CUT AID FROM
GAS TAX BILL
Poor Relief Provisions Are
Taken From Measure.

Amendments providing for use of
the cities, counties and towns share
of the state gasoline tax for poor
relief, were stricken out of the SEN

second reading in its original form.
This provides that the some
$3,600,000 be distributed to the local
governmental units on Feb. l, m
stead of March 1, as customary.
The measure was introduced in the
senate as part of the unemployed
relief program of the special senate
committee and already has under
gone ten hours of debate.
Several attempts to postpone in
definitely the bill failed today, and
the senate recessed at noon until
2 p. m.

CHUCK WICCINS
IS JAILED AGAIN
Police Accuse PugiIiSt of
UnSCheduIed Bout.

The welcome sign was out at city
prison today heralding another
hegira of penance by Chuck Wig
gins, 81, heavyweight pugilist, after
alleged overtraining on gin led to
private and unpromoted warfare in
a downtown hotel early this morn
ing.
The "one-man riot" expressed
opinions not highly hattering to one
Morris (Sailor) Cohen, %, Edwards
hotel, and enforced those ideas
with his maul-like fists, police de-
clare.
The seaman did a little punish
ing on his own account before an
emergency squad, and two motor
police teams quelled the ruckus.
Chuck is charged with drunkenness
and assault and battery, and Cohen
with assault and battery.

Any well-goWerned pupil should
willingly make such sacrifice, the
demagogueS teach.
Silk might be used, it is Sug-
gested, and curb the complaints
of the players, for where is the
girl that doesn't dote on silks and
satins? But at Shortridge regu-
lationS are that the stockings
shall be of wool, as woolen as
any of the Shawls that grand
mother used to knit.
Wool, if a true fabric, is irk-
some to wear-it scratches. The
Shortridge girls testify further,
that when one is playing hard,
the stockings itch. This itching
sensation" is both obstructive to
thought and conducive to poor
game, it is alleged.
But even though all other
schools may adopt other styles,
it seems Shortridge must be diff
ferent.
Fads will not change and the
"Tale of the Stockings" contin-
ues to be a tale of woe.

LESLIE WANTS
BOOST IN FUND
To RUN OFFICE
Request for $4,000 Bigger
Appropriation AmazeS
Legislature Leaders.
SLASH is THREATENED
Wants S245, 900 Voted to
Him for Use in Next
Two Years.

Governor Harry G. Leslie wants
his appropriation for the next two
years to be $245 900 annually, an
increase of $4,000.
He has sent word to- the state
budget committee that the $4,000
allowed him the last two years is
insufficient.
Despite the storm of criticism and
protest which arose over the state
last year against the Governors be-
ing allowed a 100000 annual emer-
gency contingent fund, Leslie has
asked that the state continue giving
him this amount without any strings
tied to it, and which he may spend
at his discretion.
Amazed by Request
Leaders of both houses were
amazed today by the Governors re-
quest and declared that the ap-
preparation would be slashed.
Unlimited control of the 100000
annual contingent fund by Leslie
has aroused protest everywhere. Evi-
dence of extravaganza was shown,
it was charged, through an in
veStigation of the fund by The
Times, which revealed that Leslie
had spent $4,000 of the emergency
money to refurnish his mansion.
The state grants the Governor
$4,000 annually for the mainte-
nance of the mansion, while preced-
ing governors we're given but $2,40O
a year.
Never Published Figures
When the results of The Times
investigation were published Leslie
declared he would have his expen-
ditures audited and published.
The board of accountants checked
the emergency fund and supported
The Times disclosures, but the
Governor never explained what he
does with the $4,000.
It was recalled today that al
though Republican senators in 1929
were loath to raise the emergency
fund from $4,000 granted preced-
ing governors to the 100000 Leslie
demanded; and to boost the main
tenance fund from $4,000 to $4,000,
they nevertheless acceded to the
executives demands.
But instead of Senator Denver
Harlan (Wayne), Republican floor
leader leading the fight for the in
creased amounts, Senator Earl Row
ley( Rep, Laporte and Starke), then
friendly to Leslie, engineered the
move.
ROwIey Turns Insurgent
Today Rowley is an insurgent and
unfriendly to the Governor and the
senate Republicans feel that Leslie's
alleged indiscretion in his expend-
itures reflect upon their party, while
the Democratic house members
campaigned on the contingent fund
expenditures and naturally will re-
fuse to aid in the passage Of the
large appropriations, it was pointed
out.
Leslie's budget report shows that
$79,050.80 was used out of the emer-
gency fund in the 1928-1929 fiscal
year, and $160,328.03 in the last
fiscal year.
Lieutenant-Governor Edgar D.
Bush informed the budget commit
tee that it was not necessary for it
to grant him $500 contingent fund
again, as he did not spend the 1929
appropriation and returned it to the
general fund.

