The state police commissioner is the only state official whom the governor can appoint without confirmation of the general assembly. In all probability this phase of the bill will perish in committee.
 However, the portion of the bill which would increase the state po- lice staff Is favored. 1t is understood and probably will be framed as a separate bill, to be reported favor ably. :,

CHIROS OBJECT
TO SENATE BILL
County, City Health Board
Proposal to Be Fought.

Indiana chiropractors are up in
arms again.
In meeting of their association
at the DeniSon Sunday they voiced
vehement objections to Senate Bill
80, creating city and county boards
of health.
They claim the bill would:
Increase the tax burden of the
citizens from 100000 to $4,000
annually; create a gigantic political
organization with the state board
of health as the head; permit illegal
search of private homes and prop
erty without warrant; unlawfully
place unlimited power in health
matters in the state board of health
and deny any citizen the right to
appeal therefrom.
Cooperating with officials of the
Indiana Naturopathic Association,
the chiropractors said they would
petition for public hearing on the
bill before the senate committee on
state medicine and health.

AVALANCHE

CHAMBERY, France, March IA
O.N.SD.-Army engineers pitted
technical skill against a sliding
mountain mass near here today,
to halt its juggernaut downhill
march over helpless communities
and fertile fields of French Savoy.
The rolling mass of millions
of cubic yards of earth, rock, and
snow already has swallowed four
villages, scattering it's inhabitants
in terror. The large town of
Oranges is in the path of the ap-
preaching menace.
The engineers planned to halt
the landslide by splitting its move
ment and diverting parts of it
into a mountain torrent. To ac-
cOmplish this necesSitateS the de-
StructiOn of several bridges.

Marked impetus to the Presi-

Roosevelt is today regarded as

The New Yorker is successfully

view. The careers o. Grover

Governor Roosevelt, it is pre-

Reiterating his intention to run
for Congress again in 1882, former

of Illinois prepared today for a
trip to Panama and thence around
the world, following his acquittal
here on a charge of possessing
liquor.
DenisOn plans to leave Washing

His acquittal on the prohibition
charge came after a jury of eight
men and four women in District
Supreme Court deliberated an
hour at the conclusion of three
day trial.
