combined today to keep
Marion county without grand
jury. Criminal Judge James A. Col
Inns needed the pleas of all six pros
pective jurors drawn today and ex-
cused them.
The court ordered new venire of
fifteen drawn to report Wednesday.
Six who can serve may be called
from this list.
The judge heard these excuses
from those called today:
Fred A. Hamp, 1851 Baltimore
street, badly needed in the Office of
the Crane Company, plumbing
wholesalers.
George Balm, boilermaker for the
B. & O., 2012 West New York street,
couldn't afford to work for only 81
day as a grand juror
Emil g. Rassman, $50 North OK
ford street, presented doctors cer-
tif1cate he was too i'll to go out in
weather like this. -
Fred H. Hansing, 1913 Orange
street, badly needed on his job as
service manager for an elevator
company.
Omer Green, r. r. 1, farmer with
200 head of hogs to take care Of.
Rufus Heinstand, r. R. g. in the
coal and ice business and this was
his busy day.

CHARGE
INQUIRY AGAINST
LAWYER PUSHED
Further Complaints Probed
on w. R. WaddeII and
Marion Club.

Further investigation of the ac-
tivities OF w. r. Waddell, local
attorney, who, it is alleged, has been
collecting stock certificate money
for members and relatives of mem
bers of the defunct Marion Club and
retaining large amounts, was being
conducted today by Deputy Prose-
cutor George Eggleston.
He was prompted indefinitely 10
continue the probe because of
series of additional complaints that
have been received since Waddel
was ordered to make good" what
ever money he had not turned over
to rightful owners, by Superior
Judge Byron K. Elliott last week.
He will be cited for contempt of
court if he does not make restitution
within a few days, Elliott threat
ened.
One woman, who refused to give
her name for publication, but who
is the daughter of a late state Of
fetal, said Waddell visited her home
last August and said he had some
money for her"
She said that he did not tell her
the amount but said it was in
Marion Club stock that her father
owned. She signed a paper that
would permit him to collect the
funds for her.
ct never have heard from him
since" she said. IT do not know
the exact number of shares of stock
my father owned, but will confer
with authorities about the matter"
This is being investigated by
County Clerk George o. Hutsell.
James A. Dodd, father OF William
L. Dodd who died several years ago,
and Mrs. Carrie Thompson, widow
of Thomas L. Thompson, have COM
planned of Waddell's activities TO
Eggleston. w. L. Dodd and Thomp-
son were club members.
Dodd said Waddell offered to
collect $3.50 which he said was due
DodG for fee of 1878. Dodd said
he later received the latter amount.
Records in the clerks office show
that Waddell collected $4750 in
stead of $3.50 On each $25 share
of stock, $4750 was to be refunded.
This included interest and dividends.

Measure Opposing

Free treatment of hydrophobia

would be stopped by repeal meas
ure DR.. John Hewitt of Terre TTaute,
chairman of the State Medical AS
sociations legislative committee,
hopes to have enacted by the APP

Advantage has been taken OF the
law, Hewitt declares, and tnou-
sands of cases, in which patients
are able to, pay for treatment, re-
ceive it free from the state health
board,
I'm 1911, DR.. J. M. Hurry, secre-
tary of the state board of health,
took several members of the legis-
lature, which was then in session,
to hospital and showed them a
boy who was dying from hydropho-
bia," DR.. Hewitt declared.
"They were so impressed that they
passed law providing that the
state would pay all expenses of mad
dog victims to indianapolis for
treatment, with the expense OF a
nurse also, if necessary.
"Since that time the law has been
taken advantage of and the state
health board treats thousands OF
cases. Pasteur treatment was not
so easily available then as now,
when doctors in every hamlet are
qualified to administer it in simpli-
fed form, which requires simply a
hypodermic injection daily for four
teen days.
"The law is now obsolete and will
be repealed, we believe"

WASHINGTON. Jan. 7.--Negotia-
tons seeking to end the senate's not
dispute over the Kellogg anti-war
treaty with a compromise under
taken by senate leaders over the
weekend, accomplished nothing,
and the numerically small but high
powered opposition took up the
cudgel against the pact again today.
The compromise solution was Of
fered by Senator James E. Watson
of Indiana, now practicing to be-
corle senate leader after March 4.
He got the opposing leaders to-
gether and proposed the reserva-
lions embodied in the Moses-Reed
resolution, explicitly exempting
traditional American foreign poll
cies from the treaty, be written into
an ofici2l report by the foreign
relations committee. In return for
such a report he expected the oppo-
sition to abandon its resolution.
Sought to Spur Vote
Watson's idea was that the
foreign relations committee go on
record as to its Interpretation Of
the treaty and thus save the adj
ministration from an embarrassing
vote on the interpreta live Reed
Moses resolution.
Chairman Borah, who is cham
pioning the treaty, was agreeable
enough to such a course ''if it would
speed up a vote on the treaty" he
said. But Senators Reed of Mis-
souri, and Moses Of New Hampshire,
the opposition leaders, frowned on
the scheme. They felt that a report
would not have a sufficiently official
tinge They asked more time to
think it over.
The report proposed by Watson
would embody statements. that the
Monroe doctrine, as an essential
part of American self-defense,
would not in amy way be affected by
the treaty. 1t would point out the
United States assumed no obliga-
tons for coercive enforcement of
the pact and specify particularly
that each nation could decide for
itself what was its own self-defense.
1AitSC are LltC oehllAt ANSdo CAlASOAASA
in the Reed-Moses resolution.
Study Tariff Revision
If the. agreement can be effected
the treaty can be ratified without
further argument and the senate
can turn its attention to the naval
cruiser building bill. If not, the
debate may drag on indefinitely,
although Borah hopes to be able
to force a vote before the end Of
this week.
The senate judiciary committee
today took up the two resolutions
proposing investigation of prohibi-
ton to refer them to a sub-com-
mittee. A compromise resolution IS
expected to be drawn. Authorizing
President Elect Hoover to appoint
al investigating commission of nine
members, in accordance with the
promise he made during the recent
campaign.
Tariff revision hearings, which
will last seven weeks, were started
by the house ways and means COM
mittee.
The house wreStled with the first
deficiency and the war department
appropriation bills. both of which
are expected to be passed before
night.
