Indiana Would Lose Two
Representatives Under
ReapportiOnment.

By Times Special
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1O.-The
Fem reapport1onmenG bill was to
come up for action in the house to-
day with the Indiana delegation
more than two to one against it.
Under the bill as drawn, propos-
ing reapportionment of the number
of representatives. among the
states as determined by the census
of 1880, the house to remain at its
present size OF 435, Indiana would
lose two members, and her present
congressional delegation Of thirteen
would be cut to eleven. Other states
which have gained more proportion
ately in population since the 1910
census would be benefited.
The Indiana delegation held a
meeting yesterday, called by Rep
resentative Vestal, whip of the
house, Vestal had hoped, as rep
resentatiye of the house leadership,
to get the Indiana men to vote for
the bill. But the conference broke
up without agreement, and it was
decided each man should vote for
himself.
The members definitely expected
to vote against the bill are Repre-
sentatives Rowbottona, Evansville;
Johnson, Terre Haute; Updike, if
present; Elliott, Hall, Hogg, all Re-
publicans, and Representatives Can
field, Gardner and Greenwood,
Democrats.
Representatives Wood, VesGal and
Hickey are expected to vote for the
bill and Representative Purnell is
doubtful.
If the legislature is Republican, it
would be expected to reapportion
the eleven new districts in such way
as to eliminate one of the present
Democratic districts, probably that
Of Representative Greenwood, the
Second, the First and the Third also
are Democratic, but geographically
so situated as to make it hard to
gerrymander them into Republican
strongholds.
There still would remain in the
problem of eliminating Republic
an district, however, and inferenti-
ally the job of one Of the ten In
diana Republicans sitting in the
house. This is thought to explain
opposition of other HOLSTERS.

BOAST LANDS
BANK SUSPECT
IN JAIL Cell
Woman Repeats Remarks
and Police Get CIeW,
Make Arrest.
TWO CITIES CLAIM HIM
Benny London Is Accused in
Louisville and Clinton
RobberieS.

A boast repeated in idle gossip by
a woman led to the capture OF
Benny London, alleged bandit, fol-
whose custody Clinton Qnd.) and
Louisville authorities are fighting
detectives disclosed today.
Municial Judge Paul c.. Wetter is
to decide at a hearing this afternoon
whether London will go to Clinton
to face trial on the charge of be-
ing one of the bandits in the 100000
holdup, Dec. 20, of the First Nation
al bank there, or to Louisville, where
he is charged with holding up a
$4,000 poker game.
Kentucky authorities have been
seeking London's return there for
more than a week and have extra
dition papers from Governor Jack
son and support of Prosecutor judi
son L. Stark. Clinton authorities
have support of the state bureau of
criminal Identification and the In
diana Bankers Association.
fused Habeas Corpus
That London was sought for the
Clinton robbery was not revealed
until Wednesday, when Superior
Judge Byron K. Elliott refused him
a habeaS corpus writ.
The boast which led to London's
arrest was made in December to a
north side married woman at whose
home London had stayed for awhile,
according to detectives.
"If they don't catch up with me
untR the first of the year, I'll be
fixed for life was the boast.
The woman reported it to a girl
friend. Probably motivated by jeal-
ousy, she repeated the boast to po-
| lice.
Arrested at Hotel
Detectives at once went to the
Wesley hotel, to which London had
moved, and arrested him as a sus-
pected gunman On a vagrancy
charge. His picture was taken and
broadcast over the country and he
was freed on bond. He was identi-
fed at Louisville by his picture as
one of the poker game robbers.
When he appeared in court to an
swer the vagrancy charge, he was
nabbed for Louisville police by De-
tectives Thomas, Barnaby and Cliff
ford Becker.
The woman, an attractive blonde,
whose gossip led to his arrest, has
visited him several times at county
Jail and declared she has proof that
London was living at her home at
the time he was alleged to have been
in the two holdups.

FAIR FRAUD CHARGED
AIIege Official Gave Prizes
to Relatives.

Because he is alleged to have dis
tributed $574 in prizes to relatives
for horses that were improperly
judged at the state fairs in 1927 and
1928, Roy E. Graham, Franklin,
member of the state board of agri-
culture, may be asked to resign.
Tentative decision to request his
resignation was reached at the board
meeting Wednesday, but the matter
was put over until the meeting in
February.
Graham was accused by R. G.
jenkins, Orleans, another board
member, and the accusations were
supported in a report by E. j. Bark
er, secretary treasurer of the board.
Graham asserted that he merely
followed the custom of awarding
prizes on horses that failed to get
into the Coliseum for judging.
E. D. Logsdon. Indianapolis, was
elected president of the board
John R. Upton, vice president and
Barker and Forest Neal, general
superintendent of the fair, were re-
elected to their posts.

BRIBE CASE DROPPED
Remy Motion on NegIey
Charges Sustained.

William H. Remy's last official act
as prosecutor of Marion county, a
motion to nolle the bribery case
charge against Claude E. Negley,
former city councilman, was Sus-
tanned today by Criminal Judge
James A. Collins.
Ren1y filed the motion Dec. %,
but on account of the illness of the
clerk the motion was laid in desk
drawer and frogotten until recently
when it came up.
The motion read upon analysis
of the evidence in hand I find that
it would be highly insufficient to
procure a conviction"
The charge grew out of the turbu-
lent conditions in 1927 when the
city council was trying to impeach
John L. Duvall, then mayor. The
charge was that Negley accepted
5000 from Duvall for his supporting
vote in the council in case they
should try and impeach the mayor.
