MOTHER GAVE
BLACK-DRAUGHT
"Fine for Constipation and
Sick Headache" Writes
Alabama Lady.

my mother gave Black-Draught
to all the children in our home"
writes Mrs. w. T. Taylor of Sixth
Avenue, Huntsville, Ala. ut was
the only medicine I knew of when
I grew up. We took it in the winter
Gas a laxative) for colds, and when
ever we ate anything that disagreed
with us she gave us a course Of
Black-Draught.
"After grew up, took Black
Draught for constipation and sick
headache. 1t sure is fine for that"
81 make a tea out of Black
Draught and take it at night, when
needed. 1t is the best laxative 1
know anything about, and the only
one 1 ever use. After a lifetime of
experience I can heartily recon-
mend it."
The medicine which this Alabama
lady recommends is the same Thed-
ford's Black-Draught which so
many others have told of having
used, all their lives, because Of the
good results obtained from taking it.

Auto; All Determined
to Win 1t.
It's here, folksl

What? Why, the Midget, of
course, and not one of Singers Lilli-
putiians either, but the smallest mo-
tor car In Indianapolis.
And it's a 'humdinger" and all
rarin' to go into the hands Of a car
rier of The Times who brings III the
most new subscriptions during the
next six weeks.
So, people, if you want to see a
Times carrier on your route with q
"dicky" two-seated roadster with
five 20 by 4.40 tires, a Ford engine,
canopied top and capable of As
nitlc ,an-hour speed, just corral your
carrier and give him a thirteen-Week
subscription.
The car will be driven about the
streets Of indianapolis during the
ensuing weeks.
1t has the pickup Of kangaroo,
the chumnly ways of the old Sweet
heart lane buggy, and the parking
ease of a kiddie kar.
Times carriers viewed the Midget
al a theater party at Loew'S Pal
ace Saturday.
And did they go wild? With a
vim like Barnum's wild man from
Borneo.
So when a Times carrier ap-
breaches you and says Midget"

PRISON RIOTINC
ATTRIBUTED TO
rich HARvESTS'
Lax Law Enforcement and
Easier Getaway Are
Blamed.

BIZ Times Special
NEW YORK, Feb. 3.-Overcrowd-
ing, bad food and inhuman treat
ment of convicts were not resoon-
sibIe for the six major prison re-
volts which have alarmed the coun-
try within the past six months.
The real explanation of these and
of the seething unrest in every
American prison today lies in con-
ditions outside the prison. Lax law
enforcement, corrupt courts and po-
lice, and the fact that the criminal
can get away with richer haulS
today than ever before provide the
reasons why the hardened law
breaker will take the most desper-
ate chances to win his freedom.
This is the analysis offered by
Howard Mcclellan, veteran criminal
investigator and writer on crimi-
nology, in an article published in
the current issue Of the Review Of
Reviews.
Mcclellan points out significantly
that not one man involved in the
two prison revoltS at Auburn, and
those at Dannemorra, Canon City,
LeavenWorth and Lansing, Kan.
was an amateur criminal or first
termer. All were vicious, veteran
professionals in crime.
"The professional inside the prison
figures he is missing his big chance,
declares Mcclellan. Things in his
world outside are better than ever.
He longs to reap his share of the
harvest while 1t is good
TT is not strange then to find the
professional criminal in prison
calculating that the thing to do is
to get out and go after bigger and
better swags. For the more he
steals, the less chance there is OF
his conviction. You may try to
drum it into his head that he can't
win, but he'll floor you with the
figures. He may not have read them
He doesn't have to get their mean
ing. He knows from contact with
the underworld that they are true. .

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
VOTE MAJORITY
NECESSARY FOR
LAW REVISION
Number of Ballots Cast
Bears No Relation, Is
Ogden's Ruling.

Should the majority of the votes
cast on the question of holding a
constitutional convention be favor
able, the convention must be held.
The number of votes cast bear no
relation to the matter.
Such is the ruling today Of At
General James M. Ogden in
an opinion requested by Director j.
w. Jones of the division of research
of Indiana State Teachers college.
This point already has created
considerable controversy and attor-
neys opposing the convention have
threatened to start injunction pro-
ceedings in the supreme court.
Injunction would be based on the
idea that the wording of constitu-
tional convention question is not in
line with precedent, which would
require favorable vote from ma
jority of those voting for secretary
of state at the previous election.
Three questions were asked by
Jones:
/. What are the legal provisions
for the number of votes necessary
for the success of the calling OF a
convention?
2. What are the number of votes
necessary based on past elections?
8. What are the necessary suisse
quent steps then, assuming that it
passes?
In answering the first question
the general cited the
wording of the 1929 law, which
reads as follows:
eff a majority Of the electors
voting upon this proposition at such
election shall be in favor OF calling
a constitutional convention when a
constitutional convention shall be
held in the state of Indiana under
the provisions of this act, and If
such proposition shall so carry, it
shall be the duty of the Governor
to issue his proclamation that said
proposition has carried"
Answering the second question,
the encouragement pointed out
the exact number required could
only be determined by the number
of votes cast on the proposal.
He pointed out that past election
figures have nothing whatever to do
with the matter.
Procedure was outlined as being
proclamation by the Governor
calling the convention; an election
of 1C0 delegates to the constitu-
tional convention on the first Tues
day after the first Monday in May,
1881; assembly of the delegates at
the statehouse on the first Monday
in October, 1881, framing of the new
Constitution and its adoption or re-
lection by the people.

