District National Guard

The QUESTION of improvement in the
Armory facilities for the National Guard
of the District of Columbia was pre-
sented to the Washington Chamber of
Commerce last week by Maj. Gen. Anton
Stephan, commander of the local militia
brigade. and also chairman of the
National Guard Committee of the trade
body. The committee did not seek at
that time a formal approval of any
project, but merely recommended that
the trade organization approve at the
proper time the action of Government
officials now studying the projects, If
they meet with the approval Of the
committee.
Gen. Stephan reported that q very
small number Of the committee mem
bers were present when 1t met recently
in the Armory. However, he says they
took much interest in the drill activities
of the Guard, which were in progress
at the time, and made a tour of the
Armory building to determine the real
needs of the organization.
He reported the committee discussed
a number of proposals which have been
advanced for providing the National
Guard with permanent housing facilities
and recommended that the Washington
Chamber of Commerce indorSe at the
proper time the action of such officials
of the Government as may recommend
solution of the local Guard Armory
problem.
The committee was informed. he said,
that number Of governmental agencies
now are studying the situation and it
is anticipated that recommendations
will be made to Congress within the
next two months. 1t is believed. he
continued, that these recommendations
Of Government agencies should be in
dorSed unless at that time a special
meeting of the committee recommends
otherwise.
In the report. the commanding gen.
eral did not give any information on
the plans being worked out by the gov
ernmental agencies, but 1t is probable
that they have to do with the proposed
transfer to the Guard for armory pur-
poses of the Pension Office Building in
Judiciary Square. The governmental
agencies which have been considering
the matter are the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission and q
special committee of District Of Co
lumbia officials appointed by the Board
of Commissioners. Col. John w. Och
ment of Engineers, the largest unit in
the local Guard, is member Of this
committee.
The first inkling that the govern
mental agencies might make their re-
port within a few months came from
Gen. Stephan in his statement to the
chamber. While the Guard officials
originally sought the Pension ONCE
Building, their plan at first did not
meet with much favor, it was said,
among War Department officials. Then
the local Guard officials formulated a
plan for the acquisition of the Wash
ington Auditorium, and a bill was in
troduced in Congress proposing to au-
thorize its purchase. However, the
Planning Commission then took a hand
in the matter and formally voted
against the placing of the Guard in
the area where that building Is located,

CognoVit Note Measure Is
Lost in House by
Wide Margin.

Charges Of vicious legislation"
were hurled in the house of repre-
sentatives Monday afternoon when
a cognovit note bill, fathered, it is
charged, by the bank lobby, was
defeated by an overwhelming vote.
The bill, introduced by Represen-
tative Earl Crawford, Milton bank
err and Democratic caucus chairman,
called for repeal of the 1927 act
which made possession of a cognovit
note felony.
Leading the attack on the meas
ure was Representative Jacob Weiss,
Democrat, Marion county attorney.
Weiss was absent looking up some
statutes on the bill when told the
measure was upof for third reading,
and hurried back into the house
to oppose the repeal bitterly.
Weiss, backed by other attorneys,
charged in debate that repeal would
open the gates to widespread abuses
Of the cognovit note. A measure
passed earlier in the Afternoon also
introduced by Crawford, defined the
cognovit note and made it void in
Indiana.
Prior to passage of the 1927 law
making possession of the notes a
felony, attorneys charge notes dis
counted in Illinois could be brought
into Indiana, Judgment confessed
through an attorney and attach
ment Of property made without the
process of law usual in other debt
settlements.
The Crawford measure, passed
with approval of all cognovit note
opponents in the house, merely
would use the notes as evidence of
debt and provides for collection
through due process of law.
Representative John D. T. Bold
Dem., Vanderburgh), in arguing
for repeal, declared he was opposed
to Indiana being a haven for dead
BEATS"
Representatives Herbert P. Ken
ney (Dem., Floyd, Roy G. Street
(Tippecanoe and Warren) and Ger
rift M. Bates Dem., Marion),
joined Weiss in assailing the repeal
bill as vicious legislation"
Repeating the 1927 act means that
banks without your knowledge can
levy against your property and it
merely will put money in the bank
ers' pockets" warned Street in
plea for the bills defeat.

HEADLESS BODY
FORMS ISSUE IN
MURDER TRIAL
Marion Man Accused in
Death of Former Prison
Cell Mate.
ByTimes Spec

BIZ Times Special
HARTFORD CITY, Ind, Feb. s.
Edward Blotz Of Marion is on trial
in Blackford circuit court here
charged with the murder Of Thomas
Tucker, his former cell mate in the
Indiana state prison, a case unique
in that the corpus delicti issue win
be greatly emphasized, owing to the
fact that the head Of the supposed
Staying victim has not been found.
The case was brought here on a
change of venue from Grant circuit
court. II. F. Hardin, Grant county
prosecutor, is conducting the states
case.
Son Caused Arrest
It is alleged that the Staying oc-
Cured about April q. 1929. 1t was
not until eight months later that
the headless body Of man was
found in Seegar creek two miles
north Of Marion, as the result Of
a statement by Lewis Blotz, %, son
Of the accused man. He said his
father used a hammer in the killing
and buried the body in garage at
the Blotz home in Marion. Later.
he says he was forced to help his
father in exhuming the body and
that it was dismembered with q
butcher knife. The parts were
placed in a burlap sack which was
thrown into the creek, according to
the son.
Various Stories Told
Prosecutor Hardin declares the
elder Blotz has told conflicting
stories regarding the tragedy. He is
said to have once stated that Tucker
left Marion for Newport, KY, and
also that he had been returned to
the prison.
Another story credited to Blotz
runs to the effect that he and
Tucker quarreled after being in the
company Of two Marion girls on an
automobile ride and they fought at
the Blotz home, after which Tucker
disappeared.
A special venire Of fifty has been
called for prospective jury service.
The state is seeking a penalty of life
imprisonment.
