DIVIDED REPORT
ON BILLS READY
Curb on Appliance Sale by
Utilities Sought.

Divided committee reports viii
be presented in the senate today
on the bills to curb utility COM
petition in selling appliances and
to tax erection of telephone and
telegraph poles along highways.
Senator Earl Rowley CRep., La
porte and Starke) held a public
hearing on the bills Tuesday after
noon.
Dealers in gas and electrical ap-
planes from throughout the state
testified that statesmen for utilities
were selling stoves, radios and
vacuum cleaners by strong arm
methods. They tell purchasers thai
unless these things are bought from
them they will refuse to furnish
power, it was asserted.
Attorneys for the utilities de-
clared that such craftsmanship was
not carried on with their consent
and VIII be stopped.
The appliance bill also provides
that any purchase of more thar
$500 by utilities must be advertised
and let to the lowest bidder. This
was opposed by the utility men or
the grounds that emergency pur-
chaSes have to be made to retain
service.

HENRY BLOCKS

CounCiImen Fling Charges
at G. 0. P. Member.

With councilmen hurting accuse
tions at George Henry, Republican
member, it was not deemed likely
today that a special session of the
city board will be called to pass two
unemployment relief measures.
Henry blocked action on them
Monday night when, after becoming
irked over postponement of his taxi
control ordinance, he voted against
suspension Of the rules for pas
sage. The proposals would have
divided $4,000 between the street
and city engineering departments
providing jobs for 200. He said he
was not aware of the nature of the
proposed ordinances.
IF Henry has said he didn't know
those ordinances were TO relieve IN
employment, that's sufficient reason
why I won't favor calling a special
meeting now-to save him from
criticism President Ernest Ropkey
stated.
when he heard the remainder of
the council voting in favor of the
action, he should have inquired what
his negative was being cast on"
Other councilmen characterized
Henry's politics as "boyish,'' and
Ropkey added he was willing to give
Henry two weeks to think over his
foolish action"

SPLIT IN HOUSE
ADDS TO POWER
OF LONCWORTH
Speaker Reveals Strength
in Cleavage With TiIson
on Hoover Bills.

By United Press
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S.-Polit-
ical interest at the Capitol focused
today upon a split in the Repub-
lcan leadership of the house from
watch Speaker Nicholas Longworth
has emerged with something of the
commanding influence which at
tached to his Office before the re-
volt against Cannonism In 1910.
The split is between Longworth
and the tall, handsome John O.
Tilson, Republican floor leader. a
Connecticut Yankee who was born
in Tennessee.
Tilson hitherto has formed with
the Speaker and Chairman Bertrand
H. Smell New York;, OF sthe rules
committee, triumvirate of power
about which legends were beginning
to gather.
On two important controversial
matters. drought relief and the vet
Grams loan bill, Tilson boldly has
taken up the cudget for the admin
lstration. In each case, Longworth
has overruled him and carried his
point by support of the house.
Defeat of Tilson and his relega-
ton to a post of minor Importance
In house councils, at least for the
present, peculiarly has been notice
able because of his outspoken cham
pionship of the administration to
the bitter end.
Full realization of the power of
Longworth came when Tilson sat
glunly in his place and listened to
the roll-call on the veterans bill in
which only thirty-eight others
raised their noes" for the admins
tration.