ABDUCTION Baked
Woman's Punch RepuISeS
Negro ASSaiIant.

Miss Margaret Barnhardt, Is, Of
852 Buchanan street, Saturday night
struck a Negro and escaped an at
tempted abduction.
One Negro was standing on the
running board of g. large car and
seized her by the shoulder as she
passed. She struggled and broke his
hold, hitting him in the face.
The driver of the car jumped to
aid of his companion and struck
Miss Barnhardt. Her scream brought
several men running to the scene
and the Negroes drove away.
Police believe the two are the same
who kidnapped and assaulted two
white women here recently.

PITY POOR AMERICA
.JabaneSe Student Finds Faults
BY ARCH sTEINEL.

We dreamed last night that
America bowed her head in shame.
We dreamed the Statue OF Liberty
donned sackcloth and ashes, that
thousands jammed night schools to
learn chow to be polite" that the
picture press used columns of metal
extolling the virtues of 1905 Most
Courteous Man and Woman and put
her beauties on the "slop' page.
We dreamed that Japanese,
Goro KatSuda, who has attended
school at Butler university for the
last two years, said that upon his
return to his own country he would
praise Americas politeness, her spir-
ituality, her Christianity.
Not So Moral
But he won't. Instead, Goro leaves
Indianapolis Friday on his way back
to Japan with these succinct opin-
ions to give his countrymen Of
America:
America is civilized in q material
way, not in the spiritual, not in the
moral.
Despite her prohibition, she Is
not as moral as Japan.
"We are more polite than Ameri-
cans, more grateful for what Amer
lea has done for U.s."
Nor does Goro's estimate of
Americans come from the lips OF
the immature. He is AZ years Of
age and was sent to the United
States by the Southern Manchuria
railroad to study business and eco
nomic conditions and to take courses
in our colleges.
Fluent in Speech
Although he could speak but
grammar school English when he
came here, he now is well versed in
our tongue. He credits the Cosmo-
politan Club, an Indianapolis organ
ization, with aiding in his fluency
of speech.
And if he has mite of praise for
us, a good word to carry back, 1t is
due to our womanhood.
1.-THE japanese women are mega
tive. They must stay in their homes
and work. The Japanese man doesn't
work about the house for his wife.
The American women are much
more advanced in knowledge, COM
mon sense. know when I get
back to my wife and three chill
dren that I shall do as you do, wash
the dishes, give her more liberties, y
he explained as he smiled bashfully
in his odd Oriental way.
ct will visit New York before I
return. Then go back by way of ST.
IBERIA. I want to see your Babe
Ruth"

FIXING
CHARGES MADE
BY La Toilette
Tells Senate Producers of
Chemicals Set Own
Tariff Rate.
BIZ United Press

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, Feb. ga charge
that American producers of chem
icalS are engaged in price fixing in
violation of the antitrust laws was
made in the senate today by Sem
ator Robert NJ. La Toilette Qnd. Rep,
Wis., during an attack upon tho
American valuation system of fix
ing tariff rates on chemicals and
coal tax products.
La Toilette urged the senate to
strike out of the pending tariff bill
the American valuation provision
on these products.
All Bids Alike
He pointed out the tariff rate is
fixed by the price OF the commodi-
ties in the American market and
this price is fixed by the American
producers so in reality they fix the
tariff on their own commodities.
La Toilette said bids were asked
of six chamical companies on gran
ular aspirin. All six bid 85 cents a
pound.
This means in my judgment, he
added that the price Of aspirin in
the United States is being fixed by
the small group of producers who
are engaged in the manufacture OF
this most important medicinal prod
uct. can not be a mere matter OF
coincidence because in earlier years
the bids showed considerable varia-
ton"
Cites Examples
The senator offered similar ex-
anpleS concerning saicylic acid and
vanillin, and said he had evidence
concerning other chemicals.
THE evidence shows that the
principal, if not the sole, producers
in the United States submit iden-
tical bids which do not vary as
much as a fraction of a cent, al
though because of difference of To-
cation, equipment and other factors
their costs of production must neces-
sarily differ widely" La Toilette
concluded.
