After a four-day fast on bill in
Productions, state senators today re-
turned to their seats and presented
twenty new measures. They adopted
the Clements concurrent resolution
creating a commission to study the
sales tax.
They kept concurrent resolutions
regarding removal of the body OF
James Bethel Gresham, first Ameri-
can soldier killed in the World war,
from Evansville to Indianapolis and
one creating a commission to study
railroad problems from returning
from the house for reconsideration.
The. senate adjourned until 10 a. m.
Tuesday.
The railroad commission resolu-
ton brought about sharp debate and
was prevented from being returned
and reconsidered only by a few
votes. The move for reconSidera-
ton was launched by Senator Ros-
coe Martin, Logansport, and brought
forth ardent championship by those
members of the. upper house known
to be friendly to organized labor.
Railway labor lobbyists are oppos-
ing the measure as futile.
Provides for Commission
1t provides that a commission con-
sisting of labor and management
representatives serve two years as a
survey commission, without pay, and
report to the 1881 session on any re-
suits obtained, They would study
interstate and intrastate traffic reg
ulation problem, safety, labor condi-
tons and the like and offer sugges-
tons for laws.
The railroad concurrent resolu-
ton now rests with the railroad
committee in the house.
Senator Bruce e. Cooper, Stew
artsville, was single handed in at
tempting reconsideration for the
Gresham resolution. The senators
refused to accept his motion for re-
consideration almost unanimously,

PERFECT CRIME IS
PROVED IMPERFECT

Trenor Rice, deputy sheriff and
former friend of Jackson, was
in jail today after an announce
ment by police that Rice had con-
fessed to the murder of Jackson.
It was a case that would have
challenged all the ingenuity of
Jackson himself.
The murdered man, county de-
tective, had achieved considerable
reputation because of his success in
solving several crimes in this Sec
ton.
So when the detective was shot
to death Tuesday night as ne sat
reading a newspaper in his home,
interest in the case became intense.
There we're no clews, police said.
Among the pallbearerS at Jack
sons funeral was Rice. Last night
came the news Rice had confessed
Information given out by police
was scanty; they said Rice had told
them he killed Jackson because the
two men had quarreled previously,
and that Rice had been under sus-

FEAR TR0TSKI IN PERIL
IN GALE ON BLACK SEA
No Report of Ship Since 1t Sailed
on Jan. 90.

BIZ United Press
LONDON, Feb. 4.-The where-
abouts and the safety of Leon
Trotski, former Soviet leader, were
in doubt today.
A Constantinople dispatch to the
Daily Telegraph said TrotSki was
aboard the Soviet government boat
Krasnyflott, which was overdue at
ConStantinople and was believed
fighting blizZards in the Black sea.
The United Press Moscow cor
respondent reported today he had
learned that Krasnyflott was not
equipped with radio and had not
reported since it sailed from Batum,
Georgia, on. Jan. g.
No official confirmation of Trot-
skis presence aboard the boat was
given, however.
The Soviet government has
maintained a stolid silence since re-
ports first were circulated a week
ago that Trctski was to leave his
place of exile at Alma-Ata in
Russian TurkeStan.
An unconfirmed report from Con-
stantinople, quoted in an exchange
telegraph dispatch from Vienna to-
day. said that Trotski with his wife
and son had arrived safely at Con-
stantinople.

TWO MILLION
BOOST PUT IN
STATE BUDGET
Report Will Be Given to
Leslie and Assembly
This Week.
ao-CENT LEVY is SEEN
Special Requests Expected
to Add 100000
to Total.

A 100000 increase in appro-
priations for state expenses in the
next two years was being incor-
porated in the budget report being
prepared today for submission to
Governor Harry G. Leslie and the
legislature.
That the total appropriations for
state needs recommended by the
budget committee will approximate
this increase was the statement of
Representative Sam j. Farrell of
Hartford City, member of the COM
mittee.
1.-THE report is being typed and
before the end of the week should
be ready for the Governor" Far
rell said. He said few minor
changes" yet might be made.
This budget increase does not
cover special requests, which will be
appended later and are expected 20
add between $10,000,0O0 and $12,,-
100000 to the budget total.
Special tax measures and levies
have been discussed, but no definite
action has been taken, although
tentative estimate of what it will
cost to run the actual departments
of the government for 1929 and 1880
has been set at between $4,000, 900
and $54,O0O,0O0.
Special levieS are expected to add
from twelve to fifteen millions to
the total, which will bring the state
tax levy over 80 cents.
Cigaret Tax to Pass
While one measure that placing a
tax on cigarets, is expected to bring
a million dollars into the treasury,
1t will be handed over to the town
ship schools to pay more than q
million deficit incurred in operation
of these schools.
Then there is the request of the
state library and historical board
for a 1-cent special levy to raise
$1,000,000 for a state library and
historical museum.
Both of these measures are pend
ing in committee.
Three gasoline tax increase meas
ures also are pending. They provide
for increases Of l, II and 2 cents on
the Scent gas tax now in force.
Definite action on measures legal
izing and providing a method
whereby indianapolis can take over
and operate the Citizens Gas Com
pany also is expected this week.
Bills Reported FavorabIy
Both the legaliSing and operating
bills have been reported upon favor
ably and the former has advanced
to engrossment while the latter is
pending second reading.
Both houses are considering city
manager law measures.
The senate has in committee a
bill repeating the city manager law
while the house is considering a
measure which clarifies the city
manager law and provides for pro-
portional representation.
The house committee has assured
a watchful waiting attitude in re-
CARDS to the city manager bill,
awaiting any action the senate will
take on the repeal measure.
Senators today were given their
first opportunity in four days to in
troduce new bills. After the week
end they came loaded with home
town measures.
tt income tax amendment, re-
ported on favorabiy by the commit
tee on constitutional revision, was
among the measures to be consid-
cred. It was predicted that it will
pass and then be put to a vote of
the people Legislators seemed in
clined to let the referendum take
place.