Instead of a Prince Charming,
it is the King of Trouble, pur-

Not even in the Olympian games,

The bright blue Shortridge

DAISY'S TRIAL ENDING
Arguments of Attorneys Are
Being Heard.
By United Press


LOS ANGELES, Jan. 81. - The
grand theft trial of Daisy De Voc
reached its final stages today with
Clara Bow, the actress, pictured by
the prosecution as "an artist with
no business sense" and Miss De Voc
as "a girl who betrayed a trust"
The comparison was drawn in the
argument of Dave Clark, district at
torney, to. the jury of seven men
and five women after the final wit
neSSes were heard late Tuesday.
Miss De Voc was charged with
stealing money, jewels and clothing
from Miss Bow during the two years
she was the actress secretary.
Miss Bow was no business wom-
an" Clark said. "She did not
pretend to be one. She is an act
reSS. That is why she wanted some
one to take this burden of of her
hands. You may think her foolish,
but as I have said before, Miss Bow
does not pretend to be a business
woman. She is simply an artist"

HUGHES ~WITHDRAWS AS
JUDGE ON WET APPEAL
Leaves Field Open for
Speculation on Clark
Ruling Case.
BIZ United Press

By United Press
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2O.-Chief
Justice Charles Evans Hughes to-
day Withdrew from the supreme
court bench pending arguments of
the governments appeal from the
ruling of Federal Judge William
Clark of Newark that the eight
eenth amendment improperly was
written into the Constitution.
Hughes gave as his reason the
fact that he was an attorney in the
so-called national prohibition cases
from Rhode Island argued in 1920,
when the courts upheld the amend
ment ana the Volstead act.
Speculation Is Wider
Hughes withdrawal leaves the
field open for wider speculation in
volving the courts lineup on the
decision.
An evenly divided A decision
becomes a possibility, and this,
some legal authorities believe,
would allow Judge Clark'S ruling to
stand.
Attorneys for each side were
given two hours for argument. This
is twice The usual time allowed.
Few believed Judge Clark would
be sustained.
Many thought the court would
not even write an opinion giving the
reasons for overruling him but
would dispose of the case within a
week by a brief per curiam" de-
cision.
In per curiam" decision the
court simply would hand down a
terse finding that the appeal was
overruled ora sustained on the basis
of past supreme court decisions"
Others believed the court would
write an opinion correcting what
many consider a shortcoming in
the so-called Rhode Island decision.
Peoples Rights Defended
In the Rhode Island case, argued
in the same marble chamber almost
eleven years ago, there were four
of the same justices who were sit
ting today. Five justices who sat
then have been replaced.
Those remaining are Justices Oil
yer Wendell Holmes, Louis D. Bran
deis, James c. McReynolds and VIII
lis Van Devanter. Van Devanter
wrote the Rhode Island opinion
sustaining the amendment and the
Volstead act.
Counsel for the New York law
yers who banded together several
months ago to test the validity of
the prohibition amendment we're re-
lying on the contention of Judge
Clark that only state conventions
properly could adopt an amendment
such as the eighteenth.
This amendment, they contend,
took rights from the people and
gave them to the federal govern
ment. They quote extensively from
history and literature, as did Judge
Clark.

HOUSE ADOPTS
AGE PENSIONS
BILL REPORT
First Straight Party Split
Occurs as Democrats
Out Chorus G. o. P.
PLATFORM is UPHELD
Measure Would Give Dole
of $25 to INDECENT
Persons Over 65.

First straight party division in
the Indiana house Of representatives
occurred today when the topheavy
Democratic majority there out
chorused the Republican minority
TO adopt majority committee re-
port favoring passage Of the old age
pension bill.
Reading the music written in the
Democratic state platform favoring
old age pensions, the seventy-five
representative of that party
drowned out Republican efforts to
recommit the pension measure to
the house committee on ways and
means.
First sign of the division on party
lines came with the divided re-
port of the committee on county
and township business which, Tues
day, held a hearing on the old age
pension bill, sponsored by the Fra
ternal Order of Eagles and sup
ported by organized labor.
Signed by 10 Democrats
To aged, INDECENT persons Of IS
years or more, the measure would
allow pensions of not exceeding $25
monthly, counties and the state to
share the cost equally.
Ten Democratic members of the
committee signed the report favor
ing passage. The three Republican
committeeman signed the report
advising recommitment of the bill
to ways and means.
Representative Frank Finney
Dem, Morgan), committee, chair
man, argued the bill belonged to his
committee because it contained no
appropriation provision. Represent
alive DELPHI L. McKesson (Dem.,
MarshalD and Representative Will
liam j. Black Oem., Madison) sup
ported this view.
For the minority, Representative
Horace r. Stauffer CRep., Elkhart)
argued the ways and means COM
mittee should consider the bill be-
cause it would call for expenditure
Of state money.
Republicans Are Silent
On proposal for substitution of
the minority report for the majority
report, Republicans, on the right
side of the house, lifted their voices
in a chorus of ayes" But they
we're drowned out by the noes" of
their Democratic opponents at the
left.
Then after the Democratic side
gave yociferous approval to adop-
ton of the majority report, favor
ing passage, not a Republican was
heard in opposition, and the G. o. p
kept from being fatty on record as
opposed to passage.
A senate bill, carrying the same
pension provisions, except for an
amendment which advanced the
qualifying age from IS to 70 years,
was to have been handed down for
second reading and amendment to-
day
But Senator Walter S. Chambers
Dem, Hancock, Henry and Mad
ison), one of its authors, was abb
sent, and Senator James j. Nejdl
Rep, Lake.. co-author, was un-
willing to call the measure down in
Chambers absence.
