STATE ABLE TO
FIGHT LEPROSY
$500 Fund Ready to Care
for City Victim.

Indiana has a fund of $1,000,
residue of an appropriation of $4,000
made in 1920. with which to care
for Mrs Angelina Wade, native of
Hawaii, who was found to be suffer-
ing from leprosy at city hospital
Thursday.
Efforts to have the woman cared
for by the United States public
health service will be continued,
but the state fund will be utilized if
necessary, DR.. William F. King,
state health director, announced
today.
The fund was appropriated when
a railroad worker was found suffer
ing from the disease. After three
years treatment the worker was
cured and returned to duty on the
railroad.
Mrs. Wade IS the widow Of an
American soldier and has two
children in the soldiers and sailors
orphans home. She has another
child, year and a half old, born
since her husband died, state health
authorities say Members of the
family will be examined closely to
determine whether they show any
signs of the disease.
Due to her marriage to an
American, the woman, as an Amert-
can citizen, can not be deported to
Hawaii but may be sent to the fed
eral leper colony at Carville, La.

Next was an electric camel, which
bucked so vigorously that the
patient nearly fell of. "Good for
your hips" said the nurse. The
patient yelped and the professor
threw off the current.
The nurse looked at that part of
the patients anatomy which she re-
spectfuly called his abdomen. She
led him to what looked like a COM
Portable green plush coach and
strapped him on it. She should have
gagged him, because rollers, very
ticklish ones, too, began to vibrate
under the deceptive plush.
Reduces the biggest abdomen"
said the nurse. The professor smiled.
The patient, naturally tickled any
way, giggled. The patient got up,
but the nurse still was gazing pen
sively at his stomach. So she
pushed him into another seat and
then began to manipulate a lever
which brought a quartet of wooden
wheels in contact with the patients
vest.
Suddenly the wheels started to
race around in a circle, nipped off
two vest buttons and dug into his,

your abdomen will be sore fol
the first couple of treatments" said
the nurse, upon noticing the panied
expression in the patients eyes
Lets try the g-stretcher.
The patient sat on another plush
seat, put his feet into pair Of STIR
rups and shut his eyes while the
professor snapped the switch. The
patients legs went up, they went
sideways, they went down, they got
into positions which made the pa
TENTS optics bulge when he dared
to open them.
The nurse couldn't keep her eyes
of the patients abdomen. 1t fasci-
mated her to such an extent that
she placed him in chair covered
with copper plates. This also is
good for the abdomen" she said,
while adjusting a damp towel and
an electrical contact on the patients
abdomen. Again the switch was
snapped and the patient felt cleo
tricity coursing through him from
front to rear and maybe back again
There followed for the patient
demonstrations of machines which
stretched. pulled, pressed, pounded,
vibrated and massaged every part
of his anatomy with the possible
exception of his toes. The patient
put on his coat.
Came back again, said the pro-
lessor. :.

Senate Leaders Are Striving
to Prevent Threat of
Party Break.
SECRET SESSION LIKELY
Opposition, Gaining Power,
Causes Worry for
Political Bosses.
BY PAUL r. MALLON
United Press staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, April 17-So en-
barrassing politically has become
the opposition to Judge John J.
Parker as a supreme court justice
that two alternative plans Of pre-
venting an open Republican party
break are being arranged by senate
leaders.
If they can, the leaders will hold
the nomination in the senate judi
ciary committee indefinitely, in or
der to prevent a discussion of the
issues raised by the nomination on
the senate floor.
Failing in that. and they fear
they will fail, they will try to make
an agreement for a closed execu-
tive session of the senate to consider
the nomination. 1t would be the
first secret session of the senate
since the rules were changed last
spring, after the United Press pub
lished the secret debate and roll
calls on the Lenroot and West
nominations.
Telegram ArOuseS Comment
Under the change in rules ma
jority Of the senate must be lined
up in favor of the secret session be-
fore the doors can be closed
Some such step seems necessary
to the leaders since publication Of
a telegram sent to Senator Patter-
son CRep., Mo-, by B. G.. Voorhees,,
Republican state chairman of Mis-
souri,.
In my judgment the conf1rma-
ton of Judge Parker means that
the Republican party might just as
well say good-by to Missouri for
the next two or three elections at
least voorhees, stated.
ut will be the first great affront
given by a Republican President
and Republican senate to the Ne
gro race since the days of Abraham
Lincoln.
"It was a long, hard pull to put
Missouri in the Republican column.
1t seems q pity that the fine results
achieved through many years of
unremitting effort in Missouri on
the part Of the Republican state
organization should be thrown away
in two short years"
Senators Are Alarmed
Similar sentiments have been
voiced privately by some Of the lead
ers from other so-called border
states of West Virginia, Ohio, Ken
lucky, Indiana and Illinois.
They have caused alarm to the
senators from these and other states
who must decide whether Judge
Parker shall be confirmed. These
include such stalwart Republicans
as Golf wv. Va, Robson (Ky),
Mccullough (O), Robinson and
Watson (Ind0 where there are
10000 Negro voters, and Glenn
Qn0.
These senators, along with the
farm bloc members who are oppos-
ing Parker because of his yellow
dog contract" decision and few
Democrats, are the only ones now
listed in the opposition camp The
attitude of some of these still is
doubtful.
Parliamentarians believe Parker
would be confirmed if the vote is
taken in executive session without
open debate and the inevitable air.

GIANT Merger
IN MAIL Order

Union of Sears, Roebuck
and Montgomery Ward Is
Reported Brewing.
N. Y. FARLEY RUM0RED
Officials of Both Firms Are
RetiCent; Opposition
Is Scented.

BR United Press
CHICAGO, April 1.-THE Chicago
Journal Of Commerce said today
that principal stockho ders of Sears,
Roebuck & Co., and Montgomery
Ward & Co. are seeking a Satisfac-
tory basis for merger of the two
giant mail order and retail chain
systems.
officials of both firms in Chi
cago denied knowledge of the prof.
ect and expressed belief it might be
another Of the many rumors of con-
solidation linking the names Of the
companies.
The Journal of Commerce story
declared, however, that it was
learned from a source whose re-
liability is above reproach" that
some of the most important stock
holders in Montgomery Ward & Co.
had approached leading Sears, Roe
buck stockholders with the PROPOSE
ton and had found them in a
receptive mood"
Negotiations were declared to be
proceeding in the offices of j. P.
Morgan & Co in New York and that
company was characterized as a
principal factor in Montgomery
Ward.
Julius Rosenwald, chairman of the
board Of Sears, Roebuck, left for
New York Tuesday and the jour
nal of Commerce profeSsed to see a
possible connection of his visit with
the projected merger. At the offices
of that company here it was de-
clared his trip was for an entirely
different purpose.
The story pointed out that COM
ment in financial circles has been
to the effect that now would be a
favorable time for such a merger.
At present market prices two shares
of Montgomery Ward stock would
balance with one of Sears. The
principal sources Of opposition
were seen as the farmers who have
patronized the big houses generously
for years and the federal govern
ment, which might hold such a con-
solidation in restraint of trade.
