The legislature in 1927 appropri-

The appropriation was increased,
Leslie said, so Indiana will not be
classed as a hick state. A Governor

visit institutions and entertain now

The $4,000 is in addition to $4,000
for equipment which was spent by
the Governor some time ago for a
new official Lincoln car.
Gas Bills in Another Fund
On official trips, however, the
Governor does not have to pay for
gasoline or train fare out of the

FIGHT TOSAvE
BOY KILLER, 6,
FROM PRISON
Child Given Fifteen Years
in Reformatory for
Staying Playmate.
'PRATTLES IN COURT
Sits on Fathers Knee as
Counsel Argue Over
His Fate.
BH United Press

On 1 Htttn EftSS
PAINTSVILLE, Ky, May "a
Counsel for 6-year-old Carl Mahan
left no stone unturned today in an
effort to block imprisonment of the
child for the Staying of Cecil Van
Hoos, 8, playmate.
Appearing in Johnson county cir
cult court, the boys attorney, John
2. Wheeler, filed a suit in equity
seeking to set aside the reformatory
sentence imposed upon the lad.
A jury convicted Carl here Thurs
day while the boy sat on his fathers
knee unable to grasp the significance
of the proceedings.
Sentence-fifteen years in the
state ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS pronounced
by Judge j. w. Butcher, who in
structed the jury they must find the
boy guilty, if they determined he
knew what he was doing at the time
of the Staying.
Slew Playmate With Gun
Carl shot Cecil with shotgun
after the two engaged in a quarrel
over a piece of scrap iron. Cecil
died with seventeen shots in his
small body
Til jury decided that the 6-year-
old hoy knew what he was doing
when he ran into his home, climbed
up on a chair and took down his
fathers shotgun to shoot his chum.
Accordingly, the jury recommended
thai Carl be found guilty of man
slaughter.
The defense argues that kentucky
has no law under which a child
under 10 can be sent to a reforma-
tory, no matter how serious his Of
Tense.
Carl sat on his fathers lap while
the court proceedings went on. He
smiled shyly at the jurors and at
court attaches who spoke to him.
He listened to a witness recount the
shooting, telling how Cecil started
to run behind tree as Carl laborl-
ously pulled the heavy shotgun up
to aim it. Cecil did not reach the
tree.
PrattIes to Father
The child defendant prattled to
his father while the story was told
and while Judge j. w. Butcher in
structed the jury.
The case first was taken to the
Juvenile court, but when no deci-
sion could be reached 2. jury was
impanelled to decide what should
be done with the child.
If the sentence is upheld, Carps
boyhood will be spent in a reform
school and he would rot get his
liberty until he became Of age.

COnfereeS Unable to Agree
on How to Kill Deben-
ture Plan.
STOP SECRECY DEBATE
But Vote Is Expected on
Proposed Restriction of
Executive Sessions.
BY PAUL r. EtALLON,
United Press staG Correspondent

WASHINGTON. May 24.-Dead-
lock over the debenture clause of
the farm relief bill was reached to-
day by the committees Of the house
and senate when they held their
fourth meeting on the plan which
is strongly opposed by President
Herbert Hoover and the house.
The United Press was informed
the house committee stands to l
against taking the debenture plan
back TO the house for a vote, while
the senate committee stands to 2
ON agreeing to recede from the de-
benture plan provided house con-
ferCeS agree to take it back to the
house, where it faces certain defeat.
This peculiar situation arose in
the secret meetings because house
Conferees want to avoid a direct
vote In the house on the debenture
provision.
Question Senate Authority
They contend the senate was
without constitutional authority to
enact such legislation. Chairman
Charles Haugen of the house agri-
culture committee is the only mem
Der of the house who is said to be
IN favor of a vote.
The senate conferees have taken
the position the issue can not be
brought back to the senate. but the
house conferees are hopeful that If
the present deadlock is continued a
day or two longer, the senate con-
ferees will weaken and seek another
vote in the senate.
The complicated situation makes
il obvious that the debenture clause
is to be eliminated as anticipated, II
any farm bill is to be enacted.
Thus far the confereeS have not
discussed one sentence Of the ad-
ministraion bin with the exception
of the debenture plan. The house
conferees refuse to consider minor
changes in the bill until the deben-
ture clause is disposed of. The SEN
ate conferees want to get a SatiSfac-
tory bill in shape exclusive of the
debenture plan and they say if this
is done, they may submit the matter
to the senate.
Secrecy Debate stopped
Meantime the senate clamped the
lid down on further debate over the
investigation by the senate rules
committee of publication by the
United Press of the West and Len
root secret roll calls.
Under a unanimous consent agree
ment reached several days ago, de-
bate was confined to the pending re-
apportionment bill, which is expected
10 pass late today or Saturday.
Senator James E. Watson, leader,
deplored the exraneous debate and
expressed the hope that the senate
would handle legislative business so
q recess can be taken next week.
Senator Wesley L. Jones. assist
ant Republican leader. Immediately
told Watson he expected the SEN
ate to vote on his amendment max
ing less strict the secrecy rule, be-
fore ii takes a recess. Senator Will
liam Borah likewise expressed hope
1.-THE senate can do something be-
fore recessing, because it has done
nothing yet"
The house was concerned with the
tariff bill. preparing to adopt amend
ments satisfactory to the farm bloc.
so the tariff measure can be passed
next Tuesday.

royal family, everywhere he went he lionized,
and today he is in disgrace removed from his exalted

earth would open up and swallow him.
Franco and three companions attempted flight
across the Atlantic to America Bad weather forced
them down near the Azores and after more than
week. during which the world gave them up for dead
they were rescued by British ship and returned to
Spain with the halo OF national heroes shining over
their heads.
When all the excitement had died down, the
Spanish army authorities went to work investi
cation of the affair and charged Major Franco with
using Italian plane instead Of a Spanish one also

of adverse weather reports
He was found guilty and removed from the air
service, his command being given to another Efforts
are being made to have the punishment somewhat

minister refuses to bulge and Franco therefore knows
the poignant grief of quick transition from the heights

applications for twice much power as the dam can

which the applications have been turned over, is
swamped trying to anayze and classify them for sub
mission to the interior department which will enter
INTO contracts with the concerns desiring the power.
An equitable means Of distribution is hoped for
shortly by the department that construction of the

In this connection it is interesting to note the
statistics in Tuesdays edition of the Press giving some
idea OF the enormous tonnage that is be moved in
connection with the actual construction of the dam,
estimated to be in the neighborhood of eight million
tons.

fused to meet demands of the The
atrical Stage Employees Union.
The dispute ccntered over the
right of the bowl to operate its
switchboard with non.union man.
Since refusal of the bowl authori-

board meant a sympathetic strike by
the musicians union, the concert
was abandoned.
Some l0,o00 music lovers were
forced TO leave the bowl without
having heard one strain of music
The stage employees union. dis
covering that non-union man
handled the switchboard during con
certs. demanded that a union man
be hired to replace him.
When bowl officials refused to
concede to the demand the state un-
ION threatened to have the musici-
ans union declare sympathetic
strike.
Bowl officials considered the ulti-
