His face was weak. his voice was strong.
And like a foghorn through the night

But none Of these he seerned to see

"Quite yellow is, I think, your hide.

"Oh stay the Hoover said. and rest
Thy weary head upon this breasti"
A tear stood in his dull gray eve.
But still he answered with a sigh
Beware the Redsl"

Behold the sun Is breaking through"
This was the peasants last farewell
AS down the gulch he heard a yell

At break OF day as wiser men
Walked through the valley and the glen.

tives today adopted without a dis

its ways and means committee that
the 4-mill tax levy for the state
teacher retirement fund be suspend

Strong opposition to the report
developed in the ways and means

the retirement fund, and Henry W.
Buttolph, fund actuary, charged
suspension Of the levy would inter

ceive approval.

ceeded 225,00o.
Thompson and Cermak go to the
polls again April Z to determine
which shall head the nations sec
ond largest city for the next four

Chicago's most spectacular primary
"a campaign punctuated with cir
Gus acts, vaudeville, invective of the
frontier sort and numerous libel
suits.
Results were announced only after
they had passed to Thompson's Of
fees through the hands of the po-
lice.
Far into the morning hours
Thompsonites made merry in the
executive offices on the fifth floor
of the city hall
A jazz band whooped up Big
Bills campaign song, Happy Days
Are Here Again"
Hundreds of well-wishers showed
to shake the mayors hand or pat
him on the back.
Caterers carried in trayload after
trayload Of food.
Big Bill talked so much he was
hoarse.

Cement BILL MOVES
House Adopts Report for
Prison Made Concrete.

Despite attempts today of a mi
nority of the house committee on
reformatory institutions to obtain
indefinite postponement of the
Ryan bill, which would require state
penal institutions to manufacture
cement for use of state and local
governmental units, the majority re-
port recommending passage was
adopted.
The author, Representative John

lions of dollars would be saved If
the state manufactured its own &C.
ment by prison labor for the use Of

and municipalities.
Prisoners could be put to work in
the cement plant and thus not be
employed in manufacturing prod
ucts in competition with union Ia

KILL |. U. PROPOSAL
Senate Tables Amendmen.
of LindIey.

Pointing out that the state board
of education, of which President
William Lowe Bryan of Indiana uni
versity is member, chooses five
Indiana university trustees, Senator
Alonzo H. Lindley (Rep., Fountain
Vermilion and Warren) today tried
to amend the law so that these trus-
tees would be appointed by the
Governor.
"The present system constitutes
a closed corporation" Lindley de-
clared. 1.-THE president of the uni
versity chooses the trustees and they
in turn elect the president"
But the Lindley amendment was
tabled by a vote Of 80 to 8. Senator
William B. Hoadley (Rep., Brown
Greene and Warren), declared that
the present system had resulted in
trustees securing $4,000,000 in pri-
vate building gifts for the univer-
Sity.
The amendment would have been
attached to house bill giving alum
nj voting powers to doctors, nurses
and dentists, graduates Of the uni
versity, and providing that a plu-
rality be sufficient for the choice Of
the three alumni trustees.

AID FOR BONUS
BILL IS ASKED
Congress Support in Case
of Veto Requested.

Members Of congress today were
asked to override possible veto OF
the veterans loan bill by Ralph T
O'Neil, American Legion national
commander.
O'Neils letters to congressman
blamed IAN unfriendly treasury de-
partment attitude" for much of the
criticism Of the bill.
He estimated that the maximum
amount of additional loans that
will be made under this legislation
will not exceed $525, 100000, basing
figures on data obtained by 10000
Legion posts.
1.-THE congress should keep in
mind that these loans will have no
relation whatever to an impending
deficit" O'Neil wrote. Congress
merely has made available for loans
to the veterans the reserve fund of
$800,000,000 which already has been
appropriated for their use. The
present bill does not require a bond
issue"
The national commander pledged
the Legion's aid to all distressed
veterans in obtaining their loans,
but promised to discourage veterans
not in need from applying for loans.

DRUNK DRIVING
LAID TO Wife
OF POLITICIAN
Woman Whose Husband Is
ConqreSsman-EIeCt to
Face Court.

Mrs. Eugene B. Grove. 48. Bed
ford, wife Of the Democratic con-
gressman-elect from the Third In
diana district, was to appear be-
fore Municipal Judge Clifton r.
Cameron this afternoon on drunken
driving charges.
Her automobile, it is alleged, ran
through a stop street, collided with
another machine, injuring two per-
sons and knocked down a gasoline
pump at a filling station at Troy
and Madison avenues Tuesday night.
She also was charged with failure
to stop at a preferential street, and
drunkenness. Two hours after her
arrest Cameron ordered her re-
leased on her own recognizance, in
custody Of William Storen, state
treasurer.
Son Also Faces Charge
Her son, Barney Grove, 80. suf-
fered a scalp wound, and was
charged with drunkenness. Miss
Constance Newlin, a nurse, riding
with Harley Brown, 80, of $50 West
New York street. driver Of the other
car, also was injured.
The Groves say the son had spent
the afternoon in a dentists Office
here, and deny that either was
drunk. Mrs. Grove was unfamiliar
with indianapolis thoroughfares,
she declared.
Reminded this morning that
police have maintained an almost
iron-clad rule that persons charged
with drunkenness are not to be re-
leased with or without bond for
four hours, Cameron said he ordered
her released to Storen.
Says He Didn't Know
"She was not drunk. know that.

clared.
Petit said he not only had not
informed the Judge MIS-. Grove was
sober, but added that he didn't know
whether she was, because he did not
see her.
Patrolman Tom Kegeris, who.
with patrolman Charles Taylor,
made the arrest, declared Mrs.
Grove pretty we'll lit" and said
that en- route to headquarters in
the police patrol she didn't know
whether she was in a taxicab or
patrol wagon"
